"Nanamin, who do you think will be Center in the audition for the new single this time?" Mai Fukagawa asked Nanami Hashimoto while changing her clothes.

Nanami Hashimoto, who was also changing clothes, answered Mai Fukagawa's question while putting on her uniform: "I don't know, it seems that I have been trying a new lineup during this time of operation." When I was on the sixth single before, didn't I change the Center from a Kuma-chan to Mai-like? This time, one Kuta, one Kuma-chan, Mai-like, anyone is possible, right? And this time, there are also second-term students here.,Maybe it's possible that Mr. Akimoto and the operation plan to use the second-year students as a center this time.,After all, the second-term students have that princess! ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess is really a foul when she becomes an idol!" Mai Fukagawa sighed, turned her back to Nanami Hashimoto, and motioned to her to help her pull the zipper on her back: "Nana Min help me pull it here, thank you." In this way, the seat of the Eight Lucky Gods will be occupied, and the original quota is limited, and now there is one more Immovable Lucky God, and the seats selected in the future will be even tighter. ”

Mai Fukagawa, who had pulled the zipper with the help of Nanami Hashimoto, turned around, and after tidying up the uniform on her body, she sighed while thanking Nanami Hashimoto: "Speaking of the god of good fortune, Nana Min, you and Mai will definitely not move this time, nine actresses a month, a big river drama actress, the two of you must be the god of good fortune in the front row this time." Maybe this time, let Nana Min and you take the role of center! Mai Fukagawa joked at Nanami Hashimoto like this, and smiled with squinted eyes on her face.

Nana Hashimoto hurriedly shook her head, with a scared look: "No, no, no, the center's words are definitely not good, no matter what, I won't be a center!" Besides, the pressure to bear in that position is too great for me to handle! Nanami Hashimoto shook her head as she turned around as well, motioning for Mai Fukagawa to help her pull the zipper on her back.

"Everyone has a first time, Nanamin, you don't have this ability, don't be presumptuous!" Mai Fukagawa helped Nanami Hashimoto zip up her uniform, and then hugged Nanami Hashimoto from behind, and said in her ear: "Didn't Ichikuma-chan also have no experience and was pushed to the position of the Center by Mr. Akimoto?" It's five singles as soon as it's done, Nana Min, you can too! ”

Listening to what Mai Fukagawa said in her ear, Nanami Hashimoto just had a faint smile on her face, shook her head and did not refute or admit it. After changing into the uniforms to be worn for the recording of the show, the two left the locker room together and walked towards the lounge where the members were standing. While walking, Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but think in her heart about Mai Fukagawa's words, if she became the center, would she really be able to take this position? If you stand at the center, can you really lead the whole team forward? Thinking about these questions, Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Nanami Hashimoto, who was thinking about things, looked a little dazed, and after entering the lounge, he found a seat and sat down, looking ahead with his eyes lost, as if he hadn't woken up. It seems that the members have become accustomed to Nana Hashimoto's lack of energy in the morning, so they didn't bother her, which made Nana Hashimoto focus on thinking about her own problems.

However, Nanami Hashimoto didn't think about it for long, and soon the staff walked in and notified the members of Nogizaka 46, who had already arrived, to go to the studio to record the show. And Nanami Hashimoto was also interrupted from thinking, and after cheering up, he went to the studio with everyone.

In the studio, the "banana man" who is the host of the show today is the only one who is standing aside and loading the microphone on his body, and at the same time chatting with the hostess who is the narrator today Yu Kikuchi about the progress of today's show, and Yuki Himura, who usually goes with him, is nowhere to be seen.

