Early in the morning of July 8th, Zhou Xiao arrived at the theater in Akihabara, because today is the opening day, so the members did not come to the theater but waited for a while to go directly to the general election announcement venue of Akasaka BLITZ.

"How is she?" When he arrived at the theater, Zhou Xiao asked after seeing the staff.

The "she" in his mouth refers to...... Takahashi Minami.

The first AKB general election in the previous life, I was very sick, and I was still on a drip after the general election began, until the second place was announced, and the person who was put up when she was needed to appear was Yuko Oshima, and the girl was very patient on the stage at that time, and it was a very classic picture of the first general election.

Zhou Xiao, who has a prophet in this life, began to be careful about Yuko Oshima's body two weeks before the general election, just to ensure that the girl can participate in the general election in a healthy state.

But what I didn't expect was that the person who had the problem was still there, but it became Minami Takahashi.

The staff of the show said that Minami Takahashi was not in good health on the day the AKB single was released, and several people heard her coughing, but the girl insisted that she was fine, so the staff didn't take it too seriously, and everyone believed in her very much.

But I didn't expect that Minami Takahashi, who was originally just a minor issue, was good and bad in the two weeks before the general election, and in the end, on the eve of the general election, she still fell ill.

With Takahashi Minami's character, if she didn't really can't help it, she wouldn't be absent from anything, such as this time, her illness seems to be a little stricter than Zhou Xiao's previous life Yuko Oshima, because she couldn't bear it before she was sent to the hospital in the middle of the night.

"It's not clear yet, and there hasn't been any news since last night." A staff member said.

After packing up some equipment on the Akihabara side, Zhou Xiao took the bus to Akasaka BLITZ with the staff, and got off at the destination. The girls are also arriving, and most of the current members commute by public transportation, and only those who come from Nagoya come by company car at the hotel.

Greeting the members, Zhou Xiao also walked into the theater, and just two steps away, another car drove over, but surprisingly, this car turned out to be not the company's commuter car or taxi, but a ...... Hospital car?

If it's a big concert. There will definitely be an ambulance on standby near the venue, but this general election, Akasaka BLITZ is just a small venue, and it is not necessary to prepare an ambulance, so it cannot be said that the results of the general election are too amazing, for fear that someone will induce a heart attack.

Therefore, it is clear that this car was not found by the operation.

The ambulance pulled up to a stop in front of the theater, and then the door was pushed open, and a doctor and another middle-aged woman appeared in front of everyone. In the middle of the two, there is a stretcher, on which lies a girl.

"Takamina-san!" The girls around Zhou Xiao all called out.

Zhou Xiao also saw it and was sent by ambulance. It turned out to be Minami Takahashi!

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiao walked up and asked.

Zhou Xiao...... Brother, I'm ...... It's okay, I can ...... later" Takahashi Nan on the stretcher wanted to sit up after seeing Zhou Xiao.

"Oh my God, you're so strong. If you let you play like this, I'll drown in saliva tomorrow, driver. Drive back to the hospital! Zhou Xiao shouted.

"Xiao Nan, you see Zhou Xiao said so, let's go back to the hospital." Minami Takahashi's mother said with worry written on her face.

"Nope! Brother Zhou Xiao! Please ...... Let me play! Takahashi Minami also seems to have an idea in his heart, so this sentence is very firm.

"Takamina, listen to me, I know you want to play very, very much, but you have to understand that not being able to play once does not mean anything, and your health is also very important, and you can't let you fall into the root cause of a disease that may affect your working life in the future for the sake of one appearance!" Zhou Xiao said.

"But...... It's so important today...... "Takahashi Minami still wants to stand up.

"No matter how important it is, it's not as important as your own body." Zhou Xiaodao.

"Then I...... Only in ...... Announce my ...... Is it okay to play in the rankings? Takahashi Minami said slowly, only playing when announcing his ranking, it should be the same way Zhou Xiao played in his previous life, Yuko Oshima.

"No......" Zhou Xiao still wanted to refuse the girl, but looking at Takahashi Minami's appearance, he couldn't say any more, because he saw the appearance of the girl in front of him, although she could only lie on the stretcher, but her eyes were burning with fire-like fighting spirit and persistence.

"Tell her about it, too." Zhou Xiao had no choice but to ask for help from the girl's mother.

"Zhou Xiaosang, if I could do it, I wouldn't have been grinded by her and came here in an ambulance." Takahashi's mother said helplessly.

"Doctor......" Zhou Xiao asked for help from the doctor next to Takahashi Minami.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao, I'm here too...... It stands to reason that she should never have agreed to come out, but she was too insistent...... "The doctor was also embarrassed.

"No, doctor, I don't need you to think about Takahashi's thoughts, I just need you to tell me from the perspective of a doctor, whether she can appear here, and whether she can come on stage later, if you even have a medical team here, can you guarantee that this appearance will at least not make her condition worse, and may even affect her recovery in the future!?" Zhou Xiaoyan asked.

