August 20th is Mai Shiraishi's 19th birthday.

Previously, Kiyoshi Sakamoto promised the girl to invite her to a big meal and celebrate her birthday by the way.

He didn't forget.

For birthdays, it is natural to have a cake.

So, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who worked as a salted fish at home and didn't get up until noon, also called the pastry shop after ordering a big meal.

"Well, 19 candles with "Happy Birthday, Mai" written on them... ”

After all this was done, Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not put down the phone in his hand, but continued to call someone.

"Mossi Moxi?"

"I know where to go... ”

"Uh-huh, you go first, I'll be there right away... ”

Without saying a few words, Kiyoshi Sakamoto hung up the phone.

Putting on a trench coat, Kiyoshi Sakamoto walked out of the apartment.

"Go to Ginza XX Restaurant. Sitting in the car, Kiyoshi Sakamoto said to Alex, who was sitting in the driver's seat.

"Yes. ”

With the calm voice of the security captain, the car let out the roar of the engine and drove forward at a speed that was neither slow nor fast.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, looking out the window of the car, the scenery that kept receding, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's thoughts drifted into the distance.

Now, he is about to meet Shiraku and Yuki Himura.

If you are more familiar with comedy artists, you will know that these two are the two of the famous comedy group "Banana Man"!

Since 2009, Kiyoshi Sakamoto withdrew from the title group of THE SUN, and he took the opportunity to recommend the banana people group to take over as the host of the show.

Banana Man was very grateful to him and gave them the opportunity to host prime-time shows, and after a lot of back and forth, he became good friends with Banana Man.

And to meet the two of them today, it is for the sake of the Nogizaka title group "Where is Nogizaka" that has been determined for a long time!

Although today's banana people have already become first-class funny artists, they hold more than a dozen gear groups in their hands, and their work schedules are full.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto opened his mouth, and even if they didn't collect money, they were very willing to serve as the MC of Nogizaka's title group.

After all, befriending the big man Kiyoshi Sakamoto is more important than other jobs!

Not to mention how Sakamoto Kiyoshi let the banana people, take more care of Nogizaka's sisters, and on the other side...

A few days ago, Nogizaka 46 announced the tentative selection and tentative center members, and the members were given vacations to go home to spend time with family and friends.

And Mai Shiraishi, who had already made an appointment with Kiyoshi Sakamoto to celebrate her birthday by having dinner together, did not go home, but stayed in Tokyo.

All she could think about was the dinner in the evening, and the birthday party she was about to celebrate alone with Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

In the afternoon.

When she returned to the apartment, she saw Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino who appeared in front of her with a cake, Mai Shiraishi couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.

"Happy Birthday!

She couldn't bear to be moved in her heart, opened her arms, and then hugged the two friends, "Thank you!"

After being moved, the three of them sat down in the living room in turn.

The table is already filled with mouth-watering fried chicken nuggets, as well as fruit plates.

Not only that, but the living room was simply furnished.

Balloons with the words "Happy Birthday" printed on them are pasted on the wall, and streamers are also wrapped around the curtains, creating a beautiful rainbow.

At this time, Nanami Hashimoto was very professional, holding a spoon and acting as the host, "Okay, next, it's time for the birthday star to blow out the candles, let's invite today's protagonist, Mai Shiraishi!"

"Applause, please!"

As soon as the words fell, she immediately put down the "microphone" in her hand and applauded with Nanase Nishino, who was sitting on the side.

The two of them applauded seriously, which moved Mai Shiraishi to also "poof", revealing a smile like a flower.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Mai... ”

Under the playful birthday song of the two, Mai Shiraishi closed her eyes and made a wish that only she knew, before she lowered her body and blew out the candle.

"Now, Mai, this is our gift, I hope you will like it. ”

Receiving the beautifully wrapped gift from Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi opened the box expectantly.

"Ahh ”

Inside is a pure white lace dress, which looks very elegant, and wearing it on Shiraishi Mai should make her look more bright and moving.

Nanase Nishino stared at the expression on Mai Shiraishi's face with apprehensive eyes, for fear that she wouldn't like this gift very much, "I know you like white, so we don't know if you like it or not... ”

As it turned out, Nishino Nanase's worries were not necessary.

"Thank you, I like it very much!"

Mai Shiraishi, who received the gift of the skirt, hugged the skirt tightly into her arms directly, with a look of "no one can snatch my skirt".

This appearance also made Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino relax a lot in their hearts, and they also showed a bright smile.

"Come, let's eat cake!"

"Well, good!"

Time, in the laughter and laughter of the girls, gradually passed...

Before I knew it, it was seven o'clock in the evening.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Mai Shiraishi, who was having a lot of fun, realized that there was less than half an hour left before the time he agreed with Kiyoshi Sakamoto?!

This fact made her whole person, slammed from the sofa, and stood up.

"What's wrong?" Nanami Hashimoto, who had cream on her face, looked at Mai Shiraishi who suddenly stood up, a little puzzled.

Nanase Nishino, who was on the side, also looked at Mai Shiraishi with curiosity.

"Uh... ”

Mai Shiraishi looked embarrassed at this time, and she didn't know how to explain it.

"Is there something wrong?" Nanami Hashimoto, who saw the expression on Mai Shiraishi's face and sensed that something was wrong, asked.

After hesitating, she decided to tell the truth: "That... I made an appointment with Sakamoto-kun.,On my birthday,,He's going to invite me to a big dinner.。。。 ”

"So... ”

"Huh?!"

Not surprisingly, the two of them showed surprised expressions at the same time.

Especially Nanase Nishino, her small mouth was slightly open, and she looked envious.

However, Kobashi's next reaction was to make Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino a little confused.

"Oh, I see!"

Xiaoqiao nodded, then puffed up his bun face, and said with a little taste: "Then you go quickly, don't let Ernie sauce wait for you... ”

"But you... Looking at the food on the table, and the two of them, Mai Shiraishi hesitated a little.

"Didn't you make an appointment with Ernie Sauce? Although I envy you, every year on my birthday, Ernie Sauce will hold a separate birthday party for me... ”

"So, don't worry, Nana and I will have fun. ”

As soon as Nanami Hashimoto's understatement came out, the joy in Mai Shiraishi's heart faded a lot, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a trace of envy.

It's the first time I've had a birthday alone with Sakamoto-kun.,But,Nana doesn't celebrate his birthday with him every year.。。。

In this way, who envy whom?
