"Click."
Close the door to the lounge. It's the same people, the same place, but the time is different. The difference in the atmosphere before and after is also very big. Except for the sound of some things being moved, there is basically no one talking in the lounge. Some people did not return to the lounge. In the corner, there were still a few people who lowered their heads and covered their faces.
The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
The second-generation students formed a small circle. The Great Condor sat next to Hori Mina, but he could only see her smooth black hair. The Great Condor wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to speak. As a second-generation student, She was the only one among the 12 members to enter the selection, and she was also a lucky god. Doesn't it seem a bit ironic to go back and comfort the others?
In order to avoid being disliked by others, the great condor kept his words in his throat and couldn't speak. He put his hand on Hori Mina's shoulder and was speechless.
"I'm fine."
Horimina put her hand on the back of the great condor, turned around and said.
"...I didn't know it would turn out like this. I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault. Ying did nothing wrong, why should you apologize?" Terada Ranyo, who had been silent for a long time, said.
"We didn't make it to the selection. It's our problem, and it's not your responsibility. Don't blame yourself so much." Kitano Rinako tried to liven up the atmosphere, with a relaxed tone, "It should be because we feel that we haven't done as well as our seniors. We It still needs some training.”
Didn’t any first-year students do well? Da Shenying disagreed. Although the selected members and UNDER members did not spend most of their time together, they did practice dance and vocal music together. Da Shenying, a member of the first generation, did not pay much attention to it, but only the second generation members Take Kitano Rinako for example. Every time she practices dance, she is definitely one of the hardest working people. After practice, her shirt feels like it has been soaked in water, and her hair is stuck together with sweat beads. If you need to clap, During dance movements, her palms are often red.
Maybe, this is also the excuse Kitano Rinako gave herself.
"Stop thinking so much about you."
With his head lowered, the Great Condor felt a warm hand touching the top of his head. Without even raising his head, he knew it was Shinuchi Mayi just by the sound.
"We have seen Weiyana and your efforts. Don't worry. Although we are not willing to give in, we are not just doing stupid things to vent our anger on you." Shinuchi Mayi knelt down and looked at the lowered Okami. The eagles touched each other and said, "If you really want to do something for us, then stay in the selection and work hard together with the eleven of us."
Nowadays, the Great Condor is the only 'hope' for the second-generation students. As long as the Great Condor is still being selected, they will still have the motivation to work hard. If even the Great Condor falls, then they will probably have no reason to continue.
"I have to do better than the first-generation students and overwhelm them!" Speaking of this, Kitano Rinako was a little excited.
"Hey, please keep your voice down!" Ito Karin quickly covered Kitano Hinako's mouth.
"what."
"The seniors are all here..."
"What's wrong? The truth I told you is, senior, if a junior can't do it to a senior, then why are you called a junior?" Kitano Hinako said this, but her voice was much softer.
"...."
After saying that, there was silence all around.
"What did I say wrong...?" Kitano Rinako saw something was not right around her and shrank back.
"No, I think such profound words can come out of your mouth." Yamazaki Reina said.
"Huh? You look down on me?"
"I don't."
"real?"
"real."
"snort..."
The Great Condor was stunned for a moment. The stupid Kitano Rinako would actually say such reasonable words, which really shocked her.
Yes, they have more room for development and more time than their predecessors. Besides, they still have seniors to help them, so why should they say that they can't do it? Thinking of this, the Great Condor felt much relieved.
"I need to go to the toilet." After saying that, the Great Condor stood up and left.
In the lounge, the side of the second-generation students became the only place with some laughter. Leaving his seat, the Great Condor walked toward the door. For some reason, his steps became much heavier, and his leather shoes clicked on the floor.
Life can be so dramatic sometimes. The guy who wanted to fish in troubled waters at the beginning is now the only one who can carry the banner.
After returning from the toilet, the Great Condor met Shiraishi Mai and Ikuta Erika in the corridor. The two were wandering around a table filled with condolences.
"Hey, are you secretly looking for something to eat without me?"
