It was already around 8 pm when we flew back to Tokyo. Surprisingly, although the two locations where their group distributed tissues were the farthest and earliest departure, they were the earliest to arrive. STAFF did not allow them to continue.
For the follow-up work, I told them to pay attention to their health today and then let them go home.
Because he couldn't stand the cold wind, Oda immediately got on the train and prepared to go home. He didn't feel anything bad when the tissues were handed out before, but when he relaxed completely after finishing the work, the tissue seemed to penetrate into his skin.
The stinging pain broke out. Although I had applied hot water to my hands and feet on the plane, they did not return to normal. Instead, they became a little red and swollen. I couldn't use my strength at all, and even I couldn't carry my bag.
Even if he took a step, his feet would tremble a little. Fortunately, there were not too many people on the train at that time, and Oda could still find a place to sit down.
After returning home, Oda immediately went to the bathroom and turned on the hot water faucet in the bathtub. He then took off his clothes and lay down in the bathroom. He also took his mobile phone from his bag into the bathroom, as if he wanted to soak in it for a few hours.
.
Lu Xun once said: The bathtub and the kotatsu are the only places where people can relax. As soon as Oda lay in the bathtub, he felt as if all the bones in his body had softened, and he just wanted to lie in it forever. Oda
While feeling the warmth of the hot water sweeping over my whole body, I thought about my experiences throughout the day.
In fact, Oda did not expect that so many fans would come to support, because although the group Nogizaka46 claims to be "AKB's official rival" and will "catch up with AKB in five months", anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just a group.
AKB’s mutually beneficial gimmick, most of the posts I saw on the website were not particularly optimistic about the prospects of the Nogizaka group. Oda thought that most of today’s trip would involve standing on the street and sending messages to pedestrians one by one, but
Most of the tissues were distributed to fans who came to support me. Although I was very touched,...
It’s so cold!
There will probably be similar outdoor prayer activities in the future, hoping it won't be so cold anymore. The cold tolerance of creatures like Oda City is negative.
After lying down for half an hour, Oda felt a little relieved, but Oda was still unwilling to leave the warm bathtub. After changing the hot water once, Oda wiped his hands and picked up the phone from the stool beside him, pressing
the power button.
Since he was very busy all day today, even if he had some rest time, he was mostly catching up on sleep or putting on makeup, so Oda didn't browse the messages on his phone much. After turning on his phone, many unread messages popped up in an instant.
The most recent one was from Hashimoto. There was not much to say in the message, just a few attached photos. Oda also understood it and replied with a few photos. The person on the other end seemed to be waiting with a mobile phone. Photos
As soon as it was sent out, an "ok" panda-head expression came back instantly, and Oda also replied with the same expression. Everything went without saying anything.
Oda began to look through the remaining messages. Most of the messages received were from members, especially Ikuta's series of complaints about not being able to attend the prayers and questions about the details of Oda's various prayers. For so many
Oda didn't even think about the question, and sent the six words "Let's talk about it tomorrow" in an instant. As for the message that Hiyaxiang sent to care about her physical condition today, Oda responded in more detail, briefly mentioning today's news.
Itinerary and complaining about today's weather. It didn't take long for the other person to come back and say, "Xiaoshi, please take care of your health and don't catch a cold. You are also very tired today, so take a good rest."
"Look, this is what we call caring." Zhi Tainan mentally compared Hiyaxiang and Ikuta, two people of about the same age, but their images were completely different. They didn't look like people of the same age, but they looked like each other.
yes.
Mother and daughter?
After replying "No problem, don't worry" to Hika, Oda was about to go to the forum to see what fans thought of their activities today, but at this time a new message took away her attention.
Takayama "Xiaoichi, have you returned home?"
"Is there something important?" Oda thought, and hurriedly replied, "I'm home, what's wrong?".
Takayama sent a message, "There are many things to do, let me know on the phone." Then Oda received a call from Takayama.
"Xiao Shi, what's wrong?"
"Well, Xiaoshi, something happened to Na-chan today. I think you live close to her and have a good relationship with her, so you can try to persuade her."
"What happened?"
"Well, this matter may actually not be a big deal. Maybe I'm just paranoid. But...by the way, don't tell Na-chan that I told you."
When we got along with each other on weekdays, Oda discovered that Takayama was the talkative one among the members. She could chat for a long time no matter what the matter was, but she couldn't get to the point after talking about important matters for so long. Oda could only
He opened his mouth to urge her to hurry up and say, "What on earth is going on, Xiaoshi."
"It's just... Hey, I heard the sound of water over there. Are you taking a bath? Wouldn't it be bad for me to disturb you now? Should I wait until you finish taking a bath before calling you?
By the way, it’s very cold in Hokkaido..."
"Anyway, Na-chan was rejected many times by passers-by when handing out tissues. Maybe she cried out of embarrassment? Then she wasn't in a particularly good state the whole day."
"Yes." Takayama on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then said in a very surprised tone, "Hey, Xiaoichi, how did you know?" Oda could imagine Takayama's somewhat rich personality just from the tone of this sentence.
Facial expressions and deep philtrum.
