[Black Basket] On the Victory of the Emperor

04: Alex

"Master, young master, it's raining outside now, young master, he..."

Akashi's grandfather's butler broke the silence of the room.

"Shh-"

Akashi Fukuro stood up from his seat.

"Fu Jiulang, sit down."

Akashi's grandfather also stood up, and he walked to the window. The butler immediately understood, and stepped forward to open the thick curtains that covered the floor-to-ceiling windows and had a certain sound-proof effect.

It’s not the usual sunlight entering the room, but the sound of rain getting louder and louder. The raindrops hit the glass, and the rain is getting heavier. The sky that was clear and clear a second ago has been covered by lead gray clouds. Cover up.

Akashi Fukuro did not do so, he looked at the scenery outside the window with worry in his eyes.Akashi, who was spoiled by him invisibly, has never been exposed to the rain, if something happens to Akashi at this time...

"Father, I'm going to find Seijuro."

"I tell you to sit down."

This old man in his seventies has not lost the slightest bit of aura due to aging, but has honed in time to become more intimidating.

However, Akashi Fukuro did not obey.This rare submissive head of the Akashi family disobeyed his father in a rare way at this time.

"Father, this concerns Seijuro's health and safety!"

No one can predict how many dangers there are in the forest, especially in this bad weather.

Akashi's grandfather turned around. He looked at Akashi Fukuro with the same red eyes as before, with a flash of relief in his eyes, but he still didn't change his mind.

"You should send Seijuro to hone, don't forget, he is the heir of the Akashi family, and you are the head of the Akashi family!"

"But I'm also Seijuro's father."

With red eyes facing each other, Akashi Fukuro seems to be contradicting his father for the first time.

After Akashi Fukuro finished speaking, he insisted on leaving without waiting for Akashi's grandfather to say anything, and Akashi's grandfather did not send anyone to stop him.

"Master, you must be very pleased."

"Hmph, the guy who goes against my will, even his son will have to die."

"But master, you have been talking about it all the time, saying that as a rebel, your son shouldn't be so obedient."

"...You heard it wrong!"

"But you are obviously smiling."

"...You read it wrong!!"

"Then your..."

"To shut up!"

"Yes."

There was an unstoppable smile on the butler's lips.

"People from the Akashi family should look like the Akashi family. In this regard, I am afraid that Seijuro will do better than Fukuro..."

"The young master's talent is very high."

"Of course, it doesn't matter whose grandson he is."

Grandfather Akashi straightened his back.

***

It was raining, Akashi felt the rain for the first time, besides being curious, he also did not forget to find a shelter for himself immediately.

But acquiescing to his identity as a child left behind with his brother and dog, Akashi was guided by the citizens all the way to this place where there are no residential buildings around.

The only building is also a dilapidated place that looks like a school.

For the sake of his health, Akashi frowned slightly and walked into this dilapidated campus.

R Academy.

This is the word Akashi saw from the corroded part of the sign at the entrance of the academy.

The long-abandoned campus can be called ruins.Most of the windows of the school building have been broken, and most of the walls have been mottled and peeled off.The rest is also covered by creepers, and it is completely impossible to imagine what kind of school it used to be.

Akashi found a way to enter the campus. It was through a gap in the wall, where there was a hole big enough for a child to pass through. Although it was blocked by a net, Akashi could easily open it with a branch.

Akashi hid in the school building to avoid the rain, when he was arranging his soaked clothes and the hair sticking to his scalp, he suddenly felt something tugging at his trousers again.

"Alex?"

The golden retriever raised its head after hearing the little master's call, its wet fur made it look a little embarrassed, and it licked Akashi's palm wet from the rain.

"I hate disobedient dogs."

"Hey..."

The golden retriever seemed to be hit, it circled around Akashi twice, and finally it suddenly bit the corner of Akashi's clothes and pulled it in a certain direction.

"What are you doing!"

Akashi felt that Alex's behavior was a bit abnormal.

"Wow, woof woof—"

Alex let go, ran to the front of Akashi, yelled twice, then ran forward a few steps, and looked back at Akashi again.

"Where do you want me to go with you?"

Akashi hesitated and followed. Although Alex ran out disobediently, Alex is a very smart dog. There must be some important reason for him to do so.

In the dark school building, the only thing in front of me was the corridor that stretched infinitely to the left and right, and there were lockers lined up in the corridor, all with their doors open.

"that is……"

While following Alex to an unknown direction, Akashi, passing by those lockers, suddenly saw a mountaineering bag with sharp eyes.

It contained used towels and some food, and the towels were still wet. Akashi deduced that the owner of the bag should still be in this R Academy or had just left.

Thinking of the two brothers who had a good relationship and heard about Alex along the way, Akashi immediately understood why Alex did this.

