Early in the morning, the members gathered in front of the theater. The first thing he did was, of course, to ask about the ticket sales. This time, Xiu went to ask about it personally. He calmed his heart and mentally prepared himself. He took a deep breath and walked in. After a while, Shuu walked out with a heavy expression.
"Masaka..." Xiao Nan walked forward uneasily and held Shuu's hand. The others walked up and surrounded Shuu, quietly listening to the results. Shuu took a deep breath and suddenly raised his head with a smile."More than 10!!”"Red bean paste! Yosh!" Mi-chan's eyes widened when she heard that. She then hugged Shuu and kept rubbing against him."That's great…It's more than last time." Sister Bu also said with a gratified expression,"Ah Chan ~""Tomo~" The two naughty children called each other's names and hugged each other happily. "Everyone, work hard and train well!”Xiu happily hugged Xiao Nan and said,"Oh!!!”Everyone's energetic answer
When everyone returned to the training room, Osamu was called to the training room by Fat Autumn. "What is it?" Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked,"The arrangement of your first song is done. Take it." Fat Autumn handed the CD to Xiu."Aren't you going to release it?"”Osamu laughed after hearing that."I'll have my own time." He looked at the CD in his hand. The name on it was "World of Ice and Snow"(the song Osamu sang to Fat Autumn for the first time). "This song of yours is already in today's Christmas performance. You have to work hard, okay?" Fat Autumn smiled."I knew it…" Shuu rolled his eyes and left the meeting room.
He returned to the training room and tried to hide the disc in his hand. However, she still couldn't hide from Mi-chan's beast-like gaze. She snatched the disc away from Xiu's hands at lightning speed. "Aler?" Shuu stood rooted to the ground with a dumbfounded expression. He looked at his empty hands and realized what had happened.!!∑(Дノ)ノ!! Mi-chan, give it back to me!" " Sigh…I'm just taking a look." After saying that, he opened the CD." Hmm…Ice and Snow World…Sigh!"! Mina, come and see! It's Xiu's song!" Everyone immediately gathered around." Hey, it's true!" The Empress took the CD and looked at it. Then, she looked at the petrified Shuu and smiled." I want to hear it!"!!”Then, Ah-Chan took the CD and asked the staff to play it. After a while, a beautiful melody sounded, and a pleasant young voice appeared. The members were all intoxicated by the song. " Ah, it's so nice!" Tomo swayed along with the melody, and everyone followed suit. The song was very short and ended after a while. After it ended, the members clapped and cheered,"Xiu Chan is so awesome!"”" Her voice is so nice!!" Xiao Nan sat next to Xiu and smiled." This song is the one from school, right?”" Mm." Xiu nodded." This song will be performed today." Sister Bu smiled and patted Xiu's head." Good luck!"!”"Yes!"
After the training ended, everyone changed into their costumes and was on their way to the theater when Xiu received a call. She took out her phone and looked at it. She didn't recognize it. Should she pick it up? After thinking about it, it was possible that it was a staff member calling. He picked up the phone and heard a familiar voice.
"Mo Xi, Mo Xi ~ Xiu Sang?"
"Ah, it's me? You are…" Xiu listened to this sweet and unfamiliar voice.
" Ah, I'm so sad. We just met last night." The other party's dissatisfied tone was heard.
"Ah…Sakuya?" Shuu frowned and thought," How did you get my number?”
" Your mother gave it to me." The other party seemed to be smiling.
"..." Xiu was silent for a moment." The public performance is about to begin."
"I understand. I will go. There might be a lot of people at that time. I'm looking forward to the song you created yourself ~"
Listening to this slightly black-bellied tone, Xiu wanted to hit someone.”
"Your mother told me. That's all. I'm hanging up."
The other party hung up the phone.
"Damn it! You!" Shuu angrily took out a tissue from his bag.!”He threw the tissue on the ground." Are you selling your daughter?!”She stomped on her mother a few times.! Then he picked up the paper towels on the ground and threw them into the trash can before leaving.
