[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

Are you happy?Akashi was unfamiliar with this term. Since his mother passed away, his father was busy with work and was almost always away from home. He spent most of his time with the deacons at home.Now Saya helps him make breakfast and wash clothes. The unprecedented feeling is very wonderful, as if a warm current suddenly fills the vacancy in his heart, and he can't help but want him to stop time and enjoy this warmth forever.

"It seems that Mrs. Chiyo's special training has worked." Putting the breakfast prepared by Saya on the dining table, Masao Nakamura poured a glass of freshly squeezed juice for Akashi.

"Special training?" Thinking of Saya's initiative in the bathroom, Akashi felt strange at first, but now that Masao Nakamura mentioned Mrs. Chiyo, he confirmed again that there was another reason for Saya's change.

"Yesterday, I met the old man of Hashimoto's family while drinking in Dieting Pavilion. He talked to me about Ms. Saya, and said that his granddaughter is receiving intensive training from his wife to improve her self-confidence, so that she can cope with the upcoming event in a few days. important tea party."

"I said why she suddenly took the initiative, so that's the reason."

"Master, Ms. Saya did this for you." Masao Nakamura sighed, "If she doesn't make any changes, the person standing by your side cannot be her. She just woke up from her confusion and began to respond to your feelings. That's all."

"Uncle Masao, you played too much today. You asked Saya to make breakfast and let her do the laundry. Our Akashi family can't even afford a washing machine recently?" Seeing Saya's maid dressed up is certainly pleasing to the eye, but he He didn't want her to be troubled, she came to Akashi's house to stay temporarily, not to be a maid, so he had to remind the housekeepers not to take the joke too far.

Faced with Akashi's reprimand, Nakamura Masao felt timid because of it, and he replied calmly: "Master, I completely acted according to the president's arrangement. He said, since Seijuro has advanced my plan by ten years, then Let him experience the life he will live ten years from now, and today's maid incident is just an accidental episode."

"Ten years later? Could it be..." Akashi frowned suspiciously. He remembered that the old head of the Hashimoto family had told him something like ten years in advance at the pet hospital. Hearing Masao Nakamura say the same today, he couldn't help but make him cry. Doubt Saya's true identity.

"Master, you guessed it right. Ms. Saya is the trump card reserved by the Akashi family, and she is also your last fiancée candidate."

"You mean she wasn't the right person in the first place?"

"Yes, the president thinks that Ms. Saya's personality is too strong and difficult to get along with you, but she has aptitude and potential that other Zhengxuan don't have. So since she was a child, he has sent people to observe her growth from time to time, and Put her on the waiting list."

"She herself doesn't know the truth?"

"Yes, the old Patriarch of the Hashimoto family thought that it was a problem to be faced after the age of 20, so he didn't tell her the truth. I didn't expect you to meet her too early, which completely disrupted the plans set by the elders. "

"Isn't that good?" Akashi chuckled, "I hate others to arrange everything for me. Even if I want to get married in the future, it is based on the relationship between the two of you. No one can act against my wishes."

"The president also expected that the young master would have such thoughts, so he chose Miss Saya as the last candidate. Facts have proved that he was right, but..."

"But what? What did father tell you yesterday?" Seeing Masao Nakamura's hesitant expression, Akashi suddenly had an ominous premonition that what he would hear later would definitely not be a good thing.

"However, it is not only the Akashi family who have taken a fancy to Ms. Saya's talents, but also another big family outside the alliance, the Kasuga Zaibatsu. They are also looking for a suitable bride candidate for the heir." Masao Nakamura said the disturbing bad news .

"Interesting, are you saying that my cousin who has never met wants to fight with me?"

"Yes, since your mother passed away, the Kasuga family has been secretly fighting against the Akashi family, especially at the tea party a few days later, you may run into him there, please be careful." Masao Nakamura hoped that Akashi Be vigilant and don't take it lightly. Compared with Oikawa and Ando, ​​the strength of the Kasuga Zaibatsu is much stronger.

