Atsuko Maeda's graduation desire is even stronger than Mai Oshima's, but she didn't expect Mai Oshima to choose graduation so decisively, and it can even be said that it was sudden, which also made her temporarily dismiss the idea of graduation.

On July 21st, the members had their last rehearsal at Seibu Dome, and for the first time, the Lori, who had come all the way from Kyushu, saw the senior members who they once thought were unattainable. It's just that the girls are less courageous, and everyone takes the initiative to go up and talk to the senior members who have become legends, and even the junior members of AKB48 have more respect for their predecessors, and are more afraid.

Mai Oshima continued to chat with each member in this last period of time, Atsuko Maeda, Tomomi Itano, Yoona Kojima, Minami Takahashi, Natsumi Hirashima, Minami Minegishi, Yuko Oshima, Nami Okumana, Saika Akimoto, Sae Miyazawa, who were once regarded as opponents by her, and Mayu Watanabe, Yuki Kashiwagi, Reina Matsui, Mai Shiraishi, and Rino Fingerhara, who were on the same path through thick and thin.

However, these people do not include Mariko Shinoda, or since the general election, Mariko Shinoda rarely communicates with the members including the treasure her, and the only people who can talk to Mariko Shinoda are two girls, Nami Okuma and Jurina Matsui. Everyone knows that those two girls are the absolute henchmen of Mariko Shinoda.

Mariko Shinoda is arrogant, and no one among the members of AKB48 is more proud than her! At the same time, she is also paranoid, and even if she knows that she knows that she is wrong, she will not admit her mistakes, because she is Mariko.

At night, the weather is very cool, and the stars in the sky are intertwined, making it a very beautiful picture. Mariko Shinoda walked gently to Mai Oshima's side.

“maimai。 I'm leaving. Mariko Shinoda said softly.

Mai Oshima glanced at Mariko Shinoda and then at the stars in the sky.

"yes, I'm leaving. Even if you are reluctant, you still have to leave. You've become a stranger in recent times, and everyone is surprised. ”

Mariko Shinoda was silent for a long time.

"It's not just me who is changing, everyone is changing. With the passage of time, we will find that those once precious feelings will become more precious, and some things need to be insisted on, even if we know that we are wrong, we must insist, because if we can't hold on to it, then Mariko is not Marizi. Mariko Shinohada's eyes were a little red, and she finally exposed her vulnerability in front of Mai Oshima.

"You've always been so stubborn, but your choice was wrong! Come back, you know, you're going to graduate from AKB48 one day. After graduating, you may face an even more brutal status quo in the entertainment industry. Sometimes taking a step back is really not cowardice, it's progress. Mai Oshima was a little angry.

Mariko Shinoda's heart warmed, and her tears couldn't hold back anymore.

"Thank you, Maimai, but even if I know I'm wrong, what can I do, I'm afraid I can't undo anything!"

"Yes! You can! Because you are Malizi, you are too persistent, and your persistence is heartbreaking! I believe that Mariko will be better than others. You're always so stubborn. But you don't want to open your heart, you never believed us, did you?! Mai Oshima was full of voice.

For the first time, Mariko Shinoda didn't dare to look at Mai Oshima's eyes.

"I'm sorry." Mariko Shinoda said softly.

"You don't need to say sorry to me. You should say that the old lady is wrong! Mai Oshima suddenly laughed, just laughing and laughing, tears welling up in her eyes.

She has very complicated feelings for Mariko Shinoda, and the relationship between the two was not good at the beginning, even very bad. It was only 6 months after Mariko Shinoda joined AKB that she spoke to Mariko Shinoda for the first time; It was just a simple sentence, and the two girls were a little excited in their hearts at that time; Later, the relationship between the two people normalized. It's the same as an ordinary colleague relationship, but later Mai Oshima learned that it was not only Yona Kojima, who had the best relationship with her, who knew herself, but also Mariko Shinoda, the girl she once scoffed at. Later, the relationship between the two went further, and Mariko Shinoda knew Mai Oshima very well. But Mai Oshima also knows Ariko Shinoda very well, including the reason why Mariko Shinoda has been depressed for a while.

When she was about to graduate, Mai Oshima finally said what she wanted to say most in her heart.

"Stupid Maimai, you've always been very smart! Thank you, lady! Mariko Shinoda shouted at Mai Oshima's departed back.

"It's not easy for someone to finally discover my most outstanding strength after so many years!" Mai Oshima shook her hair very handsomely. She was very happy in her heart, because Mariko Shinoda had become the familiar Mariko Shinoda again.

"This kind of AKB is interesting, but it's a pity that my mother graduated." Mai Oshima said softly

On the 22nd, the AKB48 Seibu Dome concert officially kicked off.

Minami Takahashi gathered all the members in the background, including AKB48, SKE48, NMB48 and all the members of HKT48.

"Today is AKB's first Dome concert, and there are so many people watching from outside, so I want everyone to see their energy to the fans who come from afar, and I hope you will take this concert seriously! Now that we're here, let's do our best! Then come on, AKB! Minami Takahashi said loudly with a microphone.

"Come on, AKB!"

After forming a circle, the members quickly went to their locker room. The eight members of the first phase of the student were all dressed in white skirts, and several girls were nervously waiting in the background.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little stuffy, and no one wanted to speak;

"Yona, I haven't sung this song for a long time, you won't forget the lyrics, right?" Mai Oshima couldn't stand this atmosphere a little, and opened her mouth to joke about Yona Kojima.

"How can you forget the lyrics, only Takahashi can do this kind of thing, you must know that the old lady is the one with the highest IQ among our group, forget the fierceness who participated in "Escape Room" back then. So far, except for me, no one else has cleared the customs, and it's really cold. Yona Kojima glanced triumphantly at the others. (To be continued......)
