[Black Basket] Shooting a Lover

The days after entering the second year of junior high school are not much different from the past. Chiaki Sugawara, who is used to "losing", strictly abides by the duty of a good student. While studying hard at school, she also maintains a good relationship with her classmates.It's just that when Sugawara Chiaki, who thinks she is in excellent condition, handles the affairs of the student union, she always has a blank look that is contrary to her excellent condition, just like now——

The girl with loose waist-length hair hung her head down and stared at the document held in her left hand without saying a word, while the signature pen held between the fingers of her right hand was twirling between her fingers again and again.Unaware that she had been sitting silently at the table for a short time, the girl just kept opening her eyes in a daze in an unknown dimension.

It's not the first time I saw Sugawara Chiaki's distraught appearance, and she sighed in her heart how the younger generation would love so much. The beautiful girl stopped flipping through the documents in her hands.Walking in front of the younger generation with delicate steps, she sighed when she met the girl who had no focus on the younger generation: "Well, Qianqiu, you've been fascinated by that pile of documents for long enough, you should wake up Right. I think you are also very clear that without your signature on this event planning document, I cannot take it to Akashi to sign and obtain permission to execute the event.”

Sugawara Chiaki, who was recalled by the senior's voice, immediately had a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry, Soya-senpai, because I was distracted, I kept you waiting for so long."

Saying so, she pursed her lips and opened the pen cap of the signature pen after apologizing. Chiaki Sugawara, who hadn't read the stack of documents yet, marked the documents with a signature pen while she finally finished writing. When a signature is signed, the minute hand has already made a small circle on the clock face hanging on the wall.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what to say other than sorry." Senior Soya is a person who is very particular about the concept of time. She feels uneasy about disrupting the other party's schedule. After passing the document, the first thing Soya did was not to leave the room, but to speak to him.

"Qianqiu, it's not the first day I've met you. In my impression, you are a very serious executive member. But today, today you leave others aside for a long time and don't say anything. If I don't call out In your case, when will you come back to your senses?"

Knowing that what Soya-senpai said was the truth, Chiaki, who lives in a country that values ​​the relationship between seniors and seniors, did not offer a single rebuttal to this.She was ready to continue to accept Soya's lecture, but to her surprise, Soya's next words came out in a helpless tone.

"Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that you are not normal recently. Tell me, what happened to you. Ah, slow down—" Stretching out a finger and shaking it slightly in mid-air, Soya stopped Chiaki Sugawara from speaking at the right time : "Forget it, it's better to let me guess by myself if you let you talk. Well, let me guess, it must have something to do with Akashi. People in the school felt that something was wrong before, and the close childhood sweethearts saw each other. Actually walked away as if I didn't see it. Although I was also very curious, the situation was not serious at that time, but now I have to take it back! If the two of you don't solve the lock between each other, there will be a day in the future I regret it!"

Soya's resolute tone left Sugawara Chiaki speechless, and his heart was indeed distracted by Akashi's affairs. After being silent for a while, Sugawara Chiaki chose to pour out his heart to Soya.

"I don't know why we became what we are now, I really don't know. Akashi and I got farther and farther away when he was in the first year of the country. He is a very important person to me. Seeing very important people getting farther and farther away from me Farther and farther away, I..." This matter that has been hidden deep in my heart finally has a chance to be spoken, even if the person who confides the truth is not Akashi, Chiaki doesn't care, after all, all she needs is someone to listen to her thoughts That's all: "Since a certain day in Guoyi, Akashi has never spoken to me again. He saw me as if he saw a transparent person. I don't know what I did wrong, and I dare not ask him directly ,So I……"

"So you are here alone, thinking about it, and the result of thinking about it is that you are getting more and more troubled." Soya, who understood the reason for the trouble of the younger generation, smiled and poked the younger generation with his finger. Forehead: "Really, what do you want me to tell you? Akashi is not someone who gets angry for no reason. Since you don't know the answer, then go ask Akashi. Don't say anything and dare not ask Akashi. What do you think? Compared with your life with Akashi Molu, which is more important?"

"I—" Sugawara Chiaki, who was very hypocritical, raised his head in a daze after hearing Soya's suggestion: "But I just dare not ask Akashi, Soya-senpai."

"..." Having been defeated by the junior's indecision, Soya, who didn't want to see his beloved junior continue to be confused and troubled by this, simply grabbed Sugawara Chiaki's hand.Clenching the other party's struggling hand in her hand, she pushed open the door of the room, turning her head and smiling vigorously at Chiaki Sugawara.

"I just want to go to Akashi to read the plan, so you can go with me, and then you must ask Akashi why. I don't want to see such a thing that I will regret for a lifetime because of a misunderstanding."

Soya's strength is very strong, and Sugawara Chiaki, unable to break free from Soya's strength, can only let Soya bring her to the basketball club.

It was dusk at this time, and the basketball club was carrying out club activities.Familiar with the way, he explained his intention to the familiar players, and Soya waited for Akashi, who was watching the players' practice not far away, to come here.The waiting process didn't take too long. The sound of the basketball rubbing against the floor made Chiaki Sugawara's heart beat faster and faster and even felt that the waiting process was too fast.

