Ancient Greek philosophers once looked up to the stars and sought the end of the truth of the world; Nowadays, there are many people who place their joys and sorrows on the stars in the sky, looking at them all night, in order to find the answer to life.

It is not known when the shining stars began to hang high in the sky; I don't know what it means to be a dim or even falling 'meteor' in that countless starry sky.

Did you know that when a star completely loses the last person who looked up to him, he will bloom his last light that night, draw beautiful traces in the sky, and then take the galactic railway train, say goodbye to the world he has been silently watching for hundreds of millions of years, and go to another new galaxy?

"These are the rules of the Star Realm."

A smiling young man said to Asuka Saito.

"So, I now highly recommend one star to you, the star 737. Tatsu 737 is an experienced star that has guided many historical figures on Earth since ancient times. ”

"For example, Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms era, on the night of the famous Battle of Chibi, spent it looking up at Chen 737."

"But..."Asuka Saito hesitated: "Didn't Cao Cao lose the Battle of Chibi?" ”

The young man froze: "This... That's not the point! ”

"Eh~~~" Asuka Saito laughed and nodded undeniably: "But that star looks dim, isn't no one looking at it?" Isn't it about to turn into a meteor? ”

"How is that possible!" The young man jumped to his feet: "He will definitely continue to exist!" ”

Asuka Saito was very amused to see him like this, but because he didn't know his life, he could only hold back his smile and look strange.

"Okay, I got it!" Asuka Saito took a deep breath to calm himself down, and nodded heavily, "Then I'll pay attention to check it out when I have time." ”

"Thank you!" The young man's eyes lit up, and he picked up the flyer in his hand and stuffed it into Asuka Saito's hand: "This is for you, I simply drew the star map, if you don't remember, look at it and you can find it." ”

"Oh." Asuka Saito nodded and took the flyer, looking at the hand-drawn star map on it.

Although the painting is not as good as hers, and even a little poor, it is quite concise and easy to understand.

"But I won't forget it." Asuka Saito couldn't help but smile and added, "It's the one next to the star that is very bright and bright, right?" ”

This is an affirmative sentence.

The young man pinched his hand, but he didn't dare to push too hard, for fear of destroying the leaflet that he had worked so hard to draw, and after being silent for a while, he nodded with difficulty, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's not wrong if you want to say that... As long as you can remember him, it's enough. ”

"Hahahaha, okay, I remember." Asuka Saito finally laughed, waved the flyer, and said goodbye to him.

The young man watched her departing back, then turned and preached to the others sitting on the lawn.

"This young lady, you know..."

…

"I'm back." Asuka Saito returned to the lounge and placed her bag on the corner seat.

"Oh, Shame is back. How about today's meteor shower? Minami Hoshino, who is also a member of Nogizaka 46, asked.

"I didn't see it~" Asuka Saito replied casually, "There are too many people there, I can't breathe with a mask, and I won't be back after waiting too long." ”

"Oh~" Hoshino Minami pouted cutely: "If Shame asks me to go with me, I can still wait with you." ”

"I can't wait~" Asuka Saito laughed.

"Really." Minami Hoshino has no choice.

Asuka Saito smiled, opened her bag, and saw the humble hand-drawn flyer again, remembering the man's words, she smiled: "I heard an interesting story." ”

She just thinks that the other party is a fanatical star fan, this world is so big, there are still many people who are crazy and love good.

"The stars fall because no one is looking at anything... Who would believe it? ”

Asuka Saito doesn't believe in this kind of fairy tale.

“Asuka？ Is Asuka there? "I heard her voice before I saw her, and it was Saito Asuka's agent looking for her.

"Here we are." She answered.

Then slip the flyer back into your bag.

…

It's another meteor shower, and the best stargazing spot somewhere is bustling with people who come to watch and photograph the meteor shower.

Once again, the young man took the trouble to tell his "fairy tales" to everyone he met, holding homemade leaflets.

"Number 737." Someone stopped him: "How long are you going to go on like this?" ”

The young man named No. 737 stopped and said without looking back, "As long as there is a slight chance, I will continue." ”

Then No. 737 stepped out again.

"You're just wasting your efforts!" The man raised his voice: "Your star power is running out anymore, right?" If you spend all the last star power, you know what will happen, right? ”

No. 737 looked down at the flyer he had drawn, and said firmly, "As long as there are people watching me, my star power will be endless!" ”

Watching No. 737 flicker out of this place, the man let out a "tsk" and flickered away.

