[Shocking Strawberry] For today's reunion

Only you and I want to run, would you like to partner with me? "Do you hate her, do you want to avoid her? Such worries are all in it.

Unexpectedly, Guangli asked her back: "Would you like to partner with me every night?"

"I, I..." Yeye was a little flustered, and said indiscriminately, "I don't know."

"Pfft." Guangli smiled softly, "No matter what the situation is, I am willing to partner with Yeye."

I have always been worried, thinking that there is a rift between the two, so I tried it.But Guangli's answer made these dissipate, Yeye was very happy, which was very important to her.

I heard Guangli ask again: "Did Suzuko tell you that she doesn't want to run?"

"Yes, she told you too?"

"Correct."

The two were silent for a while.Yeye expressed her opinion: "I don't think this is what she really thinks."

"I think so too. Suzuko, she yearns for Atwar. It's not that she likes Shizuma-sama, but that she has been working hard to become an existence like Atwar, supporting and guiding everyone. I She was also one of the people helped by her." Guangli seemed to be recalling carefully, "She said that she didn't want to be Atwal, I really don't believe it."

"Actually, among the three of us, I should be the least interested in participating in the general election."

"Hey, Yeye, don't you want to run for the election?"

"No, I don't care. I don't care whether I run for election or become Atwal. I just want to stay by your side, and if I can help you, that would be even better." She whispered softly, Speak your truest thoughts.

From the dark side of the hut, Guangli's words came: "Thank you, Yeye."

The two let go of the chat at this moment, and their voices became much louder.

"So the best ending is for you and Senior Sister Feng to run for the election."

"But I probably won't be able to convince Senior Tianyin. The deadline for registration is coming soon, and Senior Tianyin doesn't want to participate in the election anymore. She feels that she is not prepared."

"Actually, I don't understand. Why does senior sister Feng keep saying that she is not qualified? She is so good, no one is more qualified than her. Do you know the reason?"

The other side was silent, probably thinking.After a while, Guangli replied: "I probably know—Sister Tianyin told me that she joined the equestrian club thanks to the help of the previous Atwars. She thinks she is not as good as the Atwars." , I feel that I can’t match everyone’s expectations, so I say I’m not qualified.”

It turned out to be like this, Yeye rubbed her chin: "This is very important. In fact, I asked Mrs. Atwal to help persuade Sister Feng. I want to tell her about this, is it possible?"

"Master Shizuma?"

Yeye answered yes.

"Well, it's alright."

"Then let's go find her tomorrow, maybe Master Atwal can help us break the predicament."

"Okay... I'm afraid we won't be able to find her."

Yeye naturally has the same concerns.Master Atwal was absent from the retirement ceremony, and I don't know what happened again.Everything can only wait for the next day, go find her and try.

Early the next morning, Yeye and Guangli went upstairs together, and went to the senior dormitory in Miyattel to find Master Atwal.As soon as he turned the corner, he saw Miyatel's student council president, Rojo Miyuki-senpai——she was standing at the door of Master Atwar's dormitory, with a complicated expression and a very anxious look.

Yeye was still thinking about whether to go up to say hello, but Guangli had already spoken.

"Sister Liujo, good morning."

"Ah, classmate Zihua, why are you here?" You looked familiar, like a friend you've known for a long time.

Yeye looked surprised: When did you get so familiar! ?Does President Dongsen know?

Guangli told Miyuki their plan, and then asked, "Is Master Atwar in the dormitory? Can we go find her?"

"Well, I'm afraid there's no way..." Shenxue looked a little embarrassed, "In fact, since last night, she locked the door behind her back, and she can't come out no matter what."

Guangli and Yeye looked at each other subconsciously, making eye contact, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.

Ye Ye hurriedly asked: "Is there nothing wrong with her inside?"

"No, she responded anyway—albeit in a bad way."

He asked again: "Then what happened? We heard that Lord Atwal was not present at the ceremony yesterday afternoon."

"Alas..." Miyuki patted her forehead, as if regretting something.Then she pulled Yeye and Guangli to a corner where no one passed by.

"I said something was missing, let Shizuma know, and then it became like this..." She told about Shizuma's Atwar's partner, Hanaori's letter, Shizuma, Suzuko and Hana Weaving knew each other and briefly told the two of them.After listening, Yeye and Guangli were very surprised.

