[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

It is impossible to become the manager of the basketball team. Even if he can meet Akashi every day, Saya can only flinch in the face of the fiery enthusiasm of the girls.

Today, the first army did not practice a lot, and they all did some basic exercises. Saya’s task was to help the assistant coach record the training data, and then wiped all the basketballs in the big basket. The team members gave tactical guidance and arranged a practice menu for the day after tomorrow's training. After an hour, when the first army's group practice was over, Akashi asked the assistant coach to leave early and left the basketball club to go home early.

At the school gate, Masao Nakamura, who received a call from Saya, had already prepared his car and waited for Akashi. In his memory, Akashi had never been seriously ill since he was a child, but now he had a cold and fever, which almost scared him to death. He hurriedly contacted the family doctor of Akashi's family in Kyoto and ordered him to be on standby in the second house, while he drove to the school to pick him up. After waiting for 15 minutes, he finally saw Akashi and Saya walking out of the school gate.

"Master, are you okay, I'll take you home right away." Masao Nakamura opened the door and let Akashi get in the car.

"With Saya here, I'm fine." Although his body temperature was still rising, Akashi felt much more comfortable in his heart. This illness not only repaired the rift between him and Saya, but also made Naoki touch a soft nail, expressing In the first confrontation between the brothers, he won a small victory.

"That's really great, Ms. Saya, please stay with him during the young master's illness. With you, he should recover soon." Seeing that the relationship between Akashi and Saya returned to normal, Masao Nakamura also stood up for the two of them. I'm happy, but then again, his young master's illness happened at the right time, whether it was accidental or intentional, maybe only I know best.

The car left the school and drove quickly towards the residential area where Akashi's family was located. Due to dizziness caused by fever, Saya used his leg as a pillow for Akashi on the way so that he could lie down and rest, and sick people also enjoy this. Treatment, after lying down, not only did not sleep well, but also chatted with her in a good mood.

"Saya, Saturday and Sunday are weekends. If possible, move your review place to my house tonight." Another advantage of this illness is that it saves you the trouble of asking for leave. As long as you have enough rest on Saturday and Sunday, next Monday he will Can go back to school.

"How did you know about the university exam preparation class? Kotaro told you?" Saya frowned. Her childhood sweetheart still had the old problem of being unable to hide secrets from someone.

"Who else is there besides him? Sorry, I made you give up today's special cram school for me."

"It doesn't matter. The cram school is not very useful for second-year students anyway, and I have already obtained the relevant university materials and exercises assigned by the teacher in advance. It's okay if I don't go." Thinking of the university, Saya had to face up to the difficulties she would face in the future. One year older than Akashi and graduated earlier than him, she will be separated from him after graduation.

As if seeing through Saya's thoughts, Akashi grabbed her hand, passed the heat in his body to her through the palm of his hand, and said softly: "Do you feel it? Even if you graduated earlier than me, we will not be separated. Don't worry, in order to prevent You are alone in the university, I have figured out a good way to tie you up, you can't escape."

"Master, may I ask, what is your good idea?" Saya had an ominous premonition that Akashi's good idea was definitely not a good thing.

There was a warm smile on Akashi's lips, he closed his eyes, and replied softly: "For you, it's a secret for the time being, but for me, that day is the day when my wish will come true, I really hope it will come true soon." point to come."

Akashi's words made Saya very confused. She was about to ask, but found that he had fallen asleep. Seeing his sleeping face, she had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​asking, and leaned on the back of the chair to rest.At this moment, the car passed by the familiar shopping street, and a figure standing in front of the convenience store caught her attention. Is it the short man who entered the school to steal?It's a pity that the speed of the car was too fast. She only saw the short man talking with a man in a suit. What happened afterwards was completely unclear. Could it be that the Ando family didn't give up on what happened last time and planned to steal it again at the end of the semester?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. When Sha Ye decided to go home to pack up and salute, he stopped by to ask his grandfather for advice. To deal with those despicable people, the old belly snake always has a basket of good ideas.

*****

However, the old-bellied snake's thoughts sometimes deviate from those of his granddaughter. After Saya went home and explained the situation to Hashimoto Takaya, the old-bellied snake's reaction was flat, and he didn't pay attention to the Ando family's small actions at all. There was one thing that worried him. Since the tea party incident ended, Sha Ye's performance at the dinner party had attracted some people's attention. Perhaps those people were the culprits of the trouble.

"Grandpa, you said that I will be followed recently. This joke is not funny at all."

"You see my face looks like I'm joking?" Hashimoto also took a sip of sake and said, "Those people are here for you and Seijuro. Although they are not malicious for the time being, they are a trouble. You just need to do as usual. Going to and from school on time, they usually don't treat you badly, but for safety's sake, you and Seijuro have to be a little closer."

"Grandpa, what is the extent of your so-called intimacy?"

