"...I'm sorry, Xiaoshi...I'm sorry."

"Na-chan!"

Gao Shan followed Nishino's quickly leaving figure and chased him out.

She had a vague premonition before, but no one could tell for sure until the window paper was pierced.

Love between friends, love with respect, love with adoration, love between men and women, or love that contains the heart of admiration, love has so many meanings, how can she distinguish them one by one. Therefore, noticing in advance is just

It's just an empty talk.

However, Gao Shan still felt guilty.

She followed Nishino out the door and grabbed Nishino before she ran far.

But facing the sobbing Nishino, she didn't know what to say.

Comfort or cheer? Both options are inappropriate.

But, what else can she say and do?

Treat all of this as if it had never happened, and classify Nishino's behavior just now as a prank. This may be in line with Nishino's wishes...

No, Gao Shan has no idea what Nishino's intentions are.

One thing she was sure of was that Nishino was crying.

Nishino's arm trembled slightly in Gao Shan's hand. She lowered her head and said nothing. A strand of hair on her cheek was soaked with tears. Gao Shan pulled her arm slightly.

In the cold morning wind on the slope, Gao Shan held Nishino in his arms. Nishino's body was thin and soft, and only gained some thickness under the wrap of the coat. Gao Shan felt like he was holding a frightened deer.

"...Na-chan, is there anything I can do for you?"

——

"I don't know why it got quiet.

Special seats in the classroom

It's a world just for the two of us

Saying 'that' and 'me'

body that clings tightly

…”

As the title song of the debut single, "Curtain Around" carries too many memories of the members. The first song recording, the first v-shooting, and it is also the starting point of Nogizaka46's rise.

On the occasion of the first anniversary, I am able to perform this song as the opening act in such a large venue. I believe that I am a member and the fans in the audience will also be deeply touched.

A year ago, they were probably still sitting in the practice room, worried about the results on the first day of their debut single. Now they are standing on the stage facing the stream of cheers gathered under the stage, and they feel that their field of vision has been broadened. Together with

Nishino's melancholy mood was also brightened by the light of support.

"Around the Curtain" was followed by akb's cover song "Maybe I Want to See You". After the two songs ended, there was a brief conversation break. Then the UG members stayed on the stage, and the selected members had a song break. Say yes

During the break, I was actually in a hurry to change clothes and run up and down, so I could catch my breath.

Nishino and Wugeng are still different.

Wugeng is talented, but does not know how to control it. Emotions and moods are easily expressed in songs and dances. Without Ueno's reminder, he may not be aware of it. In other words, his performance will be unstable.

Although Nishino has a weak temperament, she is strong and tenacious in her heart. She performs steadily. No matter how big the fluctuations in her heart are, she always shows her usual smile on the stage. Although Ueno has never praised her for this advantage, there is no doubt that Nishino

I have a strong sense of professional consciousness.

Gao Shan, who was by her side, was deeply touched.

Although Nishino Nanase may be worried about how to get along with Wu Geng and is often restless during breaks, Takayama has never seen her make even one mistake on the stage. This makes Takayama admire her.

Before the entrance of the next song.

"Na-chan."

Takayama helped Nishino remove the colorful confetti on her skirt, which must have been rubbed on before coming here.

"Thank you, Xiaomi." Nishino thanked him quietly.

"fine."

Gao Shan glanced at Wu Geng, who was standing in front of the team.

"Na-chan, what I said before is still valid," she said. "If you want to talk to Xiaoxiao alone, I can help... Na-chan doesn't want to avoid Xiaoxiao all the time, right?"

Nishino pursed his lips, noncommittal.

"Some things would be better if we talked about them openly and honestly."

Gao Shan naturally knows that some things cannot be reached by consensus after communication. Both parties can obtain mutually satisfactory answers, but an opportunity is always needed. Failure to work hard to seek mutual understanding will only cause the matter to be shelved and remain unresolved forever.

status.

"...It's our turn." Nishino said.

The door of the passage opened to the left and right, and the UG members waved their hands and exited from both sides. The light of the stage shone on them as they were waiting to enter. At this time, "The Courage of the Left Breast" had just ended, and the prelude of "Riding the White Clouds" sounded immediately.

Gao Shan regained his composure, and together with Nishino, followed the team and stepped onto the stage.

——

The first anniversary live will perform Nogizaka46's four singles since their debut in the order of single release. After each song ends, a short documentary will be shown on the big screen, with narration by different people.

members proceed.

The actions of the previous songs performed were not too intense, and the selection was alternated with the UG members' songs, which also ensured the members' rest time to a certain extent, although it was short.

It was the first big live performance. The atmosphere in the audience was enthusiastic, which also affected the emotions of the members. They rotated in front of and behind the stage. Many members were sweating profusely, and some had no time to wipe off before going on stage.

The songs were played one after another, like a year of their debut being compressed.

Nishino tried hard to restrain his emotions. Although his movements were correct, he always thought of Wu Geng who had always been by his side. There was no way, the time they spent together was too overlapping. For Nishino, the time in Nogizaka was almost

It is equivalent to the time spent with Wu Geng.

"Actually, I want to stay with you for a while.

If the relationship gets better

Maybe you can fall in love...

Although the mind is clear

The body is out of control

Blood surges throughout the body

Get excited all of a sudden

Even if I endure it a hundred times

Just speak once

Maybe we can both be happy together."

"Impatient Snail" seemed to fully express her mood. Although she was still singing along with everyone as if nothing had happened, her heart had begun to waver.

"Stupid (stupid) snail (snail)

Now, what should we do?

If you are just worried

The two of them are just ordinary friends.”

This was the first time that she had such a high sense of immersion in a song. Despite the cheerful and exciting melody, Nishino could only capture the sadness of the snail's forced smile in the lyrics.

Just like herself, she gradually lost herself in the entanglement and hesitation.

"It's a tug of war in my heart whether it's to attack or to defend.

Everything is the spear and shield of love

I don’t know what to do either

"Depressed Snail"

When it was her turn, she sang, feeling her eyes sore. She smiled and shed tears as she finished singing her own paragraph.

When the song ended, the singers gathered together in front of the stage. Wu Geng held Nishino's hand and helped her wipe away her tears.

This was their first contact since that day. Neither of them spoke. Wugeng just looked at her with a smile in his eyes. With just one look, Nishino seemed to feel that the depression in his heart for the past few days had dissipated a lot.

Nishino lowered her head. She originally wanted to put her head on Wu Geng's chest, but because of her height, it hit Wu Geng's mouth.

Several people around me, including Hashimoto Shiraishi and others, covered their mouths and snickered. The camera captured this scene so well that it was shown in real time on the big screen.

The audience burst into laughter.

"It's over, I lost my tooth." Wu Geng covered his mouth and cried, joking with a sad face.

Nishino raised his hand angrily and slapped Wu Geng's shoulder. He didn't hold back for a moment and also laughed.
Chapter completed!
