Time passes day by day, and today is the end of December, and it is also the day before the New Year. There is no one in the Nogizaka Building. The only place with a large flow of people is the lounge where the members often come and go.
All day today, the building in Nogizaka can be said to belong to them only. In other words, they can use the cafeteria freely. Now they can finally get rid of the clutches of the cafeteria. It is not that it is not delicious, but the rice cooked in the cafeteria will be heavy with oil and water. Some of them are high in calories and have a lighter taste. Members will feel a little tired after eating them for a few days. After all, the company cafeteria is for tired employees.
Of course, there are still several agents staying in the company to accompany them.
This also led to the idea of Nogizaka members preparing an elaborate meal for themselves.
"Soba noodles...soba noodles..."
Mai Shiraishi looked at the shopping index sign on the supermarket and kept looking for options that could be related to soba noodles.
"Hey, do we have to buy soba noodles?" Saito Asuka asked, holding Nana Hashimoto's arm.
"Nian Yue Soba Nian Yue Soba, if you don't eat buckwheat noodles, how can you say you've passed this year?" Hashimoto Nanami tilted her head and looked at the little girl hugging her tightly, "And buckwheat noodles have many meanings, such as longevity, wealth, and so on. It can also drive away bad luck and bring good luck.”
Different from the past, today's Nana Hashimoto has long hair that reaches to her shoulders, or even longer. It seems that she had hair extensions because she was filming a drama.
"oh...."
"I found it, I found it, then." Sayuri Matsumura was beside Mai Shiraishi, patted her shoulder and pointed to an area.
"Oh! Let's go, don't be robbed in a moment, I don't want to knead the dough." After Shiraishi Mai finished speaking, she pushed a cart of ingredients that she had already bought.
This time I went out to buy ingredients, not everyone came together, but I picked a few people who were better at cooking to go out to buy ingredients together, such as Mai Shiraishi, Sayuri Matsumura, Mica Eto, and Nana Hashimoto, who were born in the second period. Just the Great Condor and Ito Karin.
As for the bird next to Hashimoto Nanami, it came here simply because of dependence.
"Eagle-chan, let's go."
The big condor, which was staring blankly at the billboard, was pulled back by Ito Karin's cry.
"Oh...here he comes."
"What's wrong? You've been looking listless lately." Ito Karin walked side by side with the big condor with a full pace. The few people in front of them were far away from them.
"It's nothing, I just have a little insomnia recently." The Great Condor smiled slightly.
Having said that, Ito Karin did see that there were obvious dark circles under the eyes of the Great Condor, and her face was a little haggard, which was not what a fourteen-year-old girl should look like at all. Maybe it should be fifteen.
"Pay attention to rest. Don't wear out your body at such a young age. You'll be recording the episode the day after tomorrow."
"Well, don't worry."
Ito Karin just nodded.
"Why just pick corn?"
"When it comes to barbecue, there must be roasted corn! Barbecue without roasted corn is soulless!"
The two of them were walking, but they stopped at some point in front of them. The big condor saw Sayuri Matsumura in front of them holding corn in both hands and stuffing it into the shopping cart.
This centralized management happened because of Sayuri Matsumura, but two months have passed, and the members' opinions on Sayuri Matsumura have gradually subsided, and her lively personality has emerged again.
"Barbecue?!" Shiraishi Mai looked at her in shock. She didn't say she wanted to eat barbecue when she came out. "Wait, we don't have a barbecue plate, do we?"
"I have it, in the dormitory."
"What about the smoke alarms in the room if we do that?"
"Alarm? Seal it with transparent tape!"
"..."
"Believe me, they will definitely support it. Na? Misa."
"I don't care." Micai Eto maintained a neutral stance.
"Look, Misa said it all."
"She didn't say she agreed..."
Several people were noisy in front, and two people witnessed all this from behind.
"Well, Shiraishi-san and Matsumura-san have a really good relationship," Ito Karin said.
"Yeah." The Great Condor looked at Sayuri Matsumura who kept begging Mai Shiraishi for barbecue. "The relationship is really good."
