It is undeniable that due to the exchange incident between Ikoma and Matsui, and the fact that Ikuta, who has always been at the forefront of performance, quit working on this single due to academic reasons, the sales volume of the ninth single can only barely equal that of the eighth single, and even in
The sales volume in the first week dropped a bit. Although this is excusable, for the members who have been on the upswing, they still feel a little regretful and disappointed.
However, what surprised Oda was that Matsui did not show any emotion about this achievement - according to Oda's idea, when two things happen at the same time, no matter whether there is a connection between the two, everyone will always take it as their own.
There was a forced connection between the two, and some not-so-good remarks against Matsui often appeared on some forums and message boards, such as "AKB sent here to cause trouble" and "completely inconsistent with Nogizaka style" and so on.
But... as his idol-senpai, Matsui should have taken these things very lightly. Oda thought like this and gave up the idea of caring about them.
The management of Nogizaka probably saw the members' disappointment with this single result. After holding a short meeting and feeding the members a meal of chicken soup, they gave the members a few days of short vacation to rest and rest.
"Oichi, let's go shopping." Ms. Oda, who was lying on the bed reading a book, received a message from Shiraishi. Just when Oda was about to reply "No," another message came over: "Last time
The cosmetics you bought with Xiaoshi will definitely be used up even if you save them for another three months, so if you don’t come..."
Seeing that Kuroishi-style emoticon, Oda swallowed his saliva and decided to give up on his lazy plan, instead put on his clothes as quickly as possible and rushed to the place designated by Shiraishi.
"Hey, Xiaoshi came here pretty fast." Seeing Oda running all the way and panting, Shiraishi patted Oda's shoulder with his hand and said with a smile on his face.
"Hahahaha, if you want to come shopping, Mai, tell me at least one day in advance." At least this way I will have a lot more time to find various reasons not to participate in this shopping trip.
"I just suddenly thought that you may have run out of cosmetics, Oichi, so I took you out for a walk." Shiraishi touched his head with some guilt, while Oda, who had a keen sense of smell, decisively discovered something abnormal.
"Really?" Oda raised his eyebrows, "If that's the case, Mai-yang, shouldn't you have sent me a message a day in advance to ask me to take stock of the missing cosmetics."
"Ah this..."
"So, what is the real reason?" Seeing Shiraishi being exposed by himself, Oda asked directly.
"I originally made an appointment with Sha Youlin to go shopping together the day before yesterday..." Shiraishi lowered his head and kept poking each other with the index fingers of his hands, "but this morning she told me that she had something to do and she couldn't come.
It's not convenient for me to ask her what's wrong..."
"Then you already set off and didn't want to go home, so you thought of me?"
Shiraishi nodded weakly.
"Okay..." Oda held his forehead with his hand, "But Mai, are you really Sayuma Ringe?"
"It's true!" At this point, Shiraishi's expression seemed to be moving in the direction of Heishi. "That guy Sayuri, if you have anything to do, tell me a day in advance. It's true."
"I also need you to tell me one day in advance!" Oda complained directly, causing Shiraishi, who was standing opposite him, to snap back to his original shape and lower his head.
Stop scolding, don’t call people stupid” expression.
However, Matsumura would actually let go of a pigeon like Mai? Although Oda believed that Shiraishi could not lie to him about such a trivial matter, Oda was really a little confused about the authenticity of this sentence. After all, from the beginning of the selection, Matsumura and Shiraishi
It gives people the look of a stupid couple who have been sticking together, especially Matsumura. Don't be too possessive of Shiraishi, but this time Shiraishi was released without notice, which made Oda a little worried about Matsumura.
Did something bad happen?
"Um, Mai, have you ever asked Sayurim why she can't come shopping with you?" Oda frowned a little, "Because I told you temporarily this morning that I couldn't come, and then I didn't contact you before...
"
"I thought the same way at the time, so I also called Sha Youlin." Shiraishi's tone was also worried, "But Sha Youlin talked to me normally, and I couldn't hear anything wrong.
The feeling of threat, maybe something is really going on..."
"Then...Okay." After hearing Shiraishi's words, Oda put down his worries, but this incident still left a deep impression in Oda's heart, "So, where are we going?
I’m walking around, it seems like I’ve never been here before.”
"Eh? This place is obviously only three train stops away from your home in Koichi. Haven't you been here in the three years since you came to Tokyo?" Although he knew that Oda was a homebody, Shiraishi was still shocked to know the true extent of Oda's outings.
Jump.
"You don't know, Mai-chan, that since I came to Tokyo, apart from going shopping with you, I have basically never been to other places." Oda scratched his head, "By the way, there is also the bookstore that Xiao Aanyin took me to before.
I go there often, and other things...”
"Okay." Shiraishi also swept away the haze in his heart, raised his head, took Oda's hand, and led Oda to a dazzling array of cosmetics stores. Looking at the bottles and jars, there was no difference at all.
of lipstick, Oda felt that the whole day would have been wasted like this again.
"I remember telling you, Oichi, a long time ago that as an idol you should at least learn how to dress yourself up. Even if you don't like wearing skirts, you should at least learn how to put on makeup." Shiraishi took the trial product provided by the store clerk and carefully applied it to Oda's face.
Wiping it on the ground, he complained mercilessly.
"I have learned how to put on makeup," Oda retorted, "I just haven't learned how to choose cosmetics."
"Koichi, you are the smartest person in Nogizaka, how could you not be able to learn?" Shiraishi stuck out his tongue, "It's just that you don't want to learn, Koichi."
"No, I..." Oda was about to argue, but Shiraishi stopped him with his hand.
"Shut up, you're disturbing me from doing my makeup." After hearing Shiraishi's words, Oda did not dare to continue to refute, and could only listen to Shiraishi's speech silently.
"So, Xiaoshi, if you continue like this, you will definitely not be able to do it in the future." Shiraishi clapped his hands and ended the trial.
"Don't you still look like Mai?" Oda said in a small voice, but little did he know that these words had already reached Shiraishi's ears, and at the same time, the magic of turning red was applied.
