"- Hello everyone, I'm the 14th, Yoko Ozono from Kagoshima, 17 years old......"

The girl in uniform stood in front of the camera with a long gun and a short cannon, and the spotlight on her body was a little hotter than she imagined.

However, what is even more fiery is that there is no restraint at all, and the whispers of the reporters in the audience.

"-She's the big garden, and sure enough, she's also in the final round of selection."

"—Right? My sister is the new center of Nogizaka 46 who has just won the big award, a hot newcomer! Even if it's for the sake of showmanship, Akimoto-san has to save her for the last round, right? ”

- Tut-tut...... But sister idols, in different Sakado, are really a big gimmick. But Akimoto-san is also really.,Obviously, my sister looks more calm than my sister.,Why did you put it in Hiragana Tsukisaka? ”

"-yes, it's a pity, obviously, such a child is more suitable for being a popular group center than the sister who always cries her nose, right? It's a pity that I entered this Sakamichi group that doesn't know if there will be a tomorrow......"

“……”

"It's a pity" and "show" ...... Yoko Ozono, standing on the stage, vaguely heard the most words.

With a cold snort in her heart, she took a deep breath.

"—I know, people know me more because of my sister......"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the staff on the side waved vigorously with a face of "what are you doing" - of course, right? Because, I didn't introduce myself as I submitted earlier.

However, she didn't mind breaking this rule, just like at the beginning, Akimoto-san came to her and said to herself.

"- Dayuan, your sister and you can become unique idols, but I look forward to your growth even more......"

Drawing strength from the memory, she settled down and continued.

"—I'll give you time to get to know me, though."

“……”

There was an uproar in the audience.

“…… Is this kid tacitly acquiescing that he has been elected? ”

The reporters were a little stunned because of the momentum of her words, and they also realized that this girl was different from the children in front of her, her eyes did not look at her toes, but looked around them quite arrogantly.

- It's like, a proud lion cub.

"Whether in front of the stage or behind the scenes, I, Yoko Ozono, will become a unique idol. And, under the guidance of our seniors, we will work hard to grow and become the best idol group in Hiragana! ”

“……”

There was silence for a while, I don't know who took the lead, the applause gradually became warm, and the flashing lights crackled - if nothing else, just to say that this heroic spirit is indeed unprecedented.

The so-called promising future refers to the girl who is now proudly raising her head on stage, right? It's just that many reporters are even more lamented - after all, the current Hiragana Tsusaka is just a vassal of that thriving group.

After bowing and curtain calling, Yoko Ozono walked off the stage - there was no need for a stunt, she knew that it would be enough, and as for the so-called stunts, as she said, she would give everyone enough time to learn.

"It's amazing......"

and the girl who replaced herself on the stage, passing by on the stairs. Hearing the other party's soft praise in his ear, Da Yuan subconsciously looked back, but only saw a long back.

"-Hello everyone, I'm Nao Kosaka on the 15th......"

Standing still on the stage, the girl's voice was soft and weak, but her eyes were very firm.

Such a characteristic hoarse voice immediately reminded her of - if memory serves, it's a girl from Osaka, right?

The highly recognizable front teeth and superior mixed-race face will be remembered by anyone - her election should also be a certainty.

"-Da Yuan, what are you doing in a daze! Get back to the group! ”

Probably because he was working on the stage temporarily, and now the staff are a little angry with themselves. However, she also knew that she was messing around first, and admitted it with a smile on her face.

"Okay, okay......"

“…… Dayuan Sang, just so handsome! ”

When she returned to the queue, Yoko Osono heard the girl next to her, quietly taking the initiative to bite her ear.

She turned her head away, and it was a girl with a single ponytail, looking at her with starry eyes.

Clearing her throat, Dayuan lowered her voice—she was a little bad at whispering, and she uttered as few syllables as possible.

“…… Well? ”

"—What you just said! Osoon-san looks so calm, if I was a fan and saw it, I would want to push it on the spot! ”

“…… Thank you. ”

It's not that she's cold. It's just that, on the one hand, she is not good at dealing with this kind of flattery; On the other hand, from a distance, she had already seen the warning gaze from Staff.

- It seems that before he joined the group, he became the target of the key target.

Seeing that she responded little, the girl on the 13th was also bored and fell silent. Dayuan was also happy not to be disturbed, and his eyes were empty. When she came back to her senses, the girl named Kosaka had returned to the queue and smiled at her.

