Chapter 154: We're Not Clowns

I really don't know how I got my driver's license, and I don't even know where I can't park for a long time, so I can't really buy the examiner! Huh? This is...... What's going on? Although there is never a shortage of fen waiting at the back door, the number of people today is ...... Isn't it too much? And how did those two guys who were jumping around like big horse monkeys, holding microphones and cameras, get out of the zoo?

"Excuse me, excuse me, but are you here to support Akihabara 48?" The two guys, who were called big horse monkeys by Young Master Ben, jumped rudely and squeezed through the crowd and walked over. The guy with the microphone in front of www.biquge.info walked in front of me, and before he could reach me, he had already spoken, and the small needle-shaped microphone poked into my nose. "And which otaku do you like?"

I pushed off the microphone with a slight frown, spared them with a blank face, and walked straight into the back door of Don Quixote Building, "Since you are going to do their interview, please at least do your homework, their name is AKB48, and they are not homebodies." I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, so I'm sorry! ”

"Huh? Does this guy know how to be polite or not! Don't give an interview! Really, I hate these weird dead houses the most! The guy with the microphone shook his hand in disgust, and muttered in a low voice full of unhappiness, but he didn't know that he had already been followed by the guy who was carrying the camera behind him, and shook his eyes several times in disdain.

The fen, who were not far from them, faintly heard something, and glared at the person unevenly, silently taking a few steps back to the surroundings, isolating the two people.

"Hello? Don't you think the guy just now...... Something familiar, huh? And she actually got into the elevator just now. One of them poked the other person next to him, frowning and pondering, "Is she a member?" ”

"You say that...... Yes! Another person's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed in the direction I was leaving and exclaimed, "It's Chisato Wakai from Group B, Sen-chan!" ”

"You said the guy who went in just now was Rin-chan?" Another FEN joined the discussion, and he grabbed the hand of the previous person with an excited face, "Is it really Rin-chan?" ”

"What Rin-chan? Isn't that Chisato Wakai? The second person looked blankly at the last person, "Although she hasn't attended too many performances, if I'm not mistaken, she should be Chi-chan." ”

"The Rin sauce he said is Chi-chan, although I don't know why, but that's what the old rules (old fans) call Chi-chan." The first person patted the second person on the shoulder, "I just said that she looks familiar, and she is indeed the ...... of the members."

"Oh my God! What time is it today? The last person suddenly screamed and hurriedly went to look through his phone to see the date. It won't be ......"

"December 21st!" The other two were taken aback by him, and after glancing at each other, they said carefully.

"It's over, I didn't even tell her happy birthday just now!" The last person sighed in annoyance, and then as if he thought of something, he suddenly became bloody again, he took out his mobile phone, and walked to the side while pressing the number, "By the way, call and call!" ”

"Huh? Is it Chi-chan's birthday today? The second person looked in surprise as the last person who seemed to be enchanted and ran out of the crowd, "Then how can there be no performance of her birthday?" ”

"She's banned!" Facing the second person's puzzled face, the first person raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders, "The reason is unknown!" ”

The microphone man, who had woken up from his depression, squeezed in with a gossip on his face, and handed the microphone in his hand again, "Excuse me, is the person who went in just now also a member of Akihabara 48?" Did she ever do something wrong? Fight? Playing big? Going to an underground party? ”

The two glanced at each other tacitly, ignored him and walked away, and even secretly mixed him with his feet, leaving the microphone man who almost fell to jump on his feet alone, secretly scolding the damn dead house or something.

The metal doors of the elevator opened to both sides, and a large group of girls squeezed out of the small space, instantly filling the corridor at the back door of the Don Quixote Building, and a group of people laughed and crowded towards the door very slowly.

The girl who was squeezed in the middle by everyone had short hair that was kneaded into a bird's nest, and a few obvious lipstick marks on her white and delicate little face, although she was helpless, as long as she had eyes, she could find in her eyes that she could not hide the ease, gentleness, and disgusting sweetness of spoiling.

