In the summer, we eat mung beans, peaches, cherries, and melons.

Long and pleasant in every sense of the word, the days make sounds.

– Robert Walzer, "Summer"

Summer is an unusual season, it is not as prosperous as spring and autumn is sluggish, it seems that there are many big things happening during this time period, which makes it seem extraordinary.

This is especially true for Hayakawa Seirai.

Today is August 24th, her birthday.

It was on the fifth day after she passed the audition, only four days later than the birthday of Mai Shiraishi and Masatsu Akimoto, whom she admired.

Of course, this birthday family celebrated Hayakawa Seilai more enthusiastically than before.

Her brother was even more excited than she was.

When she woke up early in the morning, Hayakawa Seilai felt the difference in the atmosphere at home, and before she could taste the flavor in detail, she was attracted by a piece of news.

"Happy Birthday!"

The sender's note on the message is marked with the name Yuno Suzuki.

Hayakawa Seilai was a little surprised, she didn't remember telling the other party that it was her birthday.

After all, if you really want to calculate it, the two have only known each other for a few days.

But no matter what, she was happy.

She quickly replied to Yuno Suzuki's message, expressing her gratitude and curiosity.

"Thank you!!"

"But how did Yuno know that it was my birthday?"

Hayakawa Seilai quietly changed his name for Yuno Suzuki.

"Didn't you talk about it during the live broadcast, I knew it at that time."

Yuno Suzuki's reply was faster than Hayakawa Sinari had imagined, and she was a little excited when she saw that the other party didn't seem to care about her name.

She felt that this was a sign that the relationship between the two was going further.

As for the fact that Yuno Suzuki actually watched his live broadcast, Hayakawa Seilai was not only surprised, but also remembered the turmoil when the other party interrupted the live broadcast before.

At that time, she was worried about this for a while, but in the end, they both successfully passed the audition.

"Then what Yuno thinks of my live broadcast?"

"It's pretty good, it's funny."

"Really?"

"Sure, do I look like someone who can lie?"

"I'm sorry~"

Early in the morning, the chat between the two unfolded abruptly because of Suzuki Yuno, and then suddenly fell silent, Hayakawa Seilai sent the last sentence, holding the mobile phone, and waited for a long time without seeing Suzuki Yuno continue to send messages.

"What has Yuno been doing these days? Did you go out to play?"

"No, I've been at home all the time."

"Eh, what are you doing at home? Chasing dramas? Or do you want to watch anime or manga or something?"

"No, I'm sleeping most of the time."

"What about the other time?"

"Well, it's probably eating...... Right?"

It's not just about eating or sleeping.

Hayakawa Seilai vomited in his heart, and then remembered the tall and delicate figure of Yuno Suzuki she had seen when the two met.

Compared with those boys who are superficial and don't understand the inside, Hayakawa Seilai can better understand the cuteness of girls like Suzuki Yuno.

In Hayakawa's eyes, Suzuki Yuno is undoubtedly the kind of naturally sexy young girl, with a little naturalness, or more, with an unbridled appetite, but never fat, nor half a pimple.

She is still young, but she can always inadvertently show her girlish style, such as in the final trial venue of Hayakawa Seilai's memory, she wore black canvas shoes to line the skin of her calves more white, and put down a strand of soft sideburns when she tied her hair.

She didn't pursue an alternative pale maverick beauty like the other girls of the same age in Hayakawa's impression of school, and at that time, under the lamp on the top of the venue, the unpainted face that looked very much like Nanase Nishino glowed with an almost transparent snow-white sheen.

Hayakawa Shenglai thought that the staff in charge of the audit and announcement in front of the stage was probably also attracted by Yuno Suzuki, so he pronounced the word qualified after No. 39.

……

Although Hayakawa Seirai was in a reverie on the other side, Yuno Suzuki's purpose in sending her birthday wishes was simple: to get along with her friends strictly according to her mother's teachings.

Sending birthday wishes to the subject on the Internet in a timely manner is an important part of Professor Yuki Shiraishi's etiquette to Yuno Suzuki.

And this is just a blessing and greeting, a higher-level birthday gift or something, that's not in the scope of Suzuki Yuno's consideration, and the only one who can make her spend money has always been Endo Sakura-

Although most of the time it was her money that spent Sakura Endo.

It's not a question of rich and poor, it's a reflection of the class of friends, and, in Yuno Suzuki's vague impression, she remembers that she has saved quite a lot of money in her little golden pig.

In her words, "the rich are not obvious."

