[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

Masao Nakamura, who was commissioned to investigate, quickly heard back if he wanted to know whether the burglary at Luoshan High School was related to the Ando family.On the day when the sneak shooting madness was arrested, Akashi Shunji in Tokyo heard a summary of the incident from the phone of Masao Nakamura. He just laughed it off and didn't pay attention to the attempts of the Ando family and the Oikawa family, but this time The matter also involved the heir of the Hashimoto family. For the sake of the safety of the two young people, he still called the old head of the Hashimoto family.

As a result, Saya, who was far away in Kyoto, was sent to Akashi’s house by two tall bodyguards in black in the early morning of the weekend. This time, Ruth was still accompanying her. The internal organs were injured, so he was discharged from the hospital after two days of observation in the pet hospital.Now that her good partner is alive and kicking by her side, it is the most gratifying thing for her.

"Welcome back, Miss Saya, I'll help you get the salute."

After standing in the main house of the Akashi family for less than a minute, Masao Nakamura came out to greet her with the deacons. This scene immediately shocked Saya. She was at most a temporary guest, so there was no need to come out to pick her up with such a grand pomp. .

"That's too much trouble for you. I can take the salute myself. It's not heavy." Saya thinks it's inappropriate to ask the elders to do rough work for her. In Hashimoto's house, there is no distinction between master and servant. The old gardener and his wife in the family eat hot pot together and chat about their daily routines. She also often helps the old housekeeper wash and cook. Now when she comes to Akashi's house, the situation is reversed, which makes her a little uncomfortable.

"Miss Saya, this is my job, and you will get used to it in the future." Taking the salute from Saya's hand with a smile, Masao Nakamura said to the other deacons: "Put Miss Hashimoto's salute at the door on the third floor. , by the way, help Ruth and Jack prepare the cushions and blankets, they will use them tonight."

"Yes, Mr. Nakamura, we will do it right away."

Seeing that the male deacons in the mansion were all busy going to work, Saya was a little bit sorry. Adhering to her grandmother's teaching, she decided to help Masao Nakamura handle the chores in the mansion.

"Mr. Nakamura, you seem to be busy, can I help you if I can?"

Masao Nakamura was taken aback by Saya's proposal, and it took him a while to reply before he said to her: "Miss Saya is the president's guest, I can't make you tired, if you really want to help, I can trouble you to help." Shall I go to make breakfast? Today's manpower is a little short, I will let other deacons deliver the work clothes to your room, so that your original clothes will not be stained."

"Then trouble you."

Unaware of Masao Nakamura's secret arrangement, Saya readily took over the job of making breakfast. It wasn't until she saw the so-called work uniform that she suddenly realized that she had been designed.

Maid?In the room on the third floor, she changed into the clothes sent by Masao Nakamura. Saya had the illusion of returning to the Comic Con to play the role of a maid, but this suit is a traditional maid outfit, a knee-length black one-piece dress with white lotus leaves The apron with the side, the simple style is much better than the short and fancy dress in the exhibition, at least it is very convenient to work.

Tie up her long black hair with a maid's turban. After changing her clothes, Saya walked out of the room and went to the kitchen on the first floor to help make breakfast. The chef who is usually in charge of cooking meals has already taken his assistants on vacation according to Masao Nakamura's temporary arrangement. For a long time, the kitchen was emptied out.

"Miss Shaye is going to have a Western-style breakfast today?"

Saya, who was looking for good ingredients, suddenly stopped. She looked at Masao Nakamura who was checking the food inventory in the kitchen, and asked softly, "Does Seijuro like Japanese breakfast?"

"No, I'm just curious that you can cook Western-style food. After all, Kagawa is an old restaurant with pure Japanese cuisine, and Western food should not be attached too much importance."

"Hashimoto's family has a western food business in Tokyo, and my second uncle is the head chef of Italian food there, so I learned a little bit from him in middle school."

If you want to say which part of the second house of the Akashi family Saya likes the most, apart from the room on the third floor where you can see the starry sky, it is the kitchen with rich ingredients, whether it is Western-style or Japanese-style materials. For her who cooks, this place is a treasure trove.

Find the fresh tomato and basil leaves, and the baguettes that were baked in the morning, Saya chopped the tomatoes and basil leaves, mixed them with olive oil in a glass bowl, and then cut the baguettes into small pieces , spread on the baking tray and bake in the oven until golden brown. After the bread is out of the oven, spread the mixed tomato on each piece of bread. A simple Italian meal is completed.

Seeing Saya busy in the kitchen alone, Nakamura Masao didn't bother her.And after he walked out of the kitchen, the young deacon who was assigned by him to complete a certain task rushed back and reported to him respectfully: "Mr. ...doing so really..."

"We are just doing things according to the president's instructions. For the future of the young master, we can't complain, understand?" Masao Nakamura patted the newcomer on the shoulder, "Okay, you should go and have a rest, the rest of the work Just leave it to Miss Saya."

The subordinates could only obey the orders of the boss. When the young deacon went back to the room to rest in doubt, Masao Nakamura came to the kitchen, pulled Saya back from the wonderful world of cooking again, and said to her: "Sorry, Miss Saya, I'm sorry to bother you, I don't know Could you please do the deacons a favor?"

"No problem, breakfast is almost ready, just ask."

