Seishiro Akaji wore the uniform of Rakuyama High School, a dark gray suit with a darker undertone. This deep hue fits well with his sedate temperament, but it doesn't look too cold like pure black.

Seeing this school uniform, she still feels very familiar.

After all, because of Uragaki Kiyohe's work, he studied in the middle school and elementary school affiliated to Luoshan University, and he saw this rather stylish and more mature uniform of the Ministry of Higher Education at that time.

Maji put a plate of chestnut cake and a cup of freshly prepared cappuccino on the table, "Zhengjun, these two are the signature of the store, let's try them!" ”

Seijuro Akaji took a sip of coffee first, "The taste is very unique. ”

Although he knows the taste of expensive coffee well, he is not a picky person. Even if you rarely go in and out of such small shops, you will not scoff at these "common people's food" or make a fuss, but just evaluate it truthfully.

Within a few words of the first meeting, Maki already knew why Seishiro Akaji, who was studying in Kyoto, was here. He now lives alone in the Kyoto Annex, but when his uncle Akaji Seisho has something important to do, he still has to return to the main residence in Tokyo at any time. Today happened to be dealt with quickly, so I stopped by the real season to take a look.

Although it is not as frequent as his best friend Momoi May, Maki and Seijuro Akaji also occasionally talk on the phone.

Seishiro Akaji put down the white porcelain cup and mentioned it casually, "I went to visit Mr. Shinobu Tomoya for my father a few days ago. ”

"Huh?" Maki blurted out a puzzle, only to remember that the Shinobu family is a Kansai clan, and Akaji Seijuro, as the heir of the Akaji family, happens to be studying in Kyoto, and it is natural for Shinobu Yuya to visit the hospital. She rolled her eyes, stuck out her tongue and asked, "Why did Zhengjun say this to me?" Could it be that you met Sister Nana there? ”

She also calls Erina-sama "big sister" when she is with Ninja Yushi and Shinobu Kenya, and occasionally plays with the call "King", and usually calls "Sister Nana" in a regular manner.

Sure enough, I heard a positive reply.

Seishiro Akaji said calmly, "That's right, I think Mr. Shinobu values her very much. ”

"Oh~ Yes, this Uncle Youya has always taken good care of Sister Huan Nana, and when she chose a college major, this uncle also helped her to refer to it." Zhenji put his thumb on his chin, thought for a while and said, "But it's normal for elders to like smart juniors, aren't you the same?" ”

The young man Akaji Seijuro, who didn't think he was very likable, smiled noncommittally, and after hearing Maji's words, he seemed to think for a few seconds before saying, "Please refer to him, and he should give advice on studying business." ”

"Huh?" It was said to be right. Although they are barely relatives, they are all people with outstanding abilities, but after all, they are not the same age, and there is no intersection between Seijuro Akaji and Erina Shinobu Foot, and Maki opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

As if sensing Maji's surprise, Seijuro Akaji gave an explanation: "His only daughter was once a top student in business. ”

This Uncle Yuya admired Shinobu in his early years, and Maki vaguely knew that he had done Shinobu and his wife a great favor back then, so Maki was quite familiar with him.

However, Zhengjun knows too much detail, right?

Just when Maki was full of suspicion, Akaji Seijuro folded his fingers, and opened his mouth with a light in his eyes.

"Back then, the method of forbearance was once praised by many people as 'Little Thousand Cranes'."

Whew, no wonder.

Because I once mentioned it with my great-grandmother, I noticed it.

Maki herself had slandered Lord Erina if she had been born decades earlier, she would have been able to fight that Lady Chizuruko, but this was just her personal complaint, but she didn't expect that this cousin of the ninja was already praised as having the demeanor of Chizuruko Akaji.

Seijuro Akaji didn't say anything about it, but looking at his expression, Maki knew that he wasn't just saying it was a retelling, at least he wasn't denying it.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a woman is at the helm of a large chaebol like the Akaji clan and has ambitiously expanded the business territory, creating a golden age for the Akaji family. Some people say that she is a natural careerist, some people say that she is as greedy as a fierce falcon and does not know how to be satisfied, and some people say that she is a rare genius in a hundred years. In short, after nearly a century, the smoke of the "Crimson Storm" has not completely dissipated.

