[Kuroko's Basketball] Warm Red

22

After that, let alone a piece of information, Dashan was absent from departmental activities for three consecutive days.Under the pressure of possibly meeting two people who didn't want to see him at all, Sakura came to the back door of the first group, but Dashan was nowhere to be seen.

She has never had much contact with Dashan, and she doesn't need it, and with Dashan's personality, even if he is appointed as the deputy minister, it is impossible for him to appear in the club every day, on time.But this time it happened right after he went home, so it couldn't be a coincidence.

"Sakura-san."

The one who should come can't escape.

Alarm bells were ringing in Sakura's heart, she thought to herself that if she couldn't solve Akiichi's matter, let's solve the other matter first, so she turned around, "Ono-kun, do you have time to talk a little bit?"

"Ono-kun, I'm very happy about your kindness, but I'm sorry."

She thought that what Akashi said was right, as soon as the puberty turmoil could be contained, he would be strangled to death in the cradle.She also doesn't want to be teased all day long. Being in the middle of the topic doesn't feel good, and there will be a burden. It's better to make it clear from the beginning, even if it may hurt others.

"It's okay, Sakura, you don't have to apologize so solemnly."

What's more, she has someone she likes, not Ono.

In fact, she once had the idea that she could try it. It's not that Xiao Ye is bad, on the contrary, he has a sunny and positive personality from the sports department, and he is so shy emotionally that it can make people's hearts jump.Even if she doesn't like him, this kind of interaction without pushing too much may seem normal and irresponsible at this age.

But she can't seem to lie to herself. With someone in her heart, she can hide and continue to put on a fake smile at the other person, and then get in pairs, and even get in close contact.

Fortunately, I didn't take that step.Sakura stopped suddenly, breathed a sigh of relief, and was afraid of the moment of hesitation and consideration when he almost stepped into the wrong abyss.

"If you want to find Dashan, he is absent."

The cold voice came out suddenly, and Sakura backed up a few steps in fright with a wow, only then could she see Akashi's appearance clearly from the distance she retreated.

Isn't it looking for Dashan?Akashi was puzzled by her reaction, he looked at his class card again, and made sure that Sakura had come to the wrong place, and she had indeed deliberated many times from side to side in the past few days.

Logically speaking, this is also the purpose now, so he simply told her the answer without waiting for her to change her mind.

But for Sakura, the embarrassment of meeting Akashi face-to-face after a school leave trip always felt more complicated.What's more, Akashi is usually taciturn, and it's a bit weird that a face that was almost frozen suddenly appeared in front of him and spoke to him.

The Akashi who seemed to be her in the world that day was quite different from the Akashi in school, which made her dare not touch the complicated feelings that still remained in her heart.

She moved back towards her class, ready to retreat at any time.

"Am I so scary?" Akashi took a few steps forward and approached, his eyes fixed on Sakura with a delicate expression. He suddenly remembered that she had the same reaction in the beginning of junior high school.

"No..." she said shyly, her eyes secretly turned to their classroom, "Zhang Yi he..."

"You don't know? He has been absent for a week. It is said that there is something at home."

How is it possible to know this, Sakura twitched the corner of her mouth.The relationship between her and Zhang Yi has never been connected by mobile phone, and she can't imagine that scene. She has always been too lazy to care if he doesn't talk about it.Anyway, the casual attitude towards archery is not a matter of a day or two, and he has been familiar with it since the first grade.

"Thank you, thank you for your explanation." Sakura dryly thanked him very cautiously, but instead attracted Akashi's strange gaze.

"The relationship between you is a bit delicate."

What did this man say!The relationship between your own departments is delicate, right?As if stepped on, Sakura glared at him, walked back to her class to retort to Akashi, and closed the classroom door.

"I don't want to be lectured by people from your basketball club!"

A gust of wind blew the hair on his forehead. Akashi, who was shut out with a slam, didn't change his expression. Instead, he closed his red eyes leisurely, as if he was puzzled by Sakura's sudden temper. He thought for a while No conclusion can be drawn.

