[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

"Now, the directors of the basketball department, football department, and kendo department are invited to come forward to draw a lottery. Whether the prize is awarded or punished depends entirely on your luck."

The staff of the sports festival put the lottery box on the table with a smile on their faces, and the ministers of the three associations felt more uneasy after seeing the expressions on the staff's faces. They were sure that the so-called prizes in the box and The primary school festival is the same, maybe the penalty is more than the reward.

The head of the Kendo Department was the first to draw a lottery. He was sweating coldly, his expression was tense, and his hands were shaking when he reached into the box. Open it, and the result given to him by fate appeared in front of his eyes.

"Great, Minister, we're fine." The members of the Kendo Department were all relieved when they saw the note in their Minister's hand, and some even cheered.It turned out that the slip of paper was blank without a single word. According to the rules, drawing a blank slip of paper means no reward or punishment, which is the biggest consolation prize among the prizes. No wonder the members of the Kendo Department were so excited.

The kendo department passed the test without any risk, and then it was the turn of the football department. After witnessing the good luck of the kendo department, the head of the football department who was full of confidence suddenly felt like a discouraged ball. He knew that there was only one consolation prize, and now it is in the box All that was left was rewards and punishments. He could only pray that his luck would be better and that he would not draw unexpected prizes.

However, there is always a big gap between imagination and reality. On the surface, this year's club competition is the same as last year, and the prizes are determined by drawing lots. In fact, the committee has changed the content, bundling the prizes with the school festival activities, and the head of the football department happens to be Winning this double surprise made the entire football club instantly fall into a state of dead silence.

"This...what the hell is this..." Looking at the staff of the sports festival, the head of the football department asked them to give him a reasonable explanation.

"In order to make this year's Luoshan Festival more exciting, some projects will be assigned to the major clubs. Congratulations to the football department for being able to draw a women's clothing coffee shop, and the reward for increasing the funds of the football department. I look forward to your outstanding performance at the school festival. "

The staff’s explanation made people from other clubs couldn’t help laughing. Women’s clothing coffee, sure enough, you have to pay a heavy price to get extra funds. I can only say that this year’s football club is not lucky. I don’t know if the basketball club Will it continue the bad luck of the football department and draw even more unexpected prizes?

The basketball club's hopes are all on Akashi, and no one wants to accept horrible punishment, especially washing the men's bathroom for three months, which is more terrifying than long-term intensive training.Akashi received the expectant gazes from the members, and he was not as flustered as the previous two associations, but calm and composed as usual. He reached into the cardboard box and quickly took out a note from it.

"Congratulations, the basketball department has received double the extra funds, but the price for getting the prize is to represent the executive department of the student union to participate in the opening event of the school festival. The performance project is a male and female chorus with piano accompaniment. If you can't do it, the prize will be returned in full. "

There is no toilet cleaning, no punishment for spoofing, just double the funding plus singing performances. I don’t know if the prize Akashi drew was a grand prize or another kind of punishment. It is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack for boys in the sports department to play the piano. I looked all over the list of the first, second and third armies of the basketball department, but I couldn't find one.

"Which one of you can play the piano?" Ling Yang and Kotaro have started looking for potential candidates in the department, but some of the members present can only play the guitar, flute and other instruments, and no one can play the piano.The troubles of the new students spread rapidly in the department, and everyone couldn't help worrying about the prescribed items on the note.

"Since it's a male and female chorus, can the female voice be chosen freely?" Akashi's question broke the silence when the members were thinking about the solution.

"Yes, it's all up to you to match." The staff member replied.

"I understand. I will be in charge of this project. I will ensure that the basketball club will have an excellent performance on the day of the school festival. Please look forward to it." Unexpectedly, Akashi was not bothered by troubles, but readily accepted the note. task.

"Xiaozheng...you can play the piano?" Although Akashi is very strong in all aspects, there is almost nothing he is not good at, but even the piano is included, which makes Lingyang very curious. He has never seen Akashi in the music room. Playing the piano, your son of the piano?If those fanatical girls saw that scene, they would definitely not be able to stop screaming.

"I practiced for a while when I was young." Even though he accepted the task of the school festival verbally, Akashi was still reminded of that sleeping past by the word piano.One day when he was a child, he was sitting quietly on the piano chair when he was a child, listening to his mother's piano, and the melodious piece she played was even more unforgettable to him to this day.

"The female voice in the chorus..." Ling Yang immediately thought of another person, and only she, Akashi would be in the mood to cooperate with the school festival's spoof.

"It's good that you and I know some things, so you don't need to say it out loud." There were so many people watching the game on the playground, Akashi didn't specify who to cooperate with, anyway, his relationship with Saya would be exposed sooner or later, so let the people in the school get used to them relationship, they will make it public when the time is right.

"Cousin, let's exchange, I think women's coffee will be very suitable for you, how about it?" Naoki couldn't accept wearing women's clothes on the day of the school festival, and he didn't want Saya to see his embarrassing appearance, so he took the initiative to negotiate with Akashi , Try to change the fate of the football department.

