"Good work, both. Yoshio Konno thanked the bananas who had come to the sidelines.

"It's going to be a second singles selection so soon, and Himura and I were also shocked when we heard the list just now. Shiraku said with a smile.

"Ikuta and Hoshino have fallen off the god of good fortune,......" Himura sighed.

"Hehe......" Yoshio Konno smiled and didn't explain anything more to the two.

"Ikuta is still crying there......" Himura looked back at the members of the selection team on the field, divided into several piles, Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi, comforting Ikuta Erika who had just failed to be selected as the god of good fortune.

"It's okay, I'll be back soon. Yoshio Konno replied with a smile.

"Let's go see them. Himura and Shiraku said, and the two of them looked at each other, and after confirming it, they prepared to comfort the members who were still crying on the field.

"Yiku-chan, come on, you can't admit defeat!" Mai Shiraishi encouraged beside her.

"Forget it, let her cry...... Maybe this is the tears of remorse. Nanami Hashimoto sat on the side, quietly accompanying the weeping Ikuta Erika.

"Xiao Nan, don't cry, really, you've worked hard...... Just keep it up. Rina Ikoma was also comforting Minami Hoshino, who was also unsuccessful as a god of good fortune, and Minami Hoshino just sat there silently wiping her tears, not saying anything, keeping her head down and not knowing what she was thinking.

"Xiao Nan, don't be like this, it's not like you at all. Yuri Saito kept talking beside him, and finally Minami Hoshino had some signs of reaction.

"No, it's okay...... I want to be quiet for a while and don't worry about me...... Just a little bit. Hoshino Minami whispered, and the people around her were not talking well, and Rina Ikoma had been sitting next to her, and tears began to roll in her eyes.

"Why, it's just me ......" Looking at the sad looks of the two good friends now, Rina Ikoma began to feel like she had done something wrong again......

"Woo woo woo ......" Ikuta Erika was still crying, and tears kept falling out. Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto's eyes were also red, since joining Nogizaka 46, I have never seen it, Ikuta Erika is as sad as today, not to mention Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto who look at her as a cute sister.

"That's enough. A small white hand held the palm of Ikuta Erika, Ikuta Erika raised her head and saw Hoshino Minami, who was also crying with red and swollen eyes in front of her, but smiling, and comforted her with her cute, sweet voice: "Don't cry anymore, Iku-chan, let's just work hard next time." Don't let everyone continue to be sad for us and cause trouble. ”

Minami Hoshino, an angelic, kind, cute, gentle girl of Nogizaka 46.

"Xiao Nan......" The two people hugged each other tightly, and the surrounding members all came over and patted the backs and shoulders of the two people, feeling distressed about the conversation between the two people.

"Papapa~" Seeing this situation, Shiraku and Himura applauded and encouraged: "It's really touching!

"Sheraku-san, Himura-san. Seeing the banana man coming, the members wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes and greeted the two politely.

"Ikuta, and Hoshino, you can't just give up, there will be a lot of opportunities in the future, and more training is needed. Himura said with a smile.

"Uh-huh, thank you, Himura-san. The two of them nodded, thanking Himura for his comfort and teachings.

"The other members are the same, and the new members are also recruited, so everyone should work harder. Shiraku also encouraged the others.

"Uh-huh. The others nodded in thanks.

"Alright, Himura and I are leaving, so you guys should pack up and go back. Shiraku said, and then the members all thanked the Banana Man for their concern again, and before leaving, Shiraku paused alone in front of Rina Ikoma.

"Don't forget that there are still everyone from Nogizaka. Leaving such an intriguing sentence, Shiraku and Himura left the studio.

"Everyone from Nogizaka......" Rina Ikoma pondered over and over again, the meaning of Shiraku's last words.

"Ah, you're back......" Yoshio Konno said in greeting when he saw that Kenji Kitagawa, who had just left, was back.

"I just went to talk to the members who were not selected, and gave them a few words of encouragement, which Yasuya Akimoto ordered. Kenji Kitagawa said.

"How are the members doing?" asked Toshiryo Muramatsu on the side, lightly.

"What else can I do, cry. But I've already experienced it once, and this time it's not as exciting as last time, and the atmosphere is very depressing, although there are still people who have plucked up confidence, and those who fell from the last selection, such as Asuka Saito, obviously didn't listen to it much, and sat there wiping tears all the time. Kitagawa Kenji waved his hand helplessly.

"Asuka Saito, I think it's the youngest. Muramatsu Junliang thought for a moment and asked.

"Well, yes, 13 years old, 14 years old after my birthday this summer. Yoshio Konno replied.

"It's just a child, it comes and goes as fast as it comes, it's okay. Muramatsu nodded.

"Yasuya Akimoto did mention Asuka Saito, but that was it. Kenji Kitagawa recalled for a moment, and then said to everyone.

"Anyway, I'm still a kid, and if Yasuya Akimoto didn't say anything, we don't have to worry too much about it for the time being. Muramatsu said.

"After I go back today, maybe the atmosphere will always be so depressing......" Nango Yui looked in the direction of the non-selection team members, and his face was a little worried.

"Some people are happy and some are worried, but the second time, I don't think there will be so many people who can happily congratulate others after losing the first time. Yoshio Konno said seriously.

