"-Mai, I'll introduce you, this is my co-acting colleagues in the musical, Nishino and Shu-san."

"Ahh......h Hello Shiraishi-san, please advise me when we meet for the first time, I'm Kazuki Nishino, and I'm an artist at Lespro. ”

"Ahh......h

Mai Shiraishi was greeting the man with a raw face, and she looked back and forth between him and Ikuta Erika.

- What's the situation, it's obviously a separate appointment, why did you suddenly bring a man over? 1. Kuta wants to graduate? I'm going to introduce my boyfriend to my sister??

Moreover, her first impression of this slightly restrained rookie artist in front of her is not good - although she is now blushing and lowering her eyebrows, as if she doesn't even dare to look at herself, but after all these days in the entertainment industry, she can see through this guy at a glance, most likely a frivolous prodigal, and the flickering light in his eyes will not deceive!

Hmph, try to hide my Mai-like instincts! It's still early! You have to let Yikuta pay more attention, don't be deceived by the scumbag.

Thinking of this, she took Ikuta's hand and pulled her to her side.

She smiled politely but warily at this Nishino and the tree.

"Thank you Nishino-san for sending our flowers here, thank you for your work."

- The implication is that it's okay to go here, you, a junior who can't read the air, don't you still want to eat with us, right?

"Eh, but...... It's rare that Nishino-san kindly gave me ......"

Erika Ikuta tugged at her sleeve beside her, as if she had something to say.

"No, but oh, Yiku-chan, let's go!"

Turning half of her body, Mai Shiraishi seemed to feel a little rude after realizing it, although she was already well-known in the idol world, and the other party was just a newcomer to the musical who she hadn't even heard of as an insider, she decided that she should put on some senior demeanor.

"Then, Nishino-san, I've worked hard for you today, and I'll meet again."

For the first time, the two met their eyes, and the other party immediately blushed and turned away. It was only for a moment that she suddenly realized that this young man was quite pleasing to the eye.

Shaking her head, leaving behind her the idea that it must be an illusion, she led Ikuta Erika away in style, leaving the other party with a free and easy back - at least that's what she thought.

"-That's!! See you soon!! ”

A loud farewell cry suddenly came from behind her, startling her and making her smile at the same time.

"What...... This guy ......."

……

……

"Nishino-san, it's hard work today."

"No, no, the two of you have worked hard, and I am very grateful to everyone in Nogizaka......"

“……”

"What...... This guy ......."

Looking at the figure in the studio, greeting the banana man familiarly, Mai Shiraishi became inexplicably angry.

She really didn't expect that the rookie artist that Huahua inexplicably brought over to introduce her back then has become the hottest new star Haiyu in the entertainment industry after only half a year - and even, let him come to the group he is proud of, and he has become a high climb in the program group.

She has a strong sense of self-esteem, how to look at Nishino and Shu, how unhappy.

"Mai, what's wrong, are you in a bad mood?"

Nana Hashimoto was always able to notice the changes in her emotions in this way, so she gently took her hand and asked with some concern.

As if following the focus of her gaze, Nanami clenched her hands again and asked.

"Or is it because of that annoying guy? Either let's go quickly, or he'll ...... again in a moment."

Before he finished speaking, he noticed his gaze, and walked over with that annoying smile that he thought was handsome.

"Shiraishi-san, meet again—ah, and Hashimoto-san!"

“…… What else! ”

Mai Shiraishi was dissatisfied with the disrespect for Nanami Hashimoto in his words, and complained loudly - even though they were standing together, he was still pretending to look like he had just seen Nanamin.

"Ah, sorry, sorry......"

He scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. It wasn't until he stood in front of him that Mai Shiraishi realized - was this guy so tall before, how could he now seem to be able to completely block the spotlights of the studio and envelop himself.

"How many times have I told you, don't talk to me on this occasion, I don't know you very well......"

At the end of her words, her voice lowered—indeed she had said it many times, but she had no confidence over and over again.

