"...The next number fifteen is——Nishino Nanase."
The voice of the announcement was extremely clear, as clear as a thunder exploding in the girl's ears, which shocked her so much that she couldn't react for a while. It wasn't until Sayuri Matsumura who was sitting next to her gave her a kind push that she stood up in a daze and walked stiffly to the front.
The voice of Banana Man seemed to be heard in her ears, and the staff were whispering not far away, but the girl couldn't hear it clearly. She just managed to squeeze out a smile that showed that she had been selected, and her heart was already full of joy. disappointment.
'Did it fail... Sure enough, it still failed...'
'I couldn't enter the God of Fortune, and I still couldn't enter the God of Fortune even though there was an extra position. Sure enough, I... it's still useless at all——'
'Obviously, the last order has been completed, and I have obviously been working hard during this period, whether it is recording a program or performing a performance with 16 people. I finally have the opportunity to express my inner invitation, but it is still wasted. Got such an opportunity——'
'You are so useless, Nishino Nanase! '
Negative and repressed thoughts couldn't help but swirl in her mind, as if they had turned into substantive voices, screaming harshly in her ears. Every sentence deeply hurt her soul.
Nishino Nanase's lips were trembling slightly, and her eyes quickly filled with tears in her disappointed and sad mood. But he seemed to think of something again immediately, and bit his lip hard, holding back the tears.
'No, you can't cry! '
'Crying will only make Baiyun Sang more disappointed. Crying means admitting that you can't do it. Crying means thinking that you have no hope in the future. '
'You must not cry! '
Relying on the progress she had made under the pressure of performing with sixteen people these days, the girl miraculously held back her tears. For the first time, she did not shed tears during the selection.
Although the expressions and words when answering were a bit dull and brief, at least the process was continued, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
It's easy to see from the expression on her face as she stood still that disappointment still occupied the girl's slender heart. She looked so worried and depressed that she couldn't listen to any words at all, so she was paying attention to her silently at this time. A trace of worry inevitably flashed in the eyes of several people.
'Na-chan...are you okay? '
Akimoto Manatsu stared at her nervously for a while. Seeing that she seemed to have finally stabilized her emotions, she relaxed slightly, but her eyes still glanced there from time to time, a little worried about the girl's condition.
The conversation that took place on the way out of the hut a few days ago seemed to still echo in his ears. The girl's words of concern for her made Akimoto Manatsu quite happy. At this time, seeing that the person who cared about me at the time was now disappointed and sad because of the selection issue, I couldn't help but feel particularly complicated.
'Na-chan must be very sad when she falls from the God of Fortune to the selection, right? Oh, let's go together to comfort her after it's over. I hope she won't be too sad. It should be enough to have a barbecue -'
Akimoto Manatsu thought silently in his heart.
But no matter how complicated the mood was, the selection process continued without any hindrance.
The next selection was tepid. Rena Ichirai, who had been relatively stable in performance, and Sayuri Inoue, who was always unlucky, stood in the selection position as always, while Mai Fukawa and Yumi Wakazuki were favored by Baiyunshan. The girl has also stabilized since the last one entered the selection, and has occupied a place in the selection.
The girls all seemed a little excited. Except for Wakazuki Yumi, who had a serious and steady personality, the other three girls couldn't help crying. Obviously, they were no better than Nishino Nanase and Takayama Kazumi.
After all, one of these two people is a blessing at the beginning. They are smart and have high emotional intelligence. They have already known that judging from their performance, they are unlikely to lose the selection. And the other goal was no longer on the selection, but on the position of the God of Fortune, and his thoughts had already drifted to nowhere because of disappointment.
And after the steady and calm Yumi Wakazuki established her position, the next person to enter the selection was surprisingly another candidate that the person involved did not expect——
Saito Asuka.
Xiao Feiniao, who finally re-entered the selection after two orders, was obviously very surprised. During the chat in the cabin a few days ago, she had already acquiesced that she would have to accompany her for this order again, and she had long given up on being able to enter the selection.
At this moment, I suddenly heard my name. I was unexpectedly happy and aggrieved. As expected, I also sobbed excitedly like the two girls in front of me, and finally stood in my own No. 10 position.
Seeing this scene, Baiyunshan was silently relieved. Fortunately, this time Xiao Feiniao was on the selection list as he saw from the system. Otherwise, if he had cried again this time because he didn't make it into the selection, he would have cried again. I had to rush over to comfort him.
And the disappointment caused by losing three consecutive singles... Forget it, let her favorite Nanamin comfort her, she can't stand it——
Baiyunshan shook his head secretly.
The selection process continued without incident.
When the last selection place was determined to be Nojo Ai, the three people in the front row were ushered in, and the rankings were the same as the previous ones. The combination of the stars continued steadily, and the girls had matured and calmed down a lot. Ikoma Rina once again stood at the center position.
Continuing on, it is the final round, which is the five positions of the second beatified god.
Standing next to Baiyun Mountain, Akimoto Manatsu silently counted the number of people with her fingers. She had been with the team for a few months now. Naturally, she was not a newbie who knew nothing about it. She still had some knowledge about selection. You must understand.
In addition, she was also present during the last selection, and she already knew which people were more likely to stay, and it was easy to count them at this time.
"First of all, Nanamin, Maihan, and Sayuri. It is definitely impossible for the three of them to fall out of the selection, and they have not appeared until now. Among these five positions, there are definitely three of them——"
Akimoto Manatsu thought silently in his heart.
'So there are only two positions left. Reika is the captain, so it is impossible to fall out of the selection. She must be one of the remaining two positions. In other words, there is only one position left that has not been determined. '
The girl held her chin with one hand and stared at the screen in front of her with wide eyes. Her eyes swept over the girls in the seats. While recalling what she saw during the last selection, she analyzed it carefully, as if she wanted to confirm which one More likely.
After much deliberation, in the end I could only reluctantly feel that someone like Nakata Hana was more likely, but I couldn't confirm which one it was.
This is also normal. The last order was on the selection list, but there are not a few girls whose names are still not read in this order. The fluctuation range is too big, so I want to think about it with just a few glances. It is really difficult to confirm it.
After all... no one can guarantee whether the operation will allow a member who has never entered the selection before to suddenly stand in the position of the God of Fortune, right?
However, the girl who was bored and doing these actions to relieve her tension failed to notice that after the spots were gradually confirmed, Baiyunshan, who was originally standing next to her, moved away silently. He stopped his steps and came to the side, leaving an open space beside the girl.
At the same time, the last lucky god is about to be announced.
'Sure enough...if I have to say it, Hana is the most likely. After all, the first few orders have been steadily selected, and the second order has also entered the first row. No matter how you look at it, she will have her place this time——'
Akimoto Manatsu nodded slightly, pursed his lips, and gradually confirmed his judgment in his heart.
But at this moment, the sound of announcement finally sounded.
"No. 8 is——"
The air suddenly became silent.
"——Akimoto Manatsu!"