No. 737, who had reappeared at the stargazing spot in another country, stumbled a step, his lips pale, and his figure seemed to be a little more vain.

No. 737, who had originally stepped out, looked at his somewhat translucent toes, frowned, and his body shone brightly, and his body solidified again.

It's just that there seem to be a few more wrinkles on the originally young face.

…

A few months later, the rest room of Nogizaka 46.

"Shame, shame!" Minami Hoshino excitedly came to the corner where Asuka Saito was: "There's a meteor shower tonight!" Let's take a look! ”

"Huh?" Asuka Saito subconsciously objected: "It's so troublesome, there must be a lot of people over there, can't you look out the window here?" ”

"Where can I see it here!" Minami Hoshino said, "There are so many lights on the building that the sky is like daytime. ”

"It's true..."

It is for this reason that when I was in Tokyo, Asuka Saito no longer looked up at the starry sky.

"Let's go, let's go!" Hoshino Minami pulled the sleeve of Asuka Saito and said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay." Asuka Saito showed a look of fear of trouble, but agreed anyway.

Just as she stood up, a piece of paper slowly fell from her open bag.

Hoshino Minami subconsciously picked it up: "Huh? ”

"It's..."Asuka Saito himself forgot what the paper was.

"The best star, Chen No. 737, Cao Cao and Li Bai's favorite star, can fulfill your deepest wishes. Come and look up to him! Come and watch him..."

Minami Hoshino read the words on the flyer word by word.

Although it was not written by Asuka Saito himself, the crappy advertising slogan still made Asuka Saito feel a kind of shame.

She reached out and grabbed the flyer and explained, "This—someone else sent it to me, and I forgot to throw it away..."

"Oh..."Minami Hoshino replied, not taking the opportunity to tease Asuka Saito.

…

The two of them disguised themselves and went all the way to the stargazing location.

Minami Hoshino also prepared a lot of snacks with great interest.

Eating snacks and drinking drinks, the two sat on chairs and looked up at the sky.

"Hello! Have you heard of the origin of the stars? Ancient Greece..."

Asuka Saito turned his head to look over and frowned at the back figure who seemed to know.

"I think I've seen it somewhere..."

No. 737 came to Asuka Saito with leaflets all the way.

"Ahh Asuka Saito recognized him.

But she didn't dare to say anything to confirm, because compared to last time, that person seemed to be much older, and he was still a young man last time, so why did he become middle-aged this time?

"Hello! Ahh

"Sure enough, it's you!" Asuka Saito's eyes widened.

No. 737 had just opened his mouth, but then closed suddenly, and he remembered what he looked like now.

It's shocking to be like this in just a few months.

No. 737, who didn't want to cause trouble, threw down the sentence "You recognized the wrong person" and left in a hurry.

Looking at his departing back, Asuka Saito didn't catch up.

…

Another few months.

"Number 737, you're too old to look good."

"Shut up, Number 6! I'm your senior! I don't need you to teach me how to do things! ”

No. 6 is right, No. 737 is now showing up as an old man in the eyes of the world.

Then No. 737 flickered, but did not succeed in leaving.

"You can't even flicker perfectly. Go back, back to your stars, and wait for the Galactic Railway. Otherwise..."

"Shut up!" Number 737 seems to be roaring.

Frowning, No. 6 spoke again: "Why are you so persistent, isn't it good to go to another galaxy and start over?" ”

"I said it! I don't need you to teach me how to do things! ”

"Senpai!" Number 6 couldn't hold back any longer.

"Don't bother me!" 737 gritted his teeth, flashed his whole body again, and flickered away.

Number 6 was silent and let out a long sigh...

"Even if it becomes 737... Sure enough, it hasn't changed at all..."

Once upon a time, when number 737 was still shining, his name was number 3. At that time, No. 6, who had just come to this galaxy, was under his leadership and became familiar with every corner of the planet, and saw the growth of plants and trees and the changes of the world.

"The matter of the stars, can only be solved by the stars..."

Number 6 pondered and made up his mind.

"Anyway, now I'm the number 6, and it's natural not to listen to my seniors..."

…

"Hello, Ms. Asuka Saito." Number 6's voice sounded.

Asuka Saito turned his head abruptly, shrank back, and looked at the man who suddenly appeared in horror.

No. 6 is a stunning young woman, with a top-notch figure and appearance, and wearing an old-style dress sets off her dusty temperament.

But even so, it is still scary to suddenly appear in someone's house at night.

"Y-Who are you?!" Asuka Saito tugged at the quilt, curled himself into a ball, and breathed heavily.

