[Then after accepting his speech...... I'll leave it to you for the graduate speech, Sakurano Kurimu. 】

The host did not hide his tears and said.

And a small female student stood up after hearing the host's roll call. She walked up to the stage with a more natural gesture than anyone else before, and came to the microphone after a skillful and dignified salute

But from her face, you can see at a glance that she has just cried.

She didn't take out the manuscript, so she just said it.

[Reply.]

I don't know who the giant Mr. Snowman who piled up in the yard in the winter is gradually becoming a bit like Mr. Ugly. But this morning, I noticed that someone had repainted their faces on it, which made Mr. Yeti smile.

It's really gratifying. So, today is a great day. The weather was also so good, it was perfect for a graduation ceremony. It's really, really happy to be able to graduate from this school on a day like today!]

It looks childish, and the speech is childish.

But there was a big smile on her face.

[Well, in retrospect, I found that these three years were a blink of an eye for me.

When I entered the school, made new good friends, and mingled with the whole class, my good friend and I were elected as members of the student council. 】

Her tone of voice became surprised when she said the word 'student council member'.

[Actually, maybe it will make everyone who knows me laugh now...... In the beginning, I didn't have any confidence at all.

Because, that's me, childish, silly, and willful...... I didn't make friends until I was in middle school, huh?

So, why did everyone unanimously choose me to be a member of the student council?]

Although she was saying this, she could feel that her mind had drifted to her own memories now.

[To be honest, my stomach twitched every night from the day the popularity vote came out until the deadline when I had to make a decision on whether or not to accept the appointment of a student council member.] It's true.

However, one day I knew the strings...... Ah no, my good friend said to me, just let it be. 】

She paused.

[At first, I thought she was really unreliable. People are worrying about what to do, but she says things like "whatever I like" that doesn't help at all. That good friend had a very, very smart mind, but why didn't he say anything but that? 】

Honestly, this question should have aroused the curiosity of many people.

I saw many people leaning forward.

[However...... If you think about it, it's really like what she said.

Because, there is no one and nothing is forcing me.

Although it is with the people who voted for me in the popularity vote, uh, people, favors? I think there is such a relationship.

The choice has always been in my hands. Obviously, I just need to choose the side I like. That's why I'm worried, but I think it's a very happy thing. 】

There was a happy look on her face.

"I've got a choice. It's not just one side. It's about whatever I like. 】

She gathered her thoughts and continued.

[Obviously, the situation has not changed at all. Obviously, he just changed the way he spoke slightly. All of a sudden, I was very happy.

I just want to do whatever I like.

This sentence, for some reason, is very charming.

This sentence, for some reason, is very heavy.

However, because of this, I deeply liked this sentence. 】

She said happily.

Because I didn't think this way until I was in middle school. Because I always thought that my affairs were not decided by myself, but by my surroundings. 】

She let out a long 'um' sound and continued.

[Although there is nothing wrong with this.] Despite the helplessness, there are still many things that are difficult to achieve.

But what's the matter. There are many things that you can do as you like. It's a pity that you give up your choice from the beginning because you're afraid of failure. I think so.

So, I became a member of the Student Council...... Then, he became the president. 】

With that, she scratched her head and let out a smirk.

[Hey, hey...... I'm sorry. Because of "whatever I like", it also caused a lot of trouble for everyone. I'm really sorry. I—I'm actually very clear in my heart, huh...... Looks like it's not something to show off, well......]

At this point, her smirk gradually turned into a smile.

[However, even if I have introspection, I have no regrets. Because...... In the past three years, I've always been "with what I like", and my Sakurano Chestnut Dream will always be the same Sakurano Chestnut Dream.

…… What about all of you who graduated with me today?]

She asked.

[For everyone,Is this Biyang School Park a place where you can "let yourself do what you want"?,Just like me.]

If you could be surprised by my behavior, and then "I am the same if that" or "I am the same if that...... It doesn't get much happier than that.

At least I think it's very, very happy to be able to spend three years with all of you.

…… Although the student representative just said it.

…… Although I was very unhappy, I felt the same way as the student at school. 】

She said slowly, with deep emotions in her words.

[But the greatest joy in my life,Undoubtedly,It's those days spent in this Biyang School Park.】

If it goes a step further for me personally. The most important place for me now is the student union room, oh~]

She looked straight at us.

[Ladies and gentlemen, Sugisaki...... Monarch.

Actually, I don't want to leave here.

Of course. Because this is a paradise for me. I will be happier in the future than I am now...... How can I have such confidence?

At this time, I think that there are many things in life that you can do as you like, but there are still ...... Nothing is satisfactory. And what is even more unfortunate is that this kind of unhappiness always happens in the most important places.

