"Happy birthday to all of you! Nogizaka's birthday festival! Himura, who had just received a series of compliments from Matsumura, Shiraishi and Takayama, excitedly shouted out the theme of today's program recording.

The Nogizaka Birthday Festival is a congratulatory part by playing a surprise VTR to the members born in the same month, and the members who celebrated their birthdays in May are Reika Sakurai, Nanase Nishino, and Hoshimi Mibu, which is why Hoshimi was able to participate in "Where is Nogizaka?" The reason for the recording of the show, although she herself did not know about it.

Hoshimi, who was sitting in the corner of the second row, had a premonition when he heard the theme of the show, and when he heard Shiraku read his name, he immediately showed a surprised expression.

Shiraku explained to the members, "I'm going to play a congratulatory VTR for the three of them, and it's a hidden VTR. I borrowed a lot of photos from my childhood from the three of them and made a VTR, so let's get started! ”

The first to play was Sakurai Reika's VTR, looking at the captain's VTR Hoshimi was a little surprised, and no one at the scene cooperated to shout "cute", but when the VTR played the link of Sakurai's swimming, there was a voice of admiration, is this the majesty of the captain?

Maybe it's because I've been participating in "Nogizaka is here!" lately. In addition to the few staff members at the recording site, there are only members, and everyone has become more active and relaxed, which will inevitably seem constrained when recording a formal group.

Before she could think about it, a photo of Sakurai making a mischievous face appeared on the screen, and the members seemed to be a little more relaxed, and the sound of heckling gradually emerged. When Sakurai's VTR playback ends, the two MCs begin to routinely question Sakurai based on the content of the video.

Hoshimi's afterglow caught a glimpse of Nishino's hands suddenly clasped on his knees, and the smile that had just been revealed by Sakurai's playful photos was gone, leaving only closed lips and a stiff figure, which made her a little strange.

Hoshimi was about to whisper to the side of her head, but the camera swept her back to her position and sat upright. She noticed that when Shiraku counted Sakurai's skills, Nishino took a light breath, shrugged his shoulder carefully, his eyes wandering, and suddenly understood what was going on.

"Hopefully one is Nishino." After asking Sakurai, Shiraku immediately leads the topic to Nishino and motions for the staff to play Nishino's VTR.

Hoshimi noticed that Nishino responded with a careful smile, but the fingers that were originally clasped together were twisted together, and the camera was obviously zoomed in to only record Nishino's expression, she didn't think much about it, put her hand on Nishino's knee, and gently held the tip of Nishino's index finger that was red by Nishino, but she didn't pay attention to Nishino's expression and the other party's hand that shook back, and looked at the VTR played seriously.

"Lovely!" Hoshimi's right hand hooked Nishino's index finger, looking at the cute imp in an orange strap dress that appeared on the screen, and the members responded quickly, and the stiff fingers that were hooked by Hoshimi were obviously relaxed, and her afterglow caught a glimpse of Nishino's face with a hint of smile and pleasure brought by memories, and laughed.

When the photo of Nishino and his brother was played, Nishino couldn't help but pull his hand to cover the corners of his mouth, and the happiness around him rose sharply, and even Hoshimi, who was focused on the side, couldn't help noticing, when she was about to reappear with her hand back to her side, the back of her right hand was suddenly pressed by Nishino's free left hand.

Hoshimi glanced sideways at Nishino, who was still in a square posture, watching intently at the clip of him dancing with his brother when he was a child, as if he didn't notice the sudden shaking of hands between the two. Hearing the exclamation that sounded again, Hoshimi hurriedly refocused her gaze on the screen, and the scene of Nishino eating udon immediately made her laugh.

The temperature attached to the back of the hand rose sharply, and Nishino's palm secretly oozed fine sweat because of shyness, but the shy owner didn't stop it, and the owner of the back of the hand that was pressed was completely attracted by the child eating udon at the moment, and he was unaware of the hot temperature coming from the back of his hand.

'It's over. Hoshimi smiled and watched the famous scene of Nishino eating udon and sleeping, and suddenly felt a violent sense of crisis. 'I didn't know much about this body before I was eight years old, so what if it was different from my previous life?' Wouldn't my VTR be fun? ’

"The other person is Nana who dives, and I don't even know what my nickname is, so I knew that I should ask Shirakami Yuki more often, maybe she knows better than myself." ’

Hoshimi suddenly fell into a whirlpool of uneasiness and anxiety, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to the interaction between Nishino and MC, and began to frantically retrieve his experience before the age of eight in his brain, but the more this time, the more his brain shut down.

"See you next star."

"Hmm..."Hoshimi exhaled secretly, his free left hand gently rubbing back and forth against the crease of his skirt.

