Their farewells seemed ordinary, just like a father sending his daughter off for a spiritual trip, as if her daughter would soon be back home again.
"I am leaving."
"OK."
The girl, who was dragging her suitcase and carrying a violin case, turned her head and waved gently. Her father, who got up early in the morning and put on a formal suit, had a serious look on his face, crossed his arms on his chest, and nodded to her.
Oda City has never seen her mother. In her memory, the only person who accompanied her growing up was her father. There is no trace of her mother’s existence in the family. In her memory, it seems that every day
She heard a gentle female voice, but she really couldn't remember the woman's appearance. When she was a child, she asked her father about her mother, and the response she received was a cold "She will not come back again." Part 1
The first time I heard about my mother was probably two years ago. My father got very drunk at a company party. He was carried home by a junior in the company and fell asleep directly on the sofa. Oda City walked out of his father's room from his father's room.
When she took out a blanket and wanted to cover him, she clearly heard the words "Ah Liang, why are you leaving?". Also taking advantage of this break with her father, she rummaged around in her father's room secretly, and finally found her father's room.
I found an old photo in the corner of the drawer, which was a photo of a young man and a young woman. The photo was obviously torn and then glued back together, but it was still possible to identify the young man as his father.
.
Oda took out her wallet from her hoodie pocket and opened it. It was the photo she had stolen. The young woman, no, she should be called mother here. Mother, wearing a pink kimono, leaned against her father's hand affectionately.
On the other hand, my father maintained his usual unsmiling style, but the eyes he looked at his mother were full of tenderness.
"Mom, Dad, I'm ready to go." She looked at the photo again, then put away her wallet, dragged the box and boarded the Shinkansen from Aichi Prefecture to Tokyo.
At this time, his father had already returned to his room. He found a photo album from a locked cabinet in a small corner and opened it. It was full of photos of his mother when he was young: "Ah Liang, Ah Cheng has grown up.
." Suddenly a gust of wind blew up outside the house and blew away some of the clouds in the sky. The sun shone into the window through the gaps, leaving countless small, warm light spots on the ground.
...
I staggered up the stairs of Tokyo Station carrying my suitcase, and what I saw in front of me in Oda City was the bustling streets and row upon row of buildings. Pedestrians coming and going were in a hurry and would not give a moment to this girl who would live in Tokyo in the future.
Stop. Oda City stopped a taxi casually, as if to keep up with the fast pace of Tokyo. She urged the driver to "hurry up" while looking forward to her future idol life.
"Hey!" Oda City picked up her suitcase from the trunk of the bus, and what was in front of her was a brand new dormitory building. (It may be that SONY sold a building and built a new one.) In the staff's
After being guided to put the suitcase in the luggage storage, Oda City was then taken to a conference room. Today seemed to be the first collective gathering of the members.
The conference room is not big, but it is arranged a bit like a rehearsal classroom. Under the stage, the selected members are sitting. The members have already arrived, and all kinds of beautiful girls are sitting reservedly with each other. Occasionally, they can listen to
Hearing the sound of some members who knew each other chatting with each other, Oda City looked around at the seats under the stage, and suddenly saw the girl who held his hand during the final selection, so he walked over quickly, and the person next to her
She sat down at an empty seat. After sorting out her clothes that were a little messy due to the rush, she rubbed her face with both hands, forced out a smile that she was not used to, and patted the girl's shoulder gently.
Nakagen Himaka had left home two days in advance and came to Tokyo to accompany her family around Tokyo. She said goodbye to her parents and younger sister this morning and came to the dormitory alone - the beginning of her idol dream.
place. "What should I do if I can't get along with the members?" "What will my roommate be like then?" For the future, Nakagen Hikari is filled with tension and expectations. "That's right!"
Sitting on the chair, Genhi Maoxiang suddenly thought of the girl who gave her courage in the final selection, "That girl's name seems to be Oda City. It would be great if I could meet her this time."
Just as she was thinking this, Riyaka suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned her head, only to find that the face she had just been thinking about suddenly appeared very close to her. "Eh?!" Riyaka was shocked.
The shout attracted the attention of the surrounding members and seemed to startle Oda City. Oda quickly covered Hika's mouth to prevent her from screaming again, then stood up and bowed slightly to the surrounding people.
Hiyaka was still stunned and didn't react, but her mouth was suddenly covered by a delicate hand. When she reacted, Oda City's face was already in front of her, and her slightly frowned brows showed her
Doubtful and a little embarrassed. "What are you doing? You are so excited to see me." Oda City's voice was different from what she imagined. It was a relatively low and magnetic rustling voice, but Hikari's voice was different.
It also felt like this voice matched well with Oda City himself. The breath from the girl's mouth hit Hiyaka's face a little, and when she recalled her embarrassing behavior just now, Hiyaka's face
He turned red all of a sudden, his body suddenly leaned back, and he waved his hands back and forth in front of him in a panic, as if he wanted to express some point but couldn't. "I...just...I'm sorry...no."
”.
Seeing Hikaka's panic, Oda City laughed out loud. This girl who seems quite reliable may have some natural stupidity. "It's okay, it's okay. I just saw someone I know when I came in, so I thought
Come and say hello." Oda City pinched her chin with her thumb and index finger with her right hand - this is a habit she has kept since she was a child. Although she has been criticized by her father for looking like an uncle, she has never changed, perhaps because of her rebellious psychology.
Well, "Why, I'm so ugly that I scared you?"
"No, no." Nakagen Hikari hurriedly denied. Only then did she have time to take a closer look at the girl who had helped her many times. The clothes Oda City wore today were completely different from the kimono on the day of the final selection. The white kimono
Over the hoodie is a thin black jacket, loose jeans and a pair of navy blue classic Converse canvas shoes. This neutral outfit looks very suitable for her. "I was just thinking about you, and something happened.
When I turned around and saw you, I was shocked."
"Hey, no, why should I tell her that I'm thinking of her?" Nakamoto Hikari's face, which had just calmed down a little, turned red again. But Oda City didn't think so deeply, so he said "
Haha." After that, she stretched out her right hand and said to Hika: "Then let's get to know each other again. I am Oda City and I am 14 years old this year."
