Nanami Hashimoto, who had changed into a shrine maiden costume, and Mai Shiraishi walked out of the dressing room with Sayuri Matsumura, who had put on a yukata, and Wakadie, who was waiting at the door, saluted them and said, "The room is ready, please come with me." After speaking, he reached out and took Matsumura Sayuri from Nanami Hashimoto's hand.

Nana Hashimoto didn't stop and said, "No need, Sha Yuri can just hold it by ourselves." ”

Ruodie nodded spontaneously, stopped talking, and turned to lead the way.

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi helped Sayuri Matsumura to follow Wakadie to a bedroom, Nana Hashimoto looked inside, the bedding had been laid in the bedroom, and a stove of incense was lit next to the pillow, and the faint aroma of the spices burned out, which smelled very good. There was still a low table next to the futon with a bowl of decoction on it.

After Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi placed Sayuri Matsumura on the futon and covered the quilt for her, Wakadie pointed to the bowl of soup and said, "This is the soup that the master ordered me to prepare to calm my nerves." Your friends are possessed by demons, and it will be good to drink them. ”

Nana Hashimoto nodded at Wakadie to express her gratitude, while Mai Shiraishi hurriedly lifted Matsumura's upper body up and leaned against herself, took the soup bowl and fed Matsumura Sayuri to drink.

After Matsumura finished drinking the decoction, Mai Shiraishi put her down and covered her with the futon, and then exited the room with Nanami Hashimoto. Mai Shiraishi glanced at the unconscious Matsumura Sayuri with complicated eyes, bit her lip and closed the door.

Mai Shiraishi perked up a little, and Okimashi nodded and said to Ruodie: "Let's go, I guess your master can't wait, right?" ”

Ruodie didn't say anything, but silently led the two of them down the corridor to a room at the other end of the dojo, knelt at the door, opened the door and saluted inside: "Master, the two young ladies have finished bathing, and they have come to see the master." ”

Onmyoji's cold voice came: "Please come in, two young ladies." ”

"Yes." After Ruodie bowed her head, she gestured to Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, who were standing aside: "Two young ladies, please." ”

The quaint etiquette and slightly heavy atmosphere made Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi feel a sense of pressure, and after nodding at Ruodie, the two took small steps and walked into the room.

It is a quaint tea room, decorated only with a low cabinet placed in the corner of the wall, except for a picture scroll hanging behind the onmyoji. A low table was placed in the middle of the tea room, surrounded by four cloth balls, and the Onmyoji was sitting on one of them.

A small vermilion charcoal stove on the low table is warming a wine jug, and three wine glasses are placed around the small charcoal stove.

Onmyoji looked up at the two who walked in, and stretched out his hand to signal them to sit down.

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi put on their shrine maiden costumes and sat upright on the cloth ball in a sitting position.

Looking at the two people wearing witch costumes and white clothes and red hips, the Onmyoji couldn't help but look at them. The short-haired Nana Hashimoto is not a little heroic, and her delicate appearance reveals a bookish atmosphere, which looks calm and ethereal. The girl's skin was soaked in the hot springs, and there was a hint of ruddy in the whiteness, which looked very attractive.

The long-haired Mai Shiraishi is even more beautiful, and the girl who is already outstanding in appearance shows a different kind of temptation against the backdrop of the witch costume. The fair face and ruddy skin make people want to take a bite.

Looking at the two sitting in front of him with their heads bowed silently, Onmyoji reached out and picked up the wine jug, and poured warm wine into the three wine glasses on the low table. Picked up one of the wine glasses and said with a smile: "Green ant new brew wine, red clay small stove." ”

Nana Hashimoto didn't know why, and the ghost sent the second half of the sentence: "If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a cup of it?" This is the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty in China's "Ask Liu XIX". After speaking, he looked at the onmyoji in front of him with clear eyes.

"I didn't expect that today's young people are still familiar with Chinese poetry." Onmyoji picked up one of the wine glasses and handed it to Nanami Hashimoto, and said with some teasingness: "Then Miss Hashimoto, can you drink a glass of nothing?" ”

Nana Hashimoto, who took the wine glass, did not feel the warm wine glass in her hand, looked at the pale green wine in the wine glass, raised the wine glass, poured all the wine in the glass into her mouth, and then put the wine glass on the low table, and then slowly swallowed the wine in her mouth. The girl, who had never drunk alcohol, felt the burning of the liquor in her throat, and looked up at the Onmyoji with slightly demonstrative eyes, her eyes stubborn.

Mai Shiraishi, who was next to Nanami Hashimoto, watched her movements and quietly pulled Nanami Hashimoto's sleeve. However, Nanami Hashimoto did not put away his eyes and continued to stare at the onmyoji in front of him.

A smile appeared on the corner of the onmyoji's mouth but he didn't speak, but after filling the two empty wine glasses on the table, he poured himself a drink.

Feeling the silence, Mai Shiraishi was slightly uneasy. In the quiet tea room, only the small charcoal stove on the low table is burning slowly. Between the three silent people, the solemn atmosphere made Mai Shiraishi almost out of breath, so she quietly pulled Nanami Hashimoto's sleeve.

