"Shiori-chan~ Are you okay yet?" A voice called from afar.
"It'll be ready soon!" the girl replied without looking back.
"Come on, wait for me for a few more minutes."
Almost at the same time, Amamiya Shiori, who was studying how to use the snacks in other aisles to shoot down the stuck snacks, also replied.
"Eh--"
"Eh?"
"How do you know my name?" The girl was very confused.
"What's your name? What do you mean?" Amamiya Soi felt confused, "Aren't you calling me?"
She turned her head and saw a girl, also wearing a junior cheerleading uniform, running towards the other end of the corridor, panting.
"Are you Shiori too?"
Amamiya Shiori realized immediately.
Shiori is a very common name pronunciation in Japanese. There are many names pronounced as Shiori, including Shiori, Shiori, Shiori, and Shiori in Chinese characters, and しおり in Hiragana, etc.
Although the number of people is definitely not as high as that of Sakura on the bad street, there are definitely many people named Shiori. When walking on the street and hearing someone calling Shiori, two or three people turned around together. It was not uncommon for Amamiya Shiori to encounter it.
"Ah, it turns out that your name is also Shiori." The girl suddenly realized.
"What a coincidence, haha~" Amamiya Saki said with a fake smile.
This fake fan revealed her secrets so quickly that Amemiya didn't hesitate to expose her.
"Shiori-chan, seniors - the seniors are coming to our lounge and have something to say," the girl's friend, another member of the cheerleading squad, ran up to her and said breathlessly, "Everyone is here, except you, the captain." .”
"Oh, okay, wait for me."
"What are you waiting for? Do you want to make the seniors angry?"
"But, I-" Shiori hesitated.
"It's okay, you go ahead and do your work, I'll handle it myself." Amamiya Soi said.
"Okay, okay." Shiori-chan agreed guiltily.
"Uh! You, you, you, you are -" The little cheerleader noticed the appearance of the girl in the sailor dress at this time, "Little, no, Amamiya-san? It's Amamiya-san, right!"
The little cheerleader, who was extremely anxious just now, immediately transformed into a fan who was embarrassed when seeing her idol, and she clenched the hem of her skirt with both hands.
Shiori-chan opened her mouth slightly in surprise, unable to understand the fanaticism of the groupies.
This little cheerleader is a friend who often talks to her about Nogizaka46.
Amamiya Shiori nodded.
Unlike the fake fan Shiori-chan, this time she is a real fan.
"W-Why are you here? Oh, yes, I almost forgot, Nogizaka-san is coming to kick off today," the little cheerleader said excitedly and a little incoherently, "Ma-Mai is here?"
"Of course she's here and is now making final preparations before kick-off."
"She, I, I, it's over, I forgot to bring paper and pen! Please, can you tell me about Mai's sample?"
"Okay~"
"Just tell her, come on, come on." The girl's face was slightly red, not sure whether it was because she had just finished running or because she was nervous and excited.
"Okay, I'll tell her."
"Thank you, I-" The girl was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"You go about your business first." Amamiya Soi came to the rescue, "I will tell you."
Shiori-chan, who thanked Amamiya Sori again, was pulled away by her excited friend with a slight guilt, leaving Amamiya alone in front of the vending machine to think of a solution.
"Who is she? Is she famous?" Shiori asked her friend curiously on the way back.
"You don't even know Amamiya-san? She is the most famous among the Nogizaka members."
"Is it special? Her name seems to be Shiori too?"
"Idol who was admitted to Tokyo University, do you remember the news from a while ago?"
"Is it her?" Shiori-chan asked in surprise, "Eh? Is she so powerful?"
"Yes, that's her." My friend started talking about her idol, almost forgetting that she had something urgent to do. "She also wrote a novel, she's a writer!"
"It's a little different from the idol I imagined. Are the members of Nogizaka really like this?"
"Of course it's not all like this. It's just that Amamiya-san is special. Most of the members are beautiful and cute. Well, of course, I'm not saying that Amamiya-san isn't beautiful and cute. It's just that her outstanding characteristics are different from other members. .”
…
My friend chattered endlessly about his idol, unconsciously slowing down and almost forgetting the main business.
Fortunately, when the two rushed to the lounge, the official cheerleaders of Lotte Golden Eagle had not arrived yet, and many young cheerleaders were still chatting and doing homework, so there was no delay.
On the other side, Amamiya Sori successfully used the gravity of snacks in another aisle to knock down the stuck snacks.
When I arrived, I was empty-handed, and when I returned, I had two cans of drinks and two bags of snacks. Amamiya Sōri placed the snacks on the table in the break room for the members to share.
Mai Shiraishi, who was still sitting on the steps, took the orange juice and took a sip.
"Are you still nervous?" Amamiya Shiori asked.
Mai Shiraishi didn't speak, closed her eyes, covered her chest with one hand, and answered.
"I just met a fan of Mai, let me tell you something."
"What are you talking about?" Shiraishi Mai asked curiously.
"Come on!" Amamiya Shiori imitated the expression of a little cheerleader.
The look of excitement and nervousness amused Shiraishi.
"Thank you~" Shiraishi Mai stood up, smiled, and patted Amamiya's head with determination.
More than an hour later, the fateful moment finally came.
The stands were already filled with fans who came to watch the game.
At the entrance of the players' entrance, reporters also carried long guns and short cannons and kept taking pictures.
Amamiya Sugawara stood on the court and looked toward the stands, and saw in the distant stands a small group of teenage cheerleaders excitedly watching the performance of the Golden Eagles' mascot and cheerleaders.
The atmosphere was very lively.
After the performance, all Nogizaka members, except for Mai Shiraishi, entered the venue under the leadership of the cheerleader girls.
“Next, on Lotte Group Day, the fan appreciation festival 2013 kick-off ceremony officially begins!”
Mai Shiraishi, wearing a Rakuten Golden Eagles uniform, walked into the stadium from the entrance, wearing a baseball glove in her left hand and holding a baseball in her right hand, bowing to the audience.
The members jumped up and down and waved their towels to cheer her up.
"Today's kickoff guest is Mai Shiraishi from Nogizaka46!"
Accompanied by the music of "Girl's Rule", Mai Shiraishi entered the field, stood in front of the kick-off position, and bowed several more times.
After a day of practice, and her ability was certified by Rakuten Golden Eagles' ace Tanaka Shoda, Shiraishi Mai can hit a good shot as long as she shows her practice level.
