"What are you two talking about? There's already a place in the locker room. ”

Nanase Nishino and Mai Shiraishi turned their heads together.

"Dry... Why? Sakurai Reika was a little hairy by the two of them, and couldn't help but shrink her neck, "Did I disturb you?" ”

"Nothing." Nanase Nishino smiled, and then set off to the locker room.

Mai Shiraishi followed.

There were a lot of members walking around the hallway, and the two were just one of many figures, and there were staff members holding camera equipment around, and Mai Shiraishi guessed that it should be used to shoot tidbits or documentary extras or something.

Now that she's been 18 years, she's familiar enough with the processes.

The two big tops walk together one after the other, which is naturally an eye-catching scenery, and it is naturally indispensable to greet the juniors who have been bumped into.

At this time, the first-term students were already familiar with the third-term students, and although they were not able to do everything, the first-term students were now able to recognize all the third-term students at the same time, and they still had occasional contact with them in private in places other than work.

The degree of correspondence depends on the members and the situation.

Mai Shiraishi was a difficult girl to contact when she first joined the group, but now, she has become the "most gentle" and "most accessible" one in the eyes of her juniors.

As for Nanase Nishino, she has her own set of rules: neither active contact nor resistance to interaction. Usually she won't refuse to chat with her juniors or something, but if you want her to take the initiative to contact a junior member, it is indeed a difficult thing.

So in the eyes of the third-term students, she is an easy-going but not overly intimate senior.

The two bumped into the trio of Umezawa Iwamoto and Ozono in the hallway, who seemed to have just come out of the locker room.

Iwamoto Renka wanted to say a few more words to the two seniors, but Umezawa Minami saw something, and after saying hello, he pulled the two away with great discernment.

"Goodbye, senior." The soft and glutinous goodbye sound was made by the peach of the big garden.

Mai Shiraishi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and when she turned around, she realized that Nanase Nishino had already taken a step ahead.

There was no camera equipment in front of them, only members and some female staff.

Through the door panel, Mai Shiraishi could hear the high-pitched singing voice of Ikuta Erika.

Nogizaka's concert actually has two concerts a day, which is a trivia.

She followed Nanase Nishino and pushed the door into the locker room.

It's the end of August, but it's spring in the locker room.

Nanase Nishino turned his head and looked at Mai Shiraishi, who came over with his clothes, a little puzzled.

The idiot attributes of Mai Shiraishi circulating on the Internet are a little exaggerated in the eyes of Nanase Nishino, but she knows that Mai Shiraishi does belong to the category of the group's style that is not very checked, but no matter what, she doesn't remember that she is Mai Shiraishi's favorite target.

"How's it going? What did I just propose? ”

It turned out to be this.

Nanase Nishino stopped taking clothes from the closet, she felt that Mai Shiraishi was too concerned about Yuno Suzuki, no matter what, the two had not known each other for a few days.

But to be honest, she's actually quite interested in Yuno Suzuki.

Then let's find a chance to meet.

"I don't care, it's you, how do you arrange it?"

"It's simple.,Yuno just passed the selection now.,It's very free.,As long as Na-chan you're free, it should be OK.。

"Isn't she Aichi?"

"Yes, then let's wait for her to go to Beijing, anyway, it's not in a hurry."

"I think you're the one who is most anxious."

"Eh, I think that scene must be interesting then!"

"Shiraishi-san, how old are you this year?"

"Three-year-old, what's wrong?"

Nishino Nanase once again felt Mai Shiraishi's difficulty, it stands to reason that the other party is a person who is about to run three, why is his personality still so jumpy in private.

But she doesn't hate it.

The two talked for a long time, and they didn't start changing their clothes, and when they saw that there were fewer and fewer people in the dressing room, they gradually made a move, and after a while, at the same time that Mai Shiraishi was changing, Nishino Nanase was almost finished.

Looking around, Nanase Nishino noticed that there were not as many people around her as she had just now, and as if she had made up her mind, she pressed the last button of her shirt hard.

"Now, Mai."

"Huh?"

Mai Shiraishi blinked, and she looked at Nanase Nishino's pursed lips, and the world in her ears seemed to become quieter.

"Let's all find a time to have dinner next month, and you can bring that kid with you by the way."

"Eh——, is that okay?"

Nanase Nishino ignored Mai Shiraishi, who was shocked, and said to herself: "And ......"

Mai Shiraishi saw Nanase Nishino raise her head, and her indescribable light shone in her eyes that were so familiar.

"I'm going to graduate, Mai."

……

At the beginning of September, the summer vacation has just ended and the semester has just begun.

It also belongs to Yuno Suzuki, a moment of great significance.

She received an email from the office today, which was the notification that she had been assigned to Nogizaka.

Reaping the joy with her, there is also Endo Sakura next door, and perhaps, there is also a far away Tsutsui Saimo.

After the 82 people who passed the third review in this selection passed the self-introduction, singing review, and answering questions, a total of 39 people from the three groups were qualified, and the pass rate was about 3,400 times.

The group that qualified the applicant will join has been decided at the beginning of this month, but it has not been made public for the time being, but there are 11 students in the fourth stage of Nogizaka 46, 9 students in the second stage of Keyakizaka 46, and 1 person in the third stage of Hiragana Keyakizaka 46.

Obviously, the above 21 people are far less than 39 people, and the remaining people who have not joined the group are expected to be assigned to the "Sakamichi Trainees".

This is a graduate school system similar to that of Nogizaka's second year students, and we don't want to talk about the quality of this system, but now, many kilometers away from Aichi, in Tokyo, another unknown event is happening in a conference room.

On April 25 this year, Nogizaka's 20th single "Synchronous Coincidence" was officially released, and in the same month, the first C Rina Ikoma graduated.

Four months later, on August 8, Nogizaka released his 21st single "Self-Centered! 》。

According to the usual progress, preparations for the 22nd order should also be underway.

And that's exactly what happened.

In the conference room, just now, the staff released the 22nd selection list.

Nogizaka ushered in the year 2018, after Mai Shiraishi and Asuka Saito, the third center, and the first and only member of Nogizaka to stand in the center for seven times-

Nanase Nishino.

Now, it's the turn of the member with an extraordinary resume to deliver his acceptance speech.

The huge conference room became silent, and only one person's voice remained:

"22 will be the last single I will participate in."

"Please advise me for the remaining three and a half months."

"Report above."
