For the past two days, the atmosphere in Nogizaka46's lounge has been so weird that it's suffocating.
Although everything seems so orderly: each selected member listens to music, reads books, and when something happens, everyone takes action on time, and several people will get together to discuss some topics.
But the girls inside could clearly smell the pressure in the air, like the calm before the storm.
In particular, every time Shiraishi Mai takes a break, she sits alone on the chair in the middle, holding her chin with one hand and looking forward. She is facing the door of the lounge, and every member who comes in will be
Frightened by her cold and empty eyes, his body trembled uncontrollably twice, and then he avoided her piercing sight like he was avoiding a storm.
Especially the timid members were like little chickens, trembling and afraid to speak loudly.
"Hey, Asuka, do you know what's been going on with Mai in the past two days?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Mai Shiraishi was not in a good mood, so Rina Ikoma asked Saito Asuka.
Bird's single became a TER, and her character gradually changed. On the one hand, the pressure made her grow, and on the other hand, it also made her feel the pressure of survival.
"Maybe I want to be alone for a while." Asuka Saito sat in the corner and read a novel. She already knew the C position of the next order and knew what it meant. Her mood had not been very high.
"Oh, but..." Rina Ikoma wanted to say something, but when she saw the bird retracting her gaze and moving it to the novel, she swallowed it hard.
Ikoma Rina was very worried about this matter. Of course, she had already asked Matsumura Sayuri and Ikuta Erika, and both of them said that there should be nothing for her to worry about, but how could she not be worried about this!
Sighing, she could only ask someone casually.
Walking to the other side, Ikoma Rina saw Nishino Nanase holding a mobile phone with one hand, typing quickly with the slide keys with his thumbs.
"Na-chan~" Ikoma Rina shouted.
"Huh?" Nishino Nanase responded unconsciously. He didn't raise his head until he finished typing this paragraph. Seeing that Rina Ikoma was not surprised, he asked casually, "Ikoma-chan, what's wrong?"
"Um..." Ikoma Rina sat next to her, glanced at her mobile phone, and saw who she seemed to be chatting with, "Don't you have to film a TV series recently?"
Ikoma Rina asked a casual question to set the stage.
"Let's go. There is only one day of filming left this week, and the first episode will be over soon."
Talking about this, Nishino Nanase seemed to be in a very happy mood. He put down the phone and turned to face her and said.
"Hey, that's right..."
Ikoma Rina knew that the original work of the "Cinema Shoujo" manga had a somewhat unusual style of painting, and the fact that the male protagonist was Kazuki Nishino couldn't help but make her think about another question.
Did Ikuta-chan succeed in the first place?
At the fireworks display, I asked myself to help exchange places, but then I didn't share any progress with myself. I just used it as a tool and threw it away. I burst into tears.
"Na-chan, do you know what happened to Mai-kun recently?" Rina Ikoma finally asked this question. She didn't have any expectations. After all, the relationship between Nishino Nanase and Shiraishi Mai was not that close.
"I don't know." Nishino Nanase replied simply, turning his head and looking at his phone.
"Okay, I understand." Ikoma Rina shook her head.
After Ikoma Rina left, Nishino Nanase sat up straight, stretched out, and glanced at Mai Shiraishi sitting there from the corner of his eye.
It happened that Mai Shiraishi was packing her things at the moment, and when she looked around, she also caught sight of her.
Their eyes met for an instant, and they both avoided each other.
The whole process was calm and relaxed, but only the two of them could understand the feeling.
.........
At a certain barbecue restaurant, Tian Yuxi and several members who had a good relationship with each other had a dinner date today.
It is relatively close to the third-term students' dormitories, and the food in the store is relatively affordable. It is rare for a few people to come out to have a meal together.
They chose a yakiniku restaurant because they wanted to experience Nogizaka's meat-eating tradition. After all, it was called a yakiniku version.
"Yoda-chan, what were you doing with the lines you posted before?" Yamashita Mizuki has been getting along well with Yuda Yuki these past two days, and this time she was sitting next to Yuda Yuki.
Also here this time are Umezawa Minami, Mukai Hazuki and Ozono Momo.
Ozono Momo was brought here because the room she lived in was relatively close to Yoda. After arriving, she was quite cheerful, which was rare to see.
"I was chatting with senior just now."
"Hey, you added the line so quickly?" Yamashita Mitsuki exclaimed.
"Well, Nishino-senpai said he would come here to eat barbecue later." Yoda Yuki said casually, but it made Ozono Momoko, who was sitting opposite, feel nervous.
"Yo, Yoda-chan, senior won't come here to eat with us, right?"
If they are eaten together, Dayuan Taozi will definitely not be able to eat the meat, and may even vomit something.
"No, I just sent out an invitation and she said she won't be with us. She just came to meet everyone." Yu Tian Youxi's words made the others relax. After all, dining with seniors must be very stressful.
Only Yamashita Mitsuki was amazed: the junior dared to directly ask the senior to have dinner together.
In Japan, when a senior and a junior eat together, the senior basically pays for it, so the junior taking the initiative to make an appointment represents the close relationship between the two.
"The most you can do is come over and say hello later. It's okay, Momoko." Umezawa Minami patted Momoko's head. She usually did the comforting work.
So a few people started to order. This was a buffet-style barbecue. The appetites of some of them were not very high. In fact, eating at the buffet was a bit of a disadvantage.
After a while, the meat was served, and Umezawa Minami and Yamashita Mitsuki were the most mature ones here. The two of them helped several people grill the meat. Everyone talked and laughed, and began to think about their future life in the group.
Yoda Yuki put the phone aside and after eating a few pieces of meat, the line notification sounded.
"Oh, senior is here."
As she spoke, she picked up her phone and typed for a while, then put it down.
The few people around him immediately became reserved, and while they were sitting, the meat in their mouths suddenly no longer smelled good.
Two minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the box.
The sliding door was opened.
The third-generation students all looked at the door in unison, and saw seniors Nishino Nanase and Takayama Kazumi entering the door one after another, with smiles on their faces.
Everyone stood up.
"Nishino-senpai, Takayama-senpai."
Say hello.
"Nishino-san!" Yoda Yuki walked over.
"Hello Yoda-chan." Nishino Nanase waved to her, and then greeted several others.
The same is true for Gaoshan Yizhen.
It turned out to be Nishino-san and Takayama-san. Seeing the approachable appearance of the two seniors, everyone felt relaxed.
