[Black Basket + April] Raiders

?The cherry blossoms outside the window are in sevens and eights. The flowering period of the early cherry blossoms is over. The weather is gradually warming up, and the sun on the body is getting hotter and hotter day by day.Ayase Mukari, who had a premonition that the days ahead would be very busy, has been busy preparing and reviewing her homework recently. Not long after the dance competition ended, summerfes performances followed one after another. All the movements required for the performances needed to be designed by herself. And it takes a lot of time to practice.

Because I kept thinking about the progress and development in my mind, the mathematical calculations that were originally performed on the draft paper became stick figures making various actions as I wrote them.

"Little Ayase, you look so absent-minded!" Kise, who was passing by Ayase Twilight's table, saw the draft paper under her hands, half of which were numbers and formulas, and the other half were a group of very stupid and cute stick figures.

After hearing the sound, Ayase Mu came back to her senses, covered her face in frustration, patted it lightly a few times, and said depressingly, "I can't concentrate at all!"

"What's the matter, what's on your mind, little Ayase?" Ayase stretched her legs and sat on the stool in front of Ayase Kure, with her hands folded on the back of the chair, looking at Ayase Kure with interest.

"Summerfes' action design..." Ayase Kure propped up her chin and looked at Kise, brows knit together.

"Isn't it already practiced? It feels like everyone is in good shape." Kise raised one hand to support his chin.

"I still need to revise my movements. The movements of the band conductor are the face of the whole band. I must not embarrass the Teiko performance department." Ayase Twilight looked at the homework assignments on the blackboard with a firm expression on her face. All of a sudden, Matsushita breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is still half a month left for the performance, so the remaining time is enough to prepare." Kise looked at the frowning Ayase Mukari, and tried her best to comfort her.

"Enough!" Ayase Mukara patted her cheek again, "It can definitely be done."

"Of course, you are the best little Ayase in the world!" Kise stood up, reached out and rubbed the top of Ayase Mukari's head, and smiled lightly, "I have always believed in you!"

Ayase Mukari subconsciously raised her hand to hold the warm hand, held it lightly for two seconds, then let go, turned her head and smiled and said to him, "Of course!"

After that, Ayase Twilight started to practice harder, and went to ask her mother several times to discuss with her about the design and performance of movements, and she was full of energy for a while.

If you are willing to believe, then I will do my best not to let you down.

On a high platform on the rooftop, Kise Ryota lay on the concrete floor with his hands behind his head, basking in the sun boredly with his eyes closed, while Ayase Hatsune quietly sat beside him and read the songs played in the Summerfes show. score.

The weather is very good recently, Kise Ryo too likes to lie down and bask in the sun during recess.

"Kose, can you memorize your score by heart, and you can blow it down even if you need to cooperate with the movement?" Ayase pointed at the part of the saxophone in the score, and he was making sure that each part could be completed Task.

"Well, it's fine!" Kise Ryota opened his eyes, staring blankly at the slowly floating clouds in the sky. Occasionally, an unknown bird flew over the sky. Ayase Mukari has not been with him recently. We practiced together, and every day he would play pieces together with the band or seniors in the saxophone department. It was a bit boring, but he could already play the pieces very well.Only then did he feel how interesting the time when Ayase Mukari led him to practice.Because of her good technique, she can play music and instruments with him in many ways.

"You're making rapid progress..." Ayase first glanced at Kise Ryota, who was expressionless. Almost all the players who were almost beginners with him were rejected in the screening not long ago because they couldn't control their breath or The tone isn't good enough.But Kise Ryota has improved his skills to a level that many people find unbelievable in just these three weeks. His current skills are even better than those of the third-year Xiang Zhuang.Perhaps it has something to do with Ayase Twilight's dedicated training, but his own talent and learning ability cannot be ignored.

"Ah... I feel so boring without Ayase-chan!" Kise Ryota remained expressionless, "Sure enough, things will be more interesting if there are people who are better than me!"

"Then you can spend more time to make your movements more standard and better-looking. Xiao Mu has been practicing this recently, and you can ask her to guide you!" Ayase looked down at the score in her hand, As a person who is also very talented in some fields, he understands Kise Ryota's thoughts.

"...I didn't think about studying this aspect. After the performance, little Ayase will come back to play the saxophone?" Kise Ryota slightly turned his head to look at Ayase.

"Well, after all, she is the chief of the saxophone department, and she will be very important in future performances," Ayase Haruta deliberately encouraged Kise Ryota, and at the same time, thinking of her sister's instructions, she deliberately shaped her image to be glorious and tall, what did she think of As if turning around and looking at Kise Ryota, "You really can't do without Xiaogure now?"