"If you can protect her as closely as possible, monitor her condition at all times, and treat her in the background, I think it will be no problem." The doctor thought about it for a moment and finally nodded.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiao did not agree immediately, but hesitated for a long time before finally saying: "Okay, I know, don't worry about money, use the best medicine and treatment plan, if you are not enough, let the hospital come to support her, and ensure her health in the future!" ”

"Yes!" The doctor said from the side.

"Someone to help me carry the stretcher!" Zhou Xiao stood up and shouted, a security guard who was about the same height as him ran over, Zhou Xiao and this security guard carefully lifted Takahashi Minami into the Akasaka BLITZ, in fact, it was not necessary to be so grand, Takahashi Minami's height of one meter four or eight was so thin, Zhou Xiao estimated that he had no problem carrying three or four alone, and the two tall and strong men carefully carried the stretcher, and their hands could hardly feel the weight.

Along the way, the members watched all the way. Zhou Xiao directly carried Takahashi Nan into the most spacious and comfortable waiting room that was originally intended for him, and then handed over the work of taking care of Takahashi Nan to the doctor and the girl's mother.

Before leaving the room, Zhou Xiao walked up to Takahashi Nan and said, "Rest in peace, although I let you come, but the time for you to appear on the stage is only the time to announce the ranking at the end and need to go on stage to thank you, and leave the rest to me." ”

Takahashi Nan looked like he wanted to say something, but Zhou Xiao didn't give the girl such a chance, he continued: "This is already the biggest concession I can make. If you still want to get an inch, I'll send you back to the hospital right away, will I hear it? ”

Perhaps seeing Zhou Xiao's equally persistent and firm eyes, Gao Qiao Nan nodded and said softly, "I'm sorry for you, Brother Zhou Xiao." ”

"It's obvious that we're bothering you, okay, let's get some rest." Zhou Xiao finally comforted the girl, and then got up and left the room, he had to leave. There's a lot of work for him to do.

Zhou Xiao, who came out of the lounge, went directly to the stage, where the members of AKB were rehearsing.

"Takamina, is it okay?" Atsuko Maeda saw Zhou Xiao coming over, and asked very worriedly.

"The doctor said he would take care of her. Rest assured. Zhou Xiao said.

Maeda nodded, looking a little distracted.

"I'm sorry she let her play like this." Zhou Xiao said to Maeda.

"He asked for it, didn't he? It has nothing to do with Brother Zhou Xiao. Maeda said.

"But...... No matter what, I'm still using ......."

"No, Brother Zhou Xiao, don't say that. We definitely didn't think so! Maeda said loudly.

"It was Takamina who insisted on it, that's why you let her play, we all know very well." Yona Kojima also said.

"No matter what. It's all my problem, not taking care of you. Zhou Xiao said, what he thought was that he had seen Yuko Oshima before, and the girl who was driven to the stage looked pitiful, and Takahashi would be like this this year, he cared too much about Yuko, so he ignored the other members, which made Takahashi Minami encounter such a problem.

"Sick of this kind of thing...... There's no way, Brother Zhou Xiao, what are you blaming yourself? Maeda said that it was impossible for them to know the real reason why Zhou Xiao blamed himself at the moment.

"Brother Zhou Xiao, if you say it again...... I'm going to be angry! Maeda said.

Zhou Xiao glanced at Maeda in surprise.

In his previous life, he was a Yuko Oshima push, although he also liked Maeda, but he didn't have the same deep feelings for Yuko Oshima as he did for him, in this life, although he still kept putting her in the center position, but everyone could feel that Zhou Xiao liked Yuko Oshima more, put people he didn't like so much in the center, and put people he liked very much in the second place, this state was more strange than the state in which Yasu Akimoto occasionally showed that he didn't appreciate Yuko Oshima so much in his previous life.

It's just that this strangeness is usually only circulated among the members, and the rice is not particularly clear.

And Maeda, as one of the parties involved, will definitely not be happy about this situation, obviously he is standing in the center, but Zhou Xiao has always maintained a certain distance from her, and people's feelings are very subtle, especially in her current position, Maeda sometimes even thinks that maybe when, he will be completely betrayed.

The relationship between the two is so delicate, and they usually don't have much contact, so when Tian Tian seemed to be a little coquettish and said, "I'm going to be angry", Zhou Xiao was very surprised, this girl looked like this, which Zhou Xiao had never seen before.

"Brother Zhou Xiao, we all know that you are attentive to AKB and to our members, so please don't say that, okay? Because that's the biggest distrust of us. Maeda said earnestly.

"Good...... All right. Zhou Xiao hesitated for a while and finally nodded and said, he was a little frightened by Maeda, the girl in front of him was very, very strict when she said this, he was a little frightened.

"That's right, Brother Zhou Xiao has to be well-behaved." Maeda suddenly reached out and patted Zhou Xiao's head.

"Hey!" Zhou Xiao shouted exaggeratedly.