With a smile on his face again, he ran to Erika Ikuta, hooked his arm around her neck and asked.
"You weren't in the lounge just now, who knows where you went." Erika Ikuta said she would not take the blame. "Today's stuff... is a bit lacking..."
"Eagle." On the side, Mai Shiraishi stopped picking.
"Um?"
The Great Condor looked at Shiraishi Mai, who frowned slightly, as if something was bothering her.
"Um, second-generation students..."
Mai Shiraishi didn't know how to speak. She noticed in the last selection that only the Great Condor was selected. The same was true for this selection. She was afraid that the second-term students might have any emotions or thoughts, but she was not familiar with the second-term students, so she only talked to them. The Great Condor was close to her, so she couldn't say this in front of the other second-generation students. Even if she had a one-on-one chat with the Great Condor, she was hesitant.
Mai Shiraishi is a first-year student, but she is also a member of Nogizaka. The first-generation students are members of Nogizaka, and so are the second-generation students.
"Ah, they, they are OK." It would be too cumbersome to explain, "I will take care of them together."
The Great Condor clenched his fist and lightly hammered her left chest, as if to say that the second-generation student's will was stored in her heart.
Shiraishi Mai nodded. Since the Great Condor said so, she knew it in her heart and her brows relaxed.
"This, this! Meat roll! It must be delicious!"
At this time, Erika Ikuta's eyes shone, pointing at the burrito covered with plastic wrap not far away and shouting.
"Oh, get one for me, Erika, I'm a little hungry too." The Great Eagle saw that Erika Ikuta's hand had already reached it, so he didn't move.
"Do you want something like Mai?" Erika Ikuta asked.
"I won't. I'll just eat some fruit."
Doesn't she want to eat? No, she wanted to eat, she really wanted to eat, but she couldn't help it. She had modeling work in the next few days, and she had to strictly maintain her figure.
The Great Condor and Erika Ikuta each held a meat roll, Mai Shiraishi took an apple, and the three of them returned to the lounge.
When I opened the plastic wrap, a strong aroma of meat hit my nostrils, and my stomach rumbled.
"Snapped!"
"can not eat!"
The moment he opened his small mouth and was about to touch the meat roll, the Great Condor felt a gust of wind blowing past his face. When he recovered, he found that there was nothing in his hand. The meat roll that was originally in his hand was lying on the table sadly. .
It wasn't loud, but in such a loud place in the lounge, it was enough to attract everyone's attention.
"What, what's wrong? The scroll is poisonous?" The Great Condor didn't know why.
"The meat rolls sold in this store...have no soul!!!" Erika Ikuta shouted sadly, not knowing that she thought she had been deceived. "There is no mustard sauce in it!!! It's empty!" Shell!!!”
"..."
The Great Condor was stunned for a while, then blinked, slowly raised the corners of his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and with a 'kind' face, picked up the meat roll that Erika Ikuta had placed on the table, and held Erika Ikuta's chin with his left hand. , forcefully opened her mouth, and stuffed the meat roll into her mouth at once. No matter how she cried out, the big condor didn't let go.
"As an idol, how can you throw away food? Do you know that some children can't even afford meat?"
She smiled and forced Erika Ikuta to eat her meat rolls. The Great Condor couldn't stand this kind of waste of food.
"I was wrong...I don't dare anymore..."
Erika Ikuta mumbled weakly with her mouth full.
"Uh? What did you say? I didn't hear it clearly."
Frowning, the Great Condor looked like a delinquent girl questioning an innocent female student.
"I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!"
"You have to eat it all, do you hear me?"
"Um!!!"
Taking the meat roll from the big condor, Erika Ikuta ate it one bite at a time, fearing that she would be scolded by the big condor if she missed something, so she didn't look like a senior.
"puff..."
I don’t know who it was, but after seeing Erika Ikuta dying and dying, she burst out laughing unkindly. Just like an infectious disease, one, two, and soon, there were more laughter in the lounge than just after she died. The heavy look now looks more like the lounge in Nogizaka.