"I'm sorry... I don't have any ill will. No. 6's expression was flat, and when he saw her state, he frowned.

Immediately, her left hand flashed with light, and she used her star power to calm down Asuka Saito's frightened spirit.

The shining stars are not as cold as they seem, but as warm as the warm winter sun.

Asuka Saito, who gradually calmed down, calmed down: "You, who the hell are you." ”

"I'm sorry, but allow me to introduce myself." No. 6 pulled up his skirt and made an elegant ancient salute: "I am the star No. 6, the brightest star in the constellation of Virgo hanging high in this sky." ”

Familiar rhetoric...

Sure enough, No. 6 said, "Miss Saito, I guess I heard the story of the falling stars from you, right?" ”

"Tatsu... 7..."Asuka Saito doesn't remember that name very well.

"Number 737." Number 6 added.

"Oooh." Asuka Saito nodded subconsciously: "Yes, yes." ”

"He's my senior." Number 6 said.

"This..."Asuka Saito noticed the faint glow emanating from No. 6's body, and then connected to her sudden appearance...

"Is this story true?!" Asuka Saito said in surprise.

"Yes." Number 6 nodded, "We are all real. Everything that number 737 says is true. ”

"Then he..."

"He is the dimming star, the embodiment of Chen 737, which is a simple use of the stars for their star power."

"Simple... Is it? Asuka Saito remembered the change in No. 737.

"Yes, No. 737's star power has dissipated to the point where he can't even do such simple things, and his old age is the embodiment of the dissipation of star power."

"This..."

"So." No. 6's expression finally had a hint of a wave: "I hope Miss Saito can help save him." ”

"Me?" Asuka Saito pointed at himself.

She didn't know what she could do.

"From what I've observed, Miss Saito, you are an idol in this world, and for many people, you are equivalent to a shining star. The way you stand on the stage, like the stars hanging high in the sky from ancient times to the present, has given strength and inspired many people. ”

"The only one that can save the stars is another star."

No. 6 looked straight at Asuka Saito.

"Asuka Saito."

"You are the star."

After speaking, when Asuka Saito didn't react, No. 6's fingers lit up, and a tiny star shot straight into the center of her eyebrows.

Then Asuka Saito fell into a long slumber.

…

Asuka Saito had a long dream.

In her dreams, she was incarnated as a star who had come to Earth from another distant galaxy.

The moment she stepped off the Galactic Railroad train, she was assigned to the subordinate of the star named "Number 3", and followed him to familiarize herself with everything about the galaxy.

After the Galactic Curtain announced the result, she distinctly heard the small discussion around her.

"Is that her assigned to the No. 3 subordinate? Tsk, that's miserable. ”

"What is No. 3, that guy's starlight is almost not as bright as mine, it's no wonder, after all, his star power is used to 'feel the world'~"

"Hahaha. I really hope that this newcomer doesn't learn his character, and what a waste of spending his star power on those meaningless creatures. ”

"That is, we only need to show the power of the stars once in a while, and they will respect us like gods. The rest of the star power, stay and digest it, and make yourself an eternal and immortal star is the most important thing! ”

"yes... How stupid! ”

Passing through the chattering constellation of stars, she came to No. 3.

"Hello, I'm number 3. Maybe the name will change soon. No. 3 smiled heartily: "However, as long as you hang by my side for a day, I will take good care of you!" ”

"Thank you." She said softly, "Senior..."

…

"Let's go! I'll take you to see the world! ”

"You see, that's the growth process of trees, from such a small seedling to a towering tree, it's amazing."

"Look at these two deer, the mother deer has been bitten hard, and she is almost dying, all to protect her children. Look at my hands, I will teach you how to use star power to heal others, this technique can not only heal external injuries, but also soothe the spirit! ”

"What? What is spirituality? ”

"The way this child strives to protect future generations is where its 'spirit' lies..."

With a warm smile, Number 3 heals everything in the world they encounter.

"You're going to repay me? What a good boy, then you have to remember, I am the star, as long as you remember me, look at me at night, I will give you a response. As long as you look up and see my starlight, then try to survive! ”

"Senior...", she wanted to say something,

"It's fine. Just listen to me, I'm your senior. Number 3 laughed.

She was silent and looked up at the sky.

The star referred to on the 3rd just now is obviously her star.

…

Galaxy Railway Train brings the latest announcement of the Galactic Veil.

