Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

The five children took their seats, just ordered some side dishes and a few bottles of drinks, and then started chatting without a word.

“The fried noodles here are still delicious(????)?!”

Tasting the fried noodles with garlic moss again, Xu Yuhuai's expression was very excited: "This is the taste. Although the last time I tasted it was at the end of last year, tasting it again after half a year is really touching!"

"...eat slowly for me."

Seeing Xu Yuhuai swallowing the wolf soul, sucking in the carbon water storm and still stamping his feet, Mochizuki couldn't help but complain:

"What kind of little pig are you? This plate is almost at the bottom so quickly. Are you thinking of starving your brother after seeing my treat?"

"Okay, don't say anything boring."

Kurihara Saki interrupted Mochizuki's rather disappointing words, and then handed Calpis to Xu Yuhuai in front of him with a smile:

"Sister Xu, don't pay attention to him - if there's not enough food, sister will order some for you. When Ali doesn't have money to pay the bill, I will leave him here to wash the dishes."

"? You asked me to treat you, but you still want me to wash the dishes here? Do you have to wipe them clean after eating them?"

Hearing the wheelchair girl sitting next to him torture himself like this, Mochizuki's pupils trembled - this was not just a bandit, he was simply worse than a bandit.

Of course, seeing that the three of them seemed to be in quite a predicament, the little teacher's voice became clear at this moment:

"Okay, okay, if it doesn't work, just let me invite you - they are all friends. Next time, just ask someone else, such as Tsukawa-san."

"........ah?"

When Kasumi Takegami talked about "next time", Yu Tsugawa, who had no money in his pocket, was shocked.The memory of being blown away with gold coins by this dog’s eyes a year ago is still vivid in my mind, and an inexplicable strange feeling also arises at this moment——

Why do you feel like you are a good partner?

When he thought of this, Teacher Dayou really found himself in a tiger's den.In the future, not only will he have to face the boy's terrifying Shura field and explosive gold coins, but he will also have to protect his good brother from being killed by the other party in this extremely abstract interpersonal relationship. It is really a lot of pressure -

Of course, Mochizuki didn't seem to realize what Yu Tsugawa, who was worried about him, was thinking about at the moment.

He just continued chatting happily with Teacher Dayou and a few girls, completely unaware of the vague undercurrent among the girls... Should I say he is wise or stupid? Well, Mochizuki seems to be able to successfully stabilize the situation when the situation is about to get out of control. He has the charm of a nine-ship jump master. Although the chatter seems to be related to career, several girls heard the past When I go through it, I can't help but feel nostalgic and a little shy...

Why is this... Could it be that Ali has made new progress with these girls without me knowing... Damn it, this weird middle school student doesn't know how to You really just pretend to be confused, but now you are actually fishing in sheep's clothing, right?

At this moment, Tsugawa Yu already felt that he couldn't see clearly Mochizuki's interpersonal relationships.

But... forget it.

Thinking that there was no point in thinking about it like this, he felt that his eldest son should be able to handle it on his own. In the end, Yu Tsugawa just sighed and finally decided to let it go. He just watched silently as he chatted with a few girls and occasionally picked up the conversation. , casually talking about silly things——

.....To be honest, this feeling is actually quite good.

Although he always felt that this state seemed a bit abstract, looking at them smiling happily, Tsukawa Yuu didn't say anything at all, and just enjoyed the quiet and gentle daily life in peace, even though it was extremely outrageous.

........Such a beautiful and peaceful day, I don’t know how long it will last~

After all, if you really want to think about it... there are only a few months left before everyone leaves Momoyama Garden and embarks on a new journey.

What will happen to everyone after graduating from high school...Can we still continue to have dinner together?

If he thought this way, Yu Tsugawa suddenly felt that the significance of this dinner was very profound.

"Speaking of which, it seems that we are all about to graduate..."

After gently cracking his fingers and breaking away from his previous contemplation, Mochizuki's voice had a hint of thoughtfulness:

"I feel like our group is really interesting... Even though there is a kid from a junior high school among us, in the blink of an eye, she has come to the end of a stage with us."

"Yes." Kurihara Saki gently held his little head, and his expression changed a little, "It will be time to enter high school soon... By then, it will be time for us to part ways. Bar."

