Chapter 10 Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Fukagawa

In the morning, Nana Hashimoto was not woken up by her own alarm clock. She didn't want to get up, or she had always hated waking up early. But in the six months since she came to Tokyo to go to school, she has hardly slept a few times, except for classes, her time is all for part-time work, although it is tiring, but it is the result of her own choice.

After struggling for a few minutes, Nanami Hashimoto sat up and saw that Mai Fukagawa, who was in the same dormitory, had already gotten up and finished washing, and sat there to paint the last bit of makeup on her face.

"Good morning, Nana-chan. Mai Fukagawa greeted with a smile.

"Good morning. Nana Hashimoto said listlessly, and got out of bed and put on her slippers to get ready to wash.

"Well, what is this?" Next to his brushing cup, there was an extra set of toiletries, including toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel, etc., which was about to be given by the hotel, but Nana Hashimoto didn't find them.

"Fukagawa-san, what are those things?" asked Nanami Hashimoto.

"Oh, I saw in the trash can last night when I took a shower, the ones you threw away, I guess you ran out. I'm worried you're going to run out of it this morning, so I'll put mine there... Am I influencing you or am I too impulsive... I'm sorry, Nanami-chan." Mai Fukagawa hurriedly said that she also did something wrong with good intentions, and she was worried that Nana Hashimoto would not be angry because of this.

"No, no, thank you, Fukagawa-san. Nana Hashimoto hurriedly said, and bowed deeply to Mai Fukagawa.

"No need for that, Nana-chan, let's go wash up! I'll go to breakfast later. Aren't you going to school today? Fukagawa said with a smile.

"Uh-huh," Nana Hashimoto entered the bathroom and began to wash up before she finished speaking.

After washing up, Mai Fukagawa had already folded the quilt, and the curtains were opened, so that the morning sun would shine in.

"It's a good day. Nanami Hashimoto thought to herself.

"If you don't mind, Nana Mi-chan will also lend you these for use, but I don't know if you want to..."Mai Fukagawa whispered, and at the same time held the cosmetics she used just now, holding them in her hands, hoping that Nana Hashimoto could use them.

"No, no, no, don't bother, I don't need cosmetics. Nana Hashimoto hurriedly waved her hand, and her face was already red with shame at this time. "Myself, have you seen through her? ”

Later, Mai Fukagawa couldn't stop begging Nanami Hashimoto, but Nana Hashimoto couldn't resist it, so she had to take Mai Fukagawa's cosmetics and draw them simply, and carefully put her back.

"Nana-chan, you're cute. Mai Fukagawa said happily.

"Thank you, Fukagawa. Nana Hashimoto thanked him seriously for the second time.

"Don't be so polite, Nanawei, can you call me Mai Mai in the future, it feels so troublesome to always call Fukagawa, we ...... We're already friends, right?" Mai Fukagawa asked cautiously,

"Uh-huh," Nana Hashimoto nodded sincerely. "Already friends, Maimai. ”

Mai Fukagawa smiled happily, so she hurriedly urged Nana Hashimoto to go to breakfast without changing her clothes, and reminded her not to forget that she would go to school in a while, as if she was the one who was going to go.

"Nanawei, you have to eat more, otherwise you will get dizzy in the car. In the restaurant, Fukagawa reminded.

"Uh-huh, got it, so are you, Maimai. Nanami Hashimoto also said.

The relationship between the two people, unconsciously, has been pulled in a lot.

Later, Mai Fukagawa dropped Nana Hashimoto to the bus stop in front of the hotel, watched her get on the bus, and then went back to the hotel to prepare to go to the practice room in the building.

In the car, remembering Mai Fukagawa this morning, Nana Hashimoto smiled.

"Mai Mai is really a very gentle person. Nana Hashimoto didn't think about it.

Everyone else got up and finished breakfast, and Rina Ikoma didn't look very good, and she didn't eat a few bites of breakfast. Under the reminder of the agent and staff, everyone took the bus to the practice room together.

In the practice room, the girls were training their singing skills under the guidance of Sanada. From the very beginning, Nogizaka should focus on improving the quality of each member, not asking how good everyone is, but not leaving one behind, this is the instruction that Kaneo Sanada received from above.

Yoshio Konno, who doesn't have much work, also came to the training room and watched the members practice.

After practicing for nearly an hour and a half, Sanada motioned for the members to rest, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the spot, and rested.

"Ikoma-chan, what's wrong with you, why don't you feel very good?" Hoshino Minami looked at Rina Ikoma next to him who lowered her head and didn't speak, and asked with concern.

"Uh...... Minami-chan. I'm fine, I didn't get much rest last night. Rina Ikoma looked up and saw Minami Hoshino looking at her, and replied.

"Mm-hmm, cheer up. Minami Hoshino cheered her up in a sweet voice.

"Come on, Ikoma-chan!" "Ikuta Erika on the side also cheered for Rina Ikoma.

"Uh-huh. Rina Ikoma nodded happily. Now she has new friends. It's the happiest thing she's ever done right now.

