[Black Basket] Together with the Light

The location where Takeuchi shot the location is a famous historical district in Kyoto. There is a direct subway from Tokyo University to there, but it takes four to 10 minutes to take the direct subway across the city.

On weekends, the subway at Dongda Station was full of students going out. Most of them were girls in groups of three or four. Boys only accounted for a small part, and most of them came out with the girls.Compared with going out to play, video games are obviously more attractive to boys.

Midorima stood holding the handle, with no expression on his face, but a little uneasy in his heart.Takeuchi is working, what is he going to do?Stand aside and watch?After hearing the girl's insincere words, why did he agree?

The tall boy looked out the window expressionlessly. Among the young people who were playing with their phones with their heads down, the expressionless Midorima, wearing black-rimmed glasses, was full of the rigidity of a good student, exuding a difficult air. field.

Midorima thought, he would never make jokes with the staff, and it was difficult to even have a polite conversation. Could it be that he just stood there and looked at Takeuchi Keko?

Imagining such a scene, Midorima Shintaro has the urge to take the train in the opposite direction to go back to school.

It's just impulsive.

While feeling that he agreed to Takeuchi's behavior was irrational, Midorima subconsciously felt that if he didn't go, he would lose something very important.

what is the important thing?His rationality prevented him from thinking further, but he already had a vague answer in his heart.

Midorima found herself getting nervous.

It's too ugly, he scolded himself in his heart.

Walking out of the subway station in Kyoto, Midorima dialed Takeuchi's phone, and the other end answered the phone, but the voice that came out was not the one he was familiar with: "Hello, Mr. Midorima? I'm Leng Ning, Zhizi is not very convenient right now." Answer the phone."

The unexpected voice made Midorima stunned for a moment, then he thought of the small voice that kept coming from the side when Takeuchi was on the phone with him, it seemed that the owner of that voice was Leng Ning, so he said calmly: "I'm in Kyoto."

"Where are you?" Leng Ning's voice became farther away, "I'm going to pick him up?" From the pronoun it's not hard to tell that the second half of her sentence was addressed to Takeuchi.

Takeuchi, who was swayed by the makeup artist, gestured OK to the makeup mirror, Leng Ning nodded, and asked, "Mr. Midorima, where are you now?"

Leng Ning waited at the intersection until he arrived at the green room. Not far away, several people were adjusting the long-lens camera in front of a certain Noh theater. Leng Ning pointed there: "Thank you, Zhizi is putting on makeup inside, and she will come out soon."

Midorima nodded. He was not familiar with Leng, but he was not unfamiliar. It was not too difficult to find a topic to talk about: "You came with her?"

"Well, let's open your eyes." Leng Ning replied with a smile, "Where is Mr. Lujian? Could it be that you really came to listen to a geisha play the Sanxian?"

"No," Midorima subconsciously denied the unimaginable reason.The boy paused the moment the words came out, it wasn't for the geisha - of course not - why did he come?Have to think of a reason.

Only then did Luma belatedly realize that Leng Ning was not asking a question but was teasing him. The Chinese girl said teasing words with a serious face, and the person being teased couldn't react for a while.

Midorima's mood suddenly turned bad, just like the bad mood when facing Kuroko many times.

"I'll give her a certificate." Midorima replied in a hurry, "She won the first place in the long-distance race, so I'll treat her to dinner."

"Oh—" Leng Ning dragged out his voice, "ah, it's coming out."

Green looked away.

A group of women of similar height, wearing kimonos, walked out of the Noh theater, each with their hair in buns, holding hideous and hollow Noh masks in their hands.The high-footed wooden clogs made a crisp sound on the stone road. Most of them wore heavy makeup that could not reveal their original skin color, except for one person. Except for a blush at the corner of the eye, Takeuchi Keko's face was almost clean.

As if sensing Midorima's sight, Takeuchi Keko turned her head to look over, and when she turned her head, the bright red in the corner of her eyes was breathtaking.

Green took a breath.

Takeuchi in the crowd smiled and beckoned to him slightly, his eyes were on the verge of letting go. During work, Takeuchi quickly turned his head away from Midorima.

Takeuchi's small movements were not hidden. The surrounding geishas and several staff members all looked over. Midorima didn't know what expression to make, so he lowered his head and pushed his glasses.When they looked up again, everyone's eyes had already been turned away. A rich middle-aged man smiled kindly and waved for Lu Jian and Leng Ning to pass by.

"That's Qing Shuiming, Zhizi's manager." Leng Ning introduced at the right time.

"Mr. Shimizu, hello." Walking in front of Shimizu, Midorima saluted and said hello.

"Hello, I'm Zhizi's friend, sit here."

