Nogizaka's Synchronized Coincidence

Chapter 48
In the first week of July, Kurokawa Aoi and the others ushered in a CM shooting job, which is the refreshing energy drink "Megashaki" of "Good Food" they endorsed. They also wanted to increase the momentum of their three orders. " popularity.

Participating members are Ikuta Erika, Ikoma Rina, Sakurai Reika, Shiraishi Mai, Nishino Nanase, Hashimoto Nanami, Hoshino Minami, Matsumura Sayori, and Kurokawa Aoi, a total of nine people.

Although there are only a few 30-second TV commercials, in order to attract the audience's attention, the production team of the commercials came up with an idea that I don't know how to evaluate.

"Our idea is that the main selling point of this product is refreshment, so how can we make people feel that kind of image that can make people suddenly wake up from a state of mental fatigue?"

Therefore, the result was that they were constantly under the waterfall, and were drenched to the ground more than 20 times.

Although the filming took place under the hot weather in July, they kept soaking in the water and there were waterfalls pouring down from their heads. They were already grateful that they didn't catch a cold.

Except for the location of the waterfall, the rest of the shooting was done indoors. It took a total of two days to complete. The shooting part of this commercial is over. As for the CM presentation, it is scheduled to be held on July 7. The commercial The theme song of "Rush! Bicycle" will also be used, which can be regarded as a win-win business cooperation.

On the morning of July 7th, on the bus from Tokyo to Makuhari Messe, Nanamin habitually leaned her head on the window to catch up on sleep. Next to her, Sayori was reading a manga with gusto. Maimai and Misa sat together and chatted softly, Xiao Nan happily ate the second or third bread, and Asuka beside her was watching intently, as if observing how much Xiao Nan could hold. The bread is in the stomach, Huahua is unilaterally studying philosophical issues with the oysters beside her, and Ichikuma sauce is in a dying state where the soul is about to leave the body.

Looking around the situation in the car, and then looking at the sackcloth with his head resting on his shoulder, after almost a year of living together, everything seems so natural, but today a figure that he had never seen before appeared in the car .

With a small body and a relatively large head, sitting quietly alone with a little excitement and anxiety on his face, that Akimoto Matsuri reappeared in their lives more than a month ago.

"Akimoto will be an apprentice in our various activities, and when the activities will officially start, I will inform everyone at an appropriate time."

Konno-san said so, so since then Akimoto's figure has appeared in various activities or programs, but it is temporarily out of the camera and the public's sight.

There is no resentment, nor any feeling of closeness, at least for Kurokawa Aoi and most of the members, the feeling about Akimoto Maki is the same. The comrades who have been fighting together for almost a year, this sudden appearance of the paratrooper has something in his heart. The idea is also very reasonable, especially the members of under seem to have seen an opponent who came to grab opportunities and resources with them.

"See if there is a chance, let's ease the relationship between everyone," Kurokawa Aoi thought to herself.

They went to Makuhari today to hold a national handshake meeting. Except for Ishirai who was absent due to academic reasons, Xiaobai and Hinaka, all the members and Akimoto came.

Before the official handshake meeting, they will hold a small live, including "Come on!" Shampoo", "Whistle to the Wolf", "House!", "The Poem of Nogizaka" and the first three singles "Rush! Bicycle" revealed in front of fans

The drive from Tokyo to Makuhari is not too far, and the whole journey takes less than an hour. After arriving at the venue, the girls began busy and orderly preparations.

Glancing at Akimoto Masuma who was sitting on the sidelines watching like an outsider, Kurokawa Aoi turned her eyes to him and called out, "Akimoto-san, can I trouble you to come and help me?"

Akimoto Matsuya, who was only able to watch but not participate, and who was feeling uncomfortable, heard Kurokawa Aoi's call, and hurried up to Aoi and asked, "Did you call me Kurokawa-san?"

"You don't have to be too polite, just call me Aoi, and I'll call you Manatsu too! I'm a bit busy right now, can I ask you to help me, okay?"

