[Flower card love] turned into a thousand winds

When she stepped into the gymnasium, Mahiru realized that the performance had already started.

With her waist bent, she carefully stretched out a finger to her lips, signaling to Yuye behind her to keep quiet.

After the intermission music slowly dissipated, the huge curtain was slowly opened, and melodious bamboo string music sounded from the large speakers on both sides, and the stage set under the spotlight was a gorgeous ancient style.

With the sound of background music, a slender female voice narrated from the loudspeakers around the gymnasium: "Xian Ji Liu Biluo, we are wandering around the beautiful shadow."

Attracted by the beautiful tune, the students in the audience turned their attention to the bright stage.

From the left and the right of the curtain, two tall figures slowly stepped out. The woman was wearing a gorgeous single dress, and the skirt behind her was dragging to the floor.The man standing opposite her was dressed in black brocade, and his tall hat could not conceal his clean temperament.The two stood facing each other at both ends of the stage, watching each other's figure from a distance with their eyes. The white and warm yellow stage lights shone on their bodies, giving them a sense of beauty beyond the world.

The students in the audience who just wanted to join in the fun were stunned, and they sat up and quietly enjoyed the performance on the stage.

Tamano and Mahiru, who had finally settled down in the auditorium, looked at the two people on the stage in surprise. They did not overlap with the expected figure, and replaced the boy with coral-colored hair with a man with neat short hair.

"It's Shin Watani." Tamano and Mahiru, who became alert, looked at each other, but saw that the girl also had a blank expression on her face, "Didn't Senior Mashima come?"

"Yes, it seems that it has always been Mashima's fate to always be absent from such important occasions."

A male voice suddenly sounded beside Yu Ye, making the two of them look in the direction of the speaker.Komano Tsutomu, who was sitting on the seat, was wearing thick lenses. He quietly opened the DV player in his hand and put it on the tripod beside him.

"Komano-senpai, Mashima-senpai..."

"Mashima's father's condition seems to have changed."

"what?"

"But don't worry, he sent a text message just now, and everything seems to have settled down now." After fixing the digital device, Komano took out the phone from his pocket, tuned to the text message screen, and handed it over to Tamano and Mahiru past.

"Even if I can't come, I hope we can fulfill his wish and leave the most beautiful moments of many songs on this stage. Even if I can't participate, we are still cheering for all of us from a long distance. This is true. Island." Komano said silently, although his tone was flat, but he couldn't hide the wavering in his heart, "In the past three years, as a minister, he really worked too hard."

"Komano-senpai..."

Tamano and Mahiru, who were a bit confused, listened to Komano's words silently. Perhaps this little senior who doesn't like to talk too much can honestly say what he has always wanted to fight with him in front of them, the first graders. The words of my companions who have been with me for three years.

"After I came into contact with Gepa, I realized that everything in the world became possible. I abandoned the way I used to live, and started to contact the new world. To be able to take that step, honestly, even the current Sometimes it’s hard to believe myself.”

"So the senior has found his ideal?"

"Yeah." Komano stared at the stage and nodded lightly, "So Tamano, Yura, thank you very much for being able to join Utabe."

"what?"

Koma Ye, who pressed the record button of the DV machine, looked at the two people sitting next to him: "I really hope that Ruize's song card team can continue after we graduate. I don't know if it will be possible. A little too selfish?"

Komano-senpai had never seen such an expression before, Yuye deeply felt a trace of strong expectation from the thin shoulders and short figure at that moment.

For Tamano, his understanding of Komano Tsutomu has always been on a serious and meticulous level.Of all the third-year seniors, he has the least distinct personality.Neither has Ayase-senpai's occasionally a little aggressiveness, nor Nishida-senpai's personality that can be familiar with anyone.He is not like Oe-senpai who will severely point out once a newcomer makes a mistake. Although he has some shadows of Minister Mashima in terms of effort and responsible attitude, but in terms of presence, he is much weaker than Minister Mashima. .

It's just that Yu Ye, who has fought against Koma Ye once, knows that he may be the target that he, a newcomer to Kara, longs for.

A resourceful man who puts technology and strategy first, Komano Tsutomu is the strategist of the entire team.It is precisely because of his existence that Utabe, who does not have a professional mentor, can gradually reach the top of the Japanese high school contest championship and become the king team that disdains all major high schools.

However, someone like Komano-senpai who knows too well what can be achieved and what cannot be achieved, even began to have small expectations for Ruize's future. This alone is enough to shock Yuye .

"Senior, we will also find our ideals."

Komano Mian slowly looked towards the straight-backed boy sitting next to him.

"In the near future."

The watch on his hand is already pointing to 4 pm, and Ruize's cultural festival should be coming to an end.Standing outside the ward separated by a window, Tai Yi quietly watched the clockwise ticking second hand with his head lowered, and the boulder that was lifted in his heart finally sank slowly.