"Huh?" Kise Ryo was too stunned. After thinking about it, she really felt unmotivated because she often couldn't practice with herself recently. It was hard to find something interesting, and she felt bored because her best opponent was not around. , "Yeah, I feel a little boring when she's not here! It's like returning to the state before I joined the wind section."

"Oh...it's like this." Ayase first rubbed her sore eyes, lay down and covered her face with the sheet music in her hand.When Xiao Mu heard this, she didn't know whether she would be happy or disappointed.

The two men lay quietly, the sun was very comfortable on their bodies.

"Have it?"

"Ah? Not here! But I heard that Kise-kun likes to come to the rooftop very much recently!"

Slight footsteps, and then the sound of a girl's conversation.

"Is your news accurate? I dressed up specially this morning!"

"Of course it's accurate. I was told by a senior in the performance department! Kise likes to come to the rooftop recently."

Ayase had never liked to gossip about others, but when he heard them mention the wind section, and inexplicably felt that one of the voices sounded familiar, he moved the sheet music covering his face away.The momentary direct sunlight on his eyes made him feel a little uncomfortable, and some tears welled up in his eyes, he wiped them with his hands and glanced at them quietly.

Akemi Sawada?The girl who played the trumpet part the best was not particularly outstanding in appearance, because Ayase first had an impression of her because she played the trumpet very well. Summerfes Show She is the first trumpet player.

"The girl in your playing department who got close to him recently! She seems to be very beautiful!" The other girl frowned, with a worried and sad expression on her face. Tucked in, the round face looks cute.

"Ayase Twilight?" Akemi Zetian certainly knew who she was talking about, her eyes drifted, "Yes, she is very beautiful! She can play the piano, the saxophone is good and she can dance!"

Ayase first saw Kise Ryota, who hadn't reacted to the conversation about him below, opened her eyes, looking lightly at the girls under the high stage.

"So what, who said that she will be promising in the future?" The girl's voice suddenly raised a bit, and she was just frowning, but she couldn't help being a little annoyed when she heard Zetian praise her rival in love like this. "So what if she knows these things? Who knows what she will do in the future? Who knows that after learning so many things, she won't rely on her face and body to earn a good life. You see, she looks aloof all day long. For who to show, she can smile so happily when walking with Kise! You can tell that she is interested in Kise if you have eyes! But why does she stand beside Kise so proudly!"

The voice was sharp, and the words were spoken more and more forcefully, and the last word fell, and the girl's eyes were red.

The entire rooftop fell silent, and Ayase Chu only felt a little pain in her temples, and covered her palms in front of her eyes to block the glare of the sun.

Kise Ryota frowned deeply, and glanced at Ayase Hatsue, who was not responding, her body, which was about to react, suddenly didn't know how to react.

"Xiangli..." Akemi Zetian covered her mouth and looked at the angry girl opposite. She didn't know that jealousy would make a person into such a terrifying appearance, "Yyase Mu is not what you said girl."

"Okay, I hope Huang Lai won't be blind enough to fall in love with her!" The girl named Xiang Li said in a deep voice.

"Shut up!" Ayase sat up, staring at the girl who spoke with cool eyes.

Unexpectedly, there were people lying on the high platform, Xiangli and Zetian were stunned, and looked at Ayase Chu in panic, and Kise Ryota who sat up next to him with a serious expression.

His gaze touched Kise Ryota's cold-looking cheek, and his eyes widened in surprise, his face gradually paled.

"Ayase-san..." Akemi Zetian's voice was a little trembling, and she said cautiously, "We...we..."

"Student Zetian from the trumpet department, right? The news you got is indeed correct, but I don't like others to disturb me." Kise looked at Zetian who was crying and at a loss, and said lightly, "As for Xiao Ayase, please understand her before you make a comment. I know her better than you, so you don’t need to worry about me. Thank you for liking me, but please respect the friends around me.” The last few words are Said to the pale Xiangli.

"Ayase-san..." Akemi Sawada looked at Hatsu Ayase with flustered eyes.

"You guys go away." Ayase glanced at her for the first time.

Akemi Zetian's eyes dimmed all of a sudden, she turned around with her head down, and held Xiangli back, "Let's go."

"I won't take my anger out on someone who is not wrong..." Ayase looked at Zetian's somewhat disappointed back.

Zetian was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Ayase who was in a daze with downcast eyes, said thank you softly, and hurriedly dragged down the roof with a dejected expression.

Only Hatsue Ayase and Ryota Kise were left on the rooftop for a moment and fell into deep silence.

"Don't mention such a thing to Xiaogure," Ayase Hatsue still lowered her eyes, showing no emotion, "Maybe she doesn't care, but no one likes this kind of thing."

"Ah, I know." Kise Ryota nodded, "Little Ayase, she once mentioned to me that she heard people talking about her behind her back... Actually, she is also very troubled."