"This is the event planning document. Other than you, everyone involved has already signed it. If you have time, please read it now and sign it." Soya, who stood face to face with Akashi, expressed his intentions neatly, and did things without sloppiness. While she was patiently waiting for Akashi to look down at the documents, she also looked distractedly at Chiaki Sugawara who was at the side.

She was desperately lowering her sense of existence, and the act of lowering her head and wishing she could be lowered into the dust made Sogu hate iron for steel.There was no moment of hesitation. After receiving the document signed by Akashi, Soya smiled and looked up at Akashi and said, "Akashi, you see, the activities of the basketball club are almost over. Originally, Sugawara and I were going to go back together, but You see, oops, something happened to me temporarily, and I have to leave now. But it’s getting late, and I don’t feel worried about Sugawara going back alone. You two can go back together later. Ah, I’ll just leave She left it to you. Goodbye, Akashi, Sugawara."

Soya, who was in a hurry, whistled, and walked away with the documents, but Chiaki, who was cruelly left by Soya, could only look at Akashi who moved his cold gaze to her with wide eyes.

Neither of the two spoke first. I don't know how long they were silent. In the end, Chiaki Sugawara, who hadn't seen Akashi for a long time, spoke up first: "Well, I... If you have something to do, go and do it first." , I’ll be fine going home alone.”

——It's a lie, it's a lie.

Yes, this is a lie.Being strangers to Akashi during this period of time undoubtedly made Sugawara Chiaki see one fact clearly, that is, she cannot do without Akashi.If Akashi is not by her side, she is like a shell without a soul.A body that has lost its vitality is not worthy of being called a "human", it is just a walking dead.

Akashi should also be very clear that she can't do without him, but even so, Akashi still cast such indifferent eyes on her...

Why would Akashi do this to her?What did she do wrong?

He couldn't figure out what was the reason for the stalemate between the two, and besides, Akashi's response to his own voice was not received, Sugawara Chiaki twisted the corner of his clothes with his hands and kept annoyed.

Of course, she also knew that her cowardly and helpless demeanor fell into Akashi's eyes, but Chiaki Sugawara, who thought that Akashi would not care about her anymore, accidentally heard Akashi's answer about 1 minute later.

"Don't cry, Qianqiu."

What?What is Akashi talking about?She didn't cry.

Confused by Akashi's words, Sugawara Chiaki raised his head and looked at Akashi helplessly, but saw himself crying in Akashi's eyes.Before that, Chiaki Sugawara, who didn't realize that he was crying at all, didn't want the surrounding basketball club members to think that Akashi had done something to him, quickly wiped away his tears with a handkerchief.

"I'm sorry..." Apologizing seems to have become a habit, Sugawara Chiaki said some false guesses: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't cry, but I can't control it. Why? I want to know what I did If something is wrong, you can tell me, and I will definitely change it."

If it wasn't for the unsuitable environment, she would have knelt down and wept heartily in front of Akashi.She knew, always knew, that no matter what happened, Akashi would tolerate her waywardness.So even if it was a cowardly act like crying, Akashi would not allow her to do it.

"...What did I do wrong..." The members who had noticed something from just now left with interest, and the tears of their childhood sweethearts became more and more turbulent after they left.Looking down at his childhood sweetheart standing helplessly in front of him and crying, it is undeniable that Akashi's heart softened, but in some places, Akashi still refused to give in.

"Wouldn't you be the one who said that you would look forward to meeting each other from now on? Qianqiu. Of course, until now, I don't think I did anything wrong with Shimizu-kun."

Akashi was emphasizing his position, but the person whose position he was emphasizing faced his answer with puzzled eyes.

"Shimizu-kun, who is that?"

"..." The childhood sweetheart's eyes didn't seem to be evading, and Akashi, who met the empty eyes of his childhood sweetheart, closed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "No, it's fine if you don't remember, your not remembering can only prove that he is an irrelevant person." important people."

Looking at the childhood sweetheart who was relieved by his answer, Akashi sorted out his thoughts, and then asked her to go home together after his club activities were over.

And after the club activities ended, Akashi, who had finished changing his school uniform in the lounge, did not leave the lounge with the other members. The boy who took out his mobile phone and leaned against the wall thinking about something was just so silent.

His fair fingers had been on the phone screen for a while, and Akashi, who knew it was getting late by looking out the window, finally dialed the number.

"...Yes, I have a friend... Well, then I will trouble you."

After the call was over, Akashi, who put his phone back into his schoolbag, walked out of the lounge and was about to go home. As soon as he went out, he saw his childhood friend clutching the shoulder strap of his schoolbag waiting for him to come out.The other party's soft facial features looked softer in the dusk, and Akashi, who temporarily put the content of the phone call in his heart, smiled at her: "Let's go."

"Okay." Holding Akashi's hand extended to her, Sugawara Chiaki returned Akashi's gentle smile.

The rigid relationship between the two seemed to dissolve just like that.
