After a simple wash of her body, Nana Hashimoto did not go to the hot spring with Mai Shiraishi and the others, but changed into a yukata with a fine lavender pattern and came to the study of Thousand Nights.

Seeing Nana Hashimoto come in, a smile appeared on Qianye's face, and he beckoned to Nana Hashimoto to sit beside him: "Nanamin, you are here, come and sit." As he said this, Qianye stretched out his hand, and a ball of cloth automatically slid to his side.

Nana Hashimoto didn't see this, with a trace of anger on her face, but she still sat next to Qianye and tilted her head to look at him: "Qianye, you have something to tell me, and you specially called me over to delay my time in the hot spring, how do you compensate me?" Nana Hashimoto said this, and pursed her lips as if she was angry.

But Qianye knew that Nanami Hashimoto was just being coquettish, so he reached out and took her in his arms, gently pinched the tip of Nanami Hashimoto's nose and said with a smile: "Then Nana Min, how do you want me to compensate you?" Will I give you my whole life? While saying this, Chiya's hand was placed on Nanami Hashimoto's thigh, which was still wet after taking a bath, and gently stroked her tender skin.

"Don't be like this, Ichikuma-chan and Kazmi, they haven't left yet, it won't be good if they find out." Nana Hashimoto reached out and pressed Chiya's hand on his lap, and broke free from his arms, and said to Chiya with a flushed face, "Don't you have something to say to me?" Let's talk about things first, and when Ichikuma-chan and Kazmi are gone, you can do whatever you want at night...... It's all right. Nana Hashimoto said, bowing her head shyly.

"It's not like you didn't do it when they were there, Nanamin, why are you so shy. But if you say that, I'll wait until the evening to eat you. Seeing this, Qianye also stopped what he was doing, although he still had a smile on his face, he still got down to business: "Actually, I called Nana Min to come here, it's about Jiujing and Qiu Yumaru." ”

"You're embarrassed to talk about that incident! If Mai hadn't helped distract Kazmi, she would have almost spotted us! Nana Hashimoto slapped Chiya's shoulder angrily, but her strength seemed to be coquettish. Despite this, after hearing Qianye mention Jiujing and Autumn Rain Pill, Nana Hashimoto still asked with some concern, "Nine Soul and Autumn Rain Pill?" Is there anything going on with them? ”

Qianye nodded and explained to Nanami Hashimoto, "Yes, maybe Kujin has already told you about this, she and Akiyu Maru were both members of the Hyakki Night Walk called the Snow Death Group five hundred years ago. Just like the Mai-like Nine-Tails Group, this Snow Death Group is also gathered under the command of a big youkai, but five hundred years ago, this big monster left inexplicably, causing the Snow Death Group, which dominated Kyoto at that time, to be scattered, and the members were scattered in all directions. ”

Qianye told the story of the Snow Death Group in an almost nostalgic tone, which made Nana Hashimoto feel strange and a little puzzled at the same time: "I heard Jiujing explain, she and Autumn Rain Pill are both members of the Snow Death Group, I know, but is there anything wrong with this?" Could it be that Qianye is talking about Jiujing and Autumn Rain Pill gathering some of their former companions? They told me about it when they were in Sanuki before, so it shouldn't matter, right? ”

"You can say that, but Jiujing and Autumn Rain Pill are not just some companions that they plan to gather, they are planning to reconvene the entire Snow Death Group and make them Nana Min, your Hundred Ghost Night Walker." Chiya's expression was a little strange, as if she was smiling and seemed to be remembering something, but Nana Hashimoto was not surprised to hear the purpose of Kujin and Akiyumaru summoning the old part of the Yuki-zumi group, so she didn't notice the strange expression on Chiya's face.

Nanami Hashimoto was puzzled about Ku Jing and Qiu Yu Maru's desire to convene the old department of the Yuki Death Group, although he had heard Jiu Jing mention it before, but Nanami Hashimoto was still puzzled by this: "Ku Jing once told me before that she and Qiu Yu Maru had some former companions who wanted to join me, and I also agreed to this matter. But I didn't think that the Nine Spirits were going to gather the entire Snow Death Group, is there anything wrong with this? If so, Chiya can handle this matter according to your ideas, and don't worry about my feelings. But you still don't have to embarrass Jiujing and Qiu Yumaru, they also want to help me. Although Nana Hashimoto didn't say anything about not caring about her feelings, her face still showed worry about Kujin and Akiyumaru, and she pleaded with Senya for them.

