After the farewell party in the dormitory, the group followed Yumiko Iwase to the station as planned.
But of course it is impossible for all members to go together. Unlike the situation at the beginning of this year, doing so now would be a bit ostentatious. It's just in batches, with a few people in each batch saying goodbye to the girl at the station.
Although the atmosphere of farewell is sad, it has the foreshadowing of the previous game, which dilutes a lot of the sentimentality. It is still acceptable and will not make you cry like the first time.
One by one, the members took turns to come forward. The farewell gifts had been given privately during the recording of the program a few days ago. There was no need to give them again today, so they were just words.
Occasionally, someone like a certain mayonnaise star would step forward to hug, but when a certain squad leader was also infected by the atmosphere and wanted to step forward to hug with red circles, everyone hurriedly stopped him.
Nonsense, haven't you seen that Ruoyue's face next to her is gradually darkening...
When it was Baiyunshan's turn, she naturally said goodbye with emotion. After that, looking at everyone present, Yumiko Iwase had a complex expression on her face, and suddenly said: "By the way, Baiyun-san... no, it should be everyone. That’s right, I suddenly had an idea, and I didn’t know whether to say it or not—”
Baiyunshan asked curiously: "What do you think?"
However, what is somewhat surprising is that the eldest sister among the members, who has always given the impression of the free and bold Iwase Yumiko, became a little squeamish at this time, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, it is not a very powerful idea. , I just thought of it suddenly, and I feel a little childish when I think about it... It’s better not to say it.”
Everyone hurriedly advised: "Speak, speak, speak."
"Then I'll say it."
Yumiko Iwase smiled coyly and said, "I think... should we pick a time to get together again in the future?"
"Get together?"
"Yeah, it's not just a simple gathering of a few people, but the kind where everyone has to be there, everyone is together, and they have to come no matter what! The location... I chose Baiyun Come to Sangna, I think the cabin is pretty good——"
"When?"
Everyone hurriedly asked questions.
"As for time... let's just say ten years. In ten years, we will all get together, just in the hut. What do you think?"
Yumiko Iwase said expectantly.
"ten years?"
Everyone looked at each other, and then they all laughed. Ten years later, everyone would get together again. It was exactly as the girl said. It was a bit childish when I thought about it, but this feeling... was not bad at all. Woolen cloth.
"OK!"
Erika Ikuta is always the first to agree, bouncing lively and saying excitedly: "Let's get together in the cabin in ten years! Everyone is here, it will be very lively just thinking about it!"
"Yeah, yeah, I feel good too!"
Shiraishi Mai also nodded quickly, and then looked at the girl next to her: "Where are you, Nanamin?"
Nana Hashimoto thought calmly for a moment: "Ten years...I will be almost thirty years old in ten years. I really can't imagine what I will be like at that time -"
"But it's okay to get together."
Everyone else also agreed without hesitation.
Xiao Feiniao smiled mischievously: "But ten years from now, sister Youmei will already be over thirty, right? She will already be a veritable aunt~"
The other Virgin who was lying on the gun for no apparent reason smiled helplessly, stretched out her hand and pinched the girl's cheek, puffing her cheeks while squinting her eyes and said: "Ten years later, Asuka will be in her twenties, and she will already be an adult. , if we all get married, I will let you be the bridesmaid every day, and you will be exhausted——"
The girl, whose cheeks were pinched so hard, could only mumble a cry for help: "It's not good! The Holy Mother is angry——"
Everyone laughed.
"What about you? Baiyun-sang?"
As he said that, everyone couldn't help but look at someone.
Baiyunshan shrugged and said with a strange expression: "You have already occupied my place ten years in advance. What else can I do? Of course, I can only participate together."
Everyone cheered, and Yumiko Iwase nodded happily. She took a long breath, as if she had put down a heavy burden, and sighed with a smile on her face: "That's it! For that scheduled party ten years later, Everyone must live well, be happy, and live your life well every day!"
"Um!"
"So everyone..."
Yumiko Iwase smiled and waved vigorously: "See you in ten years!"
"さよなら!"
"さよなら!!!"
...
...
The farewell for the first graduating member of Nogizaka46 has come to an end.
After bidding farewell to Iwase Yumiko, the members who still had work today naturally went to work, and the remaining young idols also dispersed, either going back to the dormitory in twos or threes, or going to do what they like.
Baiyunshan and Hashimoto Nana are traveling together.
"Sister Yumi...that's how you graduated."
