Chapter 146: Hundred Ghosts Night Walk: Knot

Halloween was originally a traditional holiday of the Catholic Church (resist piracy, please support the genuine version), mainly popular in Europe, North America, Australia and other places. Halloween, on the other hand, refers to the eve of Halloween, which is October 31 every year. On this night, the children put on make-up costumes and masks and went from house to house to mischievously ask for candy.

Because the last day of October is considered by the people of the British Isles to be the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, it is supposed to be a festival to celebrate autumn and wish for a harvest, but because it is also considered by Westerners to be the most haunted night of the year, this night is also known as "Halloween", people used to wear masks and light bonfires and jack-o-lanterns to ward off ghosts, but this custom has evolved into a carnival festival that puts on grimaces and wears strange costumes, and tells ghost stories to scare each other.

In the past, the concept of Halloween in Japan was limited to the introduction of materials, and the reason why Halloween became popular in Japan is that Tokyo Disney cannot but be mentioned. On October 31, 1997, Tokyo Disneyland debuted the Halloween Parade, which was well received. As a result, for several years in a row, Disney has integrated the Halloween Parade into the entire Disney Parade on October 31 every year. This continued until October 31, 2002, when Tokyo Disney sparked a craze among Disney fans by recruiting a group of Halloween fans to wear makeup costumes and participate in a Disney parade to interact with full-time actors. Halloween began to quickly become popular in Japan, and the Halloween costume parade show was truly recognized by Disney fans. Since then, Disney has been raising its standards and holding a large-scale Halloween-themed parade every year, and Halloween has gradually become popular among the Japanese.

Nanase Nishino, who originally planned to participate in Disney's Halloween-themed parade this year, had already prepared makeup clothes, but after receiving invitations from Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto, she decisively chose to participate in the Hyakki Night Walk they prepared. After all, parading with real yokai is far more fun than parading with humans dressed as youkai.

Nishino Nanase was packing up his things while looking at Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto, who were also packing up their things. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, thinking of the night walk of the hundred ghosts that was about to start tonight, they couldn't help but feel a little excited, and the movements in their hands were a little faster.

And Akimoto Masatsu on the side looked at Nishino Nanase who was packing up her things, and some wanted to talk to her, but she was suffering from Nishino Nanase's rejection of her before, and she didn't dare to step forward. Just when Akimoto Manatsu hesitated, Takayama Ichimi, who had already packed his things, walked up to Nanase Nishino while banging on his lower back, and asked her, "Na-chan, where are you going to play tonight?" Why don't you go to Disney's Halloween parade together? ”

"No, thank you for your kindness, Kazmi." Nanase Nishino grinned at Takayama and declined her invitation, explaining to her, "I'm going to participate in the Hyakki Night Walk tonight with Nana Min and Mai. ”

"Hyakki Night Walk? Na-chan, what do you want to do? It can't really be that youkai are found.,It's going to be a hundred ghosts night walk, right? Takayama covered his mouth and chuckled, when he was not smiling, he was quite similar to the famous idol Yamaguchi Momoe, and Takayama Ikmi himself was working hard to become Yamaguchi Momoe in the Heisei era. But Takayama Kazumi's smiling personality and her expression will collapse when she laughs, so that Takayama Ichimi, who originally planned to take the temperament idol route, has now become the funny person of Nogizaka 46.

Nanase Nishino looked at Takayama Ichimi, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looked at her with wide eyes, and said, "Kazmi, how did you know that our plan was to use real youkai to carry out the night walk of a hundred ghosts?" Could it be that Nanami still has Mai like to tell you? ”

"Huh? Are you really going to do that? Takayama Ichimi looked at Nishino Nanase in surprise, obviously frightened by the idea that she and Nana Hashimoto still had Mai Shiraishi, she was originally just joking when she heard the name of Hyakki Night Walk, but she didn't expect that Nishino Nanase and they really planned to use youkai to form Hyakki Night Walk.

"Yes, Mai and Nanamin borrowed a lot of youkai from Senya-san, and they want to do a hundred ghosts tonight. The plan was to start from Kaminarimon Gate in Asakusa and circle the Sumida River before returning to the Taisha Shrine. Nanase Nishino explained the plans for the evening to Takayama and sent her an invitation: "Kazmi, do you want to come and play together at night?" You should be fine at night, right? Let's play together, this kind of scene is rare to see. ”

"But what will I be dressed up in if I go? You're looking for a real monster to come to the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk.,If I'm dressed as an ordinary person.,It's too much of an eyesore to be mixed in.。 Takayama was quite moved by Nishino Nanase's invitation, but thinking that he had not prepared anything, Takayama was a little hesitant in his heart.