"Isn't Himura-san's asthma still good? A few days ago, I saw the news that he was admitted to the hospital with asthma, but I didn't expect it to be better for so long, which made people a little worried! Mai Fukagawa looked at Shirakuto, who was only one person, and while she was worried about Himura's absence, she was also concerned about him: "Nanamin, do you think we should visit Himura-san?" ”

Nana Hashimoto didn't think of Yuki Himura's usual care for herself and the other members of Nogizaka 46, and nodded to Mai Fukagawa: "Later, let's ask Yuraku-san which hospital Himura-san is in, and take some time to visit him." But if the selection is released, we Nogizaka 46 should be busy, right, I don't know if it's time to draw or not? ”

"Why don't you go after recording the show today? It shouldn't take more than a day to announce the selection, let's first ask Shele Sang which hospital Himura-san is in, and then go straight over after the show is recorded. Mai Fukagawa said to Nanami Hashimoto, apparently eager to visit Yuki Himura, the formula brother who had always taken care of them like a brother, and the members of Nogizaka 46.

Regarding Mai Fukagawa's proposal, Nana Hashimoto didn't think for a moment and said: "That's it, but let's do it first, let's get the show listed first, today is the selection announcement, I don't know who will enter the selection group for this single!" Nanami Hashimoto sighed while looking at the members around her, the members of the first phase of the student were all changing into uniforms and preparing for the recording of the show, while the members of the second phase were wearing their own private clothes and chatting about various topics about the selection.

The members of the second generation were notified today that they were coming to the apprenticeship program, so although they also hoped that they would be selected for the selection team, most of them just had such dreams and did not think that they would actually be selected. And Yoshiko, who already knew that there would be her own name among the members of the selection team this time, took her good friend Sukai Yuka's hand and leaned to the side expressionlessly, not participating in the discussion of the other members.

Seeing Nanami Hashimoto's gaze looking at her, Kako hurriedly reacted and nodded slightly at her, but there was still no expression on her face. This made Nana Hashimoto frown a little, how could Kako, who has always been polite and thoughtful, behave so strangely today, as if there was something annoying. Especially Nana Hashimoto didn't notice that when Yoshiko looked at the first student, there was a faint trace of guilt in her eyes, which made Nana Hashimoto even more curious.

Nanami Hashimoto walked over to Yoshiko and greeted her: "Yoshiko, why are you so sullen today?" Is it because of today's selection and announcement, and you second-year students can only do internships? Don't be so sullen, that's how I came at the beginning, and I understand very well the feeling of being a non-selection group and only watching the show in the selection group. Nana Hashimoto comforted Yoshiko, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth.

Looking at Nanami Hashimoto, who comforted her, Kako felt even more guilty in her heart, and she even had a feeling of betraying Nanami Hashimoto. Nana Hashimoto, as a senior, has always cared for and taken care of Kako, and gave her a lot of help, but now she already knows that she will become the lucky god of this single selection, and even if she is willing to become the center, this makes Kako feel very uncomfortable, and there is a feeling as if her heart has been gnawed.

If she had earned the position of the god of good fortune through hard work, she might not have felt so uncomfortable, but this position was given to her because she was a princess and took into account the face of the royal family, which obviously violated the original intention of Kako to be an idol and gain national recognition through hard work.

Nana Hashimoto looked at Kako with a more guilty look on her face, remembering her identity as a princess, she suddenly recalled her previous guess in her heart, and suddenly her eyes widened, and she looked at Yoshiko suspiciously, and her tone was a little incredulous: "Yoshiko, do you know ......?" Did operations talk to you? Nana Hashimoto almost exclaimed, and hurriedly approached Yoshiko and asked her in a whisper.

Seeing that Nana Hashimoto didn't guess the truth of the matter, Kako apologized to her ashamedly, and there was a hint of embarrassment in her voice: "I'm sorry Nanamin!" I wanted to refuse, but for the sake of the royal family...... I ......" Kako didn't know how to explain to Nana Hashimoto, and all kinds of words could only turn into a sentence of "I'm sorry" in the end.