Feeling Mai Shiraishi's movements, Nanami Hashimoto sighed in her heart, let go of her stubbornness, glanced at Mai Shiraishi with pleading in her eyes, lowered her head and said, "Do you want the two of us to sit with you all night like this?" ”

Hearing that Nana Hashimoto finally spoke, Onmyoji put down the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Of course not, but the night is long, so why should Miss Hashimoto be in a hurry?" ”

Hearing the joke in the tone of the man in front of him, Nana Hashimoto said with some shame: "Why should Onmyoji-sama be like this, since Mai and I promised to stay for one night, we will naturally fulfill our promise, you don't need to do these tricks." ”

Looking at Nanami Hashimoto, who was a little angry, Onmyoji felt that his joke should end here, so he said, "There is still time until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, so I will prepare a pot of warm wine to invite the two of you to take a break, so as not to lose your strength later." After all, it is very physically exhausting to dance the dance of Tianyu being betrayed. ”

"I'm exhausted, what kind of nonsense are you talking about!" Nana Hashimoto obviously thought badly, and roared angrily: "What ......is the dance of Tianyu being betrayed?" The girl who suddenly reacted looked at the smiling onmyoji in front of her with an embarrassed face, and suddenly puffed out her cheeks and covered her face with her hands, looking very delicate.

"Hahaha, it seems that the two of you have misunderstood." Onmyoji smiled and said, "It's just a little joke, I hope the two young ladies don't mind, Qianye is here to make amends." After saying that, he put his hands on his knees and bowed.

Mai Shiraishi, who felt the heat on her face, hurriedly pulled Nanami Hashimoto, who was bowing her head and was shy, and said, "This joke of Master Onmyoji is really ......" Thinking of what she thought she was going to experience, Mai Shiraishi couldn't say any more, and her fair face and neck were flushed.

Looking at Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, who were already blushing and about to drip blood, Onmyoji explained, "I misunderstood the two of you, but this is also part of the reward, and you really need to stay here for one night." ”

Nana Hashimoto looked up at the Onmyoji in front of him, and asked suspiciously, "Since Onmyoji-sama doesn't have that kind of dirty purpose, then why do you want the two of us to stay together?" ”

"Miss Hashimoto doesn't have to be polite, just call it a thousand nights." The Onmyoji put away the smile on his face and said politely: "The purpose of leaving the two of them below is actually to need the two of them to dance a dance of the sale of the heavens in front of the main hall of the shrine at twelve o'clock at midnight. Originally, there was another candidate for this matter, but there was a temporary change. It just so happened that the two young ladies came to ask for help, so they had to use this as a condition to let the two take their place temporarily. ”

Nana Hashimoto, who finally calmed down, asked with some doubts: "But Mai and I don't know how to dance any dance of Tianyu being betrayed?" ”

The self-proclaimed Onmyoji of Thousand Nights smiled and said, "Miss Hashimoto doesn't need to worry about this, there is naturally a way for the two of you to complete this dance of Tianyu's betrayal." As long as the two young ladies cooperate, this little thing is not a problem. ”

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi glanced at each other, and after knowing that they only needed to dance and not pay the price of their bodies as they had thought before, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.

Nana Hashimoto didn't remember her previous misunderstanding, and said with some shame: "Senya-san, why did you say such a misleading thing?" Mai and I thought you wanted us to accompany you......"

Qianye looked at the shyness on Nanami Hashimoto's face, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I want to see Miss Hashimoto's shyness, and you are uninhibited by nature, causing trouble for the two of you." ”

Mai Shiraishi felt the heat on her face, and said with some annoyance: "Qianye-san is really, this joke is too much. ”

Nanami Hashimoto was also speechless for a while at the eccentric character of this self-proclaimed Onmyoji of Thousand Nights, and in order to resolve the embarrassment, Nanami Hashimoto took the initiative to ask: "Thousand Nights-san, what is the dance of Tianyu betrayal you just mentioned?" Why do you need me and Mai to dance? ”

Hearing Nanami Hashimoto's question, Mai Shiraishi also looked at Chiya curiously, waiting for his answer.

"The Dance of the Sale of Tenyu is a dance of the gods that the legendary god of dance, Tenyuhime, dances in front of the eight million gods of Tianjin in order to open the Iwado of the heavens and bring Amaterasu back to the world and bring light to all beings, and makes the eight million gods of Tianjin applaud in unison. The Dance of the Celestial Sale is therefore considered to be the origin of the Japanese Kagura Dance. Chiya took a sip of his wine glass and continued: "Originally, I had invited the shrine maidens of Kanda Shrine and Hieda Shrine to complete this dance in front of the gods, but something happened in the middle of the way, so I had to let the two young ladies do it for me. ”

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi nodded a little ignorantly when they heard Qianye's explanation, and couldn't help but think in their hearts, is it really okay to dance in front of such an important god and let the inexperienced self come?