What a coincidence!

At this time, there was a noisy voice shouting from the other side of the corridor: "Six Presidents! Six Presidents!"

Miyuki leaned out from the corner, beckoned, and the owner of the voice came running up and down—it was Nana Mimori, who would have guessed it just by hearing the voice.Both Yeye and Guangli have joined the Dream Department, and Nana is also helping in the election, so the three of them are already familiar with each other.

Nana saw that it was Yeye and Guangli, so she didn't hide it, and said directly to Shenxue: "President Liujo, Sister Liuhua asked me to find you, and wanted me to tell you—we found something!"

Shenxue originally looked bitter and bitter, but when she heard the news, she immediately said, "Really? Where is it?"

"At Sakuragi-sama's former assistant physician."

"Then let's hurry over there."

It seemed that he didn't even care about Atwal, who was "in bad shape".Yeye and Guangli quickly grabbed Shenxue: "Are you leaving now?" "What's going on?"

Miyuki explained: "I sent someone to find out that Huaori left something, although I don't know what it is, but if I want to untie Shizuma's knot in Huaori's heart, I must start with things related to Huaori .I don’t know if what I found this time can be the key to solving the problem, but this is the only thing I can do.”

Yeye and Guangli let go, and Miyuki continued to say to the two: "You can try to tell Shizuma your plan, but I'm not sure if she will listen, and whether she can still help you as Atwar."

"We will try." Guangli took a step forward, "You can rest assured to find what Master Sakuragi left behind."

*She will go far away ([-])

Although he promised President Liujo that he would invite Master Atwar, but after Liujo left the school by car, Yeye and Guangli did not knock on the door of Atwar's dormitory rashly, but returned to their own dormitory.

"Shouldn't it be better for us to call Suzuko?" Guangli asked Yeye.Yeye also had the same idea, so the two went to the next door and knocked on the door.No one opened the door.

This is out?It's not possible to shrink yourself in the room like Master Atwal did.

Thinking back to last night, Suzuko gathered with everyone in the student council room as usual, and then heard about the postponement of the retirement ceremony, and then went back to the dormitory with Guangli and Yeye, nothing unusual.

After making sure that no one was making a sound inside, the two of them left the strawberry house, walked around Mount Asterion, and went to the places where Suzuko often went, but they still couldn't find Suzuko.

"Where did this go?" No one was found, and Yeye was a little anxious.

Guangli was relatively calm: "We might as well ask the trainer. It's the weekend, and Suzuko may have gone home." Although there is such a possibility, in the past Suzuko would tell them both when she came home.I didn't see her come to say hello today, so I can't help but think about it.

When I came to the teaching and research section, the instructor happened to be there, and Senior Abe was also talking on the phone inside.The two asked the trainer about Suzuko's whereabouts, and as expected, Suzuko asked for leave and went home.

"Do you know what she did when she went back?" Guangli asked.

"I don't know. Anyway, her parents agreed, and she went back early in the morning."

The two thanked each other and left the teaching and research room.Unexpectedly, Abe-senpai was waiting by the door and stopped them.

It turns out that Abe-senpai answered the call from Kugimiya-senpai, and Kugimiya-senpai was with President Rokujo. President Rojo wanted Master Atwal to go to their place, and asked Yeye and Guangli to assist Abe in this matter. thing.

Originally promised Liutiao Chairman, the two of them naturally would not refuse.The three of them went to Master Atwal's dormitory together, and the door of the dormitory was still closed.

Abe Eriko first stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Master Atwar, Rokujo-senpai asked me to invite you. I have something important to let you know."

There was no sound from the door.

Yeye said: "Just say that you found the relics of Master Sakuragi, please ask her to see it."

Eriko thought about it, thought it might be effective, and adopted Yeye's suggestion.

On the other side of the door, Huayuan Jingma stood at the door, did not open the door, did not make a sound.She was wearing thin pajamas and a thin shawl over it, standing barefoot on the floor.She stared intently at the doorknob, even though she heard that Huazhi might have left other things behind, it didn't arouse her desire to go out.She was just as calm as water, without any waves.

Hanaori has found what she left for herself, and Miyuki will help her keep that letter well.Other things are definitely not reserved for themselves, as long as they know it, they don't need to go by themselves.

When I am not around, the world still turns, and it turns even better.

