[Flower card love] turned into a thousand winds

Someone's voice came from the gymnasium, and the voice was intermittent, making it hard to distinguish.Mahiru stepped onto the gate at the entrance of the museum, looked inside, and the figures of Chihaya Ayase and Taiichi Mashima appeared in front of her.

Mahiru covered her mouth in surprise, the umbrella in her hand shook slightly a few times, wet rain stains landed on her shoulders.

Chihaya seemed to be crying, and her sobs could be heard in the empty gymnasium.Mashima Taichi was leaning over, carefully wiping away her tears.The expression on his face was very gentle, as if with a relieved expression.The distance between them was so far that Mahiru couldn't hear what they were saying, but the atmosphere made her feel like she couldn't set foot, she stood stiffly at the exit of the gymnasium, neither going in nor retreating.

Suddenly, there was a force behind her that grabbed her hand.As soon as Mahiru turned around, Tamano's figure appeared in her sight.

"Mahiru, let's go, it's not a good habit to peek here."

The momentary chill between her fingers made Mahiru come back to her senses, she blushed and walked a few steps along Yu Ye's lead, explaining: "That... I, didn't mean to look at it, there is something... I forgot in it, I... go back, not on purpose."

In desperation, what came out of his mouth was Shikoku dialect with his hometown accent.The stammering answer seemed to only add fuel to the flames. Tamano stopped, looked back at the girl, and showed a relieved smile: "I will help you get back the things that Mahiru forgot. Don't go in and disturb them now." Now, give the two people inside a little space."

Mahiru nodded, as if suddenly remembering something, broke free from Tamano's hand, and ran back to the gymnasium on tiptoe, put the umbrella in his hand on the ground by the gate of the gymnasium, and then ran back with his hand on his head Yu Ye's side.

"They... don't seem to have umbrellas..."

"Mahiru is really a gentle person." Tamano showed a big smile, stretched out his hand and shattered the girl's bangs, "Let's go, class is about to start!"

Following Tamano's order, Mahiru followed his footsteps and gradually moved away from the gymnasium.The sound behind was quickly cut off by the sound of pattering rain. In that airtight hall, someone was talking and someone was listening.

The two returned to the classroom of Class C of the first year, and the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.The girl in the front row was staring at the two who broke in with curious eyes, and then showed a slightly excited look.

Yu Ye is probably a person who can attract everyone's attention no matter where he goes, but in front of everyone, he is used to putting on such a serious and indifferent expression, deliberately keeping a certain distance from others.He walked through the crowd, walked to the rear seat by the window, sat down quietly, propped his chin with one hand, and looked at the distant street scene through the glass window, like a statue.

As soon as Mahiru sat down, groups of classmates soon surrounded him.

Contrary to Tamano, Mahiru is a person with a very low sense of existence no matter where she is.Ordinary appearance, ordinary grades, and ordinary experience, he has always lived an ordinary life.So it was almost impossible for her to be surrounded by such a large group of strangers.

Mahiru opened his eyes wide and looked at the dark crowd in front of him, feeling a little nervous in his heart.

"Did Yura-san know Tamano-kun before?"

"I heard that Tamano came back from the United States, so did Yura?"

"He got full marks in the test papers for admission. It's really amazing. The test papers issued by the teacher in the city can actually solve all those perverted questions."

"Hey, does Yura-san know about Tamano-san's private life? Does he have a girlfriend?"

"You think he looks handsome too, don't you?"

All the questions revolved around Tamano, making Mahiru feel a little embarrassed for a moment.It was rare that transfer students who entered the school at the same time were assigned to the same class at the same time. Everyone seemed to have misunderstood something.Regarding the questions that came to him, Mahiru was noncommittal, so he turned his eyes and looked at the subject of the topic sitting by the window.The other party had already dozed off quietly at his desk, just like when he first met him on the first day of school.

When meeting Tamano for the first time, Mahiru never thought that she would get so close to someone like him.

After "escaping" from the Omi Shrine, the two who spent almost the entire summer vacation in the Baibo Club have become true partners.

Train together, eat together, go home together.

Those joys arose spontaneously in Mahiru's heart, and her mother even asked her: "Have you made any good friends at school? You look happy."

Some little happiness and a little sense of inferiority are growing in Mahiru's heart together.Tamano-kun is well known as an excellent person. He is obviously a beginner of Kata like Mahiru, but he stood out from all the beginners in a short period of time, and he was even able to compete with Harada-sensei when he refused to hand over his cards. challenge.Although the final failure was obvious, this kind of courage is also worthy of the admiration of the beginners of Baibo Club.

Mr. Harada seemed to appreciate Tamano's appearance very much, and even nicknamed him "Rookie Jun".The first time Mr. Harada called Tamano like that, he frowned, showing a dissatisfied expression.It's just that Mr. Harada's nickname seems to be difficult to change once it is confirmed, and it will even continue to be called. For example, Mashima Taiichi is still called "Eyelash-kun", and Watatani seems to have always been called "Glasses". Jun".For this reason, Tamano also complained to Mahiru in private, that he could only be a rookie forever... At that moment, he seemed to be a little confused about his future.

