What is the source of dreams?

Akai Muzi frowned.

She can't remember clearly.

Her family was not very well off. Her parents divorced early and she has always lived with her mother.

Mothers in single-parent families work very hard. Akai Muzi still remembers that her biggest wish when she was a child was to make her mother work less and feel more at ease.

Her mother could tell what she was thinking of her.

My mother was also very happy that I could think of her like this.

But my mother often said, "Muzi, you should think more about yourself. Mom is old. In fact, my biggest wish is not for you to restrain yourself and stay by my side all the time, but to see you become happy and have your own happiness."

As for what exactly is your own happiness?

She never thought about it

I have no idea.

It wasn't until she entered high school that she met a guy who came out of an orphanage but was extremely outstanding.

This guy was abandoned by his parents when he was young and grew up in an environment even more difficult than his own.

But he never complained about his life experience or his parents who abandoned him. All he had was the motivation to move forward that he couldn't understand.

This guy is very good at studying and always comes out on top.

This guy is extremely talented and always excels.

This guy is also unique and is always the first to stand up when faced with something unfair.

It should be said that Fujii was an extremely conspicuous and eye-catching person when he was a student.

Of course, in Japanese society, such people are usually not sociable.

This guy has almost no friends because he doesn't care much about the ways of the world.

As a result, I had the opportunity to contact him.

He and he are both members of the brass band club of Futaba High School.

Daily club activities helped the two get to know each other better.

Therefore, I have a bigger question:

"Why, Tree, can you do this?"

After two years of being together, she asked him the day before she confessed her love.

Akai Muzi still remembers how Fujii Itsuki answered at that time.

He lay on the lawn by the embankment, facing the sunset and feeling the breeze.

Just like the refreshing summer breeze, his answer was so clear and straightforward - "Just for myself, for my dreams."

It was because of Fujii's words "for my own dream" that I had the idea to fight for my dream.

I, at the beginning, admired Fujii who could work tirelessly for his dream.

"Akai? Akai?"

Usami Tamaki woke Akai Muzi up from her distraction again, "Have you figured it out?"

Have you figured it out?

Akai Muzi didn't laugh, nor did she answer immediately.

She continued to eat her lunch from her bento box.

When Usami Tamaki was really curious, she answered:

"Fujii."

"Huh?! What did you say, Fujii?"

Akai Muzi looked down at the lunch box she made for herself, "The root of my dream, or rather the cornerstone that forces me to act for myself, comes from Fujii."

This answer made Usami Tamaki and Mizuno Kiyora look at each other in bewilderment.

The two were so shocked by these words that they were completely speechless.

The school dismissal time on Friday at Jubei will be earlier than usual.

Naturally, this is also a time for the wind band students to practice. Today they will officially start the ensemble to lay a solid foundation for the Nakajima Festival in May.

Jiuhuayue came to the music classroom carrying a trumpet box.

The sun is shining brightly, and the sea in the distance is splashing with dazzling golden flowers.

She stood at the door of the classroom and turned to look at the coast of Otaru City not far away.

The girl's hair was blown by the wind.

She wanted to return to Otaru because of the quietness here.

This place indeed holds the best moments of my past.

Jiuhuayue was still thinking about what happened at noon.

Why did I feel empty inside when I heard that the uncle was moving away? Wasn’t I angry with him?

Could it be that in her heart, she actually hoped that he would not leave her side?

She raised her right hand and looked.

Why did I secretly hold him that day?

Jiuhuayue doesn't like indecision.

At this moment, after she understood her inner struggle, she realized that she was still reluctant to give up the uncle's idea.

Yes

Even though I was disappointed with what he said, I still hoped for some additional explanation so that I could find a reason to forgive him.

What I expected more was that I had misunderstood him.

Jiuhuayue couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She suddenly felt like she had become the kind of girlfriend who, when faced with the mistakes made by the person she liked, would still choose to try to improve their relationship.

Is the uncle someone you like?

No, it doesn’t count. It definitely doesn’t count.

He is just my friend, and I just don't want to lose this good friend easily.

I secretly shook his hand that day, just out of friendship.

That's it.

"Chitose-chan! You're here!"

A voice came from behind.

Jiuhuayue turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw that in the corridor, Chitose Yangkui, who had just arrived on this floor, was hugged by Riro Sasahara.

Chitose Yang Kui smiled and joked with her about some things that only girls would say, and also discussed some things about the formal ensemble that would be held today.

"Chitose, I'm so nervous. I feel like I'm going to perform poorly and get scolded by Mr. Fujii. Do you feel that way, Chitose?"

"I'm fine, and isn't Mr. Fujii very gentle?"

"No, no! Everyone privately says that Mr. Fujii is a 'smiling devil' who always says those horrible things with a smile!"

"Teacher Fujii is doing this for our own good."

"Only you, Chitose, can withstand Fujii-sensei's training~ Chitose-chan has become more and more powerful since your last mistake."

The two walked towards Jiuhuayue while discussing.

"Last time, it was because I was in a bad mood those days. As for these few days——"

Yang Kui Chitose smiled, glanced at Jiuhuayue who was standing in the corridor enjoying the sea breeze, and said to Sasahara Lilo:

"My mood should be described as super~~happy!"

Sasahara Riro didn't notice the look from her friend at all, her eyes sparkled, "Could this be the secret to why Chitose-chan doesn't get nervous! Just stay happy!"

"Yes." Yang Kui Qiansui withdrew his gaze and didn't even look at Jiuhuayue.

"Chitose, then I! Then should I——"

"For a Loli, a teddy bear should be enough, right?"

Sasahara Riro was stunned on the spot, and then she clenched her fist fiercely, and in a childish voice, she hit Yang Kui Chitose on the back, and said the catchphrase that only the Yakuza would say with a red face:

"Tie, Tieba! Don't look down on me!"

"Haha~"

Jiuhuayue watched the two of them playing and walking into the music classroom.

She was not interested in their fight.

But the look in Yang Kui Chitose's eyes just now.

That's a provocation, right?

He didn't even look at me, with an attitude of a complete winner.

Without Qiansui saying anything, Jiuhuayue could imagine what Qiansui would say to her from a high position -

[You are just a loser, and you want to be Brother Shu’s student. Do you understand the weight of what you said?]

[What you said is a complete joke!]

[Little Jiuhuayue, there is nothing to be afraid of! ]

[it's so funny!]

calm down

Jiuhuayue forced herself to remain calm.