Hearing that the fish had taken the bait, Nakamura Masao continued: "The young master has the habit of taking a morning bath every morning. He should have finished washing and returned to his room by now. Could you please help to recycle the dirty clothes basket in the bathroom? There is not enough manpower today, and he bumped into it again. The washing machine broke down, and the deacons are very distressed to deal with these troubles."

"If the washing machine breaks down, I can only wash it by hand. It doesn't matter. I often help my grandparents wash it at home. It doesn't bother me." Unlike the Akashi family, Saya has been trained by her grandmother in Hashimoto's house to be an expert in housework, sometimes making dinner The old chef's back hurts, and her practice results come in handy. Over time, she can do housework with ease, and she no longer needs to be nagged by her grandma.

"I'm really sorry. You are a guest of the president and the young master, and you are asked to do these things. No, it's better for me to deal with it."

Masao Nakamura rolled up the sleeves of his suit and pretended to walk towards the bathroom, but Shaye pulled him back.

"Mr. Nakamura, you have other things to be busy with. I will leave the work over there to me. Don't worry." Saya assured Masao Nakamura that he would leave the work to her with peace of mind, and she would definitely do well. to complete the task.

"Well, if you can't handle it, please call me."

"I see."

The thread has been drawn, what will happen next has nothing to do with Masao Nakamura and the other deacons, their job is just to make the two people closer.

*****

The second house of the Akashi family was much bigger than Saya imagined. Although she stayed here for three days and two nights last time, she had never set foot in some places, and the bathroom on the first floor was where she would go to work.It is usually reserved for the owner of the mansion, and guests are generally limited to the small bathroom in the guest room.

To be honest, her house also has a bath, but it is much smaller than Akashi's house. Of course, she didn't come to the bathroom to visit the renovation. According to Masao Nakamura's instructions, she had to go into the bathroom to collect the dirty clothes basket. But at this moment, water vapor filled the bathroom, blocking most of the indoor view. Could it be that Akashi didn't turn off the hot water switch before leaving?

Sha Ye guessed this in her heart, and walked forward with an empty basket. After a while, she saw a dirty laundry basket filled with clothes on a wooden bench. She immediately ran over and put the empty basket in her hand with the chair. Just as she finished the task and was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard the sound of a lot of water from the bath beside her. She subconsciously turned her head to see that the person emerging from the water threw her into the basket and ran away in fright. to the corner.

"Ah!!!! I didn't see it, I didn't see anything, don't get me wrong, I really didn't see anything!"

"Saya? Why are you here?" Akashi, who was taking a bath, also felt very surprised. In fact, when Hashimoto's car drove into the Akashi's house, he had already woken up under Jack's call. Originally, he wanted to go and finish first. Chen Yu went to look for her again, but he didn't expect that she would throw herself into the net in a maid outfit, which really surprised him a bit.

"I... I came to help Mr. Nakamura get the dirty laundry basket." Saya replied with a blushing face, not daring to turn around with Akashi on her back.

"You are my guest, how can they order you to do these rough jobs?" Not wanting Saya to be too far away from him, Akashi got up from the bath after taking a bath, and said to Saya who was still blushing: "Please trouble me now Pass me the towel over there."

"Take it yourself." Saya didn't have the courage to turn around.

"The towel is on your side. If you don't mind, I can go over and get it like this." Akashi likes to see Saya panicking because of him. Compared with pretending to be calm, she is much cuter at this time.

"Stop! I'll just get it for you." Picking up the towel placed on the shelf, Saya turned her back and slowly backed away. She only handed the towel to Akashi when she got to an approximate position.

"Thank you." After taking the towel to dry off the water droplets on his body, Akashi changed into the casual clothes he had prepared, "Okay, you can turn around now."

Hearing his reply, Saya was really relieved, and even the symptoms of rapid heartbeat were relieved a lot. She turned around and picked up the dirty laundry basket that was thrown on the ground, and was about to run away, but Akashi stopped her.

"Saya, where are you going? You haven't finished the work here."

"That's not my job, master." Seeing Akashi holding a hair dryer and a comb, Saya understood what he wanted her to do, so she immediately refused.

"Since you can put on that outfit, you are the maid of my Akashi family, come quickly and finish your work." Sitting down in front of the sink, Akashi waited for Saya to come to help.

"Correction, it's just that I don't want to eat and live for free." Resigning his fate and walking to Akashi, Saya skillfully sucked the water from his hair with a large towel, and then began to dry the hair slowly with a hair dryer.

"Then I'm going to trouble you these days, my maid." Akashi replied with a smile. Although he didn't have the weird hobbies of otaku, he liked Saya's current dress, watching her carefully help him arrange his hair from the mirror. This kind of satisfaction is indescribable, if possible, he really wants to get her service every morning.

"Okay, it's finished, I can go to do the laundry." After some tidying up, Saya finally restored Akashi's hair to its usual appearance.

"Saya, throw them into the washing machine, don't do it." Not wanting Saya to work too hard, Akashi asked her to hand over the laundry work to the machine.

"But the washing machine is broken." Saya replied.

It's really time for the bad ones. First, the chef is on temporary leave, and then the washing machine is broken. What are the deacons at home doing?After thinking for a while, Akashi figured out Nakamura Masao's intentions.

"You don't have to force yourself to do that pile of laundry..."

"Seijuro, don't you know that sometimes doing laundry is a kind of happiness?"

happiness?Before Akashi really understood what Saya said, he saw her bow her head and kiss him quickly on the cheek.

"Good morning, my master."
