Lovers tolerate and care for each other.

But here, what she received was only one-sided, unapologetic tolerance and concern.

Thinking that such things may no longer belong to her in the future, Sakura does not hope that she can see such drastic changes, but the upcoming ending is already gradually progressing.

Sakura began to hope that she could slowly change in the direction she liked within the scope of control.

For example, you slowly learn the tools that you are not good at using, or you slowly master the tricks of training animals to make them obedient.

However, she felt as if she was under the control of the world at the moment and could not change what was already happening.

In this regard, the pain of the foregone conclusion made her breathless, and she could only bite the bullet and endure it with all her strength.

Perhaps during that time, they could have had a grand farewell kiss.

At that time, an announcement was made in the car that the train was about to arrive at Hakata Station in Fukuoka Prefecture and get off at Sakura.

There, Sakura needs to transfer to the Kyushu Shinkansen train, and Kagoshima's central station is her final destination.

The indifference in Taki's heart, as if he were in a windless zone on the sea, finally turned into a deep confusion and reluctance.

However, this reluctance did not disappear even after he smelled Sakura's fragrance, it still continued to fiddle with his heart.

He thought that even if he didn't get used to this feeling one day, it would not disappear in the following days.

"We're almost at Hakata Station, it's time for you to get off."

When the train started to brake and slow down, Taki opened his mouth and said.

In my memory, I can still feel the crystal mist hidden in Sakura's eyes, especially when she wears colored contact lenses, it is as clear and transparent as two mirrors.

At that time, he urged the other party to get out of the car like this because he had thought about taking advantage of that opportunity to go home with Sakura. He had never visited her in person.

Although I wanted to say this, I felt it was rude to ask, so I could only remind her that it was time to leave at the station.

It was at this time that she tried to get closer to him and said softly, "Um, Taki-san..."

"Um?"

"Yesterday, I dreamed of a scene where we were alone like this a long time ago."

Taki sighed. He thought his heartbeat would stop and not beat.

But...by that time certain things had become an established fact.

If you say such words again, are you telling him that there are infinite possibilities in the future?

Even if they leave, they will not be completely cut off. Like in the movie, they will never appear in each other's lives after going abroad.

He understood what this sentence meant, but at least it was like a final declaration.

The curtain came to an end like this, and Taki thought that Sakura had not experienced anything annoying in the years he had been with him. It was impossible for him not to raise the corners of his mouth without raising the eyebrows of this kind of thing.

"I'm getting off the car."

With this ethereal whisper in his ears, Sakura's lips pressed against his, and the train stopped.

The car doors quickly opened to both sides with a heavy sound.

The people in the carriage had seen this situation of lovers hugging each other too many times. Instead, this scene made them speed out of the carriage, wanting to leave as much extra time and space to them as possible.

After a fleeting kiss, Sakura's light body left the wall behind them and jumped onto the concrete platform of the train station.

As if being held captive, Takiichi followed Sakura to the car door.

At that time, she turned to face herself and waved to him with a smile.

Next, she needs to go outside the Hakata Station platform, where there are many trams stopping in different directions on the island.

"Bye! Taki-san...please live a happy life from now on..."

"Yeah~~ I also hope that the concert and clap party will go smoothly, and work hard towards 'the cherry blossoms in everyone's hearts' to become a famous singer, Sakura."

The door of the tram leading to other places slowly closed behind Takiichi, just like the rhythm of a movie's sensational movement.

At the same time, the sound of air squeezing out instantly blew a bunch of curly hair on Taki's forehead.

The closed door also separated him from the return train behind him through the glass of the window. He didn't say any more words. Although he felt it was a pity, it also made him breathe a sigh of relief.

The tram started slowly, as if he should get back on board by then.

Then he watched the space where he and Sakura were, slowly letting them diverge horizontally.

Takiichi's eyes were almost glued to the last glass of the train carriage, chasing Sakura's figure with his eyes.

But in fact, he didn't want to leave before confirming that Sakura had really disappeared from sight.

"Hey~~"

Sakura nodded and did not go directly to the station exit. She seemed to be smiling as she strolled along the railway track in the direction of the train's departure.

She stood on the rails and played like a balance beam.

From Hakata Station in Fukuoka, take the Kyushu Shinkansen to the Kagoshima Chuo Station train stop, which is only a short distance away.

The train gradually pulled away from Sakura, who imitated the best-selling American horror novel "The Body" and the plot of the movie "Stand By Me" adapted from one of Stephen King's Tales of Four Seasons, while Takiichi stood there and watched.

Hold her.

I have always thought that Sakura's appearance is really charming.

And when she stepped onto the Kyushu Shinkansen train and waved away, Taki turned around and walked to the door where she got off before.

After getting in the car, I pressed my forehead against the glass and sighed deeply.

The confused mood of whether he had really given up everything began to linger in his thoughts like a hurricane and could not be dissipated.

He couldn't help but look outside the car. The train was heading towards its return route, and he could just see the landmark of the Kagoshima Space Center.

As the launch vehicle took off, the shadow at the top created a whirlpool in his heart that could not be dissipated for a long time.

"You know... Taki-san, wherever you go in Kagoshima, no matter which direction you are in, you will always encounter the scene of rocket launches every once in a while.

The people on this island have become deeply accustomed to its existence. If you come here one day, you must feel it."

Should I be going to Kagoshima? No...I'm not.

I just stopped for a few minutes on the platform of Fukuoka Station, which is still some distance away from Kagoshima. I did not continue to go to that land, nor did I go to those must-see places that I heard Sakura say too many times.

Place to go.

The information about those places was engraved in his mind like woodblock printing.

Kirishima Yaku National Park is located in the Kirishima area, at the southernmost tip of Kyushu, covering an area of ​​552.3 square kilometers, including the Kirishima volcano group, Sakurajima, Yakushima and Kinko Bay areas. It is the first place in Sakura Country to be designated as a national park.

The park is famous for its subtropical plant communities such as the betel nut, which is designated as a special natural monument. It is rich in natural resources, ranging from temperate plants to subtropical plants.

In addition, the park has 23 large and small volcanoes, 15 calderas, and 10 crater lakes. The diverse volcanic landforms provide unique scenery.

Sakurajima: The world-famous active volcano is the symbol of Kagoshima. The island is covered with volcanic lava. The eruption in 1950 (Showa 20) connected the originally isolated island of Sakurajima to Kyushu to form a peninsula. Kagoshima City

It only takes 15 minutes by ferry to Sakurajima.

Space Development Center: Located on Tanegashima Island, it is the base for Sakura Country to launch satellites. It is known as "the Space Development Center with the most beautiful scenery in the world". In 2001, it successfully launched the H2A test rocket.

Kirishima Shrine: Legend has it that it was built in the 6th century. Whenever the New Year comes, nine drummers wearing tengu masks will beat the nine large drums of Kirishima Shrine and play the prelude to the sacrificial ceremony.

In addition to these, there are Kagoshima Aquarium, Koori Hot Spring, Shazumi Hot Spring, Kaimondake, and Zentokuji Temple.

Yakushima, Tanegashima, Fukiage Sand Dunes, Chiran Samurai Residence, Demizu no Tsuru, Space Development Center, etc., there are no less than twenty hotels, which are enough to visit for a long time.

Fukuoka Prefecture, where Sakura often performs, is more like a short-term stop for him.

So Takiichi always thought that not going to Kagoshima with Sakura was the biggest regret.

Having lost the relationship he had been in love with for many years, he looked at the rocket taking off with a confused look in his eyes.
