After the live performance and several hours of handshake meetings in the afternoon, the members were obviously almost exhausted.
But as mentioned before, this is Nogizaka46’s first live in a sense, so even if the stage is a little casual and the scene is a little plain, the people standing under the stage are all eating from their own homes, even though they are very tired. But it was quite enjoyable.
The same goes for the handshake meeting later.
The time came to five o'clock in the afternoon, and the early spring sun was shaking.
This day's activity can be regarded as the most tiring one since March. Everyone's face is tired, especially the younger members. Almost all of them dozed off on the bus, except for a few. They can still keep their spirits up, chatting quietly with each other, or doing things they like to pass the time.
Nishino Nanase rested on the shoulder of his beloved Xiao Ming. Shiraishi Mai rustled and chatted with Sara Rei next to her about the anecdotes she had just seen. Matsumura Sayuri, who often stayed next to her, seemed a bit taciturn and droopy. The little Asuka, whose eyelids were dull and had seemed quite energetic just now, also stopped and took a nap on the arm of Maya Wada who was sitting next to her. She was obviously very tired.
Baiyunshan noticed this.
He sat in the front row of the bus, which is where teachers or tour guides would sit during school spring outings. Sitting here, he could see the movements of all the members in the back row clearly.
Including the intimate behavior of a certain Tsuki Sakura in the back seat, Saito Yuri is secretly touching the members around her, and Ando Miun, who has always felt that she has no sense of existence, is actually still reading a book seriously at this time, but It's strange, why is the seat next to her empty?
Oh, I'm sorry, so Kashiwa Yukina is there.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in just an instant. Baiyunshan was only distracted for a moment, and then he immediately took them back because there was a person in front of him.
Nana Hashimoto was holding a book and looking at him.
The Hokkaido girl had a hint of tiredness on her face after a tiring day, but she looked inexplicably calm. A pair of glasses hung on the bridge of her nose. Her short hair was dyed by the sunset reflected in her eyes, and the eyes behind the glasses But it was extremely clear, and the clouds in the sky outside the car window did not leave a trace of gray.
The book looks very familiar.
The packaging is simple, the cover is simple, only the content is not simple.
It was the book Baiyunshan gave her.
Nana Hashimoto has read this book in its entirety so far. Each page is filled with something different, long and short poems, aphorisms, or an intriguing passage. There is no connection between them. But there seems to be a slight connection between them, making it difficult to figure out what kind of book this is.
The girl couldn't help but think in annoyance that there was no way to classify this book, and she couldn't even think of where to put it on the bookshelf.
But there was still one thing that made her very satisfied.
At least this is a book that you can just turn to a page at any time and anywhere. You don't need to remember the previous content or mark it with bookmarks. You just need to open it. It's such a book.
I have to say, it’s interesting, isn’t it?
This may also be Baiyunshan's purpose for writing this book. He did not want to write a shocking book, but a book that can pass the time when you are bored, and can be touching when you open it occasionally. This book A gift first, a book second.
It's a gift, naturally tailor-made for the owner of the gift.
This is a book belonging to Nanami Hashimoto.
It's just that sometimes she doesn't understand it well.
For example, there are many parts that make sense, but when you look at a certain page at the back, you find that they are contradictory. Many words that make sense seem to become blurry when you look back, like a fish tank with a drop of ink.
She didn't understand these contradictions. She wanted to understand, so she looked at Baiyun Mountain.
It has always been like this. Ever since this book was given to her, whenever there was something she didn't understand, the girl would come back and ask him, and this time was no exception.
"A contradiction?"
Since most of the members in the car were resting, they could only communicate in low voices.
Hashimoto Nana nodded. Her glasses were a little crooked due to her movements, and she subconsciously held them up. The unique temperament of a literary girl was exuded, but she didn't notice it herself.
"Although this contradiction is nothing, because it is not relevant, both statements seem reasonable, so in the end I really can't understand which one is correct." The girl explained.
"Does it have to be right?" Baiyunshan asked back.
"Isn't it?"
"Turn to page 41," he reminded.
Hashimoto Nana turned over the pages of the book without hearing the words. The forty-first page was a short poem. Again, it had no connection with the two pages before and after.
[When I say the word 'future', the first sound is the past. 】
[When I say the word 'silence', I break it. 】
[When I say the word 'nothing', I create something out of nothing. 】(1)
The girl looked at the poem and fell into thought.
The meaning of Baiyun Mountain is very obvious. There are contradictions in the world. Whether it is logic or otherwise, contradictions have always been an integral part of the world, because there are contradictions in human nature.
Humans are animals, and other animals rely on desires and instincts to exist. In addition to these, humans have rationality that transcends instinctive desires. Humans themselves are contradictory things.
For example, Baiyun Mountain itself is the same.
