"Shouldn't idols be quite popular?"
This is different from what I saw in school. When I was in Asahikawa, I could hear people talking about idol groups like AKB and Nogizaka as soon as I got to class.
"It would definitely not be like this if Mai came, but for us..." Saito Asuka smacked his lips, "And this is a girls' school, not a mixed school."
Boys, no matter they are idols or not, are always irresistible to cute girls, but what about girls? Unless they are at a level that has influence on women's groups, like Mai Shiraishi. As for Saito Asuka, he doesn't like to talk much. In addition, he is still a member of Nogizaka46, but he is not very famous, which makes his classmates feel that he is superior.
'Are you really treating yourself like an onion? 'a feeling of.
'Well...this is simply a matter of character. 'Although he thought so, the Great Condor didn't say it out loud.
"I'll take you to see the campus. We don't have much time."
Saito Asuka, who was half a head shorter than her, was dangling in front of her eyes like a little doll. At this time, Asuka had not fully opened up, and his face still had a childish look, and he was as thin as a little monkey.
Saito Asuka led her to a series of locations such as the concession stand, stadium, locker room, and infirmary.
"Well... there's no need to go to the club building. It has nothing to do with us anyway."
Because they are artists, club activities have basically nothing to do with them. Let’s not talk about class practice time. They sometimes don’t have class. Due to the time conflict with the recording of the program, Saito Asuka will basically disappear every few weeks. a period of time.
"Thank you, Saito-senpai." The Great Condor thanked him sincerely.
"Don't call me senpai, it sounds awkward." Saito Asuka felt a little embarrassed after being called senpai so many times.
"Okay, I understand Saito-san."
It can be said that this is the third time that two people meet? The first time I met her was during the recording of a program, the second time was during the stage play of "Sixteen Protagonists", and the third time is today. I can't say that I'm familiar with her, although the big condor wanted to call her "Asuka". Put it on almost.
"..."
"..."
There was an enigmatic silence between the two.
"Ring, ring, ring~" At this time, the class bell rang. The two of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, looked at each other, said nothing, but walked to the class together.
After class time, Saito Asuka did not continue to talk to the Great Condor. It seemed that the two of them had never met before, but the Great Condor could see that although Saito Asuka kept looking at the extracurricular books in his hands during the end of get out of class, his eyes were It's still drifting towards me.
At 12:30 noon, the bell rings on time, followed by an hour-long meal break.
"Saito-san, do you want to eat together?" The Great Condor took out the flattened bean paste bread from his bag and grinned, thinking it would be nice if he put it on top.
But it’s delicious.
"Okay!" Asuka Saito responded immediately as if he was afraid that the great condor would regret it.
Saito Asuka took out a white lunch box from his bag, unlocked the locks on both sides, picked up the lid, and revealed the lunch box inside. It was very simple, with a few rice balls, sushi, and a few sausages. Of course it's not octopus sausage. That kind of thing only appears in TV series and anime. Who has time to cut sausages for fun.
'...So much...' The Great Condor looked at the several fist-sized rice balls and normal-sized sushi in Saito Asuka's lunch box, somewhat doubting whether she could finish them all.
Compared with her, the bread with red bean paste filling seemed a bit shabby.
The two of them were eating bite after bite. Neither of them were extroverts, especially Saito Asuka, who was more introverted than the Great Condor. It was like two mutes meeting each other, unable to say anything.
At this time, Saito Asuka, who had always been flattered by his 'seniors', also quietly looked at his junior.
She has a cool and perfect face, long black hair, and fair skin. She is very polite, but she exudes a "no strangers" feeling, giving people a sense of maturity beyond her age.
'Another such a perfect girl...Hey, why should I use You. Saito Asuka gnawed the rice ball in his hand without even noticing the rice grains standing on his face.
"Saito-san, rice grains." The great condor took out a pack of tissues from his bag and handed it to Saito Asuka, and gestured to the position of his cheek.
"Ah, thank you." Saito Asuka blushed, turned around and wiped his face, and sure enough, he wiped off a few plump rice grains.
