[Black Basket Miracle Black] Absent Shadow

"General." With the falling of the chess pieces, everything is a foregone conclusion.

"Sigh." Heizi sighed softly, not because he was dissatisfied with the ending, but because he felt tired after a long "battle".The whole morning was spent playing shogi with the captain, and there was always only one result.The current score is 37:0, and Heizi is completely defeated.

"Akashi-kun, I think no matter how many rounds I play, I will be instantly killed." Kuroko looked at Akashi's slightly smug expression and said blankly, "No one can beat Akashi-kun in shogi, right? "This is not a polite remark, Akashi's talent in shogi is as undeniable to Kuroko as his talent in basketball, and... Judging from Akashi's character, will he let others win?How can it be!As far as Akashi is concerned, the philosophy of "winning is everything" applies to all fields.So, no matter what method you use, you must win!However, the main reason why Heizi said this is... I am so tired after playing all morning, I really want to end it soon! ! !

"Tetsuya, it's not like you to admit defeat so quickly." The chess piece in his hand was used freely, and Akashi was obviously able to handle it with ease. "Akashi-kun, please don't make it so easy." Kuroko corrected his sitting posture and then replied in a flat tone, "Being an experienced shogi player bullying a beginner who just started gives you a sense of accomplishment, doesn't it?"

"Tetsuya has been speaking more and more impolitely recently." "No, this is your illusion, Akashi-kun."

"Heh." Seeing the blue-haired boy on the opposite side trying to maintain that calm and paralyzed expression, Akashi chuckled.I don't know why, but I think Tetsu who is so awkward is also very cute.

"Buzz..." Something was vibrating, Akashi glanced at the phone on the table, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

"I've been in the room for a long time, Tetsu also want to go out for a walk?" "Okay, Akashi-kun."

Being held by Akashi seems to have become a habit, but no matter how many times Kuroko has a natural reaction of wanting to withdraw his hand, and then...of course, he will be held even tighter!It's not that this look is uncomfortable, but it's inevitable that... two boys holding hands is a bit weird?But obviously Akashi didn't have such worries at all, the movement of holding hands was as natural and smooth as eating and sleeping.

Due to the approaching winter, the temperature in the courtyard is a bit low, and there will be some cool wind blowing here from time to time. Although it is not so cold, it will still cause people to slip into the body through the gaps in the clothes inadvertently. A shiver.At this time, Kuroko had to admit that being held by Akashi was very warm.

So the direct consequence of being in a daze from the moment he went out is... Heizi didn't notice the change in the road under his feet, and he staggered and almost fell, but luckily he reacted in time and stabilized himself.

"What's the matter, Tetsuya?" Akashi, who was walking in front, turned his head, and his eyes fell on Kuroko.

"Nothing, I just feel..." "Huh?"

"It's rare to see Akashi-kun like this." Kuroko stopped walking.In my impression, Akashi always wears a blue and white jersey with "4", or sits on the bench to watch the situation, or stands on the court to control the whole court; moreover, he wears the school uniform neatly, generously, elegantly and elegantly. Occasionally take a look at those common places in the school.Whether it was before or now, this is the first time for Kuroko to see Akashi wearing a yukata, which is much more suitable than expected, very handsome.

"Well, yes. There is indeed very little time for a leisurely walk like this." Akashi replied as if he had a different understanding.

"Because Akashi-kun always looks very busy." Kuroko wanted to ask since a long time ago, obviously everyone is the same, just a middle school student, why is Akashi-kun so busy?Does the son of a famous family have to bear so much?That... isn't it tiring?

"It's okay." As if seeing through Kuroko's thoughts and worries, Akashi smoothed his soft blue hair reassuringly.In this world, because of our identity, we will always have some things that we cannot help ourselves.

Even in the cold, Kuroko still clearly saw the reassuring tenderness in Akashi's eyes.This made him have to sigh... If only Akashi-kun was always like this on weekdays!From time to time, it's too scary to just hit the second grade or something!

"Akashi-kun, why did you bring me here?" No matter what, Kuroko finally asked the question in his heart.He was very concerned about how much Akashi knew about "this matter". "Because Zhe wants to come too."

