I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

"Are you looking for a fight?"

Amaki Tomo in front of him glared at Kamigo Yoshihiko in annoyance.

Just because he was joking, many people looked over.

Chapter 147 The End is also the Beginning (2/4)

As for the second button that boys have to button at graduation ceremonies, Tomoya Aki has no interest in that custom at all.

But a lot of people are really cold about this thing.

"If someone comes up to me and asks me for buttons, you'll die!"

Because of Yoshihiko Uego, Tomoya Aki's buttons may not be kept.

What second button? How childish! No one wants it!

"Hey, don't be like that, I'll protect your buttons! General!"

"Shut up!"

Tomoya Aki glared at Yoshihiko Kamigo again.

Let’s leave this topic alone.

After being warned by Tomoya Aki, Yoshihiko Uego shut up obediently.

A group of people walked into the gymnasium, preparing for the graduation ceremony at ten o'clock.

The third-year seniors arrived a little later because they were the protagonists of the graduation ceremony.

"Ren Ye, what are you going to say in your prepared speech?"

Yoshihiko Kamigo, who was sitting next to Tomoya Aki, couldn't help asking.

What will Tomoya Aki, the student representative, say today to his seniors who are about to graduate and those who are going to be promoted to the third year?

Yoshihiko Kamigo was very curious about this.

The gymnasium gradually filled up, and the graduation ceremony of Toyosaki Academy was about to begin.

At this time when graduation is approaching, more people are still paying attention to the third-year team, especially Kasumigaoka Utaha among them.

The most popular girl from Toyonosaki Academy will leave this school.

"bless."

Aki Tomoya turned around and replied.

What else could he say except blessing?

After being given a cold look by his friend, Yoshihiko Kamigo had a disappointed expression on his face.

The graduation ceremony started on time at ten o'clock, and the principal's long speech didn't sound so boring this time.

The moment has finally arrived, the end of the graduation season, when the third years bid farewell to the campus and step into a new world.

The third-year students’ relatives and friends sat at the back of the gymnasium, witnessing with everyone the last moment of their three years of high school.

"Next, the student representative will speak. The student representative is Class 2-B, Tomoya Aki."

After hearing the broadcast in the gymnasium, Aki Tomoya, as a representative of the current students, will send his blessings to his graduating seniors.

Standing on the solemn stage, Tomoya Aki held the manuscript in his hand and looked towards the third years.

"After the harsh winter, spring comes with new buds sprouting. To all the seniors who will graduate from Toyosaki Academy, congratulations on your graduation!"

Everyone's attention was focused on Tomoya Aki on the stage.

Three years have passed in a flash, and the end also means the beginning.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up at him and thought to herself.

"The years we spent with our predecessors will become unforgettable memories for us..."

remember……

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed softly, the memories of high school were indeed unforgettable, some were beautiful, some were painful.

Just like when the students in the class were talking about the boy’s second button, at the time of graduation, that boy’s button did not belong to her.

Looking back now, the first year was dull, the second year was wonderful, and the third year was regrettable.

But it is not an end, but a new beginning.

Gazing at the boy on the stage, when he was giving his speech, the resentment in Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart dissipated along with such a normal blessing.

As time goes by, some things will eventually become memories, leaving only regrets in your heart, or you will feel unwilling to be a loser, and be implicated along with the people around you.

"I'm already very lucky."

Kasumigaoka Utaha murmured in her heart.

Apart from what happened last year, being able to work with Eri Kashiwagi, having the full support of the editor, and having his new work sell well, it can almost be said that he is on the verge of rapid success in the industry.

I lost some things in these three years, but I also gained a lot.

"Graduate representative, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Class 3-C."

Before we knew it, Tomoya Aki's speech as a representative of the students had ended and he had slowly walked down from the stage.

Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up from the third-grade formation and walked towards the stage.

Aki Tomoya, who had just come down from the stage, came towards them, and Kasumigaoka Utaha walked forward with dignity.

The two passed each other and just nodded to each other.

This is where they ended their three years of high school and where they started anew. This is what Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to convey to them.

……

The graduation ceremony was over in a flash, and the third-year graduates who received their diplomas from the principal gathered in the courtyard, surrounded by the blessings and reluctance of their juniors.

Starting from late March, cherry blossoms gradually bloom across Japan.

Although it is still early for the flowers to fully bloom, something would be missing without the cherry blossoms during graduation season.

Kasumigaoka Utaha strolled through the campus courtyard, looking at the cherry tree that had not yet fully blossomed, and said regretfully: "It would have been nice if it had blossomed earlier this year."

