"Nishino Nanase."
Yu Kikuchi on the other side of the stage looked at the manuscript and read out the name of the eighth single CENTER.
"Ah!" Shitara Tong and Himura Yuki sighed. The others clapped.
Nishino Nanase walked forward with a solemn expression and stood next to Shitara Tong.
"How should I put it...I was never the kind of person who stood in the middle before, and I still don't have any real sense of it." Nishino Nanase kept his eyes on his feet.
"Um."
"'A person who becomes a CENTER must be someone who can bring out the best in the people around him.' I have heard people say this before. I hope I can become... such a person." Nishino Nanase had tears in his eyes and seemed to be depressed. Tears are about to burst out of his eyes in a second.
"Hey, keep working hard, please sit down."
Nishino Nanase bowed deeply. The selection and publication of this issue has come to an end.
Compared with the previous lineup, this time Kawago Hina, Nakamoto Hikaru, Eto Mica, Ito Marika and Saito Asuka were replaced. Newly joined are Kawamura Mayo, Kitano Hinako, and Higuchi Hina.
"Congratulations!"
After the recording of the program, on the way back to the lounge, the second-generation students gathered around Kitano Rinako and said some congratulatory words, and another second-generation student entered the selection.
"Thank you! Hehe." Kitano Rinako showed her iconic silly smile. Her temperament is like this whether in front of the camera or off the camera.
"Aren't you going to treat me to dinner?" the great condor said with a smirk.
"And you are asked to order a bunch of lobster and abalone?" Kitano Hinako said.
“Truffled foie gras would also work.”
"Go to hell!"
The group of second-year students followed the first-year students in front and made noise quietly.
While the Great Condor was chatting with others, Saito Asuka passed by the Great Condor on their left and walked in the opposite direction. His expression still looked very depressed.
The great eagle head turned around involuntarily following Saito Asuka's figure and kept looking at her until Saito Asuka disappeared around the corner. The Great Condor was a little concerned, but still followed the crowd back to the lounge.
"Hey, Eagle, why don't you update your blog? I see there is no blog on your website." Ito Karin asked.
"Huh? BLOG?" The Great Condor thought about this word for a while, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Yeah, just post something like a diary on Nogizaka's official website, and fans will read it." Karin Ito pulled up a member's blog on her phone and showed it to her.
"Oh! This." Seeing this page, the Great Condor suddenly realized that this was what Shizuka Sato asked her to write, but because she disliked the troublesome operation, the Great Condor never wrote it once.
"Is this necessary?" Great Condor asked.
"Um...that's not necessary." Karin Ito choked on her question.
"That doesn't matter. Let's discuss what Hinako will treat us to tonight." The Great Condor eliminated the worries in his heart and turned to look at Kitano Rinako.
"We don't have truffle foie gras or abalone and lobster. We can have some at the buffet." Kitano Rinako was also very happy. After calculating the money in her pocket, it was no problem to treat them to a buffet.
"Lan Lan, you should eat more tonight. It took a lot of effort for Hinako to bleed." The Great Condor looked at Terada Ranshi's extremely thin body and felt that he could hold the broken bones with a gentle hug.
"I don't have a big appetite..." Terada Lanshi smiled and waved his hand.
"Just eat more and expand your stomach. Look, are you craving it?"
The Great Condor put his arm around Terada Ranyo's shoulders and pointed to a certain part of Kitano Hinako's body sitting opposite him.
"I'll try my best." Terada Lanshi's eyes gleamed.
"Believe in yourself, it's okay." The Great Condor nodded. "I'm going to use the bathroom."
The Great Condor left the lounge where the chatter was noisy, walked to the toilet to relax, straightened his appearance in the mirror, washed his hands and walked back.
"I...well...don't know..."
Halfway through, when she passed a fire escape, she vaguely heard someone talking behind the door, but she couldn't hear it clearly.
People all have a desire to explore, and the big condor accidentally lay down on the fire door, ready to put its ear to the crack.
"Squeak~"
Before she could close it, the door was pushed open by her.
The Great Condor saw Saito Asuka squatting on the fire escape, still holding his cell phone in his hand, as if he was talking to someone on the phone. When he heard the door opening behind him, Saito Asuka also turned back to look at the Great Condor.
Their eyes met, and the air was a little quiet.
'What to do? What to do? What to do.....'
The Great Condor looked calm, but his heart was racing. He originally thought he could hear something interesting by eavesdropping, but it turned out that the door was unlocked and he opened it with a push. By coincidence, he ran into someone with whom he had an awkward relationship. Saito Asuka.
Since the last phone call between the two of them, Saito Asuka lost his temper, and the two have never spoken again. It's not that the Great Condor didn't want to talk to her, but that Saito Asuka seemed to be deliberately avoiding her. .
"As expected, it's here." After saying that, the Great Condor walked to Saito Asuka, smoothed his skirt, and sat next to her.
"I'll hang up first." Asuka Saito said to the phone and hung up. "How did you come."
Saito Asuka's voice was slightly crying.
"There was something wrong with you just now. I won't come to see you again." The Great Condor lied without a red face and a heartbeat.
"..." Saito Asuka was silent for a while. "Sure enough, it's because of that BLOG..."
Saito Asuka's arms are wrapped around her legs, and her chin is resting on her arms. People can't help but feel sorry for her when they see her.
"It's all over, it's okay." The Great Condor wanted to reach out and pat Saito Asuka on the shoulder, but he retracted halfway.
The two were silent for a long time, during which the only sound was Saito Asuka's sniffling, which made the Great Condor want to give her a tissue and let her blow it out.
"I'm sorry." Saito Asuka broke the silence first. "eagle."
After a pause, she called out the name of the great condor again.
"Huh..." The Great Condor seemed to sigh, but she did not continue to take up the topic, nor did she say that she accepted the apology, nor did she say that it didn't matter at all. She felt that saying this would make Saito Asuka a little ashamed.
"Hinako is inviting us to dinner tonight, shall we?"
"Huh? That's not good..." She also had some interactions with Kitano Rinako. After the second-generation students joined in, the seat next to her on the plane was replaced by Kitano Rinako.
"It's okay, it's okay, Hinako tells us every day that she likes you Asuka." The Great Condor waved his hand and said.
The two returned to the lounge together. The Great Condor saw Hashimoto Nanami wearing headphones. She slightly leaned towards Hashimoto Nanami and bowed. Hashimoto Nana was stunned for a moment, but when she saw the Great Condor With Saito Asuka, she also smiled and responded to her.
The Great Condor knows that if Hashimoto Nana hadn't enlightened Saito Asuka, with Saito Asuka's temperament, he would probably still be struggling with him now.
