Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Single Publicity Activity (Part II)

"I'm useless...... I can't do anything......" I blamed myself over and over again in my heart, and the tears on my face became more and more.

Takayama Kazumi was the first to spot Nanase Nishino who had left the team, and when he got closer, he found Nanase Nishino who was hiding on the side and crying secretly, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to pat her on the back and stand behind her all the time.

"What's wrong?" Yoshio Konno, who noticed something unusual, walked over with his agent, and was a little overwhelmed when he saw Nanase Nishino crying.

"Na-chan, it's okay. When Takayama saw that Konno and the others were coming, he gently patted Nishino Nanase on the shoulder and comforted him in a very gentle voice.

"As long as you stretch out your hand, someone will always take the tissue, so you can't just give it up! When I'm done with it, I'll come and help Na-chan deliver it, so don't worry. Takayama continued.

"yes, Na-chan, we'll help you, it's okay. You still have all of us!" Yuri Saito and Yumi Wakatsuki also came over, and when they saw Nanase Nishino crying, Yuri Saito no longer had his usual playful state, and he comforted him with a very gentle voice.

Sentence after sentence, the comfort of the members gradually soothed the hurt in their hearts due to the indifference of passers-by, and the tears slowly stopped and no longer flowed out of their eyes.

"Anyway, let's start slowly with what you're good at, and ......try slowly," Yumi Wakatsuki was guiding Nanase Nishino very gently.

As a result of this episode, the members' activities to distribute tissues wasted some time, and in the end, Yoshio Konno asked Takayama and them to go back to complete the propaganda mission, leaving Nanase Nishino here to continue to calm down for a while.

So while the three of them were worried about Nishino, who couldn't cheer up for a long time, in order to complete the task, they continued to work harder to promote it with Nishino Nanase's share.

"See, Nishino. Yoshio Konno slowly said to Nanase Nishino beside him: "Members, everyone, are working hard to bring your share together." ”

Nanase Nishino stopped crying at this time, but he was still sobbing, and because of the cold weather, he sniffed one after another, and his eyes were always looking at his companions who were desperately promoting back and forth in the crowd.

"It's also the first time for them, and although everyone has a different personality, they will be afraid of the first time. Yoshio Konno said, "Nogizaka is a united and motivated group, everyone treats each other as their partners, and if any partner has difficulties, the other members will do their best to help her." It's just that if you need the help of other members all the time, then you will be left behind by everyone, and there will be more and more. ”

Nanase Nishino nodded, wiped the tears from his face again, and whispered to Konno, "I'm sorry." ”。

"Let's try it, and if you take that step, the rest of the problems will not be so difficult. Yoshio Konno said one more sentence and went on.

After getting the information that Nanase Nishino was okay with himself, the agent called all three members back.

"People are starting to take away our tissues, Na-chan. Takayama said to her with a smile as he faced Nanase Nishino.

"Na-chan, come on!" said Yumi Wakatsuki, too.

"Hmm...... Thank you, I've wasted a lot of time for me, let's go and complete the task!" Nanase Nishino said with a smile to the three people, his eyes were still very swollen from crying, but Nanase Nishino, who wanted to respond to the concern of the members anyway, and Nanase Nishino, who didn't want to be left behind by everyone, adjusted his mentality and embarked on the road of distributing tissues again.

"Na-chan, you can send it with me!" "Takayama Kazumi proposed with a smile to Nanase Nishino.

"Hmm...... Thank you, Xiaomi. Nishino Nanase felt a warmth in her heart.

"Please advise me...... "Please advise me," smiled, and handed the tissue to the passer-by with both hands, and Nanase Nishino gradually entered the state.

"Thank you, I'll cheer for you!" The passer-by brother also responded politely to Nishino Nanase's sincere telecommunication.

The return of Nanase Nishino gave the rest of the members confidence, and everyone started the final sprint, and after everyone's efforts, they unexpectedly succeeded in distributing about 500 packs of tissues within an hour and a half. The members swept away the previous gloom and showed bright smiles.

So I went to the next group of cities.

And the group of Nanami Hashimoto has come to the next city of publicity at this time. On the way here, there was a bad snowstorm, but the paper towels were distributed at the chronograph in the Rehoro area in advance, and the members braved the snow to make an appointment with the meal, and successfully reached their destination.

