"Mai, do you know what Nanami did?" Looking around, he didn't find the figure he wanted to see, and the somewhat worried Saito Asuka ran to Mai Shiraishi's side and asked her about the news of Nanami Hashimoto, who knew that Mai Shiraishi lived with Nanami Hashimoto: "Why didn't you participate in such an important event today?" Is she not feeling well, and she has a back injury? ”

Because they had received an invitation to the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles baseball game and a live performance, today the members of Nogizaka 46 came to the headquarters of Lotte Co., Ltd., the parent company of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, to attend the morning meeting of Rakuten Co., Ltd. and explain their decision to participate in the first ball event of Nogizaka 46. However, on such an important occasion, Nanami Hashimoto, one of the 46 Eight Lucky Gods of Nogizaka, was absent, which made Asuka Saito, who had always been concerned about Nanami Hashimoto, feel worried, so he asked Mai Shiraishi, who had a good relationship with Nanami Hashimoto, about Nanami Hashimoto's whereabouts.

"Asuka, are you so worried about Nanamin?" Mai Shiraishi teased Asuka Saito with a smile, looked at her little blushing face, and said with a smile: "But you don't have to worry, Nanamin is very good, she just got a job starring in a TV series, so she won't come over today." ”

"Did Nana Min go to make a TV series? I'm so envious! When Asuka Saito heard the news that Nanami Hashimoto was going to film a TV series, he patted his small chest, let go of the worry about Nanami Hashimoto in his heart, and an expression of envy appeared on his face.

And Reika Sakurai, who was on the side, heard Mai Shiraishi say this, and asked her curiously, "Nana Min filming a TV series?" How long will it take? You won't be absent from events all the time, will you? At the same time, Sakurai Reika also felt a little strange in her heart, why some members were absent from the event, and she, the captain, would not know the reason.

"I don't know the exact time, but it is estimated that Nanami will not come to the event for the whole of July." Mai Shiraishi pouted a little lonely, obviously unhappy that Nana Hashimoto hadn't left for so long: "After all, it's NHK's Taiga drama, and there's no way to be so strict." ”

"Big River drama?" This news was like a bombshell, which made the members around them scream, and immediately attracted the sideways eyes of the surrounding Lotte Group employees, and some people even cast dissatisfied eyes.

Looking at the dissatisfied eyes of the surrounding Lotte employees, Reika Sakurai, as the captain, hurriedly bowed her head to the surrounding employees to apologize, and then lowered her voice and asked Mai Shiraishi in a low voice, "Mai, you're not joking, are you?" Did Nana Min really get the opportunity to star in NHK Taiga drama? But I haven't heard my agent talk about it, have I? Besides, even if it's a guest appearance in a Taiga drama, you don't need to come to the event for the whole of July, right? But it's really good news, we also have members of Nogizaka 46 who can make a cameo appearance in Taiga drama! ”

For Nogizaka 46 to have members who can appear in a heavyweight drama like Taiga drama, Reika Sakurai is full of envy and pride in the growth of the group.

"It's not a cameo! Nanami got the opportunity to play an official role! Mai Shiraishi's tone was filled with a hint of pride, and her face was full of pride that Nana Hashimoto was not able to appear in the Taiga drama, and at the same time explained to Reika Sakurai the specific situation that Nana Hashimoto did not appear in the Taiga drama: "Nanamin told me that because she will appear in several episodes, according to the habit of actors who can't leave the set during the filming of Taiga dramas on NHK, she will stay on the crew for the whole of July and can't come to Nogizaka 46's activities." ”

"That's amazing!" Reika Sakurai's face was full of surprise and admiration: "Nana Min, this is the first time to appear in a TV series, right?" I actually got such a powerful resource from the beginning, I am so envious! However, Nanamin, as one of the Eight Lucky Gods, if she can't come to Nogizaka 46's activities, what will she do? Is there any arrangement for other members to serve on behalf of the operation? ”

On the one hand, she was envious of Nana Hashimoto's failure to appear in the Taiga drama, but on the other hand, Reika Sakurai, as the captain, also had to consider how the group would carry out activities in the absence of members. After all, Nana Hashimoto is not one of the important eight gods of good luck in Nogizaka 46, and if she is absent from the event, there will undoubtedly be other members to replace her place.