Alex saw Akashi stop, thinking that he was unwilling to go with it, it was spinning around anxiously, and finally Akashi stopped him from turning himself unconscious.

"Let's go, don't you want me to find someone?"

Akashi said calmly.

"Wang-"

Alex barked loudly and cheerfully, and he started to run, following the scent to a certain direction.Akashi followed closely behind.

Alex didn't stop until he reached what looked like a sports warehouse.

"Is it in here?"

Akashi looked at the building in front of him. A broken door lock was hung on the door. The door had been opened by someone. The inside looked extremely dark, and a musty smell came over his face.

"Wang-"

Alex nodded humanly.

"Alex?"

A youthful voice sounded in the dark warehouse, and then, a beam of flashlight shone from inside.

"Tiger?"

After hearing Alex's voice, Iceburo thought it was Vulcan who had returned, but that person seemed to be shorter than Vulcan, and Iceuro felt a little uncertain.

With the light of the flashlight, Akashi was able to see the source of the sound clearly.

Ice Room's right leg stepped on the corroded wooden floor, which caused the wooden floor to collapse, and his right leg also sank, as if he couldn't help it.

Akashi took a step forward and stepped on the wooden floor of the gymnasium, and the floor suddenly creaked and screamed.

Akashi stopped in his tracks.

"I am Akashi Seijuro, Alex's master, and I came here to find him."

Hearing that he was the master of Alex, Bingshi, the mastermind who kidnapped Alex, suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he apologized awkwardly,

"Sorry, we took Alex away without permission..."

"No, it doesn't matter."

Akashi took a few steps forward tentatively, avoiding some places that were equally corrupted,

"I think you need help right now."

"Don't come over, or you'll fall too."

Seeing that Akashi was approaching him, Himuro hurriedly stopped him.

"I'll be fine."

Akashi again carefully avoided the place where his feet were about to collapse.

In the end, as Akashi said, he really arrived at Himuro's side safe and sound.

Compared with Vulcan's red and black, the rose red hair color is more gorgeous. Due to the effect of rain, it quietly sticks to the white and jade cheeks. The exquisite face and demeanor, as well as Alex's good upbringing, Ice Room is sure The young man named Akashi Seijuro in front of him must not be an ordinary person.

"It's too dangerous here, you'd better go out."

Ice room said worriedly.

"No, it was close. Give me your flashlight, please."

Akashi crouched down, tapping his fingers lightly on the nearby floor.

"...Uh, okay."

Himuro handed the flashlight to Akashi.

After receiving it, Akashi turned off the switch, and then used the heavy tail of the flashlight to hit the floor beyond the punch on Iceburo's right leg.

Because Akashi chose the place on purpose, Akashi used a flashlight to break a hole the size of two or three fists on the corroded board within a few strokes.

Then, Akashi bit by bit broke the wooden board that was the distance from the last punch, carefully keeping the debris of the wooden board from hurting the ice room as much as possible.

Himuro immediately guessed Akashi's intention, he smiled at Akashi,

"Thank you Akashi-kun, I am Himuro Tatsuya."

Akashi's hand paused, then continued beating,

"Stay well."

Bingshi nodded, he supported another place and cautiously shifted his body weight to the place supported by his palm.

Seeing that the ice room was ready, Akashi cracked the last bits of wood.

Himuro was rescued by Akashi.

"Akashi-kun, thank you!"

"You've said it already."

Akashi helped Himuru whose right leg was injured, and said, "This is a gift in return for thanking you for taking care of Alex."

"what."

The ice room was noncommittal.

When the two children walked towards the door with their arms, a graceful figure suddenly appeared at the door.

"Alex!"

Ice Room called out after seeing it clearly.

Hearing this name, Akashi was puzzled for a moment, and then guessed that it was the same name.

"You two stupid apprentices!"

Behind Alex was a boy with red and black hair, that was Vulcan who passed out in the gymnasium.

"Is Tiger all right?"

Ice room asked with concern.

"The kid just fainted from fright, nothing happened."

Alex then said, "What happened to your leg?"

"I was stuck in the floor before, thanks to Akashi-kun who rescued me."

"Akashi-kun?"

Alex looked at Akashi, she hadn't heard that Kagami and Himuro had met new friends.

"Hi, I'm Akashi Seijuro, and I came here looking for my lost dog."

Alex echoed Akashi's words and ran around the crowd, not forgetting to call a few times to show his presence.

"Anyway, go to my car first. Chenya's wound needs to be treated."

Facing the cute young lady Akashi, Alex, who has a kissing habit, wanted to kiss him, but the current situation did not allow it.

"it is good."

Akashi nodded, and she helped Alex transport the unconscious Kagami and injured Iceroom to the car.
