When Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi and Sayuri Matsumura left the shrine, a video was uploaded to the Internet.

This is a video taken with a mobile phone, and the footage is a little blurry, but you can still clearly see a man in hunting clothes playing the flute and two shrine maidens dancing in front of the main hall of a shrine. The video doesn't seem to have been recorded from scratch, but it doesn't detract from the beauty of the dance, and although the sound is a little inaudible, the melodious flute sound still enchants those who hear it.

The video went viral almost instantly, and sparked heated discussions. And all kinds of claims and discussions about this video have quickly become popular.

"This is Kagura Dance, right? How can there be such a beautiful dance!! ”

"These two shrine maidens are so beautiful!! I think I've seen it somewhere!! ”

"You're not making a movie, are you!! How could there be such a beautiful dance!! ”

"What kind of shrine is this!! There is such a powerful shrine maiden!! ”

"That flute-playing priest is so handsome!! Isn't this flute really a late soundtrack!! ”

All kinds of admiration filled the Internet, and after the last part of the video, the small animals appeared around the footage of the three people, and all the comments changed the style.

"It's open!!!"

"Coach, I also want to learn to play the flute!!!"

"It's a special effect! You can't fool me!! ”

"That little squirrel is giving pine cones to that girl, right? It's magical!! ”

"At the beginning, it was obviously two long-haired shrine maidens, but how did they end up with a short hair and a shawl! This one-click hairstyle change is terrifying!! ”

As Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi revealed their true faces, their identities as girl idols were also revealed. All of a sudden, the discussion about Nogizaka 46, Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi, and Kagura Dance videos became the biggest hot topic on the Internet.

And all this, Mai Shiraishi and Nana Hashimoto, who had just sent Sayuri Matsumura home, did not know anything. The two of them came to the lounge of Nogizaka 46 at Sony Music headquarters in a daze.

"Good morning! Nanamin! "Nogizaka 46, the youngest Saito Asuka, pounced on Nanami Hashimoto, and as the most sticky member of the team, Asuka Saito always likes to gather around Nanami Hashimoto.

"Good morning, Asuka." Nana Hashimoto was not a little tired and greeted Asuka Saito.

Asuka Saito looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who had a tired face, and Mai Shiraishi, who had the same expression, and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong with Nanamin?" Are you uncomfortable? ”

"Ahh No, it's just that I took Matsumura to the doctor with Mai yesterday and was a little tired. Nana Hashimoto explained with a reluctant smile at Asuka Saito.

Asuka Saito asked with a concerned face, "Then do you want to take a break?" Today's practice is still early, you can get some sleep first. ”

Nana Hashimoto touched Asuka Saito's little head with a doting look and said, "Thank you, but no need, I already slept when I came." ”

Asuka Saito narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and hugged Nanami Hashimoto.

And Mai Shiraishi on the side was also answering Mai Fukagawa's question: "Sha Yuri is fine, but she is still very weak, and Nanami and I have already sent her home." ”

Mai Fukagawa, who has always been known as a kind-hearted big sister among the members, asked with concern, "Are you okay with Mai?" I see that you and Nanami are both tired. ”

Mai Shiraishi hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I slept late last night, it's okay, just take a rest." ”

Obviously, both Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto know that no one would believe their experience last night even if they told others, and instead of being treated as a strange talk, it was better to simply hide it and act as if nothing happened.

However, what the two didn't expect was that what they tried to cover up had been spread on the Internet and became the focus of heated discussions.

Just as Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi were dealing with the members' inquiries with tired faces, a staff member walked in and said to the two: "Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi, please come out for a while." ”

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi did not doubt that he had him, got up from their seats and walked out of the lounge with the staff.

The staff led the two into a conference room, where Yoshio Konno, the president of Nogizaka 46 Contract Company, was browsing the pages on the laptop in front of him with a serious face, his brows furrowed.

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi pushed the door open: "Excuse me." ”

When Yoshio Konno saw the two coming in, he raised his head and said to the two, "Coming?" Sit. ”

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi pulled away the chair in front of Yoshio Konno and sat down. After sitting down, Nana Hashimoto didn't see Yoshio Konno frowning and looking at the computer, so he asked with some confusion: "Konno-san, I don't know what happened to suddenly calling me and Mai to come over?" ”

"It's nothing, I just want to ask, what did you two do last night?" Yoshio Konno heard Nanami Hashimoto's question, and finally raised his head, crossed his hands to support his chin and asked the two.

Mai Shiraishi and Nana Hashimoto, who were nervous in their hearts, did not look at each other, and both looked at Yoshio Konno nervously.

