"I'm sorry to interrupt your meal, but I still have something to explain." Senya watched as the members of Nogizaka 46 turned their eyes on him, and continued, "Starting tomorrow, you will officially begin the prayer ceremony. The prayer ceremony at the shrine is different from other places, so from tomorrow morning, you will have to follow the rules of the ceremony. I believe that Ruodie has already told you about these ritual norms in the afternoon, so I won't repeat them here. ”

When the members of Nogizaka 46 heard Chiya say this, they all nodded affirmatively, indicating that they had understood the norms of the ceremony.

"Then I would like to warn you that the purpose of the fast, which begins tomorrow morning, is to cleanse your body and mind and show your devotion to the gods. Therefore, I would like to ask you to cut off the five meats and abstain from alcohol and meat from tomorrow. Your three meals a day tomorrow, if the butterfly will make arrangements, as long as you can do not eat out, it will be fine. Speaking of this, Qianye paused, glanced at the agent and program director standing aside, and continued: "It's just that the staff may be tired, from tomorrow until the end of the ceremony, please refrain from entering the premises of the shrine for any outside food, so as not to be disrespectful to the gods." In addition, anyone who has drunk alcohol is not allowed to set foot in the main shrine during the ceremony, so please be careful. ”

The program director and agent on the side hurriedly and solemnly said to Qianye: "Chiba-san, please rest assured, we will never violate it." ”

Seeing the solemn appearance of the two, Qianye nodded and didn't say anything. After looking back at the members, he continued, "Because the ceremony requires the collection of four kinds of sacrifices, in order to save time, the members need to divide into four groups to collect the sacrifices. In addition, the ceremony requires you to perform the Naginata Dance as a dance in front of the gods. ”

Hearing the need for a dance in front of the gods, the members were a little overwhelmed, and after looking at each other, everyone turned their eyes to Nanami Hashimoto, who was most familiar with Senya. Nana Hashimoto, who was watched by the members, had to put down his chopsticks and said to Chiya: "That, Chiya-san, we haven't learned the Naginagi Knife Dance, how are we going to perform this?" Is it still the same as the last time I was with Mai, performing with Shikigami? ”

Qianye shook his head and said, "Last time, it was just an ordinary dance in front of the gods, so I can use Shikigami to manipulate Miss Hashimoto and Miss Shiraishi to complete the dance." But this time, in order to show respect for the gods, you must do it yourself. So this time, you will have to learn the naginata dance required for the ceremony in half a day tomorrow afternoon. ”

"Only half a day?" Yuki Himura on the side asked with a surprised expression.

Qianye nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning, you still need to copy the ritual texts required for the ceremony, so I only have half a day tomorrow afternoon for you to learn and practice the Naginagi Dance." And tomorrow evening, you will have a cleansing ceremony to cleanse your body. So I don't have extra time for everyone to practice, so please forgive me. ”

Seeing that the members were all embarrassed, Shiraku said on the side, "Everyone is an idol, right?" Isn't dancing your job? It's not hard for you to learn a dance in half a day, right? ”

Hearing Shiraku say this, the members looked at each other and nodded reluctantly.

Seeing that the members were so unmotivated, Himura Yuki said loudly on the side, "You're idols, aren't you?" What's your slogan? You're motivated, aren't you? ”

Hearing Yuki Himura's words, Rina Ikoma stood up and shouted loudly, "We will do it because we are Nogizaka 46!" Then she looked at the members again and shouted to them, "Everyone, our slogan is!" ”

As if infected by Rina Ikoma's momentum, all the members looked at each other and their eyes became firm. They shouted together, "Effort, thanks, smiles, we are Nogizaka Kamiyuki-no-saka!" ”

Looking at the amazing Rina Ikoma and the members who were driven by her, Chiya smiled and nodded and said, "Very good, since you are so confident, then wait and see." ”

With Qianye's words, although the dinner party continued, the members could no longer focus on the food in front of them. After the members said goodbye to Qianye after a hasty dinner, they returned to the room in twos and threes.

And after the members said goodbye, Nanase Nishino, who had deliberately stayed, walked up to Senya, bowed to him and said, "I'm sorry, Chiya-san." I fell asleep in the tea room this afternoon, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Looking at Nanase Nishino, who lowered his head in front of him, the Thousand Nights Ghost reached out his hand, touched her little head and said, "It's okay, just pay attention next time." ”

Feeling the hand placed on top of his head, Nanase Nishino raised his head, covered his lips with his hand and smiled shyly.

——————————————————

Mai Shiraishi, who was originally going to apologize to Chiya for the incident at noon, stood behind the door, looking at Nanase Nishino, who was shy and laughing at Chiya's head, with a somewhat inexplicable look in her eyes. For some reason, she didn't tell Nanami Hashimoto about it, but she was leaning against the corner of the room alone, thinking about the appearance of the thousand nights she saw today, thinking about it, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Nana Hashimoto, who had been soaking in the hot springs, was not wearing a yukata and was wiping her hair as she walked towards the room. When she walked to the door of the room, she happened to see Chiya walking with Nanase Nishino, and Nanase Nishino, who was walking behind Chiya, seemed to be smiling very happily.