She closed her eyes, turned away from the door, and wanted to go back to bed to escape the annoying reality.

"Master Atwar, there is actually one more thing." It seemed that Spiegel's Nandu classmate was talking, which stopped Shizuma, "Suzuko is gone."

Suzuko, are you missing?How can it be?Shizuma is amused by classmate Nandu's clumsy lies.Even if he is not at school, he is probably helping Miyuki.

But student Nandu continued to say: "We couldn't find Lingzi, and Senior Liutiao didn't take her with her when she left. I really don't know where she went..." Nandu's voice could be heard to be a little anxious.

Suzuko... She won't leave without saying goodbye... If something happens to Suzuko... Shizuma's heart flustered for a while, and she couldn't think about it. She turned around and turned the latch, opened the door and hurriedly asked the people outside: "I asked the teacher. No?"

I saw three pairs of innocent eyes looking at me outside the door, and the leader Nandu replied every night: "The teacher said she went home."

Shizuma shook her hand and almost cried.Then he wanted to slam the door angrily, but the three squeezed through the door.She was very angry and helpless, she folded her arms and asked, "What are you going to do?"

The three Spiegel looked at me, and I looked at you. In the end, Guangli stood up: "Master Shizuma, don't you want to take a look at what Master Huaori left behind?"

Shizuma glanced at the small school girl in front of her, then looked away, and sat on the chair in front of the desk with her back to the others. "It's not for me, Miyuki just went to see it." After saying that, Shizuma realized that his voice was trembling.

"Lingzi, she..." Yeye mentioned Lingzi again, then stopped suddenly without further words.Shizuma closed her eyes, sighing indistinctly.

Yeye seemed to think about her words, and said again: "Lingzi didn't tell any of us before going home. This is unusual, and we are very worried about her."

Didn't talk to anyone?Suzuko would not be like this usually, she would definitely tell the people around her whereabouts, so as not to worry others.This is unusual, she left without saying goodbye must be because - she has no extra energy to think about others.

Shizuma clenched her fists tightly, her nails tightly pinching her palms.But what she said was different from what she thought in her heart: "Maybe she forgot to tell you, don't worry." She felt that the topic should be over and they should be asked out.

But he didn't want to, Yeye followed and asked: "Are you really not worried?" "I'm not worried!"

Shizuma answered too quickly and in a high-pitched voice, obviously trying to cover up.She realized it herself, and said it again slowly and emphatically: "I, don't worry."

The hot tears rolled down from his eyes uncontrollably.

I can't do anything by myself, even if Suzuko has something to do, there are people to help her, and there is nothing to do by myself.But why?Why do you feel so sad?

Only then did Shizuma realize that he was too weak to accept any little bad news.

"Master Shizuma."

Several of Spiegel's juniors surrounded her, all with worried tones.But Shizuma could only cry uncontrollably.

Guangli said, "Master Jingma, shall we go out together?"

Yeye said: "Let's go to Senior Sister Shenxue's place? Go again and find Lingzi."

Eriko said: "We will accompany you."

Jingma nodded, they thought that Jingma had regained her courage, and they all looked happy.They don't know that this is just the result of the battle of different fears in Shizuma's heart.

Facing the fears of the real world, and, newly emerging, the fears of loss, the two battle each other.When the fear of loss took hold and gradually engulfed Shizuma's heart, she could only be forced to make a decision - to get out of here.

Spiegel's juniors help Shizuma comb her hair and groom her appearance.Looking in the mirror, Jingma's eyes are red, even though she has a natural and amazing beauty, she can't hide her haggard look.

After finishing the preparations, Shizuma got up and walked out of the room, followed by the junior girl, and turned off the lights in the room.Shizuma felt that in the darkness of the room, there was still a pair of eyes looking at him, with red pupils, looking deeply at him.But surrounding him, the deeper darkness beyond the door swallowed that illusory gaze in one gulp.

Shizuma stepped into a deeper darkness.

*She will travel far away ([-])

Today is not a particularly good weather. It is cloudy and gray, and it seems that a few traces of rain will fall at any time.

Jingma, Yeye, and Guangli arrived at the hospital in the town by car—they were going to find a doctor.The doctor is a student of Grandpa Huazhi and an assistant doctor who once treated Huazhi.What Huazhi left behind, what Jingma wanted to see, was with the doctor.

