Nana Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, who was a little weak, did not stay overnight at the Taisha Shrine, but took advantage of the fact that it was still early and walked to the subway station to take the subway home.

In this Taisha area, Chiya put the small red scimitar back into the wooden box, put the seal on it, and put it on the table. Ruodie filled the wine glass for Qianye and knelt behind him.

"It seems that Qingming and I still underestimated Yuzao in the end, and we deserve to be one of the three major monsters, so we didn't die so easily." Qianye picked up the wine glass and couldn't help but admire.

Ruodie asked a little puzzled, "What does the master mean by saying that?" Isn't Tamamo dead yet? Thinking of the strength of Tamamo in front of Tamamo in the battle of Nasuno, Ruodie's face also changed a little.

"Nine-tailed demon fox, fox gives birth to nine tails, nine tails and nine lives, if the butterfly is so easy to die in front of Yuzao?" Qianye's eyes were a little fluttering, and after drinking all the wine in the cup, he put down the wine glass, and said with an awe-inspiring look in his eyes: "By splitting the soul to cut out the pure obsession, the deeper the obsession, the stronger the power, no wonder Tamamo became so powerful during the battle of Nasuno." ”

"Master, are you saying that during the Battle of Nasuno, the reason why Miss Tamamo was so powerful was because she split her soul?" Ruodie listened to Qianye's words and asked thoughtfully.

"Ruodie, do you know what a demon is?" Qianye didn't answer Ruodie's question, but asked Ruodie rhetorically.

Ruodie shook her head: "Ruodie doesn't understand, but when I was in Chang'an, I heard Master Xuanzang mention that there are two kinds of demons, one is the inner demon and the other is the outer demon." Inner demons refer to the demons in the bodies of all living beings. As in the hearts of people, all kinds of troubles arise. Outer demons refer to the demons outside the bodies of all living beings. and other external persecutions, all of which are external demons. ”

Qianye smiled, shook his head, seemed to disdain Xuanzang's words, and poured a full wine glass for himself and said: "Although Xuanzang has profound Buddhism, he still hasn't seen through it, the Demon Buddha is a thought, one thought can become a Buddha, and the same thought can become a demon." Becoming a demon and becoming a Buddha are all caused by the obsession in people's hearts, good thoughts become Buddhas, evil thoughts become demons, and the demon Buddha is one. ”

"Why did the master suddenly talk about this?" Ruodie didn't quite understand why Qianya talked about the Demon and Buddha from Tamamo: "Does this have anything to do with Tamamo's strength in the Battle of Nasuno?" ”

"Because during the battle of Nasuno, Tamamo was ...... in front of her" A sneer appeared on the corner of Qianye's mouth, and he paused before saying, "I've become a demon." ”

"Become a demon?" Ruodie seemed to be shocked by Qianye's words, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Master, are you saying that Miss Yuzao at that time was no longer a demon but a demon?" ”

Qianye turned his head, glanced at Ruodie who exclaimed in surprise, and laughed: "How many years have I not seen Ruodie, you look surprised?" I usually look at you indifferently, and I thought you wouldn't be surprised. ”

"Master!" Ruodiejiao snorted, and then continued to ask, "Aren't you talking about Miss Yuzao and becoming a demon?" ”

Seeing that Ruodie was coquettish, Qianye shook her head and stopped laughing, and continued: "Originally, I couldn't understand why Tamamo was so strong during the Battle of Nasuno, but after I saw the remnant soul left in Tamamo today, I understood why Tamamo was so strong that I needed to pay such a price when I joined forces with Harumi. She splits all her distracting thoughts by splitting her soul, leaving only the purest obsession, and once she becomes a demon, she will be strong to that extent. ”

Ruodie listened to Qianye's explanation, frowned and asked with some skepticism, "Can obsession really make people so powerful?" It may be possible to get a powerful power, but it is a little unbelievable that it is strong enough to be so strong that Tamamo Mae was in the battle of Nasuno. ”

Qianye listened to Ruodie's question, but just smiled and didn't answer.

——————————————————

Time flies, and with the question "Where's Nogizaka?" The broadcast of the Prayer Project on the title group, and the fact that Mai Shiraishi and Nana Hashimoto did not promote it on several regular groups, made the name of Nogizaka 46 quickly become known. The heated discussions on the Internet and the many topics about the onmyojutsu made Nogizaka 46, the formula opponent of AKB48, suddenly seem to be worthy of the name. Nogizaka 46's operation will naturally not miss such a great opportunity, and the chocolate advertisements and many promotional resources under the famous food brand Meiji Seika have made Nogizaka 46's debut single become a hot seller all of a sudden.

"Do you know what the first week of our debut single was?" Reika Sakurai, who was fanning the wind with her hand, wiped the sweat from the training on her forehead and asked the members who were resting on the side.

