Chapter 205 Graduation Ceremony Part [-]
Class C for one year, self-study class.

Supporting his head with one hand, Naruse looked down at the notes, and turned the pen with the other hand, but it was difficult to concentrate as usual.

There was a faint sound of the radio coming from the gymnasium.

It's not just him, no one in the classroom can focus on the eyes at this moment.

The spinning pen fell firmly into the palm of his hand, and he casually wrote down half a British proverb in the notebook.

“March comes in like a lion.”

March of this year came sooner than expected.

The first day of March is also the day when the third-year students of Tianjin High School graduate.

At this time, the graduation ceremony of the third grade was going on in the Tsugo Gymnasium.

On the radio, Mr. Principal's speech is coming to an end.

"...The days at Tsumae High School are over, but your life is just beginning now. Take a bold step forward—"

The subsequent applause lasted for a long time, and it could be heard in the classroom without the spread of the radio.

In the self-study class, there is no teacher sitting on the stage, and the communication below is relatively restrained.

"The principal's speech is over." Someone said, "Next is the graduate representative's speech."

"Who is this year's graduate representative, the last student council president?"

"Where is it his turn? Of course it's Takikawa's sister, the third-year scholar...she seems to have been admitted to Northeastern University."

I have already been admitted, Naruse said in his heart.

A few nights ago, Takikawa Tsuki's Northeastern University admission notice was also passed in his hand.

He glanced back at Hikari Takigawa, she also looked at him, and said:

"Chunhai, it's almost Yue's turn to speak on stage, let's go and have a look."

"……Now?"

"Yeah." Hikaru Takikawa stood up, and walked out through the back door of the classroom in a dignified manner.

Naruse looked at Shangzi, she nodded, showing no intention of following.

He also got up and left the classroom.

"Ah, Takikawa and Naruse are out..."

"I'm going to the gym."

"Quiet, I'm still in class." The chairman of Class C looked at the two people in the corridor, feeling very helpless, but he couldn't control them either.

He was lucky enough that no one else imitated it.

The two were about to go down the stairs in the middle, and walked outside Class E classroom, Naruse glanced inside, and met Morimi's slightly surprised eyes.

"..."

She glanced at Hikaru Takikawa who was walking in front again, and quickly understood.

——After all, even Hai Xing can see the plan of the two of them, and they are ready to move.

But before the two people in the corridor reached the front door of the classroom, she couldn't help it.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Hai Xing said this to the chairman, got up and left the classroom.

Watching the three people disappear, Morimi yawned, lowered his head and continued to read.

"...Next item: Takikawa Tsuki, the representative of the third-year graduates, speak on stage..."

There was a sound on the radio, and Hikari Takikawa quickened his pace.

Going down to the first floor, the third-grade classrooms are already empty.

As Hai Xing walked, he turned his head to look, and bumped into Naruse who suddenly stopped.

"..."

He glanced back, said nothing, and turned back again.

Supporting his back with his hands, Hai Xing noticed a teacher appeared in front of him.

"The first grade is not over yet." Looking at the three of them, he said to Takikawa Hikaru.

She clasped her hands together, "Please——"

He waved his hand, glanced at Naruse and Haixing behind him, and turned back to the staff room.

The three hurried past here.

"I remember that Shu Chuan was usually very strict..." Hai Xing still remembered the teacher's reprimand to him just now.

"The only exception is today." Naruse said.

"It's okay, he knows me." Hikaru Takikawa looked back at them, "Quick, it will start right away."

Passing through the corridor, the three came to the entrance of the gymnasium.

Hikaru Takigawa poked his head inward, and the teachers standing behind immediately looked over. They thought it was a third grader who was late, but when they saw the color of her tie, they were surprised. Tube.

She walked in directly, and then turned her head to greet Naruse and Haixing.

"..."

Sensing the gaze projected from left and right, Hai Xing lowered his head and followed Naruse closely, but bumped into him again when he stopped.

"Feel sorry……"

"Shhh." He didn't turn his head, he waved his hands behind his back, and looked at the other side of the gymnasium.