Looking at the apologizing Kako, Nana Hashimoto hurriedly supported her, and said with a dumb smile: "No need to apologize, I won't be angry about this kind of thing!" Yoshiko, you're too worried. Nanami Hashimoto smiled and comforted Yoshiko, saying that he would not be angry that she was a member of the selection team, and encouraged her: "No matter what the reason, since Yoshiko can be selected, then all you have to do is work hard in this position." If you feel that you didn't get this position because everyone recognized it, then you should make achievements in this position to make everyone recognize your efforts and feel that you deserve this position. So no matter what reason you stand in this position, you should work hard! Only by putting in more effort than others can you be recognized by everyone, do you understand, Yoshiko? ”

"Yes, Nanamin-senpai! Thank you for your encouragement, I know what to do! Listening to Nana Hashimoto's words, Kako nodded, and solemnly saluted her, and the title was specially added to the honorific title of senior. Looking at Yoshiko, who was solemnly thanking herself, Nana Hashimoto didn't understand that she had listened to her words, so she gave her an encouraging smile and turned to walk towards Mai Shiraishi.

"Yoshiko, what are you talking about with Nanamin's seniors?" Yuka Sugai on the side listened to the conversation between Yoshiko and Nanami Hashimoto, and was a little confused, so when she saw that Nana Hashimoto had not left, she took Yoshiko's arm and whispered to her: "Listen to you talk about the position and hard work, are you talking about the single selection?" Yoshiko, you wouldn't have known that you had made it to the selection, would you? No wonder you've been sullen these days, it's because of this kind of thing! ”

"Tomoka, be quiet!" Yoshiko hurriedly pulled Sugai Yuka and asked her to be quiet, while looking around nervously to make sure that no one was eavesdropping before continuing to say to Sugai Yuka: "The operation has specifically talked to me before, and because of the royal family, they planned to arrange for me to be the center of this single selection to create a topic, but I refused. But for the sake of the royal family's face and topicality, I was still arranged by the operation to be the lucky god of this single selection. ”

"Huh! Lucky God? The princess is good, you can directly enter the selection to be a lucky god when you come to be an idol! Why do I, a Chinese family, want to be an idol with you, a royal family, otherwise, the operation may also treat me preferentially! When Sugai Yuka heard Yoshiko's words, she didn't feel any jealousy, some were just envy of her friends, although the words seemed to be complaining, but in fact, she was using ridicule to explain Kako.

Seeing Sugai Yuka teasing herself, Kako also understood that her friend was enlightening her, so she smiled and shot back at Sugai Yuka: "Okay, then I'll go to the operator next time and say, how about they give you, the Chinese lady, a preferential treatment, and let you go to the center?" My words as a princess must still work! What do you think, Miss Sugai? ”

"Don't, don't! Even being selected is already stressful enough for me, not to mention standing in front of so many first-year seniors, if I really become a Cneter, it makes my scalp tingle to think about. Faced with Yoshiko's joke, Sugai Yuka hurriedly shook her head, for fear that Yoshiko would really go to the operation to talk about it.

For Yuka Sugai, although she did think about what would happen if she became the center, if she really had to stand in the center of the stage and bear everyone's gaze, the pressure was still a little too heavy for her. Therefore, in the face of Yoshiko's ridicule, although she knew that Yoshiko was just joking, Yuka Sugai hurriedly denied it.

Yoshiko and Sugai Yuka laughed, and the original nervous and uneasy emotions of Yoshiko disappeared with their laughter, and after laughing for a while, Yoshiko and Sugai Yuka stopped at the call of the staff to call for the second phase of students to sit down and prepare to start the recording of the show. I sat down with the other second-term students and watched the members of the first-term students walk into the set and start the recording of "Where is Nogizaka" today.

After the opening remarks of the usual practice of Shiraku, the recording of the show began, but it was a little different from usual, because of the absence of Yuki Himura, today's hosting could only be done by Shiraku alone, which made the stage look a little deserted, which made the students who had long been accustomed to the existence of the two hosts of Banana Man feel a little unaccustomed.

Although they are not used to it, the show still has to go on, but with the introduction after the opening remarks of the music system, what is shown in front of the members is the new single selection formation that surprises them.
