Life is very short, fleeting like a fleeting moment. But this feeling is very long, like mountains and rivers, stretching endlessly——

Similar emotions and partings may happen anywhere in the world, at any time.

But for these fashionable girls who live in a dormitory near Nishi Kasai, this farewell is undoubtedly a profound and precious memory in their lives.

"Nanamin what are you doing?"

Under the orange light, Fukawa Mai looked curiously at the girl who was writing on the desk. The sound of the pen tip scraping against the paper was very quiet, as if listening to it for a long time would make her sleepy if not careful. It was very consistent with the girl's temperament.

"I am writing."

Hashimoto Nana did not answer.

"Write a letter? To whom?"

"It's from home. Ever since I moved in, I've been writing one every once in a while, and I suddenly wanted to write it today."

"Why are you writing a letter? If you have anything you want to say, why don't you just call me?"

Mai Fukawa obviously didn't understand, so she leaned on the bed and hugged her legs and turned around and asked.

Hashimoto Nana stopped writing, tapped the pen tip lightly, paused and said: "Well... I'm used to it now. There are some things that I'm always embarrassed to say, so I have to express them in words.

"

Fukawa Mai suddenly understood, smiled mischievously, and said: "Oh~ I understand. Nana Min's face has always been thin-"

"Yeah, I'm not as shameless as you. Are you satisfied?"

The girl retorted angrily.

Mai Fukawa was not angry at all... It should be said that she had never seen her angry before. He smiled, jumped off the bed, stretched out his hand and hugged her from behind, put her head in her head and said: "Let me see

Look what Nanamin wrote—"

Nana Hashimoto was already used to the naughty ways of her relatives and friends in private, so she just sighed helplessly with a hint of doting. Mai Fukawa casually glanced at the words on the letter and couldn't help but said: "Written

...These are all things that happened recently——"

"Performance for 16 people, selection of four singles, handshake meeting...even the things to send Sister Yumei off are included -"

"After all, it just happened today."

Nana Hashimoto said.

Mai Fukawa nodded and said nothing.

The best way to deal with the sorrow and emotion of parting is never to remind them repeatedly, but to rely on time to slowly fade away, gradually forget about it in the day-to-day life, and never mention it again.

Both of them obviously have this awareness.

Suddenly, Hashimoto Nanami said again: "By the way, Mai Mai——"

"Um?"

The girl turned to look at her.

Looking at the face so close, Hashimoto Nana thought for a moment, then pursed her lips and said with a serious face: "I don't like people watching when I write a letter, it will disturb me, so.

..Can you please go out for a while?"

"But..."

Mai Fukawa was startled, and then she saw the fleeting smile in the girl's eyes. Her face instantly turned red, knowing that she had almost been fooled by her, she shouted angrily:

"But this is my room, hey, Nanamin—"

...

...

"Na-chan?"

"Um?"

"Are you okay? I just saw that your face seemed a little off -"

In the room, Takayama Kazumi asked with concern: "Are you still sad about what happened during the day?"

After hearing this, Nishino Nanase came back to his senses, quickly shook his head shyly, smiled sheepishly, and said, "No, Nana, I'm just a little sleepy. I just need to rest."

"Sleepy?"

Takayama Kazumi thought of the fact that his friends had been staying up late to play games in the past few nights, and immediately nodded his head clearly. Then he couldn't help but frowned and became concerned: "But Na-chan, you have to pay more attention.

It’s time to take a rest. Although I haven’t been particularly busy at work recently, playing games like this will also damage my body——”

Having said that, if she is not allowed to play games... Nishino Nanase bit her lip in distress and hesitated: "But... apart from this, I don't know what to do during rest time."

What's going on..."

"Oh, by the way, I also like to eat!" the girl said suddenly.

Takayama Kazumi quickly waved his hand and said: "Forget it then, I don't want you to become the second Minami, Na-chan -"

After some joking, Nishino Nanase suddenly suggested: "Xiao Ming, there is something I want to get rid of you. Is it possible?"

"What's up?"

"I want...I want to practice kendo with you."

