Not long after, several staff members and a middle-aged man in a suit walked in. The middle-aged man was one of the judges in the final selection.
"Hello everyone, my name is Yoshio Konno, and I am responsible for the operations of Nogizaka46."
The girls in the audience put away their mobile phones and sat upright to listen carefully to the speech of the man who would accompany them through their idol career. "First of all, I want to announce something. The original final selection members Yamamoto Honoka and Yoshimoto
Ayaka has been dismissed from the Nogizaka46 group due to various contractual reasons, and member Akimoto Manatsu will temporarily stop activities due to academic reasons. So there are 34 Nogizaka46 members present now."
"In the next one-month stay, you will face various trainings in dance, singing, skills, variety shows, etc. Many people may not have the foundation in this area, so in order to lay a solid foundation, we will treat you with the strictest attitude
After all, you are the official opponents of AKB48." Konno looked around at the girls in the audience. The moment they heard about AKB48, everyone's expressions seemed to freeze for a moment, and then they showed expressions of disbelief.
Indeed, it may be too difficult for them to catch up with AKB48. Konno recalled what Yasushi Akimoto said to him once before: "AKB48's official opponent is pressure and motivation. If you can use this exposure to advance all the way,
, then this team will definitely be able to board its own slope."
"After this, you may receive ten times, a hundred times or even tens of millions of times of this confusion and pain. This pain not only comes from the tired body after training, but also from the psychological pressure and public opinion pressure during competition, etc. And you have to
What you have to do is to turn all the pressure you face into motivation to move forward. Just keep climbing and climbing, and one day you will be able to climb the slopes. Do you still remember the slogan of Nogizaka?"
"Work hard! Thank you! Smile! We are Nogizaka! Uphill Saka! 46!" Uneven shouts sounded from the audience. Although some were fast and some were slow, in the eyes of the girls, Konno could see the heat like a flame.
The same energy.
If they can continue to be so enthusiastic, these girls will definitely be able to climb the slopes. Konno couldn't help but think so.
...
After finishing this conversation, Konno left, seemingly to arrange various matters related to the camp. Afterwards, a man named Yui Nango introduced himself and began to explain the timetable during the camp to the girls: From
From morning to night, the course schedule is basically full, and there is only one day of rest a week. This is a very heavy task for a group of girls who are still in middle and high school, but it was explained by Yoshio Konno’s previous speech.
Encouraged, the girls fearlessly answered loudly, "No problem!". Nanxiang Yui nodded and turned a page in the notebook on her hand, "Next, the dormitory distribution will be announced. There will be two people in one room, and all members will follow the instructions.
The final selected number will be allocated to the dormitory.”
"No. 12 Marika Ito, No. 13 Sayuri Inoue." A small voice of "Great" came from the audience. Oda looked towards the source of the sound, and saw two round-faced girls holding hands happily.
To put it bluntly, it seems that they got to know each other during the final selection. Oda City, which has been filled with various interest classes in their spare time since childhood, has no free time to deal with friendships - in other words, they are not good at it at all.
Get to know others. You can talk to strangers freely, but you don’t know how to handle conversations with your friends or people you want to be friends with. Most of the people you know in school only know their names and never take the initiative to contact them.
Most people feel that Oda City is like a flower on a high mountain that cannot be touched, so they feel ashamed and dare not communicate with her.
"No. 20 Yumi Wakatsuki, No. 22 Reika Sakurai." When they signed up for this group, there was only a loud "Hi" from the audience. "No. 20 Yumi Wakatsuki, No. 22 Reika Sakurai." Nango.
Called again. "Ah, here we are!" At this time, a girl with curly hair stood up in a daze and responded. She seemed to be dizzy because she had just been woken up by the people around her, so she kept touching her head and giggling.
"You are Sakurai Reika, right? Did you listen carefully to what I said just now?" Nanxiang used the black pen in his hand to draw a circle on the name Sakurai Reika and said with a wry smile.
"Huh? Oh, oh, oh, I'm listening carefully." Sakurai Reika said hesitantly, but her dazed movements just now made it obvious that she had just dozed off.
