On March 8, the day of the graduation ceremony, the hands of the clock pointed to half past seven, and in another hour and a half, all the students of the school would gather in the gymnasium to hold the graduation ceremony in a solemn atmosphere. Excellence will also be among them, as will Ren and Misaki, as well as Mashiro, Rita, Nanami, Ryunosuke and Chihiro.

Excellence opened his eyes, and in front of him was a cute little ass that swayed gently.

"Aoba, it's you today." I tried to pull it away with my hand, but I was slapped on the cheek by the slender and beautiful tail, and it was back and forth, and it seemed that the Siamese cat Aoba was not in a good mood.

"It's too much, you" Zhuo Zhuo stroked his cheek and got up, yawning.

The cats huddled around Excellence barked together and demanded to eat. Excellence turned a deaf ear, as if he wanted to spit out the fatigue that was pressing down on his whole body, and sighed deeply.

The autumn in memory is now nostalgic. It is also in spring and summer. Even during the Christmas and winter holidays, it feels like a long time ago, as if I have lived in Sakuraso for a long, long time, and have lived with everyone for several years.

Because this room is full of too many memories, I often play electric with Misaki in front of the TV, and I once involved Ren and Mashiro. As soon as she saw the door, Misaki's smile that came to mind as she broke in with an amazing momentum.

Even ordinary wardrobes have unforgettable memories. That was the first time Excellence came to Sakuraso, and for some reason Misaki was already waiting inside, although it was just a memory given by the system, but it was unusually real. Excellence has also slept on the floor of the room several times, when the bed was occupied by Misaki, when Rita came, and when Mashiro said that he wanted to sleep in this room

As soon as the graduation plot is over, I have to leave this place full of memories and leave this world that is reborn. And this place will be demolished one day. Even so, he still had to look at the unknown future, after all, there were more worlds waiting for him to venture in the future.

I don't know if I will be able to return to this world in the future, and when I think of this, my heart is full of sadness, but at today's graduation ceremony, Excellence still wants to send off Misaki, who is about to graduate, with a smile, and wants to tell them that they don't have to worry about anything anymore. After making up his mind, he led the cats out of the room and into the dining room to prepare breakfast.

On the way, Misaki ran down the stairs leading to the second floor, "Morning, junior! "She's in uniform and ready to go out. She didn't stop, and after putting on her shoes in the hallway, she shouted "Drink~~" and rushed out with the usual high spirits, the door was still open, and the excellence made the distant back deeply imprinted in the bottom of her eyes.

Today is the last.,It's the last time I'll see Misaki in a water high uniform.,It's also the last time to see the back of Misaki dancing her skirt.,Rushing out with spirit.Today will be the end of everything.,I'm about to leave this world.,Excellence looked at Misaki's back with a lot of emotion.,At this time, the head ate a fist.。

"Don't get into heat early in the morning." Touching the head of the pain, he turned around, and Ren, who was yawning, was next to him.

"It's not like that."

"So, is it because today is the last day, so you have to imprint everything in your eyes?" Jen looked at Excellence and smiled.

Shrugging his shoulders, Excellence picked up a slice of toast bread from the table and ate it, then walked to the second floor, ready to call for Mahaku.

At 8:59 a.m., in the Shuigao Gymnasium, there are still empty seats in front of them, neatly arranged with metal chairs and stools, after that, it should be the graduates who have entered the venue, and the seats of parents are set up in the back, almost all of them are full, and between the two are the seats of excellent students. There was silence in the gymnasium for a moment. Only the breath of many people released a strong sense of presence and sat peacefully in this place.

In front of the microphone next to him, I saw Chihiro's figure, I didn't hear her say that she was going to be the master of ceremonies for the graduation ceremony, so I felt a little surprised, the time was just nine o'clock, Chihiro took a deep breath and spoke: "The 29th graduation certificate presentation ceremony will start immediately, please stand up." ”

"Graduates come in." With this as a signal, the live performance of the first and second year students of the music department was transmitted from the front right of the gymnasium. Let the silence become grand and gorgeous, and the moving timbre highlights the serious atmosphere.

The graduates lined up in each class slowly walked on the red carpet in the central passage, bathed in the flashing lights, and the art department took the lead, and it was Misaki, a character that was very familiar to Excellence, who saw her with a bright smile on her face and a cherry blossom-like ornament on her chest, which all the graduates were wearing.

"Ah, yes. This one. Nanami, who suddenly remembered something, took out the same flower ornament from the pocket of her uniform, about the size of the palm of her hand, and handed it to Ryunosuke, Excellence, Mashiro, and Rita, and when she looked closely, all the students in school had it in their hands.