Ahh 】

Her voice became choppy.

[It's annoying...... Ah, don't want to...... Apart...... Yes.

I also want to ...... with Sugizaki With all of you, forever, forever here......

But...... Now, Sugisaki, I'm ...... I want to leave here with a smile on my face. 】

Her eye sockets turned red.

【…… So, that, don't cry so badly. Well, if I cry in the middle of my speech, won't it be contagious to everyone around me? Especially in the middle of summer, why do you cry so loudly? And the first-graders, don't cry around Xiao Zhendong!ahhh

She shouted.

[Big-home-!-Ann-Quiet-la-!

That's right, all the students are like this, I wanted to cry now, but somehow I can't cry -- uh, why are even the graduates crying! Hey...... Ah, Zhixian! If Zhixian cries like that, of course everyone will cry! You should consider the gap between me and my usual personality......!

She paused for a moment and said.

[Seeing that you cry and don't want to stop, then I'll continue.] 】

Without waiting for us to reply, she said.

[I hope you can say goodbye with a smile at the end.] 】

Waited a while, she said.

[It's hard, isn't it? It's really hard. I understand. Because...... Parting is a sad thing.

Well...... But...... Even so, everyone will laugh together at the end of the day...... I believe it. 】

She said with a smile.

【…… Once upon a time, I had a ...... with a good friend A "parting" that is even more powerless than "graduation".

Then...... No matter how you think about it, there is only sadness. It feels like the end of the world. Everything ...... It's really everything, it's getting annoying.

But that friend didn't allow me to hold back.

Really...... It's sad. It's annoying. I want time to stop.

It's like Sugizaki said.

It's good to think "here", "like this". The argument that courage is right is absolutely deceitful.

Because there is no other way but to move forward, so I can only admit it with my heart. 】

She paused for a moment and said.

[However, at that time, I clearly thought that living happily with that friend was the most important thing.

But now,I hope that the days in this Biyang School Park can go on forever.。 】

She whispered.

【…… I really got carried away. However, there is a fact in this.

Even if it's a little different from me, you've had similar experiences. It's the same when you have a graduation from elementary school, and it's also when you have a junior high school graduation ceremony, and there are people who want to stay with that friend all the time.

Of course...... It's not that moving forward means that the future will be happier than today, there is no such guarantee. At least for me now,Even if I say that,,But I still can't imagine a happier future than the time spent in this school park.。

But, even so, I know a little bit well.

No matter what gets better or worse in the future, it won't change no matter what...... The only point.

That's it, that's ......

In the future, when I look back on this school little by little,It must be with a happier mood!

Even if there will be sad things waiting for me in the future. Those happy times spent in Biyang School Park,It won't change anyway!

In the rest of our lives, we must live this shining light like a jewel in our hearts forever and forever.

That's what it is...... This.......

It's really already, very happy...... It's so happy that you can cry it. 】

On her smiling face, two lines of tears unconsciously flowed down her face.

[For me...... Nothing like this has ever happened before.

Even if I have pleasant memories with my friends and good memories with my family. But I've never had such a happy memory of school life.。

Although Teacher Zhen Yiliu said that we graduates are her pride, and our pride is the days spent in this school park. 】

There was pride on her face.

[So all of you...... Also, Sugisaki.

On this day and day, it has also become a shining point that makes us proud, okay?

Even if you burst into tears, it's fine.

It doesn't hurt to flow backwards into a river.

But at the same time, let's also engrave everyone's smiles in our hearts. 】

Hearing this, the male classmate just now wiped away his tears and showed a smile.

[Hmm.] Thank you, Sugisaki. That's right, this expression is your Sugizaki "style". 】

Speaking of which, she showed her smiling face.

[After a long time, my answer is here.] At last. Say a word to everyone in Biyang School Park.。 】

…… The audience fell silent.

[Gave us the happiest three years, really...... Thank you so much!

This is the last speech of the legendary student president, Sakurano Kuri Yume, who will be sung for eternity!

See you soon!]

Facing her smiling and waving off the stage, the whole school hugged smiles and cheered enthusiastically. Although there are also people with tears, no one has long since seen the gloom on their faces.

In the venue, which had been shrouded in frenzy for a long time, the female students who were the hosts had red eyes, but they still had a smile on their faces—seriously, earnestly, and hard, and made the closing announcement.

So far, the 25th graduation ceremony of the private Biyang Higher Education School has closed.

―――――― Dividing Line――――――

It's over. Graduation ceremony.

As a student council, I honestly wish this scene was animated

But I'm satisfied with the graduation ceremony here (laughs)

The song I'm going to push this time is "OppositeWorld".

See you next time, 88
