In the morning, in the lounge of Nogizaka 46, the Sony Music headquarters building, the members are preparing to start their day's work.

"Reika-chan, who do you think will win the sales showdown between us and Rino Tsuhara?" Hana Nakata sat next to Narira Miyazawa and asked her while touching up her makeup.

Miyazawa Nariyo thought for a while and said, "I don't know, it's AKB48-san after all." Their sales are now in the millions, even if it's just a solo single of one member, it's hard for us Nogizaka 46 to win in terms of sales, right? ”

Miyazawa's words made a trace of frustration appear on Hana Nakata's face: "Yes, with an existence like AKB48-san, can we really defeat them?" ”

"No problem!" Narira Miyazawa showed a energetic smile and cheered for Hana Nakata: "Didn't the sales of our first debut single exceed 200,000 copies?" There are only 800,000 tickets left behind AKB48-san, and as long as we keep this up, we will definitely be able to beat them! Come on! ”

Miyazawa's words made Hana Nakata smile reluctantly, and seemed to let go of her worries. But both of them know that although they say that there is only a gap of 800,000 copies, the gap in sales of 800,000 copies is like a moat, and it is difficult to surpass.

"Naira-chan, you're right, although Hara-san is a member of AKB48, he's just one of them." Yumiko Iwase said on the side: "If Nogizaka 46 doesn't even have the confidence to defeat Fingerhara-san, how can we challenge the behemoth of AKB48?" ”

"Sister Yumi." Narura Miyazawa and Hana Nakata greeted Yumiko Iwase. Because she is the eldest of the members, Yumiko Iwase is also known as Yumi-san by everyone.

"Sister Yumi, do you think we can win against Fingerhara-san?" Hana Nakata asked Yumiko Iwase.

"Have faith in yourself, our last single sold 200,000 people. Even if it refers to Hara-san, 200,000 sales are not an easy number to achieve, and the gap between us and AKB48 is not as big as you think. Yumiko Iwase sat next to Hana Nakata and patted her on the shoulder and encouraged her.

"yes, Hana-chan!" Miyazawa Nariyo also cheered on the side: "We sold 150,000 copies in the first week last time, and this time it will definitely be better than the last time!" ”

Seeing that Yumiko Iwase and Naruto Miyazawa were cheering for themselves, Hana Nakata finally mustered up her energy and said: "Then let's come on, this time we can win against Shihara-san with a head-to-head duel!" ”

Seeing that Hana Nakata had regained her spirits, Narira Miyazawa and Yumiko Iwase both shouted together: "Come on!" ”

The voices of Narira Miyazawa and Yumiko Iwase immediately attracted the attention of the other members in the lounge, causing the two to hurriedly lower their heads.

"Sister Yumei, Chengliang-chan, what are you talking about?" Nanami Hashimoto, who was listless in the morning as if she hadn't woken up, seemed to be quarreled by Miyazawa Narira and Iwase Yumiko, and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry for the noise, Nanamin." Reika Sakurai knew that Nana Hashimoto couldn't be messed with in the morning, so she hurriedly apologized: "Let's talk about the sales of new singles!" Hana-chan was worried that we wouldn't be able to win Hirohara-san's solo single, and Yumi-san and I were comforting her. ”

Nana Hashimoto stretched out, rubbed his neck, and after sobering himself up, he said to Reika Sakurai: "Don't worry too much, our Nogizaka 46 has been quite concerned recently. Last time, I became the spokesperson of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but I attracted a lot of new meals. ”

"Yes, yes, the last time I went to Shibuya, I was recognized by Rice and asked me to sign it." Hana Nakata said with some excitement: "We are Nogizaka 46, and we are also a widely watched idol girl group!" ”

Yumiko Iwase also said on the side: "Yes, our Nogizaka 46 has been a hot topic recently. Last time, because of the Kyoto incident, Nana Min's new show that aired on Tokyo TV has become a hit, and many people are paying attention to the topic of yokai and onmyoji. ”

Nanami Hashimoto supported her waist with her hands, straightened her body forward, and her full breasts propped up her clothes, which became more plump with Nanami Hashimoto's movements.

"Ahh Comfortable! Nana Hashimoto, who had finished supporting her waist, knocked on her waist, and then said to Yumiko Iwase: "It's inevitable that the new show will get attention, in the first episode of SP, after all, Kyoko Fukada-san was invited as a guest, and then it caught up with the Kyoto incident, under all kinds of circumstances, it is inevitable to attract attention." ”

"Kyoto is miserable, but something like this happens." Speaking of the Kyoto incident, the expression on Miyazawa's face became lonely: "When I was on a school trip, I went to Kyoto, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen. What I saw on TV was really miserable. Why did this happen in Kyoto, the person who defeated the demon fox in the end was Chiba-san, right? After Miyazawa finished speaking, he looked at Nanami Hashimoto curiously.

