Nogizaka's Synchronized Coincidence

Chapter 10 Popularity Ranking First Personal Foreign Affairs

The meeting venue for this meeting was held at Studio Coast in Shinkiba, Tokyo.

Getting off the bus parked by the side of the road, the girls headed towards the venue. The members who were close to each other held hands, as if Yueyue and Lingxiang were intimate, making it impossible to squeeze in.The combination of Meicai Xianbei and Maiyang is a pair of gentle sisters, which is pleasing to the eye, but hearing them discussing who has better hand feeling, or communicating about the development status of other members, etc., can make all senior drivers feel ashamed.

Kurokawa Aoi and Saito Asuka, nicknamed "Mother Aoi and Baby Asuka" by other members, the latter is being dragged forward by the former.

"Asuka didn't forget to take the bento, right? I was busy combing your hair and feeding you this morning, so I forgot to remind you"

Kurokawa Aoi worked hard on this little bird, but the little bird was the youngest in the regiment and was of mixed race like herself, so she couldn't let go of it no matter what.

"I haven't forgotten it! I specially asked my mother to prepare it for me. I will let you taste the Burmese tamagoyaki made by my mother at lunch later. I have a helping hand."

Little Asuka had a proud expression on her face. Kurokawa Aoi had reservations about her contribution to making this bento. Can a girl who even feeds herself for breakfast make edible dishes?But you can't dampen the enthusiasm of the other party, so you can open your mouth if you appreciate it.

"Asuka has really become mature and reliable. She can cook her own food. She will definitely be a qualified wife in the future."

"I don't want to be someone else's wife, I want to marry Aoi sauce as my wife! My marriage, my marriage, Kurokawa Aoi さーん!!"

Covering Asuka's small mouth with one hand, black lines appeared on Kurokawa Aoi's forehead.

"Who did you learn this from? Are you going to marry a wife at a young age? First learn to eat and bathe by yourself without my company."

"Hmph..." Asuka, who had nothing to say, could only protest silently.

"Pfft! Hahaha~ This is the funniest way to say no to a marriage proposal I've ever heard."

Fukagawa Mai and Hashimoto Nanami, who were not far from them, watched and listened to the two people's small theater in front of them, and Nanamin, who was gloating at others' misfortune, couldn't help laughing out loud.

Saito Asuka, who broke free from Kurokawa Aoi's confinement, ran to Nanamin and shouted, "My marriage, my marriage, na na み ん さ ー ん!!"

This time it was Nanami Hashimoto's turn to look black, and Aoi Kurokawa and Mai Fukagawa covered their mouths and snickered.

In the end, it was Nanamin who gave the little bird a "education of love" to stop the girl's nonsense.

All 34 members who came to the venue were assigned to three lounges due to the large number of people.

"Everyone saw the shot when they came in, right? At the same time as the meeting and handshake meeting today, we will also record the material of "Where is Nogizaka?" Please follow the instructions and cooperate with the shooting."

Yoshio Konno, who is in charge today, said so.

After changing into their uniforms, putting on makeup and combing their hair, and saying hello to the guests and acting hosts Nosan and Hamaguchi-san, the members chatted with each other and waited for the recording and shooting of the program to start.

The girls in the room were noisy and joking with each other. When they realized that it was already meal time, the members took out the lunch boxes they had prepared.

It's just that the scholar-bureaucrat Sang who was present reminded them that they can only put it aside and not eat it, and they can't eat until after the shooting starts.

The same lounge is better than the older ones like Misa and Xiaokui, but a group of younger sisters like Huahua are already on the verge of exploding due to hunger.

"Huahua, didn't you just eat the gift from Misa's senbei? If you're really hungry, I'll give you this one."

Kurokawa Aoi handed Huahua the Jinchu Cake that Misa gave her just now, and after saying thank you, Huahua wiped it out in two or three bites, and put the wrapping paper into her backpack.

Fortunately, the two interim MCs appeared after a short wait. According to the procedure, the bento was inspected first. Xiao Asuka’s Burmese-style tamako-yaki was appreciated by Hamaguchi-san, and Misa’s murder scene bento, it’s hard to say whether it was accidental or deliberate. .

In the subsequent inspection of personal belongings, the wrapping paper of Jin Chu Cake was able to make a big fuss, resulting in the "Jin Chu Cake Incident", which shows that the two of the good boy group are quick-witted and have rich experience in variety shows.

