Towards the end of the evening, Mariko returned to the filming site, carrying such an oversized bento box full of hot curry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoA-chan, who loves food, was attracted by the aroma of the curry, and reluctantly sat up, and actually ate enough curry for two or three people to eat at all, and A-chan, who was rejuvenated, finally succeeded in completing this important fight.

Everyone knows how much Mariko spoils Yangna, and Yangna also knows that Mariko will definitely come over in a few minutes and give herself a carefully selected gift, and it must be what she needs and likes. However, even if she stays by her side, every time Mariko is in a daze, her eyes will always be on A-chan, and every time A-chan needs it, Mariko will always quietly send her unique support.

Yona put the bow on her head, looked at the happy Takahashi in front of her, and a sadness welled up in her heart: If it weren't for A-chan's stubborn feelings for Takahashi that everyone knew, then wouldn't it be that the person Mariko was willing to accompany was no longer herself, but A-chan.

If life is only as it first sees, I am still by your side.

Yona seems to be very busy lately, and every time Mariko asks Yona, she will pass it away with an answer like "I'm very busy, I don't have time". However, soon after, Mariko knew that Yona's "busy" was to go out with Yuko.

"Yuko-san bought a lot of cute things with Kojima-san yesterday. When Zhongchuan and Xiao Ao were chatting enthusiastically, they saw Mariko walking to their side, and immediately saluted: "Did Mariko go with you yesterday?" Mariko was a little stunned, and her heart ached.

Nakagawa and Xiao Ao didn't hear Mariko's answer as expected, and they were a little nervous, and their two pairs of fawn-like eyes carefully looked at Mariko's expression.

Mariko realized that her abnormal reaction might have scared the two children, and instantly smiled: "No, kawaii things are not suitable for me." ”

"Why?" the two innocent children continued.

"Because I'm Mariko Shinoda!" Mariko playfully winked at the two children, tilting her neck proudly, and with the expression that I am a queen, she didn't expect her sleeves to be grabbed by a pair of small hands.

"No, Mariko is very gentle and very cute. Xiao Ao carefully pulled Mariko's sleeve with his hand and said very seriously.

Mariko looked at Xiao Ao's big eyes, and suddenly felt a wave of emotion in her heart. However, Mariko's way of expressing emotion is always different, the corners of her mouth suddenly curved into a conspiracy smile, and she reached out like lightning to pull Xiao Ao's white and tender little face, regardless of how poor Xiao Ao struggled: "Xiao Ao is also cute." ”

Mariko, who was immersed in the fun of pranks, didn't expect that she would also become the target of others. Suddenly, she felt a wet little thing stuck to her cheek, and when she turned her head, it was Zhu Linai who made a V-shaped gesture: "yes, finally kissed!"

"Little ghost~" Mariko cried and laughed and slipped Zhu Linai's collar, wanting to pick her up, but suddenly found that this little ghost was not much shorter than herself...... It turns out that so many years have passed.

In the days that followed, Mariko rarely asked for Yangcai again, and often went out with these children. When she was with the children, she wanted to forget the time, and she wanted to forget the things she knew when she grew up, and she and Xiao Ao even called each other "Mari ゃん, Oku たま", so simple and simple, as if returning to the days when AKB was established - she and Yona, A-chan, Takahashi, and Itano were once so close and simple.

When she is with the children, Mariko will feel very relaxed, and occasionally she can be in a daze, or tease the children, and the cute expressions of the children after pranks can drive away the little uneasiness in her heart.

January 1, New Year's Day.

For this day, Mariko is both looking forward to and afraid, although she can control herself from not seeing Yangna for a while, but when she learned the news that "the New Year is going to be on the show", she couldn't help but feel some faint joy and worry in her heart: I want to spend the New Year with Yangna.

Thinking like this, Mariko fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night, and when she woke up in the morning, she didn't have time to rejoice or worry, and after busy putting on makeup and preparations, by the time Mariko reacted, she was already sitting at the live broadcast site, sitting next to Yangna. Whether it was Yona who came to her side, or whether she came to Yona's side, Mariko couldn't remember at all. She habitually stretched out her hand and wanted to clasp her fingers with Yangna, but suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so she could only smile a little stiffly at the camera.

When Yona sat on the quiz table, Mariko dared to secretly look at Yona, the pink kimono was very beautiful. However, it's a pity that Yangna still habitually pretends to be stupid and stupid in the show, which is really pitiful for A-chan on the slide. A-chan, who was struggling to support herself on the slide, couldn't help but complain to Yona and Takahashi on the stage: "Hey, don't pretend to be stupid at this time!"

Mariko, who was inexplicably nervous, couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene, her friends are really cute. Mariko is a lot more relaxed in the next time, anyway, she doesn't appear many times, so it's OK to enjoy the New Year's dinner presented by the program team with peace of mind.

Mariko really couldn't understand why she chose to squeeze the phone booth as the New Year's END program, but the program made her feel warm. Waiting for Yona to enter the phone booth first, Mariko walked in after her, and protected Yona very naturally behind her, so that Yona had enough space to easily chat with the host on the phone when others were squeezed and begging.

Throughout the New Year's performance, Yona was by Mariko's side, from start to finish.

In another phone booth, Ah Jiang watched all this quietly, when the water poured down from the top of the phone booth, the cold water poured on his body in winter seemed to be bitterly cold, and Ah Chan's heart was as bad as this water. However, A-chan knows that even if she is trembling, she will smile and say to the camera, "Goodbye, Happy New Year!" I don't want to miss you, so I don't see you;

"ニャロ is my sister.。 ”

Mariko on the screen said this repeatedly. Yangna: Maybe she wants to thank others for giving her the nickname "Natural Stay", so that she can deal with everything with this expression.

Yuko, who was holding the DVD in her hand, rubbed her shoulders and said as if with emotion and envy: "It's good to have such a sister!nyannyan, you can't say that you don't have relatives and friends in AKB, so Mariko may be sad." ”

"Hmm. Yona still maintained the same natural expression.

"Nyannyan is so cute, I love Nyannyan the most. Yuko threw the DVD aside, and stuck to Yangna's body like an octopus, touching and kissing, maybe really used to Yuko's attack, and Yangna still accepted it with the same expression.

In the following days, Yona tried her best to avoid meeting with Mariko in private, and whenever Yuko asked herself out, she readily agreed, and if Yona was in a completely idle state when Mariko made an appointment, Yona would be very worried, and she was afraid that she would shake such a mood, so sometimes she would take the initiative to ask Yuko out or come to the house for dinner.
