Chapter 675 The Unseen Future in the Final Chapter

The huge auditorium of White Emperor Academy.

All the students in the school were seated in a serious atmosphere, and in the direction directly in front of them, a beautiful girl with blond double ponytails walked towards the stage with a microphone.

"Now! The [-]th Baihuang College High School Graduation Ceremony officially begins."

After a few seconds of microphone testing, her slightly hoarse voice today directly rang through the loudspeaker in the entire empty and huge venue.

"By the way, the host will be me, Lilicia Todou, the president of the school newspaper! Oh~ hehehehehe!"

"..."

"..."

clap clap-

After a period of obvious silence, warm applause naturally sounded in the venue, and then slowly boiled up, like thunder that lasted for a long time.

This is probably the first time in history that Fujido Lilicia has received such treatment. After all, before that, everyone was afraid of her who spread rumors all day long and even set up an intelligence network in the school. .

It's just that in this serious and warm atmosphere, the blond girl with double ponytails who had deliberately let out a queen-like three-part smile just now, not only didn't show much joy, but even bit her lower lip lightly.

Then, she lowered her head to hide her expression in the shadow of her forehead hair, and said as if sighing.

"Then, below is the student representative—the president of the student union, Gui Daiju, who will come to the stage to give a speech."

As soon as she finished speaking, an elegant and talented pink-haired girl stood up among the seats of graduates.

Gui Daiju first lowered her head as if taking a deep breath, then immediately straightened her posture, bowed to the surrounding directions one by one, and then walked onto the stage with a dignified and impeccable manner.

She stretched out her slender palm to accept the microphone handed over by Todou Lilicia, and the pink-haired girl stood in the center of the stage, her clear eyes swept across the audience.

"I am Gui Daiju, the president of the student union, and I will give a speech on behalf of all the members of the student union. Although I am also a graduate myself, please let me take the liberty of speaking as a student representative here..."

Her clear and bright voice resounded throughout the venue, the audience was silent, and everyone was listening quietly.

Mu Xiu was also sitting upright in the graduate seat, and the students around him were all members of the student union or classmates, and they were all familiar friends.

However, on this important day today, even Hualing Meixi and the others were concentrating on it without squinting and pursing their lips tightly, showing no signs of indecency.

Because, it's about to end.

Mu Xiu looked around, then retracted his gaze, lowered his head and let out a soft sigh, feeling a strong unreal feeling, like a dream from another world.

——That's right, it's coming to an end... Really, it seems to be messing around.

Really, what kind of school is this? In the past three years, all kinds of ridiculous things have always happened, constantly disrupting everyone's pace.

Therefore, meeting everyone at school like today is also the last for them.

As a student, it was the last day of normal appearance in this school. After today, everything in this school will have nothing to do with them——

Whether it's the classroom that is so lively that it is a headache, the corridor that is full of laughter and laughter, the main entrance of each department room that always has greetings...

It's still the same unserious teachers' offices, the playground where the various sports clubs radiate vitality, and this huge meeting place that gathers all the students in the school.

and also……

The tower overlooking the campus, the tallest landmark building in the nearby city - the bell tower of White Emperor College, where the student union hall gathers the best friends.

In this academy, there are many facts of one kind or another.

Even Mu Xiu always felt that this place could be his best support.

And wanting more and more...not for another year or two, but forever and ever...at this school.

……

……

clap clap-

At this time, warm applause rang out again, and the opposite was the silence in the venue. This was a strange, warm and serious atmosphere, a warm silence.

The applause continued to resound like thunder and waves, and it lasted for a long time, but behind the applause was an unspeakable silence.

Everyone was just applauding eagerly, but he pressed his lips together tightly and didn't make any sound, which resulted in this warm silence.

"Graduation is not a farewell, but the beginning of a new journey... Sorry, I don't have any funny words. But this is me now, with no hypocrisy and sincerity."