Although Maeda's words can only represent herself, but from the girl's body, Zhou Xiao did see that most of the members felt about herself, Maeda was not the closest member to Zhou Xiao, but she said so. Basically, it can also represent the general thoughts of the members.

Time passed quickly in the intensive preparations for the general election, Zhou Xiao, who said that she was going to do her work before coming out of Takahashi's room, found that Takahashi's work was not easy to do after personally participating in it, although most of the work was attended by staff, but Zhou Xiao had a lot of work to replace Takahashi Minami.

First of all, there is the question of the position of the song, there are several songs to be sung before the general election, and in the position of the single, Takahashi's position is very important, so it is necessary to find someone else from the back row to replace the girl's position, and not all positions have one person to do it, usually one person serves one song.

After finding someone who can serve on your behalf. Zhou Xiao went to the dance teacher to temporarily teach these members the dance of Takahashi Minami's position, if these members were originally in the selection of songs, they also needed to find someone to replace their original dance......

After doing these things, Zhou Xiao began to review the dance and singing parts of each member, and then the order of the members' appearances...... After all these things were done, the meal had already begun to enter the venue, and the preparation of the members was quickened a little faster, and before the stage, there was Minami Takahashi to do it. The most important thing needs Zhou Xiao to do.

"Assemble and assemble, let's make a circle!" Zhou Xiao shouted loudly, of course, this work was done by Takahashi Nan in the past.

Members of three groups, plus a dozen graduate students. The first and second students of SKE are very many of them, and about 90 people together gather in the corridor, and the only one who is missing is Takahashi Minami.

"Has everyone arrived?" Zhou Xiao shouted loudly. After 2011, AKB's circular array already needed electric horns, and now it has a circular array of more than 90 people. I haven't used it yet.

"It's all here? It's time for the round formation! Zhou Xiao said: "Today Takamina is a little sick and can't play, I originally wanted to find a member to do the round formation......" Zhou Xiao said, he originally wanted Kojima Yona or Akimoto to do it, Akimoto is the same as the soul of Group K, and his importance in the team is not inferior to Takahashi Minami. As for Yona Kojima, her personality and image are very special, and it would be fun to let her shout the round array.

"It's good that Brother Zhou Xiao is here to do it." "It's better than Takamina!" Many members said that this was of course a joke.

"In that case, I'm welcome, everyone please hold hands." Zhou Xiao said.

As soon as he finished saying this, he got into the other two small hands in his hands, looked left and right, it turned out that Mayou and Airi didn't know when they got to Zhou Xiao's side, at the moment they were standing by Zhou Xuan's side like a protector, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old little girl, such a small hand could only barely hold Zhou Xiao's three fingers, Rao is so, the two girls still held Zhou Xiao's brother's hand tightly, and there was absolutely no intention to let go.

Zhou Xiao began the routine speech before the round formation: "Today is a very special day, some people may still be a little unacceptable to the general election, but slowly, I believe you can get used to it, in short, try to enjoy this day!" AKB…… fortyeight！ ”

“fortyeight！” All the members shouted in unison.

"Thank you for your care today!" Zhou Xiaodao.

After doing the round formation, the members began to prepare for the debut, and Zhou Xiao left the members and went to Takahashi Minami's lounge.

"How's it going?" Zhou Xiao, who entered the lounge, asked.

"It doesn't matter anymore." Takahashi Minami lay there, still with the hanging bottle on his arm, and said in a somewhat weak voice.

It's not that it's bitter, but Zhou Xiao knows very well that such a thing, AKB will encounter some in the next few years, such as AKB's first dome concert, which was very bad on the first day, Yasu Akimoto said that this was the worst scene of AKB, and the members worked hard the next day, Maeda was once in a breathing predicament and could hardly appear, and Takahashi Minami was not good, in the case of Maeda and Oshima were very hard, she was also holding on all the time to complete the normal concert.

Among them, Zhou Xiao was most impressed by the fact that a staff member was still saying on the front foot: "Takamina looks terrible too", but after a few seconds, Zhou Xiao heard Takahashi Minami's energetic cry in the DVD, and the cry sounded like nothing wrong with it, if it weren't for the staff who saw her weakness before taking the stage, they would have thought that she was as energetic as in her voice.

This is AKB, don't look at them doing what is claimed to be the most untalented job in the entertainment industry, but perhaps because of this, they have the best efforts in the entertainment industry.

And such AKB, their first general election is finally about to begin, compared with the general election in Zhou Xiao's previous life, what kind of ranking will be changed in this general election?

"The members are going to play, let's go backstage too." Zhou Xiao squatted in front of Gao Qiaonan's stretcher and said softly.

"I'm sorry for you, Brother Zhou Xiao." The girl whispered.

Of course, this is not the plot of "The girl is terminally ill, and her last dream is to be on the stage again, but Zhou Xiao was still moved by Takahashi Minami's persistence at this moment. (To be continued......)
