"Jingle Bell!"
Early in the morning, a ringtone rang out from the house of Omiko and Shinuchi. You could tell by the retro ringtone that it was Omiko's cell phone.
"Well..." Shinuchi Mayi was also awakened by the ringtone of her mobile phone, but she just turned over and continued to sleep after the big condor answered the phone. After all, today was a rare rest day, and she wanted to sleep more. a while.
The Great Condor groped randomly beside the pillow and found her mobile phone. She opened the phone cover and took a look at who it was.
'Kotoko Sasaki'
Then the answer button was pressed.
"Hey...good morning, Qinzi..." the great condor whispered, rubbing his hazy eyes with his other hand.
"Good morning, Eagle. I'm sorry to call you so early. Didn't I disturb you?" Sasaki Kotoko's soft voice came from the other end of the phone.
"No, my alarm is about to go off, just in time. What's wrong?"
With that said, the Great Condor sat up and opened the window. It was almost winter and the weather was very cold, but the room needed to be replaced with fresh air. On the other side, Shinuchi Mai turned her head and glanced at the big condor resentfully, then turned back and continued sleeping.
"Um... I wanted to ask if you have time today?" Sasaki Kotoko hesitated.
"Yes, today is not a day off."
"Um...um..." Sasaki Kotoko hesitated.
"Huh?" Da Shenying asked again. In her impression, Sasaki Kotoko was not someone who stopped talking mid-sentence.
"Would you like to go to the amusement park?" Sasaki Kotoko seemed to have made up her mind. It was originally an invitation question, but she turned it into an undeniable affirmation.
"..." The Great Condor was sobered up by her shouting.
'Amusement park...'
She remembered that the last time she went to an amusement park was when she was ten years old, and she went with her family. However, the items she wanted to play were not available due to age restrictions, so she, her mother and two younger brothers basically watched her father. People go up and play.
After calculating the salary she had just received, it was not undesirable to go out for fun to change her mood. After all, she had always felt that there was some nameless pressure on her recently, making her somewhat breathless.
"Okay, where to play?"
“Go to Disney!”
"Okay, when will we go?"
"Now, I'm almost at Nogizaka Building." Sasaki Kotoko's voice was trembling as she spoke. She must have been walking and was out of breath.
"Well, I'll take a shower and then go down."
"Then I'll wait for you at the door."
"No problem, come right away."
The Great Condor hung up the phone and lay on the bed for a while, sobering up.
"What's wrong?"
Next to her, Shinuchi Mai asked abruptly.
"I was shocked. I thought you had fallen asleep. Qinzi asked me to go to Disneyland. Do you want to go with me?" The Great Condor raised his body half up and asked.
"Kotoko...I won't go, I want to catch up on my sleep. It's fun." Shinuchi Mayi wrapped herself tightly, not even letting go of her head.
However, no matter how many times I watched it, the Great Condor always felt that Shinnai Mayi’s sleeping posture would always suffocate him to death.
"You're so lazy!" The Great Eagle gave her a virtual slap, then got into the bathroom and started washing up.
The Great Condor washed up quickly, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and carefully checked whether there were any flaws on one side. He was finished quickly and put on the octopus sweatshirt.
"Are you sure you don't want to go?" Before leaving, the Great Condor asked Shinuchi again.
"You pulled me out just as I was about to fall asleep. Go quickly, go quickly, don't disturb my sleep." Shinuchi Mai raised her head and glanced at the big condor hanging by the wall, and said with disgust.
"Okay, okay, go to sleep and let's go." After saying that, the great condor walked out of the room.
"Dang!" The door closed in response.
After hearing the door closing, Shinuchi squirmed in the quilt, and then a light emitted from the quilt that made Shinuchi a little dazzling, but she quickly got used to it.
'2CH'
The page of this forum is displayed on Shinuchi Mai's mobile phone. The relevant topics on it are all about Nogizaka, or in other words, they are all discussions about Ocondor and Hori Mina taking the C position of the new single. The curses on it are overwhelming, even though There are people who say good things, one or two out of ten.
Shinuchi Mai frowned at these filthy words. She quickly poked at the phone screen with her hands and refuted it, but she didn't seem to be sleepy at all.
"Kotoko!" Before the Great Condor even left the building, he saw Kotoko Sasaki standing outside.
Sasaki Kotoko waved to her, wearing a mask her expression could not be seen clearly, but she did not speak. She was also wearing the octopus sweatshirt they bought together before.
"Where is your mask?" Sasaki Kotoko asked when the great condor came to the front.
"Uh, I forgot." The Great Condor touched her face. There was indeed no covering, and she didn't like having something covering her mouth. "I'll go up and get it."
"Oh, no need." Sasaki Kotoko stopped the big condor from going up to get the mask, "I'll buy a disposable mask later. The subway is coming soon, let's go first."
"Yeah, that's fine." The Great Condor didn't care much.
The two people were walking on the road. It was getting late, it was already past nine o'clock, and there were a huge crowd of pedestrians on the road. In Tokyo, a place where land is precious, everything is so noisy.
"Ying, you are already the CENTER of the seventh order. The media has already exposed it. You can't be so careless in the future."
The two walked out of the supermarket. The Great Condor had already put on a pair of blue disposable masks, but Kotoko Sasaki next to them still reminded them.