Suddenly a sneer came into Akashi's ears, he turned around with a paralyzed face and stared at the person whose face was getting darker and darker, he covered his mouth and laughed, his expression made Akashi want to find something nearby to throw at him.

"I seem to have seen something incredible."

There were times when Akashi was shut down, but the frightening thing was that Akashi didn't lose his temper.

Although Akashi thinks that his personality is not so bad.

"Dahui."

Facing Akashi's eyes that were staring at him, Aomine was fearless.

"What's the matter, you like that type?"

Akashi rolled his eyes, "It's better than you, put away your books, you hid the book in the wrong place before."

? ? ?Aomine immediately frowned, pointed at him with his finger up and roared, "So it was you! The one who handed over my little erotic book to the coach is you bastard Akashi!"

Akashi smiled contemptuously, passed him and left, leaving his back behind, "It's not good for you to hide somewhere, that's my cabinet, idiot. Also, the game cheered me up, and I know your other secret bases."

Contest?

As a result, Aomine's running figure stood out more than anyone else in the sports meeting, but perhaps his skin color stood out more than his speed.

It is to cheer you up for the national competition, not the school sports meeting!The hopeless fool!Akashi was speechless.

The previous few sports games are not good memories, Sakura always has the fighting spirit to win in such messy times, especially in the sports games where she has no chance in the past, she has to win a round.

Sakura, a first-year student, was still in a state of displeasure looking at Dashan. The wind and shadow of Akashi running on the runway was very eye-catching. He was not panting or sweating. The handsome face on the runway under the sun is particularly abrupt, not to mention the abrupt ranking.

Akashi and Dashan were both the last baton in the relay race. Akashi was very fast, and he was still a few meters away from the leading Dashan. Sakura waved his hand excitedly in the audience and almost threw the baton in his hand.

"Akashi! You beat that bastard Oyama!!"

Akashi walked over with the champion's flag in high spirits, with a calm expression as if they should have won the league championship in basketball, but handed over the flag and made her run and hang around in front of Dashan in a blink of an eye.

Later, she realized that she and Dashan belonged to the same department, so in the second grade, she desperately yelled in reverse.

"Akiichi!!! Give the people in the basketball club some color!"

Then Akashi, who won the championship and returned to the team, rolled his eyes to the sky, "Sakura, we are in the same class."

At that time, Akashi was approaching step by step with the red flag of victory, Sakura was so frightened by the aura that she almost thought that Akashi was going to stick the flag on her head, and she winked and apologized for mistakenly cheering.

In the third grade, neither Akashi nor Akiichi were in the same class as her, and they were in the same class even after Feng Shui took turns.Sakura looked at Midorima beside her, and asked in embarrassment, "Who should I cheer for?"

"Ghost knows."

So she could only fight in person, she pressed the muscles of her legs on the relay track, so as not to die, the person next to her was actually Akashi, compared with his laid-back appearance, Sakura was full of energy.

Akashi's indifferent face seemed to ignore the victory and defeat, he stood casually in the queue, as if Sakura was the most passionate at this time.

"By the way... isn't that Aomine-kun of yours too fast???"

It was for his Mai-chan, Akashi didn't speak.

Sakura turned her head and stared at Midorima who was sitting in the auditorium with a face of indifference to other things, she gritted her teeth angrily, "Midorima! Why don't you play in the basketball club!!"

"Morning divination Cancer is not easy to exercise today."

"So didn't you bring a lucky item?!"

"Are you asking me to carry this doll into the relay? That's impossible."

Midorima who lost the chain at this critical moment, bastard.Sakura cursed secretly.

"But I'm sorry Akashi, this time the competition must be our team."

Silently evaluated the distance between the next two teams, and looked at the comparison of physical data between himself and Sakura, as well as the difference in strength between the two classes in the last team. Even if there are some errors, it is possible to draw a conclusion .

Akashi silently faced Sakura's self-reliant flag's speech, seeing that she was rarely motivated to fight, so he let her be happy with her, and did not refute.

