"Nana Min-san, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?"
Kitano Rinako put the prepared drinks on the table, looked at the two people who were sitting upright without saying a word, and scratched her head feeling a little inexplicable for a moment.
"No, it's nothing-"
Hashimoto Nana's face has returned to normal, only the roots of her ears are still slightly hot, but fortunately under the cover of her short hair, she can't see clearly. She just glanced at someone guiltily, and then looked at someone again when their eyes came into contact. He ducked away as if he was electrocuted.
Of course, the final result was that Baiyunshan gave in. After hearing the voices and remembering that there was a girl here whom he had just met today, he immediately let go of his hand, allowing Hashimoto Nanami to sit back in time. .
There is nothing he can do about it. He knows how shy the girl is. What she did just now is almost to the limit. If she keeps going, if Kitano Rinako encounters this scene, it's hard to guarantee that she will become angry and ignore it. If you drive yourself out without hesitation, you will be in trouble then——
But, why do I always feel that such a sneaky behavior... seems like an affair——
When she thought of this, Hashimoto Nana's face couldn't help but turn red again, bah bah bah! What affair? Now you are obviously in your own home, what can you do that is not fair and above board, and is there any need to steal? Moreover, my relationship with him is not that kind of relationship...
Baiyunshan didn't have so many messy thoughts in her mind. She just felt a little regretful that she couldn't get the girl to agree in that situation just now, and wasted such a good opportunity.
However, we can also see the other party’s determination from this point. It seems that if we want to make Nanamin change her mind, we have to think carefully about other methods——
Thinking about these things in his heart, Baiyunshan could not see any flaws on the surface, and continued to chat with Kitano Rinako who got into the kotatsu again. Hashimoto Nanami on the side also came to her senses, knowing that it would be a bit strange for her to remain silent, so she also joined the chat.
Naturally, Kitano Hinako doesn't see any problems. In terms of being easy to fool, she should be regarded as the best person among the people I have met in Baiyun Mountain so far. She is more Maya than Hatanaka, and there is no pressure at all.
In addition, she was also very curious about whether the idea that came into her mind just now was true. In the following time, she kept secretly observing the details in this area and testing it from time to time. The result surprised her.
"Ah, Baiyun-san, you said you and Nana Min-san only met at the beginning of last year?"
Kitano Rinako's eyes widened in surprise. In this case, wouldn't it be completely inconsistent with the script of my boyfriend and girlfriend before joining the group? During this period of time, she already knew that Nogizaka46, which Hashimoto Nana had not joined, was officially established in August last year——
What the hell is going on?
Kitano Hinako's eyes were rolling, looking back and forth between the two of them, and the fire of gossip in her heart became even stronger.
Baiyunshan replied: "To be precise, we have known each other for a year and three days... Why are you asking this?"
Suddenly he looked at her warily.
"Ah! No, no-"
Kitano Rinako glanced to the side guiltily, her little head started to work rapidly, and it was almost smoking. Then she thought of an unattractive topic and said: "Um...Baiyun-san, you'd better follow Let me tell you the story about Nogizaka46, Hinako, I want to know——"
"Why do you want to know this all of a sudden?"
"Well, well, I'm rather curious~"
Kitano Hinako pouted.
Baiyunshan shook his head and pointed to Hashimoto Nanami opposite: "If you want to ask about this aspect of the story, you'd better ask your Nana Min-san for more clarity. After all, he is an active idol and has a different perspective. What he understands is different. It must be more interesting to you than what I said——"
Hearing the words "active idol", Nana Hashimoto inadvertently frowned. She was about to deny it, but then she thought of the news someone had revealed, so she pursed her lips and acquiesced to the fact.
"Yes! Why did I forget, Nana Min-san, please~"
Kitano Hinako's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned her attention to the girl next to her. She shook her arm and started acting coquettishly. Hashimoto Nana was helpless for a moment, so she could only tell her some of her experiences in the group. .
"Okay, okay, I'll just... let me tell you a brief story about what happened during my first live -"
It must be said that a certain Hokkaido girl has a good talent in telling stories. Her good education and her habit of reading books make her words and sentences always give people the feeling of a cultural person.
In addition, her own experience is rich enough. Although she only participated with the idea of having a casual lunch at the beginning, she has seen a lot of things after more than a year. Now she is telling this to a person who has just entered high school. The little girl listened, of course it was more than enough——
Kitano Hinako's eyes were filled with brilliance. Which girl has never dreamed of standing under the spotlight on the stage and becoming an idol that attracts everyone's attention? It's just that ideas are ideas, and the girl knows the gap between reality and reality very clearly. Therefore, this idea has always been just a vague concept with no specific motivation.
But now that I heard a real active idol talk about what he saw and heard, this thought that had been deeply buried in my heart could not help but be slowly brought back to life. Along with the experience described by Hashimoto Nanami, it was no longer as vague as before. Instead, it became clearer and stronger little by little.
Idol...
I don’t know if I can one day become an idol like Nana Min-san——
A trace of confusion flashed in Kitano Rinako's eyes.
...
...
Time went on like this until evening, and it was getting late, and it was time for a certain girl to go back.
Naturally, it was not Hashimoto Nanami who had been telling stories all afternoon, but Baiyunshan was responsible for seeing off the guests. She was already suffering from a fever, and after telling stories for so long, her iron-clad body inevitably felt tired, so she went back to her room to rest after dinner.
Before leaving, he made an appointment with a certain Hokkaido girl to visit again tomorrow when he had time. Kitano Rinako was sent out of Hashimoto's house by Baiyunshan, and he was going to send her back according to the address she said.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, he still had a good impression of this lively and cute girl. He stepped on the snow on the side of the road and made a crunching sound under his feet, which sounded very relaxing and comfortable.
However, Baiyunshan could still keenly sense that the girl was a little absent-minded, but after all, the two had just met today, and they were not familiar at all, and their relationship was not that close, so after a little hesitation, they gave up the intention of asking.
After arriving at a residential area, Baiyunshan waved goodbye to Kitano Rinako and then returned to the Hashimoto family.
While thinking about how to persuade Hashimoto Nanami, he couldn't help but worry about whether what happened today would have an impact on the girl, causing the difficulty to escalate again. After walking like this for a while, when they returned to Hashimoto's house, the sky had completely darkened, and the sky was dyed with a layer of dark red, apparently covered in night.
After Hashimoto's brother opened the door for him, he went back to his room to rest. The living room downstairs was empty, no one was there.
Baiyunshan was not interested in sitting here alone, so he prepared to return to his study room to rest.
However, to his surprise, the study door was locked.