Even though Maki's family has long since withdrawn from the power center of the Akaji clan, she is also very familiar with this famous great-grandmother. can be openly compared with Chiji Chizuruko, it can be seen that the method of forbearance is by no means a good stubble.

But......

Without waiting for Maki to speak, Seishiro Akaji slowly threw out a sentence that was not light: "According to my observation, Mr. Shinobu intends to cultivate Shinobu Erina. ”

He didn't say it very clearly, but Zhenji and he have known each other since childhood, so this unfinished meaning is naturally not a problem, but she didn't pay much attention to these things, so she pouted and said casually: "They are real distant relatives, even if this sister has passed away for many years, if it is only about blood, Uncle Youya still has a sister." ”

The Ninja family is not as thin as the Akaji family, and I heard that when they went to their house for the New Year, the Ninja family was often pestered by more than five children to draw cards and play. The blood relationship between them and their own family has long been estranged, even if they are not as big as the family over there, the children have their own strengths, and there is no need to stare at others to envy them.

Probably because he happened to meet Shinobu Erina for the first time recently, that Seijuro Akaji would talk a little more about this topic, and then talk a few more about other topics, and Maki was about to leave these things behind.

The tableware in the store is custom-made, and the handle of the spoon is painted with a fat bear sticking out its tongue as if it is about to crawl to lick the snack in the spoon.

Seishiro Akaji held the white porcelain spoon and pressed his index finger against the tip of the bear's tongue, as he hadn't scooped up the chestnut cake on the plate, as if he had been licked by the fat bear.

Maki blinked and looked at him, with the face of Seishiro Akaji, as long as he ate quietly, he looked weirdly cute...... If he swept his eyes, he could probably only reluctantly admit it...... Belch...... Trembling cute?

Although Maki is not surnamed Akaji, he is a typical appearance of the Akaji clan. And Seijuro Akaji is more like his mother Shiori Akaji, born with a baby face.

"Are there any interesting people in the Luoshan basketball club?"

Maki doesn't ask questions like "Are you okay in Rakusan?" because it's purely polite to Seishiro Akaji, and she knows that he is already merciful if he doesn't let others do bad. As for whether to ask about the strength of the Luoshan basketball club, she has already heard from Momoi May, not counting Seijuro Akaji, there is already a suspicion of hanging, okay?

Hearing this very "Maji-style" question, Seijuro Akaji also replied with great interest: "Reiyang, Kotaro, Nagayoshi...... It's all fun. ”

When he said the word "interesting", the corners of his mouth hooked up a graceful arc, and it seemed that what he said was true.

Maki is a very impatient guy.

It's also a sister who once only appeared on weekends.。

Before the age of ten, she often came to Akaji's house, just to catch up on his weekend classes. It's a positive thing to say, but it's just three days of fishing and two days of drying nets to the extreme, come when you want, go when you want, although she didn't say it explicitly, but after a few times, Seishiro Akaji summed up her judgment criteria - interesting.

If he thinks it's funny, he will say to his mother Shiori Akaji, "Yukimaru is so interesting, Aunt Yeh, I'll wait for me next week", and if it's not fun, he will wink at him and "hey, hey", and it won't appear next time.

But since the death of his mother, Shiori Akaji, she has never been here.

"If you have time, you can come to Luoshan to have a look, and you can also visit your former teacher, if you have this plan, tell me first." Seijuro Akaji helped her arrange other matters in advance as if she had told Maki that there was a class she liked next week, "If I'm busy with club activities and part-time jobs now, I'll see you in the summer." ”

Summer is a great time for sports clubs, as the national competitions are largely held at this time.

Seishiro Akaji's admission to InterHigh is not a must-win thing, but a completely "deserved to be" attitude.

Zhenji knows that the Ice Emperor School Tennis Club is also a national-level hero, and Keigo is by no means a low-key person, but to be honest, she feels that Keigo Keigo has no preparation for "losing", but it is not like Zhengjun who denies "losing".

Ah, I wonder if these two people have ever met?

There must be, after all, they are all heirs of famous families, even if the relationship between the two families is against each other because of their grandfather, they have to meet a few times, so they won't always be the king and not the king, right?

As he was leaving, Maki sent Seijuro Akaji to the door, and Seijuro Akaji slowly stretched out his bony fingers.