As promised, Sakuya Kurofuji brought her teammate, Sakurada Yang, and eight other classmates who had played with her to the AKB theater ticket office. They managed to buy the best tickets at a speed that would make countless fans envious and jealous of them in the future. "Ah, is this the place?" A short-haired girl asked Sakuya," Okay, I'll make a call first. Yang, you guys stay here and wait." She then left the place and went outside to make a call." The number you've dialed is switched off…" " Sigh…Remnant thoughts…" She sighed and returned to the theater. Yang and his classmates walked into the cafe next door. After all, it wasn't time for the concert yet. Who would be so stupid as to wait? While the group was drinking coffee, eating desserts, and chatting happily, the backstage of AKB48 was different. The atmosphere was extremely depressing. The children from the New Year's Eve group had gone out for a walk and came back with a long face. They said that it was very quiet outside the theater and that there seemed to be no one there. These few words made the members who were originally in a good mood suddenly fall to the bottom.
Shuwa and a few other members of the New Year's team went out to take a look at the situation when it was time to enter the venue. Although the theater that could accommodate 250 people wasn't very spacious, it was unusually spacious at this time. The BGM of Christmas celebration echoed in the theater that was not very crowded. The atmosphere that should have been happy was so sad. Just like that, the children quietly leaned against each other in the corner and cried silently. When Mai Oshima and Shuu came to gather with them, they wiped the tears off their faces with their sleeves and went backstage. After listening to the report of the end of the year group, the members were not having a good time. It was supposed to be a warm and happy day, but now…even the crew couldn't help but cry. Shuu looked at the time. The show was about to begin. Unable to hold on any longer, he asked the staff to call Fatty Autumn over to cheer everyone on.
When Fei Qiu heard this, she rushed backstage and saw the members crying together. She didn't feel good. He knew that the current problem was very cruel to them, who were still children. In order to be able to roam the martial world, they had to face such a test. This was also the only way to open up a beautiful future. Fat Autumn glanced at Xiu, who nodded. Fei Qiu asked,"Why are you crying?" There's no time for you to cry now!! Wipe your tears and perform on stage! Even if there's only one audience, you have to finish the performance with a smile!! The audience is paying to see your energetic performance! I'm not here to watch you cry and perform on stage with a bitter face!! If he couldn't even leave a good impression on one audience member, how could he leave a good impression on more audience members in the future?!”Although what Fat Autumn said was a little overboard to the members, there was a hidden comfort and love in his words. Shuu looked at the members who had stopped crying and continued," It's Christmas today, so it's normal for there to be fewer people. Some of them might be accompanying their families, and some of them can't go back because of work. To come and watch our performance during the reunion festival, should we complete the performance with gratitude?”Shuu smiled and patted Ah-chan's head." Mmm…" The New Year's team nodded." Mmm, wipe your tears and touch up your makeup. Let's work hard together to leave a beautiful Christmas memory!"!”
The members broke into laughter after hearing this and nodded to form a circle. Fei Qiu, who was at the side, nodded his head with emotion. He was clearly such a young child, but he knew so much. He said some words that children of his age couldn't say. Look, the members who were crying earlier had a determined expression on their faces.
As soon as the opening time arrived, Sakuya and the others entered the theater, found their seats, and sat down. "Wow ~ there are so few people!" Sunny stood up and looked around. He couldn't help but feel strange when he saw the sparse crowd."That's very normal. Those who haven't officially debuted or have just been established are all like this." Sakuya played with her phone and said,"Oh right, Captain, how many people do you think their team has?"”The classmate beside him asked,"Huh?" Sakuya raised her head and thought to herself,"I checked the information and found that there are about 20 players." She frowned and tried to recall."Do you think the total number of players here isn't as small as their team?"”Yang smiled and asked,"Yes, it should be more than that. We have 10 people here.”Sakuya turned off her phone and stood up to look at the people around her. After counting, it was not bad. No matter how he looked at it, he had brought more people with him. Sakuya thought that Shuu's voice was quite pleasant to hear, and was just considering whether she should poach Shuu over when a voice came from behind the curtain,"With a grateful heart! Calm down! Cautious! Correct! "AKB~" With a vigorous voice, he said,"48!!”The scene instantly quieted down, and Sakuya and the others began to show interest. Sakuya smiled as she looked at the stage. (P.S. Author, let me tell you, AKB Theater has special circumstances on special days. You can interact with the audience.)