"Well, it's not as harsh as what I just said, it's just that she is arrogant and arrogant." Ayase first recalled what the girl named Xiangli said again, "They easily deny other people's hard work and hard work with their mouths open A selfish and narrow heart to speculate and guess what other people think. Of course they don’t know what kind of pain and suffering she has earned her brilliance. I am willing to work hard to be better than her, and I am more suitable to stand side by side with you than her. However, if you have not put in the slightest effort, what qualifications do you have to stand here and imagine how good you will be after you work hard. Human heart, sometimes it is so complicated and difficult ugly."

Kise Ryo was too silent, and asked after a while: "Listen to what you said just now, little Ayase really likes me?"

"..." Ayase raised his eyes and looked at Kise, and said those words casually just now, he didn't quite understand how Kise Ryota understood this meaning, he only knew that if Ayase Mukari knew himself If she leaked her thoughts, he would be finished. He forced his gaze to look away as if nothing had happened, and he chuckled, "No, why do you think so!"

"Oh..." Kise looked meaningfully at the distant sky and agreed, unable to express how it felt after hearing this sentence.

"I think it's more reliable for you to fall in love with Kogure first!" Ayase didn't know what Kise Ryota's long "oh" meant in the first day of his life, and he was speculating in his heart while testing Kise's meaning.

"Huh?" Kise turned to look at Ayase, thought for a while, then said with a light smile, "It would be nice if that is the case, little Ayase is a great girl! You Putting it this way, I think I can train her as a future love object!"

Oh... so he has never thought about Ayase Twilight?Ayase felt a little annoyed at first.

"As long as you don't bring too much trouble to her life." Ayase Chuyi didn't know how to answer for a while, whether to firm his mind or let him dismiss it, it seemed that it was not easy to answer.

Kise Ryota remembered what the girl said just now, he didn't know if he would really trouble her, but he actually liked staying with Ayase Twilight.

"Xiao Chu, are you a sister-in-law?" Kise Ryota looked at Ayase Chu with a sudden smile.

"En..." Ayase nodded, with firm eyes, an expression that my sister is my whole world.

"..." Kise Ryota laughed, he thought that Ayase would struggle or admit it tactfully, but he didn't expect him to admit it so frankly.

Ayase was slightly taken aback, then stroked her forehead and smiled, yes, no matter whether she admits it or not, Ayase Kure is his favorite and most important sister.

Kise Ryota stood up from the ground with one hand on his hands, stretched his waist facing the sun with his eyes closed, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, he raised his hand to rub his eyes, turned around and saw Ayase Hatsuya also stood up, and looked at him with his back Looking at a corner at the bottom of the building, with a smile on his face, following his gaze, he saw the back of the teaching building, a place where few people go, Ayase Twilight held the baton in one hand, jumped up gracefully, dropped the baton and stopped On the wrist, with a flexible turn of the wrist, the baton spun around her wrist, drew a circle quickly, and finally stopped in her hand again.After doing this, she stopped to rest for a while, and when she raised her hands to cover her eyes and looked up at the sky, she caught a glimpse of two figures standing on the roof, their faces could not be seen clearly against the light behind them, but their eyes touched the sun shining like With golden yellow hair, Ayase Twilight smiled.

"Little Ayase, it's great!" Kise Ryota put his hands around his mouth and shouted towards Ayase Mukara downstairs.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Ayase Mukari imitated Kise Ryota's appearance and shouted back at him. Turning to see her brother, he raised his hands, which is a rhythmic gesture during a normal ensemble. She understands what he means, now All the voices are up to the task, the only thing missing is the directing part.

Ayase Mukari lowered her head and took a deep breath, raised her face and smiled, and held the team flag straight with both hands. Ayase Hatsumi waved her arm four times in the air. The four-four shots started and the last shot fell. Ayase was ready Twilight moved.

Under the sun, Ayase Mukari had a confident smile on her face, her eyes were looking straight ahead, her slender legs were dancing lightly, and the baton of the wind section was dancing between her hands.

There was a wind blowing, the last remaining petals on the cherry tree on the back of the teaching building fell with the wind, her feet were like the eyes of the wind, the petals were swirling under her feet, the skirt fluctuated in the wind, white The skin tone, the well-proportioned leg lines are stained with warm colors by the sun.

Kise Ryota looked down at her dancing in the wind, unlike that night when her makeup was delicate and colorful like a doll displayed in a window, at this moment she is fresh, agile, and breathtakingly beautiful, which makes people feel a kind of Wanting to watch her jump like this until the end of time, and wanting to go to her and hug her gently, somewhere in the heart is like a huge bronze bell that has been hit, panicked, tense, and the calm lake suddenly ripples, Is that the throbbing of youth? ?
