Summer is always short and full of heat. For Oda, the fourth summer after joining Nogizaka will soon pass. Because for the members of Nogizaka, summer is usually busy.
Unlike ordinary students, according to Nogizaka tradition, there will definitely be a summer-style single released in the summer. Coupled with the "Manatsu National Tour" being held, the members will have to travel to various work places and even
In various cities, you cannot enjoy the joy brought by vacation.
Maybe this is why Oda was so surprised when she received an invitation from Akimoto to attend the fireworks display. Because of her nerdy personality, she had hardly participated in extremely crowded events like fireworks displays in her hometown in Nagoya, so when she came to Tokyo
In the future, I won’t have the opportunity to participate due to work reasons, and although I have a good relationship with many members, I am not the first person to be invited: for example, Shiraishi will go to Matsumura first, Ikuta will go to Hikaka first, and Xiao
Asuka will go to Hashimoto first...
"Why did you come to invite me?" Oda asked Akimoto on the phone, and then succeeded in getting a real reply from Akimoto - first, Ikuta asked the agent about her schedule and then forcibly booked the fireworks from her.
She was also very happy to attend the conference, so she went to buy a yukata. It turned out that Ikuta seemed to have made an appointment with Hika to attend together, so she just gave Akimoto to her. The most important thing is that Ikuta didn't seem to think that this was the case at all.
It was a bad thing. I directly sent a message to Akimoto saying that I had something to do that night and took it as a notification. In the end, it was Hinaka who learned the truth from Ikuta and took the initiative to apologize to Akimoto.
.
Hearing this, Oda admired Akimoto's good temper very much. If it were him, he would probably take a taxi and press Ikuta's head to let her go with him.
"Sure enough, I was right when I said that I was a fat tiger teacher Ikuta." Oda complained in his heart, "Ikku-chan's behavior is that of a proper fat tiger, and Manatsu is probably the little husband who was bullied...
.It’s just that my husband’s head is not that big.”
"In short, everything is ready, but we are missing a companion." Akimoto's voice came over the phone, "I even bought Ikuta's yukata in advance, because I felt that the two of them were wearing the same clothes.
The set looks better.”
"I remember, Koichi, your height and figure are about the same as Ichiku-chan, right?" Akimoto seemed to recall something, and added, "I bought a set that will be looser on the chest.
Just right for you, Xiaoshi."
"...Okay." Oda thought about Ikuta's size, and then looked down at his own size. Although he was not as well developed as Ikuta, at least he was only slightly inferior. In terms of height, Oda was only slightly taller.
A few centimeters higher should not be a problem for a loose yukata, so he nodded and agreed to Akimoto's invitation.
But she soon regretted it.
Because there were so many people, it was really uncomfortable to wear clogs.
Oda tried to take two steps quickly, but found that he almost dropped his shoes, and his toes were a little painful. In addition, the tight hem of the yukata also made Oda, who usually had a large step, feel like he was being quilted.
The feeling of being trapped.
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have agreed to wear a kimono, I would have just come here in a T-shirt." Oda complained in his mind, turning to look at Akimoto, who was standing next to him, smiling and moving flexibly.
"Manatsu, did you often wear kimono and geta before?" Oda asked.
"Hey, it's okay." Qiu Yuan touched his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully, "Don't wearing clogs have the same feeling as wearing high heels? You shouldn't have been used to it a long time ago."
"No, no, no." Oda shook her head. It took her a long time to get used to high heels. Perhaps because it took a long time to adapt, the difference between the two was extremely obvious.
"But I used to attend summer festivals and fireworks displays with my friends every summer, so I may have gotten used to it." Akimoto added, "Although it's a bit hard and cool, but overall it's still not there.
It’s just not acceptable.”
"Every year?" Oda pursed his lips and pointed at the sea of countless people in front of him, "Are there so many people every year?"
"No." Qiu Yuan spread his hands.
"Then why were there so many people when we came this time?"
"No, no, no." Qiu Yuan shook his head, "There are already relatively few people this time."
"Huh?" Oda once again confirmed in his mind that he would not participate in the fireworks display again.
"That's right." Qiu Yuan said matter-of-factly, "It's already the end of summer. If there were a fireworks display in early August, the number of people would probably be twice as many as here."
"Isn't this just looking at other people's heads?" Oda asked reasonably, "Some so-called stalls are not fun at all."
"It's okay, because I knew there would be a lot of people, so the venue would be larger and there would be more booths." Speaking of this, Qiu Yuan is very familiar with it. Because she grew up in a girls' school, she and her female friends
I don’t know how many times I have participated in such activities. “Small market, don’t you think there is only one goldfish fishing shop in the entire venue? If so, how many nets will the store have to prepare?”
"..." Oda scratched his head and pretended that he didn't think this was the case.
"Oichi, you haven't...never participated in a fireworks display, have you?" Akimoto noticed something was wrong in Oda's expression and said a little cautiously.
"I went there when I was a child." Oda pursed his dry lips, "There are still photos at home, of me sitting on my father's neck, but at that time the food on the stall was..."
"At that time, Xiaoshi, you didn't even go to kindergarten." Qiu Yuan caught the blind spot and complained accurately.
"Just... I don't usually participate in activities like this. There are so many people, and it's easy to get lost without someone to accompany you." Oda looked down at his feet, and some unnatural swings were divided by the central strap of the clogs.
Thumbs up.
"Then... I accepted Oichi's first time." Akimoto also noticed Oda's embarrassment, grabbed Oda's arm, and led her towards the venue.
"Slow down, slow down...the shoe is about to fall off, shoe!"
"It's okay, it's okay, clogs don't fall off that easily."