"Nanamin, you misunderstood, I didn't mean to deal with them." Qianye smiled dumbly, shook his head with a smile, and then reached out to stroke Nanami Hashimoto's cheek: "If they want to gather the hands of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk for you, I will only be happy, and I will not want to deal with them." The reason why I told Nana Min about this is because I want to hear Nan Min's opinion on this matter, and what arrangements you have for the old part of the Snow Death Group, after all, they are different from the youkai in the Mai-like Nine-Tails Group that I suppressed, and they have no bad deeds. ”

"My opinion? I don't know what to do, and I don't have the memories of Tamamo like Mai, and I know how to lead the Hyakki Night Walk. Nana Hashimoto didn't hear Chiya's question, and let go of her worries about Kujin and Akimaru, but she felt tricky about Chiya's question: "I only used to be the manager of the basketball club in high school, and I have no experience at all in how to lead an organization, especially a youkai organization like Hyakki Night Walk." Why don't you help me come up with an idea, you've lived for so long, you should have a better way to deal with this kind of thing, right? Nana Hashimoto said this, looking at Chiya with hope in her eyes.

Feeling the burning gaze of Nanami Hashimoto, even Chiya couldn't say anything to refuse, he thought for a while, and then asked Nanami Hashimoto: "Nanamin, what do you think the Night Walking of a Hundred Ghosts or a group of youkai subordinates means to you?" If you had such a group of subordinates, what would you like them to do for you? What is the idea you want to implement? Mai's Nine-Tails group occupies all of Tokyo, and her philosophy is that humans and youkai live in peace, so the Nine-Tails will maintain law and order in Tokyo and prevent youkai from causing chaos. So Nanamin, have you figured out what the first thing to do after you have your own Hyakki Night Walk? ”

"This ......" Nana Hashimoto frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head and said to Qianye: "Although Qianye you have mentioned to me before about forming a hundred ghost night walks, but in the first twenty years of my life, I was a pure human being, and I didn't think about this kind of thing at all. Even now, Jiujing and Akiyu Maru have become my subordinates, and they have to gather the members of the Hyakki Night Walk for me, I don't know how to arrange them, and what to do after having the Hyakki Night Walk. So Qianye you asked me what I was going to do, and I really didn't have an answer. ”

Looking at Nanami Hashimoto, who was full of sorrow, Qianye gently stroked her shoulder and comforted: "Nanamin, you don't have to worry like this, first of all, you have to understand one thing, the meaning of the existence of the Hundred Ghosts of the Great Youkai is to carry out the will of the Great Youkai himself." That is to say, what you want to do, what your Hyakki Night Walk will do, is what you want to do, not what you should do. If you don't have the answer, you can let them stay the status quo without having to think about what to ask them to do. ”

"Huh? Is that okay? Shouldn't I, as a big monster, command a hundred ghosts to go on a night tour to grab territory? Nana Hashimoto looked surprised, looked at Chiya with some curiosity, pouted and said: "Mai also told me that in the past, no matter what, the big youkai would take the Hyakki Night Walk to grab a piece of land, and then maintain their rule, and if other big monsters came to provoke, a war would break out between the two Hyakki Night Walkers." It's just because I don't want to fight with the Mai-like Nine-Tails that I don't know how to place my Hyakki Night Walk, so can I still let them stay like this? ”

Qianye smiled and nodded, affirming what Nanami Hashimoto said: "Naturally, it's okay, Nanamin, you still don't understand monsters, in the past, of course, there will be some big monsters who will be obsessed with grabbing territory and taking the hundred ghosts under their command to act recklessly, but there will also be some big monsters who choose to live a quiet life, rather than taking their own hundred ghosts to grab territory." ”