"Can you let me go? The hallway is so wide, so you can't walk! The short-haired girl squinted in disgust, glanced at the various humanoid pendants around her with her arms, hugging her waist, strangling her neck, and grabbing the corners of her clothes, and sighed loudly with a painful face, "You all have to go together for Mao?" Are you trying to bankrupt Young Master Ben? ”

"Who told you not to come to see us for so long? If you don't catch up, what should I do if you run away again? The girl who viciously took one of the short-haired girl's arms opened her mouth to show her sharp little tiger teeth, glaring at her with hatred.

As soon as the girl's words came out, they were immediately approved and affirmed by almost everyone, and the little heads almost broke their necks.

Standing on the edge of the comparison, the tall and thin girl used her arm to pass through the top of everyone's heads and slammed it on the head of the short-haired girl, "Rin, you money addict! We don't need you to spend money today, we will invite you! ”

Really? The young master thought that he had provoked the anger of the public, so this group of goods wanted to form a group to make a mistake, and now they are suddenly so good to me, they are really a little unaccustomed to it! Wait, the surname is white, you're not used to being a hairy guy at this time, hey? Don't just turn into a shaky m if you have nothing to do! Grave light!

"Rin (Sen) Chan, 13 years old, happy birthday!" As I dragged my way through the gate, I was suddenly stopped by the untidy sound of blessings.

There were many more fen at the door than before, and there were more than a dozen people standing at the front, holding bouquets and gifts in their hands, leaning forward in a posture of leaning forward, and outstretched their arms to hand me the things in their hands. And the guy standing at the front of them is Uncle Four-eyed Chicken who has not been seen for a long time.

The girls were also taken aback, and after glancing at each other, they let go of me one after another, and stood aside obediently, just pouting slightly unhappily, muttering "All the surprises are gone" or something.

At this time, Uncle Four-eyed Tianji took a step forward and took the lead in delivering the gift to me, "Rin-chan, whether you often participate in performances or not, you are the best in my heart, please continue to work hard in future performances, and we will continue to support you as always!" ”

I subconsciously took the gift he handed me, and after licking my lips blankly, my mood was so complicated that even I didn't know what it was like, so I could only respond in a dry tone, "Ahrigado, I ...... I will try harder! ”

After having the example of Uncle Four-Eyed, the others also gave gifts in turn, leaving many words that I didn't know how to respond to, and all I could do was make an awkward effort to look directly at them, and silly repeat thank you again and again.

The wooden door was pushed open from the inside, and the sound of joyful and noisy music and talking, along with colorful lights, carried out into the long corridor.

The young master walked out of the door without hurry, and sealed it back again with all this, and after looking around, he walked to the window at the end of the corridor, pushed open the closed window, and wantonly enjoyed the cool breeze on his face.

Girl, how much energy have these little tombs accumulated, why are they all like chicken blood, and they have to sing K after eating, do they have to eat a barbecue and press a rub? After chattering for so long, won't you feel tired!

"Rin-chan," in a soft, soft call, a warm little body pressed against my back like a plaster, rubbing my back with her fleshy little face, "Rin-chan ......"

I turned around, gently held out the little head hidden in my arms, and gently took it out with both hands, and naturally sorted out the messy Liuhai for her, pinched her little nose affectionately and shook it a few times, "Nan? What happened to you? Not happy? ”

"Well," Takahashi Minami muttered, her cheek pressed against my shoulder socket, looking up at me earnestly, her sad pupils overflowing with a little water stain, even more vulnerable in the moonlight outside the window, "Rin-chan, why do they treat us like clowns?" Aren't we trying enough? ”

I pressed my jaw against the top of her hair, subconsciously avoiding the distressed gaze, and looked at the wooden door I had just walked out, but my hands seemed to be self-conscious, one tightly wrapped around her weak body, and the other comforted her back up and down.

Again, this came from the river? Master, I don't understand it at all, hey? I don't have to say anything clearly, so how can I answer it, young master! Grave light! "Do you think you're a clown, then?"

"Nope! Not really! Takahashi's tone became excited, and my neck, which was sprayed by warm breathing, immediately ushered in an even hotter wetness, "Obviously, I was happy to talk to Rin Sauce before, and I can actually go to red and white, who knows...... Who knew that this was the case...... I...... We're not clowns! Why do they look at us like that?! ”

Oh yes! M's! Sister's! it! Crying again? Crying again! What to do? For Young Master Mao, I'm afraid of my sister's paper crying, but I want to meet this kind of guy who brings his own water pump, hey? O Satan! My God. Descend to the lightning and kill me!

