"Uncle, how is the thing I asked you to do?"

"It's done. ”

"Well, tomorrow happens to be Sunday, no classes, she should be at home... ”

"Then I'll leave tomorrow and head to Gunma!"

"Hmmm... But is she really worth your visit?"

"I think it's worth it!"

This is a conversation that takes place inside SMA's Director of Operations' office.

The two sides of the dialogue are Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the director of operations, and Uncle Ishida, who was promoted to the deputy head of the artist department of SMA.

In the office, I saw the two drinking tea and chatting at the same time.

"But do you really think she'll be persuaded so easily?"

"According to my investigation, she was bullied at school when she was in middle school before, which caused her to dare not go back to school for a long time, just locked herself in her room... ”

From this point of view, after being bullied, she should not be a person who opens her heart easily. ”

Uncle Ishida flipped through the small notebook he carried with him while telling Kiyoshi Sakamoto about his concerns.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting on the sofa across from him, didn't react much.

Because, he already knew this information.

It was also because of this information that he did not rashly propose to let her join Sony when they met for the first time.

"I know this better than you do, after all, I was at the same table with her for a day... ”

At the same table, being bullied, Gunma...

These few keywords are constructed into a name that is about to come out.

Mai Shiraishi!

That's right, the protagonist that Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Uncle Ishida are discussing is the one who once made Gunma beautiful girls at the same table with Kiyoshi Sakamoto in the show, the face of Nogizaka in the future, Mai Shiraishi!

And why did the two suddenly discuss, Mai Shiraishi, who is far away in Gunma Prefecture?

There's a reason for that.

At the time of the third review, I saw Nishino Nanase, as well as Nanami Hashimoto, who had signed up for the audition, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had signed up for the audition, and I thought that Mai Shiraishi would also sign up...

However, until the end of the audition, he did not see Mai Shiraishi.

This made him unconsciously rise a small impulse in his distress.

Otherwise, go straight to the door and bring Mai Shiraishi back to Sony?!!

This idea, once it appeared, directly occupied Kiyoshi Sakamoto's entire mind.

He thought like this: Since you didn't come to me, I'll go find you!

What's more, only by coming to the door in person can I show my determination and sincerity...

So, Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked Uncle Ishida to inquire about the address of Shiraishi's house and prepare to visit.

In his opinion, the relationship between the girl and himself can be regarded as good friends.

And the opportunity to promote the relationship between the two from ordinary friends to good friends was the fireworks display...

Thinking back to that time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto suddenly had a little erratic thoughts.

In his previous life, he was a fan of Nogizaka.

Although it's not the most faithful kind, he can name Nogizaka's first birthday.

It can be said that this girl group is the one who led him into the Japanese entertainment circle.

So, why did he think about creating the girl group "Nogizaka 46" after he was reborn.

And in this girl group, there are three of his favorite members (only three, not counting DD).

One is a pitiful "pigeon" that triggers a desire to protect, Nanase Nishino.

One is that you can obviously take the route of the eldest lady, but you want to be a comic "flower is not cowardly", Ikuta Erika Flower.

There is another one, which is the "chest madman" who is cold on the surface and has a dick in his heart, and Mai Shiraishi with the nickname "Mai Like"!

As for Nanami Hashimoto, Kiyoshi Sakamoto in his previous life, he didn't know much about this literary girl from Hokkaido.

However, God seems to be joking with him, and after he was reborn, the first member of the group he met turned out to be Nanami Hashimoto!

After years of getting along, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's understanding of Nanami Hashimoto has long surpassed the first three and has long become an important part of his life.

That's why he was so reluctant to let Xiaoqiao enter the entertainment industry.

The entertainment industry is intrigued, intertwined interests, and even more openly and secretly.

Especially the unfriendliness of young girls, so that Sakamoto Kiyoshi, a reborn person, is a little unbearable.

Don't look at Tokyo so big, but it can't accommodate thousands of moths with dreams to survive here...

Fortunately, standing behind Nanami Hashimoto and the future Nogizaka, the person who sheltered them from the wind and rain was the one who was reborn, Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"Qing, then let's leave tomorrow morning?"

At this time, Uncle Ishida's words interrupted Sakamoto Kiyoshi's thoughts and woke him up from his wandering.

"Uh... Well, it's not us, it's me. Rubbing his sour eyes with his fingers, Kiyoshi Sakamoto replied.

"Uh, you mean, are you going to go alone?"

Uncle Ishida was a little surprised.

"Of course, I came to the door alone, as if a friend came to visit and made an offer to let her join the company by the way, how natural. Sakamoto Kiyoshi analyzed seriously, "If I bring you, then the people will definitely know that I came to visit with some purpose, and the people will definitely be a little guarded... ”

“。。。 ”

Uncle Ishida was speechless, and could only complain in his heart about a shameless guy: "But, you guy, just came to visit with a certain purpose!"

。。。。。。

Sunday, April 12.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture.

A small villa with the name plate "White Stone" hanging outside the door.

"I'm back!"

Mai Shiraishi, who had just returned from an errand in the supermarket, shouted loudly as she stepped into the house with difficulty carrying large bags and small bags.

"Welcome back!"

From the living room came the familiar response of his mother.

"Whew... Mai Shiraishi skillfully took off her shoes on her toes, carried large bags and small bags, and stepped on the wooden floor with her smooth feet.

She complained to her mother as she walked in the direction of the living room.

"Mom, there are a lot of people in the supermarket today, I almost did... ”

However, when she complained about the supermarket being full and walked into the living room, the situation in the living room made her stunned.

As soon as his hand was released, the big bag and small bag he was carrying, "Bang!" all fell to the ground.

In the familiar living room of his house, an unexpected visitor is sitting.

I saw that his "table mate" Sakamoto Kiyoshi was sitting on the sofa in the living room, greeting her with a smile.

"Hey! Mai-chan!"

At that moment, Mai Shiraishi thought she was hallucinating.

However, instead of rubbing her eyes stupidly, she reacted directly.

"Huh?"

"Eh, eh, eh, ?!!"
