[Black Basket + April] Raiders

?In the next week, in the class, Ayase Twilight and Ayase Hatsune seemed to be living an ordinary life, but inside the performance department, a storm was gaining momentum, ready to erupt, sweeping every corner of the campus.

Ayase Twilight sat quietly on the roof of the teaching building, looking at the distant sky and wondering what she was thinking, shaking her calf once and for all.Thick clouds cover the sky unevenly, like layers of fish scales. It is clearly at the highest place in the school, but it doesn't feel closer to the sky. Is it because I am not standing high enough?

"Little Ayase?"

Ayase Mukari turned her face and saw Kise Ryota walking towards her, and finally sat down beside her.

"Kise-kun," Ayase Kure was a little surprised, and felt a little relieved when he remembered that he didn't seem to have joined any club yet, "Have you decided which club to join yet?"

"Nothing... I feel like doing nothing interesting..." Kise Ryota folded his hands behind his head, looking up at the sky with a distressed expression on his face, "By the way, don't you need to participate in club activities now, little Ayase?"

"I remember that your address to your brother is also Little Ayase," Ayase Twilight turned to look at Kise Ryota's side face, "Then if we are together, how will you distinguish between the names we call us?"

"Hey, you are little Ayase, and he is Xiaochu?" Kise Ryota scratched his head and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, turned to look at Ayase Mukari, "You haven't answered me yet, why didn't you go?" Participate in club activities, I remember that you are also in the flute department, just like Xiaochu."

Sure enough, the label should still be Ayase Hatsumi's younger sister instead of Ayase Kure, Ayase Kure thought silently, feeling a little depressed.

"Because my task has been completed very well," Ayase Twilight looked down at her slightly shaking calf.

"Ah, little Ayase is really good too! By the way, what kind of musical instrument does little Ayase play?" Kise Ryota lowered his eyes and glanced at Ayase Kure's slender fingers.

"Saxophone." The corners of Ayase Twilight's lips curled up, and her mood would be inexplicably better when she mentioned the instrument.

"Ah? Is it a saxophone? I thought it was the same piano as Xiaochu!" Kise Ryota scratched his head.

"Actually, that's right. My brother and I are majoring in piano, but I have one more minor, which is saxophone." Ayase Momo noticed Kise Ryota's gaze resting on her fingers, raised her hand in the He wavered in front of him, "Yes, my fingers are very long, right? But I can't play as well as my brother, so I minored in one more musical instrument than him."

"Yeah, Ayase, your hands and Hatsu's are both beautiful!" Kise Ryo laughed too much.

"Yes." Ayase Momo was stunned for a moment, then retracted her hand resentfully, rubbed her nose, and smiled silently.

The three sentences are not far from Xiaochu, and Ayase Mukari began to wonder if he was wrong. After all, his brother is such an excellent person, so he rashly threw him out as a brick. What should I do if I leave with the stone in my arms.Ayase Twilight couldn't help laughing, admiring her own brain.

"Little Ayase, what are you laughing at? You suddenly started laughing like this." Kise Ryota turned his face and glanced at Ayase Mu.

"No, it's nothing." Ayase Twilight waved her hand quickly, how could she say what was on her mind.

Kise Ryota didn't ask too many questions, and continued to look at the distant sky with his hands on the back of his head.

"Hey, Kise-kun, do you want to consider joining the performance club?" Ayase Twilight turned to glance at the bored Kise Ryota, and asked tentatively.

"Ah... Actually, I have thought about it. After all, there are excellent people like you and Xiaochu in the playing department, but I don't know which instrument I am suitable for." The expression on Kise Ryota's face looked a little serious , "Perhaps the piano is good. The appearance of Xiaochu playing the piano on the first day of school really attracted me, but there seems to be no piano group in the performance department."

"Ah... like this, besides the piano, there are actually a lot of instruments to choose from in the performance department." Regarding the fact that Kise Ryota is actually quite interested in the performance department, Ayase Twilight is very happy, "Hey, I will play in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. There will be a concert in the department, you can come and see it if you are free."

"The recital?" Kise Ryota glanced at Ayase Twilight with some surprise, "Will Ayase and Hatsuo attend?"

"Of course, my brother is the conductor." Ayase Twilight chuckled.

"Commander? Will the seniors in the performance department be willing to obey him as a conductor?" Kise Ryota doesn't doubt Ayase's ability, but every club has more or less old-fashioned seniors who have a heavy concept of age.