The three got off the car at the entrance of the hospital, and the person waiting at the entrance was someone Shizuma had never thought of.

Senior Suwazuo, someone I haven't seen in five years.

Jingma once thought that if she saw Sister Zuo again, she would be very excited and very happy.Now that I saw it, there was only a little turbulence in my heart, not very excited, not very happy, and even a little ashamed.

The way she is now will disappoint her.

"Miss Zuo..."

"Long time no see! Wow, they are as tall as me."

So-senpai walked up to Shizuma and patted Shizuma on the shoulder.This made Shizuma notice a little difference—they used to press their heads.

Shizuma asked: "... Where is Miyuki?"

"Hahaha, Miyuki-chan is crying again, in the courtyard, Tsubasa is taking care of her."

"Senior Yi is here too?"

"Yes, there is also Liuhuajiang. Let's go, let's go to the doctor."

Saying that, Zuo turned around and took the three of them to the hospital.Shizuma looked at the back of Sister Zuo, and remembered that before, he always looked up at Sister Zuo, but now he only needs to look at her at the same level - although Sister Zuo has not changed, they are already the same height.

Sister Zuo didn't get shorter, she grew taller.

The four of them walked to a doctor's duty room, opened the door and entered.Liuhua was inside, and there was also a female doctor in a white coat: she was a beautiful woman with long pale blond hair, fair skin, and a sharp face.Speaking of which, Shizuma has only met her a few times.When Hanaori was studying in Miyater, her father joined the town hospital as the attending physician of Hanaori, and also brought several assistant doctors. This female doctor is one of them, but Jingma is different from her. cooked.

When I saw her today, I felt that her face was very familiar.

"Hello doctor, I'm Hanazawa Shizuma..."

"Long time no see, Huayuan. Oh, haven't I introduced myself yet?" The doctor stood up and said politely.She has a smile on her face. Although she looks cold, she smiles and is approachable.

"I'm Migiri Higashishima, I used to be Hanaori's father's assistant."

"Your surname is Dongdao..." Jingma's eyes widened, and she finally understood why the doctor looked familiar!

"Yes, I'm Suzuko's aunt. I heard that you and Suzuko have a good relationship. Thank you for taking care of her."

This...why do you feel a little guilty?Jingma hurriedly replied that she was the one being taken care of.

The two get to know each other for a while before everyone else exits the office, leaving room for Shizuma and the doctor.

Meiwu asked Shizuma to sit on the sofa, and said straightforwardly: "Student Huayuan came here this time to see what Huaori left behind, right?"

"Hmm..." Shizuma replied vaguely—she felt that she didn't come here by her own will, but was dragged by many people to get here.

Meiwu didn't hesitate, got up and walked to her desk, took a photo album, returned to the sofa opposite Jingma, and handed the album to Jingma.

Migiri introduced to Jingma: "This is what Huaori left for Suzuko. A few of your classmates found me and asked me for help, so I borrowed it from her. Take a look."

After knowing that Dr. Migiri and Suzuko are aunts and nephews, Shizuma guessed that what everyone wanted to see for themselves was probably what Huaori had left for Suzuko.

Touching the cover of the photo album carefully, remembering that what Huaori left for her was a thin sheet of letter paper, and what was left for Suzuko was such a thick photo album. relationship?

Shizuma didn't open the photo album, but asked, "Suzuko...how is she?"

Mei Wu did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Are you two having a conflict?"

Roughly the same?Shizuma feels that Suzuko has been avoiding herself recently, probably because she has some thoughts after knowing her relationship with Huaori.Shizuma bowed his head and answered "Yes".

"Seeing her last night, she didn't seem very happy. But that's all, people are always unhappy." Migiri didn't seem to be worried at all, and advised Shizuma not to worry, if Suzuko did something wrong Please bear with me too...

Then Meiwu asked again: "Don't you want to look at the things in the album?"

"Look."

Jingma was a little timid, she didn't know what kind of flower weaving she would see after opening the album, she was afraid that the things inside would destroy her cognition again, and would blame her and reprimand her.Although this kind of thinking is a bit funny and nonsense, Jingma is really afraid.

She nervously opened the first page of the photo album, and she saw Hua Zhi's photo, just like yesterday.

In the photo, Huaori is standing by a lake, with the sparkling blue lake and the towering Mount Fuji in the background.Huazhi is wearing a mountaineering suit, holding a trekking pole in her hand, facing the camera sideways, and pointing at Mount Fuji with a smile.

