The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

Chapter Thirty-One: That Year, Nanami Hashimoto was Sixteen (Part 1)

After coming back to his senses, Hashimoto Nanami remembered the purpose of the other party's return, and reached out to ask for the reply letter from Kitano Hinako.

Opening the letter paper, the reply above was equally concise:

"Hello, Ms. Hashimoto Nanami.

As you said, if there is no limit to the time, it is indeed a bit too vague. So, probably limit it to the stage of high school. What do you think?

——Baiyun Mountain.”

High school?...

Seeing this familiar word, Hashimoto Nanami's expression was startled, and some pictures seemed to flash before his eyes in an instant, just like the ripples of fallen leaves on the water, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She suddenly thought of something. She turned to look at Kitano Hinako, who was waiting silently for her to write a letter. Her eyes were moving wildly from time to time. She didn't know what she was thinking. After a moment of silence, she asked: "By the way, Hinako, where are you now?"

How old are you?"

"Ah? I...?"

Kitano Rinako did not expect that the question would suddenly come to her, and she was caught off guard for a moment.

But fortunately, although the girl was a little stupid, she was not stupid, and she would not be unable to answer such a question. She scratched her head and recalled for a moment, then blurted out: "She should be... sixteen years old, right?

If you haven’t celebrated your birthday yet—”

"Sixteen years old——"

Hashimoto Nana couldn't help but laughed with emotion before hearing the words. He waved to her to sit next to him, then gently touched her head and said: "When I was in high school, I was almost ten years old.

Six years old."

"Eh~ Really?"

Kitano Hinako obediently sat down holding her knees. After hearing this, she had an idea, stretched her neck and asked curiously: "Then Nana Min-san, can you tell me some stories about what happened when you were in high school?"

"Well... I'm actually not afraid of Hinako's jokes. In high school, I was actually very gloomy and boring——"

"Oh, just say it -"

"Okay, okay..."

Hashimoto Nana smiled bitterly after hearing this, but couldn't resist the girl's crazy coquettish behavior like a playful husky, so she could only reluctantly nod in agreement.

"Then let's talk, just say a little bit -"

Nana Hashimoto slowly spoke while recalling.

His eyes were lost in memories, and the time in the room seemed to be stretched, but the handwriting on the letter did not stop, but continued to spread.

"Baiyunshan Mulberry:

If it were high school, I don’t remember much about Ms. Hashimoto Reina herself, but if I want to say the most impressive thing, maybe there is only one thing.

——Hashimoto Nanami.”

...

...

Asahikawa Nishi High School, Hokkaido, is located at 1-8, 5-9-chome, Kawabata-cho, Asahikawa City.

This is the high school that Nana Hashimoto was admitted to when she was sixteen years old.

When school started in April, the cherry blossoms in Hokkaido had not yet bloomed, and Nana Hashimoto still had long hair. Standing in the spacious auditorium where the opening ceremony was held, she was no different from the other students standing in rows inside.

In the girl's own words, her entire high school career can only be described as boring.

The school is divided into general subjects and science and mathematics subjects, and Hashimoto Nana happened to choose the latter. The competition is very fierce. Therefore, more than half of the time in school, girls are studying, resting, and studying.

Switching back and forth, besides studying, I just study, and the friends I make are limited to the class I am in.

——And not much.

The only time that can be called leisurely is during club activities.

Since she also serves as the manager of the basketball team, Hashimoto Nana has to accompany the practice during club activities and stand aside to supervise... Of course, there is no need to play on the court by herself. Since middle school, she has not walked up the stairs.

After accidentally falling down and injuring her waist, the girl never played ball again and could only live out her addiction——

The content of the training varied. Sometimes I would go for a run by the river outside the school. I would run back and forth on a slope that seemed to be only a few dozen meters long. It took about 30 minutes to go back and forth about ten times.

At this time, it was her rare leisure time. She would either sit on the grass by the river and read a book, raising her eyes from time to time to pay attention to the progress of the basketball club's running practice; or she would stare at the sparkling river in a daze, without caring about anything.

Don’t even think about it. The ripples cast by the sunlight on the water at dusk are like strings of golden streams. The scene is really unforgettable——

After practicing, I would sometimes go to the nearby ramen shop for a full meal. There is no fixed restaurant, it depends on my mood, but the one I go to the most is a small noodle shop called Bee House.

The reason is very simple. The price of this ramen shop is reasonable and the portions are plentiful, and there are discounts for students. Naturally, it is easily sought after by students who don't have enough money, and Hashimoto Nana is no exception.

In addition, she will also use the pocket money she saves to occasionally go to bookstores or bookstalls to choose the books she wants to read according to her mood - this is a habit left over from the girl's childhood when she used her pocket money to buy biographies.

There’s nothing special about it, most of the time it’s just based on the packaging. It’s especially attractive when you see a book with a very contrasting title and cover.

If she had more free time, she would go to a hill very close to home - it is more appropriate to say it is a hill, but it is more like a slope. Although the height is not as high as a real mountain, it is

There is a row of tall maple trees planted on the hillside here, and in autumn the ground is covered with fiery red maple leaves.

Nana Hashimoto likes to relax here very much, and waits until the sun goes down before leaving. When she gets home, she always gives a few words of advice, and occasionally bullies her younger brother who is still in elementary school... Of course, it is not really

In the sense of bullying, in fact, most of the elements are teasing and joking, but sometimes you can get really angry...

Although there is a TV at home, Hashimoto Nanami rarely watched TV when she was in high school. On the one hand, she did not want to compete with her younger brother, and on the other hand, because girls listened to the radio more often than to TV.

——

The reason is also very simple. When you get home and do your homework at night, you can't raise your head and watch TV while writing, right? Therefore, whenever she is busy in the room, Hashimoto Nanami is always used to turning on the radio and switching to her favorite channel.

, listening to some interesting programs or music to study, and over time, it will become a habit.

This is the beginning of her high school life.

Overall, although it seems a bit boring and ordinary, for Nana Hashimoto, there is nothing worth hating or escaping from.

On the contrary, she still felt that this time was precious for a long time afterwards.

——If that didn't happen.
