In an apartment in Tokyo, Akimoto Manatsu was sitting on the sofa watching the news on the TV.
What the news is talking about is the news about Nogizaka46, the official rival of AKB48, a female idol group that made its official CD debut yesterday.
Perhaps it was because the TV was not turned on loud enough. She listened very carefully, keeping her eyes fixed on the faces that appeared on the TV screen, and then silently recited their names in her mind. Some were smoother, and some were not. It took me a long time to remember it, but I couldn't remember it.
She was watching so seriously that she didn't realize that the tea she was holding was gradually cooling down. She didn't come back to her senses until the news was over and took a sip of the slightly cold tea.
The younger brother sitting across from her couldn't help but said: "Sister, isn't this the idol group you join?"
"Yeah." Her voice was quite calm.
"We have already made our CD debut. Time flies so fast."
"Yeah." Her voice was slightly rippled.
"It's a pity that sister still has to take exams. It may take a long time before she can go back. I wonder if your idol friends have forgotten you?"
"Akimoto Mamoru." Akimoto Manatsu turned his head and placed the cooled tea cup in his hand on the coffee table: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as mute."
For a moment, brother Akimoto remembered his sister's majesty in the student union and the shadow of when he was ruled by the other party, but he still continued: "Sister, I care about you! Although I am a boy, I still know to some extent With all these twists and turns you girls have gone through, you have been away for so long. If you go back, you will probably be in a very difficult situation, right? After all, everyone is no longer on the same line, are you going to be bullied in the past? "
"What do you mean?" Akimoto Manatsu looked at his brother.
"How about forget it and stop being an idol."
The sound still seemed to echo.
After listening to what his brother said, Akimoto Manatsu returned to the room calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Of course, the premise is that you can ignore the several big bumps on the poor brother's head and the figure who is busy writing school rules at the desk.
To be honest, although he is a little embarrassed, he is really charming.
Akimoto Manatsu locked the doors and windows, and sat in front of the desk distractedly. He propped his chin with his right hand and looked at the afterglow under the desk lamp in deep thought.
Between academics and idols, there are people who focus on the former, and there are people who focus on the latter, and there are even people who don't focus on both and focus on convenience issues. There is no doubt that under the influence of strong family factors, Akimoto Manatsu focused on academic issues. For this reason, she chose to leave her career in the latter.
This is undoubtedly a very difficult choice. The two months of getting along is not long or short. No matter how slowly a girl's friendship is established, it is enough, but you have to say how familiar and intimate you are, I'm sorry, once you choose Without departure, close friendship will gradually cool down like tea, and eventually be poured into the sink.
What's more, she is not a very outgoing and cheerful person.
She is very smart, and her experience in the student union has also made her eloquent. She is very good at talking to people. In layman's terms, her EQ and IQ are very high. But precisely because of this, what her brother could understand, how could her sister, the person involved, not understand? When the exam is over and you return to that environment, your situation may not be that good.
I haven’t seen each other for a few months, and I can’t even remember the names of some of them. How will a person who chose to retreat when he was going through all the difficulties and was about to move forward, and then choose to return after his official debut, be treated?
After all, there is no way to share joys without sharing hardships.
Although during those few months of getting along, she understood that everyone was a very nice and gentle group of people, but to be fair, even she would have some objections and objections to this kind of guy, right?
So... let’s start from under!
Step by step, let everyone agree with you little by little, and slowly integrate into it, you can do it, Akimoto Manatsu!
Akimoto Manatsu clenched her fists to cheer herself up, then she put on black-rimmed glasses, took out books and test questions from the desk, and started preparations for today.
The process of learning is boring, but Akimoto Manatsu is not impatient at all. She has always been very patient. Learning for her is nothing more than repeating the past process, summarizing past failures, and then re-achieving the current goal.
The test papers turned black and white, and the TV program downstairs started and ended. It wasn't until the laughter of his brother watching TV came again that Akimoto Manatsu ended today's review.
After a long stretch, she packed up her desk, then ran all the way downstairs and rummaged in the refrigerator.
But I couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
"Sister, what are you looking for?"
Brother Akimoto chewed the macaron in his mouth, glanced sideways, and said vaguely.
Akimoto Manatsu looked at him quietly and shook his head: "No, I have found it."
The TV was turned off again, and my brother returned to the desk. Everything seemed to have returned to a few hours ago.
After returning to the room, Akimoto Manatsu lay down on the bed and sighed softly.
Immediately, she seemed to have thought of something, climbed up and came to the desk.
Opening the drawer and moving the clutter away, there was a book lying quietly inside.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally took out the book, then looked around the room, which was empty except for herself. She still felt a little uneasy. She tiptoed at her brother who was gnashing his teeth in front of the desk and copying the school rules, and then Return to the room, lock the door, and close the curtains.
She opened the book.
The content in the book is very simple. In short, it teaches you some massage techniques, and then eliminates excess fat or impurities, and ultimately achieves the goal of losing weight.
She stared closely at the words and patterns on it, as if doing something great and great, and gently pressed her hands on her... head.
Three times left, three times right, three times heavy, three times light.
The movements look extremely skillful. Apparently Akimoto Manatsu has tried it many times, but every time he still has to follow the book, as if this will be more effective.
After thirty minutes passed like this, Akimoto Manatsu, who felt his arms were a little sore and numb, put down his arms and walked to the mirror to look back and forth.
Hmm...it feels like it does have an effect.
She rubbed the soreness in her arms, thinking to herself that doing this seemed more tiring than reviewing and writing test papers, but it didn't matter, as long as hope was still there, she would never give up!
Akimoto Manatsu, who encouraged himself again, took a long breath, then turned on his phone and skillfully retrieved the same text.
"What's the benefit of having a big head?"
Looking at the rows of advantages, confidence returned to her arms. She couldn't help but nod her head as she looked at them, which seemed to resonate with them.
Under the light, the shadows on the wall are gritty and unyielding.