Since we met, this guy has to disturb himself privately every time he has the opportunity to perform together, and this time he has to go straight to her "territory" to spread the wild - really, even if you want to get close to a library of sauce, you have to have a limit speaker? They're active idols!

Take 10,000 steps back and say...... Don't you worry about affecting your rising career?

“…… This, stupid! ”

Scolding in her heart like this, the more she took a step back, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she didn't want to pay attention to this stupid person.

"Nanamin, let's go!"

Grabbing Nanamin, she turned and walked towards the break room.

"-Eh, Shiraishi-san, blah blah!"

There was a chant from behind him, which attracted the sideways glances of many members and staff around him. Annoyed, Mai Shiraishi turned back angrily.

"What do you want to do?"

The other party was choked by himself like this, but he was not annoyed, he still scratched his head and smiled innocently, and he didn't care about the eyes of others, and continued to shout.

"I prepared eel rice for Shiraishi-san, and I packed it from Ueno in the lounge!"

She was speechless for a while, who wants this guy's food!

Seeing that she was silent, the fool seemed to be still complacent, thinking that she was too moved to speak, and continued.

"The mayonnaise is super doubled!"

"-you!"

……

……

"It's hard, it's hard, it's hard work...... Thanks for nine years of care. ”

Stepping off the open-top bus, Mai Shiraishi nodded to the staff one by one, and at this point, her Mai Shiraishi's graduation concert and the inclusion of all the content, including the bonus, were all over.

Although the final farewell was not so perfect and lively due to some force majeure factors, she also created the best memories with everyone around her - just like the past nine years.

"-Sushi, sushi!"

"-Eh, are you really not thinking about going to Azuka's house?"

"-Don't! Feed! ”

"-Mai, happy graduation!"

“……”

Everyone was gossiping around her, and she suddenly felt a noisy sense of happiness hit her - just now at the live scene, the goodbyes that should be made, the tears that should be left, and the reluctance to be told are all left behind, and now, it is their time to celebrate.

Everyone knows in their hearts that even if the name Mai Shiraishi will no longer continue to operate as a member of Nogizaka from tomorrow, the bond between them will not be weakened in the slightest.

"For nine years, I really appreciate everyone's care."

She was headless and thoughtless, and suddenly bowed to everyone who was a first-term student.

"Huh...... What are you doing, Mai, all of a sudden, I'm going to cry again......"

"Woo woo woo will be lonely from tomorrow onwards......

“……”

Although she didn't want to, it seemed that this sentence suddenly made the atmosphere sensational.

After a deep bow, she lifted up, her brain slightly dizzy from the lack of blood supply. When the clarity gradually regained in front of her, she was pleasantly surprised to find a group of familiar figures, facing her direction, smiling.

"Ichikuma, Nanasai, Nanami, everyone ......"

In front of her eyes, everyone who graduated from the first semester, almost all of them came back, including Sayuri and Hana, who had just graduated - it turned out that everyone was waiting for her at the end of the journey.

"—Mai, happy graduation."

Obviously, everyone was laughing and applauding, but there were tears in her eyes, which made her eyes blur uncontrollably.

Then, she saw the crowd suddenly get out of the way, and the figure hidden behind her walked out.

"Hey, why are you here, it's so annoying, it's so annoying......"

Obviously, they were all choked up and slurred words, and Mai Shiraishi had to stubbornly try to say the poisonous tongue.

Nishino and Shu are dressed formally, and it is clear that the relationship between the two has not even been confirmed, but he looks like he is proposing.

"That, although you just graduated and I'm like this, it seems that I'm very anxious, but ......"

He was holding a bouquet of roses, which looked a little funny, and amused Mai Shiraishi.

"—I don't want to wait a second late."

After a pause, he said as if he had mustered up courage.

"Mai-like, happy graduation, and then ......"

"Can you, have a relationship with me?"