Speaking of this, Chiya looked at Nana Hashimoto's unmoved but somewhat worried look, and said to her with a smile: "Nanamin, you don't have to worry that the youkai of the Yukimi Group will not listen to you, or they will cause trouble everywhere. They were originally just a group of female youkai who were bullied by other youkai, and five hundred years ago, the big youkai couldn't bear to be bullied by other youkai, so they gathered them together and formed the Yukikai group. And it is precisely for this reason that I allowed them to entrench in Kyoto, otherwise, Nanamin, do you think that without my permission, any demon would dare to say that he dominates Kyoto? ”

"Huh! In that case, after the big monster left, didn't the Yuki-dying group return to the state of being bullied before? Wouldn't they be even more pitiful, didn't they hate the big monster who left suddenly? Nana Hashimoto didn't finish listening to Senya's explanation, but she no longer dwelled on her own problems, and instead paid attention to the future situation of the youkai of the Yuki-dyed group.

"If that's the case, how can Jiujing and Autumn Rain Pill still remember the friendship of five hundred years ago, and still be able to gather the old department of the Snow Death Group for you?" Qianye seemed to recall the great youkai who had been five hundred years old, and said with a tone of memory and admiration: "That great youkai was in Kyoto at that time to contain these bullied weak demon clans and female youkai, and most of them were incorporated into his own Hyakki Night Walk, and provided shelter for them. Not only that, but she also helped these bullied youkai regain their self-confidence and taught them how to survive in the human world, such as the Gion Chiyo that Nana Min you met in Kyoto, she was originally a peacock in Kyoto Gyoen, but she was hunted down by Onmyoliao because she became a youkai, and if it weren't for the protection of that big youkai, she would have died a long time ago. ”

"It turns out that Chiyo-sama still has such a past, so how did Chiyo-sama become a geisha?" Nana Hashimoto didn't hear Chiyo Gion mentioned the imposing Chiyo Giona she had seen, and she was immediately curious, she couldn't imagine what Chiyo Gion was like when she was weak, "And Qianye said that the big youkai sheltered a lot of weak youkai and incorporated most of them into his own Hyakki Night Walk, which means that the Yuki-dyed group is actually a female youkai?" ”

"Yes, the youkai that belong to the Yuki-dyed group are all female youkai, because in the past, the strength of female youkai was weaker than that of male youkai, so they were relatively more bullied. That big youkai is a snow girl like Nana Min, and because she is a woman, she sympathizes with these female youkai and deliberately gathers them to provide them with shelter. "Chiya introduces the past of the Yuki-dy-gumi, and what he tells also makes Nanami Hashimoto have a good impression of the big youkai in Chiya's mouth, and no matter when, it is worthy of respect to be able to shelter the weak.

"Huh! Is that big monster in the Snow Death Group the Snow Maiden? Nana Hashimoto suddenly remembered that the snow that Chiyo Gion gave to her was also something given to her by a snow girl, so she plucked the snow from her hair and asked Qianya, "Qianya, is this hairpin something from that big monster?" ”

Looking at the passing snow in Nanami Hashimoto's hand, she took it from Nanami Hashimoto with some nostalgia, and after rubbing it for a while, she inserted it back into Nanami Hashimoto's hair: "This is her most beloved thing, since Chiyo Gion has handed it over to you now, it proves that Nana Min you have an indissoluble bond with the snow passing group, you have to cherish it and don't bury it...... This knife. ”

"Qianye, why are you talking weirdly today?" Nanami Hashimoto suddenly wrinkled the tip of her nose and looked at Qianye with a puzzled expression: "Could it be that the big youkai of the Snow Death Group had something with you?" Or did she ever like you? Looking at Qianye's dodging eyes, the interested Nanami Hashimoto suddenly approached Qianya, and asked curiously: "What is the relationship between her and you?" Jiujing appeared in this Taisha before, which means that the big monster was actually entrusted to you by the Snow Death Group before leaving? Then why do you say they're gone? Tell me! ”

Looking at Nanami Hashimoto, who was close to him and asking questions, Qianye said helplessly with a wry smile on his face: "That's all in the past, there's nothing to say." At that time, it was only out of appreciation for the great youkai that I agreed to take care of the youkai who were willing to take refuge in my place, not what Nana Min thought. Qianye's explanation didn't dispel Nanami Hashimoto's doubts, but she didn't ask any more, but planned to go to the Nine Spirits and them to inquire about this matter later.
