"Xiaoichi, please give me your advice on the next work." After the recording of the series ended, Matsui came over and talked to Oda.
"Well, please give me more advice." Oda originally wanted to ask why he came to talk to him, but he turned around and saw Shiraishi and Hashimoto chatting, and Nishino, who exuded an aura of keeping away from strangers, instantly understood.
It's strange to say that according to Oda's understanding, the front row or top members are the face of the group and should be good at overall arrangements and communication with others. However, several front row members in Nogizaka are just the opposite. In private, they know each other better than the other.
Students, this kind of communication with new members can only be done by Miss Oda who is not willing to take the initiative to talk to others.
"But looking at what you said just now, Reina, it doesn't look like you were nervous at all." Oda stuck out his tongue, trying to lighten the atmosphere, and said a wisecrack, "You were lying to me this morning."
"No, I'm really nervous." Matsui smiled when he saw Oda's appearance, "But Shitara-san looks fierce, but he is actually very gentle."
"Well, Shitara-san and Himura-san are actually very nice people who are easy to talk to." Oda also nodded, "Didn't they take the initiative to talk to you after the series ended?"
"Well, they asked me if I could adapt to this situation. To be honest, I was a little flattered to be cared about by those two."
"Actually, everyone in Nogizaka is a very nice person, so Reina, you can try to strike up a conversation." Oda raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shiraishi next to him, "Mai, don't look at her cold face.
It looks like, actually after we talk about it, you will find that it is actually quite fun."
"Really? Then I'll give it a try next time." Matsui raised his index finger and shook it, "But haven't I already tried to talk to you, Xiaoichi?"
"That's right." Oda nodded in confusion, "But, actually, I'm not very good at chatting with others, so I never know what I should talk to Rena-chan and what I shouldn't talk to, and..."
"And what?"
"And actually, I don't know anything about Series 48." Oda stuck out his tongue, "I should say, I didn't know anything about idols before I passed the selection."
"Eh!" Matsui was a little surprised by Oda's revelation, because in her opinion, almost all people who join idol groups work hard to stay in the circle.
People who didn't understand the job of idols before, at least in the 48 series, couldn't see it at all, "But Xiaoichi, your performance in the group is obviously so good!"
"That may be because I usually like to read and argue with friends a lot." Oda spread his hands, "If I hadn't been an idol, I might be preparing for the University of Tokyo exam now."
"That's really..." Regarding Oda's speech, Matsui was speechless, "Then why do you want to be an idol, Oichi?"
"Actually, I didn't know that at the beginning. I just found it interesting for some reason, so I signed up for the selection, and then I was selected." Speaking of his experience participating in the selection, Oda found it funny, "After I was selected to participate in the training camp,
Before, my father didn’t even know that I participated in the audition of an idol group.”
"And after that?"
"After that, my father respected my choice and agreed to let me become an idol. Then I slowly fell in love with this job, and that's all the time until now." Oda supported his chin with his hand, looking like he was thinking, "So actually, it's really
Let me tell you why I want to become an idol. I can’t give you a specific reason. Maybe it’s because I like the group Nogizaka46 and the partners who have struggled together until now, and I want to work hard to persevere with them.
"
For Oda's reason, Matsui couldn't even give a suitable answer for a period of time: because Matsui Rena actually set her own goals when she joined SKE48; she joined the group as a back-row member from the very beginning.
At that time, her goal was to be in the top position and to be titled "actress" after graduation.
For Matsui, the identity of an idol is the best way to train herself and enter the entertainment industry. She also works hard to do her job as an idol so that she can continue to perform on stage and on TV.
In fact, when he first learned that he had been selected as a part-time candidate, Matsui's feelings were both incredible and reasonable. Matsui just regarded this arrangement as a job that should be completed and nodded in agreement -
—Everything is to achieve your goals.
Once, she thought all idols were like this, until she heard Oda's self-destructive speech.
The member in front of her, known as "Nogizaka ACE", bluntly stated that he didn't know why he wanted to become an idol and that he wanted to become an idol so that he could work hard with his friends. This idea was reflected in Matsui.
It seems a bit naive and unreasonable. But looking at Oda's eyes, you can feel that she really thinks this way in her heart.
"Obviously you are so capable in all aspects, why not..." This thought of hating iron for not being made of steel suddenly emerged in Matsui's heart, but the name of another emotion accompanying this thought was called envy.
Maybe it would be quite happy to not think so much like this? This thought appeared in Matsui's mind, but she threw it out of her mind.
"Sure enough, you are very interesting, Oichi." Matsui ended his reverie, turned his head and smiled at Oda.
"Hey, is there any?" Oda naturally didn't know what Matsui was thinking, so he just smiled and gave him a gift in return.
"Well, then, for the next work, as my partner, I would like to ask Xiaoichi for your advice." After finishing speaking, Matsui stood up and walked towards the door.
Oda originally wanted to follow Matsui and retreat, but a hand gently grabbed his shoulder. When he turned around, he found Nishino standing behind him.
"Xiaoichi, please give me your advice on the next work." Nishino stretched out his hand towards Oda, as if he wanted to say goodbye to something.
"..." Oda hesitated for a while, then shook Nishino's hand, "Well, let's work hard together."
"Then, let's take a group photo first!" Nishino took out the prepared mobile phone.
"Why?" For people like Oda who have difficulty taking photos, they can refuse any group photo if they can.
"We agreed to fill up the photo album together." Nishino's voice became a little threatening.
