The group of participating singers of each song is based on the time when the single album is released. However, since the latest version of the re-formation (member group shuffle) list officially took effect after the third Guess Boxing tournament and before the release of the new single, the grouping status of some members in the single list will be different from the grouping status of the guessing boxing competition.

…………

It's Christmas again this year.

Masami Nagasawa's job is over, and she accompanies Zhu Zi in the hospital almost every day these days.

When Masami Nagasawa was cleaning up the ward, she suddenly found a photo of Ikuta Erika giving to Zhu Zi.

A photo of Yona Kojima and Yuki Kashiwagi's water.

"What is this?" Masami Nagasawa looked at Zhu Zi with resentment.

"It's the water of Kojima and Kashiwagi. Zhu Zi's face was not red and her heart was not beating, and she looked very natural.

"Why are their photos here? Do you have thoughts about them?"

"How is that possible? You think too much, I'm just here to pass the time, no matter how good they are, they can't compare to you, you can rest assured." Sesame sauce!" Zhu Zi said cautiously.

Masami Nagasawa suddenly pushed Zhu Zi down on the bed and kissed him wantonly.

"I haven't recovered yet, Sesame-chan! don't treat me like that. Zhu Zi said no, but she was very honest in her heart.

Gradually, his body changed.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the three girls, Mai Shiraishi, Mayu Watanabe, and Yuki Kashiwagi, saw the scene.

"You go on. Mai Shiraishi hurriedly closed the door.

Masami Nagasawa had a pretty face, and patted Zhu Zi's shoulder fiercely: "It's all your fault, I was seen by those girls." ”

Zhu Zi was stunned, this is also to blame me, is it okay for me to be passive?

"Come in, a few of you. In the end, Zhu Zi took a step back, who made himself a man.

Yuki Kashiwagi, Mayu Watanabe, and Mai Shiraishi walked in.

"What did you see just now?" asked Zhu Zi with a smile.

"Didn't see anything. Yuki Kashiwagi said hurriedly.

"I saw it, I saw it, and I didn't take the initiative anyway. It was Se-chan who took the initiative to kiss me...... Who made the two of us a couple? Zhu Zi said triumphantly.

Masami Nagasawa glanced at Zhu Zi fiercely, and put away the photos of the two girls, Yuki Kashiwagi and Yona Kojima.

"Teacher Zhu Zi, Merry Christmas. "The three girls brought a lot of apples.

"Thank you for your hard work. Shiraishi, how have the members of Nogizaka been doing lately?"

"Everyone has adapted to this kind of life, but there are no performances. So some of the members who have never been in the selection are a little anxious. Mai Shiraishi told the truth.

This is the difference between Nogizaka 46 and AKB48, although AKB has a large number of members, the members perform every week, which gives them the opportunity to express themselves on stage.

And Nogizaka 46 has few people, but there is no performance, and even some members can't take their turn when they participate in variety shows. For an idol, if she doesn't even have the most basic exposure, then her future can be said to be very slim.

This phenomenon is not a good thing for an idol group.

"I see, this matter will be taken care of. It doesn't feel weird that I can't participate in the Red and White Song Festival with Watanabe and Kashiwagi this year, right?"

"It's a little weird. In addition to being very comfortable with Reina-chan, when I'm with other people, I always feel that they are afraid of me. It's a really hard feeling. Mai Shiraishi said softly.

"Watanabe, you give me that apple. Zhu Zi suddenly said to Mayu Watanabe.

The girl was very obedient and brought Zhu Zi an apple.

"Last time, Flowey and Yuko came to see me. I asked the two of them to bring me an apple, but the two girls took the eldest two away, leaving me with the youngest one, and said that it was for my consideration. ”

The three girls laughed, and even Masami Nagasawa didn't answer.

"Do you know what's the most infuriating?"

Yuki Kashiwagi, Mayu Watanabe, and Mai Shiraishi shook their heads together.

"The most infuriating thing is that the two of them took a few apples with them when they left, and those who don't know think they are patients. ”

"Hahaha!" the three girls leaned back in laughter.
