Chapter 39 Dinner at a hot pot restaurant
It didn't take long for the waiter to bring the pot and ingredients one after another, and all the girls looked at the food on the table with great excitement.
"Let's start!" Mai Shiraishi said with a smile, after seeing the waiters walk out, they finally didn't have to be reserved, and their true forms were revealed.
"Meat! I want to eat meat! a lot of meat!" said Ikuta Erika loudly, and then put a large pile of meat in the pot with her chopsticks.
"Yiku-chan, you're too anxious, you didn't taste the soup first, so you put the meat in it so quickly. Matsumura Sayuri complained, and then scooped a little of the soup in the mushroom soup pot with a spoon and tasted it, feeling that it tasted good, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Oh oh! Matsumura, you're so fast!" Rina Ikoma quickly took a spoon and scooped a few bites into the bowl, and after tasting it, she showed a relieved expression.
Various ingredients were added to the pot one after another, and as the pot boiled, the temperature in the room gradually increased, and the communication between the members gradually warmed up.
"Why didn't they come?" asked Mai Shiraishi.
"Ah, it seems that Nishino is not in a good mood, Takayama went to eat with her, but this time he couldn't come. Yuri Saito replied as he took a piece of sweet potato and ate it in his mouth.
"Well, that's a bit of a pity. Mai Shiraishi nodded.
"Na-chan is really not in a good mood, she doesn't have much energy when I talk to her today!" "Ikoma Rina also hurriedly said: "I'll go back and see her later!"
"Speaking of which, it's about to be a holiday, what do you think?" said Misai Eto.
"What else can I do, of course I'm going home, now I'm all idols, I can't just run around, didn't I see that today Konno-san and Nango-san have been emphasizing the issue of our identity as idols, or something else. Mai Shiraishi took a sip of juice and said.
"Uh-huh, I haven't been home in a long time! I miss my family so much!" said Rina Ikoma excitedly.
Mai Shiraishi looked at Rina Ikoma with a smile, and she understood the excitement in Rina Ikoma's words, because she could feel the feelings of missing her family that Rina Ikoma had been deliberately suppressing.
"Speaking of which, Nanami doesn't seem to be going home. Matsumura Sayuri said, she was eating unhurriedly all the time, and Ikuta Erika next to her did not show weakness at all, these two people are simply like the demon king on this table.
"Hey?" Nana Hashimoto didn't expect Sayuri Matsumura to mention herself, and at this time she was helping Asuka Saito put food on the plate, and suddenly the topic came to her.
"Because I don't know how to deal with my family, I still think it's better not to go back...... It won't be a hassle that way......" Nanami Hashimoto said lightly.
"Yes. Mai Shiraishi looked at Nanami Hashimoto and nodded, she could feel that Nanami Hashimoto rarely mentioned her family, maybe there was really something inconvenient to say, but she was more or less curious about what happened to this girl with a strong heart and a reliable girl on the surface.
"I'm used to living in Tokyo by myself, so as long as I try to survive, I think it's enough to be worthy of my efforts and my parents. Nana Hashimoto said lightly.
"Well, Nanami is right. Mai Fukagawa also said with a smile.
Everyone else nodded in acknowledgement. Asuka Saito, who was sitting next to Nanami Hashimoto, looked at Nanami Hashimoto next to him with a wistful expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he sat there and watched quietly for a long time.
"Ikoma, give you this meat. Mai Shiraishi took out the meat from the pot and put it in a bowl for Rina Ikoma, who thanked him and immediately began to gobble it up again.
"Hey, really, Iku-chan eats too fast, really fast! I'm really worried about her stomach!" Hoshino Nan complained helplessly, looking at Ikuta Erika next to her who was staring wide-eyed and constantly picking vegetables, it was like not eating for a few days.
"Xiao Nan, you also want to eat more! We have a long body, you eat too slowly!" Ikuta Erika said vaguely before she finished chewing the contents in her mouth.
"That's enough. Hoshino Minami shook his head helplessly, and also gave up persuading Ikuta Erika.
"By the way, didn't we say that the release stage of the debut single has already been decided, and we haven't been notified yet, so I really want to know where to perform!" said Erika Ikuta.
