As the music played, Nanami Hashimoto once again stood in the passage leading to the stage, and beside her, the members of Nogizaka 46, who were also standing here.

Today is the last stop of Nogizaka 46's "Summer National Tour 2013" tour, and after the first concert in Sapporo, after concerts in Fukuoka, Osaka, and Nagoya, Nogizaka 46's "Summer National Tour 2013" has finally returned to Tokyo and ushered in the last concert of the national tour.

In the future, there will be an additional event at Yoyogi Daiichi Gymnasium called "Summer National Tour 2013 FINAL!" But Nogizaka 46's tour this summer is the last one today. In 10 days, I traveled all over the five major cities in Japan, and traveled all over the country, and the tight schedule, intense performances, and the boiling enthusiasm of the live audience made all the members feel excited and accumulated a lot of fatigue.

But today, everything is coming to an end, Nana Hashimoto thought so, his eyes couldn't help but sweep over the other members who were also standing in the passage, although everyone's face could not hide their tiredness, but at the same time there was a smile of excitement and joy, although everyone was a little lost in their hearts, but it was just a sense of reluctance and emptiness after the excitement of the concert that was about to end.

After all, after ten days of dedication, everyone at Nogizaka 46 put all their energy into it, and every concert poured all their energy into it, showing their most perfect side in front of all the audiences and blooming their most gorgeous brilliance. Whether it is the members or the operation staff, everyone has put in all their efforts for the five concerts in ten days, and at the last moment of today, everyone will inevitably feel a little empty, right?

Nana Hashimoto did not raise her hand and pressed it on her chest, feeling the hollowness in her heart, her face smiled with some relief, I am afraid that it is precisely because of this loss that someone will continue to climb new peaks and find something that can satisfy herself, right? Isn't it precisely because of this that everyone at Nogizaka 46 will continue to move forward and achieve one achievement after another?

Thinking of the big artists and seniors in the entertainment industry that he had seen, Nana Hashimoto didn't recall that when they chatted with him, he talked about the motivation that prompted them to continue to achieve new achievements, isn't it this desire to fill the loss and emptiness in his heart? After achieving a brilliant achievement, the inner disappointment must be filled with new achievements, only to achieve new and higher achievements, in order to fill the emptiness in their hearts, let their lost hearts be satisfied, but after the satisfaction will produce a new emptiness, so that the cycle of alternating emptiness and satisfaction, is the driving force that prompts people to continue to move forward and climb upward.

Nana Hashimoto didn't think of this, and a confident smile appeared on her face. In that case, let's turn this concert into a new ladder to climb up! From here, looking for new satisfaction to fill the emptiness and loss in the heart at the moment, Nogizaka 46 and Nanami Hashimoto will never lose the motivation to move forward here!

For the first time, Nanami Hashimoto took the lead in stretching out her hand and said to the members, "Let's come to the round formation!" ”

The members looked at Nanami Hashimoto in some surprise, in their impression, this quiet girl from Hokkaido, rarely takes the initiative like this, and the round formation is usually initiated by Reika Sakurai as the captain or Rina Ikoma who was the center before. But at such a moment, everyone could understand her excitement, so everyone stood in a circle and shouted together: "Do your best!" Thank! Smile! We are Nogizaka! Ascent no Sazaka 46! ”

After shouting the slogan of the round formation, all the members looked at each other and smiled, and then rushed out of the passage together and boarded the final stage of Nogizaka's 46 "Summer National Tour 2013" concert.

————————————————

Senya, who was sitting in the stakeholder seat, had a smile on her lips and looked at the members of Nogizaka 46 who were performing on the stage with all their hearts and minds, with appreciation in her eyes. What especially makes Chiya feel eye-catching is that today's Nana Hashimoto is far more dazzling than usual, as if this short-haired girl has burned herself all today, and is going to bloom on this stage with the most brilliant brilliance of this summer.

Although I don't quite understand why Nanami Hashimoto released herself like this today, Chiya doesn't mind admiring the dazzling brilliance of his wife on stage. Nanami Hashimoto, who burns and blooms like the most gorgeous fireworks, is something that she can't usually see, even in front of a thousand nights, Nanami Hashimoto has never shown this side of her. Therefore, Qianye was unwilling to give up such a rare opportunity, and enjoyed his wife's performance with a focused expression.