"Hoshimi was born on May 20, 1998 as the only daughter of the Hoshimi family. When he was one year old, he was actually a little crying bag.,Very temperamental.,As long as you encounter something unsatisfactory, you will fall to the ground angrily and roll.,And it's very clingy.,It's a little kid who likes to pester his mother.。

When she was a child, she liked photos very much, as long as she was given a stack of photos, she could lie down at the table and play for a long time, so she left a lot of photos to accompany her mother at work.

Although he was not a picky eater, he often had a fever and sneezed when he was three years old, so he learned to swim in order to exercise. It's a very active presence in the very class when I'm in kindergarten.,I especially like to pester good-looking female teachers.。 Sports have always been my strength, and when I was in elementary school, I was able to finish in the top five in the winter marathon, and I was very persistent in whatever I did.

In the days when Hoshimi gradually grew up healthy, there was another big event. When Hoshimi was eight years old, he was in a serious car accident when he went to participate in a long-awaited garden tour, and after being rescued, he was still in a coma for several days, and he was even diagnosed by the doctor who didn't know how many hours he could last in the end, but a few days later, Hoshimi woke up unexpectedly.

Hoshimi, who successfully survived the car accident, spent two years of rehabilitation before she was able to walk and run and jump normally, and it was precisely because of the two years of rehabilitation that her arm strength increased, and she occasionally went to the boxing gym near her home to learn boxing.

At the same time, Hoshimi was called by her mother as 'the god of song who was delayed by the exam', and Hoshimi, who was particularly focused on writing homework, would always hide in the bedroom and sing a song before the exam, before picking up the pen and concentrating on writing, and her famous work was to make up this song by herself: I want to take a hundred final exams at the end of the term, then it must be, hew, it's very powerful, woo, but the reality is a bit bad......

In the second year of junior high school, Hoshimi stood out in Nogizaka's audition, and is now active as the youngest member. ”

Hoshimi looked at VTR, and finally let go of her heart, these stories almost completely matched her memories except for the timeline, which made her settle down a lot. And accidentally seeing a video about his rehabilitation period also made Hoshimi realize for the first time that his mother had been hiding in the corner and watching him silently, obviously saying that he was busy with work and left halfway every time, but in fact, he was just hiding.

After watching the video, Shiraku asked, "Hoshimi, I got such an evaluation from my mother, a student who was beaten by a 'Chinese language teacher, loved by a music teacher', why would he sing before writing homework?" ”

Hoshimi covered her mouth in surprise, she hadn't noticed this before, and she didn't know about her mother's secret filming, so she could only fool and say: "This is a way to self-motivate, just like Nogizaka has to form a circle before every event, I think life needs such a sense of ritual." ”

"But that song is very interesting, and I can challenge the high notes in the future."

"I think so." Hoshimi nodded in agreement.

Then Shiraku asked with some surprise, "I've had a car accident, is there no problem now?" Still dancing or something, right? ”

"Well, because I have received good treatment, there is no problem now, and I haven't been sick much in the past few years, and my body is also very healthy."

Hoshimi said, walked to the front of the stage according to the instructions of Shiraku and jumped twice, and was about to return to his seat again, when he heard the familiar background music suddenly sounding at the scene, and the staff also pushed the birthday cake out of the backstage.

"Because on the day of the show's broadcast, it happened to be Hoshimi's birthday, so I wish Hoshimi a happy birthday in advance." Shiraku and Himura took the cart and waved as they explained.

Hoshimi, who was surrounded by the members in the middle, was very surprised, covering the corners of her mouth but couldn't stop the overflowing joy in her eyes, she raised her eyebrows and looked around at the members who were smiling knowingly, only to feel that the small candle lit on the cake pushed out was very similar to the steaming bun that I saw in Inoue's hand in the morning, with a seductive fireworks.

She seemed to suddenly understand why Ikuta was attracted to the small meat buns, and the warm heat and the flavor of the minced meat when peeled off were not more pleasing than anything else.

"Thank you." Hoshimi bowed and thanked him very seriously, and the girl's voice was crisp and beautiful like broken jade falling into a porcelain dish, with a hint of restrained coquettishness and precious joy.

"Make a wish, blow out the candles." Hashimoto and Shiraishi stood beside her, moving the cart in front of her, and the cake was flickering with bright red candles, like winking and smiling at Hoshimi.

"I have three wishes, the first one, I hope that the second order will sell well.

The second, Hope Nogizaka goes all the way.

The third ......"

Hoshimi clasped his hands into fists against his chin, closed his eyes and had renewed expectations for the first time since waking up from the car accident, the first time he didn't want to care about the so-called parallel world, to care about other possibilities, he just wanted to impulse himself once.

Thinking about it, she opened her eyes, and the light was crushed and sprinkled under the candlelight, and the starry dark eyes seemed to be filled with a trace of water vapor in her eyes, which was clearer and brighter. She took a deep breath and blew out the candle.

The candle went out, and Hoshimi raised his hands in the air without any image and shouted, "Eat the cake!" Happy birthday to me! ”

'The third wish is that I have the ability to protect the smiles of those who love me. ‘
