Chapter 195: Small Talk

Although he learned some information about the Huangquan Sect from Akechi Mitsuhide, for Nishino Nanase, most of this information was still at the level of hearing and rumors, and the time was four hundred years ago. Therefore, Nishino Nanase wanted to use this to understand the Huangquan Sect, and the plan to solve this matter for Qianye had to be stillborn.

Although the mood was a little low, Nishino Nanase also understood that this kind of thing could not be forced, so he didn't care too much about this matter, and after sorting out his feelings, Nishino Nanase could only wait for the Nine-Tails Group to investigate before going to Mai Shiraishi for information.

Thinking of this, Nishino Nanase couldn't help but feel a little bored, looking at Akechi Mitsuhide sitting on the living room carpet as if he was sitting in zazen, although Nishino Nanase inherited the memories from Tamako, but obviously didn't want to kill time like Tamako in the Warring States period four hundred years ago. After thinking about it carefully, Nanase Nishino changed into home clothes, took out his beloved handheld, grabbed a bag of snacks he bought before, and leaned back on the sofa to play a game.

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Nanase Nishino, who was curled up on the sofa while eating snacks and playing games, frowned, and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't speak. Although he has always regarded Nishino Nanase as his daughter, Akechi Mitsuhide knows that Nishino Nanase is not a Tamako, and it is not four hundred years ago. Maybe 400 years ago, a girl as old as Nanase Nishino was married and had a husband and children, but today, 400 years later, she is just a girl who has not yet reached adulthood.

It was precisely with this in mind that although Akechi Mitsuhide was dissatisfied with Nishino Nanase's various behavior habits, he did not interfere with her, and only occasionally made some persuasions on Nishino Nanase's behavior. While looking at Nanase Nishino on the sofa with doting eyes, Akechi Mitsuhide kept recalling his memories about the Huangquan Sect, for this cult, Akechi Mitsuhide always felt that he had forgotten some important information.

As the second student of Nogizaka 46, Horimi Ona has now adapted to life as a girl idol. Although the second-term students are not able to take charge of foreign affairs and other work on their own like the first-term students, the daily training and some activities that must be participated by all employees still make Horimi Ona feel very fulfilling. And for Horiwei, who was already an idol before joining Nogizaka 46, the biggest advantage of becoming a member of Nogizaka 46 is that she can get in touch with her former idols more conveniently. For this, Horimi Yangna, who was in close contact with Reina Matsui not long ago, has a deep understanding.

As usual, Horimi arrived at the Sony Music headquarters building in Nogizaka early, and after changing into her practice clothes in the locker room, she went to the practice room, reviewing the dance moves she had learned while waiting for the other members and teachers to arrive.

There are several members in the practice room who arrive earlier than Horimi Nana, and most of them are members of the first semester. For the first phase of life, although Horiwei Yana wants to be close to them, but because of the identity difference between the first and second students, Horiwei Nana, who is a little afraid of life, still doesn't dare to take the initiative to talk to them. For the same reason, in the first life, except for Minami Hoshino, who took the initiative to talk to her, Horimi Yana did not have a good relationship. Even Nishino Nanase, who she longed for very much, Horino Nana didn't take the initiative to talk to her, but just greeted her as a junior during the show and daily training.

While Hori was thinking about these things, the other members also came to the practice room one after another. Perhaps because the previous "Summer National Tour 2013" concert was too tired, although the operation deliberately arranged a holiday, everyone was still a little in good spirits. After arriving in the lounge, most of the first-year students chose to sit on the floor and wait for the arrival of the teacher, with only a few members of the dance team on their own.

The second phase of the students is obviously keeping a distance from the first students, although they are in the same room, it is still easy to see which people are the first students and which people are the second students. Seeing that everyone was gradually coming, Horimi Nana also stopped her practice, walked to the second generation, and chatted with them. Among the second students, perhaps before joining Nogizaka 46, he was already quite familiar with Nanami Hashimoto and others, and Yoshiko, who has a special identity, can communicate with the same student without any obstacles. Even Yoshiko's friend Yuka Sugai was also a little restrained when talking to the same student.

