[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

Under the agitation of the Maekawa family, Saya can only stay in the mansion of the Hashimoto family during the winter vacation, and cannot go to the Akashi family.Even if Akashi is dissatisfied with this, he can only temporarily compromise. At least the two can still meet outside and will not be separated for too long.

However, when the Winter Cup officially kicked off, Akashi had already devoted all his time to the competition. During the competition, he seldom met Saya.This kind of love life seems normal and peaceful, but on the other hand, there are problems, which people can take advantage of.

In Kagawa, Saya, who couldn’t go to Akashi’s house, used the winter vacation time to intern in the Tokyo branch. Except for occasionally watching Akashi’s games, she worked in the branch most of the time.The business after the New Year is relatively good, and the reservation rate in the store is very high. She often has to close the store with her aunt, and in the process of receiving customers, there are many business celebrities who have business contacts with the Hashimoto family. The guest who should appear, at least according to Saya, she didn't want that person to appear here.

"Excuse me, guest, this is the salt-grilled lionfish you ordered." Keisuke was also a trainee in the store with Saya. As a future family business manager, he was also arrested by his parents to intern at the branch store.It's just that his job is different from Saya's. Saya has already involved in management knowledge, while Jingfu, a rookie, has to learn from the simplest job. Serving food for guests is one of the basic courses.

"Why are you the one serving the food? Where's Miss Hashimoto?"

The guest sitting on the tatami glanced at the dishes on the table, with a disappointed expression on his face. It wasn't that Kagawa's dishes were not good, but that he couldn't see the person he wanted to see. He thought he asked the housekeeper to secretly check the working hours of that person. I came here specially today, just to chat with her, but I couldn't even see her.

"This guest, the little proprietress is busy in the kitchen and is not responsible for serving the dishes."

Jingfu patiently explained to the guests, complaining secretly in his heart, his father said that his cousin was favored by the young master of Kasuga's family, now it seems that it is not false at all.

The young master Kasuga in front of him is really younger than him, and the purpose of coming to Kagawa is for his cousin, but the strange thing is, Master Kasuga likes his cousin, but the housekeeper Kasuga sitting behind him has a look of disgust, as if Kagawa is a Terrible place, didn't want to linger here for a moment.

"Master Zhishu, please finish your dinner as soon as possible. If you go home too late, the master will worry about you." Even if he was scolded, the housekeeper still took the risk to persuade his young master not to expose himself to danger for a girl. middle.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll go home after seeing Ms. Hashimoto." He stopped the butler's chatter in a low voice, and Naoki picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up a small piece of fish and put it into his mouth. Said to Jingfu: "Please tell Ms. Hashimoto, I will wait for her here, please make sure she comes."

"My guest, my cousin is very busy. If you want to order food, I can do it for you." Jingfu took out his small notebook and pen, and prepared to write the menu for Naoki. These small tasks were originally his scope of work. I want to complete it independently, instead of asking my cousin to help him take over.

"Are you Ms. Hashimoto's cousin?" Hearing Keisuke call Saya her cousin, Naoki's attitude improved, and even a smile appeared on his face, "I'm really sorry, I was the one who was rude just now, the little Hashimoto family Master."

Keisuke couldn't help but cold sweat rolled down his face. The heir of the Kasuga family changed his face so quickly. If he hadn't said that he was Saya's cousin, he would have seen his amiable face.Forget it, the visitor is a guest, and after entertaining this person, he will go back to the kitchen to wash the dishes, which is better than looking at other people's faces here.

"Sorry to trouble this guest." When Keisuke tried to entertain Naoki, a familiar female voice came from outside the door, and after a while, the door was opened, and the person Naoki was waiting for walked into the inner room.

"Miss Hashimoto, I finally waited for you to come." Seeing the person he likes appear, Naoki is already very satisfied. Although his father objected to him approaching Saya on the grounds of danger, he still obeyed his heart. Find a chance to come to Kagawa to meet her.

"Master Kasuga, thank you for visiting the Kagawa branch, please go home as soon as possible after eating, and don't worry your father."

Not long after entering the Japanese room, Saya felt the warning gaze cast by Housekeeper Chunri, as if telling her that she was a scourge and disaster, and that his young master would suffer disaster if he approached, and asked her to stay away quickly.Naturally, she would not let the other party down. After finishing her words of persuasion, she got up and walked out of the room, and went back to the lounge in the store to write the menu.

"Wait a minute, Ms. Hashimoto, as a future female general, you should have basic hospitality etiquette. If you put the guests' requests aside, you will insult the brand of the famous shop Kagawa." Naoki knew that Saya would say so indifferently Most likely, his father was secretly putting pressure on her, but this will not reduce his feeling of liking her, on the contrary, that feeling will only get deeper and deeper.

"The work of entertaining guests must be done by competent people. Please forgive me for the loss." The butler sitting behind Naoki almost killed people with useless eyes. Going out of the room, Naoki's words made her stop.

"You don't have to be afraid of the matter at the Maekawa's house, I will protect you, Saya." After hesitating for a moment, Naoki still said that to Saya.

The sudden change of address stunned everyone present, especially the housekeeper, whose eyes almost fell out of surprise. He hastily stepped forward to warn his young master to think twice before acting, and not to casually agree to things that cannot be done .

