A world only known by the God of Lost Love

"Also, you have to look at the screen carefully when taking pictures."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...This can't be done!"

Goto Ichiri put down his phone and screamed loudly.

(Looking at Suzuki-san’s face from such a close distance will really drive me crazy!)

"I only asked you to take the picture so that you can refer to my expression... It would be very troublesome for me if you didn't look at the screen."

Ren Suzuki said helplessly:

"Or does my expression look so strange that you can't stand it?"

"No, it's not like that!"

Goto Ichiri shook his head repeatedly.

"Rather, it's quite the opposite...ah, I didn't say anything just now!"

"........."

Seeing Ichiri Goto's busy appearance, Ren Suzuki couldn't help but sigh slightly.

It seems that the reason why she is unable to take photos normally is that in addition to lack of experience, she herself does not seem to have a reasonable understanding of "taking photos".

But it's no wonder. Considering the child's experience and age, she probably really couldn't understand the meaning of taking pictures.

This will not work.

The reason why he brought them here was not to watch Gotou Ichiri make a fool of himself.

Although a large part of the reason for this trip is just to relax these girls who have been rehearsing hard, but in addition, he also has another very important purpose——

"Goto-san."

"……Yes?"

“In your opinion, what is the purpose of people taking photos?”

"…………"

After hearing this, Goto Ichiri was stunned for a long time, and then said in an uncertain tone:

"For... to be able to post it online to show off to others?"

"Well, although it does have this purpose, for most people, taking pictures is to record the scenes they think are worth remembering in the form of photos and keep them as souvenirs."

Ren Suzuki said:

"Just like the wedding photos of your parents, and the photos of you and your family when you were in school. They are all to record this unrepeatable time forever and to appreciate it again and again in the future."

"A time that cannot be replicated..."

Hearing this word, Goto Ichiri blinked.

"As for photos...can't I take them again at any time..."

"It's not that simple."

Suzuki Ren chuckled and shook his head.

"As time goes by, people will always undergo various changes. Just like you can't take photos of your junior high school days now, some things only exist at this moment... For example, just after the establishment of the The band, and you are about to start official activities. Although you can come here countless times in the future, as the band's 'first trip', there is only one time."

"!"

Hearing this, Goto Ichiri's eyes suddenly widened.

For this young girl who had just entered high school, she never realized this.

The lonely and bleak junior high school career in the past did not leave her with any memorable memories. Because of this, she never thought about "recording" anything.

However, after listening to Suzuki Ren's words, she finally realized how precious and memorable what she was experiencing... was.

She raised her head and looked at the other three girls.At this time, they were also looking at him, their eyes full of curiosity and concern.

"Goto-san."

"Yes."

"Do you like your band?"

"like."

"Do you like everyone in the band?"

"My favorite..."

"So, do you want to record this irreproducible and memorable first time out with everyone?"

"………………yes."

Gotou Isato nodded seriously and slowly.

"I want to record it with everyone..."

"very good."

Ren Suzuki took the phone back from Ichiri Goto's hand with a smile, and then asked again.

"So, can we start filming next?"

"……Yes!"

This time, Goto Yisato nodded seriously.

"I will... cooperate well!"

"very good."

After receiving a positive answer, Suzuki Ren also stood up and said to the three girls who were watching:

"There will be no problem next. You three, you can start filming... Eh? Kita-kun? What are you doing here?"

"Hello! Do you have time now?"

Under Suzuki Renna's confused gaze, Kita Ikuyo suddenly walked to the street and struck up a conversation with a passing girl:

"If possible, could you please take a photo for the five of us? Ah! Thank you very much, I can just use my mobile phone!"

"Eh? Wait... Kita-san?!"

After hearing Kita Ikuyo's words, Suzuki Ren suddenly shouted in surprise:

"I didn't plan to enter the group photo, so there's no need to bother the lady and she didn't—"

"Haha~ What nonsense are you talking about? You are the one who said you want to leave a souvenir for the first trip of 'ending the band', right? If that's the case, of course you have to come with us."

