Chapter 53: The Rejoicing Crowd
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it until now, we really did it!" After the members of Nogizaka exited, they quickly walked behind the scenes and went backstage to meet with the other members. Every member of the selection team felt like they were dreaming about performing on stage today.
"Woo woo woo ......" Asuka Saito, and Nanase Nishino, the two of them held hands and slowly walked at the back of the line. The two of them have cried into tears, and the two people who are recognized as the most crying in Nogizaka's first life, today, have experienced tension, pressure, touching, joy, and all kinds of emotional changes, and finally shed tears uncontrollably. The agent, Miss Mayuko, was waiting for them backstage, and the two of them cried out loud the moment they saw Mayuko. Mayuko patted Asuka on the head, patted Nishino Nanase's back, her eyes began to turn red, and after hugging the two people, she slowly walked to the backstage room with the two crying bags.
After leaving, Rina Ikoma rushed to the backstage as fast as she could, thinking that she would be able to see everyone soon. After the joy, followed by all kinds of complex emotions, Rina Ikoma gradually slowed down, and tears gradually appeared in her eyes, and the feelings in it were more complicated than anyone else.
"We did it! Ikoma!" At the top of the stairs, Mai Shiraishi supported Rina Ikoma from the side, and the expression on Rina Ikoma's face was about to collapse, confident, happy, only temporary. True emotions are about to be revealed.
"We really did it! With the dream of Nogizaka and everyone! I really want to see everyone soon!" said Ikoma Rina wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand and said to Mai Shiraishi beside her.
Still holding up. Rina Ikoma is still trying her best to control her feelings.
"It's almost there!Ikoma, everyone will be happy!" Mai Shiraishi and Rina Ikoma said as they walked, and in a blink of an eye, they came to the door of the lounge in the backstage Nogizaka.
The moment she opened the door, Rina Ikoma's tears flowed out.
"We really did it! all of our dreams, everyone's support!" Ikoma Rina cried and blushed, and suddenly threw herself into the arms of Eto Misai in the crowd, and Edo Misai gently ** her hair, and the tears in her eyes began to flow.
"Thank you, Ikoma, we've all seen it here, you're really amazing, for all of us!" said Misai Eto with a smile in a very gentle voice.
"It's really amazing, everyone!" Mai Fukagawa has begun to shed tears of emotion for the third time. From Nogizaka's appearance, Ikoma's speech later, and now, she sincerely feels that she is very lucky and touched to have these reliable partners in Nogizaka.
"Well, thanks to your support, we are confident that we can finish the performance!" "Nanami Hashimoto's eyes were also red, but she didn't cry, she was still very calm, answering the words of the people around her.
Leaning on Misai Eto's arms and crying for a while, Rina Ikoma gradually eased up. Sobing, he said to all the other members: "I thought about giving up, at the most critical time, I really was about to say it, but I thought of all of us, thought of my side, and the partners waiting for us here, I have strength and confidence again, thank you very much!"
Rina Ikoma said word by word, and she said it very sincerely.
"Papapa" Nango Yui and Nanliushi took the lead in applauding, and the others also applauded and encouraged Rina Ikoma with a look of relief and emotion, Mai Shiraishi and Misai Edo quickly helped Rina Ikoma up, although Rina Ikoma's face was already full of tears and her makeup was spent, but the firmness in her eyes could be felt by anyone who saw her.
"Ikoma is absolutely right! This success is the result of the joint efforts of all members of our Nogizaka, and each member is indispensable and the best!" Nango Yui encouraged everyone.
"Everyone is great, doing well!" Nanliushi also encouraged everyone in a rare way.
The members continued to have a lively discussion in the room, and everyone had a little tear on their faces, but now the expressions on their faces were happy smiles.
"Knock knock~" There was a knock on the door, and the members stopped chatting, and then when the door opened, the people who walked into the house really startled all of them.
Yasusu Akimoto, with Kenji Kitagawa with him, came to Nogizaka's lounge.
"Akimoto-san is good! Kitagawa is good!" The members hurriedly greeted the two of them in unison, and then bowed to Akimoto Yasushi as a polite gesture.
