The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

Chapter 5: Controversy and Soba

"That's what I say, but since all the arrangements have been finalized, what's the point of talking about it anymore?"

Soon after, the two returned to the hut. Baiyunshan sat down cross-legged against the low table, his face calm, but his eyes slightly cold.

"Ask me to talk to Mr. Akimoto, but I won't be able to talk about anything. It's just a waste of time. In addition, my relationship with Akimoto-san is pretty good, so how can I go to him to give him advice at this time? This is not in public.

Are you going to slap his old man in the face? After all, in fact, there is no other way but to give up on this path. An old fox is an old fox. Although the meaning is all roundabout, it makes you unable to find fault——"

As he said that, Bai Yunshan couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, and continued with deep eyes: "And the so-called sixteen-person performance is decided by the votes of the audience and fans in the audience. The operation team has no involvement at all. It seems to be a very fair decision."

System, in fact, this will only cause greater harm to those under members."

"In the past, the operation team decided on the selection list. In addition to shaking hands with popularity, it would also take into account various factors. But if the fans are directly allowed to vote in the audience, then the selection team will have more exposed selection members. Compared with under

Under members with far fewer resources will undoubtedly have greater advantages."

"After all, exposure also determines popularity in some ways. Compared with someone you have never met a few times, compared with someone you have been paying attention to, who would you vote for? The answer is already obvious. Rather than

It’s a fair vote rather than a popularity contest. This sixteen-person performance is just a tool used by these people to investigate and measure the popularity comparison of everyone. It’s just a high-sounding statement.”

"As for acting, dancing, and singing ability? These are just a means of accumulating popularity. In the final analysis, it is still a competition for popularity. Even if you work hard to hone your stage skills, how high can you get in a short time? As long as you can't do it.

If you have a professional level that makes people unable to take their eyes away and recognizes it from the bottom of their hearts, then the fans in the audience will most likely vote for you. Where does this leave those who will practice hard in the future?"

"You may not get corresponding rewards for your efforts. This is actually more unfair than the usual selection, and there will be greater pressure accordingly. This is one of the main reasons why I insist on opposing it."

After complaining a lot, Baiyunshan silently poured a cup of tea, held the cup to his lips, took a sip to moisten his throat, and Nana Hashimoto, who was sitting across the low table not far away, suddenly said: "

But it’s true, there is still a good side, right?”

Baiyunshan was slightly surprised and raised his eyes to look at her.

The girl continued with a calm expression: "Regardless of the success and failure, starting such a project urgently is stressful, but everyone can definitely learn a lot under such pressure, right?"

"After all, although it is ultimately a competition of popularity, no one knows what will happen until the results come out. Everyone may succeed, and everyone may be screened out. Hard work is always indispensable."

Baiyunshan frowned slightly and said: "That's right, but the physical and mental pressure you will face when the time comes is definitely not as simple as just talking about it. Such suffering and training will be rewarded with something.

It may be a completely meaningless result, isn’t this too unfair to you?”

"There is no absolute fairness in the world."

Nana Hashimoto said with determination: "I only know that after working hard, there will be rewards. These rewards may not be visible at the moment, but there will be opportunities to tap the benefits in the future. If everything is certain,

If you bite the bullet and work hard after the results are definitely good, it will already be too late."

"Even if everyone is trying their best to squeeze themselves, and even if they are injured, they still have to grit their teeth and persevere. In the end, they just get an answer that was destined to be hopeless from the beginning?"

Baiyunshan put down the tea cup in his hand, pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and said slowly.

"Isn't this what idols are like? Selling dreams and giving people the motivation to move forward. If the idols themselves can't grit their teeth and persevere, then how can they give others the motivation to move forward——"

The girl still insisted on her opinion and her tone was firm.

"This is an experience where the pay and reward may not be equal, yes, but it is also a valuable tempering. Even if the reality may not be the case, for everyone standing on the stage, at least on the surface they are still on the same page.

If you are at the starting line, you will have the motivation to work hard and persevere, and you will always get some rewards." PC: https://.@x81zw@@./

"For me, I don't want to worry about those plans and considerations, nor will I waste time thinking about whether it makes sense or not. I just know that the path I am taking requires hard work, even though the process may be stressful.

It’s uneasy and very painful, but the hard work itself is a reward, and that’s enough.”

Baiyunshan frowned even more tightly, and said in a deep voice: "You should try your best to get up in the morning first - and you don't know how rigorous the process will be if this plan is really implemented! I can be sure of it.