However, Yu Ye's talent in song cards is obvious to all.He has a good head and good physical strength and explosiveness.After carefully watching a two-two match between beginners, Mr. Harada suddenly realized and commented on Yu Yedao: "It turns out that our rookie-kun is the fusion of Chihaya and Eyelash-kun!"

He laughed out loud, and patted Yuye's back with his broad palms.Somehow, later Yu Ye seemed to approve of the nickname that made him quite dissatisfied.

During the short month of training at Baibohui, the two first-year novices gradually became familiar with Chihaya.

In Mahiru's eyes, Chihaya is really just like Oe-senpai said, a kapai fanatic who only thinks about kapai.However, as the days passed, there seemed to be something more in Qianzao's eyes that gradually increased.

Tamano said, "Probably because Mashima-senpai hasn't come all this time."

Mahiru's heart sank, because Tamano has always been the emperor of prophecy, especially for that kind of thing, he has a terrifying intuition that surpasses ordinary people.

During that summer vacation, Mashima Taichi seemed to have evaporated from the world. He neither showed up at the venue nor gave Chihaya a contact number.Every time it was lunchtime, Mahiru and Tamano would often see Chihaya sitting in a corner with an unopened bread, anxiously flipping through her cell phone.

At the beginning, she would show all kinds of angry expressions, such as throwing her mobile phone on the ground, and even making up a few feet, cursing "Taiyi bastard, why didn't you contact me!" and other words.Gradually, she became less angry and instead frowned with concern.Later on, I saw her open the phone again and again with hope, and then close it in disappointment.

Whenever Chihaya noticed two first-year novices looking at her, she seemed to turn into vitality in a second, walking over stretching her limbs, saying "practice practice", and then kissing them affectionately Shoulder.But both Mahiru and Tamano noticed that the smile she forced from the corner of her mouth was obviously trying to hold on.

In the practice before the school started, Tamano unexpectedly defeated Ayase-senpai who was an A-level.Everyone present was surprised and praised Tamano's bright future, but only Mahiru who had been watching the game knew that Chihaya's performance was not even half of his usual level.

"Without Mashima-senpai by your side, is this the only level of senior sister?"

Listening to Tamano's slightly sarcastic words, Chihaya froze in place for a long time, unable to move.

After leaving the White Wave Club that day, Mahiru and Tamano walked together in the damp sunset.The torrential rain finally stopped for a long time. Walking on the wet road, he crossed the street, bypassed the shopping street, and walked aimlessly all the way to the Rainbow Bridge.Mahiru has been following behind him, silently watching his back.

There is a hint of coolness in the night wind at the end of summer, and the neon lights in sight are shining with colorful lights.Tokyo Bay flowed quietly in front of the two of them like this. Since Mahiru came to this city, she has never enjoyed the beautiful scenery here calmly like this.Tokyo has a completely different development from Shimanto City, but compared to the rural fields in memory, it makes people feel indescribably lonely.

"Shall we... help a group of Ayase-senpai?"

"Uh-huh?"

Mahiru suddenly woke up and looked up at Tamano's back. The night wind blew over his large water-blue T-shirt, revealing the tight lines of his waist.

He suddenly turned around and said to the girl: "Senior, she still cares about Mashima-senpai, and Mahiru can feel it too. After school starts tomorrow, gather the people from Katabe, and I will talk to Komano-senpai and Nishida-senpai Let's discuss it, Oe-senpai and Hanano-senpai will leave it to Mahiru."

"Yeah." Mahiru nodded in a daze, still unable to reflect.

The summer wind messed up the hair of the two of them, and their faces standing opposite each other seemed even more abrupt in the passing vehicles.The sound of the waves in the bay hits my ears, and something is stirring my heartstrings.

It was the first time Mahiru saw Tamano showing such an expression.Yu Ye, who has always maintained her arrogance, would take the initiative to care for others, and even make efforts to help others, which is extremely new to her.

"What's wrong?" Yu Ye asked curiously, tilting his head.

The girl shook her head with a smile, and replied: "I never knew, Yu Ye-kun, so he is a gentle person."

In the wind, Yu Ye's cheeks seemed to be a little red, he moved his mouth, but after all, he couldn't say any rebuttal words to her.

The rain that had been falling since the morning meeting finally stopped during the lunch break, and the activity room of Utaratabe was opened with a bang.

Dajiang Zuo raised his head, looked at the boys who appeared at the door, and turned to the girl beside him in surprise and asked, "Huh? Did Classmate Yuliang bring you here?"

Nishida Yuzheng, who was still gnawing on the meat bun, shook his head, pointed to Tamano who appeared behind him, and said, "It's this guy. What about an emergency situation, such as a collection of Utabubu."

Komano adjusted his glasses and said, "Is it about Mashima? The third grade has already spread the word."