Nishino Nanase suddenly said.

"kendo?"

Gao Shan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Why do you have such an idea?"

"Because in this case, if there is a similar thing at the handshake meeting next time, there will be no need for Baiyun-sang, Nana, I can help you by myself -"

Nishino Nanase lowered his head and unconsciously kneaded his pink toes while whispering: "Xiao Ming is my best friend... Maybe Xiao Ming doesn't think so, but I have always been Nana.

I think so. But when something like that happened last time, Nana and I couldn’t do anything to help her. I only found out about it very late—"

"I know this is because you don't want me to worry, but, even if it just makes me feel at ease, I also want to do something for you when Xiao Shen needs help, even if it's just comfort -

—”

Nishino Nanase said word by word: "Just like Xiao Ming once helped me!"

"Na...chan."

Takayama Ichimi was stunned. Her friend's personality was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. This was something she had already known. But she never thought that the person who could not help crying when selling tissues for her debut album needed to be hugged by herself.

The comforting girl actually grew up to this point silently, eager to protect herself as well.

Learning kendo is just a performance or a symbol. It may even look a little childish and cute, but the emotion hidden under this symbol is what the girl really wants to express.

After the silence, Takayama Ichimi slowly smiled.

"Let's forget about kendo."

Takayama Kazumi said.

"Eh?"

Nishino Nanase was startled, as if he had not expected such an answer, and his face suddenly became anxious.

But before she could say anything, Gao Shan smiled and naughtily pinched the girl's philtrum just as the other party usually pinched his philtrum. He narrowed his eyes and laughed and encouraged:

"A girl as cute as Na-chan is cutest if she learns the naginata!"

...

...

At night, the girl who finished her work also returned to the dormitory.

"Huh~ I'm finally relieved! Sayuri, it's all your fault! If you hadn't suddenly suggested it, we wouldn't have had to come back in the same car as Ikku-chan at night—"

"Well, I admit that Sayuri and I are somewhat responsible for this matter, but you can't blame me entirely! After all...who knew Ikku-chan would be so noisy at night? It's strange, it's not even ten o'clock yet...

..”

"Stop talking, help me quickly. I was so dizzy just now from the noise, and now I can't even see the stairs clearly——"

The two girls helped each other go upstairs and talked. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they reached the room. They lay down on the bed without any idol baggage and breathed heavily.

"I'm so exhausted~"

After a while, a certain mayonnaise star turned on the hot water and began to take off his clothes without thinking about himself. Only his underwear was left on him. The girl next to him was stunned for a moment.

"etc......!"

Matsumura Sayuri hurriedly called out: "Maiyang, do you want to take a shower?"

"Yeah, I'm sweating all over, so of course I need to take a bath and relax-"

Shiraishi Mai said matter-of-factly and stretched lazily. Her beautiful figure was exposed to the air, and a certain girl couldn't help but feel jealous when she saw her excellent curves.

"But...this is my room?"

Matsumura Sayuri said again.

"What's wrong with your room? It's not like I haven't taken a shower in Sayuri's room before—"

Mai Shiraishi said something strange, looked her over twice, and then couldn't help but rush up, hugging her relatives and friends, raising and lowering her hands, squinting her eyes and teasing: "Are you shy? Hehe! Sayuri is so shy.

She looks really cute! But it’s okay, if you don’t mind, you can come in and wash together too——”

"Oh no!"

Faced with his friend's dirty jokes, Matsumura Sayuri's face suddenly turned red, and he shouted angrily: "My bathroom drain is blocked. I haven't had time to call Sera Rei to fix it. I can't take a shower today!"

Mai Shiraishi: "..."

"how so?"

Shiraishi Mai lay down on the bed depressedly and buried her head in the pillow: "So it seems that you can only go to my place to wash it today?"

"Yes, so you'd better put your clothes on quickly. If you delay it any longer, you won't have much time--"

Matsumura Sayuri sighed.

"But Sister Youmei just left today——"

Mai Shiraishi continued.

"What does this have to do with Sister Yumi?" Matsumura Sayuri was stunned: "Mai, you don't want to go to her room to wash it, do you?"