"It should have been all arranged, and we should be able to know when we come back for the New Year!" Mai Shiraishi replied.
Mai Fukagawa, who was sitting next to her and taking care of Yona Kawago's meal, was obviously stunned for a moment when she heard this topic, and was a little distracted, but she quickly adjusted it again and continued to maintain her original state, but this detail happened to be observed by Nana Hashimoto.
"It's okay Mai Mai, didn't Qiu Yuan-san say it, this time doesn't mean that in the future, Mai Mai will definitely be able to do it next time. Nana Hashimoto comforted.
"That's right, Mai Mai, we have to work harder!" Misai Eto, who was next to her, also encouraged her.
"Yes, I see. Mai Fukagawa replied with a smile.
"Alas...... If it's Mai Mai who is chosen, instead of himself, I'm afraid it's a better choice, I really don't know how to enter the Seven Lucky Gods in a daze, although I have also thought about this possibility, but I really don't have the same as others, so I have a clear goal, just to have a good life security, the problem of food and accommodation can be solved, I just treat the idol as an ordinary job, more for the work and be responsible. Now when I see the members of the non-selection team, I always feel a sense of guilt in my heart! Maybe it wasn't the best choice for me to be chosen, but since I was chosen, I will do my best to complete it. Nana Hashimoto thought to himself, and at the same time understood that his position was not easy to come by, and he had to work harder for the sake of the people who were not chosen.
"When will we get to the point where AKB is!Last time Maeda-san appeared, I could really feel the aura on her, I was really envious!Is this our opponent?Can we really do it......" Yuri Saito sighed, the last time Atsuko Maeda's appearance shocked the members, and the girls were more or less shocked by the impact from the immovable center of AKB.
"We're not qualified yet, but one day, we're going to be a veritable official opponent!" Mai Shiraishi said seriously, drinking all the remaining juice in one go, with a very serious expression on her face.
"Uh-huh, I believe, Mai-like. Misai Eto hurriedly said, and poured Mai Shiraishi with juice in the cup.
"We're not weak in Nogizaka, we just need to work harder!, yes, Ikoma!" said Ikuta Eri while eating the flowers, and said to Rina Ikoma next to her.
"Well...... There are still a lot of things I can't do well, but I'm going to work harder!" said Rina Ikoma seriously.
"Okay, although we are far from the title of official opponent now, but I believe that with the joint efforts of all of us, we will definitely do it, Nogizaka 46, and we can't just admit defeat. Let's all toast to the future!" Mai Shiraishi raised the glass of water in her hand and proposed loudly.
"For the future, for Nogizaka, come on!" everyone shouted, and then they raised the water glasses in their hands, clinking glasses and drinking all the juice in the cups, everyone smiled very happily, and their eyes were full of confidence and hope.
Everyone had almost eaten, leaving Matsumura Sayuri and Ikuta Erika still eating, both of whom were still stuffing food in their mouths without admitting defeat to each other. The other members were chatting at this time, waiting for the two foodies to finish eating.
"Yiku-chan is really so delicious, don't you really worry about getting fat? My mother at home always said that if I eat too much, I will gain weight. Hoshino Minami looked at Ikuta's appearance and said sweetly.
"Xiao Nan, you're not fat, don't worry, Xiao Nan, you're so cute, you won't have a problem!" said Rina Ikoma with a smile.
"Hmm...... People just don't want to gain weight. Hoshino Minami puffed out his face and said.
"Kawaii!" everyone was killed by Minami Hoshino's appearance. Although the girls in Nogizaka are very cute, and the members who have a good relationship have people who like each other, most of the people in the group admit that they are recognized as cute is only Minami Hoshino, because the way she speaks, as well as her appearance, will always be the kind of cute and sweet, no matter what she says, what she complains about, it will not make people feel uncomfortable, and what you can only feel is, how can this child be so cute.
"It's better to be Mai Mai. Yona Kawago glanced at Mai Fukagawa and hugged her at once, while Mai Fukagawa was smiling.
"Ah, it's going to die, it's going to die!" Mai Shiraishi kept touching her stomach with her hands, feeling that she had eaten a little too much today.
