"Five minutes before the start of the performance, please get ready!" With Staff's announcement, the members of Nogizaka began to prepare in earnest.

"Don't think about anything else, just do what you normally do in the practice room. Kenji Kitagawa made a final request.

"Ikuta, Ikoma, please. Ikoma, all of us believe in you, behind you, there are all of us in Nogizaka, don't be afraid, let it go!" Konno Yoshio also took the time to comfort, and everyone nodded, casting encouraging glances at Rina Ikoma.

"I see, I'll do it well!" Rina Ikoma nodded firmly.

The members followed Staff's instructions and began to prepare behind the scenes. In the arrangement of the program list, Nogizaka 46 is the first group to appear in the performance.

"What if someone booes us for a performance. Among the members who were preparing behind the scenes, Nanase Nishino whispered.

"It's okay Na-chan! Even then, we have to do our job well, just like Sanada-san told us about the professionalism of idols, we want everyone to see the spirit of our Nogizaka 46!" Rina Ikoma's words gave all the members present a shot in the arm, and this kind of passionate remarks can boost morale and confidence.

"Ah...... That's a lot of people!" Mai Shiraishi sighed. From such a distance, you can hear the loud noise coming from the audience, and the members are trying to adjust their state to the best.

"Ah, everyone from Nogizaka!" Minami Takahashi and a few MCs also came to the background, saw the members of Nogizaka waiting here, and took the initiative to greet them.

"Hello. The members also bowed slightly in the direction of the AKB and replied politely.

Outside, AKB48's Overture starts playing, indicating that Nogizaka's performance is about to begin.

"Countdown 10 seconds before playing. "Staff is making the final call for the game.

"What should I do, I'm so nervous. "Towards the last minute, some members were still nervous.

On the big screen outside, the animation began to play, and finally the picture froze: "Outside the circle, "ぐるぐるカーテン" (curtain surrounding), Nogizaka 46. "The audience below began to get agitated, and the news that had been published in the newspaper before really came true.

"Please do your best!" said Minami Takahashi, who nodded encouragingly from AKB48.

"Let's get on the stage!" Staff announced, and the members began to step onto the stage one after another, as they had done during the previous rehearsal. The moment the members appeared on the stage, the atmosphere in the entire venue began to boil.

"Ahhh Although Mai Fukagawa and other members of the upper group were also very happy, they couldn't help but hold their hands tightly, silently praying in their hearts for the smooth completion of the performance.

"Hello everyone, prepare, get up~" Erika Ikuta first led the members to introduce themselves in a loud and clear voice.

"We are Nogizaka 46!" the members all smiled and introduced the official Nogizaka gesture, and then bowed 90 degrees to the audience below to express their gratitude.

The audience cheered enthusiastically, and the atmosphere began to heat up.

"Xiao Nan! Yiku-chan!" A few people in the audience shouted the names of the members of Nogizaka, and it should be Nogizaka's rice who supported them loudly through solidarity.

The members began to prepare according to the position of the dance, and several members' hands began to tremble nervously. Although everyone was nervous, the smile on their faces never changed.

The intro to the song sounded, and the members began to dance.

"In the curtains, the sun, she and me, purring together, secret privacy, what the hell did you say? ,The body is just close together,Integrate into one always feel,The mind is connected (she and me),The slight breeze and flower fragrance in the curtains,Even the warmth is wrapped together with a little secret.,Who have you ever liked?,Yes,Girls,Always like to stay in this kind of secret place.,It's for this kind of time to prepare.,Boys forbidden.。 ”

The members of Nogizaka are working hard to perform for the audience with their best side.

"Are you wearing curtains? Why are the official opponents coming to AKB, get back!" Although most of the audience was cheering for Nogizaka's performance, there were still some voices of dissatisfaction, and Rina Ikoma, who was standing at the front, could clearly hear it. The expression on his face changed for a moment, and then returned to smiling.

"Absolutely, nothing can go wrong...", this is the only thought in Rina Ikoma's heart right now.

