The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

When we face certain embarrassments or are shy about certain scenes, we usually suddenly point to the sky, the TV, or even behind the person, etc., and say loudly, look, there is a flying saucer, look, potato chips are half price in the supermarket next door, look, look.

Look at who is on the stage, etc. The purpose of doing this is of course not because of how important that look is, but because I really can't stick to this topic now.

Because it was difficult, I gave up.

If it were in the past, no matter which one of them used such a blunt trick to change the topic, they would definitely be ridiculed by the other party, making fun of the other party's guilt and cowardice.

But this time it's different.

This time they all felt guilty.

This time they were all cowardly.

And the most important thing is that this excuse is not entirely an excuse this time.

After all, the purpose of their trip was to be invited to watch Xiaoyangcai perform on stage. The finale was about to begin, but they were still struggling with the shy issue of who spoke first and what to say, leaving them alone. It was too much.

A little more.

So even though Hashimoto Nanami's hopes were brought from the top of the mountain to the bottom by Baiyunshan's words, she could only put her hands behind her back in front of her knees in disappointment, and then stared at the stage.

Her slender white fingers were white and red due to nervousness, but her eyes were still calm, but the hope that had filled her heart just now turned into a silent sigh because of the passing spring breeze.

On the stage, although the fourteen-year-old Kawago Hina is a little green, she is not as timid and immature as the average fourteen-year-old junior high school student. Her eyes are calm and joyful. It is obvious that her life in Nodan has changed her significantly.

In some places in life, facing such a scene on the stage, she would not be frightened for a moment, because as early as the past few months, she had already experienced scenes many times more grand than this.

But a little girl is a little girl. Like all the little girls in the world, Xiaoyangcai, who was on the stage, subconsciously glanced at where they were in Baiyun Mountain, only to find that the person she was looking forward to had still not arrived.

, only those two people waved their hands vigorously in response when they saw her glance over.

This was a gentle move. Both of them were very gentle people, but neither of them was the gentleness she wanted to see.

Xiao Harina felt a warmth in her heart, and she tried her best to show a smile, tearing the corners of her mouth that were frozen due to the gradual tension and disappointment, then took a deep breath and started her performance.

As a manager, Baiyunshan knows that Nogizaka prohibits members from privately accepting commercial performances without the permission of the operation team. This is a very serious violation in Nogizaka.

Needless to say, the various disadvantages caused by violating the rules are almost as terrible as several other important rules, so no member wants to try to violate them because the cost is too high.

Of course, the stage of the school festival is not a commercial performance, and performing on the stage of the school festival as a student is not even a commercial performance, but considering the strictness of this layer of rules and the mentality of not causing trouble to Baiyun-san

, Koharina thought about it again and again, and finally canceled the performance of the Nogizaka song that might cause controversy, and instead changed to an older song that would not cause controversy.

The song selection was based on Baiyunshan's opinions and a song from six years ago was selected, "Neighbor" by Matsukura Sauri in 2006.

This is a gentle and long song. The moment Xiao Haruna opened her mouth, countless pairs of eyes in the audience stared at it quietly.

Her singing level is not that high. As a young idol, she is just passable. But what is surprising is that when the song is paired with her somewhat jerky voice, it feels like summer plum wine with ice cubes in it. Such a chemical reaction makes people completely forget about the shortcomings in singing skills, and instead immerse themselves in the tenderness of the song itself.

"Who is the heart of my neighbor?"

(Everyone is looking for the neighbor in their heart)

"どこかに EXISTENCE してると信じてる"

(Believe it is somewhere)

"Who is far and near? How can I see you?"

(Going further and closer than anyone else but not being able to see that person at all)

"The secret of the secret is the secret of the secret"

(Can't find it in the dark)

...

The very meaning of being able to sing gentle songs is, of course, because I have a gentle person in my heart.

That person is just like this song, like a trickling stream, flowing calmly and gently, not deliberately, not attracting attention, always standing behind the spotlight to silently protect and comfort you, as long as you think of her Even the name can bring warmth from the bottom of my heart, which is its unique charm.

This is Hina-chan's performance.

Baiyunshan's thoughts were not limited to this. He thought about the reason why he recommended this song to girls, and then thought about the first time he heard this song six years ago, thought about the ceiling, thought about the tape player, and thought about I thought a lot, and I also thought of a cat.

His expression gradually became cold and complicated, like an overexposed rainbow photo. In the end, only black and white were left of the beautiful and gorgeous colors, which looked lonely and scary. But even after the gorgeous appearance was stripped away, the rainbow was still gentle. Because color itself does not have emotions, emotions exist in the person who gives it.

So this complexity showed his most primitive confusion.

...

After the boy gradually regained his strength, he climbed out of bed. The cat on the window sill was still snoring softly, staring at him warily, as if staring at a monster.

Being treated as a monster by a cat is definitely not a happy thing.

The young man laughed at himself, and then tapped his head. There were too many chaotic thoughts and memories in it, and he couldn't remember many things clearly, so he could only rely on the instinct of his body to act.

He stood on the window sill in the sunlight for dozens of seconds, then slowly moved his tired body and walked to the living room step by step.

The cat jumped down from the window sill vigorously and followed him at a distance, like a tiger in the wilderness entangled with its prey, cold and rational.

The fur all over its body could not be relieved, and it was still very aggressive, giving people the feeling of a ray of light on its back.

But the young man seemed not to feel it at all. He was the loneliest person in the world. He had no source and no where to go. The system that was briefly regarded as hope was fleeting, and everything had to start again.

This is what is most confusing.

He came to the living room based on his memory, but did not turn into the kitchen next to it. Although he was already hungry, and his whole body was covered with sweat from the pain just now, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his clothes, but he was stubborn. He came to a corner of the living room and stubbornly took something out of the cabinet.

The cat stubbornly followed him to the living room.

What he took off was a tape player.

The cat not far away saw this scene, and what came out of its mouth was no longer a purr, but a low growl, which seemed angry and a warning.

The boy smiled softly. His memory told him that the cat liked the music played by the tape player.

Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with that.

He lowered his head and looked at the tape player in his hand. This was the latest product. It could not only play tapes, but also modern things like compact discs and CDs. It was very convenient.

He turned his head again and thought for more than ten seconds, then took out the tape inside, opened a latest single from the cabinet on the side and stuffed it in.

The name of the single is "Neighbors".

The sound of the music flowed out slowly.

The cat and the human calmed down at the same time.

There was no roaring, no growling, no painful moans or harsh coughs.

He was as calm as he had been a few hours before the boy committed suicide.

...

A hand suddenly placed on Baiyunshan's gradually tightening palm.

The soft touch and gentle breath brought him back from his memories. He subconsciously glanced at the source of the delicate hands, only to see Hashimoto Nana staring intently at Hina-chan on the stage, as if nothing had happened.

He immediately turned his head and looked at the hand.

The slender white fingers were white and red due to nervousness, but they stubbornly covered his hand gently. The slight coldness at the fingertips and the warmth in the palm showed a great contrast. When he looked over Then he slowly pulled his hand back like a shy mimosa.

Baiyunshan smiled slightly.

There was warmth in his eyes.

The singing on the stage has reached the end, and it has penetrated everyone's hearts gently.

"Who is far and near? How can I see you?"

(Going further and closer than anyone else but not being able to see that person at all)

"The secret of the secret is the secret of the secret"

(Can't find it in the dark)

"Spider の巣を张 るようにwhen かほんのaccident で"

(Waiting like a spider spinning its web)

"この手に二人で组めるのをwaiっている"

(One day the two of them held this hand by chance)
