[Black Basket] And Tsukihara Atsushi's Cookies

The first time Atsushi Murasakihara knew about Rina Orange Garden was during the "study trip" in the second semester of the second grade.

Atsushi Murasakihara remembered that it was a temple in Kyoto, and it was raining lightly at the time, because it was sunny an hour ago, and the rain was not too heavy, and not everyone was holding an umbrella.

At that time, there were still 10 minutes before the stipulated meeting time. Murasakihara on the bus just finished eating all the snacks, and then got off the bus with Kise Ryota, who was still a classmate at the time and happened to be thirsty, and headed to a nearby convenience store.

Most of Japanese middle school study trips are concentrated in September and October, and the scenic spots are all students.

Huang Lai, who was shopping at a convenience store in the scenic area, was recognized by two girls first, and then more and more girls rushed forward to ask for autographs and group photos.

Atsushi Murasakihara thought that these people were too noisy, ignored Kise's eyes asking for help, and walked towards the meeting place with a snack bag.

Then...he misremembered the direction.

When Murasakihara found that the buildings around him became more and more unfamiliar, he finally stopped and thought about a question seriously.

- I seem to be lost, what should I do?

That was probably one of the most stupid and embarrassing moments in Ziyuan's memory.

Because he actually made a fatal mistake: he only brought his wallet and left his mobile phone in the car.

Seeing the rain getting heavier and heavier.

Ziyuan chose to find a shelter from the rain and stand there, waiting for others to come to him.

——Don’t you always regard me as a landmark building, find me quickly.

Because of the rain, there are fewer and fewer people.

Ziyuan stood blankly under the eaves of the temple, watching the dripping water, mechanically stuffing snacks into his mouth.

When a large bag of potato chips was eaten and there was only one Pocky left in the box, Ziyuan heard a hesitant voice——

"Zi Yuan-kun, why are you still here?"

Hearing his name, Murasakihara raised his head.

In the rain and mist he saw a red umbrella.

The umbrella was slowly raised, and a beautiful and pale girl appeared in Atsushi Murasakihara's sight.

It was about the bad weather at the time.

Probably because of the sudden loss, Ziyuan was in a trance.

For a moment, Murasakihara was frightened.

Because the girl doesn't look like a living person at all.

She is so beautiful that people are in a daze, her smile is gentle and beautiful, and her voice is also very nice.

It's just... less like a living person.

People are speechless in extreme fear.

Atsushi Ziyuan could only watch helplessly as the guy who didn't know whether it was a "female ghost" or a "female monster" walked towards him step by step.

——"Ziyuan-kun, are you waiting for someone?"

Murasakihara didn't answer, because he was frightened out of his wits.

In his horrified gaze, the beautiful "female ghost" took out a new mobile phone.

Zi Yuan stared at her blankly: Hey, the female ghost is so pretty.

"Nakashi-kun, have the 5 groups assembled yet? I saw Murasakihara-kun... is that right, okay, don't worry, I'll take him there right away... okay, okay, goodbye," said the "ghost" After finishing, he let out a long sigh, "Mr. Ziyuan, come with me."

"Where are you going?" Ziyuan's voice trembled.

"Send you back." The "ghost" smiled warmly.

Ziyuan foolishly followed the footsteps of the "female ghost" and let her lead him away.

Until the "female ghost", no, the girl made a second phone call, suspected of reporting the situation to the teacher, Ziyuan finally realized that this was a living person.

He couldn't help but look at the strange girl who was suspected to be his classmate.

Her slender arms were raised high, holding a not-so-big red umbrella in the wind and rain. The umbrella blocked most of the rain for Ziyuan, and the girl's small shoulder was exposed to the rain.

"You don't have to take care of me, I'm a boy."

Murasakibara whispered, her ears gradually became warm.

Her hair smells so good~

"It's okay, we'll be there soon." The girl raised her head and said with a smile. Seeing the dimples at the corners of the girl's lips, Zi Yuan felt his whole body burn.

"...Thank you, thank you."

"you are welcome."

The sticky rain suddenly became beautiful.

Under the umbrella, Atsushi Ziyuan peeked at the girl next to her, she is so pretty~

Why didn't I notice it before, there are such good-looking girls in the class, is it because I go to bed after class~

The girl quickly took him back to the collection place.

The chairman of Group 5 rushed over anxiously, looking like he was about to cry: "Orange Garden, thank you so much, I will thank you when I get back, I will take him to the car first."

"It's easy to do, get in the car, I have to go back." The girl said, waved to the two and was about to leave.

"Aren't you going to get in the car?"

Ziyuan looked at the girl with some confusion in her clear eyes.

The girl was startled for a moment, then realized something, and said with a dumbfounded smile, "I'm not in this group."

After speaking, she held on to the eye-catching red umbrella and quickly disappeared from Atsushi Murasakihara's sight.

After the school trip.

Ziyuan often looks around the school looking for the "red umbrella girl" she saw that day.

Soon, Ziyuan saw her again in the cafeteria.

She was surrounded by a lot of girls, each of whom wanted to talk to her.

Ziyuan wandered around her several times, but did not find a suitable opportunity.

What was even more strange was that the girl disappeared after eating.

There seemed to be no way he could meet her outside of the cafeteria.

until one day.