Sakura took the baton first, and ran after the leader of Aomine's group. The laces of the white sneakers under her slender legs were undulating. Catch up in a moment.

She seemed to be exerting too much force, panting with her head bowed on her knees, and a drop of sweat fell down her chin.Sakura frowned, and it took him a long time to calm down, making up his mind to raise his head.

Dashan moved the props to the warehouse of the gymnasium. He bent down to put down the cardboard box, and lightly clasped his knuckles at the door. The sound made Dashan turn his body slightly, his deep black eyes shining faintly in the darkness.

"Should you give me some explanation?"

"If you want me to say no."

Her long chestnut hair was tied back, and under the fluffy curls, her face was still sweaty, but her expression was serious.Sakura was standing at the door, staring at his lazy figure, her brows furrowed.

"I heard from Akashi that something is wrong with your family? Could it be the teacher..."

"Kuri Na." Dashan interrupted, and he walked towards her, with a complicated forbearance on his face, this was the first time Sakura saw him like this.

"When the time comes, I will be removed from the game."

"What did you say..."

Dashan repeated again, his low voice was terrifying, "Listen well, don't hesitate at that time, kick me out, you are the minister."

Dashan passed her and left, Sakura didn't react, he didn't understand why, "Akiichi, you haven't answered me yet!"

Sakura stomped her feet, her clenched teeth trembling.

"Basically, Dashan has not come to class."

Of course she does.She made him stop, and he didn't stop at all.

Sakura didn't stop drinking the soup, she lazily raised her eyelids, glanced at Akashi who put down the plate and sat down naturally opposite her, said in an unhappy tone, "What are you doing here?"

"It seems that you are not in a good mood. Is it because I am still Dashan?" Akashi never needed to explain his motives, but what he said was very straightforward.

As soon as Sakura heard that she was upset, it was a coincidence that Akashi bumped into the muzzle of the gun by herself. She put down the spoon and made a crisp sound when it hit the table, her eyes swept over sharply.

"Of course it's because you mentioned Shoichi's name in front of me, Akashi-kun."

Akashi lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Is it both?"

Seeing that Akashi doesn't mind his temper, his tone is still so gentle and polite that no loopholes can be found, making it impossible for Sakura to make things difficult anymore, like a small hole being poked open in an inflated balloon, no matter how big the anger is, it will slowly vent Next, Sakura accepted Akashi's approach.

"Since you've sat down, let's eat quietly."

"I'm not used to it. It's so rare for you to say such words, Kurina."

"No way." Sakura glared at him, then kicked him under the table to make him shut up.

It seems to be really angry, after all, the strength is not small.

Akashi endured it silently, and deeply felt the intensification of Sakura's rise from verbal violence to physical violence. Watching her heavily fry the pork chops with a fork, then cut them open with a knife, and stuffed them into her mouth, the whole action was full of excitement. anger.

Stupid Zhang Yi, if you have the ability, never show up!

Dashan really never appeared again, and there were only a few times when he received a notice from Akashi in the middle of the mid-term exam, and a few simple katakana were displayed on the notification page of the mobile phone, and Dashan came.Sakura first felt that this kind of visual sense of reporting was very strange, but the long-term relationship made her not go to their class to find Dashan.

What he said that day was very clear, and Sakura would not bother to come to any conclusion.Since Dashan has a reason for not telling her, it doesn't mean that she won't get it from other places, even if she still gets nothing.

Her orange eyes moved to the indifferent face beside her, she simply stopped and asked directly, "Why do you always walk with me? You're not in the same class."

Whether it is the same class or the class next door, there is not much difference.

Akashi's expression remained motionless, he looked ahead, and his tone was reasonable and concise, "Isn't this what you have been stubborn about, I just let the situation go back to the way it was before."

You used to walk together a lot, so now you're always by her side? ?

Serious nonsense!

What kind of way is this going back to the past?Sakura stared at his round orange eyes that could freeze a person into ice without speaking, she was devastated.