Beside Qianye, after a little disguise, Prince Fumihito, who hid his identity to come to see his daughter's concert, was looking at Yoshiko who was performing seriously on the stage with some restraint. Although he still maintains the demeanor of the royal family, at this moment, the light sticks in Prince Fumihito's hands and the scarf with Yoshiko's name printed on it, as well as some calls that can't keep up with the beat, all show that even Prince Fumihito is just a father who loves his daughter now.

"Your Royal Highness, if Her Royal Highness Yoshiko knew that you were supporting her concert like this, she would be very moved, right?" Qianye looked at Prince Fumihito, who wanted to stand up and make a call, but didn't dare to be excited because of his identity and the existence of Qianye beside him, and said to him a little ridiculously.

"Mr. Chiba said with a smile, I don't need to let Kako know about this kind of thing like I came to see their concert, so as not to make her proud because of this. But Mr. Chiba, you came here today to watch Miss Hashimoto perform, right? Speaking of which, Miss Hashimoto is worthy of being Mr. Chiya, your disciple, and today's performance is really dazzling! In the face of Chiya's ridicule, Prince Fumihito stopped his movements with some embarrassment, and while praising Nana Hashimoto to cover up his embarrassment, he put the light stick in his hand and the towel with Yoshiko's name printed on it on the seat next to him, because it was a relational seat, there were not many people sitting here, so there were still many vacant seats next to Prince Fumihito and Chiya.

The corners of Qianye's mouth curled slightly, obviously very satisfied with Prince Fumihito's praise of Nanami Hashimoto, but considering the identity and modesty of Nanami Hashimoto, Qianye still smiled and said to Prince Fumihito: "His Royal Highness has praised falsely, although Nanamin's performance today is indeed very good, it is not dazzling, and the performance of the other members is enough to praise." On this stage, there are also members who are not inferior to her, and she is not the one who stands the most dazzling in the center. ”

"Standing in the center? Mr. Chiba, you're talking about Miss Shiraishi, right? Prince Fumihito seemed to have misunderstood what Senya meant, and looked at Mai Shiraishi who was standing in the position of the Center, remembering that she was also a disciple of Chiya, so Prince Fumihito, who thought he understood the meaning of Chiya, turned to praise Mai Shiraishi again: "Miss Shiraishi's performance is indeed outstanding, and she really deserves the position of Center." Standing there, she seemed to attract everyone's attention and attention, and I am afraid that only Miss Hashimoto could stand behind her without being a foil. It seems that Nanami Hashimoto's performance did make a deep impression on Prince Fumihito, and even when he praised Mai Shiraishi, he still didn't forget to mention the existence of Nanami Hashimoto.

Hearing Prince Fumihito's words, Qianye glanced at him with a strange expression, and after thinking for a while, he said to him: "Your Royal Highness, Mai and Nanamin's performance is certainly commendable, but as Your Royal Highness, you don't need to flatter me by praising their performance, if you have anything to say, please say it directly." "I don't like others to flatter me like this, and it prevents Prince Fumihito from complimenting Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto.

Seeing that Qianye didn't want to listen to flattery, Prince Fumihito also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, for a person of his status, it was really a little difficult to deliberately flatter a person. After adjusting his train of thought for a while, Prince Fumihito approached Qianye with some caution and asked him in a low voice, "Mr. Chiba, I don't know if you have heard of the Huangquan Sect?" ”

Prince Fumihito deliberately lowered his voice, so in the noisy environment of the entire concert site, even if he was sitting next to Prince Fumihito, it was difficult to hear what he was saying with the ears of ordinary people. But Qianye is not an ordinary person, and he still hears Prince Fumihito's words clearly, even in such a noisy environment.

"Listening to the name, it doesn't seem to be a serious religion, where did Prince Fumihito hear this name?" Because of the thousand-year-old covenant of no war, Qianye was very concerned about the movements of the Huangquan ghost clan, so the word "Huangquan" in Prince Fumihito's words stirred Qianye's nerves and made him focus on what Prince Fumihito said. In order to make Prince Fumihito hear what he said clearly, Chiya even used a little trick to make his voice reach Prince Fumihito's ears accurately.

