[Flower card love] turned into a thousand winds

"Worries and thoughts meet with bitter rain, and the world sighs in vain. There is no time to appreciate the spring scenery, but the flowers are already withered." (Ninth song)

While holding the song card in his hand, Xiao Zuo said solemnly to the two people in Japanese-style skirts and gowns: "This song is about sad love, and it is a lament for the cherry blossoms that are easy to fade and youth that is hard to stay. The author, Ono Komachi, was a very famous female singer in the early Heian period. According to legend, she is a peerless beauty. But compared to the world’s admiration for her beauty, what shocked me more was her enthusiasm for waka and her amazing talent. "

"Oh." Chihaya, who was located opposite Xiaozao, was writing notes quickly, while nodding with a vague understanding.

The application form for Karutabe to participate in the cultural festival has been officially submitted to the student union through the minister Taiichi Mashima, and in the remaining week, the third graders of Karutabe are tirelessly preparing for the performance.As a director and screenwriter, Oezao mobilized almost all her strength to squeeze Komano and Nishida's spare time for the sacred waka works in her heart.Now, she is conducting special one-to-two training for Chihaya and Taichi who are "actors".

"That's why Chihaya's role is very important. It can be said that you are the soul of the whole play."

Chihaya nodded her head, and just as she was about to record what Xiaozuo said in the book, she suddenly felt as if she was struck by lightning, pointing at herself and said, "Eh? Xiaozuo, you mean to Shall I play that talented and peerless beauty Ono Komachi again?"

"No, no, no, no, no, Ayase is completely unacceptable." Before Xiaozao could reply, Nishida, who was buried in making the background curtain behind him, immediately waved his hand to interrupt, "At best, she can only act in stories like cranes repaying favors. Well, Ono Komachi and the like are completely out of the way."

"Mr. Roubao, pay attention to your wording, it's terrible to offend a girl."

After being reminded by Komanoichi beside him, Nishida realized that there were two slightly red-faced girls on the opposite side.So he immediately closed his mouth sensibly, squatted back into a pool of props, raised his sleeves and said loudly: "Good guy! Start working! Work, work!"

Letting go of Nishida Kazuma's Xiaozao, he turned to Chihaya and said: "There are many legends about Ono Komachi, and the No. 17 song among a hundred people is the author of Chihaya's natal card 'ちはやぶる (Yuyou Shendaishi)' in Yuanyeping , When staying in Mutsu Yato Island, I heard that a woman singing suddenly heard in the middle of the night, and I followed the sound all the way, but only saw a skeleton in the grass. By the way, both of them He was one of the Six Immortals at that time."

"So, Xiaozuo, your focus is...?"

Looking at Chihaya who didn't understand her deep meaning at all, Xiaozao felt chest tightness and shortness of breath: "Don't Chihaya feel that in the dark, he and the character Ono Komachi are destined for each other! The same beauty, the same focus on ideals, the same Beloved."

"puff……"

Suddenly there was a fluttering sound from the pile of props. Just before Xiaozao looked over with murderous eyes, Xi Tian raised his arms again and shouted the slogan "I'm going to work hard! Work hard!" .

"Oe-san wants Chihaya to act as Ono Komachi, so what I mean is Jahara Ippei who found her body?" Taichi, who had been standing by the side without making a sound, interjected, "Performing a play like this at a cultural festival Could it be a little... unlucky?"

"No, no, no." Xiaozao raised both hands, and wrote a big "×" in front of Taiyi, "Minister and Chihaya are of course going to play lovers, what I just said was all about the background, it's a foreshadowing, It's foreshadowing."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Chihaya bit her own tongue in desperation, and couldn't even speak a complete sentence.She turned to Tai Yi with a calm face, and found that the other party was looking at her. In just a moment, she was attracted by those seemingly calm eyes. The heart is slowly devouring.

Ignoring Chihaya's astonishment, Xiaozao showed an expression of "this is a matter of course", and handed the script in his hand to Taiyi and Chihaya: "I want the minister to play Liang Cen Zongzhen, who is also one of the Six Immortals. "

"Liang Cen Zongzhen?"