"Yes, yes! Hahaha??...Suddenly I feel like I can't laugh anymore."

"........"

Seeing that the friends who had gathered together to express their happy emotions suddenly fell into deep thought, and their expressions became complicated at this moment, Mochizuki, who had been sitting next to everyone, suddenly felt that he had nothing to say.

Graduation......

Graduation is the story of millions of summers, millions of individuals, millions of different seasons, the same thing is just farewell.

After coming to this world for 17 years, Mochizuki, who stayed in this small town quietly watching the clouds rise and fall, laughed, cried, and met important people in this land, suddenly felt a hint of loneliness. .

After a while, it seemed like I had a faint feeling.

Looking at the friends who had grown up with him in front of him, the young man couldn't help but ask:

"Okay, no need to say too sentimental things, it feels quite strange——"

"Enrollment to higher school is coming soon. I haven't asked you yet. Do you have any ideas for the future?"

"Ahem...I want to go to high school in Tokyo (?>ω<>

"...To be honest, I have seriously thought about my future." Yu Tsukawa patted his head, "But my grades are average, and I don't know if I can get into a good university - but Because I have longed for Tokyo since I was a child, so if I have the chance, I will work hard to get into a university in Tokyo."

"It seems that everyone wants to go to Tokyo, and suddenly I don't feel so lonely anymore." The little president of Dog Eyes smiled, "To be honest, I want to go to Keio University in the future, because my parents are here. As a graduate, I also want to see what kind of place the school where my parents fell in love was like."

"That's great..." Hearing Teacher Xiaocheng's words, Mochizuki smiled softly, "I prefer to take the Waseda exam, not because of any obsession, because my current deviation value The best option is to study early. If I can get into it, I also want to improve myself even more there."

"...In the future, I also want to pass the Waseda exam." Kurihara Saki's eyes were a little dodgey, and his voice seemed to have a special flavor, "Of course, I may not be able to pass the exam, I hope everything It goes well, after all, I quite like Waseda..."

"I see."

After listening to everyone express their expectations for the future at this moment, Tsugawa Yuu snapped his fingers and said in a hearty voice:

"It seems that everyone wants to go to Tokyo... Really, since we all want to go to Tokyo, don't show such sentimentality. After all, although the destinations are different, at least we are in the same city, right? Well?"

"...that's what I said."

Seeing that his good brother had a cheerful expression and understood that he just wanted to liven up the atmosphere, Mochizuki couldn't help but shook his head:

"But...since we all choose to set off for Tokyo, the town below us will slowly disappear from our lives."

"Hai, after all, we have reached our age and will soon transform from teenagers to adults~"

Putting his arms around Mochizuki's shoulders, Yu Tsugawa responded cheerfully:

"Anyway, growing up is an important proposition in life. Packing up your bags and leaving your hometown is also a future that we in this group must face - so don't take it too seriously. It's normal to wave goodbye to the past. Keep doing it. It’s something you think is right, aren’t we still with you?”

"...Yes." Kasumi Takegami said, looking at Mochizuki Ri in front of her, her amber eyes sparkling, "Don't worry, although youth and Toyama Prefecture will be slow. Slowly fade out of sight, at least we haven't gone too far, right?"

"No, that's right!" Xu Yuhuai also snapped his fingers in a decent manner, but his eyes became wet unconsciously, "Don't worry about so many Brother Wangyue! Although it was just because I met everyone in this ordinary small town. , but if this is how I grow up, I will continue to move forward by following everyone’s footsteps...definitely, definitely will..."

".......thank you all."

Seeing that his only friends were still standing there saying goodbye to him at the end of the concert, which symbolized the end of youth, Mochizuki suddenly felt a little sore in his nose.

Raising his head and looking at the brightly lit town, the young man always felt that 17 years seemed like a dream.

Wind, flowers, snow, moon, Dongyang summer flowers, the beauty that passes through life, I have noticed it, and it is time to leave it behind.

so.......

"Being your friend is the greatest luck I have come into this world."

"Tsk, what are you saying...why does it sound weird?"

"Is it weird? I don't know..."

The young man who had passed away in loneliness in the past and no longer dared to desire to be loved had a sense of relief in his voice:

“I just suddenly felt like it was great to be here.”

"What is this nonsense."