"Ikoma just sent me a message." While Gao Shan was still detailing some insignificant things, Ikoma had already sent a message, explaining clearly what happened in their group today.
.
"That's how it is. You also know that Na-chan is quite shy. Although we have comforted her, I feel like she is still a little uncomfortable. Our bus just dropped Na-chan directly downstairs in your building." Gao Shan's
Her tone suddenly became a little solemn. From what she said, it was not difficult to tell that she really valued Nishino as a friend, "So I'm leaving it to you, Na-chan."
"Leave it to me." After Oda hung up the phone, he put the phone aside and started to drain the water. He quickly cleaned his body with shampoo and shower gel. He didn't have time to blow dry his hair, so he just used a bath towel to dry his hair.
Afterwards, I wrapped myself in a towel, put on my warm pajamas and prepared to knock on the door of the house opposite.
But it was strange. There was clearly a light on in the room, but Oda knocked several times but still got no response. Perhaps because he was a little too worried about Nishino, Oda immediately returned to the room and took out Nishino and kept it with her.
The spare key is ready to open the door and go in.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw two small leather shoes that were staggering around. It looked like they were thrown off by Nishino after he came home. White shirts, knitted vests, pleated skirts and other autumn items were scattered on the sofa in the living room.
There were scattered pieces of uniforms, and the sound of running water came from the toilet.
"Is Na-chan taking a shower?" Oda realized something was wrong, so he planned to go back to his house and wait for Nishino to come back to her after he finished taking a shower.
But when she was about to leave, the sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped, and a slight voice came from inside: "Is it Xiaoshi?"
"It's me." Oda stopped leaving after being discovered by Nishino.
"Um, can you talk to me?" After hearing Oda's reply, Nishino's voice paused for a moment, and then came out from the bathroom again.
"Of course." Oda dragged a chair from the Nishino's table and sat at the door of the bathroom. After all, her purpose of coming today was to chat with Nishino.
But they said they wanted to chat, but after these two conversations ended, the two of them were silent for a short time. After about five minutes, Nishino in the bathroom spoke first: "Um, Xiaoichi, do you think I don't want to talk to you?"
You should be an idol."
"What happened?" Although he already knew what happened to Nishino's group today, Oda still tried to soften his voice and asked Nishino this question.
"That's it..." Nishino slowly explained the story that happened today to Oda, and this time the story was more detailed than what Ikoma told Oda, and also contained many of Nishino's own thoughts.
"Na-chan, are you saying that you heard passers-by say that you have dark skin and are not enthusiastic enough, so you are not worthy of being an idol?"
"Hmm... A girl like me who is not enthusiastic and not particularly good-looking probably shouldn't be an idol." Nishino's voice was obviously much lower. It seemed that today's events had caused her a lot of trouble.
deep impression.
"Na-chan, do you want to hear the truth or some words of comfort?" To Nishino's surprise, the girl on the other side of the door did not directly say comforting words such as "It's okay" or "They are jealous of you", but gave it to herself seriously.
A single choice question.
Hearing this question, Nishino was stunned for a moment, but for some reason, she who thought she had been drifting with the crowd felt courage for the first time in her heart.
"The truth." Although Nishino's words were weak and trembling, Oda could hear her firmness in them, "I want to hear the truth."
"If you want to be an idol like AKB, I don't think you are suitable for it, Na-chan." After becoming an idol, Oda spent some time investigating AKB48, a so-called official opponent. It can be said that Nishino is soft.
It is indeed difficult for a soft girl to stand out among hundreds of competitions.
"Really?" Oda's answer could be said to be both unexpected and acceptable to Nishino.
"But" Oda paused for a moment before continuing, "Na-chan, you are really a very charming girl. We are Nogizaka, not AKB, and we don't need to compete like crazy to win the love of fans."
"So Na-chan, as long as you can be yourself and show your charm."
After listening to Oda's words, Nishino became silent. After a while, Nishino's voice came again: "But my singing, dancing, and variety show performance are not as good as yours, Oichi..."
"But Na-chan, you are good at drawing." Thinking of the portrait Nishino drew for himself before, Oda couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "And Na-chan, you may not know it, but your personality makes people very protective.
.”
"What are these words?" Nishino laughed at the somewhat perverted lines spoken by Oda in a serious manner.
Hearing Nishino's laughter, Oda's face turned a little red, but she continued: "What I said is true, I really want to protect Na-chan."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"of course it's true!"
"Xiaoichi, I feel much better." After hearing Oda's reply, Nishino's mood improved significantly. Oda could even hear a faint chuckle coming from the other side of the door, "Tell me
Tell me about your experience today."
"Of course." Oda could tell from Nishino's tone that her mood had improved, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "We will... early this morning..."
After that, Oda chatted with Nishino for half an hour before being put back to his room by Nishino. Oda, who had been busy all day, did not do anything else. He set an alarm clock on his mobile phone for tomorrow morning. By the way,
Ignoring the dozens of disturbing messages sent by Ikuta, he soon fell asleep.
Nishino next door also quickly lay on the bed after taking a shower. Different from the previous few days, Nishino fell asleep quickly and familiarly today.
By the way, two girls seemed to appear in her dream. They held hands and climbed up a slope together.