"Well...... Look at the cute girls. ”

With a yawn, she set her eyes on the stage.

"—I'm Miho Watanabe on the 16th......"

……

……

"—The final list of finalists will be announced below."

Soon, the moment to decide the fate of the girls came, after resume delivery, auditions, online live broadcasts...... Everyone who can stand here is the best of the girls who dream of idols. However, now there are only ten places where their dreams can be realized.

"—No. 3, Yona Kawada."

The announcement of the results was unusually simple and cruel, and it was reported mechanically in order, and it was reported to No. 3, that is, No. 1 and No. 2 were all eliminated.

The atmosphere of sadness and chagrin permeated at once, and the two unsuccessful girls sobbed quietly, and even the lucky one who was selected was a little emotionally broken, and Pear Blossom stood in front of the stage with rain.

"-Fortunately, it's good-looking...... It's so beautiful to cry......"

Yoko Ozono commented like an uncle in her heart, and now in this space, she who has been appointed by Akimoto Sang may be the least nervous.

"No. 5, Hiyori Hamagishi."

"—The name of the kana is so cunning, isn't it easy to remember!"

"No. 7, Mijiu Kanemura."

"-It's so good, my favorite number was also selected, and it's still such a cute girl......"

“……”

The announcement of the selection is gradually approaching, and her mood of watching the drama is getting stronger and stronger, and the complaints in her heart are also increasing.

"No. 11, Matsuda good flower."

"Number 12, Suzuka Tomita."

"Number 13, Dansheng Akari."

“……”

Dayuan instinctively felt that all the cameras were directed at him for a moment, and the host paused very interestingly, as if she had sold a small pass, she closed her eyes, and it was still difficult to suppress the shaking caused by not letting everyone photograph her.

"—Number 14, Yoko Ozono."

She opened her eyes, smiled at the camera, and strode onto the stage, where her future friends were nodding to her.

“…… Finally, is the first step completed? ”

There were no tears of joy, no stage fright, and Yoko Ozono knew that this was the first step she was expected to achieve.

……

"Number 15, Nao Kosaka."

"Number 16, Miho Watanabe."

Since the girl on the 11th, she has been selected for six consecutive years, and there is only the last person left on the list.

"No. 18, Aimo Miyata."

"Hoo ......"

The ten-person roster was confirmed, and Yoko Ozono breathed a sigh of relief.

There is a sister of a member of Sakamichi, and she naturally knows that the so-called oldest and youngest often naturally form a certain kind of personality.

However, she doesn't need this kind of superficial personality, so it's better for her to be in the middle of the age. Now, the oldest in the group is 19 years old, and the youngest is 15 years old, and his age is just right.

"The above is the second member of Hiragana Saka."

Listening to Staff-san's formulaic closing speech, Ozono and Kosaka, who was standing on the left-hand side, nodded and waved to the camera along with the nine companions, trying to show the highest smile.

"—Please take care of me from now on!"

The girls' shouts resounded through the studio.

……

……

"- Hello? Sister, yes, I was selected. ”

"—Hey...... Do you want to cry too? You know it, Akimoto-sensei can't let me lose the election, didn't you tell us everything? ”

"-Let me work my own or something, it's just a scene...... Really, sister, you're already a senior in the entertainment industry, you can't be like this, you can't read the sound outside the strings, you'll suffer. ”

"-Okay, okay, don't cry, didn't you say it all, if you do the center, you can't let the fans see so many tears?"

The uniformed teenager leaned against the vending machine, blowing bubble gum while talking on the phone, and his tone was full of pampering helplessness.

"-Anyway, goodbye on the road?"

Just for a moment, the juvenile voice that seemed to be clear water was suddenly replaced by a playful girl's voice that was fishing on the stage not long ago.

"-Senior ♡ ♡~"

Hanging up the phone, the young man stretched slightly against the sunset that shrouded him.

The uniform of a male high school student on his body, coupled with the light makeup that softens the lines of his face, makes his boyish and female face look like a boy, and at this time it is handsome that overshadows the pretty.

"-Good! Reward yourself with ramen! ”

Hiroshi Osono, now the second student of Hiragana Saka, the stunt is that women's clothing looks better than men's clothing, and the false sound is better than the real voice.

His hobby is ramen.

- As a Kyushu boy, of course.