At this time, Osmanthus Osmanthus on stage seemed to be coming to an end.

"So... Finally, I sincerely congratulate everyone on graduation! All I want to say is the above, thank you everyone."

The slender pink-haired girl bowed abruptly in front of all the students in the school, then lowered her head desperately as if trying to hide her expression, and walked off the stage so quickly.

The host Todo Lilicia watched her leaving, then sighed, and walked to the stage again.

"The above... the above... is the speech of the student council president, Katsura Daiju, and the next speech is the "sister" of the White King Academy, Miyakoji Mizuho..."

For Fujido Lilicia, who has always been good at speaking, her performance today is really a bit abnormal. Not only did she lose her previous habit of complaining and lively and cute tone, but her words were always slightly stagnant.

It seemed that he couldn't find the right words, and it seemed that he would always be slightly distracted unconsciously.

But more, it seems that the lines that have been memorized in advance have been lost in pieces, and they cannot be connected smoothly.

According to the next procedure, after the president of the student union, there will be a speech by the elder sister, followed by the guest representatives, and the representatives of the current students to send a farewell speech to the graduates who are about to leave their alma mater.

After Todou Lilicia announced that she was entering the next session, a beautiful "girl" with long brown hair also took a deep breath, then calmly stood up from the graduate seat.

After she bowed to everyone first, she walked to the stage calmly.

"Well, I'm Mizuho Miyakoji, a third-year student. This time, I'm not speaking as an older sister, but as a student who graduated this year..."

She relieved her nervousness, and began to speak in a graceful manner, and a soft and clear voice came out of the microphone.

But when everyone was concentrating, Mu Xiu turned his head and looked in a certain direction.Because Gui Daiju didn't go back to the empty seat next to him and sat down, but walked out of the venue.

The moment she went out, Mu Xiu couldn't clearly see the expression hidden under the shadow of her bangs.

But it doesn't mean that he can't imagine it - that may have a sad look.

So just for a moment, Mu Xiu felt that his thoughts were in chaos, and his heart suddenly felt strangely empty.

So he almost subconsciously wanted to stand up and chase after him.But at this moment, a hand gently touched his right shoulder.

"Wait, let's go and see, Xiao Chi isn't such a sentimental character, maybe what she's really worried about is another thing."

Hualing Meixi, the silver-haired girl leaned over her head expressionlessly and said in a low voice, "And it will be your turn soon, student Mu Xiu, isn't it embarrassing for you to run out at this time?"

Then, without waiting for Mu Xiu's answer, she got up and squeezed past him, walked out along the somewhat narrow aisle, and walked out of the venue quickly.

Izumi Segawa and Risa Chaofeng followed closely behind, and they both patted someone on the shoulder as they passed by without saying anything.

"..."

"..."

Mu Xiu just hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly as if he understood something.

Minutes and seconds passed, and Mizuho Miyakoji's round ended soon, followed by representatives of unknown guests, followed by representatives of current students——

Finally, the graduation ceremony will be concluded with the speeches of the current students and the corresponding speeches of the graduates.

A student at school stood up from among the second-year students a little nervously, and walked onto the stage with a stiff back, as if he was not used to such a high-profile occasion.

"That... third grade seniors, congratulations on your graduation..."

He was obviously quite nervous, and he almost didn't take the microphone from Todou Lilicia, so he started talking on his own, but after slowly speaking, he naturally became fluent.

It's just that even so, his turn was still over very quickly——

"In short, in short! Today, I sincerely congratulate you all on your graduation! The above is my speech, thank you all."

The boy finished the last line in one breath, and then ran off the stage without even giving the concluding salute.And this kind of development also brought out a burst of good-natured and joyful laughter.

This also relieved the heavy atmosphere in the venue to some extent.

Fujido Lilicia also smiled slightly, her eyes were already rosy, but she did not hide it, and as the host, she still announced the progress of the next content with dignity——

"Then, I'll leave the final graduation speech to you, Mu Xiu."