Tamano, Nishida, Komano, and Tsukuba had just entered the activity room and sat down when a sound of trotting came from far and near in the corridor.The sliding door that was closed just now was suddenly pulled open by someone, and Hanano appeared in everyone's sight with a distressed expression.

"It's terrible. I just heard from the class teacher that the senior teacher is discussing about Mashima-senpai. Mashima-senpai may have to suspend school from this semester!"

"what!"

Hanano's speech stirred up waves, and the half-eaten meat bun in Nishida's hand fell to the ground. His slightly heavy body suddenly stood up from the chair and pushed the table in front of him halfway forward. step.

"Hano, where did you hear the news, what's going on with that Mashima guy!"

Komano stopped the impulsive Nishida with one hand, and said to the girl who was frozen at the door, "Hano, is the source of the news reliable?"

Hanano swallowed, and nodded nervously: "There should be nothing wrong. I heard that Mashima-senpai's father has a very serious illness and lives in Mashima General Hospital. That disease seems to be pancreas, gland? Eh ..."

"Pancreatic cancer?" Tamano added.

Hanano nodded, and continued: "That's right, that's it. I heard that the operation is very risky, and there is a high possibility that it will not be cured. In short, it is very scary, so Mashima-senpai has to suspend classes for a month urgently. Today, after he finished his speech at the opening morning meeting, he handed over the application for suspension of school to the senior teacher. Some students undoubtedly saw the application in the office, and then the news spread.”

"But Mashima is already in the third grade, won't it affect his graduation?" Nishida asked worriedly.

Komano lowered his head and pondered: "Mashima's grades should not affect his graduation, besides, as long as public schools like ours don't have too many days of absence, it's only one month, and the school should have no reason to stop Mashima's graduation. Island leave school."

"Isn't Mashima's mother super scary, Mr. Principal should be completely overwhelmed!"

After Tsukuba's reminder, the second and third grade members seemed to lower their heads knowingly.

"Then, does Ayase-senpai know about this?"

It was Yu Ye who broke everyone's silence, and his words made everyone's nerves tense again.

"By the way, when the morning meeting ended, Chihaya went to see the minister."

"When?"

"In the gymnasium, Mahiru and I both saw it."

Mahiru nodded following Tamano's words: "But we didn't hear what they were talking about. Given Mashima-senpai's character, maybe he wouldn't tell Ayase-senpai."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone turned their attention to her.

Mahiru's heart beat violently, and then said: "Because the senior has been protecting the whole Utabe, right?"

"It's good when he persuaded us to join the club, or when he took us to Omi Shrine. During the team competition, he always encouraged everyone and served as the spiritual pillar of Ruize. Whether he wins or loses, He hopes that his companions around him can win. That kind of Mashima-senpai is the head of the Ruize Utabu Department in my eyes." Mahiru finished speaking in one breath, and then looked around at the people in the activity room, "Mashima Senpai has always been protecting everyone in Utabu, so I think if it was Senpai, he might not have told us such frustrating news."

Everyone in front of them was silent, and a trace of haze crossed everyone's face.Everyone seemed to be seriously thinking about Mahiru's words, and showed signs of agreement.

At this moment, another figure suddenly appeared in front of the activity room.

"Sister..."

Yu Ye's voice broke everyone's contemplation, and everyone turned their attention to the girl who appeared at the door of the activity room.

Chihaya's expression was as if she had lost her soul, she supported the sliding door with one hand, stared at Hanano with a pair of absent-minded eyes, and asked in a daze: "That...Taiyi, he is going to drop out of school, and Dad...Really? "

"Qianhao..." Xiaozao approached her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Taiyi didn't tell me anything, I obviously asked him, but he just said..." Qianhao's voice stopped abruptly.

"Chihaya, what's wrong with you."

Chihaya murmured to himself while shaking his shoulders: "Taiyi said he's fine, he'll be fine, he told me not to worry about him. He also told me to pay more attention to my studies, he said to me I talked a lot, what should I do... I seem to almost lose my memory now."

"This is obviously what he explained to you before he left."

Nishida KY's interjection quickly received contempt from everyone. He realized that he had said something wrong, so he looked away, slammed his fist on the table, and vented his anger: "That guy Mashima really doesn't treat us as a person. Friends, you didn’t tell us about such an important thing.”

"Anyway, the most important thing now is to find Mashima." Komano pointed out.

Hanano seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Oh no, I seem to have seen Mashima-senpai being picked up by a car at the school gate just now!"

"Why didn't you talk about such an important matter earlier!" Xiaozao complained.

Koma Ye glanced at the watch in his hand: "It's lunch break now, and there are still four hours before school ends, what should everyone do?"

"Are you going?" Yuno interjected.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, as if they had made a decision in their hearts in an instant.

"Ayase, let's go, let's go find Mashima together!"

Following Nishida's words, the third graders rushed towards the door.

"Hanano, Tsukuba, Yura, Tamano, you stay here, Utabe is up to you!"

"We will definitely bring the minister back!"

"Rui Ze Ge has many songs, and there must be no one left!"
