"Well, I'm happier this way."
If Minami Kotori just relies on one person to compose lyrics, he may just keep running in the same place, and it will also affect Minami Kotori's own life.
Honoka Kosaka and Minami Kotori looked at each other and smiled, and a breeze blew by.
The three of them stood at the top of the stone steps, and they seemed to know each other.
Bird: "Hey, do you remember the time when three people stood side by side like this and held First Live?"
Fruit: "Yeah."
Hai: "At that time, we were the only ones."
"I was thinking..." Minami Kotori thought of something that made him uneasy, "How long can we be together?"
"What's wrong? You said this suddenly."
"Because, in two years, high school will be over."
Graduation means separation from friends. For every student who has close friends, graduation is a cruel thing.
"There is nothing we can do about it..." Umi Sonoda also knows very well that what is supposed to come will still come.
Seeing Minami Kotori who didn't want to lose his friend, Honoka Kosaka showed a happy smile, and then hugged Kotori bigly.
"Don't worry, we will be together forever! Because I want to be with you Umi and Kotori from now on. I love you the most!"
"Honoka..." Minami Kotori's eyes trembled slightly, "Well! I also like you the most!"
Honoka Kosaka and Umi Sonoda also smiled happily.
"We must be together forever!"
"Yeah!"
This is a declaration, the most authentic and pure confession between friends. This is a line that will never be broken.
However, no matter how long the life span is, there will be a moment when it is cut off.
While Kotori was sleeping, a letter appeared in her mailbox, which contained a fork in her life.
--Thump thump thump thump!
"Hmm..."
In his room, Senba Gari was covering his heart in great pain. In his body, three crystals of different colors were slowly merging into half a new crystal.
The real seeds are about to take shape, and the collapse is about to begin!
Maki's tears
"Rin Hoshizora."
In the first-grade classroom of Otonokizaka, an older unmarried young woman... ahem... Teacher Fukagawa was handing out the results of the English test taken a few days ago on the podium.
"Here, meow~"
When Rin Hoshizora heard teacher Fukagawa call his name, Rin Hoshizora stood up from his seat and walked to the podium.
"With a score of 69, I did pretty well on the exam."
Teacher Fukagawa handed the test paper to Rin Hoshizora and also praised her.
"Xiaohua~" Rin Hoshizora took the test paper, then walked to Hanayo Koizumi's seat, holding the test paper he just got in front of Hanayo Koizumi, "Look, I didn't fail this time, I'm awesome, nya."
"Yeah! Rin-chan is working hard." At the same time, Hanayo Koizumi showed Rin Hoshizora a very healing smile.
"Hey! You stupid cat, what are you still doing there? Why don't you get back to your seat?"
Since Rin Hoshizora pronounces "meow" in almost every sentence and is a fool, she is affectionately called "stupid meow" by teacher Fukagawa.
"Yes!"
Teacher Fukagawa is the teacher that Rin Hoshizora is most afraid of, so as soon as she spoke, Rin Hoshizora quickly returned to his seat and sat down. Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, okay." Then, teacher Fukagawa stopped them and continued to send out the test results.
"Maki Nishikino."
"Yes."
When teacher Fukagawa called Maki Nishikino's name, Maki Nishikino stood up and walked to the podium.
When Maki Nishikino took the test paper, teacher Fukagawa suddenly said.
"Nishikino, did you catch a cold during this exam? Overdoing it will be bad for your health. You must know how to stop in moderation."
Teacher Fukawa looked at Nishikino Maki with some worry. After all, she seemed to be out of sorts recently.
And Maki Nishikino seemed a little unable to believe that the test paper in her hand was hers.
Because there is a big red score on the test paper - 68, which is a lower score than Rin Hoshizora just now and is not a score that a good student like her can usually get.
It seems that I have been focusing on μ's dance recently, and I don't seem to be working hard on my studies. Well, I'll just take a rest.
In his living room, Maki Nishikino was sitting on the sofa, looking at the test papers on the tea table and thinking about the reason why he failed the test this time.
