"Ha~ah~"
The girl stood upright in casual clothes, yawned widely without caring about the image, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and waited for the next instruction. Her mental state has not been very good these days. She typically doesn't sleep at night and wakes up early in the morning. A full rehearsal schedule makes her only have the opportunity to read at night, and she forgets the time every time she looks at it.
"Papa." "Gather!"
In the middle of the field, an unknown manager clapped his hands to summon them. Usually the director would call people in the rehearsal hall, but this time it was different.
"What is this for?"
"I don't know, let's go there first."
Hori Mina, who was checking the movements with her next to her, naturally took her arm and the two walked over. Others also walked over.
"Is there anyone else who hasn't come?" the female agent asked.
"Riyaxiang and Wanlihua went to the toilet."
"Oh, then wait for them for a while."
It seemed that there was something to inform everyone, so everyone just stood there and waited for the two of them to come back.
"Who did what?" The Great Condor quietly asked Hashimoto Nanami who was standing in front of her.
"Probably not."
The whole group was a little scared. Every time they were called together to announce something, nothing good happened a few times. The last time they were called like this, it seemed that they were announcing the members' Wenchun incident.
They didn't wait long before they returned to the team. Seeing everyone together, they trotted over.
"Everyone is here, and I'm going to announce two things." The female manager glanced at them, "The first thing is, well... you can move out of the dormitory after the third anniversary live, and the ban will be lifted."
"It's finally canceled..." "It's not easy, it's been months." "I can have midnight snacks."
The members were actually very happy when they heard the news, but they couldn't show it too obviously and just discussed it quietly with each other. Probably since October last year, everyone has moved into the dormitory, so it has been about four months.
The Great Condor consciously searched for Sasaki Kotoko in a circle, but the heads were next to each other, and no one could be recognized clearly at a distance.
"One more thing is..."
Before he finished speaking, the lights in the entire rehearsal venue suddenly dimmed, giving him a dim feeling. A small flame appeared in everyone's sight, getting closer from far away.
"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you...."
I don’t know who started it, but everyone started singing along, and the big condor also clapped his hands and sang. The STAFF in the distance came over holding a large piece of cake, which was colorfully decorated and seemed to have a lot of cream squeezed on it.
On February 20th, there were still two days before the official anniversary LIVE. On this day, two people in the group celebrated their birthdays, Hashimoto Nanami and Ito Marika. The members separated the two of them with a tacit understanding and stood a little to the side. The photographer who had been resisting the camera naturally would not miss this shot and followed closely behind STAFF who was carrying the birthday cake.
Every year, members who celebrate their birthdays during their anniversary or summer tour rehearsals will receive a big cake from the company, such as Nana Hashimoto, Marika Ito, Asuka Saito, Mai Shiraishi, Manatsu Akimoto, etc., but for example The Great Condor is the last person to celebrate her birthday in the year. At the end of the year when everyone goes home to celebrate the New Year, she probably can only spend it with her family.
Members' birthdays are very lively. In addition to many blessings, they can also buy delicious cakes for free.
"Hey, what are you going for?" The great eagle with quick eyes and quick hands grabbed Watanabe Miai who was walking from behind to have a taste of the cake.
"Let's go eat cake."
"You can have a rest." The Great Condor pulled her to his side. "Look, all the seniors who were born in the first batch are gone. Do you think you still have a share?"
Watanabe listened and looked at the group of first-year seniors who were sharing the cake. Needless to say, the two protagonists Hashimoto Nanami and Ito Marika. The people who took the first bite of the cake with them were Shiraishi Mai and Nishino. Nanase, Erika Ikuta and others, as well as Higuchi Hina, Wada Maya and others, were all waiting in line at the back.
It’s not nice to say this, but you can tell at a glance the level of the food chain in the Nogizaka group just by dividing the cake.
As for second-generation students...
"You can wait until the next time one of us has a birthday before eating it." The big condor comforted, "Whose birthday is the latest day?"
"Xuanyin, right? I remember she is from March."
"Well, I hope she buys a fruitcake."
"The sun hasn't set yet, wake up!"
Before Hashimoto Nana finished cutting the cake, she glanced at the Great Condor. Originally, she wanted to call the Great Condor over, but she glanced at the second-term students on her side and remained silent.
Originally, the Great Condor and Hori Mina were too special among the second-generation students, and their relationship with other second-generation students may not be that good. If they were to be special again, it would probably become more and more awkward. Thinking of this, Hashimoto Nana looked away and shared the cake with Shiraishi Mai and others.
"Hori-san, Ookami-san."
The two people who were waiting for the first-term students to finish their fun were called over by the female agent. The two of them didn't know the agent's name, so they just bowed slightly to express greetings.
"Well, it's not really a big deal. I just want to tell you that at the end of this live broadcast, it will be announced that all second-year students who have not been promoted will graduate from graduate school."
"Lan Shi and the others have become official members?" Great Condor's tone was a little excited.
"Well, it will be announced at the end of this LIVE."
"Very good!"
The Great Condor and Hori Mina looked at each other and smiled. If there was anything in the group that troubled them, it was probably the other second-generation members who had not been promoted, because the two of them had been in the selection group from the beginning, leaving them with The other second-generation students seemed a bit... unfamiliar.
"However, this is a surprise. Don't let them know it yet." The female agent made a silencing gesture.
"Yeah, we know."
Naturally, this surprise was left to them to taste. It took about two years for the others to finally become official members, and the two Great Condors were naturally happy for them.
After the female agent left, the two of them calmed down their expressions and walked to the table to see if there was any leftover cake. Watanabe, who had been unable to hold back from the beginning, was already holding a plate and opening the cake. have eaten.
"Hey, I left it for you two."
Before the two of them could check, Hashimoto Nana placed two plates of cakes on the table next to her. She didn’t know who cut them. The cakes originally looked good, but now they looked like someone was on the cake. As soon as I grabbed a handful, the cream was everywhere. Even the red jam part is gone.
"Thank you, Hashimoto-san." Hori Weiyo said her thanks.
"Oh, what a storm." The great condor glanced at the 'leftovers' on the other table. It seemed that these two cakes were still snatched from the tiger's mouth.
"By the way, your grades will be out soon, right?" Nana Hashimoto said, leaning on the corner of the table.
"Well, there are still... about ten days. Oh, but it's so confusing. The school I want to go to must have a very high attendance rate, unlike that kind of arts school." The Great Condor was quite troubled.
"I remember you said you wanted to be a doctor."
"Um."
"That's a difficult major. In your current situation, when you get to university..." Hashimoto Nanami seemed to be thinking about her dropping out of school last year. "Don't give up the future for the present."
"Don't worry, I know it well. I don't know how Erika can still not delay her idol activities while ensuring that she can take the exam. If it doesn't work, I'll just graduate, hahaha." The Great Condor said jokingly.
Erika Ikuta, who walked over to throw away the disposable fork and plate, heard someone calling her name, so she moved closer to the big condor, but all she heard was, "If it doesn't work out, I'll just graduate." '
Erika Ikuta's brows instantly knitted together.
The Great Condor is about to graduate.