There is a sentence written in the blank space: In the first year, I climbed Mt. Fuji, which we neon people must climb.

Although I am happy for Hanaori's smile in the photo, I still have doubts in my heart: when did Hanaori go to Mt. Fuji?

Over there, Dr. Migiri giggled: "Do you want to ask when Hanaori went to climb Mount Fuji? She hasn't been there, it's a composite photo."

This makes Jingma even more puzzled-why do you want to combine such photos?The doctor just told her to continue watching, and she would understand after reading it.

So Shizuma turned to the second page.

In the photo on the second page, Huazhi is standing on the Great Wall, a famous historical site in Huaguo, with her waist pierced, with a look of "I'm super amazing".

"In the second year, I went to climb the Great Wall in a country with a long history next door. The Great Wall is so magnificent!"

In the third photo, Huazhi is in the Red Square in Moscow: "In the third year, when I went to Moscow, it snowed and it was so cold here."

……

In the fifth picture, Huazhi is on the streets of London: "In the fifth year, I came to study in the UK. This is Baker Street. Look at the house number behind me."

……

In the ninth photo, Huazhi looks much older in the photo. At this time, she is in the African grassland: "In the ninth year, I married the ta I love! Who is ta? I won't tell you. Anyway, we are in the African savannah The time has come to take an adventure and test the loyalty of our relationship!"

No.15, Huazhi was skiing in the Alps. At this time, she changed her job and became a magazine editor...

No.20, Huazhi is in the Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt. She is involved in this collection because of her work...

No.30, Huazhi is in the Vatican, her grandfather celebrates his [-]th birthday, and the family is traveling in the Vatican...

No.40, Huazhi is in the Golden Temple of India. She has established her own media company and is shooting a movie in India. There are some wrinkles on her face...

Zhang, Huazhi is in Los Angeles, and she is visiting Universal Studios - because her film was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture...  

No.60, Huaori came back to Japan with white hair on her head.She was wearing a kimono, sitting at the entrance of the Japanese-style house, with a small bridge and flowing water, peaceful and relieved.

"No. 60 years, after I traveled around the world, I came back to Japan to visit you. Even if I didn't see you, you still thought I was back, in a place very close to you. At that time, you must have made a thousand friends, You must not be lonely."

The last photo is a real photo.Huaori returned to her 14-year-old appearance, sitting on the bed.Sitting next to her was Suzuko, with a head of blond hair that was much shorter than it is now, making her look smaller.The two of them hooked their little fingers together and smiled at the camera.

"Suzuko, we have an appointment. You will make a thousand friends, and I will travel around the world. If I leave, I must have traveled far away."

I must have traveled far away——After reading this sentence, Shizuma's tears could no longer be stopped.

*She will travel far away ([-])

She said she had traveled far.

The untouchable distance.

Shizuma covered her eyes and wiped them with the palm of her hand, but she wiped more and more tears.She didn't understand why the sadness that had been hidden for so many years would surface so easily today.

Dr. Meiwu kindly handed her the paper.

After a while, Jingma calmed down a little, and asked in a trembling voice, "They...how did they meet?"

"I introduced them to each other." Dr. Mei Wu said with a smile.Of course Jingma thought of this level, what she wanted to ask was more details.

"Do you want to know the story of the two of them?"

Shizuma nodded hard.

Migiri did not rush to start, but poured a cup of tea for herself and Shizuma each, then sat down, and began to talk: "Let me do the math, about five years ago, when Suzuko was in fifth grade, she went with me Osaka, transfer to Osaka to study."

"At that time, Suzuko had no friends in Osaka, so I introduced her to my mentor's granddaughter, Hanaori. Later, they met often and became friends."

Meiwu remembered that day, the weather was the same as today, the sky was gray.She got a call from the teacher saying that her niece was withdrawn at school and asked her to come over and have a talk.

Meiwu has always been worried about this situation.After talking with the teacher, she decided to take her niece to the hospital run by her tutor's house, and find friends for her niece—the tutor's granddaughter lacks a playmate, and see if they can play together.

She asked her niece: "I told you, Dr. Sakuragi's granddaughter, isn't she sick, can I take you to accompany her today, okay? Ah Tou?"