"No. 3, named No. 737. No longer has the right to lead the growth of new stars, and from now on they will survive on their own. ”

There are many examples of stars gradually rising to become stars according to the growth of star power. But from No. 3, which is one step away from the star, to No. 737, which has never been heard of in the past.

Having just been promoted to number 131, she looked at him worriedly.

He laughed cheerfully: "Congratulations on being promoted." I won't have to take you with me in the future, it's so much easier! You can enjoy the beauty of this world freely~"

She was silent.

"Your personality is cold, your star power grows fast, and you are focused on growth, you shouldn't be like me, then I'll rest assured." He laughed.

"But..."

"Goodbye, I'm going to see one of the little birds I observed that day."

…

When people look up at the starry sky, they will always be attracted by the brightest stars, and then subconsciously forget about the dim stars around them, even if they occasionally notice that they are twinkling, the next time, they will not remember them.

The largest part of the star power of the stars is the conscious gaze in the memories of countless living beings.

His act of walking the world and interfering with everything made the star power unable to make ends meet, and the brilliance of the stars gradually dimmed after a long time.

And then when she grows up and shines brighter than him, that is, when he is gradually forgotten, and even disappears and falls.

…

Asuka Saito, who incarnated herself, has been secretly following him ever since, beside him, accompanying him to see this wonderful world over and over again, sighing at the endless life of this world.

Perhaps, every living creature that strives to survive is also a star that shines brightly.

She gradually came to think of it.

It's just that the star that took her through the world is about to be unable to maintain its previous light.

So, she saw him start to do everything he could to get the attention of those interested in the stars in order to keep him from being forgotten.

But people in this era no longer seem to look up at the stars carefully.

In a busy life, it is already a kind of romance to be able to look up at the most shining stars once in a while, and who will carefully distinguish and remember each dim star.

"I want to... Keep looking at the world. ”

She felt his unwillingness.

…

Time flows again, and Asuka Saito wakes up from a long dream. When she woke up, she found that her tears had unconsciously wet the pillow.

Asuka Saito looked at her, who was already number 6, with a complicated expression: "You..."

No. 6 maintained a flat expression: "I have persuaded him to give up and take the Galactic Railway train to another galaxy to start over, but he is unwilling. ”

His star reserves were no longer enough, so he returned to his star and waited for the train. If he continues like this, he will fall completely and become a vanished star. So, I hope you can save him. Number 6 said.

Another reason for the fall of the meteor, the reason he did not say, was told by the 6th.

"I'll save him!" Asuka Saito looked excited, she followed him through the years in her dreams, and she didn't want to see him disappear completely: "Tell me what I should do!" ”

"It's as if he took us to save the fawn. As long as you, the star named Asuka Saito, can guide those who are watching you to find the location of number 737 and make him remembered by the living beings again. ”

After speaking, No. 6's cold face seemed to evoke a smile of remembrance.

"Good!" Asuka Saito agreed.

"But," she said, "I want to see him first." ”

…

Asuka Saito saw him again, his face wrinkled, and he didn't look like it used to be.

"Before..."Asuka Saito stopped talking and changed his name: "Tatsu 737? ”

“？！” He looked back in surprise: "You, how do you know..."

"I guess." Asuka Saito replied.

"This..."

After being silent for a while, a smile appeared on Asuka Saito's face: "Why haven't you seen you for so long, and you're old again?" Isn't it because you're so bleak that no one looks at you? Why, are you going to take that train? ”

"Impossible! Why are you still so angry when you talk about this little girl! He said angrily.

"I'm an old man with a change of star power, but I'm just afraid that people will recognize me! It's not really old! ”

He explained earnestly.

"Really?" Asuka Saito looked at him amusedly.

"Of course!" He said: "If there is nothing to do, I will go first, and I will still promote the glory of No. 737 to the world!" ”

Just as he was about to force the flicker to leave, Asuka Saito spoke, "I'll help you." ”

He stopped.

"I'm an idol, and there are still a lot of fans, so if I help you, I should be able to make more people notice you." Asuka Saito laughed.

"Really!" He showed speed that didn't match his appearance, dodging and holding Asuka Saito's hands.

"You... You let go of me! Asuka Saito shook off his hand in a panic.

"Thank you so much!" He said.

…

"xx-san

How long has it been since you looked up at the stars?

I've been lately. There's a star I care about.

You see, it's the one in the picture, it's called Chen 737.

When you have time, you should also look up at the sky!

Also, be sure to remember Tatsu No. 737! ”

Asuka Saito began to frequently reveal in fan mails and various interviews that she liked the star Tatsu 737.