How beautiful it would be to graduate when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

"Kasumigaoka Shiu!"

A delicate voice sounded behind Kasumigaoka Utaha, and Kasumigaoka Utaha subconsciously responded and looked at the object.

"watch out!"

"what?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha subconsciously caught the thing thrown by the other party with both hands without seeing clearly what it was.

Under Kasumigaoka Utaha's suspicious gaze, Eriri pretended to be deep and replied: "The buttons of Tomoya's uniform!"

"Eh?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to be frightened and quickly opened her hands, only to find that it was just a strawberry-flavored candy.

After seeing the candy in her hand clearly, Kasumigaoka Utaha secretly hated herself for not noticing that the feel was wrong earlier. How could something wrapped in wrapping paper be a button!

"Hey, if you get Tomoya's button, I'll give it to you?"

Eriri smiled cunningly, she didn't expect that she could actually scare Kasumigaoka Utaha.

At this graduation ceremony, she was not supposed to ask about the second button of her uniform, as that button belonged exclusively to the girls graduating today.

And even if she could get it, she would never be kind enough to give it to others.

"You really are..." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Eriri with gritted teeth.

And just when she was about to explode, Eriri still smiled and said, "Congratulations on your graduation."

Hearing her words "Congratulations on your graduation", the resentment in Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart disappeared, and at this time she had to reply: "Thank you!"

Along the way, many people congratulated her, but she was still most moved by Eriri's blessing.

The end is also the beginning, Kasumigaoka Utaha believes this sentence.

At least with Eriri in front of them, after she graduates, the two of them will still remain partners because of their work.

"Aren't you going to ask for the buttons?"

Suddenly Eriri asked again.

In this graduation ceremony, if I don’t ask for the button of the boy I like, wouldn’t it feel like something is missing?

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha now doesn't know what expression to use.

She looked at Eriri with some annoyance and said, "I don't need it!"

"But many third-year students ran over to ask Ren for buttons as a joke. Maybe he will really give them away. Instead of letting others get them for free, why don't you go and ask for them? How about I take them over? I'll owe you a favor!"

"No need!"

Chapter 148 Do you want to invest in stocks? (3/4)

In the end, Tomoya Aki's second button was not lost.

Some graduated senior students came to him and joked with him, but he was able to resolve the issue.

According to legend, the second button represents a boy's heart, that is, his sincerity, and Aki Tomoya decided to protect his heart well.

After the graduation ceremony, it is the two-week spring break.

After school starts, you are no longer a sophomore, but a junior!

Tomoya Aki reminded himself this in his heart.

"Second week of spring break, it feels like a break..."

After putting down a set of real math questions, Aki Tomoya looked up at the table he had made on the wall.

It's already April 1st, and time seems to be passing faster and faster.

There was another mock exam two months later. I said I wanted to take a break, but in the end I still buried myself in books.

Sunday morning passed quietly. In order to relax his mind, Aki Tomoya did not force himself to do the exercises in the afternoon.

Lying in front of the window, facing the gentle breeze, his mind gradually became clearer. A figure was walking on the clean and quiet street, and that person made Aki Tomoya's eyes gradually widen.

"Michiru..."

Aki Tomoya looked at the figure in a daze.

If he wasn't dazzled, that person should be his cousin Michiru Hyodo.

Michiru Hyodo, who was on the road, probably spotted Aki Tomoya, so she waved her hand and shouted, "Alan!"

Akitomo slowly retreated into the room. About two minutes later, there was one more person in the living room downstairs.

"Big star, come to my place when you have time."

"We're going to rehearse this afternoon. Isn't that awesome?"

I don't refute the word "big star" at all.

Michiru Hyodou put her hands on her hips proudly.

Before the rehearsal, they couldn't find a place, so they came here. Amani Tomoya is almost used to her way of thinking.

"After all, they are still underground idols..."

“It’s an underground band, and my band already has fans!”

It’s really a cause for celebration that we even have fans.

Although they did not officially debut by signing with any agency, Michiru Hyodo and her friends attracted a group of otaku fans in Akihabara with the help of different people.

Compared to other underground bands, Michiru Hyodo and her friends are considered lucky.

“It’s great not to have to work everywhere.”

Being in an underground band or something like that is very hard. If you don't have any announcements, you don't have any money, and if you don't have any money, you have to work. Pursuing your dreams is so tough.

But at least Michiru Hyodo and the others have a mentor.