During training in Ziyuan Gymnasium, a familiar voice was heard outside the door:

"Kikuta-kun, please call Akashi-kun, I'll bring him something."

"Well, wait a minute... Akashi, someone is looking for you!"

Murasakihara looked up and saw the girl who had been looking for many times and Akashi who was talking to her.

The two looked very familiar.

Zi Yuan couldn't help but said: "Who is the girl who is talking to Chi Zai?"

"Which one?" Qingfeng glanced at the door, "She, Rina Juyuan from the Science Department, is in the student club."

Before Ziyuan could reply, Kise who was on the side teased, "Xiao Qingfeng actually knows girls other than Xiao Taozi, it's not easy."

Qingfeng quickly twirled the basketball with his fingers: "It's normal to know Juyuan, she and Wuyue are friends, Zhe also knows her, I think she's a nice person, a few days ago Mayue's earphone broke, and she helped to fix it."

"That's right, she is the most popular girl among the students in her class, but she is too perfect, I always feel that it is not real, it is better like Xiao Taozi, isn't it, Xiao Ziyuan." Kise said with a smile .

Murasakihara didn't want to go along with Kise, and muttered impatiently: "I'm going to buy some snacks."

Turn around and walk towards the door.

He wanted to say something to her, even if it was just a simple hello.

Before Ziyuan could reach the door, a girl's gentle voice came from outside:

"Akashi-kun, I'm going home first, see you tomorrow."

"See you."

Murasakihara: ...

After meeting briefly that day, the girl disappeared again.

This time, he didn't even have the chance to meet her in the cafeteria.

After looking for it, Ziyuan forgot about it.

Time turned and it was the eve of Valentine's Day.

The classmates in the class are discussing about Valentine's Day.

Atsushi Ziyuan fell asleep on the desk, and the sound of intermittent discussions floated into his ears——

"I prepared chocolate for Valentine's Day this year."

"Who are you going to give it to, is it Kise-kun?"

"No, it's pear jam from the 2 groups. We agreed to swap chocolates. I'm really looking forward to the pear jam chocolate."

"It's actually an orangery, it's too cunning, why didn't I think of it!"

"Hey, I also made an appointment with Pear Jam to exchange chocolates, and we also made an appointment to go shopping and watch movies together after school!"

"So it was you who asked out Pear Jam?! Damn Keiko!"

……

——It was so noisy.

Ziyuan lay on the table, wanting to cover her ears and listen.

Orangery, not a very common surname, are they discussing her?

Valentine's Day.

I love Valentine's Day.

There will be lots and lots of chocolates.

Will there be hers?

If she gave me chocolates, would I have to prepare a gift in return... Sigh, chocolates, it's so troublesome to make.

Murasakihara was full of imagination, just thinking about it like this made him very happy.

On Valentine's Day the next day, Atsushi Murasakihara came to school late on purpose.

As soon as the shoe cabinet was opened, all kinds of beautifully packaged chocolates fell down.

In addition to the shoe cabinet, his table hole and the bookcase in the class are also stuffed with various chocolates.

Looking at the various packages, Ziyuan was full of happiness.

——A lot.

So many must have her chocolate bar.

But Murasakihara was disappointed.

He did receive lots and lots of chocolates.

But none from "Orange Garden Rina".

Murasakihara did not give up, and went to the shoe cabinet again during lunch break.

Without warning, he saw the "Red Umbrella Girl" again in the sunny porch.

At her feet is a large suitcase, which is filled with all kinds of chocolates.

When Atsushi Murasakihara arrived, she was busy taking out boxes of chocolates from the shoe cabinet and stuffing them into the suitcase.

——She is really popular, both boys and girls like it.

Perhaps sensing Atsushi Ziyuan's gaze, the girl raised her head and gave him a friendly smile: "Mr. Ziyuan, good afternoon."

Ziyuan glanced at the girl, obviously nervous, but pretended to be indifferent: "You know me?"

The girl said with a good temper: "There is no one in the school who doesn't know Mr. Ziyuan, and we met on the school trip."

"Really, I don't remember."

Murasakihara heard his own cold voice.

Ah, what a shame.

Is it so difficult to admit that you still remember the other person?

But I just don't want to admit it.

It seems that once you admit it, you lose.

The girl didn't seem to mind Atsushi Murasakihara's cold tone, her smile was as gentle as ever, but it made Murasakihara very irritable.

This smile again.

She seems to smile like that at everyone.

Won't she be angry?

The girl didn't seem to notice Murasakihara's irritated mood: "Is that so... I'm Rina Juyuan from Team 2, please take care of me."

The girl smiled warmly.

The ice blue eyes are like the calm sea in winter.

Cold but inclusive.

"Ah."

Ziyuan replied softly, he also wanted to say something.

At least say "I remember" to the girl.

But before he could speak, an eager female voice sounded——

"Pear sauce, Mr. Fujiwara is looking for you and asked you to go to her office now, it seems quite urgent."

"I see, Keiko, help me take the suitcase to the activity room of the science department, I'll go there now."

"Well, no problem."

Accompanied by the sound of urging, the girl turned her head and smiled at Ziyuan, and left quickly.

Zi Yuan opened his mouth.

He finally spoke to her.

But he seems to have messed things up.