For the olive branch that Aoi Kurokawa handed over, Manazu happily took it on the spot while being grateful in her heart, and nodded yes.

"So Aoi sauce, how can I help?"

"Those of us who are a little older are used to helping those young people organize their hair and makeup before the event. Of course, there are professional beauticians who will do the final check, but because of the large number of people, we are all used to it. To help each other, can you give Huahua a basic dress up?"

Aoi, who was combing Xiao Asuka's hair, gestured with her chin to Ikuta Erikamichi who was watching them with wide eyes.

"Okay, no problem! Ikuta-san, I'll help you put on your makeup right now." Zhen Xia Mi said to Hua Hua with a smile on her eyes.

"Yeah, then I'm counting on you. You can call me Ikku-chan, and I'll call you Manatsu too! By the way, do you know why people die, and what happens after death? And"

After Huahua readily agreed, she dragged the dazed Manasuma away.

"Please don't hold grudges against me in your heart, Amen"

Aoi crossed herself and said a prayer in her heart.

Xiaogata live started at 8000:[-] in the morning. It started with the narration by Wan Lihua and Hina to welcome more than [-] fans at the scene. This time, it was Miss Yumi and Misai Senbei who were the MCs.

The first song was "Come on! Shampoo", due to Shilai's absence, she was replaced by Mai Mai, and the second song was "Whistle to the Wolf" by Under, with Sha Yuli and Yudan replacing the absent Xiaobai and Blackberry Candy.

Then came the self-introduction session of each member. When it came to Aoi Kurokawa, Maikai, Nanamin, Sayori and Misa came to her side together.

"??" Aoi Kurokawa immediately had a black question mark on his face.

"Everyone, our Kui Jiang will officially become an adult on this month's birthday, and those of us of the same age will also enter the world of adults. However, we will always be 17 years old!" Mai Yang shouted into the microphone. The fans also laughed loudly and clapped their hands in response.

When I came to the last self-introduction, Ms. Iwase said as soon as she opened her mouth: "I will not give up this position of being 17 years old forever!"

After a round of lively self-introduction, they continued to sing "House!" and "The Poem of Nogizaka". Our work has been affirmed, and we will do our best in the future to bring smiles to more and more people on a bigger stage.”

Many members shed tears of joy when they saw the cheering sticks waving continuously in the audience and the fans' enthusiastic reactions.

After Lingxiang finished speaking, all the members left the stage, and the lights in the arena dimmed. After waiting for a while, in the ears of fans who were a little confused and restless, the voice of Sarah Zero suddenly came.

"Today, we have prepared a special gift for everyone who has always supported us, I hope you will like it"

A piece of music played, and four members appeared on the stage holding a large white and purple plaid curtain, blocking the view of the fans in the audience. After the music stopped, the members put down the curtain and appeared on the stage. In front of the audience are the selection members wearing three singles song costumes.

With the brisk music of "Let's Go! Bicycle", the members who seemed to be frozen just now danced, and the fans in the audience responded enthusiastically to this surprise and called hard.

After the performance of this song was completed, the one and a half hour small live also officially ended.

After lunch and a short rest, the handshake meeting officially started at 3:[-] pm. Except for Aoi's group, the others were in groups of three.

In Kurokawa Aoi's group, besides her, Lily, Asuka, and Misa, fortunately, they don't have to worry about choosing private clothes as long as they wear uniforms.

"Asuka-chan, please send me a shame, can you?" A male fan looked at Asuka with a longing look.

"Okay! Here we come! Ah shy shy ~ ah shy shy ~ ah ~ shy ~ shy!"

Saito Asuka, with a strong face and a smile, satisfied the fan's request and made a shy shame for unknown reasons.

"So cute~!"

Satisfied fans were pushed away in excitement. Basically, after Asuka introduced herself as "Ashy" on the Xiaoxing live just now, the fans who came to shake hands with their group would stand opposite each other for the last position Asoka made such a request.

Aoi, Yurina and Misa next to Asuka, in addition to trying their best to hold back their laughter, gave Asuka a smile like an aunt who did such a cute behavior that can make people suffer from diabetes.

As for the mood of the person involved, Saito Asuka, okay!It seems that she has entered into a scene where she sees through the world of mortals and is completely silent.

After nearly three hours, the enthusiastic fans were finally sent away. When they returned to the lounge after a busy day, they all felt like they were falling apart.

"Everyone has worked hard today, take a good rest tomorrow and Sunday, and we will have a reflection meeting on Monday, and we will continue to work hard next week in Osaka. The other three singles will be the personal PV as a bonus, and the filming arrangements have been completed. Starting from next week, it will be added to everyone's work schedule. If you have any questions, please report to your agent. Now everyone can go back after packing up," concluded Yoshio Konno, who presided over the overall situation.

While everyone was tidying up, Kurokawa Aoi's sleeve was caught by a small hand.

"Aoi sauce, you promised to take me out to play earlier, so we'll go on a date tomorrow when you're on vacation?" Saito Asuka looked at Kurokawa Aoi with pitiful eyes.

"Then what kind of play does Asoka-sama want?" Aoi stretched out her hand and stroked Xiao Asuka's long, smooth black hair pamperingly.

"Emmmm, how about going shopping, watching movies and eating? You know that I rarely go out to play except with my mother. It was only after I entered Nogizaka that my peers like Maya, Yangcai and Xiaonan made friends with me and took me to play together" Xiao Asuka crooked After thinking hard for a while, I barely remembered the usual dating process from the books I had read.

Feeling a little sad for this sensitive and withdrawn little guy since he was a child, he hugged her into his arms and said softly: "As long as Asuka-chan is happy now, let them help you grow up in the past, don't let them Continue to tangle with yourself"

Saito Asuka's small face was buried deep in the soft valley of Kurokawa Aoi exuding a faint fragrance, but before enjoying it for a while, she blushed because of difficulty breathing, Aoi's covering area was too large.

"Aoi sauce, I can't breathe~" A muffled voice came from her arms, causing Aoi to let go of Asuka, who was blushing as much as a tomato.

Saito Asuka, who looked like a sunset on her face, looked resentfully at the lofty mountains that almost suffocated her just now, and then looked down at her own face, which was as flat as a mirror.

"Is there such a big difference between people?"

Asuka began to doubt life, but when he looked around at the other members beside him, such as Na-chan and Ikkuma who were talking, he immediately felt much better.

Aoi didn't know what was going on in Asuka's mind, but after waiting for a while Asuka didn't make a sound, she took the initiative to say, "Asuka-chan, I'll pick you up at your house tomorrow morning, and we'll have lunch together before we go. Go shopping, if there is a suitable movie, go to see it, how about it?"

Asuka who just woke up from a dream nodded and said, "Then it's settled, I'll tell mom when I get back."

I had no dreams until dawn. On the next Sunday morning, Aoi had breakfast and cleaned the house, and then went out before ten o'clock. As for the sackcloth?She won't leave her bed until noon.

After taking the subway for nearly an hour from Nakameguro in Aoi Kurokawa, I finally arrived at Asuka's house in Katsushika District.

"Good morning! Excuse me." Aoi bowed slightly and nodded to Mrs. Saito who opened the door for her.

"Hey, Aoi sauce is here! Come in and sit down. Asuka got up early in the morning, but she hasn't come down for some reason. Have you eaten? How about I get you something to eat?"

The enthusiastic and forthright mother Asuka faced the already familiar Aoi Kurokawa, and the words in her mouth were like bullets from a machine gun.

"No, no, no! I've already eaten in the morning, and I have an appointment with Asuka to have lunch later, so I won't bother you." Aoi followed Mother Asuka to the living room and sat on the sofa and replied.

"Okay, Kui Jiang, don't be polite to me. You are the first friend that Asuka child brought home. I can see that you also like and take care of her. Our Asuka sometimes has a small temper and talks. The attitude is impolite, Aoi-chan, please don’t mind and please forgive me.”

