"Akimoto-san, I just received a notice from Oita City. They decided to add an additional number of local tourism ambassadors, and the new representative will be Nogizaka 46. Togasaki Tomonobu came to Yasushi Akimoto's office to report to him the latest news he had just learned.

"Didn't you already say that this meant the original? and it changed over there?" asked Akimotoyasu as he wiped his glasses and turned to Togasaki Tomonobu.

"It's not that meaning.,It means that I feel that if Ihara is alone.,It may not be enough to achieve the maximum publicity.,It just so happens that the recent duel between Nogizaka 46 and Rina Shihara is quite topical.,I want to take this opportunity.,Let Nogizaka also serve as a tourism ambassador.,Can have the greatest effect of publicity.。 Togasaki Tomonobu said.

"Hehe, so be it. In fact, I want to give Zhiyuan some more resources to make good use of her. Akimoto nodded, and he almost already had an answer in his heart.

"There is also the PV shooting of the original solo solo single, which has now come to an end, and the finished product will be delivered later. Togasaki Tomonobu continued.

"Send it to me earlier, I'll take a look at it. Akimoto said.

"And then there'...... That thing...... Almost. Togasaki Tomoshin said a little unnaturally.

"Maeda has announced that she is withdrawing from this year's general election, although some people have begun to speculate, but that is only a speculative possibility, no one will believe that Atsuko Maeda will really be about to leave this AKB48 that she has dedicated all her to. Akimoto said flatly.

"Well, although there are speculations among the members, no one has thought of this, and at present, it is Takahashi Minami who knows in advance. Togasaki Tomonobu said.

"The two most important pillars in Yuan A, the center of the members, the face of the group, Atsuko Maeda, and Minami Takahashi, who is the captain and unites everyone, not only TeamA, but also the entire AKB, the significance of the existence of these two people is huge. "Togasaki Tomonobu is rare, and he said a few more words today.

"This time it wasn't what I thought. It was A-chan who took the initiative to bring it up, and I think we should respect her wishes. Yasushi Akimoto continued: "Maeda has done enough, and she also knows the future of AKB48, and her current choice is necessary and we cannot refuse. ”

"Yes. Togasaki nodded.

"When I was selected, I was still such a child, after so many years of ups and downs, I have experienced a lot of experience, bitterness and suffering, and I have also felt the scenery and feelings at the top. Akimoto said slowly.

"Well, it's really a complete transformation. But I still think that from the second half of the year before last year to the whole year of last year, A-chan really suddenly and completely grew. Togasaki Tomonobu thought for a moment and said.

"It's because of Yuko. The expression on Akimotoyasu's face became a little solemn, and he said the girl's name.

"Hmm. Only Oshima can force Maeda to such a point. Togasaki Tomoshin sighed.

"We hope that AKB48 will blossom and Maeda will be the ACE, but many things can be achieved in reality. At this time, there are two ACEs in AKB, Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima, both of whom are capable and restraining each other, comparing each other, and improving each other. This is an inevitable process, and when Maeda graduates, the apex of the group should be Oshima, and who will come next, there will always be alternate times. Akimoto said seriously.

"Yuko Oshima is no problem, after Oshima, it is very likely that it will be Mayu Watanabe. Togasaki asked.

"If you're a friend, the chance should be the greatest, but if the younger generation also grows up, it's hard to say who wins and who loses. As Akimoto said these words, the girl with two cute dimples who smiled sweetly came to mind.

"That's right. Togasaki Tomonobu understood which person Akimoto Yasushi was referring to, maybe that girl could really do it, the person who could be so favored by Akimoto Yasu, who had worked in AKB for so many years, Togasaki Tomonobu had encountered this situation for the first time, and it had never been seen before.

"Go back and tell Zhiyuan that the time is almost up, even if it is a show, you have to do the superficial work in place, just talk about it a little, and he will understand. Akimoto said.

"I see, Akimoto-san. Togasaki Tonobu nodded and left Yasushi Akimoto's office.

"Maeda, Maeda......" After Togasaki Tomonobu left, Yasu Akimoto was still thinking about what Atsuko Maeda had just talked about.

"I don't know if Shimazaki can do it, but I can do it. Akimoto thought secretly in his heart.

