Although I know from Senya that the demons are about to return and the news that the demon chaos of the Heian period will reappear, these news are just news for Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino, and even Mai Shiraishi, who is in charge of the Nine-Tails Group, can do nothing about this matter. Therefore, after knowing the reason why Qianye left the concert scene halfway, although the three of them were also worried about the end of the thousand-year no-war covenant, they also let go of the worries in their hearts.

After letting go of the worries about Chiya, the tiredness of rushing back to Tokyo from the Makuhari International Museum in Chiba City quickly invaded the three of them, making Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino, who were already tired from the concert, suddenly become depressed. Looking at the three of them who were sleepy, after Qianye waited for the three of them to eat some snacks and fill their stomachs, he said to the three of them: "Nanamin, I see that the three of you are very tired, why don't you go to a hot spring and have a good rest." ”

Nana Hashimoto and the three of them realized that they rushed back to the Taisha directly after the concert, and they didn't have time to clean the sweat stains on their bodies. Smelling the heavy smell of sweat on his body, Nana Hashimoto, who usually likes to be clean, blushed with shame, and ran towards the renovated hot spring bath of Senya with Mai Shiraishi. And Nishino Nanase threw a strange look at Chiya before following Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi and walking towards the hot spring bath.

After Senya renovated the underground dojo, one of the walls was demolished and the enclosed hot spring bath was turned into a semi-open-air hot spring pool. Behind the demolished walls, the scenery becomes very pleasant because it connects to the illusion of "here". Leaning on the edge of the hot spring pool, looking at the tranquil lake in front of you and the endless bamboo sea, listening to the murmuring sound of the hot spring pool water and the rustle of bamboo leaves in the distance, under the effect of the hot spring pool water medicinal bath, you can quickly wash away the fatigue of the body.

Nana Hashimoto, who was holding a small bathtub, couldn't wait to jump into the newly decorated hot spring pool and sit on the cobblestone by the pool after quickly washing her body. The specially selected cobblestones are very round and flat, and the surface is not smooth, which prevents falls and does not damage the skin due to the rough surface. And the specially adjusted depression makes Nana Hashimoto lean on it very relaxed, comfortable and comfortable.

"Ahh Great, the hot springs are so comfortable! Mai Shiraishi also sat relaxed next to Nanami Hashimoto, and after stretching her body wantonly, Mai Shiraishi also leaned her back against the stone by the hot spring pool, allowing herself to relax completely: "Sure enough, the hot spring here is still comfortable, and every time you soak in the hot spring here, you can completely relax the whole person!" ”

** Wearing a pendant around his neck, even if he didn't take off in a hot spring, Nana Hashimoto looked at Mai Shiraishi next to him and asked her: "Mai, why did you think of giving me this pendant on my birthday?" Do you want me to become a youkai like you? ”

Hearing Nanami Hashimoto's question, Mai Shiraishi looked at her eyes seriously, and her tone was full of seriousness: "Nanamin, I don't want to be the same as I am now, and you have become an old woman, with gray hair and lost teeth. I don't want to be a hundred years from now, except for hanging on to your photo and tombstone, I will never be able to hear your voice or see your appearance again! Whether it's ten years, or a hundred years, or a thousand years, I hope Nanami will be by my side like you are today. ”

"So, even if I become a youkai?" There seems to be no day or night in the "here" that connects to the hot spring bath, and even though it is late at night, the scenery in front of the hot spring pool is still a lake and mountains. Nanami Hashimoto looked at the calm lake and the green bamboo sea in the distance, pillowed his head on the stone, and said in a calm tone that could not hear sadness and joy: "Although I know that Mai Xiang you have always been good for me, but I hope Mai Xiang you don't do these things for me." You've done so much for me, and it makes me ......"

"Nanamin, if you still think I am your good friend, don't say these things, okay?" Mai Shiraishi straightened up and grabbed Nanami Hashimoto's wrist to stop her next words: "Except for Qianya, Nana Min, you are the most important person to me!" No, in my heart, you are more important to me than a thousand nights, I really can't bear the pain of losing you, even if I want to, I don't want to think about it. The thought of Nanamin that you will be born, old, sick and die and leave me feels as uncomfortable as a broken heart. Nanamin, no matter what happens, promise me that you will never leave me alone, okay? ”

Nanami Hashimoto looked at Mai Shiraishi with a smile on the corner of her mouth, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "You said so about Mai, can I still refuse you?" You've given me this pendant, do I have a choice? Are you going to tie me to you for the rest of your life? ”

