After that frightened "new discovery", Matsuda was stunned and didn't sleep well all night.

"—What's the situation? The one I just touched...... It won't be ......"

It was a strange touch that she had never touched before, and she had a terrible idea.

However, if you ask her to touch it again, she doesn't have the courage to do so. After all, it can still be regarded as her own illusion now, if she is hammered by herself, she doesn't know how to face the other party when the day dawns.

After thinking about it again, she still felt that maybe it was the illusion that she was too sleepy—otherwise it would be too ridiculous, wouldn't it? How can there be a new member of a girl idol group, who is ......

Thinking like this, Matsuda fell into a shallow sleep until it was dawn.

“…… Hey? Where have you been......"

As a result, not long after I fell asleep, I was woken up by the sound of rustling. When I opened my eyes with difficulty, it was Yoko Ozono who was gently flipping the futon, as if she was looking for something on the bed.

"Ah, did you wake you up?"

Seeing her open her eyes, Dayuan looked apologetic - it was early in the morning, and the girl seemed to have washed and dressed.

“…… Woo, no, I woke up naturally. ”

Seeing that the girl is so cute, Matsuda can still be angry. In addition, now staring at the girl's delicate face up close, she felt even more ridiculous about her thoughts last night.

"Yang-chan, what are you looking for? Did you drop something......? ”

"Hmm...... I'm looking for my little doll ......."

“…… Little dolls? ”

Matsuda Yoshika shouted frantically in her heart, "Good! Can! Love! On the surface, he said calmly.

"Well, a little alpaca, about this long."

Dayuan gestured with his slender fingers, and his voice was soft, as if he was a little unhappy because he lost the doll.

“…… It's my favorite doll, the one I've been carrying close to me, and I was still under the covers last night, but I can't find it now......"

"Huh? Alpaca......"

Matsuda also got up from the bed and helped rummage through it. Almost as soon as she got up, she spotted the little alpaca under her knee.

"Yike...... See! I'm sorry to be crushed under me......"

She reached out and picked up the little alpaca, and gave it back to the girl who was staring at the doll, feeling like she was kidnapping a child—she also remembered that the girl was only a year younger than herself, and in front of herself, Yang-chan seemed to have completely lost the domineering spirit of the selection, but looked shy and restrained.

Such a contrast is cute, which makes her even more unstoppable.

"Uh......h Thank you kono-chan ......"

The girl took the doll with red eyes and carefully slipped it in the pocket of her shorts.

"Huh......? It turned out to be ......"

This action made Matsuda Haohua blush all of a sudden-it turned out that what he touched last night was ...... So, what are you thinking about?

She shyly held her face and suddenly shrank back into the quilt.

"-I-I'll get some sleep again!"

……

……

Seeing Matsuda Yoshika shyly retract the quilt, Osono Yoshi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew...... Fortunately, I prepared a set of rhetoric in advance, but I didn't expect to use it so quickly. ”

Yesterday, I was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly I felt that the sensitive part was gently touched, which scared me into a spirit, and I immediately felt sleepy.

Fortunately, the other party either did not notice it unintentionally, or did not dare to confirm it again. Otherwise, give yourself a little more stimulation, and it's hard to say what will happen tonight......

So, for the sake of safety, she skillfully staged the "looking for alpacas" section that she had rehearsed before—now seeing the girl shyly getting into the quilt, it seems that it really dispelled her doubts.

But......

Da Yuan swallowed his saliva quietly, when the girl leaned out of the bed just now, his sleepy eyes, loose pajamas, and large patches of exposed fair skin all made his heart beat faster.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been in close contact with girls for many years, he would have been amazingly determined, and I am afraid that Matsuda Yoshika would have seen that there were two alpacas in his shorts......

"Alright, Kono-chan, don't sleep, I'm going to have my first meeting with my seniors this morning!"

Looking at the time, Dayuan suddenly remembered today's schedule, and hurriedly pushed Matsuda, who was obviously not sleeping, and rushed her up to wash up and put on makeup.

"Senior ......"

While urging, he repeated the word in his heart. Although, his sister is in a sense his predecessor of Sakamichi, and he has already met Hinode-san, the "big boss" of Sakazaka, last night, he still feels uncontrollably nervous.

Moreover, you can also meet the core character of Hiragana Akisaka.

"It will be...... What kind of people are ......?"

……

……

"- Hello seniors, I'm Nao Kosaka, you can call me Kosaka or Nao-chan......"

In a blink of an eye, all of them came to the practice room assigned to Hiragana Saka alone, and introduced themselves to the seniors sitting on the ground in a row - saying that they were self-introductions, but in fact, they were similar to the auditions, and they would also perform stunts or something.

While the others introduced themselves in turn, Osono was also quietly looking at the seniors.

"Ah......h Lovely! ”

"Wow, that's so cute!"

"-All of my predecessors have seen stunts...... Don't worry about playing! Take it easy! ”

“……”

It seems that the seniors are a very friendly group of people...... Thinking like this, Da Yuan Yang also relaxed a little - is it not possible, every senior is like a tie, and he touches his chest when he comes up, right?