At the end of the graduation ceremony, there is an event to throw flowers on the heads of the graduates and congratulate them on leaving the school. Immediately behind the art department, there is a team of graduates of the music department, after the two classes of the art department entered, followed by the general department, the former student council hall Hayashi Soichiro walked by, and then after a few people, he saw Ren's figure, and after Ren noticed Excellence and others, he also showed a hearty smile on the corner of his mouth.

Finally, when all the classes had entered the arena and the performance had stopped, the applause had stopped, and the tense silence once again dominated the gymnasium, and everyone was seated.

"The ceremony begins." After the entrance of the graduates, the graduation ceremony began peacefully.

After the opening speech, followed by the singing of the national anthem, and then the main event was the presentation of the graduation certificate, Chihiro gave up the position in front of the microphone to the tutors of each class, and a representative of each class then took the stage, and at the end it should be the speech of the graduate representative.

"Reply, graduate representative, Misaki Uii Kusa."

"Yes." It didn't take long for Misaki's cheerful voice to resound in the gymnasium.

The speech was originally made by the former student council president, Soichiro Hayashi, but at this time, there was a commotion in the venue, which obviously became noisy, and everyone began to feel uneasy. The most calm thing was the teachers standing on both sides of the gymnasium, whispering to the people next to them, discussing whether to stop her. However, there are many VIPs and parents who come to attend, and it seems that they can't interrupt the graduation ceremony.

Ignoring such a tense atmosphere, Misaki walked lightly to the podium set up in front of the stage, turned to face all the people in the venue, and with a very serious expression, Misaki took out the paper on which she wrote the draft from her pocket. The sound of the paper being spread out was heard through the microphone. Misaki stretched out her hands straight and brought the manuscript in front of her.

The commotion stopped, and the tension of the graduation ceremony reached its highest point, and in such an atmosphere, Misaki let out her first voice: "It's time again for the cherry blossom buds, which are still in a state of stiffness, to slowly expand and bloom as if invited by the warmth of spring." On this good day when our skin could feel the arrival of the new season, we 3rd graders were able to prepare for graduation together. Thank you for your presence and for holding such a grand graduation ceremony. On behalf of the graduates, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude. ”

The opening sentence that was read out with the breath held by the surroundings was not like Misaki's restrained speech, and the rhythm and mood of the way of speaking were also very conservative, much more mature than usual, and you could feel that the teachers who were originally panicked gradually regained their composure, and there were even teachers who exhaled explicitly.

"Time flies, I came back to my senses and found that I was about to graduate, although I wanted to stay for another year, a few days ago I discussed with a teacher about repeating a grade, but I was refused, and I must graduate, I regret it from the bottom of my heart." There was a slight laughter between the graduates and current students.

"The first time I walked through the school gate of Shuigao was three years ago when I was a junior high school student. Because of the recommendation of the teacher in the middle school, I learned about the existence of this high school affiliated to Suimei University of the Arts. "Parents who should not know the situation also began to stir up a slight atmosphere of commotion. Although it is very slight, it seems that this situation is not originally arranged.

"I decided to apply for the high school because I wanted to make friends at this school." I've heard Jen say this part before. Misaki, who can't read words and colors, was once very abrupt and isolated in the group

"When I was in junior high school, I didn't have anyone to call a friend to, but if I was in Sukaku at this school, I might be able to find a partner, and my teacher at junior high school enthusiastically recommended it." I can feel that the noise is disappearing little by little.,Even if it's a little playful.,But Misaki's attitude or voice reading the script.,It's not a joke at all.,It's very serious.,Even Excellence is the first time I've seen Misaki's expression.。

"When I received the notice of conformity, I was so happy that I crushed the notice. Just passing the exam is like making friends yourself. Misaki was so excited that she must have crumpled the papers, and she could imagine Jen saying "What are you doing" and flattening the notice.

"Three years have passed since then, and I have spent a precious time at the water level. Now, I think from the bottom of my heart that it's great to be able to get into this school. Everyone at the scene listened carefully to Misaki's words, and their consciousness was all focused on one point, Excellence, Mashiro, Nanami, Ryunosuke, other second-year students, first-year students, graduates, and teachers also looked at Misaki, and even the VIPs and parents of the graduates looked intently ahead.