A trace of bad association flashed in his heart, and Nana Hashimoto greeted him and greeted the two: "Thousand nights-san, Nana Sai!" What are you? ”

Seeing Nanami Hashimoto standing in front of him, a trace of panic flashed on Nanase Nishino's face, and he lowered his head and said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Nanamin, why are you here?" I just went to Senya-san and apologized to him for falling asleep in the tearoom in the afternoon. ”

"So how did you come together?" A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Nanami Hashimoto's eyes, looking at Nanase Nishino with his head down and Chiya with a smile on his face on the side.

Seeming to feel Nanami Hashimoto's dissatisfaction, Nanase Nishino hurriedly said, "Nanamin, don't get me wrong, I just chatted with Senya-san for a few words, and we have nothing." Nanase Nishino shook his hand while looking at Nanami Hashimoto carefully, and finally added in a whisper: "Don't be too careful." ”

Looking at the dissatisfied Hashimoto Nanawei, Qianye stood in front of her and said to Nanase Nishino: "Nanasai, you go and go about your own business first, I have something to say to Nanamin." ”

Nanase Nishino nodded, opened the door to the room in embarrassment, escaped and closed the door.

Nana Hashimoto looked at Chiya angrily, with dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Qianye looked at Nanami Hashimoto with some urgency, and whispered in her ear, "You're jealous." ”

Nana Hashimoto didn't raise her hand and clenched her fist and was about to hit Chiya, but he held it firmly. Nana Hashimoto didn't struggle for a moment, but she didn't break free of Chiya's wrist, so she said angrily: "Let go of me, don't touch me if you can't love me." ”

Chiya grabbed Nanami Hashimoto's wrist, pulled her into his arms, and said close to her ear: "Nana Min looks good when she is angry, and she looks jealous too." ”

Nana Hashimoto didn't use her other hand to prop up Chiya's chest, trying to push him away, but she was tightly hugged by Chiya in her arms. Nana Hashimoto, who was afraid of being discovered, could only say in shame: "Let go, I'm going to be seen." ”

Qianye didn't let go of Nanami Hashimoto, but said in her ear: "Then if you are jealous in front of Nanasai, aren't you afraid that she will see it?" ”

Nana Hashimoto glanced at Qianye and said, "Nanasai is not a talkative person, she won't talk nonsense." And you didn't see it when I did? Nanasai's expression was clearly like you. After saying that, Nana Hashimoto was not dissatisfied and stepped on Chiya's feet with her heels.

Qianye suddenly pretended to be in pain, revealing a painful expression. Seeing Qianye's painful face, Nanami Hashimoto suddenly asked with concern, "Did it hurt you?" ”

Chiya looked at Nana Hashimoto's unconcerned look, stared into her eyes and said, "Nanamin, no matter what you do to me, all I can feel is sweetness." ”

Nana Hashimoto looked at Chiya angrily, turned his head and said, "Then you are still like Nanasai." ”

Qianye held Nanami Hashimoto's hand and said to her, "I'm just chatting with her, Nana Sai She has a good impression of me because of the influence of Tamako's memory, Nana Min, don't be careful." ”

Nanami Hashimoto finally reluctantly let go of his dissatisfaction, looked at Qianye, and said to him: "Don't take it as an example!" Don't get too close to Nana Sai in the future, I know no! ”

Qianye looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who had a little woman's face, nodded dotingly and said, "Got it, Hashimoto-sama." ”

Nana Hashimoto gently hammered Chiya's shoulder with her hand and said, "Don't call me that!" ”

Qianye hugged Nanami Hashimoto and coaxed her with a gentle face: "Okay, don't be angry." Nanamin, you don't know, I only have you in my heart. ”

Nana Hashimoto leaned her head on Chiya's shoulder and said helplessly: "I know, but as soon as I think of the matter between you and Tamako, I ......"

Chiya didn't say anything, just hugged Nanami Hashimoto tightly in his arms.

Just when the two of them were warm, the door of Nanami Hashimoto's room was suddenly opened, Mai Shiraishi with a smile on her face poked her head out, and saw Qianya holding Nanami Hashimoto, her face suddenly lost her smile, and her eyes were staring at Nanami Hashimoto who was being held in her arms by Qianye, and there seemed to be a fire burning her heart in the bottom of her heart. So Mai Shiraishi pretended to shout loudly, but she was very careful to keep her voice to the lowest and said, "You two don't let go yet, you want to be seen!" ”

Hearing Mai Shiraishi's voice, Nana Hashimoto hurriedly broke free from the arms of a thousand nights, looking at Mai Shiraishi with an expressionless face, Nana Hashimoto was shocked, and couldn't help but think, should Mai look like you?
