[Black Basket] Me and you

Why does he have the key to this room!

After hearing Tsukiyama Tomoaki's questioning, Ziyuan subconsciously looked at his hand. His hand was still in the movement of opening the door just now, and the key to open the door hadn't been pulled out yet.

He tilted his head with a "huh" and pulled the key out of the lock, then looked left and right.

This key was given to him by Gedai at the beginning, because she said it would be inconvenient without the key, so she gave him the spare key. He forgot to return it in a hurry when he left last time, so that now he mistakenly takes the key of 302 as his apartment key key.

At that time, Murasakihara didn't notice at all, he was standing directly at the door of Utayo's house, he looked like he was still living in Utao, and skillfully took out the key to open the door, only to find that he went to the wrong door.

Utayo naturally knew that the key in Murasakihara's hand was given by her, but she dared not say it.

——Brother is a very shrewd person, even if it is a small flaw, he can see the clues. If he knows that Ziyuan-kun has lived here, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking like this, she began to think about how to solve the problem in front of her. When she was in a mess and couldn't think of a solution, Murasakihara spoke, and Utayo looked at him after hearing his voice.

Murasakihara still looks like a general who is not asleep, even when facing Zhiming's sharp eyes like a Swiss army knife, his reaction is no different from usual.He shook the key in his hand, bent slightly and lifted her up to Gedai, "Xiao Ge, I saw that you forgot to pull out the key."

what--

A trace of doubt flashed in the amber eyes, and it took a while to realize that Ziyuan was helping her out.

She raised her hand to take the key, "Mr. Ziyuan, thank you..."

Murasakibara smiled and reached out to touch her hair habitually, just as he raised his hand, he realized that Utayo's brother was present, then took it back, and straightened his waist.He was facing the face of Shangyueshan Zhiming, nodded at the unfriendly Nissan-sama and left.

Zhiming looked at the closed door with a gloomy face, he didn't know why he didn't think it was as simple as that kid coming to return the key.

"Godedai..."

Gedai was staring at the key in his hand in a daze, and was startled when he heard his voice, and hid his hand behind him reflexively.

Tsukiyama Tomoaki stared at her for a while, not understanding the meaning of her action.

"What's wrong brother?"

He came back to his senses, "It's nothing, I just want to ask your kid, does he also live in this apartment?"

Utayo nodded, and the next second she saw Zhiming's face was very ugly.

Not just classmates or neighbors?

From the look on his face, Koyo knew what he wanted to say.

"Don't say things like asking me to go back to Tokyo, I won't agree."

"Then change to a place to live..." Just stay away from that man.

"I've had a good time here."

"But……"

He refused to let go, and Utayo sighed helplessly, "Brother, I am no longer a child! Have you forgotten that you promised me that I can do things as I wish during the three years of high school?"

"but……"

If this will lose you...

"It's okay." She held Zhiming's hand, "No matter where I go, I won't leave my brother alone."

This is the agreement between them and her promise.

——I won’t let my brother bear the pain of parting from his relatives again.

She didn't know what kind of mood Zhiming had in front of her hospital bed at the time. The life and death of the only sister whose parents had passed away was uncertain. She was uncharacteristically excited when she woke up.

His elder brother hid his great sorrow and eagerly hoped that her ineffective younger sister would wake up, so she decided at that time that she would not leave her elder brother alone.But maybe it was because the fear that he was about to lose the only remaining relative at that time was too deep, and his concern for her was a bit too much, which was also a thing that troubled her quite a lot.

Although the plan was to stay at Utayo's side for one night, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Tsukiyama Tomoaki left in a hurry after receiving a call from the company, leaving Utayo staring at the suddenly vacant room in a daze.

The following days were very peaceful, spent in what can only be called boring time in Utayo's opinion.She still sleeps in class, fights with Sakata when class is over, and borrows a notebook to hug her feet before the exam... It seems that life is no different from before.The only difference is that whenever she returns to the apartment, that tall figure is no longer seen in the room.That feeling of loss finally gradually faded with the passage of time, and just when she was about to get used to the absence of Zi Yuan in her life, something broke her relatively peaceful life so far.

It happened in a physical education class, because apart from running, other sports have always been unqualified. Ge Dai was practicing volleyball in order to face the next volleyball exam.Just as she brushed past the volleyball again and rubbed her reddened arm, she was stopped by the teacher when she was about to go to the faucet for a flush.

The physical education teacher of the first grade is Masako Araki, the coach of the basketball team. She still had a slumped face and made the stopped Utayo think that she had done something wrong, and became stiff in an instant.

"Ara, Araki-sensei..."

Araki frowned, she knew she was timid, but she didn't expect this to scare her.So she softened the lines on her face, "Are you free this weekend?"

"Ok?"

I don't know why she asked such a question, but Utayo answered her question honestly, "I'm free."

This answer seemed to satisfy Araki, and she nodded.

"There will be a game in the basketball department next week. I plan to train them intensively this week."

Koyo listened quietly.

"The venue and accommodation have been decided, but we still have one less person to help with logistics. If possible..."

Speaking of this, Utayo already understood what she meant, Mr. Araki was asking her for help.

Utayo is the type of person that I can't bear to refuse if someone wants something from me, not to mention that she promised to help as long as she can.

"The so-called logistics work is..."

"Just make a training log for the day and three meals a day."

