I don't know when the fireworks were all burning.

The fireworks left early, and the originally crowded beach became empty again, as if this fireworks conference was a phantom like a fireworks.

The boat was harboring, and the two walked silently on the streets of the small town. The street lights were always dim at night without moonlight, and could only illuminate the blurred shadows of the two people. However, feeling the warm and soft touch in their hands, Shimizuki felt that these were irrelevant things.

She turned to look at the blush on her side, but she noticed it immediately.

Nanami glanced at him, and then moved her eyes away as if she was electrocuted, pretending to be attracted by the night color next to her, blocking the view from her ear with her hair.

However, since she had already held her in her palm, that should be fine. Thinking of this, Kimizu Tetsu said with a smile.

"Nanami."

"Well, what's wrong?" Her tone was faint, just like this gentle night wind.

"How was it like you participating in the idol selection?"

"That, I received a call some time ago and said that I had passed the second selection. After I went back... it was probably next week, and the last interview will be held. It is said that more than thirty people will be selected from fifty or sixty people. In this way, the probability of becoming an idol is quite high after the selection..."

The decision had already been made that night. It was very easy for Nanami to talk about these things. But suddenly a force came from her left hand. She looked back and Shimizuki in front of her looked nervous.

By the way, he doesn't know yet.

Realizing this, Nanami Nanami hid her expression under the night light again, trying her best to control her tone: "Are you anything you want to say about this...?"

Filled with worry, Kimizutsuki couldn't catch the clue from her voice, but just looked at her side face and said seriously: "So... can you not go?"

"good."

The straightforward and neat answer made Qumizuchi stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he realized that she looked up at her, her eyes full of smiles. Before she could have time to be happy, she heard her say again.

"But... Shimizu, you told me not to go... you have to give me a reason, right?"

At the end, she lowered her eyes again, her cheeks flushed, and there was a seemingly unsightly expectation in her voice.

Shimizuki couldn't help but curl up the corner of her mouth. As long as she could stop going, she would have as much as she would have.

"Although I think you will definitely be selected after you go, it's very hard to work for idols. The people in AKB have to work more than ten hours a day. In that case, you probably don't have much time to deal with your studies."

"Hmm...is there any?"

During this period, a lot of information about idols was collected, and Shimizu Tetsuki was able to get the so-called reasons.

"And the idol's income was not high at the beginning, and it was impossible for you to leave him to work. I'm afraid the financial pressure..."

"Are it...is that's all?"

"There is also a handshake. Nanami, you don't want to shake hands with so many people, right?"

Imagine that scene, Nanami really felt a little scared when she saw Nanami. However, Shimizu Tetsu kept talking about him, which made her feel a little anxious.

"There are actually solutions to these...Qingshui, don't you have any other reason?"

"For other reasons..."

Qingshui took a breath and looked back at the fog above the beach.

It was the remains of the fireworks after the fireworks burned. After spreading in the air for a while, it had become thinner and thin, just waiting for a gust of breeze to blow it away.

He turned around, but pulled her other hand up. With a surprised expression on her face, he stood opposite her and slowly approached.

Nanami felt her breathing suddenly become rapid, and her eyes were shaking from side to side in panic, trying to avoid his gaze. However, his hands were already held in his palm, and these attempts were in vain.

After struggling for a moment, just a glance was met, and she was fixed on the spot.

He used a little force to capture the waves in her eyes, and Qingshuichi slowly spoke.

"Then...for me, is that okay?"

"Um…"

A smile and shame climbed up along the snow-white neck, over the corners of her mouth and nose, and finally bloomed in her eyes. She nodded slightly, like a summer night firework.

The sea breeze fell to a standstill at some point, and the cicadas invisible in the bushes brought a sense of heat to the air. Under the ambiguous light, Nanami suddenly felt the light was a little dazzling and couldn't help but close her eyes slightly.

Shimizuki understood and approached little by little.

She had already felt her breathing and trembling, but her phone rang out of time, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere that had finally formed.

He couldn't help but curse secretly. Kimizu Tetsu no longer wanted to pay attention, but seeing that Nanami could no longer control her shame, he took a step back and lowered his eyes.

"That...you answer the phone first..."

“‘First’?”

She blushed and was unwilling to answer. Shimizu Tetsu pressed step by step, shaking her hands that were holding each other with each other, "But I can't get it like this."

He gave him a blank look, and saw Nanami let go of her hand, take out the phone from his pocket and hand it over, and then look to the side.

Smiling, Kimizu Tetsu put away his regret and looked at the screen. There was a strange number on it. He secretly raised his vigilance and chose to answer.

"Hey, who is it?"

There was the voice of a middle-aged man on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Kiyomizu, I took the liberty to disturb me. I am Koizumi from the Fantasy Houndhouse, and I am responsible for the publication of literary works in the Vasu Society."

"Is there anything wrong with Koizumi San looking for me?"

"That's right. I heard that Mr. Kiyomizu recently wrote a new book. I wonder if I can consider publishing it in our Fantasy Winter House?"

He was even more confused, and Shimizuki controlled not to express it in his voice.

"There is indeed a new book, but how do you know? And you don't know the content, why did you invite me to publish it at Fantasy Winter House as soon as you came up?"

There was no surprise there.

"Is it a novel about editing dictionary?"

Shimizu Tetsu's hand tightened, which attracted Nanami Nanami to look over.

"As for the method I know, I cannot disclose it."

He was interrupted first, but refused to tell the truth. Even Shimizu Tetsu couldn't help but speak a little stiffly.

"Koizumi San, if you don't want to say it, forget it. But I have decided to publish this book by Hayami Study. Please don't call again..."

"Mr. Kiyomizu, don't you know?"

"Don't know what?"

"Haami Study Room... I'm afraid there is no ability to publish books anymore."

Kiyomizu was stunned for a moment and said to her phone: "What's the matter?"

The other end of the phone was also a little surprised, and I felt that I was speechless and began to dodge my words.

"Sorry, I don't know the specific situation. But please ask Mr. Shimizu to consider our fantasy house again. Let's do this for now, so I won't disturb you."

Listening to the busy sound on the phone, Shimizuki felt confused.

"What's wrong? Is there something unexpected?"

Facing Nanami's gaze, Shimizu Tetsu shook his head and expressed his own speculation.

"I saw the study room a long time ago, it seemed that something happened."