Xiaozao nodded: "That's right, Zongzhen is the common name of Seng Zhengbenzhao, the author of the No. 12 waka among the [-] people."

Everyone followed Xiao Zuo's gesture and took the "あまつ" card in their hands.

"The mighty sky winds up, and the road in the cloud is not open. The fairy maiden stays in the blue sky, and the beautiful shadow lingers temporarily." (No. 12)" Xiaozai explained while singing this waka, "Every November in the lunar calendar, there will be continuous The 11-day Fengming Festival is held. The emperor entertains the ministers. At the same time, he will also call the girls from the powerful families to come and perform dances to pray for a good harvest every year. This waka describes exactly such a scene, but although it has never It is classified as a love song, but for me, this waka has a deeper emotion than ordinary love songs.”

"Ryozen Zongzhen and Ono Komachi have a childhood friendship, and they often give waka to each other to express their friendship. However, for Ono Komachi, she has a greater goal of pursuing her own ideals. In Zongzhen's eyes, such a The woman fascinated her, but she couldn't touch it. Regarding the legend of Ono Komachi, there is a story about "Major General Fukakusa."

"Major General Fukakusa?"

"It is rumored that Ono Komachi's beauty is well-known far and wide, and has attracted countless men who came to court her. However, she did not accept anyone, but made a request to come and meet for a hundred nights in a row. Many people kept their distance because of this, but There was a man who came every night rain or shine, separated from her by a curtain, and sang and sang to each other. The two fell in love with each other, accompanied by music, chords and chords, but after 99 nights passed, the man missed the appointment on the [-]th night gone."

"why?"

"That night was rainy and bleak. The Shique Bridge, which the man had to pass to go to Ono Komachi's residence, was submerged by the swollen river. The wreckage of the carriage was left on the pier, and there was no one in the car. Ono Komachi thought his beloved was dead. I was very sad, so I entered the palace and became a female official to show off my talent in waka."

While listening carefully, Chihaya secretly glanced at Taichi from the corner of her eye.Taiyi's side face became more and more profound in her eyes, she was dazzled, and actually overlapped the image of Taiyi with the man submerged in the river of Si Que Bridge that Xiaozuo said.An inexplicable heartache lingered in her heart, and she folded her hands carefully to prevent anyone from discovering her abnormal behavior.

"However, after Ono Komachi entered the palace, she ran into her former sweetheart, Cen Zongzhen. At this time, she was surprised to find that Zongzhen was very much like that man. Although she had never witnessed the person who met her for 99 nights The real face of that man is just through the curtain, he has heard his singing like mountains and rivers, but the man's lingering melody, as well as the beautiful and beautiful words, are exactly the same as that man."

"Is the person she missed with Liang Cen Zongzhen?"

Xiaozao nodded, and answered Taiyi's question seriously: "So in the waka I said just now, the last two lines of 'the fairy maiden stays in the blue sky, and the beautiful shadow lingers temporarily', maybe Zongzhen sighed because of God's will. Fools, crossing arms, reaching out but only grasping the sadness of the empty welcome. That night on the turbulent river, he must have wanted to complete the hundred-day agreement with Ono Komachi no matter what, but it was a pity that he ended up Indulging in the waves, even though I got my life back, it is hard to continue my relationship with my true love in this life."

Xiao Zuo lowered his head heavily, as if lamenting the fate of the two protagonists in the Waka.The activity room of Geliu Duobu was silent, and everyone's heart was full of worries, and they fell into the stories told by Xiaozai.

For Tai Yi, maybe his own fate track is not particularly similar to that of Liang Cen Zongzhen, but somehow he can understand Zongzhen's feeling of drowning in the river that night.

There seemed to be a firefly in front of him, passing through the dark gray withered grass, guiding his way forward.After day and night of heart-to-heart communication, the woman in my heart is already within reach. However, the river tide rises, the sound of harsh rainstorm echoes in my ears, and the wooden boards under my feet are smashed into pieces by the raging waves. Under the counterattack of nature, his strength seemed so small.