Mahiro Kawamura on the side gasped, calmed his rapid breathing caused by the intense dance, thought for a moment and replied, "It should be able to break through 130,000, right?" I've heard from staff that the first day sales were close to 100,000 copies. Although idol groups are all 'one discount the next day', there are 130,000 photos a week. Nogizaka 46 seems to be relatively popular recently, so it should bring some sales. ”

"130,000 copies...... Reika Sakurai's tone was a little complicated: "Although it is already a great sales, compared to the first million sales of AKB San, we only have one-tenth of it." ”

Hearing Reika Sakurai's words, the members suddenly became a little depressed. Yes, compared to AKB48, which can sell millions of copies on the first day and tops the public trust list, the sales of Nogizaka 46, the so-called formula opponent, are really a little unmatched.

"AKB-san! Sure enough, we still can't compare with them, right? I don't know who whispered it, and this sentence made the members even more depressed.

"No!" Rina Ikoma suddenly stood up and shouted as she looked at the depressed members of Nogizaka 46, "Aren't we working hard to become an opponent of AKB48-san?" If we give up trying because our opponents are too strong, then how can we succeed! ”

"One Kuma ......"

"Ichikuma-chan!" Rina Ikoma's words caused the members to raise their heads one after another, looking at this girl with neat short hair, who looked more like a boy than a girl.

Ikoma Rina is not tall and has immature shoulders, but at this time it seems to be carrying the entire Nogizaka 46, and Rina Ikoma standing in front of the members is like a banner at the moment, constantly boosting the morale of the members.

"We are Nogizaka, ascending saka!" Rina Ikoma's voice was not loud, but it carried a determined force: "As long as we are firm in our goals, keep moving forward, and go up and improve every step, one day we can truly become the opponent of AKB48-san, or even surpass them!" In order to achieve this goal, how can we lose our fighting spirit here! ”

Rina Ikoma's words hit everyone's hearts hard, yes, didn't we just come together to become idols in order to surpass AKB48? If we back down when we see how powerful AKB48 is, what are all our previous efforts for? All the members asked themselves this question in their hearts, and their eyes gradually became firm.

"Ichikuma-chan is amazing!" Reika Sakurai looked at Rina Ikoma, who had inspired the members, and exclaimed, "Everyone's morale has been boosted by you!" ”

In the face of Sakurai Reika's praise, Rina Ikoma, who was still very imposing just now, instantly became shy, scratched the back of her head, and laughed a little shyly.

Everyone laughed when they looked at the shy Rina Ikoma, and for a while, the pressure brought about by the strength of AKB48 dissipated, but the members all had a firm belief in their hearts, that is, they must make Nogizaka 46 a team worthy of the title of AKB48 formula opponent.

The members who had strengthened their beliefs quickly ended their rest and devoted themselves to training more seriously than before. The individual members who originally had a little to deal with were also cheered up at the moment, and they put twelve points of enthusiasm into serious practice. At this moment, all the members of Nogizaka 46 are working hard to surpass the goal of AKB48.

The members who trained seriously didn't even notice when Toshiryo Muramatsu, the representative director of Sony Music Records, appeared in the practice room.

Looking at the members who were training seriously, Toshiryo Muramatsu nodded with satisfaction, obviously taking the members' efforts in his eyes. Although Sony Music is a fairly humane company, even if the members are not popular, they will not be abandoned by the operation, but if the members themselves do not work hard, the operation will not invest resources in such members.

Toshiryo Muramatsu watched the training of the members for a while, clapped his palms, and interrupted the training of the members. Seeing that all the members were focused on themselves, Muramatsu Toshiryo spoke, "Sorry to disturb everyone's training." Delay you for a few minutes, here's a message for you. ”

"What? What's the news? Muramatsu Toshiliang's words smoothly attracted the attention of the members, and they all asked with concern.

After waving his hand to signal the members to be quiet, Toshiryo Muramatsu said, "Our Nogizaka 46, the results of the first week's sales of the first single CD have come out. ”

Hearing Muramatsu Toshiryo mention the sales of singles, the members' eyes lit up, and they looked at Muramatsu Toshiliang with excitement, and some people whispered to the members next to them: "How many will there be?" ”

"More than 100,000 of them!" "There should be 120,000!" "I think there are 130,000 of them!" Many members are also excitedly guessing the answer.

Muramatsu Junliang didn't sell it, and shouted loudly: "Nogizaka 46's first single "ぐるぐるカーテン" The first week sales of the public trust list are - 155,821 pieces! Congratulations! Sales exceeded 150,000 in the first week! ”

When the members heard the number, they immediately cheered. Many members held the hands of the members around them and jumped together. Nanami Hashimoto was even hugged by Mai Shiraishi and was excited.

Looking at the excited members, the staff on the side and Toshiryo Muramatsu couldn't help but applaud.