"Oh, forget it. Is Yumi Wakazuki here?" Nanxiang drew a five-pointed star on the circle.
"Here!" The girl who just shouted "Hi" seriously stood up in response. The angular face has a neutral beauty, and paired with the refreshing single ponytail, it gives people an inexplicable sense of reliability.
"Take more care of Sakurai in the future, especially don't let her oversleep in the morning. Please."
"Understood!" "Hey, I won't be unable to get up..." Mixed with responses and complaints, Nango Yui continued to report the dormitory allocation list.
"If they are assigned according to numbers, then will I share a dormitory with Hika?" Thinking like this, Oda turned his head and looked at Nakagen Hika who was sitting next to him, and Hika was sitting next to him.
At the same time, he seemed to have thought of the same thing and looked at her. When their eyes met, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Oda noticed that when Hika smiled, two small dimples would appear, which made people want to poke them with their hands.
Hika noticed that when Oda smiled, he would show two cute little tiger teeth.
"No. 37 Oda City, No. 8 Erika Ikuta." Putting two members who can create a eldest lady character in the same dormitory will make them get along more harmoniously. Thinking about it this way, Nango Yui reported
This dormitory is grouped.
"Hi!" A very recognizable voice came from the front row. Oda was stunned for a moment and hurriedly shouted "Hi".
"Why are they grouped like this? Aren't they divided according to numbers?" Thinking like this, Oda turned to look at Hika - she had a somewhat disappointed look on her face. Instead, it was a girl in the front row.
, was lying on the back of the chair and blinking crazily at Oda. After realizing that Oda City was looking over, the girl waved her hands wildly, trying to express something through body language. But before Oda understood,
Her weird behavior aroused criticism from Nanxiang. "Ikuta, what are you doing?" As if he felt that his tone was too serious, he coughed and said in a slightly gentler tone, "It's still meeting time.
.I know you’re eager to meet your new roommate, but can you at least wait until the meeting is over?”
The girl named Ikuta turned around obediently and nodded.
"Okay, next group. No. 38, Nakagen Hikari, and No. 39, Saito Asuka." The one who was assigned to the group with Hikari was Saito Asuka, the youngest in the group.
"Forget it, it's still considered a neighbor who can drop by at any time." Odashi comforted himself in his heart.
...
After the meeting, Oda City turned to look at Nakagen Hikari, who was sitting next to her and was sorting out her clothes. She wanted to say something to express her regrets but didn't know how to say it. On the contrary, the girl Ikuta was sitting in the front row.
He jumped up to Oda in one breath and stretched out his right hand: "I am Erika Ikuta, 14 years old, and I am in the second year of junior high school this year! You can call me Ikuta or Iku-chan!"
"I am Oda Ichi, 14 years old. You can just call me Ichi." Oda forced a smile - girls like Erika Ikuta are the ones she has the most trouble with.
Seemingly seeing Oda's predicament, Hikari next to her intervened in time to save the embarrassing situation: "I am Hikari Nakagen, 15 years old. You can just call me Black Mold Candy. From today on, I will be a
We will be neighbors in this month, please give us your advice!"
"Ichi-chan, black mold candy..." Ikuta held her fingers and recited silently twice, "Okay, remember! We will be friends from now on!" She had an excited smile on her face.
, holding Oda's hand with one hand, and holding Hikaka with the other hand.
Oda City was not used to physical contact and wanted to pull his hand away, but was afraid of hurting the heart of Erika Ikuta's child, so he had a strange expression on his face and was being held by Ikuta. Hika, on the other hand, was all smiles.
It seems like she is holding her own sister.
At this time, a petite girl with slanted bangs was standing in the corner in the distance. She seemed to be looking around, but in fact her focus was entirely on the three people gathered together. It seemed.
I wanted to go up and talk, but I stopped for some unknown reason.
After five minutes, the girl still had not made up her mind. And because the girl's gaze was too strong, Oda also spotted the girl hiding in the corner. "She is Saito Asuka, right?" Oda thought to himself.
Looking at Saito Asuka's tangled expression, she decided to push Asuka. While Ikuta and Hika were chatting happily, Oda walked towards Asuka.
