While Ikoma Rina was in a hurry to find Wakadie, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi were arguing about the topic just now.

"Look, you haven't solved a Nana Sai yet, and now there's another one Kuma, I'll see how you can keep an eye on your baby." Mai Shiraishi pouted and said to Nanami Hashimoto with an unhappy expression. It seems that he is afraid of being discovered by others, and Mai Shiraishi's voice is not loud.

Nana Hashimoto smiled bitterly and comforted Mai Shiraishi: "Okay, Mai." I'm not worried, what are you worried about? Nanasai's matter is not what you think, I will discuss this matter with Chiya, and you can put your heart back in your stomach. Saying that, Nana Hashimoto hugged Mai Shiraishi's shoulder, and the heads of the two people were pressed together and continued: "As for Ichikuma, don't say that she doesn't have this idea, even if she has this idea, do you think I can't compete with her?" ”

"Nanamin!" Mai Shiraishi dissatisfiedly elbowed Nanami Hashimoto's stomach. Nana Hashimoto covered her stomach, pretended to be in pain, leaned back against the wall of the dojo, and whispered, "Oops, Mai you beat me to internal injuries." ”

Mai Shiraishi suddenly looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who was pretending to be injured, and said, "Don't pretend, I'm worried about you!" Why aren't you in a hurry at all? ”

Nana Hashimoto looked at Mai Shiraishi's expression, she knew that Mai Shiraishi really cared about herself and hoped that she would be happy. Nanami Hashimoto, who was moved in her heart, hugged Mai Shiraishi's waist and put her cheek on Mai Shiraishi's back. Nana Hashimoto, who has a keen sense of smell and can identify its owner just by the smell on the clothes, smelled the smell of Mai Shiraishi's body, because of exercise, both of them have a lot of sweat stains on their bodies at the moment, and Nana Hashimoto, who was originally clean by nature, hates being held or hugged by others like this, but at the moment she just wants to hug Mai Shiraishi.

Feeling the strength of Nana Hashimoto's arms holding her waist, Mai Shiraishi couldn't help but ask, "Nanamin, what's wrong with you?" Why are you holding me so tightly? Don't you usually hate hugging you when others are sweating? ”

Because of her posture, Nanami Hashimoto's voice was a little muffled, and she whispered behind Mai Shiraishi and asked, "Mai, why are you so good to me?" ”

Mai Shiraishi replied a little inexplicably: "Of course it's because we're friends!" Nana Min what's wrong with you? ”

Nana Hashimoto was not moved by Mai Shiraishi's words for granted, she hugged Mai Shiraishi's waist tightly, her head resting on her back, and she couldn't help but think that Mai's body could make people feel at ease.

It was when Mai Shiraishi didn't know why, Nanami Hashimoto's voice sounded in her ears: "Mai, there are some things I can't tell you about Qianya, because that's the secret of Qianya." I can only tell you that the matter between Chiya and Nanasai is not as simple as you think, you don't have to worry about me, I will take care of it. ”

Listening to Nanami Hashimoto's words, Mai Shiraishi could only helplessly pat Nanami Hashimoto's hands holding her waist and said to her: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you, let's eat." After saying that, he pulled Nanami Hashimoto to stand up.

And Nanami Hashimoto didn't let go of the hand holding Mai Shiraishi, so he hugged Mai Shiraishi and walked towards the servant who brought lunch.

————————————————————

By the time they got the box containing their lunch, the members of Nogizaka 46 were already a little hungry.

Ikuta Erika held the small box in her hand, found a position she was satisfied with, and sat down, and couldn't wait to open the lid.

Inside the box are three rice balls kneaded into triangles, along with a small slice of pickled radish and pickled melon. Looking at the bland lunch in front of her, Ikuta Erika's small mouth pursed again. Said unhappily: "Mo, people want to eat barbecue and fried chicken!" ”

Hearing Ikuta's complaint, Takayama Ichimi, who was on the side, took out a small jar of salt and said to Ikuta Eika, "Ichikuta, don't complain." Fasting is like this, didn't Chiba Sang already say yesterday, before the end of the ceremony, we will cut off the five meats, and abstain from alcohol and meat. As he spoke, Takayama opened the small jar he had taken out and sprinkled salt on the rice balls in the box. After sprinkling, he handed the small jar in his hand to Nishino, who had just sat down on the side, and asked, "Nanasai, do you want to have some?" ”

Nanase Nishino shook his head with some disgust and said, "Kazmi, why do you like salt so much?" ”

Takayama picked up a rice ball sprinkled with salt, took a bite, chewed it with happiness on his face, swallowed it, and said, "Because the delicious salt is delicious." ”

Ikuta Erika and Nishino Nanase on the side glanced at each other helplessly, and were speechless about Takayama Ichimi's quirky salt hobby.

At this time, Mai Shiraishi and Nana Hashimoto, who were holding a box containing rice balls, walked past the three of them, Mai Shiraishi saw Nanase Nishino, and suddenly her eyes froze, and she wanted to say something, but Nanami Hashimoto grabbed Mai Shiraishi, shook her head at her, and pulled her away.