"Hehe, don't be too nervous. Akimoto Yasu smiled and looked at the tears on each member's face, and the corners of his mouth became more and more curved.
"Today's show was a great success. Everyone's efforts have been passed on to the audience. Everyone was able to see it. Akimoto said slowly.
"Please remember this valuable experience, there will be various tests waiting for you in the future, and I hope that everyone at Nogizaka can work together to overcome it together. I hope that the next time I see you performing on stage, you will be able to see something more different and more advanced than you are now. Yasu Akimoto said his feelings again, and the members listened attentively to Yasusu Akimoto's speech, and they all took these words firmly to heart.
"Okay, we still have something to do, let's go first, you've worked hard today. Yasusu Akimoto thanked him slightly, and then went out with Kenji Kitagawa again, and the members were all relieved, and then continued to chat, waiting for the next arrangement.
'Hello everyone!'" Yoshio Konno said as he pushed the door in and greeted him with a smile.
"That's right! Where have you been, Konno-san! We can't find you after we leave!" "Ikuta Erika saw Imino Yoshio come in, and complained directly.
"That's right, Konno-san, you disappeared suddenly, we have been looking for a long time!" Matsumura Shayuri also complained.
"Konno-san doesn't care about us at all, irresponsible man!" Hoshino Minami twisted his head, also expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't do this, everyone! I have a job, too! I'm going to report to Muramatsu-san about today's performance, so I'm walking away for a while, don't talk about me like that!"
A few people still didn't buy it, and stared at Yoshio Konno with their mouths puffed out, and Yoshio Konno felt a little embarrassed.
"Muramatsu-san, did you say anything about us?" Nana Hashimon asked tentatively.
"Ahh Yoshio Konno said.
The other members nodded in understanding. Ikuta Erika still doesn't buy Yoshio Konno's account.
In addition, in order to praise everyone, Muramatsu Sang prepared post-performance condolences for everyone. Yoshio Konno said suddenly.
"Condolences, what condolences?" Ikuta Erika and the others suddenly became interested.
"Well...... "Yoshio Konno deliberately lengthened his voice and said mysteriously.
"Say it quickly!Konno-san, what kind of condolences!" Several girls surrounded Yoshio Konno and kept asking.
"Okay, okay, I said, in order to praise everyone's recent hard work, Muramatsu-san worked hard to complete the debut performance, and decided that we will take everyone to eat barbecue for a while, Muramatsu-san approved the instructions, everyone can eat as much as they want, but be careful not to eat bad stomach, now everyone is satisfied!" said Yoshio Konno with a smile.
"Barbecue!" several people screamed, and everyone else was very excited about the news, the barbecue was really a great decision.
"Muramatsu-san is the highest!" Ikuta Erika shouted loudly, and then began to touch her face with both hands, swallowing her saliva constantly, it seemed that she had imagined the deliciousness of the barbecue and couldn't wait, and the other members were very happy to see Ikuta's cute appearance and smiled. Ikuta Erika is like everyone's pistachio.
"Obviously I took you there!" Konno Yoshio complained in his heart, and smiled awkwardly when he saw that no one came to thank him.
"Nango, Nan, let's go together in a while, wait for me to inform Sanada, everyone goes! Yoshio Konno said.
"Well, good. Both nodded. All three of them looked at the happy members of the room and smiled knowingly.
As the members continued to sit together and watch the AKB performance on TV, the members of the audition team had other thoughts in their minds and compared themselves to the AKB members on stage, and the success of today's performance gave them a lot of confidence.
"I've booked a restaurant, Nango, have you informed Sanada?" asked Yoshio Konno.
"I've been informed, Sanada is very close to here, and it will be there soon. Nango Yui replied.
"Well, we'll leave when Sanada arrives!" said Yoshio Konno.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, Kaneo Sanada joined the crowd, and she also praised the members for their performance today, and also recognized the efforts of all the members.
"OK, all here, let's go!" Yoshio Konno gave an order, and the members began to board the bus one after another and sit down, and after all the people were seated, the car started slowly, and the members were very excited and happy, because they were moving towards the delicious barbecue.