Mai Shiraishi frowned and thought for a moment, with uncertainty in her tone: "It should be arranged, right?" It's okay to say that other activities are good.,If it's going to be live.,Nana Min's position.,There aren't many people who can act on behalf of you, right? ”

Because of the different positions, the movements of the dance will also be different, and in addition to the different positions, if you want to replace the position of Nanami Hashimoto, you must be familiar with these contents. In Nogizaka 46, there are not many people who are familiar with the dance and movement of Nanami Hashimoto's position, so the choice of substitute candidates is relatively limited.

"Let's look at the operation arrangement, but Nana Min can participate in the Taiga drama, which is a very great thing for us Nogizaka 46!" Although Reika Sakurai is still worried about the absence of Nanami Hashimoto, her face is full of happy smiles: "The next time I see Nanamin, it will be the actress Hashimoto, and I want to ask her for an autograph!" ”

"Hahaha, in that case, I'm going to quickly ask Nana Min to sign me a little more, and if I sell it online, it will be worth a lot of money!" Mai Shiraishi heard Reika Sakurai say this, and also teased Nanami Hashimoto.

"But if Nana Min is not there, in the show 'Nogizaka Yin Yang Liao', one of the four members who went to the supernatural scene to perform exorcisms is missing, and Nana Min is in this position in the show, and the other members who don't know Yin Yang can't be replaced, right?" Nishino Nanase was a little worried.

Although the program "Nogizaka Onmyoryo" is only a prime-time program, because of its real supernatural events and the content of the young and beautiful girl exorcist, it has now gained considerable popularity, and the ratings can be compared to some less popular prime-time programs. Therefore, if Nana Hashimoto is absent and the acting members do not perform well, it will undoubtedly have a certain impact on the show.

Hearing Nishino Nanase's concern, Mai Shiraishi's gaze turned to the side, and Rina Ikoma, who also heard this sentence but seemed eager to try, said to Nishino Nanase: "Don't worry, Nana Sai." Don't forget, Chiya-san picked out five talented members in our Nogizaka 46! ”

Being reminded by Mai Shiraishi like this, Nanase Nishino looked at Rina Ikoma on the side, remembering that she was also considered by Chiya to have a talent for learning ancient swordsmanship. It's just that Rina Ikoma hasn't started studying before, which makes Nanase Nishino ignore the existence of Rina Ikoma. However, since the beginning of this year, after returning from her hometown in Akita Prefecture, Rina Ikoma has found the answer to the question that Qianye asked her before, and began to learn ancient swordsmanship with Qianye, and very formally according to the ancient worship of Qianye as a teacher. For this reason, Rina Ikoma's grandfather, Shigetaka Ikoma, the head of the Yajima Ikoma clan, came to Tokyo in person to witness his granddaughter's apprenticeship ceremony.

"But if Ichikuma-chan is concerned, she only started to learn from Chiya-san this year, right?" Nanase Nishino frowned, looking at Rina Ikoma, with worry in her eyes: "If she has swordsmanship, will she be able to cope with the situation at the scene?" If you're hurt by a demon, it's no joke! Not to mention the impact on the show, the demon's attack will cause a lot of damage to Ikuma-chan! ”

"Don't worry about that, Nanasa." Mai Shiraishi had an indifferent smile on her face and said to Nanase Nishino, "With your and my yin-yang techniques and Kazmi's swordsmanship, it's enough to deal with demons. Ichikuma-chan can watch the monitor with the 'banana man' San, and you don't have to go to the scene with us. ”

Although Mai Shiraishi's words were for the sake of Ikoma Rina, it still made Ikoma Rina feel uncomfortable. After losing the center, do you have to be taken care of even on the show? Thinking of this, Rina Ikoma couldn't help but secretly hate why she had to figure out the answer to the question asked by Chiya after going back to her hometown and asking her grandfather. So much so that he only started to learn the swordsmanship of Sakura-ryu with Takayama and Nishino Nanase this year, and he still can't fight.

"You can't learn the swordsmanship of the cherry blossom stream just by practicing, and Ikuma-chan has been slow to enter the realm so far, also because of her lack of actual combat." However, Nanase Nishino has a different opinion: "The reason why Kazmi's current level of swordsmanship is so high, in addition to the foundation of her previous years of practicing kendo, is also because she has experienced a lot of actual combat with us, so her strength will improve by leaps and bounds." Yikuma-chan finally had such a chance to fight, and she couldn't be allowed to look at the monitor like this and miss this opportunity. ”

Nishino Nanase said this and looked at Rina Ikoma standing beside her, on the one hand, she wanted Rina Ikoma to participate in the show so as to get a valuable opportunity to fight, but on the other hand, she was worried that she would not be able to deal with the attacks of the demons she might encounter, so she fell into hesitation.