"Isn't it good to be together for the rest of your life?" Mai Shiraishi put her arms around Nanami Hashimoto's neck and rested her head on her shoulder: "Or do you want to be with me Nanamin?" ”

Nana Hashimoto raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, but there was a hint of sadness in this smile: "But Mai, your unreserved dedication to me like this will make me feel a lot of pressure." A thousand years is a long time, and I'm afraid I'll get used to what you're giving and hurt you in the end. You are my cherished family, and I don't want to hurt you in the end because of your efforts. Friendship is an emotion that needs both of us to maintain and pay together, if it is just a sackcloth like you pay alone, in the end this friendship will not last. So, Mai, can you not do so much for me in the future, and try to rely on me and let me pay for you too, okay? ”

Mai Shiraishi listened to Nanami Hashimoto's words, and there was a crystal teardrop rolling in her eyes, but she smiled brightly and put her finger against Nanami Hashimoto's jaw: "Since Nanamin said so, then I can only reluctantly agree to you." If you want to pay for me, start with your lips! Saying that, Mai Shiraishi kissed her lips in Nana Hashimoto's surprised gaze, and successfully made Nanase Nishino, who was standing behind the two, so frightened that the towel in his hand fell to the ground.

It wasn't until the air in her lungs ran out that Mai Shiraishi reluctantly left Nanami Hashimoto's lips, even so, Mai Shiraishi was still greedy for the taste between Nanami's lips and wanted to kiss again.

"Mai-like!" Nanami Hashimoto had a hint of shyness on her face, but more of anger: "How can you stick your tongue in my mouth!" ”

"I'm sorry, who made Nanamin's little mouth so sweet!" Mai Shiraishi had a wicked smile on her face, hugging Nanami Hashimoto, smiling like a fox stealing chickens.

Looking at the two who were tired of being together, Nanase Nishino picked up the towel a little embarrassed, and after hesitating for a while, he still sat next to the two.

"Nanasai you're here!" The arrival of Nanase Nishino, while Nana Hashimoto was not pardoned, also made Mai Shiraishi regretfully withdraw the hand that was reaching out to Nanami Hashimoto's chest, pursed her lips and leaned against the stone with some pity.

"Have you heard about the second phase of life? I heard that the audition is over! Nana Hashimoto, who breathed a sigh of relief, found a topic in order to resolve the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere that the three of them saw. But looking at Mai Shiraishi's pursed lips, Nana Hashimoto held her hand after hesitating for a moment, making Mai Shiraishi's face suddenly cloudy and clear, and her smile brightened.

"I've heard that, it's amazing!" Nanase Nishino also saw the awkwardness of the atmosphere between the three of them just now, so he responded to the topic of Nanami Hashimoto: "I didn't expect that Yoshiko would really come to participate in the audition!" Listening to the STAFF-san who was present at the time, when Yoshiko introduced herself, Yasu-san Akimoto was a little frightened. ”

"It's inevitable to be scared, that's Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Nana Hashimoto was frightened when she didn't hear Nanase Nishino say that Yasu Akimoto was frightened, and suddenly became a little embarrassed to hide her smile: "Prince Fumihito is too, he was really moved by Qianye's words and agreed to Yoshiko to participate in the audition, and when it was revealed, it was going to cause a sensation." ”

"Rice people are probably still guessing what 'Akasaka まであと 70 days' means!" Mai Shiraishi grabbed Nanami Hashimoto's hand under the water, her face was full of smiles, I don't know if it was for Kako's participation in the audition, or because she grabbed Nanami Hashimoto's hand and smiled: "The second generation is going to get much more attention than us this time!" A true princess! I actually came to be an idol, and when I heard Nanamin say it, I thought it was a joke! At the mention of this, Mai Shiraishi's tone still couldn't hide her surprise.

"But this kind of attention may not be a good thing for the second generation students!" A hint of worry appeared on Nanami Hashimoto's face: "Kako's identity is too dazzling, if she is allowed to stand in the center of the team, the light of others will be overshadowed by her." But her identity determines that the operation is unwilling to put her outside the selection team, and it is even difficult to be outside the god of fortune. Having such a dazzling presence among his companions is really not good news for the second generation of students. Saying this, Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but start worrying about the second student.

Mai Shiraishi was also a little worried, so she said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Nana Namin, should we wait for Yoshiko to come and talk to her about it?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Nana Hashimoto nodded to Mai Shiraishi: "I really need to talk to Kako, as a princess, her identity can not only bring attention and topics to Nogizaka, but also cause some bad effects." We talked to her in advance, and we should have avoided some problems. ”