Someone had moved a folding stool from the Noh theater earlier, Shimizu invited Leng Ning and Midorima to sit down and took out two bottles of mineral water from a cardboard box on the side, and handed them over, "There are snacks in the studio, but you can only eat them outside. It will be down soon."

The photographer on the other end is instructing the girls: "Stand around casually, pretending to go shopping together...the model stands at the front...change positions with the person on the right."

The photographer raised his hand to signal, and the assistant adjusted the angle of the light-emitting board.

"The model lowered her head, covered half of her face with a mask, and looked at the ground. Others smiled in front of the front, and didn't look at the camera. Their eyes spread to both sides. The shop next to it is very interesting."

The girls adjusted their positions according to the command, and the quick response showed that they were used to doing this kind of thing.

The photographer's finger pressed the shutter: "Takeuchi doesn't move his head, look up at me!"

"Others wear masks, and the mannequin holds the mask over his chin in his hand and looks at the camera."

The photographer kept giving instructions, and the girls cooperated.

Shimizu said, "Isn't it very different from what you see in the photos?"

Leng Ning said "um", but Luma didn't speak.

In fact, isn’t that what taking pictures is all about? Girls in kimonos on the old streets are taking pictures in different poses. Passers-by will look back, but few people stop for them.What I saw on the spot was far less amazing than the completed film with post-production special effects.

It's just taking a photo after putting on makeup. Once you get in touch with them, you will find that the work of the models is not as mysterious as imagined.

After the group photo was completed, the geisha left after saying goodbye to each other, and Takeuchi continued to shoot the solo photo.The photographer's assistant who assisted many people in standing was free, and the folding reflector came to the place where Shimizu and the others were, and the photographer's toolbox was also placed here.

"Thanks for your hard work." Qing Shui stood up to help—actually, there was nothing to help, just a hand out of courtesy.

Qing Shui stood up, and naturally Leng Ning and Lu Jian couldn't sit still.

The photographer's assistant, who is used to facing strangers, won't let the scene be awkward, he thanked Shimizu for his help, and then turned to Leng Ning and Lujian: "Miss Leng Ning, do you want to change clothes later and take some photos? Just treat it as a warm-up for filming in the future.”

Leng Ning hurriedly waved his hands and said no.

The photography assistant then exchanged pleasantries with her, and then looked at Midorima with excitement in his eyes: "I know you, Shintaro Midorima!"

Luma: "...I am Luma, you are..."

"Don't use honorifics," the camera assistant waved his hands, "I'm not much older than you, I watch every game of your basketball game, marksman!"

It wasn't the first time he heard such words, but Midorima was still a little at a loss, he pushed his glasses covertly: "...Thank you."

"The basketball players are really tall..." the assistant sighed, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he turned to the photographer and shouted, "Boss, what do you think of him?"

The photographer moved his gaze away from the viewfinder, and scanned the green room carefully: "Young man, please do me a favor."

A question made with an affirmative sentence makes it clear that you do not want to be rejected.

Midorima didn't agree immediately, the photographer's eyes made him have a vague guess: "What help?"

"The center of this group of photos I took is the conflict between tradition and modernity, focusing on the model's makeup," the photographer simply put down the camera. He is a first-class photographer in the industry, and people often call him "teacher" has become one of the artists, so Shimizu personally came to apologize to him for the temporary replacement of the model, and the photographer continued, "But it is obviously not enough. I originally wanted to add a male model, but it is a pity that Kise Ryo is too useless. schedule."

Yellow Set.

Did he really want to take a picture?

Midorima frowned, his first reaction was to look at Takeuchi, the girl was also looking at him, Midorima hurriedly withdrew his gaze, what was he looking at her for, and it was impossible for her to give him advice on this matter.

The photographer saw Midorima's reaction and understood that he was unwilling. Now that selfies are popular, there are many people who hate taking pictures.The photographer made the last effort for his own concept: "Only the back and silhouette are enough, and the face will not be photographed."

Midorima hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Takeuchi standing behind the photographer: "Okay."

50.00% possibility, expected and unexpected, although he guessed that Midorima might agree, but the boy's answer still made Takeuchi stunned.

"Okay, thank you very much!" The photographer smiled heartily, and then began to command: "Bring the tripod here, Takeuchi, you stand by the red flower cluster... yes." The cameraman put the camera on the tripod, facing Takeuchi focused, "Young man, when you come over there, just walk normally like an athlete on the field." Obviously he heard the conversation between the assistant and Midorima.

"When Midorima passes by, Takeuchi, stare at him."

As soon as the photographer said these words, Takeuchi and Midorima looked at each other subconsciously. Before they could look away, the photographer caught up with the words behind him: "Look at him with surprise, amazement, and love at first sight. .”

"..." Midorima couldn't make an expression anymore.

"Pfft——" Takeuchi turned his head and covered his face with his sleeve, unable to hold back his smile.