It sounds simple enough.

So she smiled, "If everyone doesn't think that the food I cook is not to your liking, then I will help you with this."

The expression on Araki's face didn't change much, obviously this ending was already in her expectation.

"Don't worry, as long as the food can fill your stomach, it's fine. Besides..." No matter how unpalatable your cooking is, someone will eat it all.

Araki silently glanced at Utayo and then turned to Murasakihara who blocked a spike in front of the net.

Well, this co-camp was originally prepared for him.

Recently, Murasakihara's spirit is not very good, and his concentration is not concentrated. Although the phenomenon of cockroaches has eased, it is better not to come this obviously out of state.This abnormal behavior has been going on for a while, and everyone is guessing what happened to Zi Yuan, and then a person's words make everyone suddenly realize.

——Could it be that Ziyuan is making a fuss, because Tsukiyama-san hasn't been looking for him recently.

Because he was in the same class as Murasakihara and the others, Hirakawa could easily guess the crux of the matter.

——It turned out that the young couple had a problem [No! 】

Murasakihara is the trump card of their basketball team. Although they are usually lazy, they will chatter a few words, but it doesn't matter, but now it's an IH game. He is definitely not suitable to play in this state, so Araki arranged this for him to change his mood. The second co-settling.

The location of the camp was in an old forest deep in the mountains. After living in the city for a long time, everyone was a little unaccustomed to seeing such a quiet place. They didn't move their luggage into it until Araki called out.The homestay they were going to stay in was halfway up the mountain, and they had to climb up by themselves if they couldn't get up by the car.

Utayo didn't bring anything other than some necessities when he went out this time, and his luggage was only a small backpack.It was because he was a girl, and this class of men in the basketball club, who are usually big and thick, rarely had cute girls rushing to show off in front of her.

Although Utayo has stated more than once that she can do it herself, a small backpack doesn't weigh much, and those people are still relentlessly by her side, it seems that they won't leave if she doesn't give them the bag.

Utayo looked at the enthusiastic and over-zealous basketball team members in front of him with some distress, wondering if she should just hand over the bag like this.

Just when she was thinking about who she should give it to so that they would not have a dispute, she suddenly stretched out a hand from the side, almost snatching Gedai's backpack.

Huh?

"Zi, Ziyuan!" They took a step back when they saw the person coming, "What! So you are here!"

They originally wanted to show off because they saw that he was not in Utayo and was singled out.

Murasakihara lowered his eyes, glanced at them expressionlessly but ignored them.

He put Gedai's bag behind his back and said to Gedai, "Little Ge, let's go."

Utayo hesitated for a moment before following, "...um...oh!"

—— Murasakihara-kun seemed very angry.

Utayo followed behind Murasakihara and carefully looked at Murasakihara who was walking in front of her.

It's been this expression since we gathered this morning, doesn't Ziyuan-kun want to see her?

Although they have met recently, they have rarely communicated, as if the previous friendship was her dream alone, and the relationship between her and him was like returning to the middle school era.No, it will probably be better, before Ziyuan-kun knew that she was still there.So when Teacher Araki asked her for help, she was actually a little selfish. If she agreed, would it mean that she could get along well with Murasakihara-kun again.

She was so excited that she didn't sleep all night, but what she didn't expect was that when she boarded the waiting bus at the meeting place, Ziyuan just glanced at her and turned her head to look out the window.Araki arranged her a seat next to Murasakihara, and she called out "Mr. Murasakihara", but Murasakihara didn't even look back.She was stunned for a moment and felt that her nose was sore, and then she sat obediently without saying a word.She fell asleep after not sleeping all night. When she woke up, everyone got out of the car one after another. She was the last one. As a result, the scene above appeared when she got out of the car.

She lowered her eyes and used her eyelashes to hide the loss in her eyes, and her pace gradually slowed down.

Her physical strength is not good, and mountain climbing is not suitable for her. Within 10 minutes, she was panting and sweating profusely. She wanted to drink a sip of water, but when she touched it, she realized that the water was in the bag and wrapped it on Ziyuan's back. .Only then did she think of Mr. Ziyuan who was walking in front, but when she looked up, there was no figure of Ziyuan in front of her, and there was no one behind her.

——Has she fallen behind so much before she knew it?

She took a breath and walked forward for a certain distance, but she still didn't see a single figure, she was a little panicked.

Alone and surrounded by unfamiliar environments, although it was still daytime, she still couldn't help thinking about it.There was a rustling sound from around, and she immediately thought of those not-so-good things, and her scalp became numb and her heart hung up.

The grass from which the voice came moved, as if something was walking towards her, her heart suddenly reached her throat, she stared at that direction without blinking and at the same time retreated her feet...

The thing moved very quickly, and before she had time to escape, it had already jumped out of the grass and rushed towards Gedai's face.

All she saw was a black figure rushing towards her, and she screamed in fright, trying to hide behind her body.But she forgot that behind her was one step after another, and she immediately lost her balance when she stepped back.

She stared wide-eyed at the sky covered by an unknown tree. At that moment, she forgot to speak, forgot to call for help, and her hand stretched forward seemed to want to grab something, but she didn't grab anything in the end.

Today's sky is extremely bright, even if it is blocked by the branches, she can still see the clear blue.This was the last scene she saw after falling down the steps, followed by overwhelming pain and boundless darkness.
