The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

"...The next number 15 is——Nishino Nanase."

The announcement was made in an extremely clear voice, as clear as a thunder exploding in the girl's ears. It shocked her and made her confused. She was stunned for a while and did not react. Until Sayori Matsumura, who was sitting next to her, gave her a kind push.

Then he stood up in a daze and walked stiffly to the front.

The voice of Banana Man seemed to be heard in her ears, and the staff were whispering not far away, but the girl couldn't hear it clearly. She just managed to squeeze out a smile that showed that she had been selected, and her heart was already full of joy.

disappointment.

'Did it fail... Sure enough, it still failed...'

'I couldn't enter the God of Fortune, and I still couldn't enter the God of Fortune even though I had an extra position. Sure enough, I... it's still useless at all——'

'Obviously I have already completed the last one, and I have obviously been working hard during this period whether it is recording a program or performing a performance with 16 people. I finally have the opportunity to express my inner invitation, but it is still wasted.

Got such an opportunity——'

'You are so useless, Nishino Nanase!'

Negative and repressed thoughts kept swirling in her mind, as if they had turned into substantive voices, screaming harshly in her ears, and each sentence deeply hurt her soul.

Nishino Nanase's lips were trembling slightly. Under the disappointed and sad mood, her eyes soon filled with tears. But she seemed to think of something again and bit her lips hard to hold back the tears.

'No, you can't cry!'

'Crying will only make Baiyun Sang more disappointed. Crying means admitting that you can't do it. Crying means thinking that there is no hope.'

'You must not cry!'

Relying on the progress she had made under the pressure of performing with sixteen people these days, the girl miraculously held back her tears, and for the first time she did not shed tears during the selection.

Although the expressions and words when answering were a bit dull and brief, at least the process was carried out, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

It's easy to see from the expression on her face when she stood still that disappointment still occupied the girl's slender heart. She looked worried and depressed, unable to listen to any words, so she was paying attention to her silently at this time.

A trace of worry inevitably flashed in the eyes of several people.

'Na-chan...are you okay?'

Akimoto Manatsu stared at her nervously for a while. Seeing that she seemed to have finally stabilized her mood, she relaxed slightly, but her eyes still glanced there from time to time, a little worried about the girl's condition.

The conversation that happened on the way out of the hut a few days ago still seemed to be echoing in his ears. The girl's words of concern for her made Akimoto Manatsu quite happy. At this time, he saw that the person who cared about him at the time was now disappointed because of the selection issue.

Sad, I have to feel particularly complicated.

'Na-chan must be very sad after she fell from the God of Fortune to the selection, right? Well, let's go together to comfort her after it's over. I hope she won't be too sad. Going to have a barbecue should be enough -'

Akimoto Manatsu thought silently in his heart.

But no matter how complicated my mood was, the selection process continued without any hindrance.

The next selection was tepid. Reina Ichirai, who had been relatively stable in performance, and Sayuri Inoue, who was old and unlucky, stood in the selection position as always, while Mai Fukawa and Yumi Wakazuki were favored by Baiyunshan.

Since the last one entered the selection process, this one has stabilized and occupied a place in the selection process.

The girls all seemed a little excited. Except for Yumi Wakazuki, who had a serious and steady personality, the other three girls couldn't help crying. Obviously, they were no better than Nanase Nishino and Kazumi Takayama.

After all, one of these two people is a god of good fortune at the beginning. He is smart and has high emotional intelligence. He has already known that based on his performance, it is unlikely that he will lose the selection. The other goal has not been placed on the selection earlier, but on

As he took the position of the God of Fortune, his thoughts had already drifted to nowhere due to disappointment.

And after the steady and calm Yumi Wakazuki established her position, the next person to enter the selection was surprisingly another candidate that the person involved did not expect——

Saito Asuka.

Xiao Feiniao, who finally re-entered the selection after two orders, was obviously very surprised. During the chat in the cabin a few days ago, she had already acquiesced that she would have to accompany her for this order again, and she had long given up on being able to enter the selection.

At this moment, I suddenly heard my own name. I was unexpectedly happy and aggrieved. As expected, I also sobbed excitedly like the two girls in front of me, and finally stood in my own No. 10 position.

Seeing this scene, Baiyunshan silently breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this time Xiao Feiniao entered the selection list as he expected from the system. Otherwise, if he had cried again this time because he did not enter the selection, he would have cried again.

I had to rush over to comfort him.

And the disappointment caused by losing three consecutive singles... Forget it, let her favorite Nanamin comfort her, she can't stand it——

Baiyunshan shook his head secretly.

The selection process continued without incident.

When the last selection place was determined to be Nojo Ai, the three people in the front row were ushered in, and the rankings were the same as the previous ones. The combination of the stars continued steadily, and the girls had matured and calmed down a lot.

Rina Ikoma once again stood in her position.

Continuing on, it is the final round, which is the five positions of the second beatified god.

Standing next to Baiyun Mountain, Akimoto Manatsu silently counted the number of people with her fingers. She had been with the team for a few months now. Naturally, she was not a newbie who knew nothing about it. She still had some knowledge about selection.

You must understand.

In addition, she was also present during the last selection, and she already knew which people were more likely to stay, and it was easy to count them at this time.

'First of all, Nanamin, Maihan, and Sayuri. It is definitely impossible for the three of them to fall out of the selection, and they have not appeared until now. Among these five positions, there are definitely three of them——'

Akimoto Manatsu thought silently in his heart.

'So there are only two positions left. Reika is the captain, so it is impossible to fall out of the selection. She must be one of the remaining two positions. In other words, there is only one position left that has not been determined.

'

The girl held her chin with one hand and stared at the screen in front of her with wide eyes. Her eyes swept over the girls in the seats. While recalling what she saw during the last selection, she analyzed it carefully, as if she wanted to confirm which one

More likely.

After thinking about it, in the end I could only reluctantly feel that someone like Nakata Hana was more likely to be the one, but I couldn't confirm which one it was.

This is normal. The last order was on the selection list, but there are not a few girls whose names are still not read in this order. The fluctuation range is too big, so I want to think like this with just a few glances.

It is really difficult to confirm it.

After all... no one can guarantee whether the management will let a member who has never been selected before suddenly stand in the position of God of Fortune, right?

However, the girl who was bored and doing these actions to relieve her tension failed to notice that after the spots were gradually confirmed, Baiyunshan, who was originally standing next to her, moved away silently.

He stopped his steps and came to the side, leaving an open space next to the girl.

At the same time, the last lucky god is about to be announced.

'Sure enough... If I have to say it, I feel that Hana is the most likely. After all, the previous few orders have been stable in selection, and the second order even entered the first row. No matter how you look at it, she will be included this time.

Location -'

Akimoto Manatsu nodded slightly, pursed his lips, and gradually confirmed his judgment in his heart.

But at this moment, the sound of announcement finally sounded.

"No. 8 is——"

The air suddenly became quiet.

"——Akimoto Manatsu!"
