"-I, the things that are difficult for strong people, I don't want to do them..."

Fingers lightly stroked the last syllable, Qiu Yang was a little playful, and sighed softly.

This song was the first song related to Nogizaka that he listened to after knowing the identities of Hashimoto-san and Azuka's idols.

At first, he just felt that the melody and lyrics were very much to his liking, but then after learning the background of the song and watching Hashimoto-san's curtain call live at the graduation concert, he added some different feelings to this song.

During a casual conversation, he also asked Nanami Hashimoto about his thoughts on graduation and even quitting the circle.

She bowed her head and was silent for a while, then said softly, "At least I don't regret it." ”

After a long time, she raised her head and smiled brightly, raised her hand and gestured a "V", just like the victory gesture at her side that day, swaying gently.

"At least my life after that will be just as exciting!" She blinked, and for a moment at this moment, it seemed that she was back on that stage, "It's not bad to know you." ”

Since that conversation, he has listened to the song constantly, chewing on the mood that Nanami Hashimoto might have had at the time.

At the same time, the more I listened to it, the more I felt that the lyrics were also a bit about myself at the moment.

So, when it came to singing a song by Nogizaka today, he decided on this song without hesitation, including the thousand words and thousands of words he wanted to say after Shikashima returned:

- Asuka-chan, I hope you can forgive me for not taking this step on my own initiative.

- I don't want to force you to be difficult.

The applause from the audience pulled Qiu Yang out of his thoughts. He looked around, only to realize that he was still recording at the scene.

Everyone sitting on the stage looked at him with a look of "I can't imagine you still have this hand".

Turning his head to see the reaction of the saury mulberry, he just happened to be hit by his hammer head-on.

"You guy! Why didn't you show it earlier! He pretended to be angry, but the folds in the corners of his eyes were wrinkled. I also played Burmese memes three times, you know how boring it is! It's a business nuisance! ”

The laughter of the audience also made the sad atmosphere brought by the music dissipate a little.

"-I want to ask, Qiu Yangsang, why did you choose this song?" Nengnian Reina on the side suddenly asked softly, which surprised the saury Sando a little - until now, she has only said a handful of words, and she is basically a little mascot.

"Because I have some emotions of my own."

Qiu Yang was still a little immersed in the emotions just now, lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, and didn't say much, judging the lively appearance of the two of them who had just actively picked up the stalk.

"You guy! How cool is it going to be! "The saury hammered him again, not only to cover up some troublesome topics that may be brought in the future, but also to save Nengnian and Qiu Yang in his current state - it is simply a killer of two topics.

Qiu Yang returned the guitar to Staff Sang, and was about to return to his seat when he was suddenly stopped by the hostess.

"Qiu Yangsang stayed."

Qiu Yang turned around a little unexpectedly - he thought that his part of this group had all ended, but he didn't expect it to be extraordinary.

"Actually, we also prepared a surprise for Qiu Yangsang today."

As soon as he heard this, he immediately had some bad premonitions.

"—We invited a member of Nogizaka 46 to the scene to meet with Qiu Yangsang."

"Wow-" There was a cry of envy from the audience, many people in the audience more or less know or like one or two stars in the entertainment industry, and it is always enviable to get close to idols.

Qiu Yang is a little embarrassed, he is an out-and-out pseudo-fan, and he is probably not familiar with a little idol, but it will be exposed!

Seeing the curtain slowly rising, his white calves were gradually revealed, but his nervous mood suddenly disappeared.

- Anyway, it's definitely not Asuka Saito who comes out now, but it doesn't matter who it is.

……

……

"I'm pushing Asuka Saito alone."

Horiwei, who was sitting on the backstage side of the waiting room, had already anticipated the embarrassment that might happen for a while when she heard this.

- Really! Azuka, why did she suddenly rest! Otherwise, most of this group is promoted by her, wouldn't it just happen to realize the dream and the effect of the show exploded?

Recently, Asuka Saito and Yuki Yoda were both on vacation, so she took the initiative to ask the operation to participate in this special group - the first few guests on this show were popular actresses such as Jun Arimura, Kanna Hashimoto, Suzu Hirose, etc., and Horiwei Yangna, who wants to turn to the direction of actresses after graduation, cherishes every exposure opportunity to attend alone.

- She stood at the top by mistake when she debuted, but since then, she has stumbled and gone through ups and downs all the way, and she is particularly familiar with the warmth and coldness of the entertainment industry. More than anyone else, I want to have my own place in the entertainment industry after graduation.

Qiu Yang's version of "What is Difficult for a Strong Man" is more gloomy and gloomy than Nanami Hashimoto's version, less stubborn and unwilling to be a strong man, and more like a helpless compromise.

Horimi Nana, who was listening quietly in the background, almost shed tears - I can't say how beautiful the song is, but she seems to be able to resonate with that helplessness.

She is also looking forward to seeing this special fan more and more.

"-Hori-san, you're ready to appear."

She took a deep breath, as if she was looking forward to the opening of the live, looking forward to her ordinary group appearance.

"-Welcome Nogizaka 46's Nai Hori!"

When she saw this fan, she was unexpectedly thin and delicate, dressed in black, not like an idol, but like a second- or third-tier model.

- But what kind of idol department is the person, and it should indeed be this image.

"Hori-......" The man's outstretched hand seemed to hesitate, "Hello, Miona-chan, nice to meet you." ”

- Expected cold correspondence. However, Horimi Ona is not quite the type who is willing to force vitality and enliven the atmosphere, so she just gently held the outstretched hand and smiled faintly.

