Immortal Dream Orchid [Comprehensive]

In April, the season of flying cherry blossoms, in this season full of vitality and youth, the new freshmen of the University of Tokyo are enrolled.

The campus is full of curious voices from freshmen.

A girl wearing the school uniform of Dongdae University pulled the maroon hat on her head. Her long hair was covered by the hat, and she could only vaguely see the silver brilliance glowing from inside.

She lowered her head and walked quickly towards the auditorium.

The surrounding noise was incomparable, forming a stark contrast to the girl's hurried walk alone.

Crystal came to the auditorium.

The entrance ceremony was about to start soon, and the students came in one after another from the outside. They walked in twos and threes, and Crystal, after scanning the auditorium, sat in the last row.

After the principal's long and boring speech, it finally ushered in the time for freshman representatives to give their speeches.

So, a young man with short silver-purple hair walked up to the speech platform from the side of the auditorium with a step of disbelief.

There was a commotion underneath, and many girls screamed, their faces were flushed, and they looked very excited.

The young man grabbed the microphone on the stage, raised his head proudly, and with a confident smile on his lips, he said to the tens of thousands of people in the auditorium:

"Listen well, let's talk about it first - from today on, my uncle is the emperor of the University of Tokyo!"

There was a commotion in the audience, but many girls screamed again.

Crystal, who kept her head down and listened to the music with her earphones plugged in, turned off the music, raised her head rarely, glanced at Atobe, and then lowered her head again.

There were whispers of conversation ahead.

"Atobe hasn't changed much since before." The young man with blue-purple hair smiled and said to the brown-haired young man next to him.

The brown-haired youth pushed his glasses, then hummed.

"If Sanada were here, he would probably say something like 'too lax'..."

Yukimura continued, looking at Atobe who was confidently expressing his statement on the stage, his eyes were full of nostalgia.

"Everyone, you've grown up."

Tezuka nodded, with a smile on his lips.

They left junior high, graduated high school, and ended up as college students.

During this period, they have experienced a lot and sweated together. They are competitors and good partners who can talk about everything.

Looking back now, it was indeed a journey that they will never forget.

And now, they're grown up.

Atobe was talking on stage, while Yukimura and Tezuka chatted off stage.

Not long after, Crystal turned off the phone, unplugged the earphones a little rudely, looked at the front, and took a deep breath.

The opening ceremony is finally over.

Before the big troops came out, Crystal ran out of the auditorium first.

Yukimura and Tezuka, who were sitting and talking, seemed to sense something and turned their heads to look.

"Tezuka... the person who ran away just now, is it a bit like..." Yukimura asked Tezuka with his head turned sideways.

Tezuka shook his head, he glanced at the back door of the auditorium, and then continued to look forward.

Yukimura understood Tezuka's meaning and stopped talking.

Crystal ran out of the auditorium, stuffed the cell phone and earphones into the pockets of her clothes indiscriminately, and walked towards the principal's office.

Again.

It was as if a big rock was pressing on her heart, and it was difficult to breathe normally.

Putting a few pieces of paper on the table in the principal's office, Crystal left the University of Tokyo, a university that many people dream of, without looking back.

drop out.

After leaving the University of Tokyo, Crystal suddenly felt relaxed all over her body. She looked up at the endless blue sky, and suddenly felt that it was really good to be alone.

Leaving that annoying place, Crystal walked aimlessly on the street.

There were countless conversations around.

"Xinyi! The food in this store looks delicious! Let's go in and try it!"

"Okay... I really can't do anything about you."

-

"Miss Gong! Hurry up! If you don't hurry up, the limited cake will be sold out!"

"Wait a minute! Hinata! Don't run too fast!"

-

"Huh? μ has released a new song again! Be sure to try it out!"

There are all kinds of people around, Crystal knows all of these people, but she doesn't want to see them, and she doesn't want them to recognize her.

Crystal pulled down her hat, lowered her head, and ran forward.

After running for a long time, there were finally fewer people around, and Crystal gradually slowed down.

It's much easier now.

"Crystal...Senior?"

Suddenly, a small voice came from the front. Although Jing Jing was very reluctant in her heart, she still looked in the direction of the voice.

The girl in front of her was wearing a high school uniform with two long braids, her pretty face was full of doubts.

"Ryuzaki." Crystal greeted Ryuzaki Sakura in a lukewarm manner, and she was trying her best to behave normally.

Her hands were trembling, was it the fear of seeing an acquaintance?Or maybe it was something else, so she chose to put her hands in her pockets.

Then Crystal touched the bundle of tangled headphone cables, and a sense of anxiety rose from his heart again.

"What a coincidence, what's the matter?"

Looking at Sakurano who hesitated to speak, Crystal said in a cold tone.

"That..." Sakura hesitated for a moment, she bit her lip, frowned slightly, looked at the crystal, she didn't dare to blink, for fear that the crystal would disappear in place.

