"However, forming a band must be very difficult, right?"
Bai Yunshan continued: "Start over, abandon the idol halo you currently have, and embark on a different path. Start from scratch and work hard for your dreams step by step. It really surprises me that you would choose to do this."
This is indeed the case. Between bands and idols, it is difficult to say which is better between the two paths, but what is certain is that once you choose to start over, that path will definitely be more difficult than the current situation.
This has nothing to do with profit, only courage.
It’s not surprising to be surprised by this.
"Yeah?"
Iwase Yumiko was a little surprised and laughed and said: "Is it a good surprise or a bad surprise?"
"Of course it's good."
Baiyunshan glanced at her and said naturally: "Because it's very cool to be able to change the status quo decisively like you, do what you like, and never look back once you decide -"
"Perhaps someone will make similar decisions in the future under the same circumstances due to your influence..."
As he spoke, his voice paused involuntarily, with a touch of emotion in his tone.
The same is to resolutely give up the idol halo around you, and the same is to choose what you like to do, and once you make up your mind, you will never change. The courage of the two girls is difficult to measure, but the similar determination makes people think a lot, just like people who insist on their faith are also admirable. Perhaps, this is also a kind of inheritance.
Although there are actually subtle differences under the subdivision——
Iwase Yumiko nodded, but she was simply happy and said with a smile: "Eh? Will there be any? Baiyun-san, you didn't think I was about to graduate, so you deliberately said some nice things to make me happy, right?"
"of course not."
Baiyunshan smiled, but had no intention of continuing the topic. He gathered his thoughts and turned to talk about other things.
"However, once you graduate, you will have to find someone else to inherit the title of aunt."
"Can you please not mention Auntie?"
A black line appeared on Iwase Yumiko's forehead, and she said angrily, and then asked curiously: "Will someone inherit the title of aunt? It can't be Mai Mai, right? After I graduated, she was the most popular among the members. Older…wait!”
After saying that, he reacted and threatened with glaring eyes: "I warn you not to do this. Mai Mai is such a gentle person. If you give her the title of aunt and make her cry, I will But I will be angry! Even after graduation, I will not let you go, and I will definitely come back to find you——"
Baiyunshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why did I say that I would give it to Fukagawa? And your tone of voice clearly means you are just graduating. Why do you act like you are dead? You will not let you go even if you do whatever you want to do -"
"Huh, you know the meaning anyway!"
"I know I know."
Baiyunshan nodded helplessly, but couldn't help but wonder in his heart, if Fukawa, the eldest person after the girl left, couldn't do it, who should inherit it——
Do you want Shiraishi? Hmm... If you really think about it, she is the second oldest, so it is not impossible for her to inherit...
After a while.
Most of the sunlight leaking from the blinds was covered in shadows, and the warm tea had been drunk. After rereading the questionnaire to make sure there were no omissions, Baiyunshan nodded: "Okay, that's fine. .”
"OK."
Yumiko Iwase stretched out a long stretch, exhaled and said: "Then I'll leave first. Well... By the way, Baiyun-san, the staff told me that in a few days, it seems that they will make it specially for me. A dog fight, is it true?”
"That's right, just treat it as farewell."
"farewell?"
"yes."
Baiyunshan nodded and joked: "After all, Iwase, you have graduated to form a band. Maybe the future lead singer of a famous band will be the person in front of me! Of course, a small farewell is still needed. I just hope you can come Don’t just pretend not to know us when you get richer—"
"No way!"
Iwase Yumiko said dissatisfied.
Baiyunshan smiled, but then fell silent again, and sighed softly: "So, we are really going to graduate."
The air was somewhat still.
"yes."
Yumiko Iwase pursed her lips.
The autumn wind was refreshing and clean, blowing in from the window, blowing the curtains, and even the questionnaires on the table were flipping.
The sound of traffic on the street sounded so clear at the moment.
"I still feel a little reluctant to part with it."
"How should I put it? After all, I have been here for more than a year, and my relationship with everyone is also very good. Everyone... is really a good group of people——"
Iwase Yumiko raised her lips as she spoke: "They are the kind of friends who can play together, encourage together, and grow together. It can't be called a deep friendship, but it has an indispensable warmth inexplicably. Even if you are busy, When we get up, we all have our own things to do, but just by staying together, there is a unique atmosphere, which makes me always feel at ease. There is a feeling of, ah, it turns out that this is the feeling of Nogizaka—— "
"But I still have to graduate after all."
Baiyunshan said again.
"Yes, I still have to graduate after all."
Yumiko Iwase stopped smiling, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Sooner or later, this day will come."
Baiyunshan nodded slightly and suddenly said: "If...if I tell you that I also want to form a band, would you rather not graduate but stay and be the lead singer of this band?"
"Orchestra?"
Iwase Yumiko was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Let's forget it, Baiyun-san."
"you do not believe?"
Baiyunshan said seriously: "I am serious."
"I know you're serious."
Yumiko Iwase sighed and said, "It's precisely because it's you, Baiyun-san, that I can be more sure that you are serious."
Baiyunshan looked at her puzzled.
"Because only you, Baiyun Sang, would do something like this for us that clearly has nothing to do with you or benefit you—"
Yumiko Iwase sighed with emotion.
"Forming a band will definitely not be an easy task. Although I know you are very good, Baiyun-sang, but to complete this matter in such a hurry, it must take a lot of effort. There are so many resources available. The so-called purpose of time and energy is just to prevent me from graduating. This is really... haha, I don’t even know what to say——"
"Although I am not a person with low self-esteem, I also understand how much I weigh... I am just a little idol, and I am still a little idol who is about to graduate. It is really not worth it."
"So...you mean, you refused?"
Baiyunshan frowned.
Iwase Yumiko smiled and said: "Baiyun-san, please find another solution. In the past, it was you, Baiyun-san, who was thinking about us and bothering you about everything. I'm really sorry. So this time, let me do it." Please worry about it for Baiyun Sang, after all, your little idol is already an adult."
Baiyunshan was silent. After a long while, he shook his head helplessly and said, "You are so willful."
"You are the one who is willful, Baiyun-sang, right? It's a band—"
"What I say is you, you are."
"Okay. However, this is not called willfulness, this is called persistence."
Yumiko Iwase said with a smile.
Baiyunshan sighed: "I hate persistent people like you the most."
"real?"
"—but I also admire it."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Baiyunshan shook his head, finally took a deep breath, smiled on his face, and said softly: "Then, that's it for today."
"Um."
"Happy graduation, Yumiko Iwase."
The girl nodded.
"gone."