After arriving at their destination, all four of them were touched by the sight in front of them. In such bad weather, more than 200 people gathered in Reihoro for dinner, and despite the snowstorm but still enthusiastically came to support the members, Nanami Hashimoto, who was born in Hokkaido, was very moved. The members were covered in snow to carry out a single propaganda in the snow, and distributed more than 200 packs of tissues in one go. After saying goodbye, I hurried to Nijo Market, a place in the Rehoro area with fresh Hokkaido seafood.

At this time, it was already dark, and since he had arrived in Hokkaido, Nanami Hashimoto, who was born locally, took the lead in the publicity, and led the members into the seafood stores in the market one by one to promote the publicity.

"Hello, we are Nogizaka 46, on February 22, our debut single will be released soon, if you can, please put our far EasTone telecommunications poster in your store. Please. Nana Hashimoto humbly and politely promoted to the owner of the store.

"Yes. The shopkeeper smiled and agreed.

"Can you post two...... Let's post two, please advise!" "Rina Ikoma saw that the boss was easy to talk to, so she added some content very appropriately.

The boss readily agreed.

At the next seafood shop, Rina Ikoma is in charge of publicity. As soon as he said, "We are Nogizaka 46," the owner of the store recognized the four members at a glance.

"I know you. The bald boss said.

"Really?" the members were surprised.

"I feel the same way as my daughter...... "The bald boss said a little shyly. Then a CD of Nogizaka's single was played on a tape recorder in the store.

When the song sounded, the members danced excitedly to the music, and there were already many people behind the members who followed them to watch and watch them dance happily, and the people behind were all smiling and applauding them to the rhythm.

The bald store manager was very shy and hid aside, but after the music ended, the members sincerely thanked the store manager, and the store manager said, "I will always support it." Then he said goodbye to the members.

Through the efforts of the members, the delivery of tissues on the Rehoro side has been completed. After confirming with the staff, Yui Nango announced the end of the event, and the four members finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah...... I'm tired ......" Sakurai Reika said, getting up early today and being busy until now, in addition to taking the car, they are constantly running, walking, and publicizing, and the four of them are really tired.

"Ah, Nango-san, I'm a little hungry...... What are you going to eat at night, won't it be a boxed lunch on the train again......" Rina Ikoma asked.

"Hmm...... This ......" Nango Yui looked at the time, it was 7:40 in the evening, and there was still about an hour left before the Shinkansen went back, so there was still plenty of time.

"Well, if you can finish it within an hour in a hurry, we won't eat the box lunch, I'll take you to eat tonkotsu ramen!" Nango Yui said.

"Yes! Absolutely!" Rina Ikoma's eyes flashed with fire, staring at Nango Yui.

"Ramen!" said Reika Sakurai, cheering.

"No problem!" Nanami Hashimoto rarely showed a high level of interest.

Asuka Saito nodded with a stupid smile along with the others, after all, he was still young, and compared to the other three big sisters, he was still very young in this regard.

"Well, I'll take them to get some food, you guys go eat too, and we'll meet at the station in a moment, and pay attention to the equipment and so on. After giving a few words to the staff, Nango Yui took the four members to a ramen shop not far away.

"I want this tonkotsu soy sauce!" Rina Ikoma was the first to decide on the type of ramen.

"Then I want this garlic pork bone. Reika Sakurai thought for a while and decided which one to eat.

"Garlic? that smells so strong......" Rina Ikoma complained.

"Oops, it's night...... I'm so tired today, I need to eat some ingredients to nourish my body!" Sakurai Reika finished speaking, and then mysteriously took out a few pieces of chewing gum from her pocket, and said proudly: "I still have a secret weapon!"

"Oh, oh, it's amazing! Reika!" Rina Ikoma threw herself to the ground with admiration for Reika Sakurai.

"I just want this spicy pork bone. "Nanami Hashimoto also chose her own taste.

Nana Min ...... Is it okay to eat that spicy?" asked Ikoma Rina with some surprise.

"Hmm...... Hokkaido is relatively cold, and I'm used to eating spicy food, so it's okay. It's a little cold today, and I want to eat something spicy......" Nanami Hashimoto said with some embarrassment.

"Oh, I see!" Rina Ikoma looked like she had learned knowledge again, and Nana Hashimoto didn't look a little helpless.

"Hasn't Asuka been chosen yet?" Nana Hashimoto didn't see Asuka Saito look at the menu for a long time, but he was very hesitant, wondering if this kid was having a difficulty in choosing.

