Chapter 42: Amaterasu
"Call me Himiko, the name Amaterasu is just a stranger to you, right?" Yoshiko still looked at Chiya with a holy face, and the voice became a little playful.
"Whether it's Himiko or Amaterasu, in my opinion, you are you." Qianye didn't speak, but his words did.
While the voice of the self-proclaimed Himiko was talking to Chiya, the ritual continued, and it seemed that the conversation between the two did not interfere with the ceremony.
"Why are you here today, Himiko? For hundreds of years, when I performed this ceremony, you rarely appeared in front of me. "Senya seems to be a little strange about the arrival of Homicoko.
Himiko's voice chuckled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, I'm just here to visit an old friend." By the way, just like 400 years ago, some people want to resurrect Qingming. ”
Qianye nodded imperceptibly, the movements in his hands did not stop, and while continuing the ceremony, he talked to Himiko: "I guessed, someone has already started collecting raw livers." Unexpectedly, after 400 years, she still hasn't given up. ”
"After all, it's her son, a son who wants to see him again even if he falls into hell." Himiko's voice was full of emotion: "Will you kill her this time?" ”
Qianye's voice was a little hesitant: "I don't know, she is Qingming's mother after all, it's not necessary, I won't do it." But every few hundred years, I'm tired of it. ”
"Protecting the peace of the world is Qingming's greatest wish, and I'm sure he won't blame you." Himiko seems to be comforting Chiya: "Have you found a solution to the curse on your body?" It's a pity that I can't really come here, otherwise I can remove this curse for you. ”
"Don't worry, I already have a clue how to solve the curse." Chiya seems to have a plan for this.
"If you have a clue. When the time comes, I'll take my leave. Himiko said goodbye to Chiya: "I have left a divine power on the three feather arrows and Magatama, if necessary, just use it." I have received the wishes of these little girls, and I will bless them. ”
As Himiko's voice disappeared, the golden light that shrouded Yoshiko also dissipated, and she fell to the ground softly, as if she had consumed great physical strength.
Qianye clasped her hands on her chest, as if she was saying goodbye. When everything was done, Senya turned around and said to the members of Nogizaka 46, "The ceremony has been completed, and your prayers have been successfully conveyed to the gods. After saying that, he gave a salute to the members, and the members hurriedly returned the salute.
And at this time, Ruodie, who was standing aside, also helped Kako up, and Qianye looked at Kako, who was a little depressed, and said to her, "Thank you for your hard work, Kako." The ceremony went well and you did well. ”
Yoshiko seemed to be very happy with Chiya's praise, smiled and said, "It's an honor for Kako to be praised by Mr. Chiba!" I really didn't expect that the physical exertion would be so great, and I ask Mr. Chiba for forgiveness for the rudeness. ”
Qianye waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the Radiant Sun Ritual itself has a very big burden on the main priest, you can go back and have a good rest." ”
Yoshiko, who was supported by Wakadie, nodded a little weakly, and then said to Chiya as if she remembered something: "Mr. Chiba, I have two CDs of their debut singles, can you please ask Miss Hashimoto for their help in signing them?" Please, Mr. Chiba. ”
Qianye looked at Kako with some curiosity: "Two? Why don't you go and ask Miss Hashimoto yourself? ”
"Two CDs, one for Tomoka." Yoshiko smiled a little embarrassedly: "Tomoka is a good friend of mine, and she also likes Nogizaka 46." As for why I didn't go by myself, it was really inconvenient to ask Miss Hashimoto at this point. ”
Qianye nodded: "Then you can take the CD to Ruodie later, and after Miss Hashimoto and the others sign it, you can get it again." ”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Chiba." Yoshiko of Weidun gave a salute to Qianye with some difficulty, and even if she was physically exhausted, she still showed good etiquette.
At this time, next to the director, who was filming on the side, a man in a black suit appeared, and after he showed a copy of his ID to the director, the director seemed very surprised.
"Please cut out all the frontal shots of this shrine maiden, her identity can't appear on TV, please." Although the man in the black suit was begiving the director, his tone was more like an order.
When the director heard the man in the black suit say this, he just wanted to refute it, but then remembered the document, so he nodded unwillingly, saying that he would do it.
The two members of "Banana Man" saw the conversation between the man in the black suit and the director, and immediately confirmed their guess, and the two glanced at each other, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes. Not only was I shocked by Yoshiko's identity, but I was also shocked by the identity of the thousand nights that allowed Yoshiko to appear here.
The two who were shocked by Kako's identity finally chose to keep their mouths shut.
The members of Nogizaka 46 undoubtedly unloaded their burdens at this time, and after breathing a sigh of relief, they began to unload their armor in twos and threes. There are also a few members who seem to want to take advantage of this opportunity to take a good group photo, so they took out their mobile phones and posed to take a photo as much as they wanted.