"The essence of today's idol groups is competition, external groups and group battles, internal and interpersonal battles, this is an unavoidable fact, and it is not a game of pretending to be a family wine. Kitagawa Kenji complained.

"It's still far away, it's just beginning to experience a little bit of cruelty. It's going to get harder and harder later. Kitagawa Kenji continued, and several others nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's pack up and get ready to go back. Tomorrow is the weekend, so it's time for everyone to rest and change their mood. Muramatsu Toshiryo finally commanded.

"Yes. Yui Nango and Yoshio Konno organized the members of the selection team and the non-selection team to go backstage to change clothes and prepare to return to the dormitory.

"You have all worked out the original things. Toshiryo Muramatsu asked Kenji Kitagawa who was left.

"Well, the plan is preliminarily formed, and we will meet on Monday to discuss it, and then Konno will discuss it on behalf of Nogizaka, and just take a walk. Kitagawa Kenji replied seriously.

"You and Konno use more snacks, as long as it's not too much, we can accept it, I think you should have a sense of proportion. Muramatsu said slowly.

"Don't worry, I know in my heart, and I'm sure it will help Nogizaka, I promise. Kitagawa Kenji suddenly smiled a little sinisterly.

"Well, then I'll go back first. Kenji Kitagawa nodded, sent Muramatsu Toshiryo away, and then stayed to watch the editing work of the director team of Nogizaka on the video recorded in the show.

On the way back to the dormitory, the members were not talking and laughing as usual, and the team seemed to be much quieter than usual.

The two people who held hands tightly, Minami Hoshino and Erika Ikuta, and Rina Ikoma followed behind them, wanting to go up but not daring to step forward, and kept hesitating behind.

"Wan Lihua, you have to come on, I believe you. You're so good, you'll be able to do it next time. In the second half of the team, Sayuri Inoue, who entered the selection group, was comforting her good friend Ito Marika, but this time she failed to enter the selection group, and the two of them walked alone at the back of the team.

"Well, I know Sayuri, I'm not going to give up on myself like that. Ito nodded, replied firmly, and then pinched his little round face, trying to make himself laugh.

Marika Ito, a girl whose self-esteem is deeper than her talent hides.

"Alas, it's really hard to do this every time. "In the large army walking in front, Mai Shiraishi's mood is also very heavy, and the upper group is relatively mature, so the impact is not too big.

"Alas...... Let's hope Asuka doesn't get too sad. "I remembered just now, when I left the practice room, Saito Asuka saw himself crying, Hashimoto Nana Wei was also very uncomfortable, Xiao Asuka kept saying that he couldn't see Nana Min, which made Hashimoto Nanawei's heart even more sad, as if it coincided with the image of his younger brother in his memory, Hashimoto Nana was a little worried about her, but in the end after seeing her mother come to pick her up, Hashimoto Nana did not agree to her phone call, and Saito Asuka honestly followed her mother home.

"Yumi-chan, next time, I will definitely be able to. Reika Sakurai looked at Yumi Wakatsuki with confidence and said.

"Well, thank you, Reika. Wakatsuki Yumi was very happy that Reika Sakurai was able to keep her confident in her, and she was deeply moved.

"Mmmm, when the time is ripe, Yumi-chan, you can be together, I know very well Yumi-chan's strength, so I have to continue to work hard. Reika Sakurai encouraged.

"I will. Wakatsuki Yumi replied seriously.

This time, the members of the upper group were chatting on the way back, and they were not noticed, and there was a voice that was usually easy to hear.

Mai Fukagawa, who is kind and gentle like the big sister of the members, has not said a word until she left the practice room today.

No one knows what kind of serious problem Mai Fukagawa, who is silent at this time, is thinking about in her mind.

Back in the dormitory, the members all went back to their rooms for a short rest, and some of the members also went to take a shower first. At dinner, Nishino Nanase and Takayama Kazumi, Nojo Aimi, Sakurai Reika, and Wakatsuki Yumi discussed going out to eat, and the others were not in the mood to stay in the dormitory to eat.

"I've decided! Next time! Absolutely! I want to return to the god of fortune!" After returning and recuperating in the room for a while, Ikuta Erika completely recovered her spirits, and announced with a serious face to Mai Shiraishi and the others during the meal.

"I believe in you!" said Ikoma Rina with a raised hand.

"Iku-chanka cool clothes~" Minami Hoshino praised with a sweet smile, his eyes full of little stars looking at the excited Ikuta Erika.

"Okay, okay, let's eat quickly, you can't fill up your stomach when you're hungry. Shaking her head helplessly, urging Ikuta Erika to eat quickly and honestly, Mai Shiraishi's heart was relieved, and she finally returned to normal. Looking at Ikuta Erika, Ikoma Rina and Hoshino Minami who were eating and playing as usual, Mai Shiraishi also smiled happily.

Sure enough, it didn't come. Nanami Hashimoto thought to himself.

In fact, on the way back, I found that Mai Fukagawa was silent, and there was one person, that is, in addition to Asuka in his heart now, he was also worried about her Nanami Hashimoto.

"Let's talk to Mai Mai in the evening, maybe, she needs someone to take care of her now. After all, it's always been her who takes care of others. Nanami Hashimoto was eating and thinking about these things.
