"Come on, don't think so much, just smile more." The Great Condor stretched out his hand, put his hands on both sides of Saito Asuka's mouth, and pulled it to the back of her head, forcing a smile. , "CENTER is not for frowning."
Saito Asuka raised his eyebrows and was not in the mood to joke with her. He was like a soulless puppet, sitting on the stool blankly.
It didn't take long for the curry they ordered to arrive.
"How was your second 46 hours?"
Instead of continuing the conversation about center, the Great Condor took the initiative to change the topic.
"That's it." Saito Asuka replied perfunctorily, "It's quite boring."
"You're not 18, so you shouldn't have to spin. Oh, by the way, you got up quite early in the morning. Oh, I want to play it again, but it's a pity."
Nogizaka did not catch up with the 46TV Great Eagle for the second time. At that time, she was filming a movie in Tochigi Prefecture. She rushed back to Tokyo to shoot for a few hours, picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons, so she simply did not go back. However, she saw in the second group group that there was a second birth plan for the 46TV project. There were many photos of the members when they were young. She had to find a way to take a look at it sometime.
Neither of them was Sayuri Inoue. They both ate very quickly, and it didn't take long for the plates to become smooth.
"The total is 1,120 yen."
At the front desk, the two were preparing to check out.
"Split it into two parts." Saito Asuka took out his wallet and prepared to pay.
"No, let's pay together." The Great Eagle directly took out a purple note of five thousand yen and placed it on the table. "It's so troublesome. Just ask me back next time."
Having said that, Saito Asuka put his wallet back into his bag.
Before leaving, the Great Condor took a free lollipop from the front desk and put it in his pocket.
"What's for sale over there?"
After leaving the restaurant, Da Shenying noticed that many people gathered in front of a store not far away.
"Let's go and have a look."
"Why..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Saito Asuka felt his hand being grabbed by something cool, and then he was dragged by the big condor and ran towards the store.
"He's a jewelry seller."
Most of the people in the store are girls, and there are some headwear, bracelets, rings and other things on display. There are many types and the workmanship is exquisite. Once you take a look, you will find many of them.
"This is beautiful."
Saito Asuka looked at the headgear at hand. It was a fluffy headband. It was light brown and looked soft.
"...It's so ugly..." The Great Condor glanced at the side and complained.
"Huh? What do you mean? What do you mean the thing I chose is ugly?"
Saito Asuka was originally holding back her anger, but the Great Condor's words directly ignited her fuse.
"The way you chose it is really ugly."
"Then you have good taste, and you like garbage!" Saito Asuka was a little excited, and his voice unconsciously rose a lot.
Fortunately, there were so many people in the store that no one noticed them.
"Yes, you are that rubbish." The Great Condor did not refute, and followed her words.
"You just..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Saito Asuka realized that there seemed to be something in what the other party said. After a moment of reflection, he realized what the Great Condor was talking about. The fuse in his heart that was originally ignited was poured with a basin of cold water and was directly extinguished. .
After finishing speaking, the Great Condor turned around to pick on the counter, reached out and picked up a headband with a pattern of flying birds, walked behind Saito Asuka, skillfully picked up her hair, tied the headband, and wrapped it around three times.
"Well, it looks good this way." The great condor patted Saito Asuka's ponytail.
Saito Asuka turned her head and reached out to touch the headband. Although she couldn't see the effect of wearing it, she could see the pattern on the headband.
"Hey, I have good eyesight." The great condor Wang Po said boastfully.
"You have really bad taste." Asuka Saito blushed, but his hand touching his headband never left his side for a moment.
"Shut up, you damn tsundere."
The Great Condor pinched Saito Asuka's cheek.
"Go to hell! I'm not a tsundere!"
Except for this small interlude, their main purpose was to have fun. They had been here for almost two hours and had done nothing except eating and shopping.
"ah!!!!!"
The two were walking in the amusement park. If there was any facility that attracted the most attention, it was undoubtedly the stimulating facilities. The screams were endless, mixed with the sound of rotating machines, and became a major 'landscape' of Fuji-Q Highland.
"Let's go play that."
Stopping, the Great Condor suddenly thought of something, looked at the railway track and said.
"Which one?"
Saito Asuka's eyes swept over those safe and gentle facilities.
"That." The big condor turned Saito Asuka's head towards the railway track, "High speed car!"
"...You go and play by yourself, I'll wait for you below." Saito Asuka refused.
"Ah? No, we came here together, why are you waiting for me down there? That's so embarrassing."
"I won't go, you have to play by yourself." Asuka Saito shook his head like a rattle.
