“It feels like the eighth order has just started and soon the ninth order will be released.”
"Very soon."
After Himura and Shitara announced the theme of this episode, they used a brief dialogue to help the members relax: "There will be various changes in Nogizaka."
"Well, Rena Matsui, I came from SKE48 to take on the role." Shitara called Matsui's name, and Matsui, who was sitting in the front row to fill the seat left vacant by Ikuta's absence, quickly stood up and nodded.
"How is it? Do you feel comfortable in Nogizaka with your concurrent role during this period?" Shitara raised the topic to Matsui.
"How should I put it? Nogizaka46 and SKE48 are two completely different teams. As a new member, I was a little unfamiliar at first, but everyone was very nice and took the initiative to chat with me, so I quickly integrated into it.
This team." Matsui stood up and spoke smoothly, completely incompatible with the "nervousness" he said to Oda before, "I will do my best to do my job."
"So this time, does Matsui-san think he can enter the selection for the ninth round?"
"When it comes to selecting a member, no matter who I am, I think everyone would want to be a member, but since I just joined Nogizaka46, I'm not sure if I have the qualifications. Of course, if I am selected, I will do my best to complete my job.
." Matsui nodded seriously and spoke without missing a beat.
The lineup for the ninth single this time is "558", and the number of Gods of Fortune in the front row has doubled from five to "Ten Gods of Fortune". The members were a little excited after hearing the news.
After all, this single lacks one Ikuta who is bound to be a lucky god, and there are so many more lucky gods, which means that the probability of other members becoming a lucky god has become much higher.
"No. 17, Kazumi Takayama." Takayama is still the conventional left back. The explanation given by the previous operation is that the role of the left back is like the foundation of the entire selection lineup, supporting the entire selection team - although Oda feels this
The explanation is just to cover up Gao Shan's point of view that "he is responsible for variety shows but not suitable for forced promotion" with a nice excuse.
"No. 11, Micai Eto."
"No. 16, Horina."
...
The names of the members were announced one by one, and most of them were members who had already entered the selection. To Oda's surprise, Zhongyuan re-entered the selection after a while, and stood at position 15 (substitute).
Poison Tomato), seeing Zhongyuan's tears, Oda couldn't help but be happy for her.
"No. 5, Oda City." After hearing his name, Oda calmly stood up from his seat and walked to Shitara and Himura.
Oda has almost figured out his position in the selection. It is basically one of the two positions at the edge of the first row. As for the guardian position, as long as Shiraishi or Hashimoto is not the ter, it will basically be like this.
For the "Lonely Brothers" who have been facing each other since the beginning, and now seeing that the only top members on the field are Shiraishi, Hashimoto and Nishino, Oda has almost guessed the approximate ranking of this order.
"Oda-san, you are a member of the front row again. Is there anything you want to say?"
"This time, Ichiku-chan is temporarily giving up the selection for this single due to academic problems." Oda saw that the other members in front did not mention Ikuta's name, and as a member who others thought had the same experience, Oda naturally felt that
I would like to say a few words for her, "Actually, before I made this decision, Ichiku-chan specifically asked me how I should make the decision."
"Indeed, Oda-san, you also applied for leave of absence due to academic reasons and played two singles." Shitara nodded.
"Yes, so Ichiku-chan came to ask for my opinion, and then I said that she should make her own decision on such an important matter." Oda hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his exact thoughts at the time, "
Now that Ikku-chan has made this decision, I have made an agreement with her to complete this single with her determination."
"We'll have to wait and see how Oda-san shows himself at the Jiudan Conference," Shitara said, "Please do your best."
"Yes, I will." Oda stood in his own position amidst the applause of the members, and when he looked at the members' table, he met Matsui's eyes.
The two of them looked at each other with some tacit understanding at the moment Oda stood still, and then smiled at the same time.
Sure enough, a few seconds later the familiar female voice said "No. 1, Reina Matsui" again.
"Oh, Matsui-san." Shitara looked surprised, "Where's the God of Fortune in the first row? Is there anything you want to say?"
"Actually, I still can't believe the news." Matsui perfectly grasped the line between surprise and calmness, "Because to Nogizaka, I am just a new member who has just arrived. How can you give me such a thing?"
I’m really grateful for the opportunity.”
"But Matsui-san has always been the top member of the front row when he was in SKE. It should be said that he can master the work of the front row faster." Shitara answered for Matsui.
"Well, I will use my experience in SKE and try my best to do my job well." Matsui nodded vigorously, then stood opposite Oda, and then smiled at Oda.
The next two guardians were Shiraishi and Hashimoto as expected by Oda.
"ter, Nishino Nanase."
After hearing his name, Nishino was different from the previous one. Instead, he stood beside Shitara and Himura calmly. He was completely different from the little crybaby a few months ago.
"Actually, at the beginning, I didn't think I could stand in the ter position continuously." Nishino began to explain his inner thoughts, "So when I was doing eight orders, I participated in the event with the idea that it would only be once."
"But when I was very uneasy, it was my fans and friends around me who supported me."
"For myself, all my activities in the Eight Dans were shown without regrets. During my time in the Eight Dans, I also did a lot of things that I didn't dare to do before, and broke through the problems that I didn't dare to ask before.
"Having said this, Nishino glanced towards Oda subconsciously, and received an encouraging look that was completely different from that of Yadan.
"So, during the period of Jiudan, I will try my best to do my job well so that I don't regret it." Nishino stared at the camera with the most determined eyes ever, wanting to thoroughly express his inner thoughts.
conveyed to the audience.
If it were the fragile Nishino Nanase who had never experienced anything before, he would probably be afraid of crying on stage.
But now Nishino Nanase will never do such a thing.
