With the help of field staff, the recording site was temporarily transformed into a discussion format.

In the middle of the studio were Shitara and Himura, who were the chairpersons of the seminar. Eight Fukujin members were seated in front of the two rows of tables arranged in a figure of eight on the left and right.

The remaining selected members served as voting guests and sat on the young altar directly behind.

"Then, the discussion to decide who wants to skydive has officially begun." Shitara said: "The first is the debate on why you are not suitable for skydiving. Please explain your reasons in order."

Skydiving, as an extreme sport, is loved by many outdoor challengers. It is known as "the sport of the brave" by the world for its thrills and challenges.

Although there are some tough-hearted people in Nogizaka, most of the members are essentially "coquettish" little girls who rarely come into contact with such sports. Therefore, at first glance, everyone's reaction was resistance.

Therefore, the topic from the beginning has entered the direction of everyone trying to excuse themselves and trying to avoid this task.

The first person to speak was Ikoma Rina, who has been in the center for five consecutive times.

"I think it's easy for me to burst into tears." Ikoma came up and found a way for himself. "Isn't this time just to pray for a big sale? I may cry out of fear, which will prevent me from promoting it well."

"Oh, oh, that's it." Banana Man nodded, looking reasonable, indicating that he completely understood.

"But, for the effect of a TV show, wouldn't it be good to cry?" Shitara changed the topic, and the seemingly reasonable reason was ruthlessly shattered.

Ikoma smiled shyly, feeling that he had not thought of his reasons well.

"It's better than no reaction, for the show." Himura took over.

"Yeah, yeah." Ikoma nodded with deep approval, "In terms of reaction, I think I can still do it well."

"Ah, that's enough." Banana Man borrowed the donkey from Poxia, "Okay, that's it."

"No, I -" Ikoma was about to continue his quibbles when he was interrupted by Banana Man.

"Okay, no problem, next one!"

Rina Ikoma held back her words.

The next person to speak was Erika Ikuta. She expressed her resistance to this skydiving euphemistically on the grounds that she was physically and mentally exhausted after being soaked in the waterfall during her last prayer.

Then there is Sayuri Matsumura. Her reason is the weirdest. It turns out that her "tentacles" need to be fixed and not messed up, so she can't skydive. Such a nonsensical reason was naturally solved by Shitara by wearing a helmet.

The members all said their own things, some said that they were old and had a bad heart, some said that they had weak reactions and were not effective in the show, and some said that they had just come back from the show not long ago and were not suitable.

Shitara grasped the details and used twisted reasoning to deal with all kinds of reasons. You said your reaction is weak, then we want to watch you skydive and see if you can react well. Anyway, no matter what you say, there are reasons to advise you to skydive.

Amamiya Shiori, who was sitting in the back row and had nothing to do with anything, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he saw their quibbles.

"Hey, Amamiya!"

"Eh? Ah, hi!" Suddenly Shitara cue's his name, Amamiya Shiori quickly came to his senses.

"Have you been listening to the seminar just now?" Shitara asked, like a teacher catching a student who was distracted in class.

"Of course I'm listening." Amamiya Shiori nodded quickly.

"Oh." Shitara continued, "Any ideas?"

"Well..." Amamiya Shiori crossed his arms, "No one wants to dance."

"Yes, we are at an impasse. No one wants to jump. What should we do? Do you have any good ideas?" Shitara asked.

"I think everyone is not very active, so it is difficult to find candidates who are willing to go skydiving. It is better to change the idea. Since no one wants to jump, then choose the person who least wants to jump, so as to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm. I'm motivated." Amamiya Sohi introduced his method seriously.

"Eh-" The gods of fortune sitting at the discussion table exclaimed.

"The less you want to go skydiving, the less suitable you are for skydiving, but the more likely you are to be selected. Isn't this interesting?" Amamiya Sugawara said with a smile.

Somehow, the God of Fortune in the front row felt chilled when he saw this smile.

"Oh, that makes sense. In this way, everyone will become very active." Shitara couldn't help but said, "But if you choose according to this method, as long as everyone shows that they want to go, you are very suitable. Go, it’s hard to tell the difference!”

"Yes, this will still lead to a deadlock." Himura agreed.

"This is easy to solve. Whether a member is suitable or not is not decided by herself." Amamiya Sori said with a smile, "In the first stage, everyone will explain why they are suitable for skydiving. In the second stage, everyone will explain separately. If you think that the other members are not suitable for skydiving, then everyone will vote for the person you think is the least suitable for skydiving, and then you will be selected."

"Oh! I understand." Shitara suddenly realized.

"Eh? Do you understand what?" Himura pretended to be stupid.

This method essentially makes everyone hold each other back, from fighting "not to go skydiving" to fighting to "go skydiving", from thinking that someone is suitable for skydiving to thinking that someone is not suitable for skydiving. Although it creates the illusion that everyone is positive, it does add more drama than the original.

On the surface, everyone is very active and want to jump, but in fact, the more active they are, the less they want to go. This awkward state can easily cause the blessing gods participating in the discussion to confuse their words without paying attention. It will make the audience think about their actual thoughts from the members' performance, and make them smile knowingly.

"As expected of Amamiya," Shitara clasped his shoulders with both hands, sighing with a cold expression, "A terrible woman."

"Hiss—" The Gods of Fortune also hugged their shoulders tightly, as if they were frightened by the terrible woman Amamiya Sori's method of playing with people's hearts.

"No, no, no~" Amamiya Shiori smiled and waved his hand.

"Takayama, do you have anything to say?" Shitara asked Takayama Kazumi who was eager to try in the hina in the back row.

"Hey Du, I think Xiaozhi's method is a bit complicated." Gao Shan said.

"Oh," Shitara nodded, "Do you have any ideas Gao Shan? In other words, do you want to jump?"

"Actually, I want to jump." Gao Shan was fearless.

"Oh~ So you want to dance, that's good." The banana people all looked at her approvingly.

"Then who do you think dances better here?" Shitara asked.

"Hiss——" Gao Shanyishi crossed his arms and said, "Everyone."

"Hahahaha!" Her serious look made the whole audience laugh.

At this time, the candidates for skydiving were suddenly expanded from the "least suitable" person to all the gods of good fortune. I can only say that it doesn’t hurt to stand and talk. Amamiya Shiori and Takayama Kazumi in the back row are typical spectators and it’s not a big deal.
