At the same time, in addition to the conversations on the rooftop, there were also people in other corners of the city who were homesick.
"This is it!"
"Hey~ It looks very nice. Has Ranshi-chan been here before?"
"Yeah! I came here to eat with my parents before. It tasted very good, so I recommend it to everyone-"
In front of an ordinary-looking family restaurant, four girls looked up at the brightly colored signboard and the curtains fluttering in the wind. The curiosity on their faces did not last long, and they walked into the door with their steps and the sound of conversation. As the setting sun gradually melts into the air.
The space in the store is not very spacious. After all, it is an unknown family restaurant. There are only a few diners at this time. After a few girls came in, it became a little more lively. The decoration is close to plain, but it is clean and simple, the tables and chairs are neatly placed, and the lights are scattered and create an atmosphere.
The four girls, Ranyo Terada, Mina Hori, Ayane Suzuki, and Kotoko Sasaki, took their seats one after another.
"Speaking of which, after all, Ranshi-chan is from Tokyo. In terms of familiarity, she is indeed much more familiar than us. For example, when I went to Shibuya for the first time, I got lost. I still called Maiqiu to take me out. Speaking of which, it's still... It’s really embarrassing—”
The person who said this has short hair and a cute and childish face. At first glance, he may not be eye-catching, or even a bit honest, but if you look closely, you can get the exquisite features between his eyebrows and eyes. It is expected that when he grows long, he will be a generous man. The beauty is none other than Ayane Suzuki, who was born in Akita like a certain mountain uncle.
There was deep envy in his tone, and he was obviously very envious of the background of the girl in front of him. Unlike his hometown of Akita, which is known to have almost no features except Akita dogs, Tokyo is a world-famous metropolis, almost synonymous with fashion and fashion, Shibuya. Even if you have never been to Ginza and other places, you must have heard the name. For a girl of this age, it is quite lethal.
But fortunately, there is no fixed Akita Kuro now. Although he will become his own regiment commander in the future, Terada Ranyo is completely different from his own regiment commander. When he heard this, he immediately retorted: "Nothing, actually. ..I’m not particularly familiar with Tokyo either.”
"Not familiar with it either?"
The remaining three girls were stunned when they heard this. Hori Mina subconsciously said in surprise: "Ranshi, aren't you from Tokyo?"
"That's true, but it really can't be called that familiar..."
Terada Ranyo said, paused, and then hesitantly explained in a low voice: "I'm a little embarrassed to say it. Although I was born in Tokyo and have lived here all my life, I didn't make any friends in school. My grades don't count. I'm good at school, but I'm also very bad at sports. My classmates used to nickname me Nobita. It's quite appropriate when I think about it. I'm just like Nobita, with poor grades and no sense of presence... After school, I basically I walked home slowly alone, and I didn’t go to many places. Because I basically didn’t have any friends, I didn’t go out to play much. The most I went to was just the park closest to home..."
After finishing his conversation, he suddenly felt a little silent in the air around him. He looked up in surprise and saw three girls looking at him with their mouths wide open and their big eyes glaring at him.
"Ranshi-chan...I didn't expect you to have such a past-"
After a long time, Suzuki Aanyin sighed softly.
Horimina nodded vigorously, and it was unclear whether the expression on her face was surprise or pity.
Sasaki Kotoko felt the same and said silently: "I originally thought I was the only one like this, but it turns out Ranshi-chan is even more unlucky than me. At least I haven't been given a nickname like Nobita -"
"Then what was your previous nickname?"
Terada Ranyo asked curiously.
"Faulty tape drive."
Kotoko Sasaki replied.
Terada Ranyo: "..."
Hori Weiao said: "..."
Suzuki Ayone: "..."
Thinking about it carefully, this nickname is inexplicably apt. The girl named Sasaki Kotoko, despite her pretty appearance, is actually an out-and-out otaku. Apart from talking about the anime or voice actors she is interested in, Except for topics like this, there are basically no long speeches at other times.
Sometimes when others are talking, they remain silent and expressionless, which even makes people wonder if they are dissatisfied with themselves. The other girls present have experienced this kind of thing more than once, but they finally found out after they couldn't bear to ask again. , The girl is not dissatisfied, but her memory is a little bad, and she often forgets what she just said when thinking about other things, so she often has an expressionless face.
You think she is responding to you with a cold face, but in fact she is desperately rewinding the tape in her mind, recalling the relevant things just now... This feature is inexplicably consistent with the faulty tape drive——
"Speaking of which, does it really matter if we come here to eat dressed like this?"
After a while, another voice sounded among the girls.
The honest child Ayane Suzuki lowered her head and glanced at the sportswear she was wearing, and then glanced at the other girls wearing the same clothes as hers. She whispered with a little worry: "I came here to eat after practice. If I'm not careful, If your clothes get dirty, your manager will scold you, right?"