"So what?" A sneer crossed Akashi's lips, "Saya is mine, and no one can take her away from me. If he wants to fight with me, he must weigh himself first."

*****

Sha Ye, who was washing clothes in the laundry room, couldn't help but sneezed twice in a row. Strange, could she have a cold?

Sitting on a small stool to wash clothes, Saya did her job very smoothly, but while she was working hard to wash the clothes, she also found an embarrassing problem. She can easily handle clothes such as pajamas, pajamas, and jackets. Where are the panties?It's her first time washing! !

boom!Thinking of this, Saya immediately blushed. She hurriedly concentrated on washing other clothes, but it was useless to run away. After washing the outerwear and trousers, what was left was the boy's boxer trousers that bothered her.

What to do, to wash or not to wash?Akashi would persuade her before, maybe because he was afraid that she would be embarrassed.If she didn't wash it, it would be very difficult for her to explain to Mr. Nakamura, let it go, it's just a pair of pants, she doesn't believe she can't wash it.

She kept teaching herself not to think wrongly, and took care of the trousers like washing other clothes. After a while, the difficulty was broken. With her efforts, the basket of dirty clothes was finally washed.But at this moment, the sky outside the window darkened, and it even started to rain lightly. Fortunately, the clothes dryer in the laundry room was not broken, and after she wrung out the clothes, she could stuff them all in and dry them.

"Saya."

"Ah!! Why...how is it you?" Why did Akashi enter the laundry room at this time, and what she was twisting was his pair of boxers, it was really embarrassing to be bumped into by him.

"You, you just like to force yourself." An unnatural blush flashed across Akashi's face. Even though his expression was indifferent, he would still feel embarrassed to see someone he likes washing his underwear, but Saya's reaction was obviously worse than his. Seriously, my face is as red as a ripe tomato.

"Where is it? I'm working hard." Quickly putting the clothes in his hand into the dryer, Saya pressed the dryer's working switch, and the laundry work officially came to an end.

"Thank you." Hugging Saya from behind, Akashi leaned against her neck, and said in a gentle but strong tone: "From now on, I will leave the housework to you, and I won't allow you to wash clothes for other men. "

"Your clothes alone are enough for me to wash. How can I have time to care about others?" The heat on Sha Ye's face still hasn't subsided. She rubbed her face, hoping that she could recover from the embarrassment just now.

"Of course, my maid, I will always be the only one you want to serve." No matter what the cousin's family intends, Akashi will never let Saya fall into the hands of the Kasuga family.

"Then my dear master, what shall I do next?"

"There is a guest coming to visit, someone we all know, please go to the kitchen to prepare tea and cake first." Akashi took Saya's hand and put it on his lips and kissed, "Be careful, don't be scalded by boiling water."

"Yes, master, can you please let me go? How do you go to the kitchen with your arms around me like this?" Sha Ye wanted to break free from his arms, but unexpectedly, he was hugged horizontally without moving his feet.

"As a reward, let me carry you, don't struggle."

It was one of Akashi's original arrangements for someone to visit in the morning, but the visitors were not his relatives, but Saya's uncle Kenichi Hashimoto and his wife. They were invited to Akashi's house this time not for Saya, but for A mare about to give birth at the stud farm.

"Wow!!" Before the guests came in, Ruth and Jack, who were playing around in the yard, ran out to greet them, circling around them before entering the hall of the main house.

"Ruth, Jack, your relationship is really good, take me to see your master." Carrying the toolbox and approaching the main house, Hashimoto Kenichi let the two little guys lead the way for him.

"Welcome, Doctor Hashimoto, the young master is waiting inside." Masao Nakamura, who had nothing to do, came out to entertain the guests. He sent Ruth and Jack away with a fox ball, and then led Hashimoto and his wife to the house. hall.

"That idiot Saya has caused you trouble." Kenichi Hashimoto first apologized to Masao Nakamura on behalf of the old head, hoping that his niece did not cause trouble to the Akashi family.