Yes, this feeling was what Asuka Saito had when he first saw Mai Shiraishi. He thought that this girl was so beautiful and so difficult to get in touch with, but she was actually a joke.
Thinking of this, Saito Asuka laughed out loud. The big condor looked next to him with a question mark on his face. How could he laugh just by wiping his face?
But that kind of indescribable temperament is something Shiraishi Mai didn't have at first. Instead, it feels like the feeling that Hashimoto Nana gave to Saito Asuka at the beginning. The two cute little tiger teeth look very soft and cute. She's cute, but once you get to know her, you'll find that Hashimoto Nanami doesn't seem to have much in common with other girls.
If I have to say it, it’s like Shiraishi Mai and Hashimoto Nanami blended together, Shiraishi Mai’s appearance and Hashimoto Nanami’s character.
This was the first impression that the Great Condor gave Saito Asuka.
"Saito-san, what do you think of the second-generation students?"
"Eh?" 'Is the topic such a jumpy topic? Saito Asuka didn't turn around for a moment.
As a second-generation student, the Great Condor actually has no intention of climbing up to the selection team. As long as he maintains the status quo and is a salted fish with a dead salary, he will survive until he becomes a full member and his salary will increase. As long as he does not make a big mistake, he will continue to work until the second term. There shouldn't be anything wrong with being fifteen, it's exciting just thinking about it. The key is that food, accommodation, transportation and communication reimbursement are included.
It's because as a second-generation student, she still wants to help others, Lan Lan, Beibei, Mai Mai, Qinzi, Xuanyin and others. Now the second-generation students and first-generation students seem to be in the same group, but with two groups of strangers There is no difference. If you want to have a good relationship with the first-term students and enter the selection process, you still have to see how the first-term students view the second-term students.
"What do you think... Well, I think the first-generation students still want to have a good relationship with the second-generation students, especially Yueyue, oh, Wakayuki Yumei, who kept talking about the second-generation students during the performance, And Manatsu has always said that he wants to see the second-generation students." Saito Asuka said what other people in the group thought of the second-generation students.
"But I think that unless another show is launched, based on the current situation, it will take a long time for the relationship between the first and second phases to be harmonious."
"Huh? Why?"
"You see, the candidates for the show "Where's Nogizaka" are usually only from the selection group, which means that only those who join the selection group can have contact with the first-generation students. At other times, we are not together during practice time, and there are no other programs together. "There is no time to promote the relationship between the two parties. It will probably take a long time to get together. And now the resources for the first-term students are not enough, where can there be a selection position for the second-term students?" Saito Asuka said seriously.
"Eh...yeah." The Great Condor frowned slightly, but he didn't expect that this senior who looked a bit dull actually had two brushes.
Saito Asuka's rhetoric was actually copied. The reason was that during a recording of a program, Akimoto Manatsu asked Hashimoto Nanami in the lounge, and this sentence was drawn out. She was just copying the model. Just copy it over as usual.
But no matter who said it, this is indeed enough to attract the attention of the Great Condor. As a small idol, all resources are provided by the management. If it is true as Saito Asuka said, the chance of the second-generation selection is too small. It has just been revealed They are definitely not as famous as the seniors of the first-term students. Naturally, they cannot enter the selection in a short period of time. Even if they do, there will only be one or two. Nogizaka Akira's group is still the first-term students, and the second-term students are just hangers-on. , just play in a circle by yourself.
Thinking of Hinako Kitano who was training until her feet were stuck and swollen in the dance studio, Ranyo Terada who was sweating profusely every time she danced, Kotoko Sasaki who even though her hand and foot coordination was not good but made up for it with repetitions, she felt more and more that this It's a pit, it may make a lot of people cry.
"Um...Okami-san? What's wrong?"
Saito Asuka looked at the Great Condor with a little fear. She had a cold face, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were even more frightening. The bread in her hand that had been flattened by her schoolbag was crushed to pieces by her.
"Ah, I'm sorry." The Great Condor realized that he was thinking too much, but his voice was devoid of emotion.
'The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. Why do you think so much? I really am, when did I become so sentimental? 'The great condor took a bite of bread.
However, she really couldn't bear to watch these girls waste their good years in exchange for nothingness.