"Master, please don't say such irresponsible words, the Kasuga family has no obligation to protect the Hashimoto family."

"The housekeeper is right. The Kasuga family is an outsider and shouldn't be involved in the dispute." Saya changed his mind temporarily and sat down at Naoki's table, "Before you said that I lacked etiquette for hospitality , then I will accompany you to the end this time, please go home as soon as possible after dinner, thank you for your cooperation."

In this way, Keisuke's work was taken over by Saya, and she entertained Naoki in the Japanese room from dinner time to closing time.The young master was satisfied, but Saya suffered a long look of white eyes and contempt. Fortunately, Naoki also kept his promise, and left with the butler after dinner, without further entanglement.

Saya was able to breathe a sigh of relief and returned to the lounge to help write the menu, while Jingsuke sent people outside the store instead of her.At this time, a strange gaze stared at the two of them.Although Naoki and Keisuke only had a brief conversation, they still couldn't stop the prying eyes from the dark place. When the car of Kasuga's family left Kagawa, the people hiding in the dark divided into two groups, and at the same time followed the Kasuga family's car. The car, on the other side, stayed where it was, watching the people in the shop.

Several times, when Sha Ye went shopping outside the store, the people hiding in the dark didn't follow her. When her cousin went to take out the garbage outside the store, the watchers approached secretly and hid in the corner to observe secretly. What did they want to do? ?No one knows their purpose.

*****

Kagawa is being monitored by unknown persons, but the Winter Cup is in full swing.Luoshan High School is worthy of being the king in recent years. It did not encounter much resistance in the process of going to the finals. Even though many unexpected things happened in the battle with Xiude, in the end Akashi took control of the overall situation and won the game. .

The final is not far away, and Akashi will also meet the opponent he wants to compete in the game. Therefore, the time for training has become very precious. Apart from rest, how to skillfully use his skills and tactics to win in the game has become Luoshan. We are choosing our current subject.

Today, in the practice gymnasium used by Luoshan, Kotaro, Netaketani, and Lingyang were all sitting on the ground out of breath. the match of.

At first, they thought that Akashi was brazen and deliberately provoked the three of them. Later, after the game was over, they really knew how terrible Akashi was.It also consumed a lot of physical strength, the three of them were sweating profusely, sitting on the ground weakly, but Akashi was still able to dribble and run with plenty of energy, he was really too strong.

"It seems that there should be no problem in actual combat in this state." Throwing the ball in his hand into the big basket containing the ball, Akashi walked to the bench and wanted to get the towel on it, but found a red towel next to it. A box wrapped in a Japanese pattern, is that a bento box?

"By the way, Xiaozheng, Saya came here just now, she left her things and left, and asked me to tell you to practice hard." Lingyang, who sat down to rest, told Akashi what happened outside the gymnasium, curious Looking at the box in his hand, "What did she give you? You look very happy."

"It's nothing, it's just my favorite snack."

Akashi opened the food box and saw that it contained the tofu cake he had eaten on his birthday. Unlike last time, Saya did not forget to add sugar this time, and the sweetness was much stronger than last time.But this time he couldn't meet her, and he felt a little uneasy. In his busy days, is her safety guaranteed? Has the Ji Chuan family sent someone to find fault with her?All these questions can only be answered after the end of the Winter Cup.

"You have been separated for a while, what is that guy doing recently?"

Kotaro's question made Akashi speechless. These days, he only cares about competitions and training, and rarely contacts her.Even if the two had a mobile phone call, they only asked about her physical condition and safety during the conversation, and rarely mentioned other things. He didn't know if he was busy practicing female generals or going shopping with friends. He wanted to feel at ease, and it was necessary to find time to meet her.

While Akashi was thinking about how to get busy with other things without affecting the training, Saya, who was busy in the store, had been dragged out by her middle school friend Akiha Ling.After shopping for most of the day, I came to the okonomiyaki restaurant they used to go to in middle school for dinner.

Although the location of this small store in Ikebukuro, Tokyo is not good, it is very popular, and it is very popular among office workers and students nearby.When Saya was in middle school, this store became a place for her to have dinner with the gymnastics team members. Over time, they also became acquainted with the proprietress.

"Long time no see, lady proprietress, we're here again." Not long after entering the store, Akiba Ling and Sha Ye sat down in their old seats and greeted the lady proprietress warmly.

"Isn't this Ling and Saya?" The proprietress who was finishing the dishes heard Akiba Ling's voice, and came over to chat with them with a smile, "You seldom come to my shop after you graduated from middle school. Ling is better. I will bring my boyfriend here from time to time, Saya, when will you bring your boyfriend here, let me have a look?"

"Miss Boss, don't laugh at me. He's busy competing recently. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely bring him here."

There are fewer and fewer opportunities to meet Akashi, and Saya will inevitably feel a sense of loss in her heart, but thinking about the unknown movements of the Oikawa family, if she gets too close to him, she may implicate him.Therefore, the current situation is the best. For long-term safety, it may be a good way to separate for a while.

"Then it's settled. I'll give you a discount at that time." The proprietress smiled and went to the counter to get the menu, let Saya and Aya order, and she went back to the kitchen to prepare the okonomiyaki ingredients for other guests.