"Hehe, Mai's appearance seems to be a little different from usual. "Rina Ikoma looks at Mai Shiraishi's current state as if she is like a housegirl's dick.,It's really different from the usual feeling.。
"Well, Ikoma, you still talk about me, you look at yourself!" Mai Shiraishi blushed a little and quickly replied.
"Uh......" Ikoma Rina looked at herself, and now the sitting posture is not very good-looking, and the uncle who is sitting at home watching TV, quickly adjusted the posture, this is not possible when this is at home, the tutor at home has been very strict since childhood, and the rules in this regard are very important. Maybe it's because I've been out for a long time, and the hidden attributes in my heart don't need to be restricted anymore, and it's finally revealed.
"I'm full!" suddenly Ikuta Erika shouted.
"I'm done too!" Matsumura Sayuri also put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Everyone looked at the plate on the table, there was almost nothing left, the food in the pot was also cleaned, how much did the two people eat, all these foods were eliminated, there were black lines on everyone's heads, these two people were so good at eating, the degree of food they could eat was enough to shock, whether they were really full, or because the food was finished, no one knew, but seeing that they had eaten so much, for the sake of their health, they didn't ask them to order anymore, so they had to stop.
Let the two of them rest for a while, Mai Shiraishi went to check out, today's dinner AA system, each member contributed money, and a small part was not enough, Mai Shiraishi put it on herself.
"Asuka, will you go back by yourself in a moment?" asked Nanami Hashimoto as she turned to Asuka Saito next to her.
"Uh...... Dad would say come and pick me up. Asuka Saito said embarrassedly.
"Well, that's good, it's dark, and I'm not at ease when you're alone. Nanami Hashimoto nodded, and then said, "Is it here to pick you up?"
"I'll go back to the building with you and call my dad there!" said Asuka Saito, after a moment's thought.
"Well, that's fine. Nanami Hashimoto said. Asuka Saito took out his mobile phone, dialed his father's number, and explained to him where to pick her up later.
"Then let's all go!" Mai Shiraishi saw that she was almost rested, so she asked everyone to go back together.
"Asuka will go back with us first, and her dad will pick her up there. On the way, Nana Hashimoto said to the others.
"Hmm. "Everyone else said they knew.,Just sent away Ikuta Erika and Hoshino Minami.,These two people usually go to the company to practice by themselves.,The road is very familiar.,It's almost half an hour away from home.,So don't worry too much.。
Back in the dormitory, Asuka Saito played in the dormitory for a while, and finally at 8:30 p.m., Asuka Saito's mobile phone rang, and her father had come to the bottom of the SME building.
"I'll go see her off. Nana Hashimoto said to the others, and then took Asuka to her father.
"It's really like sisters, the two of them. Mai Fukagawa said, and Mai Shiraishi next to her also smiled and nodded in agreement. 、
On the way, Nanami Hashimoto took Asuka Saito's hand, and Asuka Saito jumped and jumped happily, and the two walked together.
"That...... Nana Min ...... I want to ask you a question. Asuka Saito asked, a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter, Aso, what's the matter?" Nana Hashimoto replied.
"Aren't you scared if you're out for the New Year by yourself?" Asuka Saito asked, a question that had been bothering him tonight.
"Well, because I'm older, I also have the ability to take care of myself, and people will grow stronger and stronger, although the family is very good, but you can't always rely on the family, Asuka, you are still young, you don't understand it now, and you will naturally understand it when you grow up. Nanami Hashimoto said.
Asuka Saito nodded thoughtfully, looked at Nana Hashimoto's unserious expression, and thought to himself, "It's really handsome, Nana Min......"
Seeing Asuka Saito's father, Nana Hashimoto simply greeted each other, and then handed Asuka Saito to him with peace of mind, and the two said goodbye to each other.
"Goodbye, Nanamin, I'm having a great time today!" said Asuka Saito, waving her little hand, cutely.
"See you tomorrow, Asuka. Nanami Hashimoto also smiled and said goodbye to her.
After watching Saito's father and daughter leave, Nanami Hashimoto slowly walked back to the direction of the dormitory.