Meeting that playful smiling face, Kuroko said in an unprecedentedly serious tone: "Please stop joking, Akashi-kun, I'm serious." "I'm serious, Tetsuya." Akashi's gaze was direct Facing those clear blue eyes, deep red and clear yellow, Heizi's heart trembled.

"Well, actually, when I saw the photos, I felt that this place was inexplicably familiar, so I wanted to come." Akashi looked away, began to scan the scenery in the courtyard, and paused somewhere, "Obviously the first It’s the second time, but it feels like I’ve been here before.”

Heizi's eyes flickered, and he clenched his hands unconsciously.

"Does Tetsu know why?" Looking at Kuroko again, Akashi's unfathomable eyes seemed to silently imply something.

"How would I know, Akashi-kun." Kuroko avoided his gaze and spoke a little faster. "Really." Akashi elongated his tone thoughtfully, and suddenly he took a step, pulling Kuroko to a tree quickly.The uniquely shaped trees came into view, and Kuroko opened his eyes slightly.

The trees that have almost lost their leaves are bare, with only a few nearly dry branches left.Different from other trees, the shape of the tree in front of him resembles a hunchbacked grandfather struggling to move forward, so Heizi still remembers it vividly.But...the tree left a deep impression on Heizi's heart...it's more than that!

Something vaguely appeared in his mind, as if some sharp object had been inserted into the tree, and Heizi's expression changed.No, those bad things have passed, don't think about them again! ! !

"Tetsuya, look." Akashi suddenly stretched out his hand to cover the rough tree trunk, stroked it lightly, but his eyes suddenly became cold, "I don't know why, I always have a desire to destroy this tree."

"Please don't say any more! Akashi-kun!" Heizi frowned slightly, and he, who had always been calm about things, actually felt that impatience, and wanted to end this topic quickly!Want to get out of this place fast!

"Tetsuya, you..." Just as Akashi was about to say something, the phone rang inappropriately, and after glancing at the screen, Akashi calmly turned it off. "Tetsuya, let's go back, I'm a little hungry."

"Yeah." Right in the middle of his wish, Heizi agreed without the slightest hesitation. "By the way, Akashi-kun's cell phone has been ringing since this morning, is it okay?" After calling so many times, is there something to deal with at home?Is it really a man to just hang it aside like this?What if there is a delay?

"Na Zhe, let's go back to the room first. Food has already been delivered. I'll go back after I've dealt with things here." Akashi gestured to the phone in his hand, and Kuroko didn't have any objections.But... is it my own illusion?I always feel that Akashi-kun's smile just now is very happy, and there are even some... twitchy?Whose phone is it?

By the way, having said that... When it comes to "calling", Kuroko suddenly realizes one thing, that is... "Where is my mobile phone?" It seems that it has disappeared since I got in the car with Akashi-kun...Eh? !

When he opened the door, Heizi happened to see that the woman in charge of meals had put away her things and was about to leave. After seeing Heizi, the woman smiled very friendly.Heizi hesitated for a while, and finally went up to him: "Mrs. Fujimaki, do you remember me?"

"Remember, Heizi Tetsuya, little Zhe." The woman had a loving face, "I'm glad you can come back to this place again."

"Madam, you...I..." Heizi's emotions suddenly became agitated, and he was incoherent for a while, not knowing what to say.

There are many questions I want to ask, but when the time comes, I don't know where to ask them.

"What's the matter, don't you like this place?" the woman said again. "No, I really like the feeling here, it's very warm." Heizi replied honestly. "It's just that... it seems to be too quiet."

The woman smiled helplessly: "That's because only the two of you are here this time."

Heizi was taken aback for a moment...and suddenly realized.

Since when did you get used to the fact that there are always some noisy people around you?

"Hello Mrs. Fujimaki, what is Kazutsu talking about?" At this time, Akashi, who was said to be going to deal with the matter, came back.

"Master Akashi, Kuroko seems to be a bit bored here." The woman replied calmly, "There is a leisure center nearby, you can go and have a look."

"Well, let's go then." Akashi smiled, and cut off the ringing phone again.