At first, it worked so well that he even returned to the way he was when he was younger.

Although he was reluctant to say the real reason, Asuka Saito knew that this was a manifestation of the replenishment of star power.

Asuka Saito relieved himself and continued to promote.

Unfortunately, the effect gradually weakened after that. After the novelty has passed, most people go back to the past, no longer looking up at the starry sky, but just looking up when they see Asuka Saito say.

"Excellent! It works great! Next, I have more strength to promote No. 737! He looked energetic.

It's just that Asuka Saito, who has had a dream experience, can easily tell that he is strong.

"No... Not enough! ”

"Huh? No, don't bother..."

"No trouble!" Asuka Saito interrupted.

"I thought of another way!"

…

"Please!"

In the conference room, Asuka Saito bowed ninety degrees to the two bigwigs, Yoshio Konno and Yasusu Akimoto.

Both of these are big names who can influence the operation of Nogizaka 46.

"No, you suddenly said that you want solo, and you have to fill in the words yourself, which is also..." Yoshio Konno was very difficult to ask Asuka Saito.

That's right, Asuka Saito came up with a way to write a song about Tatsu 737 and sing it to the world, so that more people may remember this dim star.

But the operation of each song has its own considerations, even if Asuka Saito is the ACE in the group, it doesn't mean that she can do whatever she wants.

What's more, except for Mai Shiraishi's graduation single, the lyrics of each song are written by Yasushi Akimoto.

It was obvious that his own interests were involved, but Akimoto Yasusu crossed his arms and smiled: "Isn't this very interesting?" ”

"Huh?" Yoshio Konno was surprised.

"After Shiraishi graduates, Nogizaka will inevitably change, and since it is going to change, why can't it start with this matter." Akimoto said with a smile: "What's more, it was Mr. Asuka who spoke~"

"Mr. Akimoto..."Asuka Saito was helpless.

…

Asuka Saito, who has experienced the passage of time in her dreams, has learned a lot from this experience, although her personality will not change greatly under the protection of Star Power No. 6.

After choosing the songs in the music library, it is easy to write the lyrics.

If only he hadn't been talking nonsense: "Oops, highlight the brilliance of No. 737!" Radiant! And history! History is also written! Cao Cao and I talked and laughed! ”

"Shut up!" Asuka Saito couldn't stand it.

"Good, good." He coaxed.

…

After a while, the production of this song was finally completed, and tonight is the anniversary concert of Nogizaka 46. Asuka Saito is going to perform this song for the first time on this special stage, in front of tens of thousands of people.

Just when Asuka Saito was writing and drawing on the lyrics he wrote in the background, for fear of forgetting the words on stage.

Number 6 suddenly appeared: "He is about to run out..."

"What?!"

"He's been relentless all this time. I don't know if he found anything, he used all the star power he got from you some time ago on the appearance of his appearance, so I can't see that his star power is actually vain. ”

"How so!" Asuka Saito couldn't believe it.

Obviously, yesterday he also said cheerfully that if tens of thousands of people remembered him at the concert, he would be able to go further away to promote himself.

“… Today he finally couldn't even maintain his appearance, and almost fell, and I saw the clue. Number 6's voice was a little deeper than usual.

"We've all worked so hard..."

"Yes. If he uses his star power to return to the stars after you advertise it, he might be able to catch a train, and now..."

"You mean..."Asuka Saito looked up, "Was my idea to hurt him..."

6 was silent for a moment: "No. If a star is unwilling to return to the sky, no one can force him. ”

"But... But he uses his star power to maintain his appearance..."

"It's not your fault." His voice rang out.

"Senpai!" No. 6 subconsciously shouted out the title.

He smiled: "You still know that I am a senior?" Then you should know how well I know you. ”

Number 6 was silent.

"I knew you were the one who asked her for help, right?" He walked over.

"I'm sorry..."6 bowed his head.

He raised his hand and rubbed No. 6's head: "Thank you." ”

"And." He looked at Asuka Saito, "Thank you too." ”

"Actually, I can't hold it anymore." He smiled calmly, "Before you help me." ”

Both Asuka Saito and No. 6 looked incredulous.

"After all, I'm a senior. The seniors will always have some skills that will not be taught to the juniors! He smiled: "Especially this kind of skill, in order not to lose face in front of the juniors, hide your embarrassed appearance." ”

"It would be nice to finally feel the gaze of a living being once again with your help." He's calm

Asuka Saito listened, tears welling up in his eyes unconsciously.

"Will you sing that song to me?" He asked.

