Chapter Eighty-Eight: Evil Words Against Each Other
RB, 2CH posted a post titled "Discussing the recent incident about Nogizaka vs. AKB".
"Is AKB going head-to-head with Nogizaka?"
"Liar, that kind of third-rate girl group still wants to fight my AKB? crazy???
"Isn't there also a stake in AKS, right?,Sony Music cooperated and established together.,Isn't the producer still Akimoto-san?"
"That's right, it's a bit like SKE, but isn't the debut the official rival of AKB48? 」
"Hehe, I really can't imagine any girl group that can face AKB head-on, I don't know where the courage is, is it because it's Sony's girl group?"
"What about Sony's girl group, doesn't it still depend on people?"
"There are a few members of Nogizaka who look pretty good, I've been watching their fan, and I'm very impressed with that Mai Shiraishi. 」
"Mai Shiraishi? 」
"Me too, Mai Shiraishi is really good-looking. 」
"I think Nanami Hashimoto is also good, it's a natural feeling. 」
"Speaking of nature, is it only I think Ikuta's Erika is cute?"
"Ikuta Erika, is that the one who put the egg directly on the induction cooker? It really made me look stupid that time, it felt like it was a script, and if it was true, this girl would be really natural. 」
"It seems to be true, I looked it up, it looks like this girl hasn't been in the kitchen since she was a child. 」
"Really, it's fake, Miss, it's too pampered!"
"The family looks good. It seems that it really looks like a big lady. 」
"In the style of that singing costume, I really don't look like a big lady. 」
"I think Matsumura is cute. 」
"Oh, that's another member of the Cooker. Well, it's really cute. 」
"Cute? do you really think that's cute? Is my mayuyu really cute? I think your definition of cuteness is too low. 」
"It's too extreme to say upstairs, Mayuyu in "Fraud Idol" is cute, but the members of Nogizaka are also very young!"
"Don't mention that drama, I think it's insulting to ask those people to star together. Isn't it to publicize the opponent, and you have to beg Mayuyu to brush your face on the drama, it's really bad. 」
"It's not Mayuyu's decision, it's the operation's decision. Didn't Mayuyu say that he liked the members of Nogizaka very much?"
"It's just a superficial job, and I feel sorry for my mayuyu, so I must say these words that are out of my conscience. Disband, Nogizaka 46!"
"Is what you said upstairs true? If it's true, then the real Mayuyuj is too pitiful!"
"But someone saw a picture of Mayuyu and Nogizaka 46's Rina Ikoma going out together. Downstairs drop map. 」
"Fig. 」
"Acting, it's all fake, don't you see what Mayuyu keeps saying? Just to make fans feel that the relationship is good! It's all a lie, and fans are stupid!"
"Is it for Mayuyu to stir up the heat for Rina Ikoma?"
"Rina Ikoma? is the one who performed on the AKB stage and talked big to surpass AKB?"
"Yes, yes, it's her, she looks like the center of Nogizaka. 」
"The face is really big, you can say this, and performing on the AKB stage is already giving them faces, and saying that kind of thing, sure enough, AKB is still too gentle. 」
"Maybe it's Akimoto-san's plan, he probably thinks it's going to be funny. 」
"Will Akimoto-san give up AKB and win Red Nogizaka? No way, no matter what, it's too dark to say it, and I don't like this girl." 」
"Dislike +1. 」
"I don't like it either. 」
"I don't like it, the meta center that is also a combination, it feels too much worse than A-chan. 」
"Please don't insult A-chan, okay?What kind of thing is Rina Ikoma that can be compared to A-chan?"
"It's not imposing, so I'm looking at the wrong person. 」
"It's a little hunchbacked. 」
"Maybe there's room for growth in the future, don't jump to conclusions so early. 」
"I don't feel it. 」
"Senseless +1." 」
"It's better to let Mai Shiraishi be the center, and Ikoma Rina has to come. 」
"Maybe it's because of the short hair?"
"Mai Shiraishi? Well, if that's the case, I'll probably buy a single. 」
"Mai Shiraishi, I'll pay a little attention to Nogizaka. 」
"Hey, hey, wake up. Now the center is Rina Ikoma. 」
"If Rina Ikoma had come to AKB, I guess I wouldn't have been able to even get out of the theater. Hehe. 」
"Isn't that nonsense?"
"Rina Ikoma, the best in the world, I love Rina Ikoma. 」
"Huh, look, there's a push from Rina Ikoma here, surprised!"
"Where did you get this tease???
"Hey, man, it's really time for you to look at your eyes. 」
"Are you sure it's the eyes, not the brain?"
"Incredible aesthetic. 」
"Rina Ikoma is the best!"
"It's over, it's completely hopeless. 」
"Don't say that, everyone has their favorite idols. 」
"But it suddenly came out of nowhere, and that's what it means to scold?"
"Maybe it's an M-attribute fan, hahaha. 」
"I think it's a very ugly and fat otaku. 」
"Hahaha, isn't it the kind of thing that hasn't gone out for more than ten years? Maybe, it's understandable that the aesthetics are different from ours. 」
"Rina Ikoma is the best, the worst!"