Yijizhi Hongxia smiled and pulled him to the graffiti wall.

“We’ll take a headshot of the four of us later, but before that, we’d better take a real group photo first!”

"But……"

"No buts! Suzuki-san is also an important member of our ending band. Since we want to leave a memory, we must not leave you behind!"

"Eh……"

"...Ha, you shot yourself in the foot."

Yamada Ryo looked at this guy with a face full of astonishment with a joking smile.

"However, I quite agree with what you just said. In order to preserve this precious moment, just obey us. Come on, little Bochi, stand here."

"Yes!"

Under the arrangement of Yamada Ryo, Goto Kazuri came to Suzuki Ren and stood side by side with him.

Immediately afterwards, the other three people stood on both sides with the two of them as the center——

"This is really..."

Seeing that the passerby girl had pointed the camera at them, Ren Suzuki could only accept the reality with a wry smile.

"Well, after finishing the band's first group photo, the shooting will begin soon!"

After everyone took their positions, Ichichi Hongxia shouted with a smile on his face:

"This young lady, I'll leave it to you for the rest!"

"Okay! Then, please look at the camera, 3,2,1, [-], [-]——"

"Thank you, Suzuki-san."

Kacha-!

The shutter is pressed.

The first complete group photo of the ending band was taken.

Chapter 52: The process of searching for things based on pictures is the most likely to make people anxious.

After taking a group photo of the five of them, Goto Kazuri no longer had any objections to taking photos.

In the follow-up photo shoot, although her smile is still not very natural, at least it is no longer as stiff as it was at the beginning——

"If it weren't for these bangs, little Pochi would definitely be cuter."

When inspecting the final product, Ichichi Hongka showed a very uneasy expression.

"Little Pochi will definitely feel very sorry when he looks back at this photo in the future."

The hair that had not been taken care of was slightly raised by the breeze that occasionally blew into the alley, making it look a little funny. Under the fine hair, there was a pair of slightly moist hair, with a hint of shame and smile. Interesting blue eyes.

The several girls around her also had youthful and charming smiles on their faces.

that's it.

For Kazuri Goto, this level of memories and commemorations is enough to form the strength that can support her moving forward.

Even if she throws away the photo of him, she will still have the other three accompanying her.

Even in the distant future, the memories at this time have faded, but... as long as this photo still exists, she will definitely be able to remember this slightly hot early summer noon.

Even if he no longer appears among them, it probably won't matter much.

"Photos like this are enough."

Ren Suzuki said:

"...Sometimes, a little regret may become a very memorable memory in the future."

He thought back to the time when he had first taken a photo with her.

The two people, who were also unfamiliar with the lens, took a photo that was almost prankish at a completely wrong angle and lighting.

The shadows on the face make it impossible to see the facial features clearly, and the awkward posture makes the final effect difficult to describe.

But even so, the two of them still giggled and saved the photo——

...until that happens.

Now that I think about it, I really feel a little regretful.

Although for him at that time, everything related to her brought him endless pain, but at least that photo... it would be nice if he could keep it.

"…………"

Goto Kazuri, who had been peeking at Ren Suzuki, noticed the change in his expression.

Although those beautiful brown eyes were indeed staring at the phone screen, their eyes were distant and profound, as if they were staring at something even more distant.

Sure enough, it's about his ex-girlfriend, right?

After all, taking photos... can easily be associated with photos between couples.

Really enviable.

Even if the two are separated, Suzuki-san will still take her matter to heart.

Although it may seem a bit morbid to say this, Goto Kazuri is very yearning for this kind of relationship that can be deeply entangled with Suzuki Ren.

Of course, if possible, being able to become a couple normally would be the best ending.

"Well, now that the photos are taken, it's time to go to the next stop."

At some point, Ren Suzuki had put away her phone and said to the girls:
