Looking at the city surrounded by mountains under the clouds, Nanami Hashimoto stared closely at the land that raised her, and the last time she looked at it like this was when she left Asahikawa for Kyoto.

Thinking of the hesitation and confusion in his heart when he left Asahikawa, Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, he really experienced too much in more than a year. So much so that now, although I didn't hold a marriage ceremony, I have actually married a wife.

"Nanamin, is this your hometown?" Mai Fukagawa, who was sitting next to Nanami Hashimoto, poked her head over, looked at Asahikawa City under the white clouds and the sun shining through the side window of the plane, and asked curiously.

Nanami Hashimoto nodded, pointed to the city under his feet and said to Mai Fukagawa: "This is my hometown, Asahikawa, the second largest city in Hokkaido!" That's where I grew up as a kid. "Thinking of being able to come to Hokkaido, Nanami Hashimoto still feels amazing. Originally, Nanami Hashimoto and others should have gone to Hokuriku for publicity according to the arrangement of the program team, but when arranging the publicity location, for some reason, the program team temporarily added Hokkaido to the range of options, and Nanami Hashimoto was lucky to hit his hometown Asahikawa with a dart.

As the only province among the 47 prefectures in Japan, it is contemptuously referred to as Ezo in Japan's traditional division of the Seven Provinces of Goki. It was not until the Meiji Restoration that the Japanese government began to vigorously develop Hokkaido and changed the name of Ezo to Hokkaido.

With the landing of the plane, Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Fukagawa, Yuri Saito and Minami Hoshino walked out of Asahikawa Airport, looking at the familiar hometown in front of them, Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but open her hands, wanting to embrace this land. After changing into uniforms, the four of them were blindfolded by the program team and taken to a place in Asahikawa City, where Nanami Hashimoto's dart hit the map, and their promotional journey will begin here.

"Ahh My eyes! It's so dazzling! Because of the blindfold, after the four took off the blindfold, they couldn't help but be a little dazzled by the sun, and hurriedly covered their eyes with their hands.

After adapting to the sunshine, the four of them held the bicycles prepared by the program team, looking at the surrounding environment, Hoshino Minami asked Nanami Hashimoto curiously: "Nanamin, where is this?" ”

"This is Joban Park, and the river next to us is the Ishikari River! I used to come here when I was a kid, and it's the most beautiful in winter when both sides of the bank are covered in snow! "Nanami Hashimoto seems to be very excited and happy because of the reason that he has returned to his hometown.

"Nanamin, what kind of bridge is that next to it? It feels like there's a lot of people here! Mai Fukagawa pointed to the bridge where the Ishikari River got on and off, and asked Nanami Hashimoto.

Nana Hashimoto looked in the direction of Mai Fukagawa's finger and replied, "That's Asahibashi, a landmark building of Asahikawa, an all-steel highway bridge with a history of about 100 years, and it is listed as one of the eight scenic spots of Asahikawa as a Hokkaido heritage." After answering Mai Fukagawa's question, Nanami Hashimoto pointed to the nearby Joban Park and said to the other three, "Let's start promoting it from here!" This is a famous park in Asahikawa, and it is also one of the eight scenic spots of Asahikawa, and there are many people! ”

Under the guidance of Nanami Hashimoto, the three of them could only nod obediently. So the three of them pedaled their bicycles and rode behind Nanami Hashimoto towards the entrance of Tokiwa Park.

At the entrance of Tokiwa Park, there is a tall stone monument with the seven characters "Asahikawa Kaimura Monument" engraved on it. Nanami Hashimoto and others bypassed the stone monument and rode slowly around Lake Chidori in the park.

Because it's summer, there are many people sitting around Lake Chidori, and there are many stalls selling all kinds of snacks. The four of them stopped their bicycles and walked on their carts while promoting Nogizaka 46's new single to stall owners and tourists on both sides of the road.

"Uncle, we are Nogizaka 46, does Uncle know?" Nanami Hashimoto looked at a boss who sold octopus balls and asked him with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the boss nodded busily, carefully looked at Nanami Hashimoto and said, "I know!" You're from our Asahikawa, right? ”

"Huh! Does Uncle know about me? Nana Hashimoto looked at the boss in surprise, she didn't expect that someone in her hometown actually knew about her: "Does that uncle know my name?" ”

Faced with Nanami Hashimoto's question, the boss thought for a while and replied, "Your name is Nanami Hashimoto, right?" You're from our Asahikawa, so how could you not know. ”

Nanami Hashimoto, who was recognized by the boss, suddenly had a happy smile on her face, and took out the promotional merchandise of the third new song prepared in advance and said to the boss: "Our Nogizaka 46 will release a new third single, this is a customized bicycle sticker, please be sure to buy the CD!" Thank you! After saying that, Nanami Hashimoto bowed to the boss with the other three.