"Of course, almost no seniors are willing to accept him as a conductor," Ayase Twilight looked at the distant sky, "So, all the musicians in this concert are first-year freshmen."

"All the staff are freshmen?" Kise Ryota was even more surprised, "Can the technology keep up?"

"Almost, this year because of my brother, many freshmen with basic musical skills have joined the performance department." Ayase Twilight smiled lightly, "The performance department will soon undergo a huge change, do you believe it? The leader of the revolution is the brother."

Ayase Twilight smiled lightly, with a kind of absolute pride, trust in her brother and absolute confidence in herself.Looking at her expression, Kise Ryota felt that she was so radiant at this moment, turned around and continued to hold the back of her head, with a very expectant smile and tone, said: "Of course I believe it, I always think Xiao Ling Both Se and Hatsu are very powerful people."

Ayase Twilight turned to look at Kise Ryota for a while, then suddenly smiled, the smile was like the sea breeze blowing from the Pacific Ocean in July, with the smell of sea water and warm touch.

"Then Kise-kun, will you consider joining the performance club in the future?" Ayase Mukari asked seemingly casually, but she couldn't help but look forward to it in her heart, waiting nervously for his answer.

"Yes, wait until I find the instrument I want to learn." Kise Ryota turned his face to Ayase Twilight and showed a bright smile, "If it is the instrument you know, little Ayase, please teach me well."

"Of course..." Ayase Twilight smiled, and her heart was already cheering, "I still have to go to the music section, Kise-kun, do you want to stay for a while?"

"No, let's go down with you." Kise Ryota got up first, stood in front of Ayase Mu, and stretched out a hand towards her.

Kise Ryota, who is 171 in height, stood in front of Ayase Mulan. Ayase Mulan looked up at him, and felt that he was standing in front of her with the light behind him. At this moment, he was even more dazzling than the brightest sunshine.

Reaching out to hold his hand, Kise Ryota pulled her up.

I don't want much, just sit and chat with you and watch you laugh.

Ayase Twilight sat outside the rehearsal hall of the wind performance department, closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the ensemble inside, her part was already perfectly integrated with the whole band, so Ayase first excluded her from the ensemble temporarily, occasionally there would be The seniors from the playing department came to see their ensemble, and he didn't want to expose everything to them.

After a while, the sound in the rehearsal hall became noisy, and Ayase Mukari knew that the ensemble was over, and the next rehearsal was the last rehearsal tomorrow, and finally only waited for the open-air performance the day after tomorrow afternoon.

"Let's go, Kogure." Ayase Chu walked out of the rehearsal hall, although his face had a calm expression, but he couldn't hide the tiredness in the corners of his eyes and brows.

"Thank you." Ayase Twilight handed a can of coffee to Ayase Chu, "Is today's ensemble going well?"

"It's not bad. It's better than I expected. Tomorrow, we'll find an outdoor open space to play as a whole." Ayase Chu pulled off the ring of the can, raised her head and took a sip, "Let's go, go home."

"Okay." Ayase Muru stood shoulder to shoulder with his brother, "Brother, I regret throwing you out first."

"What?" Ayase turned her face and glanced at her, and then figured out what she was talking about in the next second, and smiled helplessly, "Is that so, it was me that Kise fell in love with in the end?"

"Hmph! It will be me, it will definitely be mine!" Ayase Momo made a grimace at his brother.

After arriving home, it was already time for dinner, and his parents were already waiting at the dining table. Ayase Haru took Ayase Twilight and hurried into the bathroom to wash his hands before sitting on the dining table.

"Are you busy with club activities?" Father was reading the unfinished newspaper in the morning, and looked up at Ayase Hatsue.

"Yeah, there is a concert the day after tomorrow afternoon, and I finally got the chance to apply." Ayase glanced at the plate in front of Ayase Mukami for the first time. There were only some vegetable and fruit salads, eggs and a glass of milk in it. A little unhappy, but didn't say much.

Ayase Kure poked the fruits and vegetables on the plate with her chopsticks and sighed.

"Xiaogure, you can't be so casual at the dinner table." Seeing Ayase Kure's behavior, the mother said slightly displeased.

"Understood." Ayase Mukari stopped the movements of his hands, and stuffed a cherry tomato into his mouth.

She is used to only eating these things every night. In order to keep in shape, as a dancer, her mother insists on only letting her eat these things every night.

After slowly eating the food on the dinner plate, Ayase Murui said softly, "I've finished eating, and I'm going to practice my kung fu."