After the shooting task was completed, the girls could finally let go of eating.Kurokawa Aoi was also hand-fed by Saito Asuka, and tasted the Burmese-style tamagoyaki made by her mother, which tasted really good.

Regarding Xiao Asuka's behavior, Kurokawa Aoi felt as if she had pulled the grown-up child with her own hands, and finally knew how to be filial to herself, and she showed a comforting smile, and the other members who looked at them also smiled like aunts.

After dinner, the handshake meeting is about to begin.All 46 members of Nogizaka 34 came to gather in the open space outside the backstage of the venue, and the shooting team and acting MC good boy Sang were also on the sidelines.

The girls formed a circle and invited Hamaguchi Yuu and Arino Shinya to the center.

"Are you all ready to have a big fight?"

"Yeah~!!"

"1, 2, work hard! Thank you! Smile! We are Nogizaka Uego no Saka46!!"

Every circle and slogan seems to integrate the spirit and emotion of the girls into a container called "Nogizaka 46", allowing them to move upward together as if adding gas.

The meet and shake meeting officially started under the anticipation of thousands of fans. First, the members introduced themselves one by one. With past experience, the members were not so timid, and their performance was naturally much more interesting.

Hua Hua's song "Think of me" shocked everyone, and Xiao Shi's funny jokes also played steadily, attracting endless laughter from the audience.In addition to the stalk of mayonnaise, the sackcloth style can also satisfy the audience's appetite by simply playing hula hoops with good looks.

When it was Kurokawa Aoi's turn, she still introduced herself in four languages: Japanese/French/English/Chinese, and then sang half of the song "Tonight" from Disney's "The Lion King" in these four languages. Feel my love" (Can you feel the love tonight), singing the same song in different languages ​​with a clear and moving voice, whether it is the fans in the audience, the staff in the field or even the members on the stage They were all very pleasantly surprised and full of freshness.

After all the members introduced themselves, today's event began to enter the second part. The 34 members were divided into five groups, and they came to shake hands and talk with fans within a limited time.Just like last time, each fan can only choose one member to shake hands. This move made all DDs feel sad. We can only hope that the operation of Nogizaka46 will hold more handshake activities as soon as possible.

Aoi Kurokawa was placed in the fifth group, which is the last group, together with members such as Maiyan, Mimi, Ikoma-chan, Yurina, Rena, and Sayuri.

After reading a book in the lounge, he chatted with Maiyang and Sayori.

In private, Sha Yuri is completely different from the show and in front of fans. She is more passive and silent, and will not take the initiative to find someone to confide in, but she is very enthusiastic about herself and Mai, and will take the initiative to come to them and hug them from time to time. Hugging and acting like a baby, acting like a child, although it is really cute.

No, Sayori just hugged the sackcloth just now, and now she is squeezing into Kurokawa Aoi's arms, twisting and turning like a kitten, making a "hmmmm" sound.

"Sa Yuri, the makeup on your face like this is almost gone"

After saying this in a gentle but affirmative tone, Aoi Kurokawa gently pushed Sayu Ri away a little, and stroked the other person's head gently with her right hand. Sometimes it was hard to believe that the other party was born in the same year as her, but it was more like a mischievous sister.

"I know! But I just like Aoi sauce, so I want to get closer."

"What about me? Ah Song, are you just empathizing with each other? Woooooo~"

The sackcloth on the side was unwilling to be lonely, and started to perform again.

"Ah, no! I like sackcloth the most, kiss~"

"Hmph! Now I'm the one who has moved on, Aoi-chan~" After finishing speaking, she slammed into Kurokawa Aoi's arms, repeating what Sara Yuri did just now.

I don't know how long it took, and I didn't feel how long it took to wait for their turn.

Each member came to their own independent area, and after everyone took their positions, Scholar-bureaucrat Sang began to let the fans go and queue up for the members they promoted.

"Aoi sauce, you are beautiful! I will always support you, come on!"

The first fan to appear was a young man in his 20s, dressed in clean clothes, with an excited expression on his face wearing glasses.

"Thanks for the support, may I know your name?"

Kurokawa Aoi showed a sweet smile and asked kindly.

"I'm Toshiaki Mizutani, Keio's sophomore, please remember me—"

Before he finished speaking, he was sent away by the scholar-bureaucrat Sang who pushed him away.

Aoi Kurokawa turned around and waved goodbye to Toshiaki Mizutani, flattering him and shouting "I'll be back", emmmm are you a Terminator?

Shaking hands will consume more physical energy than expected. Standing for a long time and responding to interactions without interruption may not consume brain power, but maintaining a smiling face for a long time full of energy is also a lot of mental load.