"Of course not! I mean, Sister Yumi is gone, and I feel a little sad when I think about it, and I don't even have the motivation to get up at all-" Shiraishi Mai said in a dull voice.

"It's obviously because you're lazy, right..." Sayuri Matsumura complained.

"but--"

Speaking of this, Shiraishi Mai suddenly became energetic. She stood up like a carp, with a large patch of white tenderness swaying on her chest, which was so white that it made people dizzy. A certain girl couldn't help but look away faintly: "But what?"

"But Sister Yumi said about the party ten years from now, ten years from now... I really can't imagine what I will be like then -" Shiraishi Mai said with emotion: "I still remember that I used to fantasize about it

She’ll get married and become a hot mom when she’s twenty years old! Now that she’s almost there, she’ll end up becoming an idol. I really didn’t expect that——”

Speaking of this, the girl couldn't help but subconsciously glanced at the leather bag she had thrown aside. There was an earring inside, lying there quietly...

Hmm, I didn’t expect this.

The girl pursed her lips and thought quietly.

"Ten years from now... we should all have graduated long ago, right?"

Sayuri Matsumura thought.

Shiraishi Mai came back to her senses and asked casually: "Speaking of which, when is the best time for Sayuki to graduate?"

"I?"

Matsumura Sayuri was stunned, thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "As for Sayuri, as long as I can always see Mai's appearance, that's enough -"

"If possible, I would like to stay until Mayi graduates and then think about graduation."

"Sayuri..."

Mai Shiraishi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the other party would answer like this, and she was speechless for a moment.

"Why do you do this?"

Sayuri Matsumura smiled easily and said: "Because Mayuri is a very important person in my life, Sayuri~ A long time ago, a long, long time ago, until the day I saw Mayuri on the train, I was already like this

I’ve made up my mind.”

"For me, it would be best if there is no graduation day and no separation, but if there must be a day, then let me say goodbye to Mai Kan."

That day, a girl who was privately taciturn encountered harassment and difficulties on the tram, but it turned out that another girl who was also privately shy stepped forward to save her and took her away from that place. From that moment on, Shiraishi Mai and

The two names Matsumura Sayuri are tightly bound together and will never be separated again.

Shiraishi Mai was in a daze, and finally couldn't help but sigh, and said softly with emotion: "Yes, it would be nice if there was no difference."

...

...

It would be nice if there was no difference.

I don’t know who, or when, someone thought this silently in his heart.

By the time I finished comforting the little bird, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Watching the girl gradually disappear outside the fence, Baiyunshan was silent for a long time. Suddenly he remembered the purpose of going to the cabin on a whim. Then he silently got up and walked to the back room, opened a drawer and took out a photo.

This is a group photo in spring. The background is the trees next to the open space of Nogi Shrine, with towering green shade. Spring vines and branches spread from the wall, covering a large area of ​​shadow. The little idols are crowded together in a lively manner.

, showing scissor hands to the camera, with a cheerful smile on his face.

The shorter Nene Ito, Yumi Wakazuki and Reika Sakurai were standing at the front; Mai Shiraishi was happily holding her own Nana Min with one hand, and the other hand was stretched out to someone unknown; Sayuri Matsumura and Akira

Komana and Rina made faces at each other, Nishino Nanase next to her was pressed tightly against Takayama Kazumi's shoulder; Fukawa Mai

Watching this scene with a smile, the exclusive paladin Kawago Hina is vigilantly observing anyone who wants to get close to the Virgin; although Eto Mica is looking at the camera, she is holding Hoshino Minami in her arms; Ikuta Eri is tightly

Next to the future CP little princess, Xiaobai, who has no sense of presence, almost ran out of the camera...

In the upper right corner of the group photo, there is also a simple drawing made with pencil. The little girl outlined in the lines is the little bird who was absent due to an accidental injury that day.

"It would be nice if there was no difference. Isn't that exactly what you want--"

Baiyunshan quietly looked at the group photo and murmured to himself: "Are you right, Baiyunshan?"
