Because of the sudden blooming of the flowers, many pedestrians on the streets of Kyoto stopped by, and some people even ran to the river with excitement to enjoy it up close. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

For a time, there were many more people on the riverside and on the bridge.

As soon as there were many people, the atmosphere became lively.

The vicinity of Hidemitsu and Chinoyo is also there, and there are many noisy voices of ordinary people in an instant.

"Speaking of which, have you heard of Koichiro?"

Chinoyo, who had just escaped the awkward atmosphere and was watching the cherry blossom petals falling from the sky, turned her head to Hideko with a happy face.

"What have you heard?"

Xiuguang turned his face sideways and asked in accordance with this.

Chinoyo looked at the petals and tall cherry blossom trees in the sky and said:

"It's about cherry blossoms. Do you know how long cherry blossoms bloom? ”

"Ah, that's it."

Are you asking me about the blooming season of cherry blossoms?

Hidemitsu recalled what he had learned and replied:

"If I remember correctly, the cherry blossoms must have been in bloom for a short time. Seems like seven days? Well, but it should be different from place to place. ”

"You know! Not bad! ”

Judging from Chinoyo's excited reaction, Hidemitsu should be right from memory.

"The cherry blossoms bloom for a very short time! I observed it when the cherry blossoms were blooming last year, and it was very short, usually only seven or eight days, while some were as short as three or four days, and the longest was only about ten days. ”

Chinoyo reached out and grabbed a petal that floated towards him, and took it closer to his eyes to take a closer look.

"Well, you've been there. I didn't really care. Well, it's a fleeting cherry blossom after all. ”

"yes, yes, this is the so-called 'Sho Sakura'."

Because I suddenly found a topic that I could talk about, whether it was Hidemitsu or Chinoyo, I was a little interested.

"Well, I don't know much about this, but I've survived a bit before,"

Hidemitsu and Chinoyo sat down on the grass by the river and talked about what they had seen and heard about cherry blossoms.

Although there were a lot of people, it didn't stop them from talking.

"I've heard a lot of things about cherry blossoms before. The reason why cherry blossoms bloom for only seven days is because of the legend that the so-called "seven days of flowers" is also due to the legend that "seven days of flowers". ”

"Really? Speaking of which, I like cherry blossoms, but my father doesn't have any feelings for them. He said he didn't like the kind of things that bloomed too much and were too feminine and enthusiastic, and then disappeared immediately. ”

"Eh, your father's opinion is really peculiar."

Xiuguang was a little surprised by this.

"yes, that's what I thought at the time. But I always felt that my father didn't hate cherry blossoms, but that he was using them to explain something to me. But I was too young to think of that at all. ”

Chinoyo crossed his arms and nodded in thought.

"I've always thought that people nowadays would like cherry blossoms. Beautiful, after all. ”

Xiuguang smiled,

"And I've heard that before. Many people love cherry blossoms, apparently because they bloom for a short period of time, but they bloom beautifully and passionately. That's why some people use cherry blossoms as a metaphor for human life. ”

"Human life?"

Chinoyo tilted his head and thought about it, as if he was a little puzzled.

Xiuguang then added:

"Hmm. It seems to be such a statement. It is said that although human life is short, it is as brilliant as cherry blossoms. Well, but some people's lives are not so bright. ”

It suddenly occurred to me that the metaphor of cherry blossoms is quite similar to that of fifty years of life?

Xiuguang suddenly thought of this and secretly contrasted it.

After all, they are all lamenting the shortness of life and the splendor of a moment.

While sighing in his heart, he looked up at the dense cherry blossom trees close at hand, and Xiuguang suddenly felt that human life is really short.

Think about it, since I came to this era, almost three years have passed so quickly. Inexplicably, I was a little scary.

"Some people live as bright as cherry blossoms, while others don't...... What is the meaning? ”

Hidemitsu was thinking about it, and Chinoyo next to him suddenly thought of this question, so he asked Hidemitsu.

"Ah, this. My personal understanding is that although some people live a short life, they shine and shine to illuminate countless people. And some people have just as short a life, but they don't live a bright life. ”

In fact, Xiuguang is not very thorough about these general things.

"Well, although I personally prefer the explanation that 'some people live longer, but not as bright as those who live shorter'."

In fact, there are many interpretations of these things, and they are not necessarily fixed. Xiuguang thought so.

"That's right."

Chinoyo nodded as if he didn't understand, as if he was still thinking.

Speaking of which, Chinoyo looks like a very studious person.

Xiuguang recalled what he had just said, and it seemed that he was reading through ancient books? There are other things like that.

In short, whether it is from reading through ancient books, from the point of view of liking to observe things, or from the perspective of thinking now, there is no doubt that Chinoyo is a very studious person.

"Speaking of which, cherry blossoms seem to be synonymous with love by some people."

"Love?"

"yes. I don't know what it means, though. ”

If, as the metaphor just suggested, human life is compared to cherry blossoms, then our life is undoubtedly short.

So in this short life, what kind of existence are we in our lives with a series of various things and a series of different forms of people?

Will they be as close as friends or family, or will they just be passing bys in their own lives? Or is it the beginning of a certain love?

Because it is short, it must be cherished. This is the view that Xiuguang believes.

In the end, if you want Hidemitsu to describe people, he will probably use the phrase "a cherry-like life".

Ephemeral and brilliant, this is what Xiuguang is after.

Of course, everyone likes to live longer, and Xiuguang is no exception.

But in the face of certain things, he would rather choose to die brilliantly.

And about the love aspect of the metaphor, he had never thought about it.

Maybe there will be someone in your life who you like and like? Or maybe not for the rest of your life?

Wait a minute...... Why did you suddenly think of this kind of thing that is still messy and untidy?

He covered his forehead, trying to figure out how to get himself out of the thought.

Alas, these philosophical topics are really difficult to sort out.

Or maybe I'm not there yet?

No, no, no, why do I discuss philosophical propositions at such a time? Is it because you are too busy or because of the embarrassment you have just committed?

"Alas...... Forget it......"

Now that the time is so good, why bother with all those troubles?

Letting out a sigh of déjà vu with his brother Hideyori, Hidemitsu looked at Chinoyo, who was still thinking, and he himself fell into deep thought.