Seeing that Chiya was talking to himself intently, and seemed to have a strong interest in this matter, Prince Fumihito was overjoyed in his heart and introduced this matter to Chiya in detail: "This is a religion that has recently emerged in Tokyo, and its worship and worship is Susanoo, the lord of the Yellow Spring. It is now quite popular in Tokyo, and many government officials and business people have joined the religion. Even some celebrities in the entertainment industry have participated in it, using their appeal to promote this religion, which is already quite influential. Speaking of the Huangquan Sect, Prince Fumihito's face became a little solemn, as if he was worried about the rise of this sect.

"If it were just a religion, His Royal Highness would not have come to me specifically to talk about this matter, and he would have deliberately chosen such an occasion." Qianye obviously heard Prince Fumihito's voice, this Huangquan Sect, which was solemnly proposed by Prince Fumihito, is obviously not an ordinary religion, otherwise, Prince Fumihito would not choose such an unspeakable occasion as the noisy concert scene to talk about this matter: "Your Royal Highness Prince has any ideas, please tell me clearly, where you can do your best, you will still do a little bit of your best." ”

"Indeed, as you think, Mr. Chiba, this is not an ordinary religion." Prince Fumihito remembered his previous investigation of the Huangquan Sect, and the face became a little ugly, but he still continued to introduce the information he knew about the Huangquan Sect to Qianye: "When I heard about the existence of this religion before, I just thought that this was an ordinary emerging cult, and I didn't pay much attention to it, after all, this kind of thing is not under the control of the imperial family. ”

Listening to Prince Fumihito's words, Chiya did not interject, but waited for his next words. Since Prince Fumihito specifically mentioned this matter, it is obvious that the matter is not as he said that he did not pay too much attention to it, and something must have happened that made Prince Fumihito think that this Huangquan Sect is not a cult from time to time.

"But because some people from the Jurong Friendship Association were also involved in this matter, the royal family also had to intervene in the investigation of this matter." Prince Fumihito continued to tell what had happened, but his expression became a little angry, as if he was angry at what this cult called the Yellow Springs Sect had done: "After the royal family intervened in the investigation, a lot of information about the Yellow Springs Sect was collected to me, and in this information, it was shown that the Yellow Springs Sect had amassed a lot of wealth in the name of religious acceptance, and would regularly hold unsightly gatherings in the name of sacrifices. Originally, I thought this was the true face of the Yellow Springs Sect, but when I sent one of my subordinates to investigate it by joining the Yellow Spring Sect, what happened forced me to come and ask for your help, Mr. Chiba. ”

After Prince Fumihito finished speaking, he looked at Qianye with a hopeful gaze, hoping to get help and guidance from him.

"Your men have betrayed you? Or a betrayal for no reason, right? Chiya was not surprised by Prince Fumihito's words, the so-called terrible cult is not because of its use of religious means to accumulate wealth and do evil, but because of its means of controlling people's hearts. People who are controlled by cults will not only lose their minds, but will also be wholeheartedly loyal to cults, and this is the most terrible thing about cults. Looking at Prince Fumihito's surprised eyes, Qianye explained with a smile: "If Your Royal Highness Your subordinates are missing or dead, Your Royal Highness, you should be looking for the police, only if something happens that Your Royal Highness betrays Your Royal Highness for no reason, and you will come to ask for my help, Your Highness, right?" ”

"It's true that as you guessed, Mr. Chiba, after the subordinates I sent successfully joined the Huangquan Sect, they originally sent back information on time, but after he participated in a sacrifice of the Huangquan Sect, he was like a demon, and his whole temperament changed greatly, not only donated all his savings to the church, but also completely betrayed me, and also revealed the information that the royal family and the police were investigating this cult to the high-level of the Huangquan Sect, causing the exposure of several undercover personnel, but the most terrible thing is that These exposed undercover agents also betrayed after participating in a sacrificial event. It is precisely because of this that I had to come and ask for your help, Mr. Chiba. When Prince Wenren said this, there was a little fear on his face, obviously afraid of the methods of the Huangquan Sect.

"Is that so? Hearing what your Royal Highness said, I have become interested in this cult. A playful smile appeared on the corner of Qianye's mouth.