It is said that the friendship between Sayuri Matsumura and Mai Shiraishi began at a tram stop. Looking at the two people in front of him, the Great Condor couldn't help but go back to the day he returned to the dormitory with Saito Asuka a few days ago.
"So, we still have to buy steak, barbecued pork, sausage..." Seeing Shiraishi Mai agreed, Matsumura Sayuri thought about the idea of meat again.
"That's almost it."
It wasn't long before I went out to do some shopping. After all, I just wanted to buy some ingredients.
In the evening, Shiraishi Mai and others made a sumptuous dinner in the canteen kitchen specially reserved for them by the company. It was cooked by five people and eaten by 34 people. The remaining one is Ikoma Rina who is attending the red and white party tonight.
In addition to being New Year's Eve, tonight is also the Great Condor's birthday. Later in the dinner, I gave the Great Condor a small surprise. Mai Shiraishi and others had prepared a handmade cake the night before. On the cake was written It has the name of the big condor and the birthday. Although it is a bit crude, it is still delicious.
"It's started, it's started."
When everyone finished sharing the cake, Takayama Ichimi, who was sitting in the middle, picked up the remote control and tuned to the channel that was broadcasting the red and white party.
"NHK Kohaku Uta Battle", referred to as "Kohaku". It is a music program broadcast annually by the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) since 1951. It is broadcast live on NHK's TV and radio channels to the whole country of Japan and the world. It can be said that every household in Japan celebrates the New Year. One of the must-see shows.
And it was precisely because of certain things that they, who were supposed to be on TV tonight, became the audience.
However, I didn’t tune into this channel to reminisce about sadness, but to watch Ikoma Rina. As an exchange student of AKB48, Ikoma Rina is on the red and white this time.
The red and white party didn't end until 11 o'clock or almost 12 o'clock, and Rina Ikoma, one of the singers, didn't have many scenes.
stamp.
Just as they were about to change the channel and continue watching, the Great Condor was poked in the shoulder. She looked back, and Saito Asuka's ridiculously small face was right in front of her.
Saito Asuka made a gesture and pointed at the door. The Great Condor was a little confused, but still followed her out of the door.
"Click." The door to the lounge was closed.
There were only two of them in the entire corridor.
"What's wrong?" the great condor asked calmly.
The hand that Saito Asuka had been carrying just now reached to his chest. In his hand was a white gift bag.
"Happy birthday, Eagle." Asuka Saito showed his little fangs and said with a smile.
The Great Condor looked at the gift in front of him with mixed feelings in his heart. She has said before that she does not need any gifts for her birthday. Firstly, it is because she does not want to receive gifts in vain. Secondly, if she does not give back gifts of equal value in the coming year, she will feel unhappy.
But even so, Asuka Saito still bought it.
Saito Asuka was also very nervous at this time. In the previous incident, no matter how stupid she was, she realized that what she said might have hurt the Great Condor. She had always regarded the Great Condor as her good friend.
To rank them roughly, if Hashimoto Nana is the best friend who talks about everything, then the Great Condor is the next level, and then there are some first-generation students and individual second-generation students, and then others. As a second-generation student, it is just a colleague relationship.
This time she didn't listen to the Great Condor and bought a gift without permission. It was because she wanted to mend the relationship between the two of them. Saito Asuka liked the Great Condor very much. When the two first met, Da Shenying gave tutoring lessons to her who was poor in studies. Later, the two of them met at school for longer and longer, and their relationship became better and better. After they became familiar with each other, Da Shenying often teased her. .
However, the Great Condor also gave her a sense of stability, just like Hashimoto Nanami. For example, during the Aoyama Academy incident that caused her to lose the selection, the Great Condor reminded her like Hashimoto Nanami, but she I still went my own way and posted that BLOG.
The most recent thing, let's talk about the words that the Great Condor said to her that night. It was precisely because of these words that it gave her the reason, or the motivation, to persevere.
In the afternoon, she asked Nana Hashimoto what gift she wanted to buy, and she bought an exquisite hairpin.
The great condor stretched out his hands and respectfully took the gift bag from Saito Asuka's hand.
"Thank you, Saito-san."
"Eh?"
After saying that, the big condor turned around, opened the door, and got into the lounge.
