The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

The shameless remarks left everyone speechless.

However, there is nothing Baiyunshan can do. If he really wants him to prepare a gift for each member, he will not even want this month's salary. Although eating dirt will not lead to it, he will definitely bleed.

And the most important thing is...it’s hard to choose a gift!

What to give, how to give it and when to give it will undoubtedly test all aspects of his understanding of the members. The key is not to just consider this, but also to consider the feelings of other members. If one is satisfied, there is no guarantee that the other one will be satisfied as well. This is also

If you don't have an opinion, there's no guarantee that the other person won't have an opinion either.

After all, if the gifts are very different and the partiality is too obvious, it’s hard to say what kind of sound will be made...

So after much deliberation, Baiyun Mountain could only reluctantly prepare an apple for everyone——

Of course, things didn't end like this.

In the evening, after the little idols left, Baiyun Mountain left an uncle from the mountain alone.

"What's the matter? Baiyun-sang."

Ikoma Rina raised her head and looked at someone, questioning.

Of course it's not uncommon to be left alone like this. As Baiyunshan's manager, he also serves as the operating committee. It's normal for him to discuss something alone with a certain member. He has talked to almost all members more or less in private.

A few words, so there is nothing surprising.

But for girls, this situation is rare.

I don’t know why, but as a Ter, as the face of Nogizaka today, I have a pretty good relationship with someone, but private one-on-one communication like this is rare. Not to mention a certain Hokkaido girl.

As for Sakurai Reika, who is now the captain, even a child like Asuka, or an ignorant fool like Maya, probably outnumbers her, which is really strange.

Of course, Baiyunshan also has his own difficulties. The girl in front of him is a rough diamond selected by a cheap senior. After the original terminator left for some reason, he immediately became the new terminator and released several singles in a row. This is all

All of this shows that for the girl in front of him, a certain cheap senior has silently planned the process and thoughts in his mind.

If I intervene casually and rashly, I don’t care whether the situation will get better or not, but it will definitely attract the attention of a cheap senior. If the change goes along the originally expected track, it will be fine, but if it deviates from it, this will not be the case.

It's like offending his boss for no reason. Of course Baiyunshan will not do such a thing——

Fortunately, it's different now.

Bai Yunshan thought to himself that now he was also sure and represented the meaning of a certain cheap senior, so naturally he no longer had to worry about anything, so he showed a faint smile on his face and said: "It's okay, I just want to chat with you for a few words."

,Hmm...how do you feel?"

"Feel?"

Ikoma Rina was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "It tastes pretty good, by the way... Baiyun-san, where did you buy this apple?"

"I'm not asking you this-"

Baiyunshan sighed helplessly, found a seat and sat down, and then motioned for the other party to sit down too, saying: "I'm asking you about this selection... I became a TE again this time. How does it feel?"

how?"

"ter..."

Rina Ikoma sat down and bit her nails after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, she waved her hands in a relaxed tone and said with a smile: "It feels okay... Baiyun-san, you are not specifically concerned about me, are you? Rather than

If you are concerned about this, you might as well care about the other members who failed to enter the selection this time! I have been a Ter for four times in a row, and now it is the fifth time, so I have already adapted to it, okay—"

"Oh? Really-"

Baiyunshan stared into her eyes with a half-smile.

"..."

The smile on Ikoma Rina's face gradually stiffened, and she gradually fell into silence.

Of course Baiyunshan knew why she was silent.

At the audition for the last single "Uniform Doll" a few months ago, a girl named Akimoto Manatsu suddenly appeared and became one of the lucky gods of this single, causing an uproar.

There were endless scoldings on the Internet, and all kinds of doubts came to her face, which made the girl almost breathless. Fortunately, the efforts since then were not in vain, and the relationship with the members was also good, and this is how things accumulated over time.

Afterwards, these pressures were gradually eliminated and adapted little by little, which also allowed the girl to take a breather.

However, if there is any one member among the members who has faced the same or even greater pressure and criticism than her, then this person is undoubtedly Rina Ikoma, a certain mountain uncle in front of her!

Since she was chosen as TER in her debut single, similar doubts have been accompanying her. The scolding wars on the Internet will not be gentle just because you are a little girl. All kinds of dirty words are pouring in like a mudslide, which makes

People almost feel suffocated. Plus being chosen

For the sake of her own uneasiness, nervousness, fear, and even worry about whether the members around her would have subtle changes in their attitude towards her because of this, all kinds of emotions were suppressed together, forming an unspeakable huge pressure.