"The summer tour is finally over! Ten days to run through five cities, really tired! "The youngest Misato Watanabe, because of her age, is still a little uncomfortable with such a high-intensity work, and she can't help but complain.

Ranyo Terada, who was standing next to Misato Watanabe, comforted her: "This is also something that can't be helped, as an idol, these things are inevitable." Besides, our second-term students are still good, and we don't have too much work, like first-term students, they will only be more tired than us. As for the workload of first-term students, Ranyo Terada saw it in his eyes and understood that while they were getting more opportunities, they were also putting in more labor.

For Terada Lanshi's words, Misato Watanabe is not easy to refute, and she still pouts a little unhappily, but everyone can see that she is just playing with a child's temper. Looking at the sullen Misato Watanabe, the older Shinuchi Maki smiled and walked over to hug her arm, comforting her in a whisper, and without a few words, he made Watanabe Misato who was still pouting laugh.

"Although the summer tour is over, there is still a concert to prepare for in October, right?" Karin Ito, who had previously participated in the first student audition and had not joined Nogizaka 46 until the second semester, saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, and took the initiative to stir up the topic and talked about the additional concert announced at the last performance of the "Summer National Tour 2013" in Tokyo.

"It's called 'Summer National Tour 2013 FINAL!' The name, right? Kotoko Sasaki, who usually looks quiet, seems to be quite concerned about the concert: "Yoyogi No. 1 Gymnasium, I didn't expect that our Nogizaka 46 could already hold a concert at a venue of this level." ”

Hori Miyana was also deeply touched by this and said: "These are the results of the efforts of the seniors of the first generation, right? Whether it's the summer tour or the stage of Yoyogi, these are the results of the efforts of our predecessors, and I don't know when we will be able to make our own achievements in the second phase. ”

"Don't be too pessimistic, Hori-chan." After Mai Shinuchi comforted Misato Watanabe, she heard Horiwei's words and smiled softly at her: "Even the seniors of the first phase of the year have worked hard to get today's results, and as long as we continue to work hard, we will definitely be able to make our own achievements." ”

Listening to Shinuchi Mayo's words, Horimi Nana nodded, covered her mouth and laughed: "I'm not pessimistic, I just think that we second-year students don't know when we will have the opportunity to make achievements." ”

"There are many opportunities, it depends on whether we can grasp them." Shin Nei Mao Yi seems to be more mature than most of the members because of her age, as a big sister, she encourages other second-stage students: "Isn't the concert a good stage to show the style of our second-phase students?" As long as everyone behaves well, the audience will be able to see it. As long as you work hard, I believe that our second-year students will soon be able to become members of the selection team. ”

When the second generation students were chatting, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, who were sitting in the middle of the first students, were also looking at these juniors and discussing topics about them.

"Nanamin, who of these second-year students are most likely to be promoted from graduate students to full members?" Due to the adoption of the graduate student system, all second-year students have been participating in the activities of Nogizaka 46 as graduate students, and no one has been promoted to full membership. That's why Mai Shiraishi became interested in who could be the first to be officially promoted, and she discussed with Nana Hashimoto with great interest.

In the morning, Nanami Hashimoto was still a little in good spirits, leaning on the wall on the side with his shoulders slumped, and when he heard Mai Shiraishi's question, he replied with some uninterest: "There's nothing to guess about this kind of thing, right?" As long as the operation is not stupid enough to offend the royal family, it must be Yoshiko who will be the first to be promoted. And there will definitely be the name of Yoshiko in the selection lineup for the next order, maybe someone from the Eight Lucky Gods will move his seat. ”

"Kako's promotion is for sure, I mean someone other than Kako." Mai Shiraishi pursed her lips, dissatisfied with Nana Hashimoto's perfunctory answer: "There are other people besides Yoshiko in the second generation, who do you think will be the first to be promoted to a full member and become a selection team?" Mai Shiraishi shook Nanami Hashimoto's arm, as if trying to shake Nanami Hashimoto's drowsiness away.

"Alright, don't shake it, Mai!" Nana Hashimoto was not a little dizzy by Mai Shiraishi, and quickly pulled her arm out of her arms, patted her chest and asked Mai Shiraishi, "Mai, why do you care so much about these second-stage students?" It's not like your character, when did the cold Mai start to care about the juniors? As if in retaliation for Mai Shiraishi shaking herself just now, Nana Hashimoto deliberately ridiculed Mai Shiraishi's usual impression of a cold goddess on the members.

"Speaking of coldness, Nanamin, you are, right? In the entire Nogizaka 46, except for Asuka, it seems that no member dares to take the initiative to approach you. Mai Shiraishi, who was not ridiculed by Nana Hashimoto, fought back decisively, although it sounded like a quarrel, but the words of the two were full of smiles: "But I'm also here to care about the team, after all, for Nogizaka 46, it is impossible to rely only on us for a lifetime." If the second-term students can't grow up quickly and take charge of themselves, it is not a good thing for the development of the whole team, and our first-term students will graduate sooner or later. ”

Hearing Mai Shiraishi mention the topic of graduation, Nanami Hashimoto couldn't help but think about this issue. As the oldest adult group in the entire team of Nogizaka 46, whether it is himself or Mai Shiraishi, there is a limit to the amount of time he can stay in the team. As a self born in 93, he turned 20 this year, and the unspoken rule of girl idols is to graduate before the age of 25, although it is true that AKB48 has members over this age, but that is an individual phenomenon after all, and Nanami Hashimoto does not think that her popularity can support her to stay until that time.

As I get older, new members continue to join, and my popularity as a girl idol will continue to lose, and Nana Hashimoto has a clear understanding of this. In her original plan, she was supposed to finish her studies while continuing her idol career to earn tuition for her younger brother, and when her brother was admitted to college, she was about the same age, so she could graduate from the group and live a normal life, but beyond the situation that Nana Hashimoto did not plan was that she met Chiya.

Because of the relationship of a thousand nights, Nanami Hashimoto is no longer bothered by his brother's tuition problem, and his life has been greatly changed, and even he has changed from a human to a monster. So Nanami Hashimoto's attitude towards the job of an idol has also changed fundamentally, and now she is considering whether to continue to stay in the entertainment industry to develop. However, it is too early for Nanami Hashimoto to discuss this matter, after all, he still has no foundation in the entertainment industry, although he participated in a big river drama, he is still just a small idol.

Seeing that Nana Hashimoto was silent after hearing her mention of graduation, Mai Shiraishi reached out and gently nudged her, and asked with concern in her eyes, "What's wrong with Nanamin?" Why don't you speak? You're not really thinking about graduating, are you? ”

Nana Hashimoto smiled and shook her head: "What's the matter, it's not now that you have to think about graduation!" I was just wondering who else would be eligible to be on the selection team for the next single. ”

"Then who are you more optimistic about?" Mai Shiraishi looked at Nanami Hashimoto with great interest, obviously paying more attention to this issue than to Nanami Hashimoto's graduation.

"If you are a more optimistic member, Hori-chan and Yoshiko's good friend Tomoka should be more potential members," Nana Hashimoto thought about it for a while, and then looked at the second-stage members gathered in the practice room and said to Mai Shiraishi: "I think the potential of the two of them is relatively good, and if the others are concerned, Hinako Kitano and Mai Shinuchi should also be good." I don't know much about the others, but I really wonder why Akimoto-sensei put her in. ”

"Nanami Nishikawa? You mean the eighth-term graduate student of the original AKB48? Mai Shiraishi frowned when she heard the name that Nana Hashimoto had not mentioned: "They were dismissed by the AKB48 operation group at that time, right?" It's really strange.,It stands to reason that Mr. Akimoto shouldn't recruit this kind of former member anymore.,But maybe Mr. Akimoto wants to give her another chance, right? ”

Just when Nanami Hashimoto wanted to say something more, the dance teacher pushed the door and walked in.