"Well, it's still a little less."

In the living room, Suzuki Yuno sighed in frustration, after getting her mother's permission, she just smashed open her little golden pig, she thought that under her hard work in the past few years, there were tens of thousands of yen in it.

I didn't expect it to be in the early 10,000s.

Obviously, I dozed off in class.

She didn't believe in evil and counted it again, of course, not mental arithmetic, but recorded it with the computer, but the value on the mobile phone screen was still the same as just now, no increase or decrease.

Ten thousand and six hundred.

The reality is like this, there will be no objective facts change due to your subjective emotions, and Yuno Suzuki took out his pocket money so painstakingly to prepare for tomorrow's Nogizaka summer tour of Nagoya.

With the contrast, it is natural that Mai Shiraishi gave Yuno Suzuki the preciousness of these two free tickets.

The tickets were sent yesterday morning, along with a letter with the words "Congratulations on passing", and Yuno Suzuki was so excited about it for a while that he decided to go to Nagoya Dome tomorrow without even notifying Sakura Endo in advance.

In Yuno Suzuki's so short and ordinary life journey so far, going on tour for the first time was definitely a rare experience worth writing about in her thin diary.

Sunday, August 26, Nagoya Dome, Aichi Prefecture.

Nogizaka's penultimate summer tour of the summer will be held tonight.

"Yuno, are you sure this ticket is really okay?" Before leaving in the afternoon, Endo Sakura mentioned it more in order to prevent accidents.

During the week when Yuki Shiraishi was on a business trip, during the days when he lived under the same roof with Yuno Suzuki, Sakura Endo learned that the latter had met a "big sister" through the observation of daily interactions with Yuno Suzuki's confession.

In Suzuki's narration, this "big sister" is met by her in a bookstore, and through the description, she also learns that the other person is an adult woman who is old-fashioned and has a certain understanding of idols.

Although she knew that Suzuki Yuno didn't mean to hide it, she was still a little dissatisfied with the other party's delay before telling her.

But she's not the kind of person who will make a fuss about something that doesn't go her way, so to speak, Endo Sakura usually has very few negative emotions, and even if she does, she will only digest it in her heart alone.

And, as long as she saw Yuno Suzuki's familiar smile, it was difficult for Sakura Endo to be angry with her.

So the dissatisfaction only lasted for a short time before dissipating, but forgiveness is forgiveness, and after this incident, Endo Sakura secretly made up her mind to keep an eye on it in the future to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

And for what Suzuki Yuno said, to be honest, Endo Sakura didn't believe much, although she was indeed a kind-hearted person who would not maliciously speculate about others.

Because in any case, what Yuno Suzuki described was a little more bizarre.

Perhaps, it was because she knew Yuno Suzuki too well and knew that the other party was too simple, so she would have such thoughts.

In reality, there is no such good person.

However, when Yuno Suzuki posted Mai Shiraishi to her peripherals, Sakura Endo had to believe it again.

She can barely be counted as Ikuta's push for Erika, and she probably knows some of the popularity classes of the members of Nogizaka, so the surroundings of Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino really shocked her.

This is also a large part of the reason why Sakura Endo agreed to go to the concert together today.

In her heart, people who can come up with such things probably won't give fake tickets.

But despite thinking so, Sakura Endo, who is cautious by nature, still asked one more question before leaving.

"No! The eldest sister is a good person, and she helped me solve math problems before. Suzuki Yuno patted his chest as a guarantee, and suddenly remembered something, paused, and said: "Uh, it seems that it didn't solve it in the end, well, it doesn't matter, if Saku doesn't believe it, look at the chat history!" Big sister is really a super good person! ”

In order to prove the authenticity, Yuno Suzuki handed over the phone and asked Sakura Endo to see the chat history of the two before.

"I'm just mentioning it casually." Sakura Endo had an expression of "don't be so serious", but she still took the phone very honestly.

It took her a full four minutes to read the chat history between the two, she wasn't the kind of person who liked to snoop on her friends' privacy, she had just intended to skim it cursoryly.

But for some reason, Endo Sakura finally finished watching it, she was no better than the sluggish Suzuki Yuno, recalling the other party's description of the appearance of the "big sister" at the beginning, combined with the chat content inside, whether it was the same surname "Shiraishi", or the behavior of wearing a mask, and the identity of Mai Shiraishi, it seemed to point in the same direction.

Endo Sakura had a terrible guess in her heart-

This person, it shouldn't be Mai-san Shiraishi, right?
