Memorable stories always seem to take place in the summer.

The hot climate makes people more exposed, and it is difficult to hide the desires in their hearts.

Yuno Suzuki is particularly fond of summer.

That kind of liking is roughly similar to the summer light, the smell of the wind, and the chirping of cicadas.

Yuno Suzuki likes these and likes them so much.

She also likes to sneak the strawberries in the lunch box to Sakura Endo's plate during lunch time, and likes to share the same bottle of ice water with Sakura Endo after gym class, these trivial little things are the only way for Yuno Suzuki to get happiness every summer.

But this year, Yuno Suzuki has taken a different path.

She fell in love with something else — watching Nanase Nishino on the screen in shorts and old headphones in shorts and cold milk on a hot summer afternoon when the sun was shining.

It's a wonderful feeling.

From that point on, Yuno Suzuki learned to exchange the lonely moments of life for moments of great enjoyment, and those behaviors of lying on his desk and looking at his phone instead of taking the test became frequent and natural.

She would also quietly prick up her ears after class and turn her little head away when her classmates were discussing things about "idols", and although she never participated in the discussions, most of the time, her thoughts drifted away with the conversations of her classmates.

Drift to the Tokyo she has longed for.

On days when the light is too abundant in the summer, Yuno Suzuki's transparent heart has light that slowly creeps in. It was at this time that she fantasized about her unobstructed wings, and at the same time had a strong premonition that Tokyo on the map no longer seemed so far away.

Yuno wants to be an idol.

She has finally become an idol.

After passing the audition, I left Nagoya and came to a new dormitory, where I started training, and everything went smoothly and happily as in a fairy tale.

What's even more incredible is that Yuno Suzuki even met Nanase Nishino, who was thinking about it day and night, before officially joining the group.

But, just as the summer sun is bound to be brilliant, the autumn showers will also be dark.

"Na... saku。 ”

"I'm here."

"I... I can go to the bathroom... Is it? ”

There are many ways for people to express their emotions, and tears are one of them.

Even if those tears were forced to not flow too much, Yuno Suzuki's sadness had already flowed all over the ground.

Endo Sakura lovingly touched Yuno Suzuki's head.

"Of course, Yuno." She said.

……

Walk through the long corridor and you will find the toilet.

Yuno Suzuki walked over to the sink, she turned on the faucet, leaned down and gently washed her face, then looked up.

It's ugly.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she thought.

Sakura Endo was behind Yuno Suzuki, silently watching all this, and when Yuno Suzuki was washed, she gently stepped forward and hugged each other.

Turning her head, Yuno Suzuki looked at Sakura Endo with her chin resting on her shoulder, she obviously wanted to show a smile, but the corners of her mouth turned into an ugly look in the end.

She hurriedly skimmed over, avoiding Endo Sakura's eyes, and wiped the corners of her eyes along the way.

Sakura Endo hugged her tighter, and she pressed her face against Yuno Suzuki's tiny shoulder.

The water was cold just now, but it's just the right amount of warmth right now.

Sometimes, Yuno Suzuki often fantasizes about being able to live in a room full of glutinous rice dumplings with Sakura Endo. When she gets up in the morning, she can eat one dumpling, one at noon, and many more in the evening. In addition, the roof of this room will probably be transparent, and at night, if Endo Sakura wants a star before going to bed, Yuno Suzuki thinks that if she can fly, she must even pick the moon for Saku.

In addition to her mother, in this world, Yuno Suzuki's favorite is probably Endo Sakura.

So, Yuno cried so badly and didn't want Saku to see it.

"Now, Saku."

"Huh?"

"You... Can you go out for a bit? ”

Endo Sakura's face on Yuno Suzuki's shoulder parted suddenly.

"I... I want to be alone for a while. ”

Yuno Suzuki pursed her lips, she felt Sakura Endo's gaze linger on her face for a long time, and it was a long time before she heard Sakura Endo speak.

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, Endo Sakura hugged Yuno Suzuki again.

"Click-"

The door made a loud noise, and it was exceptionally crisp.

After Sakura Endo left, Yuno Suzuki was in a trance for a while before hiding in the toilet cubicle.

She sat limply on the toilet and stared blankly at the floor.

Small spaces tend to create a sense of loneliness, and people think a lot when they're lonely.

"There is a large supermarket on the road that is being renovated, and it seems to be repaired when I pass by today."

"By the way, Yakubo's bubble tea shop chapter seems to be almost complete."

"Also, yesterday Mr. Shimada praised me for my progress."

"Ah, it seems to be getting closer and closer to debut!"

