Kasamatsu's black silk

what……

I looked at the calendar pasted on the wall in front of the desk, and while I drew a slash on today's date, I glanced at the red circle drawn on the grid next door, with the word [Summer Vacation] written on it.

That's right, tomorrow is the long-awaited summer vacation.

And my relationship, with no progress at all... or a little bit of regression, ushered in the end of a semester.

Probably, this love affair is about to end.

I lay weakly on the table, the wind blowing from the open window messed up my hair one after another, and I was not in the mood to take care of it, so I just let out a long sigh.

"It's simply impossible for Kasamatsu-san to like me..."

When faced with this reality, I would hug my friends and cry, thinking not to give up no matter what, but now I not only don’t want to cry, I even want to give up.

Because, it is impossible.

Even when we meet every day, I can't get a good impression of him, especially after two consecutive days of such shameful dreams, I can't even talk to Kasamatsu-san properly, because there is a layer of separation. The distance between the films is getting farther and farther. On the last day before the end of the semester, that is, today, we didn't even say a word in school.

It's not working anymore, is it?

I said to myself, and buried my head deep in my arms.

From tomorrow to the end of the holiday, in a month's time, I can't even think of an excuse to meet Yukio Kasamatsu.

"Ahhh... I really want to rewind the tape!"

Back to the day when I first confessed to Yukio Kasamatsu.

Then, no matter what, the mouth that told the truth must be torn off.

When he was about to fall asleep, the phone on the table vibrated suddenly.

I was still in a bad mood, complaining in my heart who made the call at such an inappropriate time. Before I raised my head, I reached out to touch the source of the vibration. I didn't raise my eyes until I held the phone in my hand. One glance at the flickering mobile phone screen - the name of a friend written on it made me wake up a lot immediately.

"Hello, this is Tachibana Tsunade."

The customary polite greeting was greeted by the person on the other side of the receiver with extremely rude words and tone.

"Knowing that it's my call, why are you so serious! Really! I don't know why I'm worrying about you two! Ah! Really, really! I really want to leave you alone! It's easy to leave you alone and ignore everything La!"

"Uh... sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about..."

It was difficult to digest what my friend who yelled out such a long paragraph without panting at the beginning, I hesitated on the phone for a long time, but I decided to confess my ignorance. I thought I would be scolded by my friend, but She didn't do that.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that my friend's voice sounds very happy.

"Heh heh heh, anyway, you're not stupid for a day or two. I'm in a good mood today so I won't bother with you! Listen to me carefully! I won't repeat the next words a second time!"

Woohoo... This person is obviously on HIGH. He can turn a normally stable (!?) reliable friend into a guy who turns on a personality switch. All I can think of is that golden head. Suddenly I felt powerless, and I answered a few times in a coping manner.

"Okay, okay...I'm listening carefully, you can tell me."

"Since you said so, I'll tell you~ Information about your Kasamatsu-san~"

……etc! ?It's not Kise Ryota's, but Kasamatsu-san's! ?

"Eh!? I thought you'd be talking to me about Kise Ryota for an hour!"

On the other end of the phone, I also suddenly regained my energy. What I blurted out didn't have time to enter the brain processor to analyze whether it would anger my friend who was about to open the plot of increasing favorability for me. All I knew was that my hand holding the phone was shaking with excitement .

The one who said I wanted to give up a few minutes ago must be an illusion!

"I seem to have heard something very rude, Tachibana-san."

"No, no, that must be your illusion, my friend! No! Queen! Please tell this humble servant about Kasamatsu-san!"

"Foolish people, kneel down to Aijia, in this case, I can still consider whether to agree to your request."

You really played with me!

If it weren't for the fact that she is still separated by the phone, according to her friend's personality, she might have taken advantage of the situation and made me kneel down and lick her toes on the spot... I'm not doing this kind of thing!But...but...for Kasamatsu-san's words...

"I, can't I kneel! Tell me quickly!"

I gave in verbally, lying on the table and slapping the tabletop.

"For Kasamatsu-san, you're really cooperative... Hurry up and get married, I'm annoying you to death."

"Eh? What? Marriage? Who's getting married?"

"I said I want to marry Kise-kun and then leave you, idiot, and never care about you again!"