.

It is always hard work for those who blaze the trail, and as the facade among the pioneers, the person who must be at the forefront among everyone will only have to work harder.

Although Baiyunshan couldn't exactly feel how much pressure and pain the girl in front of him had endured, from the other party's crazy dance practice and the initial confusion at which he could only cry, he gradually found his confidence, little by little.

The more and more eye-catching changes shown in variety shows can also understand how much effort the other party has put in.

Such efforts must be racking one's brains, gritting one's teeth, and exhausting one's strength to the point of physical and mental exhaustion. In the end, there will be Rina Ikoma sitting in front of him now.

And now, there is a new single, and she has been chosen as the new Ter, which means that this kind of pressure is likely to continue.

Let me ask...how can it really be easy?

"Feeling tired?"

Baiyunshan lowered his voice and spoke warmly.

"Um......"

How can I not be tired? The heavy responsibility of five consecutive orders, countless questions and ridicules, these things are always noisy even in dreams, and the person who bears all this is just a sixteen-year-old who is still in high school.

year old girl.

She has long been tired. Ikoma Rina is just an ordinary person. She can be timid, cowardly, hesitant, and of course there will be a day when she is exhausted.

But as early as she stepped on this stage and assumed the title of Ter, she had to learn to sweep away all these things. Those painful memories and the bitterness of dreaming back at midnight could only be forgotten.

I curled up in the quilt, covered my ears and let my cries escape, never to think about it again.

"Exhausted physically and mentally?"

Baiyunshan asked again.

"Maybe..."

Ikoma Rina stared at a corner outside the courtyard with calm eyes and answered silently.

Those pictures and fragments flashed through my mind, as if the scenes just happened yesterday, a touch of sourness surged up unconsciously, but the girl's eyes were much stronger than her original self, but there was still a trace of

Confused.

Suddenly, she spoke softly: "Baiyun Sang, do you think... what I did is pretty good?"

"What?"

Baiyunshan turned to look at her.

"Do you think...I have worked hard so far? Can my performance be called outstanding?"

Rina Ikoma stared into his eyes.

"Of course! If you can't even call it hard, what should I do?"

Baiyunshan nodded without any hesitation, then thought for a moment, couldn't help but chuckle, and said slowly: "And I think even the other members probably think so."

After Ikoma Rina stared at him for several seconds, she suddenly smiled and felt relieved. Then she stood up slightly, patted the wrinkles on her clothes, and sighed in a low voice: "Really, that's good -"

"Then I'll be...satisfied."

"Are you leaving?"

Seeing her standing up suddenly, Baiyunshan said in surprise.

Ikoma Rina nodded: "Yes, Baiyun-san, is there anything else?"

"Indeed... there is one more thing."

Bai Yunshan reached out and took out a piece of A4 paper from the folder next to him, with a large piece of text densely written on it. He handed it to her and said: "This is the title song of the fifth single. It has been completed.

Well, if you have time, you might as well take a look first——"

"Oh~ Is it the song called "Your Name is Hope"?"

Rina Ikoma suddenly realized.

"Yeah...ah, that's right! Speaking of which, this song has something to do with you -"

Baiyunshan suddenly said.

"I?"

Ikoma Rina pointed at herself in surprise.

"What's the specific relationship... Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. Just take it back and take a closer look."

Halfway through her words, Baiyunshan reacted and did not continue. Instead, she waved her hand to indicate that she could leave.

"oh......"

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Ikoma Rina had no intention of continuing to ask questions. Instead, she could inquire from Ichiku-chan. Anyway, with her personality of asking for answers, she might actually be able to know something——

But as he approached the door, he slowly pushed it open, and when he was about to go out, he heard another voice coming from behind him.

"Ikoma..."

"Um?"

Ikoma Rina looked back and saw that Bai Yunshan had also stood up at some point. After staring at her in silence for two seconds, she smiled and nodded gently, then spoke slowly.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Well, so are you, Baiyun-sang."

No, what I mean is that you can finally breathe a sigh of relief. You won’t have to work as hard as you do now for a long time——

Baiyunshan added silently in his heart.