"Don't worry, not everyone is as lavish as Kii-chan, we just have to be careful."
Hori Weinan spoke comfortingly, her tone obviously relaxed.
"You should just talk to Baiyun Sang. Other managers Sang will be more careful, but he doesn't care much about it. As long as he speaks, it will be fine."
The calm-faced Kotoko Sasaki looks dignified and mature, but in essence she is just a little girl of the same age as a certain little Asuka. She has almost the same idea of being lazy and looking for a backer.
"Sigh~ Compared to this, I'm more worried about whether I will be scolded by the teacher in class tomorrow -"
Terada Ranyo sighed softly, his expression looking slightly downcast.
Hearing this, the other girls also fell silent one after another. Although they have been in Tokyo for several months and have even appeared on radio and formula programs, they have never stopped practicing. The course may not be intensive, but that doesn't mean it's not demanding. Every day of class is a physical and mental test.
The second-term students will naturally have to face that teacher who many first-term students have complained about as being harsh, fierce and fearful. Compared with other second-term students who have had a little experience, the four girls present can be said to be almost She has no experience, even if the clumsy kii-chan is not very good at dancing, her bright smile and temperament already meet one of the standards of an idol, which is beyond the reach of several girls——
Therefore, they face reprimands almost every day in class, and occasionally when the words are harsh, it makes people turn pale. This is one of the reasons why the four girls can become friends. With the exception of Ranyo Terada, all the others are members of the rural group, but the girl, who was born in Tokyo, can get along with each other without any strangeness. Sympathy for the same disease may be an extremely important factor.
However, even though he was sighing, there was still a hint of unwillingness in Terada Ranyo's heart. For her, being looked down upon by others has been something that has happened since her early school days. For this reason, she even developed the habit of making fun of herself and making a certain girl eat the salted fish she met for the first time. Startled.
However, in reality, it was more than that. Although she was used to being looked down upon, used to being told that she couldn't do it, and even she seemed to be used to laughing at herself, she never gave up her efforts. Even though she knew that she might have little chance or no chance, she still chose to become an idol because she wanted to prove herself.
'One day, I want one plus one to equal one hundred! '
Thinking about the words someone said when they first met that day and the harsh criticism from the teacher in class today, Terada Ranyo bit her lip gently, as if there was a fire burning fiercely deep in her thin body.
However, before her fire burned for long, she heard a sigh in her ears.
"Oh~ it's really not easy to be an idol——"
I looked up and saw that the person who said this was Horina.
The expression on Hori Mina's face was slightly confused, as if all the strength in her body was drained away with this sigh. Her hands lay softly on the table, her chin poked her arms, and she whispered: "Obviously even one You haven’t sung an exclusive song yet, and it’s not even a formal debut, but you’re already so tired. Compared with other people, are you really not suitable to be an idol?”
Terada Ranyo opened his mouth and was about to say a few words of comfort and encouragement when he heard Sasaki Kotoko next to him said in a low mood: "Maybe, but I'm a little homesick. It's the first time I've been away from home for so long! Selection It’s been several months since I passed the exam, and it’s been a long time since I last went home——”
Suzuki Aanyin said lonely: "I also miss Akita a little. I miss my mother, father, and the dog at home, brother..."
"Me too--"
Horimina lay on the table and raised her hands feebly.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Even Terada Ranyo was also infected by this atmosphere. His eyes were slightly empty, and he couldn't help but miss his relatives at home, the familiar furnishings and food. If he smelled it carefully, he seemed to be able to smell the strong fragrance, which made his eyes moist. My appetite is whetted and my stomach is growling——
Ah? wrong!
Taking a closer look, I saw that it was not an illusion, but that the food I ordered had finally arrived.
The lady proprietor of the restaurant, who had been silently observing and listening nearby, smiled warmly and said a few words of care to the little girls who suddenly felt homesick. This immediately broke the weird atmosphere and moved the girls who had been tired for a day to tears. Then they After devouring the delicious food that was served, no one said a word for a long time.
After all, nothing is more important than eating. When a certain senior asked to leave his hometown and live in a dormitory alone, the mother who doted on her daughter gave her a lot of advice: Don't stay up late or go hungry. The same goes for girls.
It's the most hateful thing to disturb a hungry person from enjoying a meal. However, regarding some of the conversations that just happened, Hori Mio couldn't help but say some words, which were really stuck in her throat and made her whole body feel uncomfortable.
So while eating, he couldn't help but suddenly raise his head and ask questions to the girl beside him.
By the way, Ayaon-chan, when you feel homesick, why is the dog in front of your brother?