They walked in silence all the way. They had just experienced the kind of parting atmosphere. They were crying and laughing. Both of them had quite complicated moods. They seemed to not know what to say. In the end, it was the girl who spoke first, breaking the strange atmosphere: "Just now It suddenly occurred to me that autumn, in addition to being the autumn of appetite and the autumn of art, is also the autumn of farewell——"
Baiyunshan nodded: "This is her choice after all."
Regarding the members' choices, Baiyunshan will interfere, put forward opinions, express his own opinions and analyze the pros and cons of their interests, but one thing he will never do is change the choices that the members have already decided. .
Because this is respect.
Respecting every member's choice is his bottom line and what he requires of himself.
"It's just that Baiyun-sang actually really wants Sister Yumei to stay, right?"
Hashimoto Nana tilted her head and looked at him and said.
"yes."
Baiyunshan did not deny it, and said frankly: "Actually, not just Iwase, but every one of you, I hope to stay forever."
Hashimoto Nana smiled and said: "How can there be such a thing? No one can be an idol for a lifetime, everyone will leave sooner or later, right? You should know this kind of thing better than us, Baiyun-san, right?"
"Yes, but it's just clear, that's why you have such extravagant hopes, isn't it?"
Baiyunshan said with emotion.
Just like you chase your dreams just because they are out of reach, some things are just because you know them too clearly, so you hope for situations that seem impossible to happen. It is like a life-saving straw grasped by a drowning person, because only in this way can the powerlessness of the world be relieved.
The same is true for this matter.
Hashimoto Nanami, who felt the same way, could only nod silently.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
It could be seen that the atmosphere seemed to be led astray by him again, and it would become as weird as before. Baiyunshan hurriedly smiled and said: "Nanamin, do you still remember the agreement I made to you before?"
Hashimoto Nana was startled: "What agreement?"
Baiyunshan suddenly felt helpless, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "On the day Qiu Yuan moved into the dormitory, the agreement I made -"
"On Halloween, I actually wanted to tell you, but I was interrupted by that little guy Asuka, so I never had the chance to bring it up. It wasn't until today that I suddenly thought of it again—"
Seeing that the girl still seemed a little confused, Baiyunshan suggested.
"Let's go take a look."
...
...
This is a park.
The back of the park is surrounded by mountains, but the height is not very high, just a slightly sloping hillside. There is an artificial lake on the side, and the water near the shore is lined with small boats, and between the two, a forest path winds through.
Both sides of the path were covered with maple trees. It was already late autumn, and the leaves had already changed from golden to red. They fell from the treetops in pieces as the wind swirled, spreading like a thick carpet. Filled the entire ground. The light of the setting sun shines in, seeming to ignite this thick carpet, emitting the warmth of a flame.
Wherever you look, a fiery red patch has already connected to the sky from bottom to top, merging with the fiery clouds in the distant western sky. It seems as if hundreds of millions of tons of clouds are about to fall at any time. But when the flame burned, it was cool and not hot at all.
Not far away, the laughter of children in the park seemed to be far away. Only the sounds of birds and animals in the forest from time to time and the crisp sound of walking on the stone road echoed in my ears.
The whole world seems to have fallen into the loneliness of late autumn.
Standing on the forest path and looking at the scene in front of her, Hashimoto Nana was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.
"How's it going? Does it look good?"
Baiyunshan smiled and turned to look at her.
"Um."
Nana Hashimoto could only nod lightly.
"I also think it's very beautiful. Ever since I discovered this place, I've come here to take a look every autumn."
Baiyun Mountain withdrew its gaze, and also followed the winding path to the depths of the hillside. Its eyes swept across the thick maple leaves like a carpet, and its eyes were locked on the huge sun disc in the west.
"Because it's really beautiful."
The two of them murmured in unison.
Then they looked at each other in astonishment and couldn't help laughing at the same time.
"Actually, when I saw such a beautiful scenery, I suddenly remembered a book I read in September this year... No, to be precise, I remembered a section of a poem in it. .”
Hashimoto Nana said softly.
The name of the book is "Volume 2 of the Collection of Modern European Poets". It is a very good book. After reading it, the girl has always liked it, especially the poem she mentioned now.
This is the last paragraph of the poem and the climax of the whole poem.
Hashimoto Nana slowly recited: "Whoever does not have a house at this time does not need to build it; whoever is lonely at this time will always be lonely -"
Baiyunshan naturally knows this poem. At the beginning of September, the girl once read every paragraph of this book to him sentence by sentence, and he has already known it by heart.
So he took it up with emotion.
"Just wake up, read, write long letters—"
"On the boulevard, without stopping, wandering——"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Falling leaves!"
