On July 3, the six singles "Girls' Rules" were released. Before and after the release date, Shiraishi, who is the center, took the members to promote everywhere, including radio stations and audio magazines. This time, he stepped down from the position of center. Although his work was due to the increase in the group's popularity,

It was much better before, but my mentality is much better. There is no need to worry about failing to live up to the expectations of the members. Now Shiraishi is in the front, and Wu Geng just needs to work hard as a supporting role.

In fact, the sales volume of the fourth and fifth orders was good, but there were still some complaints on the Internet about the failure of the fifth and sixth orders. Many people thought that the C position of the fifth order could be re-elected once or twice, but they did not expect that they would be replaced by Shiraishi the third time.

.However, these remarks are just isolated phenomena.

Wu Geng and Shiraishi have a good relationship. They were photographed playing in a baseball stadium before, with Hashimoto acting as the referee. Although Shiraishi was forced to pull him out for a "revenge battle", at least the other party treated Wu Geng to a treat.

It's good to show that you find it troublesome.

However, seeing her hesitant to speak after the game, she was probably worried about how she would feel about being replaced by Wu Zeng. Wu Zeng only noticed it after being reminded by Hashimoto, and couldn't help laughing on the spot. She thought the members knew something about her tired temperament.

, I didn’t expect Shiraishi to have such a delicate side.

This is not a big misunderstanding, just let it go. Wu Geng really wishes that Shiraishi could do it a few more times, or it could be done by someone else. In short, she doesn't have much expectations for this position.

After that, it was time to prepare and practice for the national tour. For ten consecutive days, they held concerts in five cities. The scale was quite large and it was the first time for the group since their debut.

It was exciting, but the foreseeable fatigue also made Wu Geng very sad.

As expected, there was little free time during the ten-day tour. Wu Geng took every opportunity to go back to the hotel to rest, or to close her eyes and relax in the preparation room. On the contrary, she admired Ikoma for having the extra energy to force other members to squeeze out some personal time.

When I went out for a stroll, I was discovered by Nanxiang and was scolded twice because I came back too late.

Tour schedules are so tight that I often just arrive in a city, put down my luggage and make some simple repairs, then go to the venue to rehearse in advance to get used to it. I have some free time in the morning the next day, and most of the time I fall asleep at 5pm and am too lazy to eat breakfast. I continue rehearsing in the afternoon and live in the evening.

After that, we rested in the hotel and rushed to the next city before dawn the next day. It went on and on like this, almost driving us crazy during the fifth watch.

No matter how busy she was at work in the past, she could always take a break to lie down and fall asleep. She even developed the magical skill of falling asleep while sitting on a chair or leaning against a wall. There were many students among the members, but unfortunately there were only a few who succeeded.

Although she was tired from talking at the fifth watch, she performed very hard on the stage. The most refreshing moment for her as an idol was when she stood on the stage in front of thousands of viewers. She seemed to have endless power in her body.

The same goes for singing, dancing, or acting as a temporary guest to boost the atmosphere of the whole place. Although the costume changes backstage are hectic, it is also very interesting.

The excitement generated by the live show often lasts until the audience leaves. Backstage, he talks to the camera about the most touching part of the show. The excitement on his face has not dissipated. The staff joked that he has rarely seen such excitement in the fifth watch.

And then?

Then she returned to the hotel, her enthusiasm had basically burned out, and she lay on the bed in a large font. A sense of emptiness came over her, and she turned into a salted fish. She thought about the future, the future, herself who wasted her time, and

I didn't do any of the homework assigned by the school, and I suddenly felt that my future life would be bleak.

At this time, Sakurai was wearing a loose big T-shirt after taking a bath, wiping her hair with a towel as she walked out of the bathroom. Sakurai, who had just come out of the bath, did not feel like a loser who was teased by the members.

There was a hint of charm captured in his expression.

Hotel accommodation and personnel are randomly assigned by the staff, mainly because the relationships within the group are complicated, and it is inefficient for members to decide who to live with.

Sakurai sat on the bed and carefully combed her semi-dried hair with her fingers. She noticed that she was looking at her at five o'clock, "Won't Shiya-chan go wash it?" she asked.

It was really uncomfortable to feel sticky on her body. She struggled to get up and walked to the bathroom at five o'clock. Before going in, she had a thought and turned back to Sakurai who was still arranging her hair and said: "Captain, don't peek."

Sakurai was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react. He became a little angry and said, "I told you I'm not a lesbian!"

This time, the wasteful and exhausting temperament is revealed.

"Who knows." Wu Geng muttered. Then he ignored the frantic captain behind him and went directly into the bathroom.

It turned out that the night was uneventful, but at five o'clock, I still didn't let down my guard. Maybe the captain was playing hard to get, so it's always better to be cautious.

Different from the attitude of being cautious and sailing the ship for ten thousand years at the fifth watch, the Kitano children in the second period are completely different from this.

A long time has passed since the second-generation dormitory. During this period, due to training and future development, the members who lived in the countryside moved to Tokyo one after another, and some even changed schools.

Naturally, training does not happen overnight. Dance, music, and these are not things that can be greatly improved in a short period of time. After months and years, there are still members in Nogizaka who are not good at it, but we must always work hard at this stage.

Good foundation.

The training of second-generation students is proceeding in an orderly manner, and they have recently been able to participate in Nogizaka activities as trainees. There were several second-generation students accompanying them at the Tokyo station of this national tour. Although they were all in the background, they were still ahead of schedule.

Feel the live atmosphere.

Kitano had exchanged contact information with Wu Geng a month or two ago, and the two had chatted privately several times. When they came backstage this time, Wu Geng's senior was longer than Wu Geng's senior, and they circled around Wu Geng.

, Fortunately, there is still a lot of time before the live starts, so it is not an intrusion.

Xiao Asuka went to talk to Suzuki Ayone among the second-term students, and she still remembered this second-term bird push.

As for Suzuki, because of the awkward interactions with Xiao Asuka several times before, he has been frantically updating Asuka's blog and participating in several episodes of the series during this period, and now he is really developing towards a bird promotion.

The remaining second-phase members stood there. They were not familiar with the first-phase seniors like Kitano and Suzuki, and they were too embarrassed to talk to each other rashly. At this time, it was up to the captain to take action and reduce the second phase with his unique good-for-nothing temperament.

vigilance, so as to achieve friendly coexistence.

——

The sound of music and cheers were intertwined, the girls were jumping on the stage, and the colorful lights in the auditorium were undulating like ocean waves.

The second-term students stood in the aisle on the left side of the stage and saw the dancing figures of the first-term seniors. To a certain extent, this was also a precious special seat.

"..."

"ah?"

Weiyang Nai turned her head, and the words in her ears were covered by the loud noise close to the stage. She said loudly: "Please be louder! I can't hear you!"

Kitano had no choice but to put his hands around his mouth and face Weiyang Nai's ear: "I said! I want to go up too! Stand there!"

Weiyana looked in the direction of Kitano's finger. That was the center of the stage and the front of the team.

The place with the best scenery is also the place with the heaviest burden.

Weiyana turned around and saw Kitano's eyes shining brightly in the light.

"...There will come a day." Weiyang Nai said.

"Ah? I can't hear it!"

"There will be such a day!" Weiyang Nai said loudly.

——

But she didn't expect that day would come so soon.

However--

"No. 3, center, Horina."

It was not Kitano who stood on the center stage, but her.
Chapter completed!