She wouldn't even sit on this kind of thing to death. The thing that flew into the sky on it last time in Guam scared her so much.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Asuka-senpai, this little girl has only one wish in her life, can you help me realize it?"
The Great Condor cried with tears to Saito Asuka, as if riding a high-speed train was her lifelong wish, and she even squeezed out a few tears.
"No help!"
If she hadn't known the true nature of the great condor, I might have been fooled by her.
"Tsk." The Great Condor smacked his lips and wiped away the tears squeezed from the corners of his eyes, "Are you going or not?"
"Not going."
"Hey, I thought you were so mature. Generally speaking, aren't only children afraid of sitting on such things?"
To put it another way, she has a tried and tested method for Saito Asuka, and that is the provoking method. For Asuka Saito, who desperately wants to prove that she is no longer a child, this is undoubtedly a way to prove that she is on the way to becoming an adult.
"...There are also adults who don't want to sit on something like this!"
Saito Asuka was silent for a moment and made a lame excuse for himself.
"Saito, I'll give you one last chance, go or not."
If the soft one doesn't work, then use the hard one.
"No, go!" Saito Asuka said these words very seriously.
"If you don't want to go, I'll talk to you about wearing cartoon pajamas and cartoon slippers at home." The Great Condor folded his hands on his chest and said nonchalantly.
Saito Asuka's body shook and he couldn't help but tremble a little. She could tolerate the great condor's coquettishness, and she could tolerate his provocation, but this was the only thing she couldn't handle! right! No! able! Poke! out! go! If the members found out, how could she have the nerve to hang around! In the previous NOGIROOM and other shows, she always chose more mature clothes to appear on the show.
After all, she usually behaves like a little adult.
'Seeing how serious Asuka is usually, it turns out he is still a child. '
It will definitely be commented like this!
When Saito Asuka was struggling, the Great Condor raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. If he didn't reject it immediately, it was done.
How she knew this was because she had stayed at Saito Asuka's house once before. That was the first time she saw Saito Asuka dressed in the same room at night except when he was on an expedition.
"I'll go with you, why don't you go!" Saito Asuka stared angrily at the Great Condor, with tears in his eyes.
For a moment, the Great Condor felt that he was a bit vicious?
But it's a good thing to trick her into playing this high-flying car. On the one hand, it was because she really wanted to play, and on the other hand, she wanted Saito Asuka to use the stall of the high speed car to vent her emotions.
Isn’t it often seen in TV dramas that shouting loudly from the top of the mountain to the valley can relieve stress?
Mountains, the nearest mountain to them requires a few hours of driving, and they don’t have that free time. Anyway, they are shouting, shouting for mountains is shouting, and riding a roller coaster is also shouting, so why not choose the closest one?
The high-flying car is a facility similar to a roller coaster, but its biggest attraction is that the drop angle is a full 121 degrees, which is also certified by Guinness World Records.
Although this exciting facility is not very popular among girls, there are many boys who like it. Fortunately, they bought priority passes and didn't have to wait long before it was their turn.
Similar to the measures used on a roller coaster, people are firmly fixed on the seat, and the safety bar presses the two people firmly on the seat. The Great Condor even chose the last row for the two of them.
"Relax."
She herself was fine, but looking at Saito Asuka next to her, her whole body was trembling, her eyes were wandering around, and she was distracted. She patted Saito Asuka on the shoulder and comforted him.
"..."
But Asuka Saito didn't have the time. She tried hard to calm down, but she couldn't.
"Hello~"
There was a sound of machinery, and the train started to move slowly.
"ah!"
Just the sound of it starting up scared Saito Asuka to scream. Turn right after exiting the track and start climbing directly, and it is still a 90-degree climb.
"Why."
Starting to climb, the great condor touched Saito Asuka next to him with his arm.
"..." Asuka Saito closed his eyes tightly and firmly grasped the safety lever, looking like he was waiting for death.
"I'm telling you, if you want to be in the Center position, do it well and don't do it with any hesitation or uneasiness."
"What are you talking about now?"
Saito Asuka heard the great condor start talking about the center issue again and felt like crying.
"I was... well, not talking about me, but now I'm talking about you, Saito Asuka." The great condor turned his head and looked at her, staring straight at her, "When you fall down later, whatever You can yell as much as you want, let you vent, but after you get off the car, I hope you can take this summer vacation seriously and not be restrained by other people's comments."
"eagle..."
Before Saito Asuka could speak, the Great Condor stretched out his right hand, buckled Saito Asuka's left hand from the safety lever, and held his slender hand tightly in his hand.