At this time, the niece has changed her name, but Meiwu is not used to her new name, so she still calls her original name - "Tou".

The niece agreed, and Migiri took her to Sakuragi's private hospital.

When I got off the tram, I looked at the sky, and it was gray, as if it was going to rain.

Passing through the courtyard of the hospital-although the flowers and plants in the courtyard are well taken care of, it still gives people a feeling of gray and lack of color.Meiwu was a little discouraged, not sure whether she could make her niece her first friend in Osaka.

The two quickly walked to the ward they had agreed upon, and they heard the people inside humming.

"Is she in there?" the niece asked softly.Meiwu said yes, and pushed open the door of the ward with ease.

"La la la la la la la la……"

The people inside are pasting colored paper.

"La la, la, la la..."

She pasted yellow, red, and green sulfur paper on the window, and the light came in through the window, and the room became colorful!She also heard someone entering the door, and she took the time to turn her head: "Doctor Dongdao, you are here, do you think my window looks good?"

Her windows are as colorful as spring!

Meiwu said it looked good, and said she would bring her niece to play.

The girl stopped, looked at Migiri's niece curiously for a while, and introduced herself: "Hi, I'm Sakuragi Hanori, what's your name?"

Migiri almost answered for her niece, but her niece said first: "My name is Suzuko, Toshima Suzuko."

"Are you here to play with me?"

"Uh... yes!"

"Then can I call you Suzuko?"

"Well, yes."

What Huaori got acquainted with was not "Toru", but "Suzuko".It was only when Meiwu thought about it later that it must have been the beginning of the change.

At that time, Suzuko went to find Hanaori as soon as school was over.A fifth-grade elementary school student, after school, took a tram to the hospital with a schoolbag on his back.

Migiri was still a doctoral student at the time, and she had to write a thesis and do an internship with Dr. Sakuragi.Suzuko would save a lot of trouble by coming over by herself after school.She came over and went to play with Huazhi first.After finishing what she was doing, Migiri went to Hanaori to find Suzuko, and the two went home together.

One day, on the way home, Suzuko took the initiative to pull Migiri's hand.This is the first time she has been in Osaka for so long.

It reminded Migiri of earlier times when she was in high school and Suzuko was still in kindergarten.Going to pick up Lingzi and go home by himself, the two walked hand in hand on the streets of their hometown.

The streets of Osaka in front of me are full of people and lights, which are completely different from the streets of small towns.But under these neon lights, when she held her niece's hand, Meiwu still felt a little familiar warmth.

She brought her niece to Osaka and part of her family.

Meiwu shook her niece's hand back and said to her, "You are here, you are not alone."

The niece stared at her big eyes and nodded ignorantly.Meiwu smiled.

Later, Suzuko often told Migiri about herself.Just like before Meiwu left home, she had to tell Meiwu everything.

Suzuko said that she wanted to keep her original hair color and didn't want to dye it black anymore, because Huaori said her original hair color was beautiful, and it must be as beautiful as Migiri's hair.Migiri went to Suzuko's homeroom teacher to ventilate, and let Suzuko's blond hair grow back slowly.

Suzuko said that together with Huaori, she called Akane Mizukami who transferred to Tokyo. She was very happy because she thought she and Akane were estranged, but Akane said they were still friends.Meiwu went to borrow a laptop so they could make video calls.

Suzuko said that she had a conversation with her classmate, and the classmate praised that the bento made by Migiri was delicious, and she was going to participate in the sports meeting and asked Migiri to cheer up...

Suzuko said: "Hanaori and I are making travel plans, and when she recovers, she will invite me to travel with her!"

That night, Meiwu sat at the desk all night.Because during the day, she accidentally heard Dr. Sakuragi say to Hanao's father:

"Hana's illness, there's nothing to do about it."

"I want to hold on for another two years and let Huazhi go to her mother's alma mater to have a look."

She could only let Suzuko and Huaori happily find photos of various places of interest, paste them in their planners, and carefully write about their future journey.Little did they know they might never be able to set off.

A month later, Suzuko told Migiri: "Hanaori is going to go to Mount Asterion next school year...Of course I don't want to part with her...Well, I must go to Asterion next year."

After a while, Hanori went to school in Miatel in Mount Asterion.Her father went with her to work in the town's hospital, directly raising the medical standard of the town's hospital to a higher level.