She stood in front of the crystal and looked at the crystal, but the crystal did not speak, she leaned against the wall, waiting for Sakura to speak.

This is like a war without gunpowder, whoever speaks first will lose.

Crystal can wait for a long time, but Sakurano couldn't wait any longer, she pulled the satchel on her shoulder, and sent an invitation to Crystal.

"Senior Crystal, are you free?" Sakura's eyes were filled with anticipation, "Can... accompany me for a stroll?"

To be honest, at this time, Crystal should have rejected Sakura indifferently, and then immediately left Sakura's sight, and it would be best not to see each other in the future, but she stood upright inexplicably and signaled to Sakura.

This means... just agree?

Ying Nao's face, which was a bit depressed, immediately burst into a smile, and there were dots of light in her eyes, and she stared at the crystal in a daze.

No way, just go shopping.

Crystal walked up to Sakurano.

Sakura naturally took Crystal's arm, and happily pointed to the left side.

"Senior Crystal! There is a newly built park there! Let's go there! The park seems to be sponsored by Atobe. Senior Momoshiro joked that Atobe finally did a good thing!"

Sakura took Crystal and walked towards the park. She noticed Crystal's slightly stiff body. Sweat began to appear in Sakura's palm, but she had to keep smiling.

"Later, Oishi-senpai went to a high school outside. It seemed that he was studying medicine. Although Kikumaru-senpai was sad, he quickly cheered up!"

"Senior Haitang has become the head of the tennis department of Qingxue Junior High School...ah! Now he is the head of the high school department! Everyone is so good! If Senior Crystal is here..."

Sitting on a bench by the side of the road in the park, Ying Nao talked to Jing Jing about the interesting things that happened in Qingxue in recent years, Jing Jing just listened quietly, without expressing any opinions.

In this way, no matter how much Sakura wanted to say, no matter how happy she was, she finally fell silent and had nothing to say.

Crystal's hands were in her pockets, and she grabbed the headphone cable, trying to straighten it out, but the sweat from her palms stuck to the headphone cable, making the cable dry.

The distribution of lines was invisible at first, but now it is getting more and more chaotic.

Sakura sat next to Crystal, with her hands on her knees, clasped together, her fingers moving helplessly.

The atmosphere was even more awkward.

Quickly think of some more topics, you idiot!

Sakura beat her head desperately in her heart.

If it goes on like this, isn't Senior Crystal going to leave?

"Senior Crystal..." Sakura tremblingly said, "Why did you transfer schools?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Sakura regretted it.

What if it happened to hit Senior Crystal's heartbreak?I really am a fool!

But the words have already been spoken, and it is too late to withdraw them now.

Or... just keep asking?

"At that time, everyone won the championship of the national competition. Everything was going in a good direction. Why did the seniors transfer schools?"

"...not even saying goodbye to any of us."

Speaking out the deepest question in her heart, Ying Nao's heart was beating violently. She knew that if she asked these questions here, if Senior Crystal didn't answer, then...

But beyond Sakurano's expectation, Crystal actually spoke.

"In this world, everyone will die." Crystal didn't look at Sakurano, she leaned back in her chair and looked up at the sky again.

In the sky, white clouds floated leisurely, and occasionally a bird flew across the sky, leaving behind a long series of chirping, and the city not far away was full of laughter, which was the place she had been looking forward to for a long time.

Sakura looked at the crystal and tilted her head in confusion.

"...Eh?"

What does this transfer have to do with it?

Then, Crystal spoke again.

"I am really grateful to you for giving me the courage to live. You used to be the signposts that guided me in the world and the hope for me to live."

"Hey..." Sakura was surprised, "Senior Crystal, isn't this too exaggerated?"

Crystal ignored Sakurano's words and continued on.

"So at that time, I really wanted to be your friend, to laugh and work hard with you, and I had to become better so that I could walk side by side with you."

Sakura is silent.

However, Crystal suddenly smiled.

"But one day, you will grow up, make boyfriends and girlfriends, get married, and raise your own children, Haitang, Taocheng, Tezuka, Atobe... everyone is like this, and in the end you will grow old and die."

"Because these are things that must be experienced in life?" Sakura looked at the crystal, not understanding what she wanted to express.

Crystal shook her head, stood up, took a few steps forward, and looked at Sakurano.Sakura looked into Crystal's black hole-like eyes, feeling a little palpitating for no reason.

After a while, Crystal spoke:

"Because I can't accept your growth, so I choose to leave."

Even so, there is still no escape...

A gust of wind blew from behind the crystal, and the crystal's hat fell down, revealing her long hair.Sakura closed her eyes.

The hat flew into the sky, but the beautiful translucent silver long hair reflected beautiful colors in the sunlight.

When Sakura opened her eyes again, there was only a hat that fell on the ground in front of her eyes.