On the one hand, he wished that his little idols would rely on him for everything, discuss everything with him, and never leave him. But on the other hand, he also hoped that they could become independent and mature as soon as possible. This would not only consider the future, but also shoulder his own responsibilities. The burden on you can also be relaxed.
After all, it is impossible to be an idol for a lifetime, and it is impossible for him to be an agent for a lifetime. When he is not an idol, he can only support himself.
Contradictions are reflected everywhere.
Hashimoto Nanami was also a little conflicted while thinking.
It is true that there are questions. Who can read a book without doubts? But the problem is only the means, but the purpose is something else.
She has a favor and wants Baiyunshan to help.
At this time, he couldn't speak.
"What's up?"
Baiyunshan saw her thoughts and asked directly.
Hashimoto Nana glanced at him and thought to herself, Baiyun-san, you must be too direct. Since you can't speak, you must be in trouble. You don't even have time to mentally prepare for such a direct inquiry. Give, wouldn’t it be more difficult for people to ask? Who else could continue at this time?
But she finally spoke.
"It's about Kawago Hina-chan."
Hashimoto Nana explained the whole story in the future. It was probably that school had started now and she wanted to ask Baiyunshan to help send Hina to school.
Naturally, the academic problems of young idols who come to Beijing from other places cannot be ignored directly. Therefore, except for those who have graduated from high school, most of them have to transfer to schools in Tokyo, and most of them transfer to specialized artist schools. Continue to go to school, such as the well-known Horikoshi High School or Hinode High School.
After Kawago Haruna went to Beijing, she naturally had to go to school. In the past, her elder sister Fukawa Mai helped take good care of her and sent her to school. However, there have been a lot of activities recently, and Baiyunshan helped find some jobs at Under - this is also his job as an agent, so he is particularly active in doing it.
It is precisely because of this that I really haven't had time to send Harina to school in the past few days. After much thought, Mai Fukawa finally found a good friend.
And a certain Hokkaido girl found Baiyun Mountain.
Baiyunshan was a little speechless, thinking that Fukawa was too honest. Helping send people to school was something that was beyond their duties. It was valuable and touching to do it, but if you were really busy, just say clearly that you were unavailable. Isn't that enough? You're still asking for help in a roundabout way. Are you so worried about Xiaoyangcai?
Of course, he also understands that this is the girl's personality. She has a strong sense of responsibility for helping others. She will help to the end and she definitely doesn't want to give up halfway. Besides, even if everyone can understand it, Hina-chan, who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, will definitely be disappointed, right?
After all, I heard that this little guy likes Mai Fukawa, and unlike Ko Asuka who likes to cling to Nana Hashimoto, Hina is very fond of Mai Fukawa, but she won’t take the initiative, let alone cling to her, she will only Watching her silently in the dark and supporting her, she is a real fan who loves her deeply.
He is also a true fan, so he will not take the initiative because he is worried about disturbing the other person and causing the other person to have any negative emotions will make him feel extremely guilty.
Such a true fan is really difficult to deal with.
Baiyunshan thought.
There is no problem sending her to school. After all, she is his little idol. Baiyunshan still has a natural sense of responsibility. Of course, she must pay attention to such a top priority as going to school. Shekawa has no time to do it for herself, but it is inevitable. The timing was a bit unlucky.
Because he just had a good meal of Maimai a few days ago.
Mai Fukawa, who is as gentle as water, will naturally not mind, but as the number one holy knight, Kawago Hina, who is still in the magical girl stage at this time, may not mind.
If I was taking her to school, I wouldn't be suddenly stopped by the police on the way, and then charged with child trafficking and sent to jail, right?
No way, right? Is that guy not so sinister?
Baiyunshan's forehead was covered with sweat.
After all, he is just a child of thirteen or fourteen years old, the same age as Maya and Xiao Asuka. Look at how innocent these two guys are. They are still Paladins. The so-called people who are close to Zhu are red. Fukagawa is the number one under such a good man. The holy knight must have a good personality because of his influence, and he won't be a stumbling block for him just because he fucked up her virginity, right?
Then by sending her to school, wouldn't it be like walking into a tiger's mouth and seeking death?
He looked up at Hashimoto Nanami and found that the other party was waiting for his answer.
A certain Hokkaido girl's book has been closed, her glasses are still neatly placed on the bridge of her nose, and she looks like a bridge secretary. Her legs are close together without any gaps, her back is straight, and the last sunlight outside the car window shines in. It feels like the light is hazy, and the picture is very beautiful.
Baiyunshan suddenly realized a problem and said: "By the way, Hashimoto, if it was because of this matter, why would you just ask me directly in front of me? Why do you ask me questions in a roundabout way?"
Hashimoto Nana turned her head away, thinking, "Isn't it okay to be shy?"