"Every day we were there was basically a noisy and noisy time, and of course there were times when we wanted to come, and when we cried to our heart's content, "calm down" and "it's okay" Heart to heart, wipe each other's teardrops, hug tightly, I will listen to you (who and whom), in the curtains, the sun, she, and me, purring together in secret privacy, come and talk quietly, presumably the boys pretended to be casual and pricked up their ears with their heartbeats, listening carefully to the girls' conversations, the windows are opening and the breeze is pouring in, the curtains in my heart are expanding with the delusion of love, the curtains are slightly breezy and fragrant, and even the warmth is wrapped in a little secret, who have you ever liked, yes, girls always, like to stay in this kind of secret place, it is for this kind of time to prepare Oh。 Boys forbidden. ”

With the end of the last action, Nogizaka Kazudan's performance is completed.

"Very good!" In the backstage lounge, Nanliushi felt that the members' performances today were really good, and praised them heartily. Yui Nango smiled and nodded, and the other members cheered happily.

"Finally, it's time for the most critical moment. Kenji Kitagawa said.

"Yes, it's up to Ikoma's courage, and Nogizaka Center needs to stand up at this time. Yoshio Konno next to him also said.

"Rina Ikoma, you want me to come and see your weight. In an activity room backstage, Yasu Akimoto was silently watching the next development through the TV.

"We, Nogizaka 46, have to ...... Goals that had to be surpassed...... That goal, that goal is ......" Facing the audience, Ikoma Rina felt tremendous pressure in her heart, and gradually, her voice was filled with tears, and tears began to flow out of her eyes.

"Come on, come on!" The audience also began to cheer for them.

The two people standing next to Rina Ikoma, Erika Ikuta and Minami Hoshino, one left and one right, both patted her back gently with their hands at this time, giving her confidence and strength.

“…… That goal is ...... AKB48!" Finally, under such pressure, Rina Ikoma spoke firmly.

"It worked!" said Kenji Kitagawa and Yoshio Konno excitedly.

At this time, the other members watching in the background were the same as Rina Ikoma, with red eyes and tears, watching the TV screen seriously.

"First of all, thank you very much, and you all warmly welcome you today. AKB48 is still a mountain that we can't climb over now, so we are grateful for the opportunity to perform on the same stage with AKB, and we will continue to do our best with this gratitude...... We are working harder than all our might, and I hope that one day we will become a real opponent, and we ask for your support!" Rina Ikoma finally finished her speech.

"Please, everyone!" said the members of Nogizaka on the stage, all with tears in their eyes, smiling and saying in unison, and bowed deeply to the audience again.

"We are Nogizaka 46!" Matsumura finally shouted loudly, and the members bowed to the audience for the third time, and the cheers of the audience below had reached the ears of every member on the stage and reached the nervous hearts of the members.

"Thank you, thank you......" Finally, the members waved their hands to the audience and began to leave the stage.

"Ahhh

"We've achieved the results we expected, and I think Akimoto-san will be satisfied. Kenji Kitagawa said to Yoshio Konno before Nogizaka left the game.

"Well, these kids are really angry! they really did it!" "Yoshio Konno also sighed.

"After all, this is the dream of all of them, and it seems a little naïve to us in some ways, but what they insist on is what we may have lost now. Kitagawa Kenji said slowly.

"Ikoma is doing really well, and if I can say those words, I might not be able to do it if someone else did. Yoshio Konno said.

"If it were someone else, that assumption wouldn't make any sense, Konno. Nogizaka's center is Rina Ikoma, which has already been decided, and this matter must also be done by the center, otherwise the meaning of the location of the center will not be reflected. ”

"Well, Rina Ikoma is really qualified as the center of our Nogizaka 46!" said Yoshio Konno approvingly, and Kenji Kitagawa nodded when he heard it.

"I'm going to find Yasu Akimoto, you can tell Muramatsu about today's situation!" Kenji Kitagawa watched the members of Nogizaka start to leave, and finally said a word, and went to find Yasu Akimoto.

"Oh, yes. Yoshio Konno also immediately went backstage to find a quiet place, called Toshiyo Muramatsu, and reported the status of the performance disclosed at the beginning of today.

"Have all the members gone back?" asked Yasushi Akimoto when he saw Kenji Kitagawa coming.

"Not yet, I saw them go to the other members when I came. What's the matter, is there something wrong with Akimoto-san?"

"It's nothing, today's performance was a success, you can accompany me to see the members of Nogizaka later!" Akimoto said with a smile.

"Okay, Akimoto-san. Kenji Kitagawa replied.

"It's starting to get interesting. Akimoto Yasu muttered, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an unknown smile.

Nogizaka 46 first revealed the stage performance, which was a complete success.
