Chapter Eighty-Four: Wisteria Blossoms

In mid-April, it is time for wisteria to bloom.

The weather in Tokyo has warmed up, and you don't feel cold even if you wear light clothing.

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi finished their day's work, and left the Sony Music headquarters building with brisk steps, but instead of taking the car, they walked along Nogizaka towards the main shrine.

Walking slowly all the way, Mai Shiraishi held Nanami Hashimoto's arm, with an intimate expression. If it weren't for the fact that Nana Hashimoto was also wearing women's clothes, and her beautiful face made people know that they were girls at a glance, the posture of the two looked like a couple in love.

Mai Shiraishi affectionately held Nanami Hashimoto's arm, almost holding her arm into her arms, and said to Nanami Hashimoto as she walked: "Nanamin, you have been working hard recently, and the teachers in the vocal class today said that you have made great progress in singing." ”

Hearing Mai Shiraishi's bearing, Nanami Hashimoto's face was indifferent: "It's okay, it's just that the teacher taught it well." The teacher in Nanami Hashimoto's mouth was obviously not the vocal teacher who often taught them. Although the teacher is also a professional and rigorous person, in the face of all 33 members of Nogizaka 46, it is impossible for the teacher to provide one-on-one professional tutoring to everyone, no matter how strict the teacher is.

"That's also Nanamin's own hard work, I see you practicing every day!" Mai Shiraishi, who has been living with Nanami Hashimoto for some time, clearly knows something about Nanami Hashimoto's life. Although it is difficult to get out of bed in the morning, Nanami Hashimoto uses her free time to practice vocal vocalization every day, which is one of the reasons why her singing skills have improved a lot recently.

Nanami Hashimoto smiled and said, "That's the teacher's requirement, and you must stick to breathing and vocal exercises every day." Because I didn't have vocal training before, I had to practice hard to make up for it. ”

Nanawei Hashimoto's words made Mai Shiraishi a little puzzled: "The teacher's request? But the teacher of the vocal class just let us practice in private, and didn't say that we were required to practice every day, right? ”

"It's the vocal teacher that Qianye asked Miss Ruodie to find for me in private." Nana Hashimoto didn't explain to Mai Shiraishi, and at the same time couldn't help but remember that she hadn't seen Ruodie recently, and even Sakai Izumi was asking herself in vocal class, so she said to Mai Shiraishi: "Speaking of which, what is Miss Ruodie busy with?" Why haven't I seen her for so long. ”

"I don't know, but the last time I ate, didn't Qianye-kun say that Miss Ruodie was on vacation? She also said that when the wisteria roses bloom, someone will take over her work, and it should be a period of time when she won't see Miss Ruodie. Mai Shiraishi remembered what Senya had said during the last meal, and answered Nanami Hashimoto's question.

"I don't know who will take over Miss Ruodie's work, she has been with Qianye for a thousand years." Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but worry about Wakadie's successor: "Speaking of which, Miss Wakadie is the Shikijin of Qianya, will her successor also be the other Shikigami of Qianya?" ”

Hearing Nana Hashimoto say this, Mai Shiraishi thought for a while and nodded, "It is very likely that Qianye-kun is an onmyoji who has lived for a thousand years after all, and it is normal to have a few Shikijin around him." Saying that, Mai Shiraishi said to Nanami Hashimoto with a sly look in her eyes: "Otherwise, when you enjoy the flowers at night, Nanamin, you can ask him." ”

"Why didn't you ask Mai yourself?" Nana Hashimoto glanced at Mai Shiraishi angrily, and then asked with some concern: "What is the relationship between Mai and Qianya?" Feel like you're scared of him? ”

Speaking of this topic, the smile on Mai Shiraishi's face froze for a moment, but she quickly adjusted, pretending to be casual and waving her hand to Nanami Hashimoto and said, "No, Nanamin, you must have read it wrong, how could I be afraid of Qianye-kun." You must have read it wrong, you must have read it wrong. ”

Looking at Mai Shiraishi's panicked appearance, Nanami Hashimoto sighed and said, "Do you have to hide Mai's appearance in front of me?" I'm like Mai, and you're getting along day and night now, so how can I not see what little moves you have. The last time I saw Qianye, although you covered it up well, I could still tell that Mai was afraid of him. Is it because of what happened last time, Qianye was too rough and made you have a shadow in your heart? After saying that, Nanami Hashimoto looked at Mai Shiraishi and smiled.

"Nanamin! You laugh at me again! Your schadenfreude is really the worst! Mai Shiraishi pushed Nana Hashimoto for a moment, but soon looked lonely: "Although Qianye didn't say anything about the last time, no matter what, it was me and Miss Ruodie who were calculating him." Although Qianye didn't mind and gave me the same white as Nanamin, I was still a little afraid to face him. ”

Nana Hashimoto didn't hear Mai Shiraishi say this, and I didn't know what to say, what happened last time, although it had faded away on the surface, but whether it was Nana Hashimoto or Qianye, or Mai Shiraishi, there was more or less mustard in the bottom of my heart.

"In that case, Mai, you might as well find a chance to talk to Qianye." Nana Hashimoto didn't think about it for a while, and could only comfort Mai Shiraishi: "Qianye is not the kind of person who will hold grudges, Mai, as long as you apologize to him, he shouldn't take it to heart." ”

"Well, okay, I'll find a time to talk openly and honestly with Qianye-kun once." Mai Shiraishi nodded, and took Nanami Hashimoto's hand and stepped into the torii gate of the Taisha here.