"...Aw, my friend, I seem to have heard your broken voice just now."

"Sorry, my mobile phone signal is not good and I have to hang up."

"I, I, I, I, I was wrong, don't hang up!!!!"

I really want to kneel down to my friend in the room. If this can’t save her from hanging up the phone, then I’ll rush downstairs to her house and kneel down to her. While thinking about it, a long sigh came from the receiver.

"You, you have no reason to see people during the summer vacation, right?"

"My friend, you are a god-man, and you can see through such a subtle thought!"

"Stop messing with me, do you still want to know about Kasamatsu-san?"

"I want to, of course I want to, how can I not want to!" I excitedly grabbed my phone and shouted to my friend, "Please tell me! My friend, you are my god, my goddess, my..."

"You are enough! Shut up and listen to me!"

Hearing the threat of "I'll hang up the phone if you dare to interject again" in my friend's tone, I immediately closed my mouth, pursed my lips and made a hmm sound.

"Very good... Although this is first-hand information from the Kise Ryota Club, it is absolutely credible... It is the basketball club's schedule for this year's IH National Competition, and the days of our school's games are written on it. I'll email it to you later."

Eh?Just the game schedule?

I thought it would be even more explosive news... I slumped in disappointment, and my friend who shouldn't have noticed the change in my expression seemed to see my face through the microphone and said, "Are you disappointed just now?"

"No, no, there is no such thing!" I immediately retorted, shaking my head.

"Hmph, if you say you're disappointed, I won't tell you about the bonus information."

Is there even a bonus?

"What!?"

"Ouch, don't you suddenly yell okay, your ears really hurt..." The friend's voice became a little blurred, but soon became clear again, "Bonus information is - on days when there are no games, you go to school in the morning In the gymnasium, you should be able to see Kasamatsu-san practicing."

While I was stunned for a moment, my friend then threw a blow that caused additional damage to my blood bar:

"And still alone."

To be honest, I didn't believe the additional information my friend gave me on the phone was true at first.

Although I didn't believe it, but with the mentality that the possibility is better than nothing, I rushed straight to the basketball gymnasium dedicated to the school club early the next morning.In the process of approaching the destination, I imagined the scene countless times. It was not Yukio Kasamatsu playing basketball with sweat, but the scene of my friend waiting for me outside the museum with a hideous face holding his goal.

... As a result, my imagination failed.

As soon as I could see the half-open gate of the gymnasium, I seemed to be able to hear the sound coming from it. The thumping sound of the basketball hitting the ground while dribbling echoed and expanded in the empty gymnasium.

In the Haichang Gymnasium in the morning of the summer vacation, there was only one person.

The man's sweat dripped from his face, neck, arms...all parts of his body, and the appearance of having to take a big mouthful of air to breathe smoothly proves that he has done a lot of exercise, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping , dribbled the ball from the basket back to outside the three-point line, turned around and made a jump shot, and the dropped basketball flew into the center of the target's basket.

Yukio Kasamatsu, who was practicing alone, looked so handsome that my little heart was somewhat restless.

The basketball that hit the rim bounced a few times on the floor and then rolled away in the opposite direction where Yukio Kasamatsu was. He trotted a few steps to catch up, bent down to pick up the ball, straightened up and glanced at the door inadvertently, probably It was because he didn't expect to see someone, and there was obvious surprise on his face.

"Tachibana... when did you start there?"

Sure enough, I was taken aback, not only because I appeared suddenly, but also because the person who appeared was me.

This is not very flattering me.

"Well, it's just arrived." I twisted the hem of the skirt with my fingers, and when I lowered my gaze, I saw Yukio Kasamatsu still wrapped in black silk... Oh no, it's the shin guard's leg, and I immediately felt my cheeks burn red ——Ah, no, no, no!I'm here to increase favorability, not to increase dislike!

Desperately trying to get rid of thoughts such as "Kasamatsu-san's absolute field is so beautiful today~" in my head, I coughed a few times to cover up.

"Ahem, I didn't expect to meet Kasamatsu-san in school after the summer vacation. What a coincidence~"

He stared at my face for a few seconds, with a helpless expression on his face, "[Coincidence] You can really say this kind of word..."