Nanami Hashimoto was also with Mai Shiraishi at this time, holding the nagina knife in his hand in a handsome or funny pose, holding his mobile phone to shoot as much as he wanted.
And the agent also seemed to have a rare failure to restrain the behavior of the members at this time, allowing them to relax to their heart's content, after all, the three-day prayer ceremony made these members very hard. It's okay to relax properly.
Nishino Nanase also pulled his friend Takayama Ichimi to take a group photo at this time, compared to the shy Nishino Nanase, Takayama Ichimi's personality is more generous and likes to be funny, not only will make a grimace when taking pictures, but also pull out the sword on his waist, and pose a kendo posture, so that Nishino Nanase will take a picture for her. While responding to his friend's request, Nishino Nanase suddenly saw Qianya standing aside alone, and suddenly felt a little cautious in his heart, grabbed Takayama Ichimi, and said to her: "Kazmi, I want to take a photo with Chiya-san, can you accompany me to the past?" ”
The kind-hearted Takayama Ichimi naturally readily agreed to Nishino Nanase's request, and the two found Chiya together.
"That, Chiba-san, can we take a photo together? Nanasai wants to take a picture with you. Takayama said to Chiya, while Nishino Nanase lowered his head a little shyly and stood beside Takayama Ichimi.
Looking at Nanase Nishino, who was holding his mobile phone with his head down, Chiya naturally agreed to Takayama Kazumi's request to take a photo with Nanase Nishino.
Nanase Nishino grabbed Chiya's sleeve a little shyly, while Kazumi Takayama stood on the other side of Nanase Nishino and filmed the three of them with Nanase Nishino's mobile phone.
Nanase Nishino took the mobile phone handed over by Takayama Kazumi, looked at the group photo in the phone, and thanked Chiya with a red cheek: "Thank you, Chiya-san." ”
Qianye looked at Nanase Nishino, who was a little shy, and said to her with a smile: "Nanasai has time to come to the headquarters to play more, and I will definitely wait for the next place." ”
When Nanase Nishino heard Chiya's words, he nodded his little head very seriously, looking very solemn.
And Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi also noticed Chiya who was talking to Nanase Nishino at this time, and Nanami Hashimoto puffed out her cheeks angrily. And Mai Shiraishi, who saw this scene, immediately said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Look, if a man doesn't watch the prison, it's easy to steal food!" ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't hear Mai Shiraishi's words, her face became serious, and she looked at Nanase Nishino's shy appearance in front of Chiya, so she pulled Mai Shiraishi and walked towards Chiya.
"Qianye-san, what are you talking about?" Nana Hashimoto asked him in a delicate voice that a thousand nights had never heard.
Qianye looked up at Nanami Hashimoto, who had a little danger in her eyes, and Mai Shiraishi, who was a little unhappy on the side, smiled and said, "Nana Sai came to take a photo with me, why do you want to take a photo with Nana Min too?" ”
Nana Hashimoto glanced at Qianye, smiled and said, "Okay, I haven't taken a photo with you yet!" Mai, you can help us shoot it! As he spoke, he handed Mai Shiraishi the phone in his hand, walked over to Chiya and grabbed his arm.
Nanase Nishino saw Nanami Hashimoto holding Chiya's arm and removed the smile on his face.
—————————————————————
Mai Shiraishi dragged her tired body and walked towards her rented apartment with a salute.
The three-day recording of the prayer project made the members of Nogizaka 46 feel physically and mentally exhausted, and Mai Shiraishi felt that she was almost exhausted. Mai Shiraishi, who had planned to stay at this Taisha for another night, and Mai Shiraishi, who was enjoying the hot springs, found that only Nana Hashimoto had not chosen to stay at this Taisha shrine among the members, so she took the initiative to leave.
Nana Min actually wants to take the initiative to attack, it seems that Nana Sai has made her feel a sense of crisis! It's okay, so that Nanami can grasp her happiness. Do they do that kind of thing at night? Isn't it different to do that kind of thing with an onmyoji? Mai Shiraishi's blushing and heart-pounding reverie made her cheeks red.
Mai Shiraishi unconsciously touched the magatama on the necklace on her chest, but she didn't notice a faint golden light flickering on the magatama.
Just as Mai Shiraishi continued to walk home, a black figure appeared behind her and attacked her.
Mai Shiraishi, who heard a sound behind her, turned around, and while being startled by the black shadow coming at her, she raised her arm to defend herself, but was knocked to the ground after being scratched by an unknown weapon.
Just when Mai Shiraishi was desperate, an angry voice shouted, "Got you!" ”
In the darkness of the night, Mai Shiraishi only saw a knife light slashing towards the black shadow, and fainted.