"In Fujino-sensei's words, it seems to be called "getting on the right track", if-"

"If she hadn't graduated."

Yuno Suzuki thought that she would probably never experience anything more sad in her life than scoring a 6 on a math test.

It's a pity that there is now one.

In the small toilet cubicle, the girl hugged her knees and shrugged her shoulders.

Again, and again.

……

"By the way, why did you suddenly want to go back today?"

"It's nothing, anyway, it's good to stop by and see."

"Really?"

After getting out of the car, Mai Shiraishi glanced at the sky and couldn't help frowning.

She doesn't like cloudy days.

But luckily, at least inside the room, she could say goodbye to the hazy sky.

After separating from the agent, Mai Shiraishi got on the elevator alone.

"Ding—"

The elevator door slowly opened, and after the scene in front of her poured into her eyes, Mai Shiraishi couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

Before her debut and for a long time after her debut, she spent a large part of her training time in the practice room not far from the front.

After that, the first-term students changed to another place to train, and after a long time, the scene here gradually faded out in Mai Shiraishi's memory, and it wasn't until this morning that she learned from her agent that the practice room and classroom here were used to train the fourth-term students.

In the fourth phase, she should be here too, right?

Mai Shiraishi thought as she stepped out of the elevator.

The news of Nanase Nishino's graduation not only shocked the fans, but also shocked the members, including Mai Shiraishi, who had a feeling that they had been tricked once.

After all, the operation that was quickly announced after the dinner party is not something that everyone can play.

Mai Shiraishi was very annoyed last night, and although Nanase Nishino posted in the group, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to play a prank all of a sudden", she still felt very angry.

When she finished talking to Nanase Nishino and was almost angry, Yuno Suzuki's face naturally appeared in her mind again.

She couldn't help it, and sent a lot of messages to Suzuki Yuno for a while, but the other party didn't reply to any of them.

As a result, she had insomnia last night.

So, she's here now.

Mai Shiraishi was a little anxious, so much so that she didn't knock, but pushed the door open.

Then, she found that everything inside was so familiar and so nostalgic.

She also found that she seemed to have come at the right time-

Everyone had just finished class.

Mai Shiraishi glanced around, she could make out that the shapely ponytail was the teacher, but she couldn't make out the names of the rest of the others, she was familiar with Yuno Suzuki, and she had seen pictures of Sakura Endo, but the two people mentioned above didn't seem to be in this room.

"Ah, that, I'm sorry to take the liberty of disturbing everyone~"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Mai Shiraishi reacted quickly and lowered her head slightly.

"Huh-"

"It's Shiraishi-san!"

The members apparently recognized Mai Shiraishi as well, and they all began to shout excitedly.

Kaori Yukisaka looked at the noisy members and shook her head helplessly, and after a while, she looked at the uninvited guest in front of her.

"Well, is Shiraishi-san here?" Kaori Yukisaka glanced behind Mai Shiraishi and found that the other party did not bring the agent over.

There were also no camera crews.

"Well, I just happened to be passing by and wanted to come and have a look." Mai Shiraishi smiled a slightly apologetic smile, "Could it be too sudden to disturb you?" ”

"Huh." Kosaka Kaori was stunned for a moment, and also smiled: "It's not like that, it's just after class anyway." ”

"So, can I take the liberty of asking a question?"

"Of course, may I ask~"

"Is there a child named Yuno Suzuki here?"

"yes, she just ...... Hmm, I guess I understand. ”

"What?"

"Yuno is in the bathroom now, and I've been there for a while."

Kaori Yukisaka smiled meaningfully, then pointed out the door.

……

Walk through the long corridor and you will find the toilet.

In front of the bathroom door, Mai Shiraishi saw Sakura Endo, whom she hadn't seen earlier.

The moment Endo Sakura saw the figure not far away, she thought she was dazzled, and it wasn't until the other party got closer and closer that she was sure that she was not mistaken.

However, no one has taught her what to do when she bumps into her seniors in front of the bathroom.

What should I do?

Just as Endo Sakura was in a tangle, Mai Shiraishi, who had already walked to her face, suddenly said, "Saku? ”

"Ahh Yes? Endo's eyes widened in shock.

"Yunai, she has talked about you." When Endo Sakura was greatly surprised, Mai Shiraishi continued to speak.

"I see." Sakura Endo breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, why are you here, Yuno?" Mai Shiraishi then asked.

Endo Sakura was in trouble for a while when she heard this, she thought that meeting Mai Shiraishi here was a simple chance encounter, but looking at the other party's posture, this senior was clearly looking for Yuno Suzuki, she secretly looked at Mai Shiraishi and began to feel distressed.

How can this be?