Repetitive behavior can make people distracted, but fortunately, Aoi Kurokawa has a way to stay awake.She loves to read, and has a special interest in the humanities. Books such as history, philosophy, and psychology are must-haves.From the books, I have dabbled in theories and techniques such as behavioral psychology and personality analysis.

So now facing everyone who came to shake hands, in addition to making normal responses on the surface, they also analyze each other in their hearts like playing a reasoning game. Deepen the impression in my mind of the fans I have met, and remember some of their details and characteristics.

Thinking about the meal just now and trying to classify the other party, a different sentence made her pause for a second before reacting.

"Hi, Kui Jiang is very glad to meet in person. My name is Li Yongkang, an international student from Huaxia" is Chinese with a perfect accent.

"Ah! Hello, thank you for coming, Mr. Li. Your appearance really surprised me! Can I ask how you met Nogizaka46 and me?" Kurokawa Aoi also responded in Chinese after being surprised.

"I have been in Japan for more than two years. I originally paid attention to AKB48. Recently, I learned that there was an official opponent, so I paid attention to it. Later, I watched "Where is Nogizaka?" and learned that you can speak Chinese, Aoi sauce, so I made a special trip today. Come to see you, you really speak fluently.”

"I am very happy for your attention, and thank you for your support. I will come here often in the future, Li Yongkang"

While being pushed away, Li Yongkang shouted: "I will come here often, and I will recommend you to my friends, come on, Xiaokui!"

"Thank you, bye!"
-
After holding the last fan and sending her away, Aoi Kurokawa left her area with a tired body, just in time for Mai Shiraishi to come, and the two came together.

"My legs are weak from standing, and the muscles on my face are almost stiff from laughing. Aoi, please give me a massage."

The whole portrait of Mai Shiraishi has lost her waist, lying limply on Kurokawa Aoi, acting like a spoiled child.

"Okay, okay, let's talk when I go back, I'm thirsty and hungry now, let me drink and get drunk first, then you can do whatever you want"

The two returned to the backstage together. The other members and Yoshio Konno had been waiting for a long time, and everyone's eyes were on them.

Mai Shiraishi and Aoi Kurokawa hurriedly checked their clothes to make sure that nothing was missing before meeting everyone's eyes.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at us like this?" Kurokawa Aoi asked strangely.

Yoshio Konno did not answer directly, but announced to everyone: "Today's handshake meeting was successfully completed, and the statistics are now released. Kurokawa Aoi and Shiraishi Mai tied for the first place in the number of handshakes, the second was Takayama Kazumi, and the third One is Sayuri Inoue, the fourth is Ikoma Rina, and the fifth is Matsumura Sayuri."

The members listened to the announced results quietly, with various emotions in their hearts, and at the same time recognized the fact that everyone is a partner as well as a competitor, good or bad data can't deceive people, and the results are not as good as expected You can only try your best to improve yourself, but those who are satisfied with your grades have to work hard to keep your position.

In any case, the additional handshake meeting on the first day was successfully concluded.With the hope that they can work harder, the members also worked hard to complete the second handshake meeting on the 24th, but the rankings did not change much in terms of results.

It was also the end of October. On the way to the practice class this afternoon, Aoi Kurokawa received a call from her mother.

"Moses, is it sunflower sauce?"

"Why are you free to call your lovely daughter? Don't you have to work now?"

"Of course I'm at work, but I also want to hear my lovely daughter's voice for comfort, can't I?"

"Okay, Ms. Chloe, what on earth are you looking for me for?"

"Of course it's a good thing. I've already communicated with Konno-san. Let him tell you the details. I'm just preparing you mentally. That's it. Bye."

After hanging up the phone and arriving at the Nogizaka Building, I was told by the waiting scholar-bureaucrat that I had to go to Yoshio Konno's office to find him.

"Excuse me, Konno-san, do you need me?" After arriving at Konno's office, Kurokawa Aoi said hello and sat on the chair in front of the other party's desk.

"It's something, and it's a very good thing. Aoi Kurokawa, you're going to be a guest star in an episode. Although there's only a few minutes of footage in one episode, it's our first invitation to perform at Nogizaka46."

"Can I know what kind of drama it is?" Aoi Kurokawa has no objection to this matter. When she was a child living in the United States, she was often used by her parents as free labor, and she played guest roles in various drama groups and the public actor.

"It's an episode about food, the name. It seems to be "The Lonely Gourmet"?"
