Chapter 141: Sakurajima Apricot Crushes Everything

Cliffhanger vote difference.

This doesn’t even need to be compared anymore, the superiority is no longer in doubt.

Aoi Natsuki looked at the recent photos of the school in the pictures, and Sakurajima Apricot’s picture was also the one that accounted for the most votes, while the number of votes started from the fourth place to break the cliff once again, and the fifth place was left with only 498 votes, and it continued all the way up to the fifteenth place, which was only Liao Liao’s 213 votes.

Sakurajima crushed the fifteenth-place finisher almost eight times outright.

And with this poll being in a school forum, the news has only just festered, and there may be another wild goose chase to follow.

He looked at the time, it was now 8:20, this Facebook was posted an hour ago, he turned to open the school forum again, and sure enough, he saw on the top post in red letters, “School Flower Selection Contest, Popularity Ranking Top 30 List Announced”, clicked on the post and slid down to the last page, the list was updated every half an hour, and it was only just two minutes since the last update, so the relative data was more accurate.

Aoi zoomed in on the picture, his eyes locked directly on the first place.

Apricot Sakurajima, 2076 votes.

In just one hour, it went crazy again with more than four hundred votes!

Is it because of the night?

Many of the users who replied on the top of the post came from various channels, and the number of replies showed that it was 1,000+, and the campaign really caught fire on the internet.

Natsuki Arai marveled at Sakurajima’s accomplishments while her gaze shifted downward.

Hmm?

Suddenly he saw a strange situation.

In second place, Erika Yamauchi from the Liturgy Department, the number of votes came to 1,451.

While still gaping Sakurajima by quite a bit, she has risen more than Sakurajima in this hour.

Natsuki Arai’s subconscious thumb continued to slide down the screen to look back at the previous posts, and something different could be seen in the relatively close to 0-1 minute response time.

“What? What’s going on? Last update, the second place was just over 1,000 votes, but this time it’s over 1,400? A swipe?”

“1,049 votes became 1,451 votes, got it, swiped the whole 400 votes, the actual half hour only went up by 2 votes (laughs).”

Aoi Natsuki only saw those two entries, no one mentioned this further up, and as soon as he refreshed the interface again, he then realized that even those two replies were gone.

This ……

He continued to scroll up and saw the popularity poll from half an hour ago before the three hundred replies, and indeed, at that time, the second place was still just 1,049 votes, and the sudden surge of votes did give a sign of vote-swiping.

A school form competition and swiping votes, they’re kinda boring.

Natsuki Aoi shook her head with a helpless smile.

Suddenly, he thought of what Yusuke had said in the school during the day, that there would also be some people from the entertainment industry involved as judges in this school flower selection contest, and when he thought about it in conjunction with that point, he was suddenly enlightened.

No wonder, Aoi Natsuki guessed that this second place is very likely either she wants to fight out of the color, or has long been seen by a certain showbiz person, this competition is just to give her momentum, seeking the heat of the attention of the netizens.

The more he thought about it, the more real it seemed, and at the same time, he burst into a fit of giggles.

Sakurajima Apricot’s presence is a bug, and without her, maybe second place would have been a solid first long ago.

“Awwww.”

A milky voice came from the side.

Natsuki Aoi turned his head over, only to see Rina tugging at his cuffs and stretching her neck out, wanting to see what was on her cell phone screen with him.

“Curious?”

“Uh-huh!” Lina nodded.

“Then let’s look together.” Saying that, Aoi Natsuki picked Rina up with both hands and placed her on her side, handing over her cell phone and giving Rina a look back at the recent photos of the top thirty girls in this school flower ranking.

Leena had her hands interlocked with her fingers, her teeth biting her left thumb, and whenever she saw a good-looking older sister, she exclaimed in surprise until she saw Sakurajima, who was in first place, and she was so excited that she jumped straight up.

What does it mean to be a real beauty girl, that is the existence of any dead angle looks seamless, Sakurajima apricot is such a girl, beautiful to the bone, even a back, I believe that when posted on the Internet, will cause a lot of netizens will cause a lively discussion.

Natsuki Aoi looked down and followed suit, looking at Sakurajima on the screen.

The movement of ruffling the sideburns around her ears, for a moment, Aoi Natsuki didn’t even have an original reason for her eyes to go blank.

It took a long time to come back.

……

Next day.

Starting from the fourth class in the afternoon is the School Flower Selection Contest, which will be open until 6:00 p.m. Since it’s informal, the contestants can choose to prepare their talents, or maybe just simply say a few declarations.