"Nana Sai, what you said also makes sense, but let's look at Ichikuma-chan's own choice." Mai Shiraishi nodded, she saw the hesitation in Nishino Nanase's heart, so she looked at Rina Ikoma and asked her opinion: "Ichikuma-chan, would you rather watch the monitor with the 'banana man' San, or would you like to go with us to deal with the demons?" ”

"I'm going to protect Na-chan!" Rina Ikoma hugged Nanase Nishino, and said to Mai Shiraishi with a serious expression on her face: "I chose to deal with demons with Mai, I didn't learn Guliu swordsmanship to sit in front of the monitor and watch you fight!" ”

"Then it's settled!" Mai Shiraishi had a bright smile on her face: "I'll say hello to the operation side first, and then I'll go talk to the program team." ”

"Thanks, Mai!" Seeing that Mai Shiraishi had finalized the matter, Rina Ikoma hurriedly let go of Nanase Nishino and bowed vigorously to her.

At this time, Reika Sakurai saw that the morning meeting of the Lotte Group had begun, and hurriedly shouted to them: "Everyone is assembled, it's time for us to enter!" ”

Hearing Reika Sakurai's shout, Mai Shiraishi hurriedly lined up with Nanase Nishino and Rina Ikoma with the other members and walked into the morning meeting venue of the Lotte Group.

"Another girl whose face has been taken away." Haruka Tu Yumen covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief with some disgust, covering up the strong smell of corpses at the scene of the crime.

Because it was already summer, the corpses at the scene had begun to decay and become giants, accompanied by a strong corpse smell. This made Haruka Dogomon, who was the deputy head of the information section of the countermeasures room, feel extremely uncomfortable even though she was still a girl at heart.

"Section Chief, if you're not feeling well, let's go and wait in the car." A police officer from the countermeasures room standing next to Haruka Tsuchigomon persuaded Haruka Tsuchigomon.

Haruka Tuyumen put away her handkerchief and shook her head: "No, there are some things that you have to watch on the spot to be able to understand." Haruka Tsuchigomon rejected the proposal of her subordinates and insisted on staying at the scene of the crime. In Haruka Dogomon's opinion, as the deputy head of the Intelligence Division, if he can't even stand the scene of the crime, how can he establish his prestige in front of his subordinates? What's more, in the face of demon crimes, some traces left at the scene can only be discovered by seeing them with your own eyes.

Holding back her nausea, Haruka Dogomon carefully examined the corpse on the ground whose limbs had begun to swell.

The entire skin of the corpse's face had been peeled off, and the exposed flesh had become somewhat dull due to the beginning of the decomposition, and several flies were crawling on it. Both eyes also bulge out of the sockets due to the peeling of the entire skin of the face and the effect of gases from the decay of tissue fluids in the body. Due to the corruption, the lens in the eyeball began to cloud, which made both eyeballs look gray. The two eyes that were once smart when the deceased was alive are now as ugly as the eyes of a dead fish, but Haruka Tsuchigomon can feel a strong unwillingness and yearning for life from these eyes.

Judging by the clothes of the deceased, it should be a high school girl from a nearby high school. People have already been asked to go to a nearby high school to investigate the identity of the deceased according to the style of the school uniform, but the results may not come out for a while. The police officer of the countermeasures room who had dissuaded Haruka Tsuchimonto just now was wearing the standard armor of the countermeasure room, and squatted next to Haruka Tsuchigomon a little awkwardly and reported to her: "The deceased was neatly dressed and had no traces of sexual assault. Except for the skin that was peeled off, there were no other external injuries on the deceased's body, and the belongings were still on the deceased, so the suspicion of robbery could be preliminarily ruled out. As for the further cause of death, it will need to be sent for an autopsy before a conclusion can be reached. ”

"Don't be so troublesome, it's the white powder woman, and it's the scope of our countermeasure room." Haruka Domimon wiped the edges of the deceased's facial wound with her rubber-gloved fingers, looked at the white powder on her fingers, and said with certainty.