- However, "that person" doesn't seem to be there today. Looking at it this way, it seems that I heard the rumor that my sister talked about......

"-Dayuan, it's your turn."

It was in his cranky thinking that Staff-san called his name.

"-Hey, hey! It's the big garden......"

"-yes! The most anticipated juniors are here! ”

"-The real person is really cuter than the screen......"

“……”

The seniors obviously watched the whole process of the final selection as they said. However, compared to the seniors who just now, they would communicate a few words with the juniors who spoke, and when she stood in front of her, she whispered below, and no one dared to make a loud noise.

- Mostly, it's because of my sister, right?

"Ahem......"

The atmosphere was slightly awkward, and she cleared her throat and bowed deeply

"Hello seniors, I'm Yoko Ozono, I'm 17 years old and I'm from Kagoshima...... My sister, who you may be more familiar with, is Nogizaka-san's Ozono Momoko......"

Compared with the deliberate avoidance during the selection, in the face of the "own people" who will get along with his predecessors day and night in the future, he chose to directly point out his identity.

"-so cute!"

"-Sure enough, it's as cute as my sister......"

As soon as she spoke, the atmosphere below was much more lively, and some began to praise loudly.

And then ...... Because of my sister, I'm also a fan of Sakamichi idols......"

"—Huh? So in Sakado, which member are you pushing! ”

As soon as his words fell, a senior raised his hand excitedly. Her voice was a little dragged, and she didn't sound very smart - however, for Osono Hiroshi, who had come prepared for Hiragana Sakasaka's various situations, he clearly knew that the senior who was being questioned now was a very reliable presence in the team.

“…… Eh, who is it? ”

He nodded his chin and pretended to be thinking.

"—Is it Nogizaka-san, or is it the kanji 欅saka-san? Generally speaking, the people who come to apply for Hiragana 欅saka are fans of kanji-san, right? ”

The senior who asked the question looked right, and narrowed it down to the other two teams - after all, not many people are fans of Hiragana Sakasaka, right?

It's just that the more her expression is reasonable, the more distressed Dayuan feels. A thought, madness in the bottom of his heart, drove him to say the next words.

"No, it's Hiragana's ...... of Hiragana-san."

"-Huh??"

The seniors below suddenly became excited and pointed at each other. But soon they all calmed down - deliberately speaking of Hiragana Saka, most of them are only that one, right......? What a bad-hearted junior, Mingming, that one is also the one who also serves as the Chinese character Sang, but he still has to ......

"—It's Kato-san."

She smiled at the senior who asked her questions, and even blinked quietly.

“…… Eh, eh? What's going on? So happy......"

His sudden straight confession made Kato Shifan, who was still asking with a wicked smile just now, suddenly confused, and even covered his face helplessly, as if his eyes were red.

At a glance, the seniors who were obviously not mentioned by name seemed to be genuinely happy for Kato, and they all comforted her with a gentle smile.

“…… Sorry...... Also、I thought it must be Neru-chan's ......"

Kato sobbed softly as he spoke intermittently—even if it was a polite remark, the junior's speech did warm him. She didn't even think that there were also juniors who joined for a member of Hiragana other than Neru.

chuckling in his heart, Osono Yang glanced at the staff who was standing on the side as if he had told him in advance, "I'm going to make trouble".

"—how so...... How can I name a person who doesn't attend a junior meeting? ”

"- Hey! Big Garden! ”

Sure enough, the staff on the side scolded loudly, but other little idols may be afraid, but he really won't be scared.

“…… You can't say that......"

In the ranks of the seniors, the most calm voice sounded. It was Kumi Sasaki who comforted Shiho Kato beside her while looking at her with a little seriousness.

"—I'll try to let her see it."

“…… Huh? ”

If his preface didn't match the afterword, Sasaki's seniors were stunned.

"I'll try to prove that we Hiragana Tsuzaka will grow into a great group and make Neru-chan proud of it! Seniors, please advise! ”

“……”

Kumi Sasaki watched the juniors on the stage bow freely and retreat from the stage, and her heart was shocked speechless.

"- a very powerful group, proud of it?"

For them, who are always on the verge of disbanding or merging, these are unthinkable words - not to mention, the recent operation has also passed with them, saying that Nagahama-san is about to be relieved of the part-time position, and their future is uncertain.

However, the batch of fresh blood recruited now, especially this big garden, is obviously just joining the group, and such a strong sense of belonging has indeed rekindled her hope - it's funny to say that she was quite resistant to the joining of juniors.

“…… It's really worth looking forward to. ”

She looked at the pride that had already fallen back in the queue of juniors, and smiled sweetly at Yoko Ozono, and suddenly had a terrifying feeling of being born in the future - obviously with such a cute face, there is such ambition?

In the next second, the two met their eyes.

Not at all afraid of the field, the girl smiled at her and nodded.