Along with the brisk melody of "Party Gaimaru," Sakuya and her teammates were gradually attracted by their performance on stage. She worked hard to dance, to greet the audience that wasn't very large, to sing, and her innocent smile deeply moved Sakuya. On the stage, Shuu noticed Sakuya and the others, as well as some familiar people, such as the "little brother" from the café, the seven audience members from the first public performance, his own mother, the two female students (who were the ones who gave the cake), and the little brother who accepted Shuu's first flyer. He was constantly cheering for himself in his heart. He definitely could not leave a bad impression!!
In the MC segment, it was revealed to the audience for the first time that the lyrics and composer of three of the 12 songs in the public performance were all Watanabe. The moment this piece of news was revealed, it immediately aroused the curiosity of the audience. After all, it was the first time for some of the audience members to come here, so they were full of anticipation for the songs created by the later members.
Shuu glanced at Sakuya, who was standing below the stage, and noticed that she was staring at him. He smiled back and mouthed a " thank you ". Sakuya smiled and nodded.
When the melody of the song " no Flower Tai Rachi " began to play, all the audience members, including Sakuya and the others, began to follow the gestures of the members on stage. Some of the members were moved to tears, such as Xiao Nan, who cried easily. Fortunately, the mic was turned on halfway…The performance was nearing its end. At this time, Xiao Nan walked up from backstage to the stage." Please listen to the last song. It's an original single from member Osamu Watanabe," Frozen World."! Happy Christmas!" With that, he jogged off the stage. A beautiful melody started playing. Shuu slowly walked up to the stage with a microphone in his hand. He smiled and greeted everyone, his fingers tapping the microphone along with the melody.
Sakuya's expression turned into a smile as she took out her phone and started recording.
It had to be said that Xiu's song was really outstanding. The audience was listening quietly, reaching out their hands to shake along with the melody. After it ended, he clapped his hands and cheered as if he had just woken up from a dream. Sakuya stopped recording, turned off her phone, and clapped her hands.
Just like that, the public performance ended smoothly, and Xiu's original single ended with continuous praise. The members who returned backstage were naturally crying and laughing. Just as the group was discussing how to celebrate the upcoming New Year, the staff informed the members to go to the theater.
The dumbfounded members returned to the theater one after another and found that there were three big flower baskets, a feast, and a big cake on the stage. The members were all shocked. At this time, the staff walked over and handed Osamu a letter, saying that it was from a lady. Shuu took the letter and opened it to read the contents. After watching your performance, it was very good. There is a lot of room for improvement. I look forward to your growth. So, I'll treat this feast as a gift from my neighbor. Please take care of me in the future--Sakuya Kurorattan. Shuu forced a smile as he crumpled the paper into a ball and put it in his pocket. As expected, tycoons were inhumane!
Osamu looked at the signatures on the flower baskets. One was from the cafe's " little brother ", one was from Sakuya's personal name, and one was from Sakuya's team. Shuu looked at the entrance of the theater and saw Sakuya smiling at him. She waved her hand and left. Shuu smiled helplessly. Why did he end up with such a neighbor?
"Xiu-chan! Come over and have a feast! Otherwise, Ah-chan would have finished it all!”Xiao Nan and Tomo were pulling the rampaging Ah Jiang, while Mi Jiang was protecting the food. "Oh! Wait a minute!" Shu-chan immediately rushed into the crowd. Everyone was happily drinking fruit juice and eating a big meal, talking and laughing. This atmosphere was what Xiu really wanted. It was warm and joyous. Everyone took a group photo together, and Xiu took two with the first and second year groups. This was the first and also the last time they had such a complete group photo of the first generation members on Christmas.