"At least you have to be like a couple in love, walking down the street arm in arm, talking sweet love words, the woman acting like a baby to the man, etc. In short, you can do whatever you want on TV, understand?"

Hashimoto Shangya's request almost caused Saya to choke on the tea, and she retorted with a blushing face: "Grandpa, you are drunk, let alone whether Seijuro and I will be followed, just want me to act like a baby to a boy who is one year younger than me. If you can’t do it, please don’t drink it, old man, this joke is not funny.”

"Huh! The prophecy of the old belly snake is absolute. If you don't believe it, you have to believe it. You and Seijuro are only one year apart. That's not a problem at all. Just do what I say. I will tell the devil at the Akashi family. of."

"No, grandma, stop grandpa quickly, he is very drunk." Saya asked Mrs. Chiyo who was eating side dishes for help. Who knew that her old man and grandpa were on the same front, and the words they said were almost exactly the same.

"Don't question your grandfather's words. It's true that someone is following you. Be careful when you go to Akashi's house tonight. If you encounter danger, let Ruth bite bad people. I've already cleaned up the salute for you." Mrs. Chiyo He patted the suitcase beside him, and said to Saya in a serious tone: "Since the devil asked you to take care of his son, then you can't live up to his expectations, come on."

"Wait, grandma, are you even drunk?" In the past, going to Akashi's house had to go through grandma's consideration for a long time before making the trip, but now it takes less than 5 minutes to approve the trip and prepare a takeaway. The speed of change is fast. Saya couldn't help but wonder, what happened at home before returning home?

"Saya, it's getting late. It's time for you to go out. Remember, be careful on the road." Mrs. Chiyo didn't explain her abnormality to Saya, but just urged her to go out as soon as possible, so as not to waste time.

Not understanding what her grandparents intended, Saya finally went out with doubts. Not long after leaving home, Mrs. Chiyo, who stayed at home, showed a worried look at her husband. She looked at Hashimoto Takaya who was drinking wine, hoping that he would give A reason for her peace of mind.

"You said someone was following Saya, could it be someone from the alliance?"

Hashimoto also nodded with a smile, "There are a lot of jealous people in the alliance, not to mention that someone can easily do what they can't do on the day of the tea party? So before confirming whether the relationship between Saya and the son of the devil is stable, they It won't be safe."

There was chattering and laughing calmly on the old belly snake, and Sha Ye, who was away from home, was walking on a street with few pedestrians with her suitcase in her hand. It was eight o'clock in the evening, and it was not too late. The residential area where the house is located is all the residences of merchants, and there are only private vehicles coming and going. There are very few people walking on the street like Saya.

In view of the abnormal behavior of grandpa and grandma today, Saya didn't take the stalking incident and what grandpa told him to heart, but when he passed the intersection of the street and entered the residential area where Akashi's family was, a strange thing happened.

Ruth, who was walking in front, stopped suddenly. It turned around and walked behind Saya, staring vigilantly at the dark place in the no-man's land behind, and barking at suspicious places from time to time. She stared at herself. In order to prove that her sense was correct, she continued to pretend not to notice and continued to walk forward. After a while, the sense of sight behind her remained the same. As Ruth barked more times, she realized that Grandpa's prophecy may come true, but who is following her?

No matter who it is, the only thing Saya can do at this time is to go forward desperately and not stay in place. Ruth also feels the master's uneasiness, and turns her head from time to time every time she walks for fear that something strange will come out from behind. The pace of one person and one dog accelerated, and the sense of sight behind them became more and more intense. The distance between the two was slowly approaching. Seeing this, Saya immediately stopped, turned around and shouted to the back——

"who is it?"

There was no one on the street, so naturally no one answered her. Faced with this situation, Saya looked forward and found that she was almost at Akashi's house. She decisively pulled up the suitcase and led Ruth to run forward. Yuan also chased after her, and she really hoped that there would be pedestrians on the street instead of the luxury cars of the rich passing by in a hurry.

The continuous pursuit exhausted a lot of the body. When Saya was worried about whether she would bring trouble to Akashi's house, there was a familiar dog barking not far ahead, followed by a big golden retriever dog running towards her quickly. Come here, it's Jack!The eye-catching red special collar around the neck is a sign to identify it, and Masao Nakamura is following behind it. Great, she is considered safe now.

"Miss Saya, are you alright?" Seeing Saya running out of breath, Masao Nakamura asked with concern.

"I... I'm fine, it's great to see you, Nakamura-san..."

"You have been late for half an hour. The young master is afraid that something will happen to you on the way. He wants me to take Jack out to pick you up. What happened? Someone is chasing you?"

"Let's go back and talk about it. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Also, don't tell Seijuro what happened just now. I'm afraid it will cause him more trouble."

"I understand, let's leave here first." Picking up the suitcase for Saya, Masao Nakamura escorted her towards Akashi's house. As for the sense of staring at Saya, it was lost after Masao Nakamura arrived. The trace, who the other party is, is still a mystery.