It's over, his third grade.

Looking at his father who fell asleep on the hospital bed, and his mother who was lying on the bedside with a tired face, he frowned, and the grooves of his clenched fists were covered with deep and shallow fingernail marks.

It's been a long time since I've been so nervous, not even the string in my head was so tense during the Kapai final.Perhaps because of this relationship, Tai Yi really saw clearly the most important thing in his life.

As the eldest man, he has something more important than his own ideals, which is to protect his family and those he cherishes.

Taiyi, who has never understood why he fell in love with Gepai, has finally begun to realize that his dedication to Gepai is not because he wants to beat anyone, nor is he the one who has been fighting with Ruize's partners for three years. I want to prove myself, but I just want to create an environment that can bring everyone closer to my ideal for my cherished companions.

Wanting to help others, wanting to be by someone's side, this kind of reason that sounds a little ridiculous is the opportunity for him to start liking Gepai.There is another home for him. Looking back on the miracles he and his companions have created again and again, everyone's smiles and tears made him feel satisfied from the bottom of his heart.

Gepai is not his ideal, his ideal is to watch over those who love Gepai.

"elder brother."

Lihua's slender voice came from behind, Taiyi looked back and saw that Lihua's eyes were still red, and although he tried hard to keep his emotions calm, he became more and more choked up.

This is the family that I have been neglecting all this time.Their weakness, their cowardice, their loneliness that was once hidden in their lonely hearts and not seen by others, are displayed in front of him at this moment.

They need themselves, more than anyone else.

"Rika, come here."

Following Taiyi's call, the girl froze for a moment, and finally took a step forward, walking in the direction of Taiyi step by step.

When Lihua stood in front of Taiyi, she raised her head and looked into Taiyi's eyes.I don't know if it was because the lights on the ceiling were too glaring, and the eye sockets that were about to dry up the tears started to sting again.

With a puff, a warm embrace embraced Lihua's small body.

Taiyi's soft hair disturbed Lihua's neck, he squatted down and hugged his younger sister's trembling shoulders.Then, he suddenly felt a burst of hot and humid water wet his back.

"Brother is too cunning." Lihua's sobs gradually sounded, "Obviously he only cares about those outsiders, obviously he only wants to chase his own life, but why..."

"I'm sorry, Rika." Taichi hugged Rika's thin shoulders further.

"Why do I feel so much like my father when I hug someone..."

Amidst Lihua's crying, Taiyi's heart was hit dully.

Is it because Lihua, who has always been on the same line with her mother and complains a lot about her favorite song, is it because she is afraid that he will gradually alienate her because of playing songs?So in my sister's heart, does he exist like a father?

He has never known how much Lihua, who grew up under the strict education of his mother, yearns for Taiyi's care.For her busy father and Taichi who never really looked at her family, Rika has always been lonely.Although he often treated himself coldly, Taiyi forgot that when he was young, Li Hua was really clinging to himself.I don't know when she started, she has become accustomed to using a fake strength to cover herself up, gradually closing her heart, and putting on an air of invincibility.

"Brother, please, give up."

Taiyi let go of his embrace, staring blankly at his sister.

"Give up Kara, give up that person named Ayase Chihaya, my mother and I need you, I don't want to lose my father, I don't want to lose my brother, I don't want to lose anyone."

For the first time, hearing such a cry from his younger sister, Taichi realized what his father's worries had been all along.Mom and sister, under the strong appearance, have a heart that is even more fragile than themselves. Too many restrictions are just because they are afraid that they will lose them one day.

"Rika, when does it start?"

"..."

"I'm not keeping a good eye on the house."

Taiyi lowered his head, the hair on his forehead covered his expression, making Lihua unable to see clearly, she could only faintly realize his fluctuating emotions at the moment from Taiyi's trembling shoulders.He left that sentence as if blaming himself, and he never raised his head to look at Li Hua again.

—— Taichi is definitely not an idiot, that is his gentleness.

For some reason, Miyatani's new face appeared in Lihua's mind at this moment.Once resented Tai Yi for valuing others more than his own family, Rika, but was defeated by him in the brief conversation with Mitani Shin that day.

The Taiyi in his mouth is completely different from the elder brother in his impression.Or, the brother she had never seen on the field was the real him.Regarding her brother's understanding, she actually lost to an outsider.

When meeting with Miyatani Shin, Li Hua felt ashamed.Just like now she is facing Tai Yi squatting in front of her, under his slightly lonely figure, she begins to regret what she blurted out just now.

"Brother, don't you..."

Li Hua couldn't help reaching out and brushing away the forehead hair in front of Tai Yi, but her wrist was grabbed by the man in the next second.

"I'm sorry Lihua, I've worked hard for you all this time."

"From now on, this family, you and mother, will be protected by me."

"I'll give up, Singer and...her."

Lihua was slightly startled, in front of her was Taiyi's melancholy but firm eyes.