"Miss, let's have some snacks."
At this time, a woman wearing a maid uniform brought milk tea and some puffs that Maki Nishikino liked to eat, and placed them in front of Maki Nishikino.
"Oh, thank you, sister Waki." Maki Nishikino said to Waki.
"This is my duty, miss. But miss, you seem to be a little absent-minded this time. Is there something on your mind?" Waki looked at this young lady whom he had seen since childhood with great worry.
"Ah, I'm fine, sister Waki." Maki Nishikino shook her head slightly to indicate that she was fine.
"Really? Miss, I'll go and get busy first." Seeing that Maki Nishikino didn't say anything, Waki had no choice but to walk to the kitchen to prepare tonight's dinner.
Then, Maki Nishikino picked up the puff and continued to stare at the test paper that was sent back.
"Ah, I really didn't memorize the words at all. Apparently a new sentence pattern just appeared - am I too careless?" Maki Nishikino murmured to himself and took a bite of the puff.
"Oh, Maki, you are back."
A voice full of magnetism and majesty came from the door.
Maki Nishikino looked dully towards the door. His father, who came back early, was also the dean of Nishikino Private Hospital - Mari Nishikino.
"Oh, it's a test paper. Did you study hard after you entered high school?" Mari Nishikino saw the test paper in front of Maki Nishikino, then walked over and picked up her test paper.
"Ah..."
At the same time that Maki Nishikino made a sound, the puff in her mouth also fell to the ground.
At the same time, Mari Nishikino's voice began to become gloomy, and his eyebrows were raised high.
"──Huh? What on earth is going on?!"
Mari Nishikino looked back and forth in disbelief at the red number of 68 points and the baby's daughter's name written on the name column.
"What's going on!"
Mari Nishikino's slightly angry voice was like a bolt of lightning, which made Mari Nishikino shrink up in fear.
"You actually got such a score in this kind of quiz, Maki, are you a little too lax, Maki? Originally, you were admitted to Otonokizaka because you thought Maki When you run a hospital here in the future, geographical connections will be indispensable, and as long as Maki you are active in school, I can also expand connections among local councilors related to education."
Listening to his father's sermons with a red face, Maki Nishikino unintentionally became a little angry inside.
"What?" Maki Nishikino blurted out subconsciously.
'Run a hospital? Be a local council member? Expand your network? In other words, am I just a pawn for my father's hospital to expand its influence in the local area?' Maki Nishikino thought in his heart.
After hearing this, the angry Mari Nishikino started to curse loudly.
"Is this the way you talk to your parents?! I really can't stand it. You were a good kid when you were in junior high school. I heard from Waki that you are like one of those street delinquents recently. In addition to going to cram schools, you also hang out outside, right? Plus, you got such a score in the exam. Count, wouldn't you be unwilling to do so? If you had known this, you wouldn't have listened to your mother's advice and let you go to Otonokizaka. It must be because the children around you speak so rudely, and as a result, even our family's Maki was affected."
'What - what, what, what! Dad, why do you say that! Obviously Honoka seniors and the others are not like this!'
After hearing Mari Nishikino's reprimand, Maki Nishikino began to feel dissatisfied.
"What! It has nothing to do with the friends around me! I just said this because I was angry! What the hell! Besides, I didn't want to go to Otonokizaka in the first place, but wanted to go to another school. Didn't my father say that I absolutely want to go to Otonokizaka!!"
Facing Maki Nishikino who suddenly stood up and yelled, Mari Nishikino was stunned for a moment.
"I didn't even know that was the case. Is that what I originally meant when I said, 'If you want to inherit a hospital in the future, you have to go to a local school?' In order to help my father and build good connections in the local area, I was so stupid that I foolishly believed that my father never understood my feelings! If I failed in the exam, I... of course I was..."
I'm the one who cares the most... Wow ah ah ah!
Maki Nishikino bit her lip and tried to hold back her desire to cry.
Maki Nishikino turned his face to one side, picked up the puffs that fell on the floor, and left the living room without saying a word.