"Don't worry, I will definitely support it!" As he spoke, the boss shouted to the owners of the other stalls around him, "Hey! This little girl is from our Asahikawa! They're Nogizaka 46, so they're all going to buy me CDs to support me! The owners of the other stalls around the onlookers immediately burst into laughter, and the four of them also reacted immediately, turned around and bowed to the surrounding stall owners and passing tourists and said, "We are Nogizaka 46, and we are about to release our third single, please support us!" ”

Nanami Hashimoto said as she presented the bicycle stickers in her hands to the people around them. After receiving the bicycle stickers presented by the four of Hashimoto, both the owners of the stalls and the tourists passing by nodded their heads and said that they would buy the CD, which undoubtedly made the four of them feel great excitement and joy.

At this time, a group of young junior high school students walked towards this direction, wearing all men's junior high school uniforms, and looked like they should be students from the nearby junior high school. It's summer vacation time, and they should come to the park together. Seeing that the four of them were surrounded by many tourists and staff, this group of young junior high school students also came over to see what was going on.

One of the middle school students suddenly ran towards her with an excited face when he saw Nanami Hashimoto, and Mai Fukagawa thought it was rice and recognized Nanami Hashimoto. But unexpectedly, after Nana Hashimoto didn't see the appearance of this middle school student clearly, when he ran in front of him and laughed, he raised his hand and slapped him.

This slap made the people around him stunned, and Mai Fukagawa looked a little overwhelmed, I don't know why Nanami Hashimoto slapped a middle school student who looked like rice, or a very hard slap. But the middle school student who was beaten shouted to Nanami Hashimoto with a straight smile: "Sister! ”

"Huh? Nanamin, who is he? Why did you hit him? At this time, Mai Fukagawa hurriedly asked, wanting to resolve the embarrassment. But what I didn't expect was that Nanami Hashimoto hugged the middle school student who was slapped by her and called her "sister" and cried. It took a long time to let go of the middle school student and explain to Mai Fukagawa and the others: "This is my younger brother, my own brother." ”

Only then did the people around him come to their senses and laugh good-naturedly. Nana Hashimoto took his brother's hand, looked at the red marks on his face, glanced at his brother's classmate standing next to him with some embarrassment, and asked with disgust, "Why did you come to Joban Park?" Didn't go to a club event? ”

Nanami Hashimoto's younger brother smiled, and didn't care about the place where Nanami Hashimoto had been slapped on his face, and said with a smile: "Today's club is on holiday, so I came to Joban Park to play with my classmates, and I plan to go to the library." Sister, why are you back? Although he was slapped by his sister, Nanami Hashimoto's younger brother looked at his sister with only surprise and concern in his eyes.

Nanami Hashimoto looked at her younger brother, smiled and said, "My sister is here to work, and Nogizaka 46 is going to promote the new single in Asahikawa." Saying that, Nana Hashimoto pretended to be fierce and threatened his younger brother: "Boy, do you want to buy the CD?" ”

"Of course I bought it, I bought both of my sister's CDs, and my classmates also bought them, don't believe you ask them!" The younger brother still had a smile on his face, turned his head and shouted to his classmates, "You guys, do you want to buy a new CD?" ”

The group of middle school students immediately laughed and agreed, "Buy!" ”

Nana Hashimoto looked at his younger brother's laughing classmates, and then looked at his cheeks that were red by himself, raised his hand and touched his brother's cheek with some distress, and asked, "Does it hurt?" Being touched by his sister's cheek, the younger brother was a little embarrassed, but he enjoyed his sister's care very much, shook his head with a smile and said, "It doesn't hurt, I forgot everything when I saw my sister." ”

After introducing his younger brother to Mai Fukagawa and others, and signing autographs for his younger brother's classmates, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Fukagawa separated from his younger brother and his classmates, pedaled bicycles, and continued their propaganda journey. Nana Hashimoto was still pedaling the bicycle while waving at his brother and saying goodbye with a smile.

But as soon as she left her brother's sight, Nanami Hashimoto stopped the bicycle and lay on the handrail of the bicycle, tears rolling down her face.

Mai Fukagawa also stopped suddenly, and asked Nanami Hashimoto with concern, "Nanamin, what's wrong with you?" Why are you crying? ”

Nana Hashimoto wiped her tears, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen my brother for a long time, and I want to cry a little." Mai Fukagawa thought of her family and understood Nanami Hashimoto's feelings, so she hugged her shoulders and gently stroked Nanami Hashimoto's back.
