"I told you that the bathtub is very crowded." Amamiya Shiori hugged his knees, sat at one end of the bathtub, and huddled up.
Mai Shiraishi was sitting at the other end, also unable to stretch.
The water almost overflowed the bathtub, with large pieces of foam floating on it.
"It won't be crowded if you sit aside." Mai Shiraishi said slyly.
"That's weird." Amamiya Shiori gave her a roll of his eyes.
This scene, this bubble, it's hard for Amamiya Shiori not to think about it, like the legendary bubble bath or something.
Amamiya Shiori pushed away the foam in front of him, but unexpectedly his face was washed by the sudden splash of water. Wiping his eyes hastily, Amamiya Sōri felt a pair of hands parting his tightly joined legs, and a soft body slipped into his arms.
"Hehe~" Mai Shiraishi wiped Amamiya Shiori's face with a towel lying aside.
With the soft fragrance and warm jade in her arms, Amamiya Shiori couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Opening her eyes, Shiraishi Mai's face was very close, her moist eyes flashed with cunning eyes, and her reddish cheeks were as pink as if she had put on light makeup.
"Why is Xiaozhi's face so red?" Shiraishi Mai asked.
Amamiya Shiori didn't want to answer because Shiraishi Mai was also blushing, but she didn't know whether it was because of taking a bath or for some other reason.
Suddenly, a strange thought came to her mind, and she also wanted to tease Shiraishi.
"Bah--" Amamiya Shirai took advantage of Shiraishi Mai's unpreparedness and stamped it on her face, and deliberately made a loud sound.
As soon as he finished printing, Amamiya Shiori lowered his head in shame. The reflection on the water surface keeps fluctuating, just like the inner peace. She wasn't afraid that Mai Shiraishi would react with disgust. She was familiar with Shiraishi's character, but she was uneasy about her sudden bold move.
"Oh" Shiraishi Mai was stunned for a while, then raised her voice. To be honest, she was shocked, but it was more of a joy. When she was in junior high school, Amamiya Shiori gave her the impression of being mysterious, reliable and handsome. Now Amamiya Shiori is still reliable, but she is becoming more and more cute.
The way he bows his head shyly and has nowhere to put his hands is endearing.
"Bo—" It's not polite to reciprocate, so Shiraishi Mai responded with action. She also printed a mark on Amamiya Shiori's cheek and also made a deliberate sound.
While Amamiya Shiori was dazed while touching her face, Shiraishi Mai turned sideways and lay in her arms.
"Phew~ I can finally stretch my legs." Shiraishi Mai smiled and changed the subject.
"Hmm..." Amamiya Shiori replied absently. Her thoughts had wandered to who knows where.
The steaming water vapor and white foam embellish the bathtub like a fantasy, making people indulge in it. People soaking in hot water relax their limbs and lose strength.
Amamiya Shiori couldn't see Shiraishi Mai's positive expression, but he could feel her attitude from her reaction. Mai Shiraishi may have regarded it as a normal intimate behavior between girls. This is nice and won't make people feel awkward.
"Did Xiaozhi learn from Sara Rei?" Shiraishi Mai suddenly asked.
Nagashima Seira has a cheerful and generous personality, a hearty laugh, and likes to chirp.
"I'm overthinking it. It's too late for me to hide from her," Amamiya Soi defended. The girls in Nogizaka usually just touch and touch each other, but she can't accept random texting. It depends on the person.
"Indeed, Sera Rei is too enthusiastic." Shiraishi Mai nodded in agreement. No matter what, she was still in a very happy mood.
"Speaking of which, what do you want to talk about, Mai?" Amamiya Shiori pressed her back against Mai Shiraishi's back, looking at her smooth and graceful neck, and asked.
"Ah, that..." Shiraishi Mai sighed, "It's about the selection."
Suddenly turning to a formal topic, the tone became heavy.
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't the selection list for the third singles be announced the day before yesterday?"
"Well, what's the problem?"
"There's no problem. I'm quite happy that Ruoyue and Mai Mai entered the selection. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"I think there are too few selection places, and many members don't have a chance." Mai Shiraishi looked back at Amamiya Shiori, her eyes sincere. "It's already our third single, and there are still many members who have never been selected for auditions. Although they don't say it, their disappointment and sadness are written on their faces. Even Sara Zero has been a lot depressed recently."
"Although the word 'sympathy' comes out of my mouth a bit pretentious," Mai Shiraishi, who has always been a lucky god, really can't really understand the feelings of the members who have not been selected, "but I really feel that they just lack a chance."
"The list is determined by the operation. We don't have the energy to change the decision of the operation yet." Amamiya Sōri asked, "Have you ever thought about it, Mai-san, that there may be members who can't enter four or five albums in a row or even once in two or three years?" Selection.”
"That would be too pitiful." There was a hint of gloom in Shiraishi Mai's eyes.
"But this is the reality that is very likely to happen." Amamiya Sōri analyzed, "The number of people in Nogizaka is not very large now, and it is already a very good condition for almost half of them to be selected. Like next door, the number of people selected is about the same as us. , but the total number of members is hundreds, and each sub-group has a fixed number of selection places. Many members have no chance of selection from the time they join the group to graduation, if there is no operational preference and no seniors give up their positions."
"That's true, but AKB has a theater and has many opportunities to show itself to fans. We don't have a theater in Nogizaka. If we don't make it to the audition, we will have very few opportunities to appear in "Where's Nogizaka"."
"It's really hard for the members who didn't make it through the selection. We can only hope that the management will give them more job opportunities in the future, such as broadcasting, live, etc." The two of them tried to avoid using the pronoun "under" in their conversation. Although the word was introduced by Neighbor a long time ago and is widely used among the fan community, it is not a good word after all.
"Alas~" Shiraishi Mai sighed again, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness. The girls who participate in Nogizaka all come to pursue their dreams, but there are always some who have smooth sailing and some who have experienced setbacks.
"Don't think too much. When Nogizaka becomes famous in the future, there will be more and more opportunities." Amamiya Sugaru comforted.
"I hope so." Mai Shiraishi blew away the bubbles in front of her.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I have good news to tell you. It is about going to the SME for talks tonight."
"What's going on?"
"I'm going to be on a prime time variety show, hosted by Akisauri-san." Amamiya Soi said quietly.
"Eh?" Shiraishi Mai turned her head in surprise, confirming again that Amamiya Shiori was not joking, "Really? Saury? Is that saury-san who talks endlessly and can stand and talk for hours?"
"Among the comedians, besides him, who else is named Saury?" Amamiya Sori smiled a little proudly.
Shiraishi Mai opened her mouth in surprise. She thought that the first big3 hosted program after Nogizaka would be Music Station, but she didn't expect that Amamiya Souri would appear on Saury's variety show so quickly.