When Maki Nishikino returned to his room, Mari Nishikino was still standing there in a daze. He almost couldn't believe that his baby daughter had yelled at him just now. Is this the daughter Maki who only followed him and called her daddy cutely at that time? God, are you kidding me!
"Ju, can you tell me why our daughter suddenly ran upstairs so sad?"
Suddenly there was another voice from the door, but this time the person standing at the door was a mature woman who was exactly like Maki Nishikino.
"Uh... Old wife, aren't you going to go to an old friend's house? How..." Mari Nishikino looked at his wife standing at the door with a cold sweat on his head - Zuifei Nishikino.
"Oh, I forgot something, so I came home to get it. But, Ju, can you tell me why our daughter is so sad?" But at this time, Zuifei Nishikino had the aura of forcing a confession. She had just heard her husband say "too much" to her daughter at the door. ', for Maki Nishikino, the couple dare not hit or scold them. In addition, they are away from home all year round and have no time to have a few meals with their daughter, which makes them feel somewhat guilty, so they usually lay the foundation for Maki Nishikino's road in advance.
"Uh, well, this is what happened." Mari Nishikino quickly told the whole story of the incident.
"Oh? Just because of this? Just because of this, you said such 'excessive' words to Maki?!" She couldn't help but be a little surprised at the sudden drop in her daughter's grades.
"Uh... I... I'm not doing this for Maki's sake..." Mari Nishikino said with some lack of confidence.
"Sigh - I know you are thinking about Maki, but you will only be hated by Maki."
"Then... then what should I do!" Mari Nishikino began to panic. No matter what, he didn't want to be hated by his daughter.
"Since you don't want to be hated by Maki, then you should apologize to Maki and then talk about it again."
Regarding her husband's character, Zuifei Nishikino is also a little speechless. She obviously cares deeply in her heart, but what comes out of her mouth are counterproductive words. What is this, tsundere?
So, listening to his wife's words, Mari Nishikino walked to the door of Maki Nishikino's room, then turned the door handle and walked in without knocking.
"Maki, dad wants to talk to you... uh."
"Dad... Dad!?" Maki Nishikino looked at Mari Nishikino who suddenly walked in in shock, and in front of her desk, the video of μ's last performance was playing.
The next afternoon.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I might... have to quit μ's..."
Everyone looked at Maki Nishikino who suddenly bent down towards them in astonishment.
"Um, Maki-chan, are you..."
"Goodbye!"
Just when Honoka Kosaka was about to ask Maki Nishikino why she was leaving, Maki Nishikino suddenly ran away.
"I wonder if those girls like to eat puffs."
At the same time, Senba Gari walked to the door of the rooftop with the puffs he had made in the morning.
"Yo, really... wow!"
Maki Nishikino suddenly ran over from him and knocked the puff out of Senba Gari's hand. Senba Gari didn't care about the puff falling on the ground and directly reached out and grabbed Maki Nishikino's arm.
"Hey, Maki! Why... why are you crying? Who made you cry!?"
Then, he saw a scene he had never seen before. Maki Nishikino She was crying, and she was crying very sadly.
In the end, Maki Nishikino, who was still crying, shook off Senba Gari's hand, then covered his face with his right hand and ran away.
Her tears also fell on the puffs scattered on the ground as she ran.

It's not that enemies don't get together
At dusk, in front of Nishikino's house.
"Wow~"
Honoka Kosaka and others looked at the mansion in front of them in amazement, and even Umi Sonoda, who was the daughter of Yamato Nadeshiko, couldn't help but marvel.
"Honoka... Are we really going to do this?" Umi Sonoda looked at Honoka Kosaka nervously.
"Well, Umi, didn't you see Maki's expression at that time?" Honoka Kosaka turned to Umi Sonoda and said, and at the same time, he recalled Maki Nishikino's expression at that time, which was so sad, "No matter what, I must ask Maki clearly!"
After saying that, Honoka Kosaka plucked up the courage and pressed the doorbell in front of everyone.