"..."

"..."

There was a long silence.

Under the sincere eyes of all the students, Mu Xiu seemed to come to his senses, and then stood up.

Although it was obvious that he was distracted just now, he didn't feel embarrassed in the slightest. Instead, he walked onto the stage more naturally than anyone else before, and after saluting skillfully and properly, he came to the microphone.

Mu Xiu glanced at the audience, looking at the dark crowd, identifying the faces of every familiar or unfamiliar person.

"Looking back, I realize that these three years are like the blink of an eye to me."

He didn't come up with any manuscripts from the beginning, and started his speech directly. "I've never really liked such serious occasions, and it's the same today. I think you are the same, you don't like today..."

Even though I have experienced it, I still hate this feeling.

Because no matter how you think about it, it just makes you more powerless, like the feeling of the end of the world, and everything becomes annoying.

It's annoying, I want time to stop here, and I wholeheartedly hope that the days in this academy can continue forever.

The choice has always been in his hands.

Obviously, you just need to choose the ending you like, as long as you like it, because you can do whatever you want.

But it was also because of this that Mu Xiu was troubled.It is not because of the fear of failure that I gave up the right to choose from the beginning.

Instead, I know that despite the helplessness, there are still many unsatisfactory things.This daily world is not completely chosen by oneself, but is determined by the surroundings.

At least for Mu Xiu, this White Emperor Academy is not a place where you can "let yourself do whatever you want."He doesn't want to bind this world with his own rules and will, and they will choose where they will go in the future.

So, looking at it now, after all, there are still some familiar people missing——

Sanqianyuan Nagi and the indebted housekeeper have dropped out of school, and it is said that they went to a public high school, because the former smashed Wang Yu with a nutcracker for the latter, and since then lost the property inheritance rights of the Sanqianyuan family.

Miss Maria and the debtor housekeeper moved out of the Sanqianyuan mansion together, but Mr. Claus, the head housekeeper, has retired because of his old age. Senin Nagi.

Now, it is said that they are relying on the income from renting out the house to make ends meet, but I heard that Sanzenin Nagi also fired Ayazaki Sa recently, saying that he wanted to give him back his freedom.

I don't know where the fate of the two will go in the future.

What's more, there is a permanent shortage of one member of the board of directors of Baihuang Academy, because Sanzenin Nagi gave up the entire Sanzenin family for Ayazaki Sa, so Ayazaki Sa also made up his mind to protect his eldest lady forever.

Between Tianwangzhou Athena and Sanzenin Nagi, after all, he chose now instead of the beautiful but fragmented dream ten years ago.

So Tianwangzhou Athena chose to leave and decided never to come back.

There is also the origin of bad campus legends, Hanasegawa Kotaka, to be precise, even in the entire White Emperor Academy, there are only a few inexplicable clubs comparable to the Neighbor Club, and it is no longer what it used to be.

Probably because the intricate emotional relationship finally broke out, although in order not to destroy the relationship with the neighbors, they have been pretending to be confused to get through.

But just before Christmas, Kotaka broke up with Kusu Yukimura, and was issued a card for confessing to Shikuma Riko, and was issued a card after being confessed by Mikazuki Yekong... In the end, he thought that he would hinder the friendship between the neighbors and decided to quit the company.

And not only these, but also many people or things are the same.

If I intervene according to my own wishes, will it change, will the ending be different?

"..."

"..."

Mu Xiu lowered his eyes slightly and didn't speak. He was just thinking about how much and what had changed in the past three years.

The time spent in this school, every person or event I met, every teaching building, school building, gymnasium, every teacher or classmate in my impression, as well as the Girl's Day festival, marathon meeting, etc. grand event...

—Whether it has passed or still exists.

At this moment, they all turned into various images, which kept flowing before his eyes one after another, constantly entangled, disturbed his thinking, and stirred up his emotions.

