Chapter 82: A Chance Encounter Is a Foregone Conclusion

I just became a member of the selection team, and I have to take a break to prepare for the next episode of "Nogizaka, where's it?" , which can be described as an idol version of 'pain and happiness'.

Although Hoshimi's seat is still in the second row, it has moved from the corner to the center, achieving her lofty goal of 'first C', which is a qualitative leap.

The first broadcast was the part where Rina Ikoma and Himura took the Himura nemesis trio to the mall to buy clothes, and Hoshimi only felt familiar for a while when he looked at the clothes Ikoma was wearing on the screen, and when he saw Hashimoto appear in the camera five minutes later, he suddenly remembered the events of that day.

-------------------------------------

That day, Nanami Hashimoto and Hoshimi Mibu had just come out of the hospital after a check-up, one reviewed the lumbar spine, the other checked the shoulder and neck, and after putting the report sheet and medicine in the backpack, Hoshimi rarely pestered Hashimoto to accompany her shopping.

Because of the rapid increase in height in the past few months, Hoshimi wanted to buy new clothes, so he dragged Hashimoto straight to the Lafayette Department Store in Harajuku. Originally, the protagonist was supposed to be Hoshimi, but after she cut through the mess quickly and bought clothes from several stores she frequented in less than half an hour, the protagonist quickly switched to Hashimoto, and Hoshimi also gloriously became a bag bearer with excellent arm strength.

As soon as the two of them turned to the third floor to look at the two stores, Hashimoto's tall figure instantly caught the eyes of Rina Ikoma, who was going downstairs on the escalator.

Hoshimi put down his phone and complained to Hashimoto complainingly: "I just told my mother that I was going to buy a few clothes and go back later, and she actually asked me why I suddenly bought clothes. You said my pants are almost cropped, shouldn't I buy them? ”

Hashimoto covered his mouth and laughed, and patiently listened to her continue: "I was with her because the clothes in the closet were a little ill-fitting, and she had to come to buy them for me, so don't lose her face. Do I have bad eyesight? ”

Hoshimi angrily beat the prop model in the clothing store, almost breaking the prop's plastic finger, "Why am I not fashionable?" Is it a shame to buy clothes? I don't like the ones she bought, and she'll force me to wear them. I accidentally complained before, saying that the dress she bought me was ugly, but she said that the skirt didn't think I was ugly, where am I ugly? ”

Hashimoto listened to Hoshimi's whispering while smiling, while picking out clothes, nodding from time to time to indicate that he was listening, but was misunderstood by the angry Hoshimi: "Nanami just nodded!" I see it! ”

"I didn't mean that...... Hashimoto covered his mouth and smiled to interrupt Hoshimi's angry statement, and was about to appease the fried cat next to him, but the next second he was wrapped around his waist by a hand that accidentally appeared and hugged him.

"Nanamin!" Ikoma rushed over and hugged Hashimoto first, and then shouted in surprise, "Miho? ”

"Huh?" Hoshimi, who was also stunned for an instant like Hashimoto, subconsciously cried out, and the next second he was grabbed by the neck of Shiraishi, who was rushing over, "Ugh!"

Hoshimi grabbed Shiraishi's arm, saw the three Himura and the camera following behind Shiraishi through the gap, and subconsciously greeted, "Huh? Good morning? ”

"Good morning." Hashimoto, who also reacted, pulled away and hugged her Ikoma and said.

"Just kidding, huh? Why are you two here? Make an appointment to buy clothes together? Himura asked uneasily, a sense of crisis transmitted through his wallet to his brain.

"Yes." Hoshimi raised his hand to show the shopping bag he was carrying.

"Really? What the hell is going on? Really not prepared in advance? Himura turned around and asked the camera who followed him but didn't get an answer, so he could only look at the two of them again, "Are you resting today?" ”

Hashimoto replied, "Well, I'm resting today. ”

Hoshimi silently added: "I've been resting lately......"

Bai Shi glanced at the two of them with some curiosity, and asked coldly, "Didn't Nanami say before that she could only buy things by herself?" ”

Hashimoto quickly explained, "Well, I have to have someone to shop. ”

Himura asked, "Liar, aren't these two people?" Did you two meet by chance? ”

"No, because this time it's for me to buy something, and I'm pestering Nanami to accompany me." Hoshimi swallowed his saliva and cast his eyes for help to Takayama, who was a little constrained, but was quickly ignored by Takayama.

"Have you bought Hoshimi's clothes?" Himura pointed to the bag in Hoshimi's hand, and Shiraishi curiously grabbed her arm and opened the bag freely and looked at it.

"I've chosen, now it's time to take a casual look."

