I had a dream of taking a nap, and today I wrote a chapter on the handshake party.

[Autumn 2021, ordinary international student Qiu Yang, idol kitchen setting]

“…… What kind of work are you doing......"

Qiu Yang, who came to the Hyugazaka handshake meeting for the first time, was a little nervous - the few times he went to Nogizaka's handshake meeting before, the correspondence he received was sweet and salty. came back to listen to the handshake giants at home and abroad take a class, and he realized that if he wanted to get a good correspondence, sometimes it was also very important to lay a good stalk for the little idol.

“…… Really, what kind of stalk do you think......"

It's strange to say, it's obvious that shaking hands is a kind of consumption behavior, but I still have to rack my brains to think about how to make the little idol easy to pick up and make the little idol experience better, it's too strange.

- Is this the so-called people-pleasing personality, or is it a dog licker?

"—next, you can go in."

The queue was close enough to hear the staff's voice, and he began to panic a little.

In order to get a good correspondence, this time the choice of individual grip members, he was also carefully selected, and the choice was ......

"-Ah, hello, is it the first time we met?"

When I came back to my senses, I was already seeing the girl's sweet smile - ahhh...... The angler's character is really powerful, and it really has a strong impact. But somehow, seeing the girl's carefully whitewashed smile, Qiu Yang suddenly became less nervous.

It's better to say that he is not naturally so bad at dealing with girls, and this kind of "artificial mass production" is even less lethal.

"—Hello, first meeting."

He said lightly.

"—Huh? It's so cold! Isn't it rice? ”

The girl's expression froze slightly, and it did not escape his attentive eyes - however, in the end, dealing with men was the basic professional skill, and she quickly switched to another "correspondence mode".

"—well, a friend brought it."

After telling a small lie, the time was almost up, and he took the initiative to withdraw the hand that was only symbolically held, and waved it as a farewell.

"And the coupon, see you later."

After that, he left without looking back.

————————————————————————

"Really, what am I doing......"

Qiu Yang stood at the end of the queue and covered his face in pain.

“…… What an awkward thing all of a sudden!! ”

The more serious and awkward side of his bones, I don't know why, when facing the girl's rather "flattering" smile, he was completely stimulated - he was obviously looking for a good correspondence and just wanted to treat the girl as a "commodity", but he was inexplicably angry.

“…… Hawkers, anyway, there's still a chance, let's apologize in a while. ”

Thinking wildly, he soon came to himself again.

“…… Ah, meet again. ”

- Should it be said that the handshake in the group corresponds to the top three, the speed of this recognition is too fast. When she saw him, in addition to the perfect smile as always, there was also a faint hint of unwillingness on the girl's face, which should not have been revealed. It's like saying, "This time, the old lady must charm you." ”

“…… Well, that's it. ”

She probably didn't expect that what Qiu Yang wanted was precisely these "unrevealed" parts - but he couldn't say it clearly.

"Hmm."

In the next second, he immediately had a bad heart again, this time, it was pretended to be cold.

“…… So, don't you know us Hinatazaka? ”

The girl was pitiful, and her eyes drooped slightly.

"Yes, come with a friend, and I will outnumber him."

It's not a lie.,This time I came to shake hands with another general member who likes Kosaka Nao.。 Originally, he was going to come to this column, but this time he was not possessed by the chief, and he didn't draw a girl in front of him, but he accidentally smoked a bunch of them.

"Well, did you just smoke me?"

"Hmm."

As soon as the words fell, the girl's smile brightened a few degrees - probably even if it was her own "single push", it was worth being happy.

"That's really fate! Do you know my name? ”

"I still know that."

Qiu Yang's hand was softly held, the strength was not too big or small, it was also like a carefully practiced posture, and it would gently hook the tiger's mouth, with some ambiguity of full firepower.

It's just that at this time, he completely lost the meaning of "enjoyment", and faintly had a posture of "not admitting defeat".

"-It's Miku-san Kanemura, right?"

Hearing herself pronounce her name, the girl smiled even more brightly, and just as the time was almost up, he was pushed to let go of his hand and turned away.

"You can only push small sushi! See you later~"

Listening to the girl introducing herself behind him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

"What......"

————————————————————

"Here we go again, hello~"

"By the way, what is small sushi?"

The third meeting, whether it was Qiu Yang and Jin Cun, they had a lot of room to spare, and as soon as they came up, Qiu Yang asked knowingly.

"Because I like to eat sushi, my nickname is also small sushi."

“…… Such. ”

Seeing that it was a little cold, Jin Cun suddenly panicked, and it was a novelty in Qiu Yang's eyes.

"W-That...... I don't know what to call you. ”

"Sauce is fine."

“…… Huh! Accidentally......! ”

Probably not expecting to say such a cute nickname with a cold face, the girl almost burst out laughing—just looking at him with a serious face, she held back her life.

