Nogizaka's Synchronized Coincidence

Chapter 2 Final Selection

From the day they met, Aoi Kurokawa and Mai Shiraishi are like magnets and iron, inseparable from each other.The first time I saw the other person, the throbbing from the depths of the soul, the desire to get close to the person in front of me, and pour out my thoughts and feelings to the other person without reservation.

Their homes are only a few minutes’ walk away. During the summer vacation, they meet in the park after having breakfast, travel and adventure within the scope of this small community, or play various simple and childish games in the park. .After going home for dinner at noon, they hurried back to the park, waiting for the other party to appear, repeating the behavior in the morning until the sunset, but the two of them didn't care about it, and they never got tired of it.

Mai Shiraishi is the first friend Kurokawa Aoi met after she came to Japan, and also the most important friend in her life.

After the summer vacation, the two born in the same year went to the same school, the same class in Numata East Elementary School, Class B of the second grade.Go to school together, go home after class together, play crazy together, and study and do homework together.

From elementary school to the second grade of junior high school, the two spent seven years together.

Each other's life trajectories are like wicks, twisted into a ball and intertwined with each other, making it difficult to separate you from me.

Of course, everyone is a unique individual.

Under the long-term relative day and night, the characteristics of the two are also fully revealed with the years.

For example, Mai Shiraishi likes to imitate and be funny, and is silly and cute from time to time. She looks cold but is cowardly on the inside, and she is so stupid in studies that it makes people vomit blood.

Kurokawa Aoi, who looks like a beautiful mixed-race lady, eats more than boys of the same age, and there are violent elements who beat her up when she gets angry, and fight without any defeat.

This is due to Kurokawa Aoi's grandfather. Li Jianyang adored Bruce Lee crazily when he was young, and even joined the "Zhenfan Guoshu Museum" in California to learn martial arts.When Aoi Kurokawa was less than three years old, in addition to teaching her Chinese, Li Jianyang also let her practice Jeet Kune Do until she returned to Japan.

Physical development and motor nerves are good, and in order to pass the time when bored, Kurokawa Aoi uses Jeet Kune Do as a way of exercising in her daily life.

In the first year of junior high school, Mai Shiraishi chose to join the softball club, and Aoi Kurokawa had to join with her.After drafting she became a pitcher and Shiraishi was selected as a third baseman.

She spent the first year of junior high school happily, but because of the boring jealousy of the so-called seniors in the school, she and Mai Shiraishi kept attacking her and Mai Shiraishi with harsh words.

But unfortunately he met Aoi Kurokawa, and of course ended up with a bruised face after a fat beating.

------

Mai Shiraishi returned home accompanied by Aoi Kurokawa, and expressed her attitude of not wanting to go to school with her parents and sister, and Aoi Kurokawa also explained the reason for the incident.

After learning about her youngest daughter's experience and mood, Mrs. Baishi shed tears of heartache. Father Baishi was relatively calm on the surface, but his frowning brows expressed his true feelings.

Sister Baishi was even more heartbroken and cursed: "Those damn bastards! I will fight them!"

"Onee-san, calm down. I have already taught them a lesson. This time, Mai met them alone. I promise that as long as I am in front of them, they dare not do anything."

For Kurokawa Aoi, who is like Siamese twins with Mai Shiraishi, and she also watched her grow up, the Shiraishi family has great trust. At least she is much more reliable than her own silly daughter in important matters.

"Well, you are now in the second grade of junior high school, and your seniors will also graduate and leave. Mai and Xiaokui have to be patient for a while, and finish junior high school first. I will communicate with Mr. Kurokawa to discuss it. You go to other places to go to school in high school," Baishi's father gave the final word.

With the consent of both parents, Aoi Kurokawa and Mai Shiraishi, after graduating from junior high school, transferred to Komatsuhara High School in neighboring Saitama Prefecture.Mai Shiraishi, who has a pure and caring personality, is working hard to obtain the qualification of a childcare teacher, while Aoi Kurokawa, who has a good academic performance, has the advantage of knowing several foreign languages, and her goal is English and Chinese literature.

However, fate is always unexpected. In the third year of high school, Shiraishi and Kurokawa's career counseling teacher recommended them to a professional music school.

Embracing the bright dream of acting career, Mai Shiraishi launched all kinds of stalking to Aoi Kurokawa. She was as shameless as she was soft and hard, and was finally persecuted and nodded in agreement. Kurokawa Aoi graduated from high school. The latter two entered the Tokyo Music and Dance College.

Although Kurokawa Manto and his wife don't really want Kurokawa Aoi and Shiraishi Mai to enter the entertainment circle, but because of their relatively open and free thinking of receiving Western education, and the fact that their daughter, who spends a lot of time together, can go to Tokyo to live with them, it is also I chose to let her go.

When I was in the class at the college, I learned that Sony and Akimoto Yasushi were cooperating through the recommendation of the instructor, and planned to establish a female idol group called "Nogizaka 46" as the official opponent of AKB48.

Holding the mentality that it’s okay to give it a try, at the instigation of Mai Shiraishi, Aoi Kurokawa agreed to sign up with her and participate in the selection.

With their outstanding appearance and figure, they easily passed the first few reviews, and received a notice to go to the SME Nogizaka Building in Tokyo on August 8 to accept the final selection review.

On the morning of the final selection, she wore a short-sleeved dress with black and white polka dots, a flaxen-brown shawl with long straight hair, and Shiraishi Mai with a golden hairpin on her face. Because of her nervousness, she had no expression on her face, and her coldness was daunting.

"Mai, pay attention to your expression, don't scare those children to tears." The upper body is a silky white lady's short-sleeved shirt, and the lower body is a black knee-length gauze skirt, a simple black and white two-color match.The focus is on the admirable curvature of the upper body, the pair of slender and perfect calves, and the face that seems to have come to the real world from anime works.

After registering at the reception desk of the building, take your own number plate and stick it on your body, follow the instructions to the waiting area for the selectors, and sit down according to the number.

Mai Shiraishi, No. 20, pursed her lips, clasped Kurokawa Aoi's right hand with trembling hands, brought her lips close to the other's ear, and asked softly.

"Are you not nervous at all? My mind is blank now, and I can't even remember the self-introduction I prepared."

"What's the use of being nervous now? I gain my luck and lose my life. How can I know it's not a blessing?" Kurokawa Aoi summed up her current attitude in sixteen words from the Chinese books she read on weekdays.

Mai Shiraishi's beautiful big eyes flickered, and the blank eyes perfectly showed the feelings of the owner of the eyes. If the thought can be realized, a big question mark will appear on Mai Shiraishi's head.

"I'm lucky if I get it, but my life is lost. How can I know that it's not a blessing? It's a simple sentence with a deep meaning." A voice with a girlish voice sounded from the left of Kurokawa Aoi.

"I'm sorry! I didn't intend to eavesdrop on your conversation, but I just expressed my feelings for the sentence you just said. If I disturbed you, I apologize to you."

The speaker has short hair about the same length as himself, a high nose bridge, bright and round eyes exuding a calm and intellectual charm, a little baby fat on both cheeks, a white shirt and gray jeans, It's not quite like participating in the idol selection, but it's the dress to go to the work place.

"It's okay, I'm just looking for something to say to relax when I'm nervous. Hello, I'm Aoi Kurokawa on the 21st, and she's my friend Mai Shiraishi on the 20th. Both are 19 years old and come from Gunma Prefecture"

"Hi, I'm Nanami Hashimoto on the 22nd, from Hokkaido"