This was originally the way she said goodbye to Seishiro Akaji every time she was still "Akaji Maji". She would always throw out her arms before leaving, and the first time she thought that this sister was reluctant to hug her, girls often do this, but she actually slapped his hand the moment he stretched out his hand, and then walked away with a dimple smile.

Her fingertips snapped over her.

"Goodbye, Zhengjun."

-- Like a kite with a broken string.

Seijuro Akaji always studied in Kyoto, and Maki's situation with the Luoshan basketball club is still just hearsay. After meeting Seishiro Akaji, the next day it was the end of the ice emperor tennis club's on-campus qualifying tournament, and after nearly two weeks of busy work on this matter, it was finally coming to an end.

The other two managers were very interested in the final showdown on the last day, even if they didn't have their class on this day, they still ran over excitedly, and they were embarrassed to really run over just to watch the game, so they simply helped Zhenji finish their work together and pulled her to the arena together.

Of course, there was more than one game on the last day, but on the other courts, except for the two sides of the duel, the number of onlookers was simply bleak. Only the middle of the field was surrounded by members, and there were also many girls outside the stadium, which was crowded, almost making Maki think that he was at the venue of the national competition.

After all, they have been busy for a while, and the match has already reached the third round.

"Huh? Actually lost two games......"

The other manager hurriedly smiled and gave an elbow slap, "Hey, your malice towards the forbearance seniors is simply too strong!" Don't do that! If you want to say that the predecessor of the trace department, Wu Yun Changlong, won two games in a row, haha. ”

True Season: "......"

I really want to light a snow-white candle for Yushi.

The third round was already over while speaking, and the poor ninja boy couldn't win a game at halftime. The halftime break of the intramural qualifying round was just a time to catch his breath, he picked up a towel and wiped the beads of sweat that kept dripping, and deliberately adjusted his breathing before he finally eased up.

My arm was a little sore, and I didn't notice it for a while, and a drop of sweat slipped down to the corner of my eye.

Picking up a clean wet towel and wiping it, the footman blinked his slightly dry eyes vigorously, and looked forward, feeling that his vision was still a little blurry. Fortunately, after more than ten seconds, he finally returned to normal, and in order to test his eyesight, he casually swept around the field.

I saw Maki Uragaki standing with two girls.

The forbearance man had a flash of inspiration.

Just now, he had been pressed and beaten by Keigo of the trace, and he was a little caught off guard Most of his energy was focused on the game, and now that he came back to his senses, he finally figured out what Uncle Jibe was crazy about.

Of course, he knew that Keigo was not the one who released the water, but he didn't have to cut him so desperately, right?

The shattered wheel dance music, Tang Huaiser's serve, and the ice world one after another, almost made him think that Uncle Jibu had a bad eye today, and saw him as Tezuka Kunimitsu.

…… Sure enough, uncle, his joke is not something you can make if you want to.

…… Isn't it just that he mocked him the day before yesterday and didn't dare to say it out loud if he wanted to hear "Ernie sauce", and today there is really the price of blood.

As the only person in the Ice Emperor Academy's tennis club who dared to take the initiative to die in front of the trace department Jingwu,Patience took a deep breath again,Now that you know the reason,,There's no need to take time out of your brain to make up for what the uncle of the trace department has been stimulated。 Shinobu looked up and saw that Keigo had already picked up the racket and re-entered the court, with an inevitable smile on the corner of his mouth, and another snap of his fingers, and there was an immediate response from outside the court.

"Ice Emperor! Ice Emperor! ”

"Traces! Traces! ”

It's still very noisy.

Shinobu shrugged helplessly, lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, turned his wrist, and slowly walked into the arena.

He glanced at Keigo Keibe, and carried forward his fine tradition of not dying if he didn't die, and swept away the field as if unintentionally, and immediately put on a provocative smile of unknown meaning.

Keigo Keibe is so observant, it's not been a day or two since I've known him, and I believe that Uncle Keibe will definitely be able to receive his profound meaning accurately.

With the goal of death, the forbearance soldier rarely ignited some fighting spirit.

The interest of the trace department is so high.

But......

The lenses without prescription flashed a sharp reflection.

He's not a man to be caught with his hands tied.