Involuntarily being drawn into the deep waves, until the ray of fluorescent light in front of him was gradually covered by the icy river, when he sank to the bottom of the river, maybe he realized that even with 99% effort, he could never reach the bottom of the river. Moment before the other side, he couldn't even predict the [-]th test.

There are some things that are missed by the slightest, and the difference is thousands of miles.There are some obstacles that he cannot overcome in his life.

"Minister, what's the matter with you?"

Xiaozao's slightly concerned expression appeared in front of Taiyi, and he rolled up a faint smile, as if he was sorry for his distraction just now: "No, what you just told is indeed a very good story, classmate Ojiang."

After being affirmed, Xiaozai clasped his hands together and turned to the girl who had been standing on the spot like a log from the very beginning: "If Chihaya thinks it's ok, let's get familiar with the script here, there is still a week before the cultural festival. This week, we are going to gamble on the last youthful time of the three years in high school, and everyone who has left many songs will make the best memories together!"

"Oh!"

Complying with Xiaozao's call, everyone in Utamabu raised their hands, except for Chihaya who was still motionless, who lowered his head and remained silent as if he had settled down.

"Chizao?"

Xiaozao worriedly held her arm, but unexpectedly a tear fell on her arm.

Looking up along the crystal water stain, the girl with long hair and shawl was shaking her shoulders slightly, whimpering softly.

Everyone who was completely frightened by Chihaya's reaction gathered around her one after another, asking what happened to her one after another.Even Xiao Zuo, who was very imposing just now, frowned, and asked worriedly: "Is it too much pressure to play that kind of heroine? Sure enough, the time of the week is a bit tight? Do you want me to write the script again?" Make it simpler..."

"No." Chihaya shook her head while raising her hand to wipe away the liquid that kept oozing from her eye sockets, "I just think the story you wrote Xiaozao is so touching, woohoo."

Just now, they were worried about Chihaya, but Nishida and Komano, who were choked by her next sentence, suddenly fainted, especially Nishida yelled carelessly: "Ayase, don't be so scary, okay, that one It's been a long time since the topic, isn't it a bit too late for you to start mourning now!"

"But it's really touching. Even though we like each other, we miss each other. And why we meet for a hundred nights in a row, I don't understand at all."

"This...is required by the plot." Xiaozao replied with some embarrassment.

"If it were me, I would never let Taiyi come for a hundred nights in a row. It would be really hard for him."

"Qianhao..." Xiaozao didn't know how to explain, "That's a legend, it's an act, the minister is not Zongzhen, don't get too involved in the drama."

Chihaya, who was immediately interrupted by Xiaozao, suddenly stopped talking. Under the inexplicable onlookers around her, she realized her embarrassment, so she covered her slightly red nose with her hand, and didn't even raise her head to look in the direction of Taiyi. dare not.

That's right, that one is obviously not Taiyi, but I somehow associate them together.The days and nights when they were childhood sweethearts, supported each other, and struggled together for their common goals and ideals, were so similar to them, so similar.

It's not that she can't understand the mood of Ono Komachi who got Zongzhen's drowning at that moment. After 99 consecutive nights, she has long been used to the other party's company behind the curtain. On the day when the curtain was about to be rolled up, the other party disappeared in front of him forever... The one who couldn't touch the other party with his hands was obviously her.

Chihaya's heart is constantly in turmoil. Apart from the deep-rooted friendship with Taiyi, she should have no other special feelings.But... If one day, Taiyi really disappears beside her, will he be alone?

Hate... Maybe it was because of the thought of that scene that tears welled up in my eyes.

"Drip drip."

A text message from her mobile phone interrupted her thoughts.After Taichi said "Sorry, forgot to mute", he turned to open the phone's cover.

The setting sun outside the activity room scattered the afterglow in front of the leaves, and the crimson fire clouds spilled into the classroom through the reflection of the glass.The light of twilight flickered in Taiyi's eyes, he seemed to hold his breath for a moment, and then handed the phone to Chihaya while keeping the screen turned on.

"Qianzao, he's here."

The sound of tumbling water echoed in his ears, Chihaya stared at Taiyi blankly, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Taichi, how are you and Chihaya? I'm in Tokyo. Shin."