For this little daughter, Saito's mother is heartbroken. It's rare for Asuka to meet Kurokawa Aoi, who is also a sister and friend. Her own daughter also trusts and admires her very much. She is someone who can trust her little daughter to her. .

"Mom! Am I as difficult to get along with as you say? Do you think I often play petty temper and speak impolitely?"

Saito Asuka, who had just changed her clothes, came down from the room, and heard her mother scolding herself in front of Aoi sauce, so she refuted and questioned.

Today, Asuka chose a short-sleeved short-sleeved light blue dress with white dots on the bottom and white lace on the lower body, exuding a youthful and lovely atmosphere.

"Mom didn't mean that, I just wanted Kui Jiang to take care of you, ah! It's getting late, you go out and play, I have to prepare for lunch" Mother Asuka said and fled to the kitchen up.

"Asuka-chan's dress is so cute! So Asuka-sama, can we go?"

Saito Asuka, who smiled like a sunflower after being praised by Aoi, looked at Kurokawa Aoi, who was wearing a tight white T-shirt and a denim vest, with super long-legged denim hot pants and flat shoes on her lower body, as a girl She couldn't look away either.

"Aoi sauce is ridiculously beautiful no matter what she wears. No wonder you and Mai often appear in magazines. I dare not walk with you anymore."

On the way to the station after leaving Asuka's house, Saito Asuka blurted out under the constant gazes of passers-by on the street.

"Then I don't agree with your statement, Asuka-chan is one of the cutest and most beautiful girls I've ever seen, but you are still young, and in a few years you will definitely be a regular on the cover of magazines." Aoi lowered Asuka combed her hair and gently encouraged each other.

"Really? Can I do this? Aoi sauce really thinks I'm pretty and cute?" A series of rhetorical questions revealed Saito Asuka's lack of confidence in herself, but she had unconditional trust in Kurokawa Aoi.

"Didn't you say you want to marry me as your wife, then you have to work hard to become a person worthy of me, you know I'm very sought-after." Kurokawa Aoi joked about the little bird.

"Kwai Jiang, wait for me! I will try my best to become a person worthy of Kui Jiang, and I will marry you home as my wife!"

The two joking and joking took the subway to the Lumine department store in Shinjuku, ate a cake and French crepes at Harbs, and then wandered around the department store for more than an hour, just looking around but not buying anything.

"Does Asuka still want to go to the movies? If so, we're going to the movie theater." Looking at the time on the phone, Kurokawa Aoi asked.

"I want to watch a movie with Aoi-chan, but we haven't watched it together yet! The time before the company arranged to watch Spider-Man, and those of us who were underage couldn't go at night, which made me unhappy for a long time."

So the two walked to the Toho Cinema in Shinjuku. After choosing a movie "Firefly Light: Roman Holiday" starring Haruka Ayase, they bought popcorn and drinks and went in to find their seats.

"Aoi-chan, do you like acting in movies and TV dramas? You will be a member actress in the future. You are the best among us in terms of appearance and acting skills. You will not graduate from Nogizaka soon and become a full-time actress. ?”

Saito Asuka became more and more nervous as he spoke, holding Aoi Kurokawa tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that she would announce her graduation tomorrow.

"What are you thinking? I enjoy the fun of acting, but I also enjoy the experience of fighting with everyone. Nogizaka is still just starting, and I don't have any thoughts of graduating. You can rest assured. Even if you take ten thousand steps back To put it bluntly, just because I graduated from Nogizaka does not mean that my relationship with you will end, you, a little bird, can always come to me, and there will always be your place here.”

Kurokawa Aoi grabbed Asuka's hand and said, placing it where her heart was.

Saito Asuka, who came home that night, couldn't quite remember the content of the set she watched, because her head was full of the soft touch left on her hands, and Aoi sauce's love for her. A lifelong promise, she Saito Asuka will always have a place in Kurokawa Aoi's heart.

In a person's life, if he can meet someone who is truly willing to tolerate, accept, cherish, and accompany you, Saito Asuka feels that he has no regrets in this life.