Aoi Natsuki had been listening to Yusuke at the front table chattering about the contestants’ programs for this competition in the morning, which ranged from singing to dancing to acting, so she could really look forward to it.

Aoi didn’t even understand why Yusuke was so interested, the school beauty contest had nothing to do with us.

He did have one point of curiosity, though, and that was that there was about yesterday’s suspected vote-scrubbing.

“About the second-place finisher, Yamauchi …… Erika? That’s the name, right? What program is she preparing for?”

“Oh! Aoi, you’ve really started paying attention to this competition as well! Yes, that girl is the hot favorite to win this time, the program is to prepare a complete song and dance, and I heard that she even specially brought her own dance clothes, so the level of dedication is evident.” Yusuke was quite recognized for his performance, and nodded with satisfaction.

“So have you noticed that the vote counts from last night to today are a bit odd.” Natsuki Arai jumped out of her phone and pulled up the history, and now that almost fourteen hours had passed, the number of votes had flipped again.

While the first place is still Apricot Sakurajima with 7,415 votes, second place Erika Yamauchi is biting the dust and has come in at 7,289 votes.

The third place position turned out to be Takahashi Mito, with her excellent raw pictures that made her smash those beauty pictures with a single punch – after all, only the students in the school knew about her nasty character – and once the scope was expanded to the whole internet, her vote count quickly rose to 6,915 votes.

“Look.”

“What’s the problem?”

“emm, from the fourth place, the number of votes is only 3,788 votes, completely cliff, although it’s bad to say so, but …… “Aoi Natsuki opened the other posts, some students’ sneak peeks of raw pictures, Yamauchi Erika’s no beauty face daily photos, the face value is indeed very high, but it is not as exquisite features as in the main post, on the contrary, Takahashi and Sakurajima’s daily photos, still very capable.

He showed Yusuke a couple of pictures front and center.

Needless to say, I believe he is able to understand it by heart.

Yusuke was similarly greeted with a five-second-long silence, and then threw Aoi a meaningful look, which Aoi immediately understood in seconds.

“It’s really just an inside job, isn’t it?”

“This kind of thing …… just figure a fun well, you also say do not need to be so serious.” Yusuke shrugged.

Although he was also guessing, such a drastic change in the number of votes and the fact that the showbiz people who came over this time were said to be two directors plus a girl group manager, it was obvious that they were here for a purpose.

Aoi Natsuki skimmed his mouth, he is very disdainful of this kind of cheating behavior, but in itself, this event is organized to create momentum, then cheating or not cheating is not much value in the actual discussion, the capital to obtain traffic, the audience to appreciate the performance, only the master wasted time.

“Uh, got it.”

With this matter turned over, Sakurajima herself shouldn’t care about these things, right? In itself, if she wanted to be an idol in the first place, she could have gone there a long time ago, she didn’t need to rely on this kind of school activity to hype up her traffic at all, and her mindset might really just be purely one of having fun.

……

The time quickly came to the fourth period of the afternoon.

Location, auditorium.

The heat of this event exceeded that of the past, Aoi Natsuki only felt that when the bell rang at the end of the third period class, there was a burst of dull footsteps at the corridor, although this selection was of an all-network nature, those who were able to go to the auditorium were still only the students of this school, but it would be released in the form of a live webcast.

Aoi Natsuki waited until there wasn’t much movement there in the corridor before getting up slowly and leisurely, when a text message from Hayakawa came in, he went ahead and found Hayakawa in the second class, and the two of them headed to the auditorium together.

Far away from each other thirty or forty meters, you can hear the students talking, arrived at the door of the auditorium, which is full of people, each sitting on small benches waiting, Aoi two people at this point to come, it is really close to discharging the door of the auditorium, and even the seats ……

“Aoi! Aoi!”

Natsuki Arai held her head high.

Far away Yusuke is waving towards himself, after that Aoi two people followed, then Yusuke sneakily returned behind the curtain, moved down two stools, signaling the two people to sit in the front row, just have left a few seats.

“Is that enough brother?” Yusuke raised an eyebrow.

“Too enough.” Natsuki Arai extended her right hand and touched fists with Yusuke.

Yusuke turned around and continued back to work behind the scenes.

The two sat down and waited quietly for the game to begin.