"Naoki, you have to work hard, she also wants to see you in women's clothing, remember to dress up beautifully, don't scare her." Akashi Yu said to Naoki earnestly, but his heart burst into laughter, fortunately, he was wearing women's clothing It's not him, otherwise his image in Saya's heart will be completely destroyed.

"I'll trade all the extra funding for the football department!"

"Sorry, I refuse."

The lottery draws for the three clubs were completed, and the sports festival came to an end at the same time. The teachers counted the scores of the red and white groups. The red group beat the white group by a large score and won this year's team championship.As the winner, each class in the red group can go to the club to celebrate, and discuss the class simulation store plan for the school festival next month.

Attracted by the lively fun club, the students quickly packed up their belongings and headed to the gathering place together, while the staff of the sports festival were busy carrying the equipment on the playground and cleaning up the sundries left on the playground.As the president and secretary of the student union, Akashi and Saya are not as relaxed as other students. They have to stay and help with chores. When they are really busy, it is almost dusk, and the two who changed into casual clothes did not rush to the club immediately. Instead of the venue, I came to a small teahouse in the commercial street to eat grilled mochi balls.

"Seijuro, you've been staring at that thermos for a long time, don't you plan to drink the contents?" Not long after taking a seat outside the teahouse, the proprietress had already delivered freshly baked mochi balls with miso sauce, but because Akashi had been drinking for a long time In a daze, the baked mochi dumplings have gradually cooled down.

"Saya, do you know what's inside?" Akashi didn't open the thermos, but played a guessing game with Saya beside him.

Sha Ye shook his head and said, "I think it has a very special meaning to you."

"That's right, you're right. The stuff inside does have a very special meaning. It's not rare but very common. I can drink it every year, and I'll feel like she's back home..." Opening the thermos in his hand, Akashi poured the liquid into the empty cups they drank, "Come on, she will be very happy if I share it with you."

Puzzled, he picked up the cup and took a sip. Saya finally knew what was in it. It was very common barley tea. With a family like the Akashi family, they would only choose high-quality and precious tea for drinking. How could they prefer ordinary barley tea?

"You're wondering why my father gave me barley tea, right?" Akashi began to solve the riddle for Saya, "At my sports meeting from kindergarten to elementary school, my mother would bring barley tea and homemade lunch to cheer me up every year. At that time, no matter how busy my father was, he would come to participate in parent-child sports competitions. The family gathered together to drink barley tea for lunch. That time was really happy. Until my mother passed away, my father turned himself into a job in order to suppress the sadness. He is crazy, he no longer has time to come to the sports festival to watch my game, but he has not forgotten what his mother did back then, he can’t come in person and let the housekeeper make barley tea and send it to the school, until now, he is still the same, for me and him In other words, the memory of her existence is the most precious treasure in the world."

"I really envy you, Seijuro, your parents really love you, in order to repay their expectations, that's why you received a strict elite education and worked hard to become a qualified heir."

"Yeah, this is the only way for me to repay them, what about you? Don't you keep forcing yourself to undergo those rigorous trainings in order to become a female general? You have done more than I did." The graduation skipping exam is an example, Akashi guessed In addition to the pressure from his father, Saya also made demands on her from within the Hashimoto family, which was more severe than he imagined.

"My mother once said to me, don't live like her. In fact, that sentence is very contradictory. She herself hopes that I can get rid of the status of the heir of the family and live the life of an ordinary person, but she can't let go of my grandparents and thinks that I can't do it. The things I have learned should be handed over to my daughter to take care of her elderly parents. In the end, I put family responsibilities first and gave up my previous dreams."

"If you don't have family responsibilities, what do you want to do after graduating from university?" Akashi asked tentatively.

Saya lowered her head and thought for a while, then replied: "I want to be a singer and a policeman. Hey, big devil, don't laugh. It's normal to have fantasies in childhood. Tell me about yours."

"I will become a professional chess player and challenge strong opponents every day." Hearing that Saya wanted to be a singer, Akashi laughed, "Speaking of singers, this year the basketball club will replace the student union to perform on the stage of the school festival. The project is the piano The male and female chorus of accompaniment, I think you are up to the task."

"No way, do you really want me to sing with you?"

"Correction is not to accompany, but to cooperate. This is an opportunity for others to accept us slowly, and you cannot refuse." To prevent Saya from retreating, Akashi stubbornly turned her into his practice partner.

"You are not busy with the Winter Cup, how can you have time to practice singing? If you are too busy, I will find a way to help you push it away."

"No, don't waste this opportunity. After the club activities are over, we will go to the ktv in the city center to choose songs, and it will be our date."

Go to ktv with Akashi?In Saya's mind, he imagined Akashi's appearance as a Maiba in the ktv box, which completely didn't match his gentle and handsome appearance. That appearance was so joyful.

"Okay, when your club activities are over, let's go together."

Outside the teahouse, the lovers were talking and laughing, chatting about the interesting things about their date. In a dark corner in the distance, a tall and thin man in a windbreaker was secretly watching the two of them. After 10 minutes, he quietly left. .