What Kasamatsu-san said was, how could such a thing happen to happen in school during the summer vacation!Especially for someone like me who has an ulterior motive, Kasamatsu-san must have seen through me at a glance!

But to be so frank, I always feel that I have lost, which is surprising and uncomfortable! ?

"Kasamatsu-san is hurtful to say that, what kind of person am I in your eyes?"

"..."

Hearing my question, Yukio Kasamatsu fell into deep thought.

"Pervert or something?"

...I want to die, no one can stop me!

The weather today is actually not bad, but at this moment, I only feel that the world has fallen into darkness and chaos. My body, which has lost all strength because of despair, slid down to the ground while holding on to the door frame. I sighed in my heart, "The world is so cruel" and "I Sure enough, you shouldn’t think that it’s so naive to think that you can increase your favorability by meeting Kasamatsu-san.” A low-pitched but still clear laugh came from the gymnasium.

The owner of the laughter is undoubtedly Yukio Kasamatsu himself. He holds the ball in one hand, and puts a half-disguised fist with the other hand to his mouth. Caused reddish.

I was laughed at, I was laughed at by Yukio Kasamatsu!

"...Kasamatsu-san is too much." I sat on the ground, muttering and complaining.

"Sorry sorry, because you are really interesting."

"Interesting or something, wouldn't it be rude to describe a woman like that?"

"Are you female...?" I always felt that Kasamatsu-san who said that glanced at me with a slightly subtle expression?

Well I got it I got it!I'm a pervert, but I'm not like an ordinary gentle and pleasant girl, it's fine!

I scratched the wall in my heart and went crazy countless times, but my face returned to the usual calm, I gave up struggling and resistance, and I no longer had any hope of restoring my image in Kasamatsu Yukio's mind, I sighed and stood up from the floor , patted the non-existent dust on the skirt, and walked into the hall.

"It might be better if Kasamatsu-san doesn't think of me as a woman..." I said to myself, and suddenly realized that what I said seemed to be correct, "Speaking of which, Kasamatsu-san has slight gynophobia, if you don't treat If I'm a girl, you don't have to be afraid of me, do you?"

Ahhh, this might be a good way!

Right now, what separates Kasamatsu-san and me is this wall called [Slight Gynophobia], right?As long as this wall disappears, we can take the opportunity to shorten the distance between us, and when we get closer, let alone chasing Kasamatsu-san, even more so-and-so things will surely come to fruition!

"...You idiot."

"Eh?" I looked at Kasamatsu-san, who suddenly complained about me, with a look of surprise, "Why... does Kasamatsu-san know mind reading skills!?"

"I've said everything I said just now, so let me be a little self-conscious!"

After saying this, Kasamatsu-san stopped looking at me, and he refocused his attention on the basketball in his hand and the basketball hoop in front of him.The state returned to before we had a conversation. I was planning to take a look and I didn't think there was anything wrong. Amid the rhythmic sound of the basketball, I walked to the sidelines and found a place to sit down.

Watching Yukio Kasamatsu throwing basketballs into the basket one by one from a closer distance than before is very enjoyable. Sometimes he will make some dribbles on the court to avoid the appearance of rushing into the basket, or by comparing Suddenly throwing a basketball in an awkward posture... In short, I am a layman and I don't understand the meaning of the training. Although I don't understand it, I still think it is very powerful.

Kasamatsu-san is really handsome...

I accidentally caught a glimpse of the black greaves on his legs again, and swallowed subconsciously.

It shouldn't matter if you steal or secretly take a picture, right?Kasamatsu-san is such a nice person, I won't mind such a trivial matter.

Comforting myself with unreliable reasons, I took out the mobile phone from the small bag next to me with trembling hands, aimed at Yukio Kasamatsu who was in a shooting pose, and pressed the shutter.

With a click, the handsome profile of that person was frozen in the center of the screen.

Because the distance is not very close, I took Kasamatsu-san's full body picture, beautiful pitching posture, serious side face, strong muscle lines, and a white leg exposed under the loose sports shorts, and below is The chief culprit who lured me into Yukio Kasamatsu’s swamp——Heisi, ah, no, it’s the greaves.

I swallowed again.

I really want to lick it, help me...

Just as I was thinking this, a basketball flew towards my head.

"Don't really lick it, you bastard!"