"Qiu Yangsang's singing just now is very good, I almost cried when I heard Monkey Li."

She gently let go of her hand, put it next to her big watery eyes and rubbed it, looking like she was about to cry.

"......" felt the business status of the active idols up close for the first time, and Qiu Yang was really impressed by their business ability, and was speechless for a while.

"You! Give me a handshake ticket! The saury on the side struck with a hammer again.

After that, there are some regular Q&A interactions and group photos. If it weren't for Horiwei's final propaganda needs, Qiu Yang had no doubt that this paragraph would be cut across the board.

Hori returned backstage with some resentment and loss mixed in.

- What! Are you so unattractive? Is it just because it's not a bird that you receive such a cold reception!

How did she know that Qiu Yang was really just not very familiar with her, so he was a little restrained, not to mention that most of the people in this show Asuka Saito would watch it, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.

And to be honest, she's not the only one who feels resentful because of such a cold reception...

……

……

At the end of the program's recording, Qiu Yang walked out of the Fuji TV building a little tired, and he felt that he was about to fall out of place again.

"Qiu Yangsang?"

He was thinking about whether to go straight back to Asakusa from Odaiba to rest, when he stepped out of the door when he was suddenly stopped by a familiar voice.

Looking back, it was Nishino Nanase-san, who was surprised to say hello to the agent who accompanied her and walked over to talk to him.

"Nishino-san? How did you end up here? ”

- I felt a little stupid after asking, but she was a popular actress, and it was even more strange to be here by herself in comparison.

"Why am I here, of course I have a job." Nishino Nanase looked a little annoyed and waved his small pink fist. "Is Qiu Yangsang cursing me for not being able to get a job?"

"Where, where, then I still hope that Nishino-san will become a big actress as soon as possible."

"What about you, you're not going to be waiting for me, are you?" Nishino smiled playfully, revealing his white front teeth, which was very sultry.

"Not really." Qiu Yang was a little deliberately puzzled, "I was invited to do a show today." ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and added: "By the way, there is also your previous colleague, Horimiyang Nasan, who has a small co-performance with her this time." ”

"Eh——?" Nanase Nishino was a little surprised, "Isn't Qiu Yangsang a student of Todai?" Or is it a professional fangroup? ”

"This... It's a long story..."Qiu Yang scratched his head. To be honest, he's a little tired right now, and he doesn't really want to explain his ambitions at length.

"What's a long story!" Nanase Nishino was a little dissatisfied with Qiu Yang's perfunctory. "Qiu Yangsang promised me last time to help me guide him, but now it's perfunctory again!"

She seemed to pout a little aggrieved: "I thought Qiu Yangsang and Nana were already friends." ”

- Ah......hhh What can I do......

Qiu Yang had a little headache, he knew that Nishino Nanase and Hashitori had a very good relationship, and Tian Yuxi, who he was going to deal with often, also had a personal relationship with her - in short, the person in front of him was always a master who could not be offended.

"No, no, it's definitely a friend, I'm just a little tired after recording the show today." Qiu Yang rubbed his eyes, as if he was really about to fall asleep.

"That's it......" Nanase Nishino was still a little unwilling, "Nana, I'll ask you to go to a yakiniku restaurant I am familiar with to recover your vitality!" Every time I used to go to a concert and I was exhausted, I would go to eat with Azuka and the others, and I was immediately full of energy! He also mentioned the name of the bird with some scheming.

Sure enough, when Qiu Yang heard the name of Asuka Saito, his spirit was indeed lifted and he began to think about this invitation.

On the other hand, he also wants to do more than less - he is about to go to Hokkaido, so before he goes, hurry up and end the promise made by Nanase Nishino.

"Yes, yes... But..."

He looked around, after all, he had some indelible shadows on Odaiba and Fuji TV.

"It's always a little inappropriate to meet Nishino-san in private."

- That's a problem. Nanase Nishino looked back in the direction of her agent, and her agent-san had already cast a warning look at her - although there was no ban on love, she was on the rise in her career, so she should try to minimize similar news exposure.

At this time, she suddenly caught a familiar figure stepping out of the elevator and preparing to walk towards the door.

"Miona-chan!"

She called out to the figure as loudly as she could, causing Horimi to shudder.

"Huh? Nana Sai? What a coincidence......"

Although the two are in different periods, as members of the front row, they have overcome obstacles to open up a way forward for the group, and the emotional foundation is still very good.

It's just that after graduation, they are busy with their careers in different fields, and they hardly get along alone.

Naturally, the relationship is not so good, and if no one stops at such a distance, let alone some shy pigeons.

- When things go wrong, there must be demons. Horimi Ona felt a little furious as she walked towards the pigeon.

"Miona-chan, are you free for a while, let's go have a barbecue together, the same one we've been going to before."

Nana Sai said the invitation in a super-fast voice that Horimi had never heard before, and she didn't react.

"Huh? Free is free, but ......"

"It's good to have time! Then you can go with us, my friend, you have just met, and it will not be embarrassing. ”

- Friends? New to each other? Going together?

With so much information at once, Horino was still a little confused, and heard Nanase Nishino turn her head and say to her "friend":

"-Qiu Yangsang, so you don't have to worry about it, right? Let's take my agent's nanny car over in a moment! ”

Hearing the familiar name, she followed Nanase Nishino's gaze and immediately understood the reason for Nanasai's abnormality.

- What the hell! It turns out that you are the "demon"!