Himura turned his head and asked Hashimoto, "Does Hashimoto have time?" ”

Hashimoto nodded helplessly, first entangled by Hoshimi and then held by Ikoma, she could only accept the end of being forced to confiscate on her rest day.

"Let's help Ikoma choose clothes." Himura's proposal was accepted without any suspense, but unfortunately the outcome was not what he wanted.

Himura watched as his only partner, Hashimoto, pulled Ikoma to try on clothes, while the remaining four of them were fully engaged in their own shopping world, especially Hoshimi, who was still seriously talking about the ones he had already bought, and he didn't know when he had two more small bags in his hand, and now he was waiting for Shiraishi to take turns trying on several hats on her head.

"Takayama, Shiraishi, and Matsumura come here."

Hoshimi, who was not called, adjusted the angle in the mirror with great interest, but was pulled away by Shiraishi beside him, and hurriedly held his hat, and followed the three of them side by side to surround Himura.

"What are you four doing with your hats? Our goal is the transformation of Ikoma, so let's not forget our mission. Himura reiterated word by word.

Hoshimi tilted his head, thought for a moment and asked, "Then how can it be considered transformation?" There should be a reference, right? In a flash of inspiration, she grabbed Shiraishi and Matsumura and proposed, "Let's divide into groups, just six people, and choose separately in groups of three, and then Ikoma will choose the perfect match?" Hoshimi finished speaking, and turned his head to the two of them.

Shiraishi and Matsumura, who immediately understood her intentions, nodded hurriedly, Himura did not reject her proposal, and let Hoshimi, Shiraishi and Matsumura run aside and began to choose excitedly, while Takayama, Hashimoto and Himura accompanied Ikoma and kept holding their clothes and gesturing at her.

Time ticked away, and as Ikoma walked into the locker room with the clothes he had chosen, Himura remembered the three people who had just dispersed and shouted, "Shiraishi? Matsumura? Hoshimi? What about people? ”

"Here!"

"Huh! What are you three doing! Isn't it a choice of clothes? How did the three of you put it on? Himura was speechless as he held on to the shelves, frowning and smiling wryly.

"Isn't it pretty?" Shiraishi and Matsumura maintained the momentum of persecuting Himura, and showed off their new clothes in front of the camera, which were well-fitting and fashionable, perfectly interpreting the name of Shiraishi's fashion chief.

"It's obviously to let Ikoma change clothes!" Himura held on to the shelves and shouted out the final announcement, and the next second he reluctantly gave up the task, and angrily bet with a few people: "Aren't you uncomfortable if you don't buy clothes?" ”

"Yes!" The sound of harmony and unity appeared in Himura's ears.

"I actually admit it." Himura was angry and laughed, "I understand, in that case, let's play bag scissors hammer, whoever wins buys it to whom." ”

"Can I participate too?" Hashimoto, who was quick to react, quickly raised his hand and asked, joining the persecution camp and preparing to take advantage of the fire.

"Absolutely!"

"Yikes! The stars have not moved, what is it that you promised so quickly! ”

Ten minutes later, when Ikoma slowly finished changing a few sets of clothes and walked out of the locker room, he was almost frightened by the two lying on the ground.

Ikoma leaned over to look at the two kneeling on the ground and asked with concern, "What is this?" miho? Mai like? ”

The moment Shiraishi looked up, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, exacerbating Ikoma's worries, while Hoshimi on the other side did not react, and remained still on the ground as if he was stuck in a frame. Matsumura reacted quickly and gently wiped away Shiraishi's tears, worried about the other party's makeup.

Himura, who was stared at by several pairs of eyes, could only reluctantly agree to Shiraishi's request to fight again, and successfully released the water, allowing her to buy the clothes she wanted.

Only Hoshimi, who was still lying on the ground and pounding the ground, lowered his head without tears.

“Miho?” After celebrating excitedly, Shiraishi remembered his friend who was in sympathy with the same illness, and leaned over to touch the back of Hoshimi's exposed head.

"Hoshimi is going to come again?"

Hoshimi looked up sharply but his face was expressionless, and he ruthlessly rejected Himura's proposal, "No, blame me for seeing too much with these eyes." She propped up the floor and slowly got up, "My hands must have been opened, why can't I win a single one, I was about to break my neck just now." ”

"But Miho reacted quickly, and if it wasn't for a sore neck, he wouldn't have lost." Takayama patted Hoshimi on the shoulder in an attempt to comfort her, and the next second, Hashimoto's laughter interrupted Hoshimi's touching thanks.

"Himura-san, I can't own clothes, for the sake of me playing with you with so many dozens of scissors hammers, buy me this hat!" Hoshimi immediately picked up the hat that had fallen off when he shook his head, looked at Himura pitifully with a pouted mouth, and immediately joined the cheering queue after seeing Himura nodding helplessly.