After a long time, he laughed—seriously, earnestly, and made an announcement of closing with great effort.

"Next is your story. As the final speech of the graduates, I just want to say... welcome to Baihuang Academy."

……

……

Outside the auditorium.

On the road of the campus, four girls were walking aimlessly, with evergreen trees and green lawns on both sides, and a tram not far away. On the opposite side of the lush forest, you can see the clock tower standing there as always.

"In the end, Nagi and Haya Yatai both left, and Qianying almost dropped out of school because of arrears of tuition fees. It feels like a lot of things have happened this year."

Seemingly unable to bear the cold air outside, Izumi Segawa muttered while breathing on his hands.

"I also hate this current graduation ceremony. I always feel that I can't even breathe in the venue... I can't even imagine what will happen in the future. I will abandon everything I am familiar with and welcome a strange future..."

Chaofeng Risa crossed her arms thoughtfully, walked on the school road, and said, "I heard that Nagi is going to a public high school? If there is no accident, you are graduating today, right?"

"Yes, what will happen in the future is really unpredictable... So, the most important thing is to live in the present!"

Hualing Meixi also sighed, she looked at the back of the girl in front of her with some worry, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted her teeth and said.

"Whether it gets better or worse in the future, it won't change no matter what... the only thing, I hope that when I look back on every bit of this school in the future, it must be shining like a gem mediocre memory."

"It's not that if you move forward, you will be happier in the future than today. There is no such guarantee. Because for me, there has never been such a thing before."

"So no matter what, I can't imagine a happier future than the time spent in this academy... But, this is... this... it's really, very happy..."

"Those happy times spent here will not change no matter what, and our pride is our life in this academy."

Having said a lot of words in a very rare breath, Hualing Mixi panted slightly, and then looked at the figure of Osmanthus daisy in front of her with hope.

Regardless of the gazes of the other two, she said expectantly: "So, Xiao Chi...don't leave any regrets for yourself on this day, okay?"

"..."

"..."

Osmanthus Daisy stopped in her tracks and did not speak.

After a while, maybe a whole century, she turned around slowly, and then looked in the direction of the venue——

"Sorry, I understand... Then I still have some things to do, and I will leave the rest to you."

"Eh? Hey, hey!"

"What are you going to do!"

Both Izumi Segawa and Risa Chaofeng couldn't react at once.

"It's not something important." The pink-haired girl turned her head, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and her bright eyes were filled with an awareness that she had never had before.

"I'm going to... confess to the person I like."

Then, without further hesitation, she turned around and ran towards the auditorium.

……

……

Running on the campus in the middle of winter, it was obvious that her physical fitness surpassed that of human beings, but the pink-haired girl couldn't help but began to pant, and felt like she was running to the limit.

It seems that the body is getting heavier and heavier, and every step forward requires unimaginable strength——

Do you regret that you did such a stupid thing, or should you praise yourself for doing a good job?
Many things will leave us in our day-to-day life. No matter what kind of life we ​​live in, we will inevitably feel sad at night.No matter how difficult it is, there will always be a morning when we face it with a smile.

But, even so, I still know a little bit.

That's it.

That is……

He quickly ran across the empty and silent campus, and returned to the vicinity of the auditorium.

Gui Daiju vaguely heard the familiar voice coming from the venue, which was coming from several loudspeakers distributed around through the microphone——

"It is absolutely deceptive to say that going forward bravely is the right thing to do."

"It's just because we have no other way but to move forward, so we can only admit it in ignorance."

Is this the last speech?
She panted slightly, then slowed down her pace, and walked slowly to the entrance of the auditorium, looking from the door to the top of the stage in the distance.

Then I just heard the last paragraph——

"Welcome to White Emperor Academy."

"Although some messy things happen here occasionally, they may bring laughter or tears. But no matter what, please keep in mind. No matter what kind of things you encounter, you should enjoy every day here .”