"Of course!" Asuka Saito nodded violently, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said stubbornly with red eyes: "Not only do I want to sing, but I also want everyone on the scene to see you!" You won't disappear! Certain! ”

He raised his hand to stop her, but she was already holding the lyrics and getting ready.

Retracting his hand, he turned back to Number 6 and smiled, "Just like you." ”

6 was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Then the flicker left.

He smiled.

…

After a classic Nogizaka song, captain Masatsu Akimoto announced the next link:

"Next is our Asuka-chan's long-lost solo song! It's a new song! Or she wrote the lyrics herself! ”

A few words aroused the expectations of everyone at the scene.

Then Asuka Saito was chasing the light on the stage, stepping on white high heels, wearing a white dress, and it seemed to shine like a star under the chasing light.

"Hello everyone, I'm Asuka Saito. The next song is a song written by myself, and when I listen to this song, I have a request, I hope you can cooperate with me. ”

As she spoke, the audience agreed.

"First of all, everyone turned off the lights of the cheering sticks in their hands and sat down."

"Then the stage lights will be turned off, so don't look at me, I implore you to look up, look up at the starry sky, and look at the star that may be hard to find."

The large screen showed a hand-drawn star map, and he recognized it as the one on the flyer he gave her when they first met.

"This is a forgotten star. It was very dark and dark, almost gone. ”

"Someone once told me that when no one was looking, the stars would fall from the sky and turn into meteors. Then hop on the Galactic Railroad to a new galaxy to shine again. ”

"I hope that everyone can listen to this song and watch me watch the way the Galaxy Railway train starts..."

Asuka Saito's words gradually fell, the stage lights gradually turned off, and the audience began to obediently extinguish the lights of the cheering sticks in their hands.

聖なる夜にひとり立つ

Stand alone in this holy night

真冬のプラットホームから

From the platform on a cold winter night

千の蛍のような

The light that can be seen

灯りが遠くに見えだ

It's like thousands of fireflies

Asuka Saito slowly continued the song, and it was a clear night when tens of thousands of people in the audience looked up at the starry sky.

Quiet, yet sacred.

銀河鉄道の夜を越えて

Across the night of the Galactic Railway

まだ君に逢える気がした

I feel like I'll be able to see you again

星巡りの歌達

A song of the stars

ほら聴こえるこんな夜には

Do you hear clearly on a night like this?

Finally, everyone seemed to have found the dim star.

As everyone watched, the dim star began to twinkle more obviously, and it seemed to have a tendency to get brighter and brighter.

Asuka Saito sang and looked up over and over again, recalling the night I met him.

On the night when the meteor fell, did the singing of the stars echo as well?

…

Asuka Saito sang and sang, his eyes filled with tears again, but his blurred vision could clearly see that meteors began to appear in the sky.

The time is coming.

The audience began to let out bursts of amazement, drawn to the attention of the meteors. For them, tonight may be a miracle show for Asuka Saito.

Meteors as a lining, who can do it.

It's just that Asuka Saito doesn't want to do this, she just hopes that more people can see the star.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Asuka Saito, saw a glimmer of light appear next to her.

She no longer looked up at him as he appeared on the stage.

She has been immersed in star power, and she can see him clearly that no one can see him at the scene.

He was still that cheerful, listening carefully to her singing.

But...

His feet have clearly begun to disappear.

Asuka Saito's voice gradually began to tremble, with a hint of crying.

"Thank you." He whispered.

Asuka Saito gritted his teeth and trembled and sang the last lyric: "Leapfrogging... Night on the Galactic Railway... It would be nice to meet you again..."

yes, it would be nice to be able to meet you.

A star who loves all things in the world;

A star that shines only for others;

A star who works hard to promote himself, just to see the world more.

However, I won't encounter it again.

You're not on a Galaxy Railroad train.

Rather, it is an eternal fall.

Eternal vanishing.

…

Closing his eyes, Asuka Saito was already in tears.

In front of him, he was almost unable to see his figure.

By all means, you must finish the song!

Asuka Saito raised his head, found the star, and engraved his name in his memory:

"Tatsu 737"

Saito's birds wept silently, and sang the last line without even hearing the tune: "The song surrounded by snowflakes, if you listen to it, it resounds like this... At night..."

Finally.

Chen-737 completed its last flash, turning into one of many meteors and falling diagonally into the distance.

The moment he disappeared from her sight.

Asuka Saito's heart was empty.

…

XX Sang,

How long has it been since you looked up at the stars?

【END】