Mai Shiraishi, who was pulled away by Nana Hashimoto, turned her head and glared at Nanase Nishino a little unwillingly, Nanase Nishino shrank back with some cringe, but finally looked at Mai Shiraishi with stubborn eyes.

Takayama Ichimi, who was on the side, saw Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino looking at each other, and asked Nishino Nanase with some worry: "Nanasai, what's going on?" Have you offended Mai? ”

Nanase Nishino shook his head and said, "I'm fine, there may be a little misunderstanding between me and Mai, don't worry." ”

Takayama looked at Nanase Nishino with a reluctant smile on his face, and said with some anxiety: "Then can you handle it?" Be sure to let me know if you need help! ”

Feeling the concern of his friend, Nanase Nishino smiled and said to Takayama Ichimi, "I know, Kazmi. ”

Looking at Nanase Nishino, who didn't want to say more, Takayama shook his head helplessly. Although Nishino Nanase looks like a girl who is very shy and shy, Takayama knows that under Nishino Nanase's weak appearance, there is a stubborn and strong heart. What she doesn't want to say, no matter how much she asks, she won't have an answer. I can only support her silently.

Eating rice balls silently, Nanase Nishino knew why Mai Shiraishi was targeting herself. But in this matter, I will not back down no matter what. Thinking like this, Nanase Nishino nodded his little head, swallowed the rice balls in his mouth, and suddenly felt a hot gaze staring at him next to him.

Looking up, Nanase Nishino saw that Erika Ikuta, who had finished her portion of the rice balls, was staring longingly at the two remaining rice balls in the box in front of her. Nanase Nishino, who looked at Ikuta's eager eyes and found that the servants had not prepared extra rice balls, picked up the box and handed it to Ikuta.

Looking at the box that was handed to her, Erika Ikuta asked with some surprise, "Nanasai who are you?" ”

Nanase Nishino covered his mouth and smiled shyly and said, "It's enough for me to eat one, you haven't eaten enough in one Kuta, right?" I can't finish these two, so you can take them and eat them. ”

"Ahh Nana is the best! The excited Ikuta Erika took the rice balls handed over by Nanase Nishino, took out one of them, took a bite with gratitude, and said to Nanase Nishino with a happy face.

Nanase Nishino looked at Erika Ikuta with a happy face, and couldn't help but smile coquettishly: "Ichikuta, you will be happy every time you have something delicious." ”

Hearing Nishino Nanase's words, Ikuta Erika nodded happily while biting on the rice ball. For Ikuta Erika, nothing is more important than delicious food.

When Ikoma Rina finds Wakadie, she is serving a prepared lunch for Senya.

Looking at Rina Ikoma, who was standing at the door of the room at a loss, Chiya smiled and said to Wakadie, "Please come in Miss Ikoma and prepare a meal for her too." Wakadie nodded, turned and walked towards Rina Ikoma at the door.

Looking at Wakadie who walked in front of her, Ikoma Rina couldn't help but take a step back, bowed and said, "I'm sorry to disturb Miss Wakadie." Ruodie shook her head to indicate that it was okay, and said to Rina Ikoma, "Miss Ikoma, the master invites you to come in and dine together." ”

Rina Ikoma, who was a little nervous, hurriedly bowed and said, "Then excuse me." After speaking, he followed Ruodie with some restraint and walked into the room.

Qianye looked at Rina Ikoma, who was following Wakadie with a nervous face, and greeted her, "Miss Ikoma, please sit down, no need to be nervous." Rina Ikoma looked at Chiya with a gentle face in front of her, took a deep breath, calmed the tension in her heart, and sat down on the seat next to Chiya obediently.

Looking at Rina Ikoma, who had calmed down, Chiya asked her, "Miss Ikoma, I don't know where to come here, why do you have to do it?" ”

When Rina Ikoma heard Chiya's question, the nervousness that had just calmed down rose again, but she suppressed her nervousness and replied with some restraint, "Is it because last time I was in 'Where is Nogizaka?'" "Chiba-san, you said you want to teach the ancient swordsmanship. I told my grandfather about this, and he hoped that I could worship you as a teacher. ”

Chiya looked at Rina Ikoma undeniably, and suddenly asked, "Miss Ikoma, are you a descendant of Ikoma's kinmasa?" ”

Rina Ikoma nodded inexplicably when she heard Chiya's question, but still replied, "Yes, the main family was passed down after the grandson of Ikoma Kinmasa Takatoshi during the period of Koma Takatoshi, the grandson of Ikoma Kinmasa's ancestor, and lost the territory of Sanuki Province due to the incident of 'Ikoma Turmoil', and was posthumously released to Yuri-gun in Dewa Province. ”

While Rina Ikoma answered Senya's question, Wakadie also put a meal in front of Rina Ikoma.

Qianye nodded, looked at Ikoma Rina's worried appearance, and said in a deep voice, "Since you are a descendant of the Ikoma clan, you can naturally be regarded as a martial artist." So Miss Ikoma, how much do you know about Guliu swordsmanship? ”