"A-chan, I'm free to come to the theater today!" In the AKB theater, Teamk's Akimoto Saika happened to meet Atsuko Maeda and went up to say hello.

"Well, I made an appointment with Takamina to go to dinner together, and she said she was here in the theater, so I came. Atsuko Maeda said with a smile.

"Oh, I see!" Akimoto nodded, then pointed in the direction of the clothing room and continued, "I saw her there just now. ”

Thanks to Akimoto for his guidance, since today is TeamK's performance day, Akimoto is busy preparing for the performance.

"Ah, you're here~" Atsuko Maeda came to the clothing room smoothly and saw Minami Takahashi, who was sitting here chatting.

"Yuko is also here!" Atsuko Maeda saw that Yuko Oshima, who was also her best friend and biggest rival in the AKB, was also here, and ran over to hug Yuko Oshima very happily.

"Why are you free to come here today, are you here to see our performance?" said Yuko Oshima after the hug, looking at Atsuko Maeda happily.

"No, no, I agreed with A-chan, I'm going out to eat today, and this is the place to discuss and meet. Takahashi Minami replied immediately.

"Ahh "Yuko Oshima's personality is more direct and cheerful, although she says so, the hearty smile on her face has never changed.

"Next time, next time, I will definitely come alone to cheer you on. Takahashi Minami also smiled and said quickly.

Yuko Oshima nodded with satisfaction, he knew Minami Takahashi's temper very well, and since she said it, she would definitely do it.

"Okay, okay, I'll let you two go today, you two can go on a date, be careful not to be photographed by the unscrupulous reporter of "Weekly Wenchun" You are intimate!"

"Haha. Looking at the two people playing live treasure in front of her, Atsuko Maeda couldn't laugh anymore.

"We're gone, bye-bye. Finally, the two living treasures had enough of making trouble, and Minami Takahashi and Atsuko Maeda said goodbye to Yuko Oshima and left the theater of AKB.

“...... Well, that's all, trouble. Unlike before, this time the order was completely done by Atsuko Maeda, and Minami Takahashi became silent from the moment she sat down.

"Please wait. The waiter said politely, then walked out of the box and closed the door, and now there were only two people left in the room, Atsuko Maeda and Minami Takahashi.

"Mr. Akimoto has already told me, do you know any of the members now?" said Minami Takahashi suddenly.

"I talked to Mariko and Kojiharu, but no one else said. Atsuko Maeda replied lightly.

"What about Tomochin, aren't you going to tell her in advance?" asked Minami Takahashi.

Tomochin her...... She may be very angry and blame me, and she will try very hard to keep me, she is a very emotional person, I don't want her to be very embarrassed, maybe she will blame me for this in the future, but I don't want her to start now. If it gets to the operation, Tomochin is really possible, she's really emotional. Atsuko Maeda said.

"Hmm. Takahashi nodded, tears were already beginning to bloom in his eyes, and tears were about to flow out.

"Do you have to choose to leave at this time?" Takahashi Minami's tears flowed uncontrollably, and he said to Atsuko Maeda while crying.

"Well, the time has come when I can leave. Atsuko Maeda was accustomed to the faucet attribute of Minami Takahashi, and answered her question with a smile.

"You're gone...... What about AKB?" Takahashi continued, wiping away a handful of tears.

"With you and Yuko here, and others too, it's no problem, but when the time comes, everyone will have to leave, and in order to make way for the era below, AKB needs new blood. Although Atsuko Maeda said it plainly, her eyes were full of seriousness and determination.

"I knew there would be a day like this...... It's just that when I actually come, I'm still sad. Takahashi Minami cried and said,

"It's okay, minami, AKB is not just ours, not only our dream, but also the dream of the members below. I think there will always be someone who will inherit our things and protect our AKB48!" Atsuko Maeda said with a smile.

"When are you going to make an announcement?" Takahashi asked, wiping tears from his face with a tissue, sniffing.

"At the end of the concert three days later, it was announced that everything had been arranged. Atsuko Maeda nodded and said.

"Is it so fast......" Minami Takahashi apparently cried again.

"It's okay, Minami, I won't regret this decision, never. Atsuko Maeda said seriously as she looked into Minami Takahashi's eyes.

"Hmm. Will definitely give it to you."