Saying the words he had expected, he handed the large bouquet of flowers to his eyes.

Just for a moment, she suddenly had a little bad taste.

"-You better keep the flowers for yourself, it's too heavy, I can't hold it."

After saying this, Mai Shiraishi clearly saw that Nishino Kazuki's expression darkened for a moment.

Secretly smiling inwardly, she shoved her hand into his grip on the bouquet - too nervous, and a little wet.

"—but you might consider taking it away."

It seemed to light up the brilliance of his eyes, and she saw that Nishino Kazuki's eyes were red all of a sudden, and after being slightly stunned, she nodded super hard.

"Hmm!"

Then, without saying anything, in front of so many people, he pulled her into his arms.

"Ah, what are you doing! So many people......"

"-I don't care!"

He still couldn't read the air as he had seen it at first, and whispered softly in her ear.

"In the future, I will ask for more advice!"

……

……

"-Mai, what do you think?"

Nana Hashimoto took her hand and sat on the bench and poked her who was caught in her memories.

Mai Shiraishi felt that the ring on Nanami Hashimoto's hand gently hurt her fingers, and as if in revenge, she also used her own one to scrape Nanamin's arm.

"Hey...... It hurts! ”

"-Hmph, let you take the opportunity to eat my tofu to show your affection! Don't think I don't know! ”

“…… How can I have! Even if you do, you've been showing off for so long, it's always my turn! ”

The two laughed, and just like that, they mingled as if no one was around.

The two men in the distance were smoking and talking against the trash can in the smoking place, chatting about their careers, and the topic between her and Nanamin, I don't know when, gradually shifted from fashion and stage, to the family's firewood, rice, oil and salt, and even future parenting.

"-Really, Qiu Yang, this guy also learned from Heshu, and the good ones don't learn to smoke."

"He's not good at learning......"

Mai Shiraishi looked at the backs of the two from afar, but she couldn't take her eyes off Nishino and the trees.

"The success of my family and the tree, he has not fallen behind at all, and he is even younger."

"-No, and don't look at whose fiancé it is!"

"Hey! Nanamin, you're modest! ”

“……”

Autumn time is always so peaceful, obviously it is the third anniversary of her graduation, but the four-person date she said is so daily, but she doesn't mind living every day like this.

It seems that I will never get tired of this,

"—What are you talking about? Laugh like this. ”

Two stinky men came over with the smell of smoke, and Kazuki Nishino was still smiling harmlessly and asking questions to himself.

"Hmph, I'm talking about how the two of us are blind and have found you two unreliable men."

"-Hey, hey! Mai senior, it's okay to scold and tree seniors, but don't hit me by mistake! ”

"-It's not okay to scold me, okay! Don't sell your teammates so easily! ”

“……”

Looking at the two of them, you and me, as if they were retorting like cross talk, Mai Shiraishi suddenly had the urge to run against the wind.

Almost without thinking, she shook off the stunned crowd in one breath and ran all the way down the path of the park.

"Hey, hey, Mai, wait for us!"

After a few steps, she was a little out of breath, listening to the voices of Nishino and the tree behind her gradually approaching.

Suddenly she turned her back to him and cried out.

"-Guess!! - I think!! - What to say?!! ”

"What...... Do you want to play that again? ”

When she heard him behind her, she stopped helplessly, and she was already snickering in her heart - after getting married, she couldn't get tired of playing only this episode.

“…… Nishino-san! See you soon! ”

She shouted into the air.

In the next second, a warm hug was pasted from behind, which caught her off guard and panicked - really, even though they are all old husbands and wives, they will still be so meaningless.

"-Hey, you're foul!"

"-I don't care, that's what I'm going to say."

Interrupting her rebuttal, Nishino and Tree leaned down on her shoulder, feeling a gentle stream of air blow in her ears, some hot, some itchy.

"Mai, goodbye?"

Then, as if laughing, he added to himself.

"—see you always, all the time!"