Not long after, the entire auditorium light dimmed, the stage illuminated, and at the same time also saw the auditorium door director of the teaching staff with a few people walked in, polite appearance, they should be Yusuke said that those showbiz people right?

Hmm?

The first thing Aoi Natsuki saw was a familiar face.

Isn’t that Hetty’s agent?

The glasses guy.

I didn’t think he would come.

“Natsuki, that older man seems to be Takeshi Fujimoto, the director who made Journey to Heaven eh! Wow, can such a heavyweight be invited?” Hayakawa said in surprise from the side.

There was no lack of students around who recognized their identities, and the murmurs grew louder, stepping on the red carpet, the trio made their way to the front position, a well-decorated rectangular table, and the three of them politely greeted each other, pulling out the chairs, and sitting down first.

The older man was quite enthusiastic, and even turned around and raised his hand to wave hello to the students at the back of the room, causing a wave of enthusiasm.

With the arrival of several judges, the competition also officially began, at the same time the rear cameraman synchronized open webcast, just two minutes after the start, has been integrated into the 400 people +, the popularity is quite good.

The auditorium, as a competition venue, does not exist backstage, it all requires the contestants to prepare in advance, change their costumes on the first floor, and then walk in through the main door of the auditorium.

But come to think of it it seems to be a very original opening, speaking as an opening, and it’s a direct hit with all the viewers.

The player’s seat was only advanced three or four meters further than where Natsuki Aoi was sitting.

The soundtrack was playing in the background at this point in the ear.

As the cameraman pushed the machine around and turned toward the auditorium door, the students who had noticed turned back and waited in silence for the current contestants to enter.

Boom–

The doors to the auditorium were pushed open.

One by one, wearing each different girls appear, there are wearing gymnastics clothes, there are wearing ballet clothes, there are wearing special jk clothes, there are even wearing funny costumes funny female existence, indeed in a crowd, is a maverick category, but …… after all, is the school flower selection, such eyeballs, it is estimated that in the end there will not be any high ranking it.

Until Sakurajima and Takahashi appeared, immediately attracting the attention of a crowd of students, under the spotlight, the two were like angels descending from the earth, and their knitted brows and smiles moved countless watchers.

Unlike the others, both of them did not change any clothing, just wearing the usual school uniform, but it is this appearance, but still set off a small storm on the Internet.

After all, many people left school, in fact, look at the dance clothes rather more often than the school uniform, now see there are wearing school uniforms so cute girls, a moment was adorable, in the pop-up screen crazy brush screen asking their names, this value is the real one thousand years of the beautiful girl ah!

Sakurajima Apricot, facing so many people, still had a light smile on her face and was not nervous at all as she walked towards the front.

On the contrary, Takahashi Mito’s face stiffened a bit, frowned slightly, and took a sideways glance at Sakurajima, always feeling that he was fooled by her again ……

Midway through the walk, the doors to the auditorium were pushed open again, and this time it was the same girl with the same face, but the heat of the crowd was obviously much weaker.

Looking at the appearance, Natsuki Arai recognized her as Erika Yamauchi.

It’s true that in reality, she is not as high-value as she is in the photos, but she has reached the level where she can be an idol.

The crowd’s gazes were drawn to the two girls in front of them, and Erika Yamauchi, who was walking in the back, looked a little embarrassed, even though she was still wearing the same dance outfit as the girl group, it still didn’t attract any more gazes to her.

Fujimoto Takeshi at the judges’ table saw the two girls and was even more glowing, until when both sides were leveled, he was friendly as a director but held out his hands to welcome them, and came to Sakurajima Apricot’s face in the first second.

“Hello, you must be …….”

The female judge located in the back followed, heard the director say this, and hastily pulled down his cuffs, blocked her mouth with her hand, attached her ear over, and whispered, “Director, it’s not her ……”

Fujimoto Takeshi was shocked, unexpectedly not in front of this out of the ordinary girl, incredible, this face value not to mention debut, come to my movie as a female a problem ah, he eased the mood, turned to look at the side of the girl, indeed, girls have their own beauty, this girl’s is also the same very audience audience.

Takeshi Fujimoto smiled slightly, “That must be ……”

“Director, it’s not her either …… it’s the one in the back ……”

Takeshi Fujimoto’s smile froze.

The afterglow swept to the girl in the back that he had been subjectively ignoring.

So that’s her? ……

Somehow, obviously on weekdays, when he saw this level of beauty, he would light up, but today, a strong sense of loss welled up inside him at this moment, and he was unable to calm down for a long time.
