Nogizaka's Synchronized Coincidence

Chapter 3 37/[-]
"Participants in the selection will be divided into groups of ten, and they will come forward for review according to their respective numbers. Now, please come on stage with me from the 1st to the 10th."

Half a minute later, ten girls lined up in order and followed the staff member who spoke just now.

"Mai, relax! Take a deep breath and don't think too much. Don't be afraid, I'm right here." Seeing Mai Shiraishi's face paler than usual, he knew that this guy was scared.

"Woo" frowned and pursed his mouth, his mouth screamed like a small animal, and his eyes showed the meaning of "I want to go home". If he hadn't proposed it himself and asked Kurokawa Aoi to accompany him to participate in the selection, Shiraishi Mai 10 minutes ran away before.

In desperation, Aoi Kurokawa performed his nirvana, hugging Mai Shiraishi into her arms like when she was a child, pressing the back of the opponent's head with one hand, and swiping back and forth with the other hand, saying "Don't be afraid, I I'm here, don't be afraid, I'm here."

It was a way to coax a three-year-old child, but it was extremely effective for Mai Shiraishi, and she gradually relaxed in Kurokawa Aoi's arms.Whether this method is effective, or because of the caster himself, only Mai Shiraishi can provide the answer.

Nanami Hashimoto, who witnessed everything from the sidelines, found it funny, but also felt a little bit of envy for the relationship between the two. "When was the last time I was hugged and cared for by my parents?" Except for being hugged by her parents when she was young, Hashimoto Nana has not been able to find similar fragments in the long river of memory.

The three were intoxicated in their own thoughts, until the staff member came back and spoke, bringing their thoughts back to the scene.

"Now please follow me from the 11th to the 20th"

"Go, Mai. Remember not to be nervous, I will be with you no matter what happens"

"Thank you, Aoi! See you later"

As Shiraishi Mai's back disappeared from sight, Kurokawa Aoi withdrew her gaze.

"You two have such a good relationship." Hashimoto Nanami's voice was full of appreciation and envy.

"I think it's fate. We have known each other for more than ten years. She is the first and most important friend I met in Japan," Kurokawa Aoi responded with a smile.

"In Japan? You were not born in China? Also, you are of mixed race, right?"

"My mother is a mixed race of Vietnamese overseas Chinese and French. I was born in California, USA. I came back with my parents when I was eight years old and grew up in Gunma."

Hashimoto Nana's eyes lit up when she didn't hear it, and she asked immediately.

"You grew up in California, did you watch NBA games live? My hobby is basketball, and it is my dream to be able to watch NBA games in person!"

"Speaking of which, I have actually been there. My dad is a Lakers fan. He often brought my mom and me to watch games. The atmosphere was really lively."

Time passed silently as the two chatted happily. When Nanami Hashimoto was still discussing her favorite player in the Lakers with Aoi Kurokawa, she was forcibly interrupted by a familiar male voice.

"Now please follow me from the 21th to the 30th"

Aoi Kurokawa, Nanami Hashimoto, and the other eight girls lined up according to their numbers, and followed the staff leading the way to the screening venue.

On a temporary stage, in front of the black curtain, there is a checkered background board composed of purple and white right-angled triangles. The spotlight hits the center of the stage, as if waiting for the next girl to run for election.

There were more than a dozen middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes sitting under the stage, as well as a group of journalists holding cameras and video recorders. With many staff members scattered throughout the venue, dozens of pairs of eyes met those who had just stepped onto the stage. The ten girls silently commented.

After seeing the girls standing in the arranged positions, the host picked up the microphone.

"Number 21, Kurokawa Aoi, please come forward"

The girl who was called came slowly to the spotlight, took the microphone handed to her by the staff, and stood quietly in the center of the stage.

There were gasps of "hissing" and different sounds of admiration from all over the venue at the same time. It was obvious that everyone present was amazed by Aoi Kurokawa's appearance.

Combining the different advantages of the East and the West, the 360-degree face with no dead ends, the tall but curvy figure, is like a perfect figure with the golden ratio.

Various adjectives such as "beauty with nine heads", "goddess of perfection", "elf princess" and so on automatically came to the minds of everyone off the stage.

"The appearance of this quality may only be comparable to that of Shiraishi Mai, who has just been on the 20th. These legs are really amazing," one of the judges, Yoshio Konno, couldn't help thinking.

"Please introduce yourself." The host started the review process.

"Hi everyone! I am Kurokawa Aoi, I am 19 years old, born in California, USA, and grew up in Gunma County. My hobbies are reading and sports. I can speak, read and write Chinese, English, French, and Japanese, and the rest. Do you have experience in martial arts?"

"Thank you, so what song did you choose to sing?" the host asked.

"The song I chose today is "First Love" by Mitsu-san Utada"

Akimoto Yasushi, who was still looking at the registration form in his hand just now, raised his head with a little surprise, and his voice came out through the microphone in front of him.