"During these three years, I have gained very important partners and made precious encounters. These friends spend happy times together, snuggle up to each other when they are sad, and tolerate feelings when I want to cry. Today, I am able to welcome my graduation with such a refreshed mood, thanks to the friends I met in Sutakao. Entering the water high in the same period and spending the common years together, I don't know if it's an accident or fate. Only, there is only one thing that I know very well. At this time, Misaki lifted her face from the manuscript and stared straight at Excellence and the others, Misaki seemed to smile softly, but her gaze quickly returned to the manuscript.

"I know very well that the one who supported our encounter was a student dormitory called Sakuraso." Misaki raised her chest and said, proud from the bottom of her heart. Her words, her attitude, and her shy face said so.

"I was kicked out of my dormitory a week after I entered the dormitory and moved to Sakuraso alone. In Sakuraso, at first, there were only two people, me and the supervising teacher, Chihiro-sensei, and it was a very bleak and sad place. I started my high school life in a place where I couldn't hear anyone's laughter, not even talk. It's the same as when I was in middle school, I'm still alone. ”

At that time, what kind of mood was Misaki in mind? Apparently he came to Mizutaka to make friends, but he was immediately exiled to Sakuraso.

"On the first night I moved to Sakuraso, I looked at the empty rooms and painted a dream. I dreamed of the day when all the rooms in Sakuraso would be filled and the day would come when this quiet place would be filled with laughter. Closing her eyes slightly, Misaki appears cleaning the empty room alone. In order to keep it clean no matter who comes to live at any time, it is spotlessly cleaned, and the excellent room is also because Misaki has been tidyed, and even though the building is old, the room is very clean.

"After being promoted to the second grade, Jun Zhuozhuo, a junior who is one grade lower, moved into Sakuraso, and then gradually, DRagon moved in, and Ren of the same grade moved in, and Sakuraso began to become more and more lively." Misaki, who gave the answer, no longer looked at the manuscript, as if she was staring at memories and exploring the words that were sleeping in her heart, weaving emotions. The person who makes Sakuraso lively should be Misaki, Misaki is the sun of Sakuraso, and always lights up that place with a shining smile, so Sakuraso will be happy, the smile never stops, and laughter can always be heard.

"Happiness comes to me every day, and the junior always hears my words to the end, and also accompanies me to play electric all night. No matter how much I tried to play him around, he never left me, nor did he take his eyes off me. Although Jen kept asking me to be more modest, I couldn't. Happy mood naturally emerges every day, how can it be suppressed? Because this kind of time is what I have been looking forward to. At this time, Excellence's vision gradually blurred, and he couldn't stop it, and tears began to flow from the corners of his eyes.

"Say 'good morning' in the morning and come back 'I'm back'. When someone comes back, they say, 'You're back,' and greet them. It's really fun to spend every day like this. Excellence always thought that he was the only one who felt that a simple greeting made him feel happy, and he never thought that a simple greeting would be so meaningful to Misaki.

"Walking through the shopping street after school, preparing dinner together, chatting while eating, grabbing side dishes from each other, and even cleaning the bathroom and tidying up the weeds in the yard and spending all the time with everyone is an irreplaceable moment for me." What makes every day shine is obviously Misaki, and Excellence and others are just following her.

"There's Chihiro, Ren, DRagon, and the younger brother here, and it's already so happy that people feel scared, but I didn't expect that in the third year, Xiao Mahaku also came. In the summer, even Nanami came, and in the fall, Little Rita came. Nanami closed her lips and stared at Misaki, trying to imprint her figure in her mind. However, I don't know if she can do it with her tearful eyes.

"I really feel so happy. Because that day...... The dream I had drawn on the day I moved to Sakuraso finally came true in the summer of the third year. ”

At this time, even Rita couldn't see the front clearly, and the white eyes beside her were moist, looking straight at Ryunosuke in front of her, and sniffed lightly, but not only that, a whimper came from the graduate's seat, and in the team of the music department, Saori wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and even the female student next to her, who didn't know her name, her shoulders trembled, probably bringing what Misaki said into her own memories.

"Every time Sakuraso is filled with another person, the hollowness in my heart gradually disappears. Not only that, but my heart becomes warm, and I have a good time every day, and I smile naturally. It's such a time. Misaki's words surrounded the venue as gently as the sun of spring.

"A lot of people say I'm cheerful, say I'm energetic, say I'm noisy. However, the reason why I was able to do this is because of the people at Sakuraso. Nanami whimpered.

"For me, people are the greatest gift." Excellence can't stop overflowing emotions.

"Do you remember? The day I first came to Sakuraso. For me, these are all precious days that I will never forget. When Nanami-chan moved, I moved your luggage from the general dormitory without permission, which scared you. Nanami cried and nodded.