Jinchuan Yu shook his head:

"It sounds like you have left before. Didn't we grow up together?"

"...It's not anything special."

The poor boy who died before dawn is dead.

Although I couldn't imagine it in the past... Mochizuki Ri also left his own color in this world.

The same goes for the partners who accompany him... Tsugawa Yuu will definitely transform into an outstanding athlete, Xu Yuhuai will definitely grow into a much-anticipated actress, Takegami Kasumi will definitely evolve into a deeply rooted manga artist, Kurihara Saki will definitely stand in glory and become a true heretic singer.

Maybe they will go their separate ways in the future for various reasons.

But... Mochizuki always believes:

Their legend will come.

Understanding that everything is like the past, a new life is still at his feet, and the young man who has not been alone since a very early age suddenly seemed to be relieved and couldn't help but laugh.

After midnight snack time, because there were no other arrangements for the night, everyone else in Momoyama Garden also left early——

The huge school fell into silence, as if for an adventure, Mochizuki and the five returned to the school they were about to wave goodbye to under the shadow of the stars and clouds.

Running wildly in the empty corridor, letting Kurihara Saki experience the rotating wheelchair in the classroom, using an alcohol lamp to make filtered coffee in the chemistry room, playing human body bowling outside the classroom, and drawing various strange patterns in the playground in an attempt to attract UFOs Attention... Taking advantage of the moonlight, several children smiled extremely brightly, with a sense of madness and romance calling for love at the end of the world.

On the Internet, netizens outside the Slothfish community who were passing by also had quite a discussion about the concert that had come to an end:

(I have to say that the performances of Mochizuki Ri and Kurihara Saki, the two actors in Sloth Fish, are really amazing! I didn’t have any expectations for the online singer’s live performance, but I didn’t expect that this time I was really surprised. It’s an eye-opener – looking forward to a better future for them!)

(Me too! By the way, I feel that the friends of Sloth Fish are also very awesome - especially the boy who sits in the back row with a light sign and shouts loudly, always trying to heat up the atmosphere. The audience of the whole concert I I have an impression of him, after all, he is the loudest among male fans...)

(Haha, it’s true - it’s great to have such friends. After all, most people don’t have friends who can always stand behind them...)

(Speaking of which, it felt like there were a lot of people from the older generation at this concert - I thought Slothfish fans might be a little younger, but I didn't expect that at first glance, there seemed to be some elders there, especially the third one) The old gentleman wearing glasses in the row looks to be in his 80s or [-]s. I didn’t expect that he would listen to it with such enthusiasm and even give a thumbs up from time to time!)

(Haha, this is the tolerance of Slothfish fans... To be honest, I heard there was a concert in our town so I just joined in the fun. I didn't expect this musician group to be so powerful. I will follow him in the future - although I don’t know why his core fans are quite abstract...)

Discussions about the Sloth Fish concert on the Internet began to show strong signs of breaking the circle.

Thanks to word-of-mouth referrals from fans and audiences, this musician group, whose influence is almost limited to the small Internet circles, has become known to more and more people, and mental illness has gradually spread from person to person. signs——

After tonight, the sloth fish's popularity and recognition have also increased.

However... Mochizuki himself didn't pay attention to this.

After the school carnival, the boy waved goodbye to his friends, and then pushed Kurihara Saki's wheelchair and walked under the stars.

The cell phone beeps.

The boy took out his phone and found that there were many unread messages on his line.

<Tomosuke Takegami: Xiaori, the performance tonight was really great!I didn’t expect that you, a young jumper with a mental illness, could sing so well. You really didn’t leave any way for others to survive... However, although the effect of your show was indeed very good, you didn’t give any music after the concert. Our boy jump is advertising "Chainsaw Man". Uncle, I'm really going to be angry - next time you go to the Budokan, you must remember to promote "Chainsaw Man" or your new comic. I'm waiting for you. Become a cartoon master! 〉

(Takegami Natsue: I never thought that I would see the rising star of our boy jump perform on stage in my lifetime... Teacher Mochizuki is really a god, and you should work hard in the future. Our Xiao Cheng trusts her very much. Yours, I hope you two can draw better comics together. With you here, I feel a lot more relieved and less nervous...)

