"Eh~ me?"
When her name was suddenly called, Mai Fukawa was obviously a little surprised. Then when she heard his question, she nodded slightly sheepishly: "Well, it's like this -"
"Don't you think it's a pity?"
Baiyunshan looked at her curiously.
"What a pity? It's okay... After all, the last time I attended the coming-of-age ceremony, I was actually very happy. Although it wasn't as formal as Nanamin and the others now, it was still a memorable memory for me -"
Mai Fukawa shook her head slightly, and then couldn't help but half-jokingly said: "And even if there is any regret, there is nothing I can do. Although I also want to hold a coming-of-age ceremony within the group, it is best to be with other members, but it's already It’s in the past, so you can’t participate again, right? Then don’t you have to wait until next year to be with Manatsu and the others—”
"It feels good to hear it this way——"
Baiyunshan couldn't help but laugh: "But when you mentioned Qiu Yuan, I remembered something. Qiu Yuan will be an adult next year, but his appearance as a child is no different from now. He is no different when he is two years old than when he is twenty. The difference is, with such a big head since you were a child, you will definitely be regarded as an alien, right? You must be much better than her - "
Mai Fukawa was also amused, but heard him say again: "But don't worry, although I can't let you participate in another coming-of-age ceremony, in other aspects, you can still make up for the regrets a little bit-"
Fukawa Mai was startled when she heard the words. She was about to say something, but she saw that the group of sisters in front of them, who were walking slowly in the cold wind, had arrived in front of the shrine and walked in step by step. Seeing this, Baiyunshan hurriedly followed. It happened to interrupt the conversation between the two.
...
...
Arriving at the shrine, the bustling sounds suddenly subsided a lot.
The girls were led all the way forward. Even though they had been here several times, they still felt a little inexplicable nervousness as they walked. Maybe it has something to do with the sense of ritual. Just looking at the towering trees around and stepping on the fine stones, I straightened my back unconsciously and temporarily forgot about the cold.
After arriving at the atrium that had been vacant in advance, the priest in charge of the ceremony also waited for a long time. It can be said that the moment the name Nogizaka46 appeared, this new girl idol group naturally established a strong relationship of interest with this shrine. In particular, the former is more beneficial to the latter——
No one will struggle with interests, especially if it is something that is obviously beneficial to both parties. Although the priest is a clergyman, he is actually a civil servant, so he naturally understands this truth... It is precisely because of this that today we can say It has opened the door to convenience for the four girls who are about to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony. All aspects of treatment have been raised to the highest level, making them as satisfied as possible.
Although it is a small shrine, the highest standard is not much higher——
When Baiyunshan arrived at the scene and squeezed into the crowd of staff at the back, he saw that the solemn and grand ceremony was coming to an end. The leading priest recited prayers and blessings, and led the girls to worship respectfully. The magic-breaking arrows containing blessings were delivered to their hands, which added to the nobleness and beauty of the girls who were already wearing furisode. It was so holy that the photographers watching behind them couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to take a few pictures immediately——
It's just that it's not the time for them to take action yet. The ceremony won't officially end until the girls respectfully complete their return gifts and arrive on the red carpet that was laid out in advance.
Then came the interview session.
Of course, the media personnel who have greeted them in advance don’t have to worry. Those who can ask questions at this time will not ask tricky questions, but will focus on the New Year’s vision and related topics in adulthood.
The girls have already prepared the answers to these questions in advance, so they won't be too difficult to answer. Even if they are temporarily nervous and forget it, it doesn't matter. They can always say one or two sentences according to the idea.
But there are still one or two unexpected situations that arise——
When it was Hashimoto Nana's turn, the reporter asked the girl what she thought of the furisode she was wearing as usual. The girl's answer was not beyond Baiyunshan's expectations. She answered calmly and gave a brief summary of herself. opinions, and pointed out the relationship between the clothes on the body and the respective supporting colors.
However, after saying this, the girl suddenly praised the creativity and idea, and then added that if she had the opportunity to wear similar clothes in the future, she would not want to wear such a color again.
After being curiously asked by the reporter, he half-jokingly explained: "Because if you wear a wedding dress, wouldn't it look like lettuce?"
As he spoke, he glanced at someone's location vaguely.
The scene suddenly burst into friendly laughter, and Bai Yunshan, who was mixed in behind the crowd, scratched his head in embarrassment. He naturally understood what the girl meant by saying this, and she was obviously retaliating for his previous behavior.
I really hold a grudge...
Helplessly, he complained silently to a certain Hokkaido girl, ignoring the gloating gaze of a certain Mayonnaise star who was standing with the former, but Baiyunshan couldn't help but silently follow this train of thought in his mind. Thinking about it. If a green wedding dress looks like lettuce, wouldn’t it be okay if you don’t wear a wedding dress? You can wear Bai Wugu instead!
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He originally felt that clothes such as kimono furisode were particularly suitable for Nana Min, both in temperament and appearance. Now that I think about it carefully, Nanamin looks even better in her white dress than in an ordinary wedding dress...
Well, it’s just that it’s hard to see this thing. You can usually only see it at weddings, and it’s a Japanese wedding... If you want to convince a thin-skinned girl to wear it for you, I’m afraid it’s still a long way to go. And it’s a long way to go——
The sound of the shutter clicked one after another. After this interview, the members wrote down their New Year wishes and blessings on the ema on the side, and then continued to accept the next interview. They were busy like this for a long time, and their faces were almost a little awkward when taking pictures. After the laughter froze, the curtain finally came to an end.
According to ordinary people's procedures, after finishing the task here, the next time will probably be to go shopping with friends wearing furisode, take photos, or attend a gathering of classmates and friends, have fun all day long, and celebrate one's first adult life. one day.
But it's different for little idols.
In other words, there are some subtle differences.
None of the girls were from Tokyo, so it was definitely impossible to attend a reunion of friends and classmates. After all, there was not enough time. As for meeting their parents, except for a certain girl from Hokkaido whose family situation is relatively special, the other girls have already done it when they put on their furisode, so there is no need to do anything more.
Therefore, Baiyunshan has already thought of a way to celebrate for them.
That is--
drink wine!