"Hmm...... I don't know which one to eat......" Asuka Saito said embarrassedly.

"Well, that's it......" Nana Hashimoto didn't understand, and then her eyes flashed, and she secretly made up her mind in her heart, and turned her head to Nango Yuiwen and said, "Nango-san, can you order any ramen here?"

"Of course, but if you can eat it all, you can't waste it. Nango Yui replied, and he didn't look up when he answered, and kept using his mobile phone to browse Twitter, Nogizaka's official website, and the messages on the forum.

"That's good. Nana Hashimoto was secretly happy in her heart, so she said to Asuka Saito: "Asuka, since you can't choose, can I help you choose?"

"Mmmmmmmm

"Uh-huh, I think this seafood giant ramen should be good. Nanami Hashimoto said with a smile.

"Uh-huh, then let's have this!" Asuka Saito didn't think about it either, she thought that Nana Hashimoto didn't choose for her, so she couldn't be wrong.

After waiting for a while, the ramen noodles of the members were served on the table.

Rina Ikoma's ramen is a very common ramen, Reika Sakurai's ramen does have a lot of garlic in it, and the soup is rich, and the soup of Nanami Hashimoto is also red, and the spicy flavor can indeed be seen from the appearance to stimulate the taste.

As for Asuka Saito...... Her ramen bowl is a little bigger than the others, and she barely sees the noodles inside...... There are various types of seafood such as sea crab, scallop meat, fish plate, and shrimp...... When the ramen was served, the other three people all stared at the bowl of ramen with wide eyes, while the person in question, Asuka Saito, opened his mouth in surprise with a completely stunned expression.

"Wow...... And this kind of operation, I regret it!" Ikoma Rina was the first to let out an exclamation.

"It's too luxurious, isn't it?" said Reika Sakurai, staring at the bowl of seafood ramen.

"Hey, hey. Nanami Hashimoto also smiled and looked at Asuka Saito, who was in a stupor, and patted her hand to pull her back to reality.

"This ...... Is it really possible?" Asuka Saito was a little scared, in her opinion, the price of her bowl of ramen should be quite expensive compared to others, Nango Yui was next to her, and she chose this ramen in a daze, would it make Nango-san angry.

"Oh! this bowl of ramen is more than 5 times as big as mine!" Rina Ikoma looked at the price list and exclaimed again.

"This ......" Hearing this, Asuka Saito looked even more scared...... There was a little overwhelm in his expression.

"Asuka, eat, it's okay. Nana Hashimoto comforted.

"But ......" Asuka Saito was still a little worried.

"It's okay, let's eat. Nango Santo said, no problem, right, Nango-san?" asked Nanami Hashimoto.

"No problem, but you can't waste it if you eat it all!" Nango nodded with a smile and said.

"But I can't finish eating so much...... "Asuka Saito's voice already had a hint of crying in his voice......

"It's okay Asuka, and us, we'll help you if you can't finish eating, and besides, Nango-san isn't that bad, he's scaring you!"

"Yes, yes, yes, and us, I'll help you eat it, but I don't have enough for a bowl!" said Ikoma Rina with a mouthful of mouthfuls, having already eaten a lot of ramen in her bowl.

"Uh-huh, then I'll eat it. After completely relieving his heart, the little Asuka ate the ramen with peace of mind, maybe because he was too tired today, or maybe he was scared just now, and the little Asuka didn't eat much, and the rest was shared by the three of Hashimoto Nanawei.

The three of them walked out of the ramen shop with the little bird after eating enough, and after Nango only came out after the checkout, the four of them followed Nanxiang to the station. After checking in and boarding the train, the atmosphere gradually became quieter. Asuka Saito's head gradually rested on the shoulder of Nanami Hashimoto, who was sitting beside him.

Looking at the sleeping little bird, Nana Hashimoto remembered that the bird was about to cry today, and she felt very happy in her heart.

The shoulders leaned up slightly, and Nanami Hashimoto slowly closed her eyes.

Rina Ikoma, who was sitting opposite, also leaned her head against the window and fell asleep, and Reika Sakurai also rested with her head on the side.

After getting into the car, Yui Nango and Yoshio Konno and the other group leaders all passed the phone, reported their work on their side, and also inquired about the situation of the other groups, and the publicity activities were successfully completed, and I was relieved.

Late at night, the members who had been sent to various places for propaganda were tired and slept on the cars and trains that were back to Tokyo.
