The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

The sky is getting dark and the lanterns are starting to light up.

The weather at the end of September has completely faded away from the heat. The sky gets dark a little earlier than during Mengxia. The weather is refreshing and comfortable, and the evening breeze is refreshing, neither cold nor hot.

The girls said goodbye to the hut and left each other. Most of them walked together, and only a few of them left alone in a hurry because something was urgent.

The dormitory near Nishi Kasai is not too far from the hut in Sumida District, but if you want to go there, you still need to walk for a while.

For the little idols, they have walked this road many times, and the comings and goings during daily breaks are already very familiar. However, when Nishino Nanase walked this road in the past, most of his companions were Takayama Ichi.

Mi or Saito Yuri and others, but that is not the case today.

The leaves on both sides of the road have begun to turn from dark green to slightly yellow. The girl next to her is also wearing a skirt of a similar color. The hem of the skirt sways gently as she walks, revealing a pair of fair and slender legs.

.The gap that is closed inadvertently looks very girlish, but it also makes people feel inexplicably a little cautious.

What Nishino Nanase was a little concerned about was that although the night breeze was refreshing, it would still feel slightly chilly after blowing for a long time. However, the girl didn't seem to care and went her own way, exposing the smooth shoulders on both sides of her arms.

, letting the night wind blow, swaying easily and comfortably.

"Manatsu, aren't you cold?"

After walking for a while, Nishino Nanase finally couldn't help it anymore and asked in a low voice.

Akimoto Manatsu was startled, then shook his head and said: "No~ The weather is not bad now, it's only the end of September, it's not too cold, and I haven't heard any news about cooling down recently -"

"Um...really..."

Seeing that her face was as calm as usual, Nishino Nanase didn't know what to say. He just pursed his lips and glanced at the strapless skirt with some concern. Well... In his impression, it seemed that Manatsu had

There are many skirts of this style——

"And it's not just because of the weather. I dress like this, but also to cultivate the idol feeling-" Akimoto Manatsu added unhurriedly, with a trace of pride flashing in his eyes.

"Idol feeling?"

Nishino Nanase looked at her curiously.

Akimoto Manatsu nodded and said: "Yes, even though I haven't officially returned yet, I have been with Na-chan for so long. Of course, I can't fall behind on what I need to learn as an active idol!"

"But, what does this have to do with clothes?" The girl was still puzzled.

"Of course it does matter!" Akimoto Manatsu spoke loudly and plausibly: "As an idol, you must participate in the handshake meeting, right? And for the handshake meeting, you must also learn how to talk to the fans, how to deal with them, and how to attract people.

Right? Didn’t you talk about pork chops and rice in a lewd voice? This was all to cultivate responses in this area——"

But... in the field of fishing, it seems that you don't have to wear strapless clothes, right? Nishino Nanase thought silently in his heart.

As expected, it's still your personal preference, Manatsu.

However, suddenly, Nishino Nanase had another flash of inspiration, and thought of an important thing, and said: "Wait a minute, Manatsu, these...idol-like charm, etc., was it Bai Yun-san who taught you?

"

Akimoto Manatsu was stunned and surprised: "Na-chan...how do you know?"

That's correct.

Nishino Nanase said silently in her heart that she still remembered Baiyunshan once said during a casual chat that if he was a costume designer, he must let the girl in front of him wear a strapless dress.

Asked him why, his answer was very simple, that is, if it is a strapless dress, the girl's neck, which is not long in the first place, will appear shorter, and the problem of a big head will be difficult to cover up. Kill two birds with one stone. Asked

The reason is that he can also lie to her that this is to show off at the handshake event, specially used to catch people, it is simply impeccable - l

It’s just that these things must not be known to Manatsu——

Nishino Nanase came back to his senses, glanced at the other party guiltily, and quickly changed the subject: "Ah... that's right! Speaking of which, Manatsu, this is the first time we have walked back from here together -"

"Yeah~"

Although the cute girl in front of her looked a little strange, after all, she was not facing a certain demon king of Baiyun Mountain, so Akimoto Manatsu still didn't have such a strong sense of vigilance in her heart. In addition, the girl had a reputation of not lying, so she also

Without thinking too much, he just followed what the other person said, his tone full of emotion.

"Besides, Nana, I just learned that the place where Manatsu lives, starting from the hut, is on the same road as the dormitory where everyone lives! I didn't notice it at all before -"

Nishino Nanase continued.

Akimoto Manatsu nodded, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "But it's reasonable, after all... I haven't officially returned yet, right? It's normal if I didn't pay attention."

But when she said this, a trace of loss inevitably flashed in the girl's eyes.

Nishino Nanase opened his mouth and then fell silent.

It is completely normal for the other party to feel disappointed. It has been almost six months since my return in April. For nearly half a year, I have only been practicing and training without actually being with the girls.

Opportunities to participate in activities. Under such circumstances, even if the girls are all kind and gentle people, there will not be any barriers, but the strangeness still exists——

The clothes just now can be regarded as one of the evidences, and the path home is one of them. Acceptance takes time, more precisely, it requires time to get along. And without time to get along, no matter how good the relationship is, as time goes by

Even if it is washed away, it will still gradually fade, let alone the current situation.

Looking back now, when we accidentally talked about selection-related topics in the cabin just now, the girl's expression actually showed a bit of loneliness.

Everyone present, whether it is the selection group or the under group, no matter what, now he is one of the members of Nogizaka46 who is really well known to the outside world and fans. He is a true idol. Maybe he will fall out.

Selection, but before falling out of the selection, you must be qualified to participate in the selection.

But today's Akimoto Manatsu has not even realized this most basic point.

What's even more frightening is that no one knows how long this situation will last. Like a lonely ghost with no destination, he wanders back and forth between idols until one day he finally encounters the glimmer of hope and is able to realize his dream.

Or maybe you finally can’t bear it any longer and want to quit amid disappointment, and it seems like it never happened again——

Looking at the girl's disappointed expression, Nishino Nanase comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay Manatsu, Nana, I believe you! Isn't the selection for the next order coming soon? I believe you won't go on like this anymore, and you will be able to officially

I will appear on stage and stand with everyone. And maybe, there will be a chance to enter the selection——"

"Thank you, Na-chan——"

Akimoto Manatsu forced a smile on his face to express his gratitude. After hearing the second half of the other party's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "However, even if you can really make your debut, it is still too far away from the selection...

——”

As she said that, the girl couldn't help but shook her head and added: "Let's start from under. Compared to selection, I still hope to start from under. Although I have only returned now, I believe that as long as I work hard, I can definitely make those who are not yet

Fans who know me will recognize me step by step!"

"It's best if you think so——"

Nishino Nanase squinted his eyes and smiled sweetly, feeling happy for the girl's cheering up, but suddenly thought of another agreement in his heart, and silently added a sentence.

But Nana and I can definitely not just be a mere selection!