———————————————————

In the courtyard of the shrine, a large mat is spread on the ground, and after a layer of felt is spread on it, there is also a piece of white fur that is not just an animal, and it feels extremely soft when you step on it barefoot.

In the corner of the courtyard, a tall wisteria rose blooming, with thick branches, clinging to the flower stand, and the branches meander. Bouquets of lilac flowers fall from the branches, like a waterfall of a tree, splashing flowers.

Qianye was holding a crystal wine glass with wine, lying on her side on the white fur, and her expression was already a little drunk. Beside Chiya sat a glass bottle with a thin neck and a big belly, which contained a ruby-like liquor.

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi sat sideways beside Chiya, quietly admiring the blossoms of the tree with him.

"Wisteria hangs on cloud trees, flowers and vines are suitable for spring and yang, dense leaves are hidden singing birds, and fragrant and beautiful women." Qianye, who was holding a wine glass and drinking heartily, chanted poetry in Chinese, and his expression was indescribably dashing.

Nana Hashimoto didn't pick up the glass bottle, poured some more wine for Qianya, and asked him, "Qianya, are you happy today?" ”

Qianye smiled leisurely and looked at Nanami Hashimoto, and said slightly drunk: "Why am I unhappy when I enjoy the flowers at night, accompanied by beautiful wine and beautiful women?" ”

Nana Hashimoto looked at Qianya, who seemed to be a little reckless in front of him, thought for a moment and said, "Qianye, why did you remember to invite me to come over to enjoy the flowers today?" As he spoke, he moved his body towards Qianye, getting closer to him.

The tip of Qianye's nose smelled a wisp of fragrance, and even he couldn't tell whether it was the floral fragrance of wisteria or the daughter fragrance of Nanami Hashimoto. The intoxicating aroma and intoxicating wine made Qianya, who was already a little drunk and not drunk, seem to be completely intoxicated, and he simply pillowed his head on Nanami Hashimoto's knees, looked at Nanami Hashimoto, whose cheeks were a little crimson because of his movements, and said to her: "Enjoying flowers at night is originally an elegant thing." Where is the reason for the excitement? Nanamin, don't you like it? ”

Nana Hashimoto looked at the drunkenness of the thousand nights in his arms and the flourishing wisteria flowers on the top of his head, and his eyes were also a little confused. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Nana Hashimoto didn't snatch the wine glass in Chiya's hand, poured the red wine in the cup into his mouth, swallowed half of it, and suddenly lowered his head and kissed Chiya's lips, and passed the wine in his mouth.

Chiya felt Nanami Hashimoto's movements, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, but between her lips and teeth, she chased Nanami Hashimoto's lilac tongue, wantonly sucking the luscious taste. The lips of the two were glued together for a long time, and it was not until Nana Hashimoto was out of breath that she broke free from Qianye, and her face was flushed and she gasped.

"Nanamin, you're so bold, this isn't like your usual you." Qianye looked up at Nana Hashimoto's delicate face, pointed to Mai Shiraishi, who seemed to dare not look at Mai Shiraishi with her head down but couldn't help but peek, and laughed at her, who was already a little ashamed: "You look at Mai so ashamed that I don't dare to look at you." ”

Nana Hashimoto didn't look at the apprentice on the side, but his eyes were confused, and he said to Qianye seriously: "So, Qianye, do you like me like this?" ”

Qianye's fingers ran through the tips of Nanami Hashimoto's hair, caressed her cheeks, and after kissing Nanami Hashimoto's lips again, he looked at Nanami Hashimoto's eyes seriously and said: "Whether it is the charming Nanami Hashimoto or the innocent Nanami Hashimoto, you are the Nanami Hashimoto I like." Whatever you become, I love it. ”

After Qianye finished speaking, he changed his position, pillowed on Nanami Hashimoto's soft thighs, looked at the flourishing wisteria roses above his head, and suddenly said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Nanamin, do you like this wisteria rose?" ”

Nana Hashimoto, who was still a little emotional because of Qianye's love words, stroked Qianye's forehead, and also raised his head to look at the wisteria flowers blooming above his head, and said in a somewhat confused tone: "As long as you like Qianye, I like everything." ”

"So you like her?" The corners of Qianye's mouth brought a hint of a smile, and her eyes radiated with brilliance, as if she was expecting something.

"She? Qianye, are you using a feminine pronoun to call this wisteria flower? Nana Hashimoto didn't have some doubts, but at this time, she didn't delve into it: "Of course I like such a beautiful wisteria rose!" ”

"Honey worm, she says she likes you!" Chiya seems to be talking to this wisteria rose.

Nana Hashimoto listened to the words in Chiya's mouth, and at the same time was puzzled, because of this somewhat familiar name, her expression moved, and she looked up.

I saw that this already extremely prosperous wisteria flower suddenly seemed to bloom more gorgeously, a gust of night wind blew, between the shaking bouquets, a girl wearing a gorgeous light purple twelve singles, like a fairy fell from the wisteria flowers in the sky, landed on the white fur in front of Qianye, bowed respectfully to the ground, and after making a big salute to him, he raised his head and said respectfully: "The honey worm has seen Mr. Xuanyi." ”