The representatives of the third-year graduates had already stepped onto the stage and walked to the microphone at this time.

"Response."

Facing the microphone, Takigawa Tsuki looked at the teachers, students and parents sitting below, and then at the entrance of the gymnasium, where there were three more standing figures.

Every figure looked familiar, and she laughed.

"Come to March, in the cold spring, I can gradually feel a little different from yesterday's warmth.

In this season when the snow has not yet melted and spring quietly sends greetings, our third grade students also ushered in the moment of graduation. "

Naruse looked from a distance, and then looked at Takikawa Hikari beside him. She listened more attentively than the third-year graduates in front.

And Hai Xing was still looking around, feeling a little uneasy.

"It's okay, those teachers don't have time to talk to us now." He whispered.

"Um……"

Hai Xing nodded slowly, moved closer to him, and looked forward.

The third-grade students sit neatly together according to the class, and the teachers of each third-grade class are in front of them.On the seats on both sides of the students are the parents of the graduates who were invited to participate in the graduation ceremony.

For example, Guang and Sister Yue's parents.

She came to school with the Takigawa family this morning - Sister Yue asked her to help her put on light makeup, and then drove her to school by the way.

The Tsugao Brass Band appeared on the stage early, and was waiting quietly at the side.

This stage now only belongs to one person.

"...Growth will never stop, and in the soil of Jin Gao County, what we get is not only the nourishment of knowledge, but also the warm care of the teachers like sunshine, and the spring rain of the seniors and juniors of all grades. Nourishment. Yes, the growth will not stop, the three years in Jin Gao..."

"...The sweat and tears that have been shed will always infiltrate the land of Jin Gao, and it will never freeze, because this is the starting point of spring and our starting point.

I wish you all good health, and wish the prefectural Jin Gao a better development in the future.

Let's go together towards the future.

Graduate Representative, Takikawa Tsuki. "

Amid the prolonged applause from the audience, the graduate representative bowed deeply and ended his speech.

The three people standing at the back continued to clap their hands.

"Next item, school song chorus—"

The wind band on the stage played again, and the familiar melody resounded throughout the stadium.

After the chorus ended, the graduation ceremony ended, and the three of Naruse left first.

Not long after returning to the classroom, Naruse heard the movement of the third graders below.

After a while, the bell for the end of get out of class rang.

"Go and see."

People kept leaving the classroom, going downstairs to say goodbye to the familiar seniors from the third grade, or just to watch the fun.

Naruse and Shangzi also came to the corridor, lying on the guardrail, looking at the courtyard below.

The weather is fine today, and people are taking pictures everywhere.

Besides Takikawa Yue, the two had no other acquaintances in the third grade, so they didn't go down to join in the fun.

"Ah." Shangzi looked somewhere.

Naruse also looked over, and saw a familiar second-year girl pulling a third-year boy to an invisible place.

"Sister Inagawa?"

"Ah."

It was a senior from the Restoration Department.

The two saw many familiar faces underneath one after another, either congratulating the senior on graduation with a smile on their faces, or reluctant to part.

Just as they are closer to the second graders, the current second graders have come here under the care of the seniors of the third graders.

"there……"

Shangzi also noticed a third grader in a corner surrounded by a group of second graders.

"It's Ito-senpai."

Naruse also looked over and found that there were surprisingly many familiar faces over there, all members of the Restoration Department.

In addition, there is also an "acquaintance" from the handicraft club, Ritsuko Sugiyama.

"That person is..."

"The former head of the Handicraft Club, Rei Ito-senpai."

Naruse looked at Rina Ogawa who was wiping away tears, "I see."

"Shangzi going down to say hello?"

"Forget it."

She shook her head, "Although I am an old minister, when I entered the handicraft club, I had already retired from the third grade. She probably doesn't know me."

Naruse nodded without saying anything.

The two watched from a distance for a while, and the preparatory bell rang, and the short break between classes was over.

Back in the classroom, when the bell rang for class, Naruse looked back again.

Hikaru Takikawa's seat was still empty.