Nanami Hashimoto looked at Reika Sakurai's eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Because that fox demon was sealed in Kyoto four hundred years ago, Senye-san also went to solve this matter." But I didn't expect the demon fox to break free from the seal, and it would start a big war in Kyoto. If Senya hadn't stopped that demon fox, the whole of Kyoto would have been reduced to flames, and innocent people would have been slaughtered, right? ”

The topic was a bit heavy, so that neither Narishi Miyazawa nor Yumiko Iwase spoke, and Hana Nakata lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

At this time, Nanase Nishino walked in, and the moment he saw Nanami Hashimoto, Nanase Nishino took a step back, but quickly restrained his retreat and walked into the lounge.

Nanase Nishino walked over to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down next to Nanami Hashimoto.

Nana Hashimoto didn't look at Nanase Nishino, and still greeted her as if she hadn't woken up: "Morning, Nana Sai." ”

"Morning ...... Good morning, Nanamin. Nanase Nishino seemed a little afraid to look at Nanami Hashimoto, and greeted her shyly.

Nana Hashimoto didn't notice the strangeness of Nanase Nishino because of her lack of energy, but after nodding, she stood up, walked to the tatami mat in the corner of the lounge, and lay down.

Nanase Nishino looked at Nanami Hashimoto who was lying down, bit his lip, and after thinking for a while, he gave up the idea of talking to Nanami Hashimoto in the past. Clearly, this is not the right time.

The members came to the lounge one after another, and after all the members arrived, they began a day of intense rehearsals.

Because the release of the new single is approaching, the content of today's rehearsal is the song and dance of the new single. Under the supervision of the dance teacher, all the members are seriously engaged in rehearsals and sweating.

In the position of this single, Nanase Nishino still exists as a member of the third-row selection group. Looking at Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto standing in front of him, Nanase Nishino couldn't help but wonder in his heart, where are the two of them better than me? The single position is to stand in front of me, and even the master chooses them as his wife first.

The momentary distraction made Nishino Nanase's movements suddenly slow down, and this small mistake was immediately discovered by the dance teacher and pointed out.

This mistake made Nanase Nishino a little ashamed, and she couldn't help but think of what Chiya asked herself, did she really do her best? Can't do better? Looking at Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, who were standing in front of him and were the gods of the Seven Good Fortunes, Nanase Nishino couldn't help but secretly tighten his teeth and made up his mind to catch up with Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi.

During the rehearsal break, Mai Shiraishi still used to stick to Nana Hashimoto, and Sayuri Matsumura on the side was next to the two of them.

"Speaking of which, our second single was supposed to be released some time ago, but it was postponed to avoid the Kyoto incident." Mai Shiraishi told Nanami Hashimoto about the gossip she had heard from the staff.

"I also heard that it was originally going to be released on May 2nd with Hirohara-san's solo single, but the release date was postponed because Nogizaka 46 was the image spokesperson of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and the promotional video was filmed. Now we have to avoid the impact of the Kyoto incident, and our single is really a lot of disasters. Matsumura Sayuri also sighed on the side.

Nana Hashimoto didn't think so, she listened to Mai Shiraishi and Sayuri Matsumura before she spoke: "You can't look at this matter like this, if it is released later, it will actually be good for us Nogizaka 46." At least because of the Kyoto incident, our Nogizaka 46 has been very popular recently. If it is released now, the sales volume will definitely be higher than if it was released at the previous time, and when the time comes, we will be more sure that we will win the competition with Shihara-san. ”

After Nanami Hashimoto's words made Mai Shiraishi and Sayu Matsumura think for a moment, they both nodded, admitting that what she said made sense.

At this time, Nishino Nanase looked at Nanami Hashimoto and the three of them, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over, and said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Nanamin, I have something I want to talk to you about, it's about Senya-san." ”

Nana Hashimoto looked at Nanase Nishino with some surprise, and glanced at Mai Shiraishi, and both of them thought of a possibility.

Nanase Nishino: Did she know about our relationship with Chiya? After Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi made eye contact, she took a deep breath and stood up, nodded to Nanase Nishino and said, "Let's go out and talk." ”

Mai Shiraishi also stood up, grabbed Nanami Hashimoto's arm, and said to Nanase Nishino, "Nanasa, don't you mind if I listen?" ”

Nanase Nishino looked at Mai Shiraishi and thought that she was Senya's other wife, so he nodded and said, "You can come with Mai." ”