"You don't like me walking next to you?"

Sakura's ears turned red all of a sudden, how could she answer this!

"You don't answer me as if you like it?"

what do you like? ?

"Please go quickly." Sakura wished that he would disappear quickly, pushed him in when he reached the back door of the first group, closed the door by the way, and ran away in a hurry.

Akashi didn't react for a while, his expressionless face went blank for a moment, he turned his head to look at the back door that had been closed long ago, feeling like he was being pushed away by Sakura again.

It seems to be somewhat different from what I expected, what is wrong?Akashi was lost in thought.

"Hey, was that guy Akashi such a talking character before? Someone else set it up!"

"He's so smart, who else would pretend to be an idiot!"

"Fengzi, you don't understand, this is called ulterior motives."

"...The idiom is wrong! Why do I have to hide with you, it's too shameful!"

"Don't you still enjoy peeping behind the wall?"

"...!!! Don't suddenly appear, Ah Zhe, you're going to scare me to death!!!"

"I've always been there, thank you. Instead of sticking together here, you should go to the gym more after school."

However, Akashi's information really deepened the authenticity of Dashan's instructions that day. Sakura counted the days, and it was less than half a month before the last national bow competition in junior high school. Let alone the competition, even the school almost stopped attending There must be a special reason for Dashan to be different from usual.

But now compared to such personal reasons, Sakura, as a minister, must continue to maintain the entire department.What Zhang Yi said was right, she was the minister, and even if a deputy minister was missing, she couldn't have too much influence on the entire department.

She quickly drew up a list of appearances with the core members and successors. Of course, there will be no name of Shoichi Oyama on it.With the loss of a trump card, everyone felt more or less uneasy. Sakura pointed out that this kind of dependence is an expression of extremely low self-confidence. For the sake of the growth of the younger generation in the coming year, Zhang Yi's existence should not shake them.

As soon as the list came out, almost half of the team competitions were second-year juniors.

Of course, the result of the competition was quite satisfactory. Sakura didn't feel regretful. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the existence of Shoichi. It seemed that the duties entrusted to her by Minister Hayakawa had finally been completed. She seemed to understand why Hayakawa wanted to The reason why Akiichi was appointed as deputy minister.

Not everyone is like her, and it is quite normal that people see things differently.What she has to do is not to turn the minds of several forked paths into the same path, but to make them look straight at the same arena even so.

But she insisted that if there was a second time, she would not be a minister anymore.

As a minister, Sakura must exclude Akiichi from the competition list, but Sakura, who is not a minister, can rush to Akiichi to question without hesitation, or even give up the competition.

A figure beside her sat down next to her, covering most of the sunlight for her.

"You've done a good job."

She was depressed, sitting on the steps of the roof, her back drooping deeply, and the sunlight shining on the ground in front of her feet through the fallen hair was hazy and white.

"Thank you, Akashi-kun."

Akashi handed over the green tea, following the slender lines of his arms, the water droplets on the bottle reflected light on the roof.

When the wind blew, Sakura's chestnut curly hair was lifted, brushed his arm, and flew to one side along with his tie.

"Planning to retire?" Akashi asked quietly.

"Um."

She unscrewed the bottle silently, her voice was lifeless, Akashi heard her feeble response, knowing that her emotions were still not calm, he pursed his lips, slightly raised his head to look at the dazzlingly bright sky.

He thought that at this time, Sakura might want to digest his emotions alone, but as long as her thin back and falling orange eyes appeared, Akashi still chose to sit beside her.

He didn't talk much himself, waiting for her to speak and waiting, Sakura fell asleep leaning against the wall, Akashi watched her sleep with brows and eyes stretched, and began to wonder what he was doing for a moment.

He stared at her quiet face while doubting, and raised his eyes again to look at the vastness of the roof through the fence, that chuckle disappeared in the faint noise of the campus.

"Kurina, it's time for class."

"It feels like you are always by my side, Akashi-kun."

Akashi didn't deny it, "I mean it."