"Hehe, we've talked so much, and we haven't seen a few foals push here to refute, just the one just now. 」
"Does Rina Ikoma have fans?"
"Doesn't Nogizaka also have a handshake, and does Rina Ikoma have someone to shake?"
"I've been there once, but I'm holding Nanami Hashimoto, and Ikoma Rina didn't pay attention to how many people there were, but there were still people who went. 」
"Will anyone who has been there go again next time?" I want to know. Hahaha"
"I don't know, I won't hold it anyway. 」
"I hope Ikoma Rina will be replaced soon next time. 」
"That's right, it's okay to change to a cuteer one with a higher appearance. 」
"Mai Shiraishi is better for her. 」
"I think Nanami Hashimoto can do the same. 」
"Sayuri Matsumura is also cute!"
"Hehe, it turns out that everyone is paying attention to Nogizaka. 」
"Observe the enemy army, there's nothing wrong with it. 」
"Anyway, the original intention has always been here at AKB, and Nogizaka is a little interested. 」
"Agree +1." 」
"Agreed. 」
"But there aren't many people who are optimistic about Rina Ikoma, hahaha. 」
"Senseless. It feels too ordinary, nothing appealing. 」
"From Akita, country girl. Nothing insightful. 」
"Haha, if you say that upstairs, the people of Akita are going to cry. 」
"Haha, Akita's friend begs to be spared. I'm talking about Rina Ikoma. 」
"Haha. Confessed. 」
"Seconds. 」
"Rina Ikoma is so cute!"
:「......」
:「......」
"Here He Comes Again......
"It's true, the brain doesn't look good. 」
The discussion continued, and Rina Ikoma silently closed the lid of her phone.
"Ikuma, get ready, it's going to start in a moment. Nonaka's agent reminded,
"Uh-huh. Nonaka-san, I want to go to the bathroom. Rina Ikoma lowered her head and hid her face in the shadows.
"Come back quickly, there's still half an hour, pay attention to the time." Agent Nonaka reminded again.
Rina Ikoma nodded, and slowly walked out of the studio alone.
"There are still so many people who don't like me. My existence is good or bad for Nogizaka. In the bathroom, Rina Ikoma stood in front of the mirror in a daze, looking at herself in the mirror, tears in her eyes slowly sliding down her cheeks.
"Maybe that's what I need to carry, fate. "Looking up at the ceiling, trying not to let tears flow out. Although the tears in the eyes can be stopped, there is no way to effectively stop and heal the blood dripping from the wounds on the soul.
"Hey, Ikuma, what are you doing here?" At this time, Nanami Hashimoto also came to the bathroom, and when he saw Rina Ikoma who was in a state of keeping his head up, he asked suspiciously.
"No, nothing. Rina Ikoma quickly replied when she saw the person who was coming.
"Eyes?" Nana Hashimoto pointed to Rina Ikoma's already reddened eyes.
"I didn't ...... It's okay, the family called just now, and there were some ......" Rina Ikoma made up a lie improvised and explained it to Nana Hashimoto.
"Oh, that's right...... I'll go to the toilet first. Then Nanami Hashimoto went into the toilet inside.
"It's so dangerous, it's dangerous, and we can't worry about it anymore. Rina Ikoma thought to herself, took a deep breath hard, calmed her emotions well, and then looked carefully in the mirror to see if the makeup on her face was crying.
"Hmm, Ikuma, you haven't left yet?" said after a while, Nana Hashimoto came out of the toilet and saw Rina Ikoma standing next to the sink.
"Well, I'm waiting for you. Rina Ikoma said with a smile.
"I see. Nana Hashimoto walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, rubbed it with hand sanitizer, and rinsed her hands with clean water.
"Let's go, Ikuma-chan. Finally, she dried her hands with a tissue, and Nana Hashimoto greeted Rina Ikoma and said that she was leaving.
"If there's something stressful about it, say it. On the way back to the studio, Nana Hashimoto whispered to Rina Ikoma.
"Yes, it's okay. Rina Ikoma replied with a happy smile.
"Well, I heard that today's lunch was added. Nanami Hashimoto said with a smile.
"Really?" said Rina Ikoma felt a little excited.
"Well, I heard from the Staff. Nana Hashimoto nodded.
As they walked, the two of them had already returned to the studio.
"Hurry up and sit down, it's less than ten minutes to go. The overseer urged the two to hurry up and sit down in their seats, and the two obediently hurried back to their seats.
The Banana Man sat on the sidelines, familiarizing themselves with the script recorded today, while the members continued to chat happily in this last free time.
"If you say it yourself, you can get through it by gritting your teeth. In the seat, Rina Ikoma silently strengthened her inner thoughts.
"15 seconds before starting. The sideline staff shouted a reminder that the members had ended their small talk and were ready to get started in their seats.
"Count down to 5 seconds. Again, the banana people are ready.
"Smack!" With the crisp sound of the Staff, Nogizaka's recording began.