Seeing the eyes of the two of them, Yoshio Konno didn't explain, but just turned the computer around, pointed at the two, and asked them to read the content on it.

I saw a somewhat blurry video playing, but I could still see that it was the dance of Tianyu betrayed that Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi danced last night.

Looking at the constantly refreshing comments under the video, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Neither of them thought that what happened last night would be filmed and uploaded to the Internet.

Yoshio Konno asked with a somewhat gloomy face, "Don't you two explain?" ”

Nana Hashimoto glanced at Mai Shiraishi and took the initiative to say: "That's the case, Konno-san, you should remember the incident a few days ago when Sha Yuri suddenly had bulimia and ate up the whole group's bento, right?" Seeing Yoshio Konno nodding silently, Nana Hashimoto continued: "Mai and I have been looking for a way to help her treat her with Mai Xiang for the past two days, and we have been to many hospitals to no avail, and Mai and I wonder if Sha Yuri is possessed by some ghost, so I took her to some shrines in Tokyo yesterday to ask for help." ”

Hearing this, Yoshio Konno was slightly pale and asked, "Then how do you explain this video?" ”

Nana Hashimoto looked at Mai Shiraishi embarrassedly, and neither of them knew where to start. After exchanging glances for several rounds, Mai Shiraishi stubbornly spoke: "That's right, Konno-san, yesterday Nanamin and I went to many shrines and temples, but we were helpless about the situation of Sayuri, and finally we found the shrine on the video under the guidance of an old mage, and it was very late. The onmyoji of the shrine is the one on the video who helped Sayuri exorcise demons, and proposed to me and Nanami to dance in front of the gods as a reward for exorcism for Sayuri, and Nanami and I had no other way at that time, so what happened on the video. ”

Yoshio Konno listened to Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto's explanations, and the frowning brow that had been frowning finally relaxed. Looking at Nanami Hashimoto, who was full of nervousness, and Mai Shiraishi said: "I have already communicated with the producer Akimoto about this matter, and Akimoto-san means not to make an example." Operations have been emphasized many times that members are prohibited from taking on foreign affairs privately. Although your incident this time cannot be said to be a private foreign business, it has still caused some bad effects. It's also an unintentional mistake on your mind, so I won't pursue this operation. ”

Hearing this, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi hurriedly stood up and bowed to Yoshio Konno to express their gratitude.

Yoshio Konno waved his hand, motioned for the two to sit down first, and continued, "Listen to me finish. Although the operation of this incident will not be investigated, I hope that the two of you will still remember this incident and don't think that the operation will be fine if it is not investigated. ”

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi hurriedly agreed: "Please rest assured, Konno-san, we will not forget." ”

Yoshio Konno nodded undeniably and said: "Although this video has brought some trouble to our operation, it is also a good thing for the entire team of Nogizaka 46, at least because of the identity of the two of you as a member of the group, Nogizaka 46 has gained a lot of attention, especially now is the critical juncture for the promotion of the debut single." You might get some shows, and I hope you understand how to do that. ”

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi hurriedly nodded and said, "Konno-san, don't worry, we will do our best to promote Nogizaka and the new single." ”

Yoshio Konno finally nodded with satisfaction, turned the laptop on the table back in front of him, looked at the beautiful dance video on the screen, and exclaimed: "I really can't see that the two of you have such strong dance skills." This dance is very good, if only you had this performance in the single PV. By the way, in this video, the two of you suddenly change your hairstyles and these little animals, is this a computer special effect? ”

Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi glanced at each other, both of them with embarrassed looks on their faces. Unable to withstand Mai Shiraishi's earnest eyes, Nanami Hashimoto said with some embarrassment: "Konno-san, that's all the effect of yin and yang." ”

Yoshio Konno looked at Nanami Hashimoto with a look of surprise, and Nanami Hashimoto had no choice but to continue to explain: "The onmyoji who helped Sayuri exorcise the demon is a real onmyoji, and Mai and I watched him expel the hungry ghost attached to Sayuri's body, and also beat that hungry ghost into the Infernal Hell. As for the dance on the video and our instant change of hairstyle, it was all because he used the yin-yang technique to make Shikijin possess me and Mai-like, and the movements of the dance were actually done by Shikijin. As for those little animals, it's because the flute played by the onmyoji is so beautiful. ”

Yoshio Kono's expression of disbelief embarrassed Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, so he stood up and said, "Konno-san, if it's okay, let's go first." ”

Yoshio Konno waved his hand for the two to leave, looking at the video on his laptop with an expression of disbelief, not knowing what he was thinking.