(Miki Kazuma: You sing really well. Typhoon is great. Please continue to work hard in the future. This is all I can say as a middle-aged man... By the way, since you can sing so well. , if "Zero Starting Life in Another World" is animated in the future, shouldn't you, the author, also lend your voice? It seems that I really made the right investment in you. I hope you will take me and Zhiji Bunko to become a light novel together. Industry legend, happy to cooperate.)

(Shinoda Noboru: Mochizuki-kun, I really miss you after not seeing you for so many days - I am still filming my favorite youth genre film. I will continue to look for you next time there is a male lead. Haha, you must be sunny and cheerful. So excited!)

(Employee of Uncle Yoshino Musical Instruments Store: I haven’t seen you, Mochizuki-kun, for a long time since the advertisement for the musical instrument store... A whole year has passed, and you seem to have become more handsome and more confident—— This is a good thing, and I hope you can always be happy. How about the concert equipment, are you satisfied? If you like it, our Uncle Yoshino Musical Instruments Store will also provide you with musical instruments and equipment at the Budokan or even the Tokyo Dome in the future. Equipment, please continue to work hard in the future.)

(Risa Sakuraba: Haha, you kid is really shining brightly today... As a homeroom teacher who has watched you grow up, seeing the tacit cooperation between you and Kurihara-san, it really feels like a child has grown up - it's really Yes, I'm obviously still single, so I don't think so. Well, in the future you will also graduate and move to a new stage of life. I hope you can calm down and move to a higher stage step by step. Although the teacher cannot continue I will accompany you, but I will always stay in Toyama County and watch you quietly. Haha, I suddenly feel a sense of accomplishment. I will definitely publicize your glorious deeds when I meet the next class of students, so that I can feel the same. I feel like an old teacher of the people~)

(Takano Koichi: I believe you will become a real Ultraman, so you must work hard... I have no grandchildren, and my relatives have left. I have devoted my whole life to Ultraman. , so it’s really my honor to watch you grow up slowly, from childishness to maturity... You must become someone you can be proud of.)

"........."

Too much is too much.

The editors of Shōnen Jump, the president of the light novel library, the photographers of youth genre films, the employees of Yoshino Musical Instruments Store, the teachers who watched me grow up, the grandfather who cared for me from the Ultraman crew... .. Seeing all the elders he knew well cheering for him at this moment, the young man suddenly couldn't help laughing and laughed softly.

In fact, he has been a little worried recently, because it always makes people feel lonely when they are about to say goodbye to a small town - but looking at all the people who love him, the boy finally plans to accumulate those brief encounters and farewells bit by bit. , cherish them together.

When he met a rickety boy with short curly hair while passing by, Mochizuki didn't look back. He just pushed Kurihara Saki's wheelchair and passed him. The two of them were walking in opposite directions, but neither of them looked back.

(Night is coming, something powerful like a loving mother is injected into your heart, and silence is like a furry warm hand, gently stroking, erasing everything that should be forgotten in your heart: the accumulation of things during the day. Fine dust that corrodes the human heart.)

--"childhood"

.

The high school chapter theoretically ends with the last chapter left.

It's really stuck. I feel like I want to hit a wall every time I get to the ending... I'm not in a good state either. I almost want to smash my head into pieces when I write this chapter. Will adjust it as soon as possible.

In fact, Mochizuki Ri's character description has always been very sparse. Before the concert chapter, I only briefly mentioned his loneliness in Jinchuan Yuhua, but now it is filled in - although I have always felt that the novel is copying the psychology of the male protagonist. Being confused about changes and descriptions is probably not a good option, but I couldn’t help it because I was suffering from literary youth, and the atmosphere was so intense that I couldn’t write about it, so I tried my best to write about it.It can be regarded as a kind of operation to drag the male protagonist of the conventional Wenzhaogong novels from the god status. Although it feels like it is hypocritical, the image of Ali as a young male protagonist is also slightly fuller. Overall, the advantages should outweigh the disadvantages.

All in all, I sincerely thank you all for your support????

Volume [-] Finale: The Sloth Fish’s New Life

Wake up in the painting hall in the morning and come to report the snowfall.

The boy was awakened by the shocking cold. Nearly half a year had passed since the concert in the blink of an eye. The hot summer was also covered by white snow, and there was no trace of warmth.