"Then I and Yangjun know each other, right?"

"Well, there's a coupon, see you later."

When the time came, he pulled out his hand without hesitation and turned to leave.

"Nice to meet you!"

Hearing the girl's voice coming from behind, he subconsciously turned around and wanted to nod in response.

— only to find out that she was just talking to the next "guest".

——————————————————————

“……”

When she saw Xiao Sushi again, she looked distressed.

“…… What are you facing? ”

Seeing that he took the initiative to ask, Jin Cun had a triumphant look on his face and smiled.

"I'm thinking about how to make Yo-chan obsessed with Hinatazaka."

"No need to be to Hyugazaka."

He smiled and shook his head.

"—that's right for you."

“…… Ah, I'm ...... Cunning! ”

As if he didn't expect that he would suddenly straighten the ball and go to fish for her in turn, the girl actually blushed a little subconsciously.

It's just that when she raised her eyes and saw the man smiling playfully, she raised her little fist in protest.

"Hey! Bad eyes! ”

“…… I'm going to say bad things on the Internet, why do you still scold ......"

was smiling and about to withdraw his hand to leave, Qiu Yang was suddenly pulled closer, and the girl's face was so close. The sudden approach suddenly broke his disguise, and his cheeks subconsciously turned crimson.

“…… That's not going to scold you. Like you. ”

The sudden straight ball confession made Qiu Yang not react at once, and he was pushed away stupidly-what, in the end, this well-prepared trick can still sink himself.

“…… However, it's barely a one-to-one. ”

When it comes to breaking through camouflage, he is not so easy to give into.

————————————————————————

"—Huh? Is Yo-chan an international student? I didn't see it at all, but I was pretty good at Japanese! ”

"—Is it Huaxia? So I love you? ”

"——What, I rarely learned Chinese, Yang-chan is still too good!"

"—The University of Tokyo? Awesome! Obviously I don't look very smart......"

"—Don't come back! I'm wrong, I can't do it! ”

“……”

The next few queues passed in such conversations. Although Qiu Yang didn't want to admit it, his mood was indeed a lot better.

Moreover, he always has a strange self-confidence - he can be regarded as a funny self, and it can somewhat improve the mood of some girls who come out to shake hands and work, right?

Finally, it's matome time.

“…… Huh? Did Yo-chan come so early, I thought you had a lot of them......"

The rules of matome are still arranged according to the number of votes in hand, and Qiu Yang, who used up the coupons at one time, only had a dozen or so left, and among all the people who wanted matome, he was relatively high.

So as soon as he saw him, Kanemura immediately complained.

"—Hey, have you forgotten that I'm not here for you today? Why do you smoke so much? ”

"Alright, alright...... Am I wrong......"

Seeing that his expression was really a little unhappy, Jin Cun immediately confessed, and lowered his head as if he was admitting his mistake.

“…… Still, I'm glad to meet you. Fairly. ”

“…… Me too. ”

The girl's second answer didn't make Qiu Yang much happier, his expression was a little stiff, and he said in his heart, "It's the wrong answer."

“…… What's wrong? ”

Even the small sushi became nervous, thinking that he had stepped on some thunder point again.

"—I mean, it's really nice to know you."

He repeated, his tone even gritting his teeth. At the same time, he stared directly into the girl's eyes, and in turn clasped the girl with his hand, as if he was the idol who came to attend the handshake.

“…… Well. ”

It can be regarded as having some effect, the girl responded softly. There was a hint of blush on his face, but it was only for a moment, and it was hard to distinguish the real from the fake.

The next time, very luxurious, just held hands and spent it silently, both of their cheeks were a little red, and the time passed quite quickly.

"-Next time, will you come again?"

Before withdrawing his hand, Jin Cun suddenly held back, squeezed his palm hard, and said in a small voice.

“…… Well, let's talk about it. ”

said so coldly, but for the first time, he responded to the girl with a smile, and he also made up his mind in his heart, next time, he would still "only push small sushi".

"Well, see you next time."

He didn't look back at the last goodbye.

——————————————————

"How about the handshake of the small sushi! You've smoked so many tickets, it's really sour to me!! ”

Walking out of the exhibition hall with member Sang, he expressed his envy as soon as he came up.

“…… What's so sour about this, Kosaka over there isn't bad, right? ”

Qiu Yang responded like this, but in fact, there was a new entanglement in his heart.

——Will the correspondence of the so-called "out-of-model" that I am pursuing just another "model"? For example, a little shyness, such as a response to coldness, and so on...... After all, there are so many handshake kitchens and so many men, and it is not the first time that I have been in this situation.

At the end of the day, don't challenge someone else's career! What's going on with your kind of competitive mentality......

"Sure enough, little idol、It's really terrible-"

He suddenly sighed and shouted into the air.