"It's okay, Kazmi, you can dress up as a samurai! Senya-san has the right gear there, I saw it last time. Nanase Nishino looked at the hesitant Takayama Ichimi, smiled and comforted her friend, dispelling her concerns.

"Those are real youkai, right? Is it really okay for you to use real monsters to engage in a hundred ghost night walks? If someone were to go along, would they eat people or something? Although Takayama wanted to agree to Nishino Nanase's invitation, he was still a little hesitant in his heart.

At this time, Nana Hashimoto came over holding Mai Shiraishi's hand, and they heard what Takayama Isami said to Nishino Nanase just now, and they also planned to invite Takayama Ichimi to participate in the night walk of the hundred ghosts. So Nanami Hashimoto said to Takayama Ichimi, "Don't worry, Kazmi. We've looked for Senya-san beforehand, and he'll restrain the behavior of these monsters. For Takayama Ichimi, Nanami Hashimoto obviously won't tell her the truth directly that these monsters have been subdued by Mai Shiraishi.

Mai Shiraishi also interjected, "And we have contacted the police from the countermeasures office of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in advance, and we have already greeted them." If something happens, they'll deal with it in a timely manner. Because of the reason for recording the program "Nogizaka Onmyoryo" together, Takayama Ichimi, along with Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino, is known as the "exorcism quartet" of Nogizaka 46. For this reason, Mai Shiraishi still very much wanted to invite Takayama Ichimi to participate in the night walk of the hundred ghosts.

Seeing that Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto both persuaded themselves, Takayama Kazumi hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and agreed to their invitation.

Seeing that Takayama agreed to participate in the night walk of the hundred ghosts, Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto both laughed, and Nanase Nishino even took Takayama Ichimi's hand, lay on her shoulder and said to her: "Kazmi, let me tell you, tonight Senya-san also invited the seniors in the entertainment industry to participate in this night trip of the hundred ghosts." Like Kyoko Fukada-san, Yuki Amami-san, and Hitomi-san Kuroki all said they would come! And Senya-san also invited Nomura Mansai-san, who played the great onmyoji Abe Harumi in the movie "Onmyoji"! ”

"Really? How could these seniors accept the invitation? Takayama exclaimed, covering his mouth, apparently surprised that these famous artists would accept the invitation.

"Of course it's true." Nana Hashimoto was surprised that Takayama Ichimi would come to participate in the Hyakki Night Walk at night, so she explained, "Senya-san knows a lot of people in the entertainment industry and has a good relationship with them. Before, thanks to Chiya-san's blessing, he introduced Hitomi-san Kuroki as my acting teacher, so after inviting them, everyone who had time said that they would come over to participate in tonight's Hyakki Night Walk. ”

"Oh, that's great! I also wanted to ask Kyoko-san Fukada for an autograph, but I forgot the last time I saw her. After listening to Nanami Hashimoto's explanation, Takayama said happily.

Akimoto Masatsu looked at the happy Nanase Nishino and the other three, with a look of envy on his face, wanting to join their discussion. But when she wanted to walk to Nanase Nishino, seeing Nanase Nishino's indifferent gaze, Manatsu Akimoto stopped again.

Nana Hashimoto looked at Akimoto Masatsu who was hesitant, and then looked at Nanase Nishino, who was facing her indifferently next to her, glanced at Mai Shiraishi, and motioned for her to invite Masha Akimoto to participate in the night walk of the hundred ghosts, and then pulled Nanase Nishino's sleeve and said to her: "Nanasai, don't you already mind the matter of the last selection?" Why are you still angry with Zhenxia? They are all members of a group, so the Cold War is not good. ”

Nanase Nishino looked at Mai Shiraishi, who was inviting Mai Akimoto, and Maynata Akimoto, who had a surprised smile on her face after being invited by Mai Shiraishi, and after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Although I don't mind the selection anymore, I still can't accept her." I don't mind if you invite her to the night walk of the Hyakki, but I really don't want to have any contact with her right now. ”

Nana Hashimoto looked at Nanase Nishino and sighed helplessly. Takayama Ichimi on the side also looked at Nishino Nanase helplessly, and wanted to persuade her but didn't know where to start, although she didn't like Akimoto Manatsu who got the position of the god of fortune without making any contribution to the group, but she still didn't want Nishino Nanase and Akimoto Maxia to have such a cold war. After all, as a team, a cold war between members can easily undermine the unity of the whole. Maybe when Akimoto Masha proves herself and contributes to the entire Nogizaka 46, everyone will be able to accept her without any worries.