"All the time spent in that place is the most important treasure for me. Even if there is nothing special, every day is a memory that I can't forget. "It's the same for Excellence, it's the same for everyone at Sakuraso.

"Especially in the last year, things have happened like dreams in a row. Spring adds an unexpected companion, which is Mahaku, who is already active all over the world as a painter. I like Xiao Zhenbai's eyes, and I fell in love with her eyes at first sight, and at the beginning, Xiao Zhenbai looked at me with the same eyes as everyone else, and at any time, she looked at me with the same eyes as if she were looking at other people. ”

"Misaki." Mashiro called her name in a small voice.

"In the summer, in order to hold a welcome party for Nanami-chan, I used to sneak into the school swimming pool at night. Changing into swimsuits and having fun, they also ate the traditional hot pot by the pool. On the way home from the pool, I remember the beautiful starry sky that I watched with everyone, and the fireworks were set off in the garden of Sakuraso at the end of summer. ”

Even though the memories are different, Misaki's words resonate with both graduates and current students. As long as you live a residential life, there will be cases where seniors and younger siblings cooperate with each other, and as long as you participate in club activities, you will be treated harshly and gently at times. Looking ahead, there was a first-year female student who buried her face in a handkerchief, and the male classmate behind her was desperately trying to hide her tears, and Shiho Fukaya, a classmate of Mashiro, was infected by the girl next to her, and she also cried.

Whether it is a graduate or a current student, everyone recalls the days when they once shined and is immersed in the time when they once shone brightly. It is precisely because it has passed away that I feel cherished; Because I can't go back to the past, I feel sad and reluctant, and everyone remembers that they have had such a precious moment.

"At the Autumn Cultural Festival, the Sakuraso partners made two works together, and 'Galaxy Cat Meow Bolong' was the best masterpiece I had collaborated with for the first time. The people at Sakuraso have made me realize what I have always wanted to do, and I have learned what it is like to work with others. ”

"In the winter, there were also incidents of conflicts that caused an awkward atmosphere. It's not that there have been arguments or quarrels, but there have also been times when you are unhappy or make others unhappy. There have also been times when I felt miserable because I was not satisfied, so I wanted to run away or tried to give up. However, in the unsatisfactory days ahead, today has finally arrived. It's not a sunny day every day, and I think it's because of the rainy day that the tiny seeds of affection can sprout and bloom into the flowers of a new relationship. Because they hurt each other because they are immature, they can forgive each other. So all of the experiences I have experienced at Sakuraso at this school are indispensable and important experiences. Even though Misaki was still talking about Sakuraso, no one was shaken anymore, and the venue was filled with an atmosphere of wanting to hear Perfect Saku's answer, and even the teachers listened attentively.

His chest was hot, his eyes were hot, and even his heart was gradually hot, and Excellence had completely surrendered himself to the emotion that shook his whole body, and there was no need to hide it, crying was not a shameful thing, even if the truth was all spread out in the sun.

"Before the day of graduation, Sakuraso was in danger of being demolished, and later, with the help of the signatures of all the people in Shuigao, we successfully prevented the crisis of Sakuraso being demolished, everyone in Shuigao, you are the best !!."

"Oh!!" "Sakuraso is also the best!" The students who had participated in the event were all excited, and the third-year students who did not participate in the signing activity also shouted in such an atmosphere.

"Welcoming the day of graduation, there is only one emotion that fills my heart. I would like to express my gratitude for everything I met in this place. Thank you to all the students of Shuigao, thank you to the teachers who supported Shuigao, thank you to everyone who lives here, thank you for everything related to me, please let me say thank you. "Whether it's every word we've ever talked to, or every minute we've spent together, it's impossible to remember it all right, and there's bound to be something missing. There may be a lot of little things that we will forget tomorrow and are like grains of rice, because we used to be together every day.

"Finally, I would like to offer these words to the best people I met at Sakuraso." The accumulation of these tiny particles accumulates little by little every day.

"Thank you for staying with me until now! Thank you more than thanks. So, I don't need words of blessing. I've received a lot of happiness from everyone at Sakuraso, and I can't hold enough of it! Today, I will hold my hands full of happiness and graduate from Shui High School! At this time, Misaki finally choked up, and the sound of snorting came through the microphone, and then, Misaki took the cherry blossom ornament pinned to her chest and held it high on her head, even if she didn't explain the meaning, all the people present had already understood, at this time, Excellence, Mashiro, Nanami, Rita, and Ryunosuke all had cherry blossoms in their hands.

"One, two~~~"

"Three !!!" In the next moment, the gymnasium was surrounded by frenzy and excitement, and the cherry blossoms began to bloom.