The members were chatting and laughing. Konno also asked about Sanada's current progress earlier.

"At the moment, it's not too much of a problem. Some of them are good, and some of the members are really a little bit behind...... "Sanada told Konno about what he thought of last night and what he observed this morning. Konno nodded, Sanada is really talented and learned, and he is also very responsible for the members, so he can rest assured.

"Please, Sanada!" Konno said.

"That's nature!" Sanada replied.

After a half-hour break, the practice began again. Konno smiled with satisfaction as he watched the girls practice seriously.

At noon, in the cafeteria of the SME building, the members had finished their morning classes, and the staff organized everyone to eat in the cafeteria. Nanami Hashimoto, who took a leave of absence in the morning because she had to deal with school matters, also returned. At this time, she was eating with Mai Fukagawa and the others.

"Is everything in place at school? Mai Fukagawa asked with concern.

"Uh-huh, it's all negotiated. Nanami Hashimoto smiled and Fukagawa nodded. Since what happened in the morning, the two of them have unknowingly become good friends.

"Mai Mai, there's nothing going on this morning. Nana Hashimoto asked.

"It's nothing, Nana-chan, it's just normal practice. Fukagawa replied.

Then the two of them chatted while eating, and they had a lot of fun.

Not far away, Mai Shiraishi and Sayuri Matsumura are also happy...... I should say that I was extremely happy eating.

"Ikoma-chan, you have to eat more. Ikuta said to Rina Ikoma.

"Yes, yes, you don't have much energy in the morning, you must eat more, otherwise it will not be good for your health, my mother said that we are still growing our bodies, and we can't stop eating." Minami Hoshino also said next to him.

Rina Ikoma obviously doesn't have much of an appetite, and the two of them are trying to persuade her to eat more.

"Ikuta-chan, you eat first, I'm not hungry. Rina Ikoma said as she struggled to squeeze out a smile.

"What's the matter, Ikoma-chan. At this time, Ikuta Erika and Hoshino Minami didn't eat either, and they all looked at her with concern.

"I, I'm a little homesick...", Rina Ikoma's eyes turned red, and tears soaked her sockets and slipped down her cheeks.

"Don't cry, Ikoma-chan. Hoshino Minami hurriedly went up and comforted.

"Yes, yes, Ikoma-chan, you're strong. Ikuta Erika also said: "Yesterday Ikoma you took the initiative to accept that you sleep alone, I have to admire it very much, to be honest, I don't dare to live alone outside like you now." After saying that, Ikuta Erika grabbed her hair embarrassedly, and Hoshino Minami also nodded and said that she was the same.

Rina Ikoma was still sobbing quietly with her head down.

"Okay, okay, Ikoma, don't cry. Ikuta hurriedly said: "You have to believe in yourself! as long as you are brave, you will not be afraid, you are much braver than us, so Ikoma, don't be afraid, you have to have confidence in yourself, I and Xiaonan believe in you very much, Ikoma you are our good friend, the most reliable good friend." ”

Minami Hoshino nodded in agreement.

When Rina Ikoma heard this, she stopped crying. wiped the tears from his face and said to the two of them sincerely: "Ikuta-chan, Nan-chan, thank you, it's me who is too cowardly, and I want you to worry too." ”

"No, no, no, Ikoma, you're not cowardly at all, you're the bravest!" said Ikuta Erika boasting, turning her head and asking Hoshino, "Konan, did you say it, Ikoma-chan is very brave." ”

"Uh-huh, the world's number one brave!" Hoshino said excitedly in her sweet voice.

"Mmmm, let's eat, it's getting cold. Rina Ikoma cheered up and took a big bite of food. Minami Hoshino and Erika Ikuta, who were next to them, saw it and put their minds at ease and ate the food on their plates.

The dance class in the afternoon is basically the same as in the morning, and the basic skills of the members are mainly exercised, and those who have the skills before will obviously be more handy. And the rest, a few are still not easy to do.

At around five o'clock, Yui Nango came to the training room and told Nanliushi that it was time for the non-dormitory members to go home. Nan Liushi clapped her hands and called out all those who didn't need accommodation, telling them that they could go, and those who stayed there, except for a few people who were left behind by her name, the others could also go back.

Like Ikuta Erika, Minami Hoshino, and Asuka Saito, they are still young and not very familiar with the journey from here to home, and now they still need to be picked up by their parents. They continued to sit and wait until the family came.

The people who stayed were those who had a poor dance foundation among the boarding students, and Nanliushi decided to work overtime for them, after all, more practice can make up for their shortcomings.

Rina Ikoma continued to repeat the movements that the teacher taught them in the afternoon, over and over again, sweat soaked her T-shirt, and she was not affected in the slightest, practicing with all her heart.

Nanami Hashimoto was also left behind, she also had no experience in dancing before, and now she can only rely on more practice to make up for herself.

There are still people training again in the practice room, and the sweat of dreams is still swaying......