"Remember next week's game, don't let me down." Mother said lightly.

"Oh, I see." Ayase Twilight's voice sounded deep.

Silently, Ayase Hatsune watched Ayase Twilight lazily go upstairs with her hands behind her back.

"Mom, can't Xiaogure be allowed to do what she likes?" After Ayase Muru went upstairs, Ayase Chu's expression darkened.

"It's not like you don't know, Xiaogure's conditions are very suitable for dancing, which is her most talented field," the mother looked up at Ayase for the first time, "The Ayase family doesn't need two pianists, let alone on the piano. It seems that you are more talented than her, and you want her to be below you for the rest of her life? Look at the back of her chasing you all her life. Xiao Chu, you should understand these things better than me. "

Ayase Chu lowered his eyes, his eyes flickered, of course he understood.What his mother said was right, he just didn't like to watch Ayase Kure keep compressing his sleep time every day in order to be able to practice the piano and meet his mother's expectations at the same time.

"But when Xiaogure is still growing up, wouldn't it be too much to just let her eat these every day!" Ayase first took a look at the clean food eaten by Ayase Mu, even though she didn't like it, she still couldn't help it because she was hungry. Eat clean.

"Basic nutrition can be supplemented. If you want to become a top dancer, your figure is very important." The mother's voice is still faint, "I have come here since I was a child."

Ayase didn't speak anymore, just bowed her head in silence.

"I'm full, take your time." Ayase Chu got up and left the dining table, went upstairs and opened the door into the piano room.

The dark blue curtains in the piano room have been drawn, the crystal lamp in the center of the room is on, and the whole room is as bright as day. In front of the white grand piano, the girl is sitting quietly, looking intently at her fingers jumping on the keys. .The slow rhythm of the piano floated in the room, with a hint of depression and sadness.

"Hey, brother, why do you think I can't play as well as you?" Ayase Mukari didn't look at Ayase Chu, her eyes were completely focused on her hands.

Ayase Chu walked up to her sister and sat down, and Ayase Muru consciously moved a little to the side to make room for him.

"No, Kogure, you play very well. The rhythm is stable, almost as precise as a metronome." Ayase smiled faintly, looking down at her fingers.

"Brother, don't lie to me. I have never won against you in the competitions we participated in together. Although I have always understood that my piano lacks something very important compared to yours, probably because of feelings, but I don't understand, and I can't do it, I can integrate my own feelings into the song." Ayase Moore lowered her eyes, her mind was in a mess, not knowing what to say next, she could only grab the few words in her mind and say them casually, "Because I like my brother very much, so I also like the piano you like very much, brother."

"Xiaomu, my brother also likes you very much." Ayase Muru turned her face to look at her side face, so my brother wishes you happy, if I knew you would be so tired and hard now, I probably wouldn't choose to play the piano Come on, be an ordinary brother, not a genius that everyone puts high hopes on.

"Hey, brother, you said that if one day I can't handle everything, dancing, piano, and study. What should I do if my mother won't let me continue to play the piano." Ayase Twilight raised her head, her eyes were a little empty, Even if I don't look at the score or the keys, my fingers still play smoothly without a single wrong note.

"Xiaogure..." Ayase didn't know how to answer such a question. He knew that it was impossible for her to give up the piano, and his mother would never agree to ask her to give up dancing.

"Actually, it's nothing, I still have enough time now." Ayase Momo turned to look at his brother, and smiled at him, "When Kise is willing to join the performance department, I will teach him to play the saxophone!"

"Brother, do you still remember Mr. Arima?" Ayase Muru suddenly tilted his head and asked.

"I remember, but he hasn't participated in various competitions in recent years." Ayase looked at Mu Ayase curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Ayase Momo lowered her eyes, thought for a while, and said softly, "I miss Xiaoxun a little bit, I wonder if her health is better."

Ayase smiled and nodded, quietly listening to her chatting with him without saying a word, and after a long time, she went to take a bath and sleep under her urging.

At 12:30 in the middle of the night, Ayase got up to go to the bathroom. In the silent corridor, the corner was used as a dance room, and through the crack of the door, you could see that the lights were still on inside.Ayase first walked to the door of the room lightly, opened a crack of the door slightly, caught a glimpse of Ayase Twilight who was splitting, bent down, spinning and beating inside, felt a dull pain in her heart.

If you can take it easy, I'd rather never play the piano.Ayase closed the door and returned to her room.