"It seems that you have a little confidence in your singing ability. This is not an easy song to sing. Are you sure you choose this one for this occasion?"

"First of all, I like this song very much. Secondly, there are challenges to be motivated, right?" Kurokawa Aoi replied as usual, calmly.

Akimoto Yasushi nodded slightly and stopped talking, but in his heart he was quite satisfied with the girl's response without stage fright.

The prelude including guitar and piano sounded, and Kurokawa Aoi's humming was casual and light, with a touch of sadness in the melancholy.

"The last のキスは

tabako no flavor ga shita

Nigakute せせない香り"

Slightly deep voice, breathing steadily singing.

"Tomorrow no today is niwa
あなたはどこいるんだろう

Who wants to ってるんだろう”

The singing voice rises an octave along with the music, from a slightly low-pitched improvement to a high-pitched falsetto.

"You are always gonna be my love
いつかWho かとまた爱にDrop ちても
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
今はまだ感しいlove song
New しい歌うたえるまで"

In the chorus part, Aoi Kurokawa uses a pure American accent and is full of explosive emotions, freely switching between high and low singing voices.

Due to the time limit, the part of singing censorship ends here. Many people feel sorry for this, and hope to hear Aoi Kurokawa finish singing this song.

"Now let the judges ask questions" The moderator faithfully performed his duties.

"Well, why did you participate in the selection of Nogizaka46?" It was Yoshio Konno who asked the question.

"The main reason is to accompany friends to participate in the election, and maybe because of family members, I have a little interest in the entertainment industry."

Looking at the registration form in his hand, there seemed to be a familiar name in the column of parents. Yoshio Konno nodded and had no other questions.

The rest of the judges looked at each other, as if they understood each other's thoughts and did not ask other questions.

"For the last project, please take a catwalk back and forth on the stage"

Aoi Kurokawa imagined a little, and the scene of the model walking in the catwalk in her mind, walked through it like a gourd.

"Thank you, you can go back to your place"

Arriving at the starting position, Hashimoto Nanami next to her showed a look of appreciation in her eyes, and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Kurokawa Aoi nodded, silently mouthed "Thank you, come on"

One after another, time passed quietly with repeated behaviors. After the last cute girl named Sayuri Matsumura completed the review process, they were taken back to the waiting room by the staff just now.

Shiraishi Mai, who had been waiting early, rushed into Kurokawa Aoi's arms impatiently.

"You're back! I was really nervous just now, but I finished it smoothly." Mai Shiraishi was like a lost child who finally found her parents.

"That's great, Mai has worked hard, it's amazing." Aoi Kurokawa knows the key to coaxing children - praise and affirm more.

When the two were about to continue their conversation, the staff member who had just taken the next group of candidates came back.

"Please come with me from the 1st to the 30th. You have to change into your uniforms. After a while, everyone will arrive at the venue and wait for the results to be announced. Time and space are limited, so go and change your uniforms first."

30 girls came to the room where the uniforms were collected in a hustle and bustle, holding uniforms of the same size according to their bodies, and lined up to enter the changing room.

When Aoi Kurokawa, who was wearing a JK uniform, came in front of Mai Shiraishi, who was also dressed in the same outfit, she was relatively speechless for a while, and this outfit was really hard to describe.

Everyone returned to the waiting lounge and sat on the same seats. Nana Hashimoto looked at the girls in JK uniforms in the room, the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably, but she looked down at the same clothes on her body, and immediately covered her head with her hands Doubt arises.

"Hashimoto-san's shape is very cute," Kurokawa Aoi said with a hint of gloating.

"Kurokawa-san is really cute. If you don't say it, people will think you are an active high school student." It is human nature to hurt each other and have fun in bitterness.

Because of her shy personality and poor eloquence, Shiraishi Mai could only quietly watch the two of them quarreling, but her heart was a little sour, like a favorite toy, feeling like being occupied by other children.

Maybe it was a subconscious movement, or feeling the radio waves from the people around her, Kurokawa Aoi reached out and took Mai Shiraishi's hand.

A reassuring smile appeared on Mai Shiraishi's face again.

After an unknown amount of time, the staff member appeared in front of them again.

"It seems that everyone is ready, please follow me, and now the final selection list will be announced."

Girls with different moods came to the stage of the selection venue, lined up in order, and waited anxiously for the final judgment.

"Then, the final results of the review will be announced now. Those who have read their names and numbers, please come to the stage." It is still the host just now, who will lead them to heaven or hell.

"Number 2, Rina Ikoma"

"Number 3, Ichigo Rena"

…………..
"Number 20, Mai Shiraishi"

"Number 21, Aoi Kurokawa"

"Number 22, Nanami Hashimoto"

…………..
"No. 56, Aso pear"

"No. 57, Honoka Yamamoto"

"The above 37, congratulations! From now on, you will become a member of Nogizaka46"