"No, Dr. Hashimoto is serious. Saya is fine here. You and the old Patriarch don't have to worry about her." Akashi came to the living room from the corridor on the first floor, and politely replied to Kenichi Hashimoto: "Last time I want to thank you for the matter, if you didn’t let Jack stay with Ruth in the pet hospital, he would probably still be at odds with me now.”

"Haha, you're welcome. It's rare for Ruth to find Jack, an infatuated handsome guy. That's her luck." Mentioning the matter of Ruth and Jack, Hashimoto Kenichi laughed from ear to ear. It was the first time he met Jack. The Golden Retriever was paired with the Shiba Inu. At that time, he was checking Ruth's body. If he moved a little too much, Jack would bark at him uneasily, and the level of enthusiasm and concern was almost stronger than that of humans.

"You two rest in the lobby first, and I'll take you to the stables later." Akashi sat down on the sofa opposite Hashimoto and his wife, and the person who was in charge of serving tea came out of the kitchen.

"Welcome, guest..." Holding the tray in the hall, Saya's voice suddenly became softer. My God, why are Uncle Kenichi and Aunt Mingmei here?

However, besides Saya, Hashimoto and his wife were the ones who were surprised, especially Kenichi Hashimoto. When he saw his niece appearing in front of him in a maid outfit, his first reaction was——

"Saya, you are so cute in your clothes, let your uncle give you a hug, ah, I really miss your aunt being so cute when she was young..." Hashimoto Kenichi was knocked hard by his wife before he could finish his sentence Look at your head.

"Don't make a fool of yourself in front of the younger generation. You can't be the heir of the Hashimoto family because you are too old. Pay attention to Saya's identity. Master Akashi is still here, idiot! Be serious!"

After teaching her husband, Hashimoto Mingmei sighed helplessly, and she said to Akashi: "Master Akashi, Kenichi's otaku problem has not flared up for many years, please forgive me, but then again, Saya looks very beautiful in a maid outfit What, are you playing a master-servant game?"

Aunt, please don't just guess right.Sha Ye complained in her heart, and she quickly explained, "Grandma said that you can't live here for nothing, so..."

"Well, I understand, this kind of love is very common among lovers, take advantage of this good opportunity, you have to work hard!" Having seen through the relationship between the two, Hashimoto Akemi also cheered for Saya's love, it is rare to have freedom Marriage formed by love, as elders should give them support.

"Aunt, actually we..."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"Cute little Saya?" Akashi felt very curious, which age group of Saya Hashimoto Kenichi is cute? Could it be...

"Sorry, my husband is talking about Saya in the first grade of elementary school. There was a performance in the school at that time. My husband went to visit instead of Saya's sick mother and took that photo." Akemi Hashimoto took out her husband's wallet, took out the The small photo that had been kept inside for many years was handed to Akashi, "This is the only one without a negative."

"Seijuro, don't look at it!" Putting down the tray in his hand, Saya wanted to go forward to snatch the photo, but it was still a step too late. Akashi not only saw the photo, but also laughed.

In the photo, Saya, who was in elementary school, was wearing a black maid outfit with a double ponytail hairstyle, holding a cream cake in her right hand, and making a classic Sailor Moon gesture with her left hand towards the camera lens, and a dialog box was drawn in the upper right corner of the photo , which reads "The Maid Warrior Saya-chan is here".

Well, the dialog box should be a spoof at that time, Akashi can understand Hashimoto Kenichi's mood to some extent, Saya was really cute at that time.

"Can you give me this photo, please?" Akashi asked Hashimoto Akemi while suppressing a smile.

"No problem, I'll see you off." Hashimoto Akemi generously gave the photo to Akashi.

"Wuuuuuuu...my Shaye-chan is still married...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense, who is married!" Sha Ye, who became the focus of the discussion, felt that she was too ashamed to see others, especially in that photo, this time she would really be laughed to death by Akashi.