Let me tell you, it’s not just as simple as feeling tired, there are many examples of crying and collapse due to pressure. I don’t want to see you all crying in the background under such a high-pressure atmosphere, without even knowing how to comfort you.

How to comfort—"

"Crying is just a way to release emotional stress. It is normal to cry if you are too emotionally involved in a stage play. I am not sure whether I will be nervous then, but I am sure that no matter how nervous I am, no matter how nervous I am

Even if I am uneasy, I will not regret choosing this path. Because the results are important, but the process is also important."

Hearing the word "get up" mentioned by the other party, Hashimoto Nanami couldn't help but feel a flash of embarrassment in her eyes, but the girl still showed no weakness and stared at him closely.

"And how can you be sure that we won't be able to persevere and will break down and cry because of the pressure halfway through? Everything has not started yet, and no one can tell how the process will be, right?"

"I--"

Baiyunshan opened his mouth, but then he had no choice but to close it. Indeed, he did not have strict logic and basis to say such an answer with certainty. He couldn't tell her that he knew it from the system's data, right? I'm afraid.

Wouldn’t it be treated directly as a psychopath——

The two people with similar personalities and the same stubbornness each held their own opinions. No one could convince the other, and the air gradually became silent.

Time has gone beyond evening, night has fallen, and it has officially arrived at night.

The lights in the hut are bright, and the lampshade always attracts some flying insects from the outside world to wander around in summer nights, and the afterimages are swaying in circles, which makes people upset.

The atmosphere seemed a bit solidified. This was the first dispute between Bai Yunshan and the girl since they met - not counting the first time they met, because the former did not fight back - but the results were evenly matched.

At this point, there was no need to continue talking, so after a while, Hashimoto Nana stood up silently, straightened the wrinkles in her clothes, and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going?"

Baiyunshan suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Go back to the dormitory."

The girl stopped, turned around and looked back at him, her eyes slightly lowered.

"What are you doing back in the dormitory?"

"Have a rest."

"The weather outside changes at any time. Don't you worry about rain? Did you bring an umbrella?"

"No."

"Then take an umbrella before leaving."

"Okay, I can still use it when I go out to eat at night."

"You haven't had dinner yet?"

"Yeah, let's eat after we get back. It's still early anyway and I'm not that hungry yet."

"It would be bad to wait until you are really hungry to eat. It will have an impact on the health of your stomach. This is how stomach problems come about."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Of course, and you are still an idol after all. Your diet and rest routine are less regular than ordinary people. When you are busy, you really don't even have time to eat and sleep. So you have to pay more attention to the management of this aspect. I can

I don’t want to see you suffer from a bunch of injuries in addition to your original back injury, allergies, and shortness of breath, so sooner or later something will happen.”

"Don't worry, if I really can't hold on any longer, I'll ask for leave to rest."

"That's good. But luckily it's you. If it were that little guy Asuka who was in front of me now, he would definitely complain about my verbosity again."

"Is that so? Why don't I feel this way when I talk to her-"

"You are her favorite Nanamin after all, aren't you? This little guy is still capable of picking on people and playing tricks on others. He is so weird -"

"Okay, I'll ask her to pay more attention to it in the future."

"Then I'd like to thank you in advance."

"You're welcome."

What he said was very simple and everyday, his tone was flat, no different from every ordinary day in the past, but it made people feel nostalgic.

The hut shrouded in darkness is like a lighthouse in the deep sea. The bright light is soothing, as if staying here makes people feel at peace.

Baiyunshan nodded, then waved his hand to her to say goodbye.

"See you tomorrow."

"Well, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

With a click, the wooden door was gently pushed open. Hashimoto Nana paused and then walked out of the corridor.

Suddenly there was another voice behind him.

"etc......"

The girl turned back slightly and looked at him with calm eyes: "What's wrong?"

Bai Yunshan pursed his lips and tapped his index finger unconsciously on the smooth surface of the low table. The cool tea on the side did not emit the slightest heat. It only rippled slightly under the tapping of his fingertips. It seemed not too bad.

calm.

He was silent for a moment and said: "I just prepared some buckwheat noodles here. Do you want to go back after eating?"

Hashimoto Nana stared at his hesitant expression, seemingly unable to react for a moment, and then her clenched hands behind her back suddenly relaxed, with a faint smile on her face.

"OK."