"Did something happen?" Mai Shiraishi has always had a keen sense of smell.

"Because of her... I just found out... Nishino-senpai she... She graduated, and then ...... "Endo Sakura couldn't resist Mai Shiraishi's aura, so she briefly talked about what happened today."

"She's in there now, right?"

"Well, I've been there for a while...... Huh? Predecessor! ”

As soon as Sakura Endo was halfway through speaking, she saw Mai Shiraishi turn around suddenly, pushed open the door of the bathroom, and broke in, and by the time she reacted, the door had closed automatically with a "pop".

Sakura Endo, who has a gentle personality, was a little messy by Mai Shiraishi, who was resolute and resolute, and she stood still, not knowing for a moment whether to follow in or continue to wait outside the door.

On the other side, Mai Shiraishi had already entered the bathroom.

Although she didn't see Yuno Suzuki for the first time, she probably guessed where the other party was staying now.

Only one of the four compartment doors is closed.

However, Yuno Suzuki didn't notice that another person had entered the bathroom at this time, and she was feeling this rare sadness alone at the moment.

The intermittent sobbing, through the door panel, was easily caught by Mai Shiraishi walking in slowly.

Mai Shiraishi walked to the closed door, and she stood still and knocked lightly on the door.

The sobbing inside the door suddenly stopped.

Yuno Suzuki looked up blankly, and when she looked up, tears were still falling.

Looking at the door, her voice was a little hoarse: "Saku? ”

The silence lasted for a few seconds before another voice rang out in the bathroom.

"It's me, Mai Shiraishi."

Yuno Suzuki was stunned for a moment, she felt that her brain was a little unturned, and with great effort, she finally swallowed the saliva in her mouth, but she couldn't figure out why Mai Shiraishi appeared here, outside the door.

"Yuno has been in there for a long time, when are you going to come out? You've been waiting for you. Mai Shiraishi whispered softly towards the door, her voice as gentle as the breeze on a field in March.

So gentle.

Yuno Suzuki felt that Mai Shiraishi's voice was much gentler than last night's, but this gentleness made her even more uneasy, because she found that she seemed to be causing trouble for everyone, and the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to escape, and the more she didn't want to go out and face everyone.

"That's it, I'll go out first, and Yuno can think about it before coming out."

After Mai Shiraishi finished saying this, a series of footsteps sounded.

In the restroom where silence returned, Yuno Suzuki struggled for a while, but finally made up her mind, wiped her face with her hand indiscriminately, and then pushed open the door of the cubicle.

Then, she saw Mai Shiraishi.

Mai Shiraishi has been waiting for a long time, and as an idol, it's normal for her to take a vacation, right?

Almost the moment she saw the figure outside the door, Yuno Suzuki subconsciously wanted to close the door, and she did the same.

However, before the door could be closed again, Mai Shiraishi kicked one foot in and successfully jammed the door.

Originally, Mai Shiraishi was very displeased with Yuno Suzuki's obvious evasive behavior, but when she saw the tear stains on Yuno Suzuki's face and the red swollen eyes, her heart immediately softened.

As much as she wanted to help Yuno Suzuki wipe off her messy face, she ended up silently pulling out her handkerchief and handing it over.

The handkerchief has a good texture, and it has a fragrance, and its clean appearance is enough to show the degree of care of the owner.

Yuno Suzuki felt that he was not qualified to spoil the handkerchief.

"Rub it, it's fine."

"But... All right. ”

In the end, Yuno Suzuki retreated in defeat under Mai Shiraishi's eyes, and began to wipe her face carefully, but she didn't dare to wipe it too hard, and after wiping it casually a few times, she returned the handkerchief to Mai Shiraishi.

"Rub... Wiped it off. Yuno Suzuki held a handkerchief in both hands and handed it over.

After waiting for a few seconds, Yuno Suzuki didn't hear Mai Shiraishi reply to her, so she raised her head and looked at the other party puzzled.

Sure enough, I still can't help it.

Mai Shiraishi thinks that she must have watched too much milk powder CM on TV recently, so now there is such a flood of maternal love.

Yuno Suzuki, who looked puzzled, was suddenly hugged by Mai Shiraishi.

"Before... Predecessor? Yuno Suzuki's voice was a little flustered.

"Don't move." Mai Shiraishi said in Yuno Suzuki's ear.

"I-" Yuno Suzuki felt his heart beating fast right now.

"It's borrowed from you."

"The super precious hug of Mai Shiraishi, a popular senior star."

"It's not ......"

"I see that you are pitiful and soft-hearted, and I want to hug you."

"Absolutely not."

"You've got it for me."