"You...... Don't you ...... Don't cry! I panicked instantly, my eyes rolled back and forth uneasily, and I subconsciously grabbed my cuffs and rubbed them hard against Takahashi's face. …… Alright, Nan, look up and listen to me. ”

Takahashi Minami raised her little face full of tears, her eye makeup was cried into panda eyes, her red little nose kept sobbing, and her originally delicate and fair face, under my light and heavy wiping, showed obvious red traces, making her look embarrassed. "Rin-chan ......"

I took a deep breath and tried to suppress all the panic factors under the calm appearance, "Nan, Takahashi Minami, you are the captain of Group A, you are the example of everyone, absolutely and absolutely you can't admit defeat easily!" ”

Although she couldn't stop the tears flowing, she still held back her chokes, clenched her small fists at her side, and forced her little face into a red apple, "Well, I don't admit defeat, we want to sing our song and let everyone see that we are not clowns!" ”

One day in early December, Togasaki Tonobu appeared backstage at AKB48 Theater.

Teama captain Minami Takahashi fidgeted and looked at him restlessly. Because every time he suddenly appears, he will bring some exciting news to everyone. And today, when the singles are so dismal, she can't think of anything good that he can bring if she wants to break her head.

I only heard Togasaki Tomoshin say, "I just got the news. We've officially been invited to participate in this year's Red and White Song Battle! ”

"Red ...... White? "No one can believe their ears, especially in the second half of 2007, when everything is not going well.

When the backstage finally erupted in jubilation, Minami Takahashi, who was in tears and laughing with his teammates, believed that their hard days had finally come to an end.

But Yasu Akimoto, who was in another corner of the theater, didn't think so, because he already knew the real reason why "Red and White" invited AKB48 to participate.

With the gradual heating up of Akihabara culture, well-known female artists who claimed to like anime and games also appeared in the entertainment industry at that time, the most representative of which were Shoko Nakagawa and Leah Disan. Therefore, the 58th Red and White Song Battle set up an "Akihabara Link" for these two female stars. Since it is the "Akihabara Link", I also invited AKB48, the "most famous underground idol team" in Akihabara.

As the "red and white" approached, AKB48 began to receive more and more interviews. The girls, who have recovered from the excitement of not being able to close their mouths, are gradually discovering the problems in this.

Often some TV reporters, carrying cameras and microphones, rush over directly and say, "Come on, sell us a cute." ”

When they do interviews on TV, they are always said, "Akihabara forty-eight otaku, you are very powerful." ”

In that moment, Takahashi realized that not only her, not only AKB48, but even the fans who had supported them for two years were despised by this huge social machine.

It turns out that we are going to be harlequins in red and white!

Minami Takahashi was enraged.

All the members were enraged.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what you say about us now. Anyway, we're going to put on our own songs on red and white, and then you'll understand how ridiculous your deep-seated misunderstandings are. Then, we will wash away our own stigma with a sentence and let the whole society re-understand AKB48 and Akihabara.

We'll do it. Wait and see!

――――――――――――――

Her words were hurtful, she was trying to push me away, she was going to feel guilty when she said it, and those were my first reactions. And then I began to realize that I had now become her weakness, and I could always pierce her where it hurt the most. Maybe I'm not a comforting presence for her, but a terrible mortal enemy.

When she decided that she wanted to push me away completely, I didn't try to keep me, but agreed and accepted her apology, telling her that she didn't owe me anything again.

In fact, my heart is not painless, but I also feel relieved, for more than two years, I have suppressed too many negative feelings, and I can only give in when facing her. It's because I care about her, because of the forbearance in my character, and because I promised that as long as she doesn't let me leave, I will always be by her side. And now, she's letting me go, saying I don't need to keep my promise anymore and keep me away from her.

I should have given her time to calm down and tell her "if you need me, I'm always there", but it was her letting go this time that made me really approve of it.

I packed up everything about her on the computer, compressed it into a compressed bag, and put it in a USB stick, bought a lot of goodies, tried to fill the gaps in my chest, and then did what I had to do as usual.
