Haneda Airport.
The Banana Man duo, the seven from Nogizaka and the accompanying staff were already waiting in the waiting area. After rounds of screening, in addition to the originally selected Erika Ikuta, Rina Ikoma, and Kazumi Takayama, the final seven also included Nami Hashimoto, Sayuri Matsumura, Ogami Eagle, and Nanase Nishino.
"Going to the duty-free shop?"
"Okay, let's go!"
At Rina Ikoma's suggestion, seven girls wearing masks and sunglasses walked toward the duty-free area.
"You guys should be more restrained later." Nana Hashimoto, the second eldest among the seven, reminded several young girls not to spend impulsively.
As for the first eldest? Hashimoto Nanami didn't think that 1992 person would be very mature.
"Look, look, this is so cute!" Sayuri Matsumura squatted in front of a premium bear toy and looked at it with bright eyes.
"How much?" Nishino Nanase was usually in power-saving mode, but when he saw so many high-quality furnishings, he became interested and planned to buy a few to put at home. "It's so cheap, buy it!"
"Let me tell you... did you listen to me..." Hashimoto Nana had a headache. "You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, young man."
Nana Hashimoto shook her head. Looking at the big condor following her, she was still a little relieved.
"Eagle, have you been to China before?"
"I think I went there once with my mother when I was a child, three or four years old? The memory is a bit blurry." The Great Condor thought for a while and said.
"Yeah... China, I haven't been to it yet."
"In a sense, I haven't been there."
"Where is Auntie from?" Hashimoto Nanami asked.
"From Guangdong, from Guangzhou?" The Great Condor said uncertainly, "Probably."
"Hey~ I heard that like Hong Kong, Cantonese is spoken?"
"um, yes."
"Then you can speak four languages?" Hashimoto Nana was a little surprised. Originally, the great condor was already proficient in three languages.
"Well, that's not the case. I still don't know Cantonese." Da Shenying smiled and said, "It feels like it's a completely different language than Mandarin. It's impossible to learn."
"Nanamin! This perfume smells great. Would you like to come over and smell it?"
While the two were talking, Sayuri Matsumura greeted her from a distance.
"Let's go and have a look." Hashimoto Nanami also didn't forget to call the big condor next to her.
"Hi."
After being swept away by seven people, even though Hashimoto Nanami said she should exercise restraint, women can't help but slap themselves in the face. Hashimoto Nanami finally bought a bottle of perfume and a tube of lipstick.
Under the instigation of others, the Great Condor also bought a bottle of the same perfume as Hashimoto Nanami.
'Women, you should dress yourself up when necessary. '
When the Great Condor asked Nana Hashimoto, this is what she answered.
"Hey, it's time to get on the plane."
Just when everyone was studying which perfume smells better, Yuki Himura, who was waiting in the waiting area, came over and saw that they were still gathering together to discuss perfume, and couldn't help but remind them.
"Ah, hi!" Others looked a little flustered when they saw Himura Yuki coming to them. After all, this was a big shot.
"Eh? Was there a prompt on the broadcast just now?" Erika Ikuta had some questions.
"It seems like... I said it once, I heard about Macau or something."
"Ah, that's okay."
After taking the tickets, Da Shenying and others picked up their backpacks, passports and tickets, and lined up to board the plane.
The flight takes off at 11:45 a.m. on February 13th. Due to the tight schedule in Nogizaka recently, including the production of eight singles and the second anniversary concert, this trip to Macau only lasts for one and a half days, and I have to hurry up after the bungee jumping. Rush back.
"Ding~"
'Bon Voyage! (＾－＾)V'
The Great Condor took out his cell phone and saw a message from Kotoko Sasaki. The great condor smiled and replied 'Thanks♪(･ω･)ﾉ'
Afterwards, several more messages were sent, including Shinuchi Mayi, Terada Ranyo, Kitano Hinako and others, and Saito Asuka also sent messages.
After replying one by one, it was almost time for the plane to take off, and she turned off her phone.
"Taka, I remember you said you came to Nogizaka because it's easier to make money, right?"
Suddenly, when the great Condor was choosing a movie in her seat, Nana Hashimoto, who was sitting next to her, said something out of nowhere.
"Uh, hi..." The Great Condor was a little confused. Hashimoto Nanami had asked him before, but for some reason, he suddenly asked again today.
The Great Condor retracted his hand that was still touching the screen, and sat obediently in his seat, waiting for Hashimoto Nanami's next words.
"Is it still the case now?" Hashimoto Nana turned her head and looked at the Great Condor.
Nana Hashimoto was next to the window, and the Great Condor was sitting on the side near the aisle. When she looked at Nana Hashimoto, the sunlight outside peeked through the window and hit behind Nana Hashimoto, which was a bit dazzling.
"Hi..." the great condor said a little guilty.
"I was just like you when I came to Nogizaka to make money. It really solved most of my worries in the early days. This is indeed much faster than making money working part-time." Hashimoto Nanami stared at the big condor and said , said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
"But later, they changed me." Although Hashimoto Nanami was still looking in the direction of the Great Condor, her eyes were indeed focused on Erika Ikuta, Rina Ikoma and others who were fighting behind the Great Condor. "Slowly, I feel that I am a member of Nogizaka first, and then I work for money. Do you understand?"
The Great Condor listened carefully.
"I don't know if you understand what I mean." Hashimoto Nanami looked at the eyes of the great condor again. "It's okay. Even if you don't understand it now, you will understand it in the future. The bond between the members is more important."
Nana Hashimoto put a pillow behind her waist, adjusted her posture, and turned her attention to the video in front of her.
"Everyone's purpose of becoming an idol is different. After all, those like us are a very small group. You have very good resources now, CENTER, God of Fortune, but I can still see that you are a little confused, right?"
"Hi."
The Great Condor thought for a while and realized that this was indeed the case during the selection meeting for the second-generation students. Everyone was asked the question 'Why do you want to be an idol?' Except for the Great Condor, almost everyone else does it because they love this profession.
What do you love? Maybe it was the moment when fans cheered me on stage, or maybe it was appearing on major shows to increase my popularity.
But no matter what, they are all members of Nogizaka. Even if it is for her own goals, she will work hard with other members in the group.
The conditions of the Great Condor are very good, he is beautiful and has a good personality, but he just doesn't have the heart to work hard, or in other words, he doesn't have the consciousness of being a member of Nogizaka, and he mostly does things with money. This will inevitably create a gap among the members who have worked hard but still stay in the UNDER group.
"Working hard with other people is the youth that young people should have." Hashimoto Nanami said, put on the headphones, looked back at the Great Condor, and patted her shoulder.