“You become who you are becoming.”
These were the last words Asuka Saito heard before the high-flying car fell.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh~"
"Woo~"
The car plummeted from the highest point to the ground, and the angle was not a vertical 90 degrees, but a steeper 121 degrees. They didn't even scream, the chairs fell down with them in an instant, and the safety lever caught the shoulder. It hurts, but there is no time to care.
One screamed out of fear, and the other screamed excitedly and happily.
The whole process didn't last for a few seconds. After coming down from the steepest part, the rest was almost like a roller coaster. The excitement was not that high, but Saito Asuka beside him kept screaming.
Anyway, I don’t know if Asuka Saito has finished venting his anger. The ears of the great condor are almost gone.
Finally, the car stopped at the starting point, the safety lever was released, and everyone got out of the car. The Great Condor stood up and jumped out of the car lightly.
"Pull...pull me..."
Asuka Saito tried several times but failed to stand up. His legs were weak and he rushed to the Great Condor for help.
He pulled her out and helped her sit on a chair used for queuing.
"It's not that bad, you can't even walk?" As she said that, the Great Condor took out a lollipop that she had just bought for free in the restaurant, tore it open and stuffed it into her mouth. Then she squatted down and took out the lollipop from her pocket. Looking up and down at Saito Asuka who lowered his head, "How are you doing?"
Saito Asuka was gasping for air on the chair. She just shouted patronizingly on it. She didn't think about anything. She vented all her dissatisfaction, fear, frustration, and insecurity in her mouth. She calmed down now. Finally, my eyes suddenly became sore, and a wave of grievance filled my heart.
"Woo..."
Saito Asuka could no longer hold back, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he skipped the step of forming a line, and the tears flowed down as if he wanted no money.
No matter how happy I am on the surface, I am hysterical and terrifying secretly.
Everyone in front of the camera asked the same question, how did it feel to wait for the CENTER for the first time? She didn't know how to answer. Are you happy? Maybe, does she deserve it? Yes, at least she thought it was when it was announced.
But then various comments on the Internet began to make her doubt herself, whether she was worthy of being this CENTER, or whether only Ikoma Rina, Nishino Nanase, Shiraishi Mai, and Ocondor could be this CENTER.
That's why she smiled and told the camera that maybe fans thought she wasn't suitable for Xia Dan.
'Is Saito Asuka not suitable for summer singles? '
An unintentional question was the seedling that defeated her self-confidence. The seedling grew bigger and bigger, and turned into a tree. The tree grew leaves, and there was no sunlight under the shade of the tree.
But now, the tree has fallen, and it was the big condor that chopped it down.
Xia Dan, she is the center, why should she listen to her fans? Yes, why? She suddenly felt that she was so stupid before.
She is who she is, Asuka Saito, a member of Nogizaka, and the CENTER of this single. This is a fact that no one can change.
These tears, just like all the negative emotions she had before, came out of her eyes.
"Cry, it will feel better if you cry."
The great condor stood up and stroked her head. Saito Asuka hugged the big condor's waist and buried his whole head in front of the big condor's belly.
She cried very loudly, but because her face was buried in the clothes of the great condor, her cry was much weakened.
At this time, Saito Asuka finally acted like a child, crying when he was wronged instead of holding it in.
After a while, Saito Asuka's whimpering gradually disappeared, and the Great Condor felt that his clothes were wet with Saito Asuka's tears.
"alright."
She patted Saito Asuka on the head, signaling for her to let go. She crouched down, and like Saito Asuka, the originally pretty little beauty was now crying into tears, but the current tearful one looked much more relaxed than the previous little beauty.
The Great Condor stretched out his hand and wiped away all the tears on Saito Asuka's face.
"Shame, maybe it only took them a few minutes to read an entertainment news about you before they rejected you, but it took me several years to understand you and trust you, and I will always accompany you. Go down, not just me, but everyone else too. So, you have to keep working hard."
She put a hand on Saito Asuka's shoulder and said firmly.
"Uh...um..."
Saito Asuka, who was still sobbing, nodded. Although she didn't say anything, it could be seen from her eyes that her mentality had changed a lot.
"Humph." The great condor smiled and said, "Open your mouth."
"ah..."
The Great Condor pinched the plastic stick of the lollipop in his mouth, pulled it out of his mouth, and then stuffed it into Saito Asuka's mouth.
"Sweet?"
"sweet..."
Saito Asuka was a little embarrassed by the big condor's move, but he still nodded and wrapped the candy ball with his little tongue.
And this time, Saito Asuka no longer resisted the Great Condor calling her.