In the year after that, Suzuko had a new friend at school, and Hanaori also had a new partner in Miatel, and the two occasionally corresponded.Migiri asked Suzuko to contact Hanaori more, but Suzuko said that she would go to Miatel in a year and meet Huaori every day, so there is no need to rush.

Migiri didn't tell Suzuko the truth about Hanaori—afraid that the truth would be too heavy, Suzuko had grown up, but not yet grown enough to face it.

A year later, in the third semester of the sixth grade, Suzuko went back to her hometown to take the entrance examination for Miyater.Migiri never worried about Suzuko's grades, because Migiri taught Suzuko's studies in person.

Seven days after the exam, the exam results came out.The sister-in-law called and told Migiri that Suzuko hadn't passed the exam.It was only then that Migiri found out that on the morning of the exam, Suzuko suddenly had a fever, and went straight to the exam without telling her family.

Of course, you can still go if you pay. The three schools in Asterion are all private schools, but they are more expensive.

However, Suzuko finally chose to enroll in the nearest place to her hometown, and went to the public Chengyang High School.She accepted the fact and made her own choice.

Until that day comes...

"Do you still need to continue talking?" Meiwu asked after taking a sip of tea.

The silver-haired girl sitting opposite shook her head and asked hoarsely, "Suzuko, where is she now?"

Migiri thought for a while, and replied: "Probably at Hanaori's place." Hanaori's last wish was buried in the cemetery in Astellion Town.

"Can I go to her?"

Of course, I guess I have a lot to say to Suzuko—I don’t know if this girl has "untied her heart" as Miss Suwa said?Meiwu then said that she would send Jingma there.

Opening the office door, Shizuma's friends, who are also Suzuko's friends, are waiting outside.Hearing that Shizuma is leaving for Suzuko, Kanou volunteers to take her there.Meiwu thought for a while, but she didn't force it.

Kanade set off with Shizuma.

Seeing the car getting farther and farther away, Migiri realized that Suzuko is like this, and Shizuma is also like this. Even if they have fallen and stopped, they will overcome obstacles and regain the strength to move forward.They will go far away.

*She will go far away ([-])

The car runs smoothly on the road.

Shizuma sat slumped in the passenger seat, looking sideways at the scenery outside the window and receding to the rear.

Senior sister Zuo who was driving asked, "How about it, what are you going to say to Ah Tou?"

Shizuma said, "It's not Toru. Her name is Suzuko now." That person was no longer Toru. When she changed her original name and changed to a new name, she had already decided to let go of the past and move forward.

Played "Oh" and nodded: "Then what do you want to tell Suzuko?"

"I don't know. I feel now..." She was stunned, "There is darkness in front of me."

Even though he could see with his eyes, he could see the scenery outside the window, and he could see the senior sister sitting in the driver's seat, but he still felt that there was darkness in front of him.The past, reality, future, all kinds of heavy emotions oppressing her made her almost cry again.

Zao stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, after making sure her eyes were fine, he burst out laughing.

"Are you lost, directionless, and scared?"

Shizuma didn't understand why Senpai was laughing, so she nodded blankly.

"That's right. It's not just now. If you go forward, you will find that there is always darkness in front of you."

So-senpai leads Shizuma into a dark tunnel.

"The front is dark, the feet are black, and the back is also dark. You can't see the end, all you can do is struggle to get up, and then use your own light to illuminate the way forward."

When they drove out of the dark tunnel, their eyes suddenly opened up.Kanou turned his head to the side and laughed at Shizuma: "Young man! Welcome to the dark journey called life."

I still remember whispering to Huaori in that warm room.

"Wow! Was your hair originally blonde? Blonde like Dr. Toshima? That's beautiful, why hide it?"

"You don't dare to call your friend who transferred to Tokyo? What's the matter? Just call, the landline in my room will do."

"You can distribute the bento to your classmates. Doctor Dongdao's craftsmanship is very good. I have eaten it. Your classmates will definitely like it."

"I think we can set a goal, I'm going to travel the world, what about you? Suzuko, just make a thousand friends!"

It was she who pushed me, step by step, forward.

One step, two steps, three steps...until I can move forward on my own.

I'm on my way to the town cemetery now, I don't know how long I've been walking, and I haven't arrived yet.I have flowers and incense candles in my backpack, and I am going to visit Huaori now.