"Yeah." The Great Condor responded succinctly. At some point, she even felt disgusted with the title CENTER.
"Eagle, do you have any comics you like to read?" Sasaki Kotoko tried to find topics in the areas she was good at.
"Yes, I read it for a long time last night." The Great Condor's eyes lit up when he heard the comic.
"What are you looking at?" Sasaki Kotoko asked confidently. Throughout the past and present, she has basically dealt with both good and bad reputations, well-made and inferior products.
"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Series!"
"..." Sasaki Kotoko was a little speechless. She had read this comic, but the style of the comic was too hardcore, and perhaps too discouraging, so she threw it away after just a few glances.
"I'm no longer a human being!"
"?"
The journey from Nogizaka Building to Disneyland takes about thirty minutes, including the subway and walking time.
The most difficult part is riding the subway. It doesn’t take anyone to understand that the Tokyo subway is crowded. Fortunately, the Great Condor and Sasaki Kotoko were surrounded by a group of girls on the subway. If they met a crazy guy, those two people would really lose a lot.
Moreover, due to the age of the Great Condor, there are not many activities for the two of them to play. They have enjoyed riding the cable car, eating marshmallows, and relatively high-security facilities such as space flying saucers. Few, and then there are some shops built in Disneyland, Disney peripherals and the like. But they were just shopping and didn't really buy anything.
"eagle."
"Um?"
"Do you still remember when our relationship started to get better?" Sasaki Kotoko ate the marshmallows in her hands, sat in a small pavilion with the big condor, and looked at the people coming and going in front of her.
"It should be the time we went shopping for clothes together, right?"
"I think so too." Sasaki Kotoko smiled.
"Ah, you went home to celebrate your birthday last time. Remember to make up for it next time." The Great Condor pointed at her.
"I know, I know, you've said it several times." Sasaki Kotoko smiled helplessly.
Afterwards, things calmed down between the two.
"I haven't had many friends since I was a child, and I don't like to socialize too much with others. It's too troublesome." After a while, Sasaki Kotoko seemed to be talking to herself.
The Great Condor listened and said nothing.
"So I fell in love with anime, and I fell in love with Natsu, Naruto, Eric, Gintoki..." Kotoko Sasaki said, her right hand constantly twisting around the marshmallow stick, but she didn't take a bite. bite.
"I also envy the bond between the protagonists and their companions, the kind of relationship that becomes stronger after experiencing a lot together." Sasaki Kotoko said, turning her head to look directly at the Great Condor, and continued: "But, I I know I'm not the protagonist, but even if I'm a supporting role, I still want to catch it. Even if it's just to help you share the burden..."
After saying that, Sasaki Kotoko blushed and quickly looked away, "What else should I say..." She murmured to herself in a low voice.
"Thank you, Kotoko." The Great Condor looked at Kotoko Sasaki who turned his head and said seriously. "Thanks."
Sasaki Kotoko has already said that for this reason, the Great Condor will be a fool if he doesn't understand. Why did he come to the amusement park today? Ever since he called the Great Condor in the morning, I guess Sasaki Kotoko has already planned it. Today is just a simple day. I came here to change my mood with the Great Condor.
Sasaki Kotoko is sometimes taciturn and even a bit dull, but she is not stupid. Perhaps it can be said that people like her have more delicate minds.
When the Great Condor was selected as the new CENTER of the Seven Singles, Kotoko Sasaki herself was actually relieved. She knew her character well and knew that she was not one to stand in the center of the spotlight. She was also really happy for the Great Condor.
As an anime geek, she naturally likes to discuss her favorite characters and plots with others online, and 2CH is also a place she often goes to. However, what she didn't expect was that she came across topics about her own group.
The protagonists are the Great Condor and Hori Mina from the New Seven Singles Center.
Those words were irritating words that even Kotoko Sasaki, a girl, couldn't stand. Public opinion was basically one-sided, with everyone scolding the Great Condor and Horina.
So today, she probably came to see the Great Condor on an impromptu whim, thinking that as a friend, she might be able to do something for her. But she had no similar experience of comforting people before, so she simply went for the goal of making the Great Condor happy and chose an amusement park.
"Thank you." The Great Condor added.
There was silence between the two for a while, but it was awkward silence at times.
“When you are unhappy, I will be with you, when you cry, I will be with you, when you are in a bad mood, I will be with you, when you don’t want to go home, I will be with you, no matter what, I will be with you. "Kotoko Sasaki lowered her head and said in a voice that only two people could hear.
The Great Condor pursed his lips and looked at Sasaki Kotoko with a smile. After Sasaki Kotoko finished speaking, she looked at the Great Condor and saw her looking at him.
"After all...after all, I am your friend." Sasaki Kotoko's face turned red again and she turned her head to look at the sky.
"Hahaha, hi, hi, KOTOKO~" The somewhat depressed mood of the Great Condor was mostly dissipated at this time. She rested her head on Sasaki Kotoko's lap and rubbed it slightly. In a rare act of coquettishness.
"Hey... I'm really not used to you being like this." Sasaki Kotoko said while stroking the hair of the great condor.
Friends, although not relatives, teachers and students, are people who know and understand each other well and can care and help each other.
