Chapter 53: The Embarrassment of Hashimoto and Shiraishi

Mai Fukagawa looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who was a little absent-minded, sat down beside her, and asked with concern, "Nanamin, are you okay?" Why do you seem to have something on your mind these days? ”

The careful Mai Fukagawa found that since the last time Nana Hashimoto went to pick up Mai Shiraishi and was discharged from the hospital, she has been preoccupied, and she often wanders when she practices. At first, Mai Fukagawa thought that Nanami Hashimoto was just a little tired because of the promotion of the single, but when Mai Fukagawa saw Mai Shiraishi always wanting to talk to Nana Hashimoto with an attitude of wanting to speak, and Nanami Hashimoto always avoided her, Mai Fukagawa knew that there must be a problem between these two people.

"Huh? Mai Mai, I'm fine. Nana Hashimoto was in a trance for a moment, and after coming back to her senses, she dealt with Mai Fukagawa a little perfunctorily: "It's just that I haven't slept well recently." ”

Mai Fukagawa looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who did have dark circles under her eyes, shook her head and said helplessly: "Nanamin, if there is a problem, we have to solve it." When you drag like this, you are torturing yourself and sackcloth. ”

"Mai Mai, what are you talking about? What can I do with Mai, we have a good relationship. Don't worry about it, I really just didn't sleep well. Nana Hashimoto did not hide it stiffly, she and Mai Shiraishi had indeed become awkward since that night. Although Mai Shiraishi wanted to resolve this embarrassment, Nana Hashimoto, who didn't know how to deal with it, had no choice but to avoid it.

For Qianye, Nana Hashimoto has long regarded him as his boyfriend, and the relationship between the two is only the last step. However, the curse on Qianye's body is an insurmountable obstacle between the two.

Originally, Nanami Hashimoto should be happy that she had found a solution to the problem, but if this method meant sharing her boyfriend with her good friend, Nanami Hashimoto couldn't laugh. When facing Mai Shiraishi, Nana Hashimoto didn't know what to say, let alone how to deal with this matter.

Originally, Mai Shiraishi would not have embarrassed the two of them if she refused Tamamo's request, but for some reason, Mai Shiraishi agreed to Tamamo's request and was willing to lift the curse for Qianye, which put the relationship between the two into an extremely embarrassing situation.

Mai Fukagawa looked at Nana Hashimoto's hard mouth, sighed, and persuaded in a serious voice: "Nanamin, escaping can't solve the problem." Is there anything you can't sit down and talk about? If you drag it out like this, you won't be able to solve the problem. ”

Listening to Mai Fukagawa's words, Nana Hashimoto buried her head between her knees, not knowing what to say. After hesitating for a while, Nana Hashimoto raised her head to look at Mai Fukagawa and asked her: "Mai Mai, if you have something that you like very much and are very reluctant to share with others, but this thing is locked up, and you have to be a good friend of yours to open this lock, and the price is that you have to share this thing with your good friend, what will you do?" ”

Mai Fukagawa stared at Nanami Hashimoto and looked at her deeply, with a hint of clarity in her eyes. After thinking for a while, he replied, "Then it depends on how much you like this thing, if you really like it to the point that you can't add anything to it, even if you share it with others, you have to have this thing, then instead of sharing it with others, it's better to share it with your good friends, right?" ”

Mai Fukagawa's words made Nanami Hashimoto fall into deep thought. She thought about it carefully, as if she had made up her mind: "Is this so?" Mai Mai, you are right. This matter really can't be solved if it drags on, and I really should still face it. As he spoke, he seemed to have put down some burden, and looked at Mai Fukagawa with a smile: "Thank you, Mai Mai." ”

Mai Fukagawa was relieved to see that Nana Hashimoto had not figured it out: "Thank you, Nanamin, we live in the same room for friendship, no need to thank for this little thing." ”

Remembering the time when he first joined Nogizaka 46, because the dormitory was not built, when the members were all living in the hotel, and Mai Fukagawa had lived together in the same room for more than a month, Nanami Hashimoto also showed a nostalgic expression on his face, and asked Mai Fukagawa: "Maimai, do you still send Kawago to school every morning?" ”

Mai Fukagawa nodded: "That's right, I'm not worried that Kawago goes to school alone, and I happened to drop by, so I sent her to school." ”

"Mai Mai, you are really kind, no wonder Queen Sichuan now calls you Our Lady." Nanami Hashimoto, who let go of her burden, smiled and joked with Mai Fukagawa.

In the face of Nanami Hashimoto's jokes, Mai Fukagawa was not angry, and said to Nanami Hashimoto with a smile: "Nana Namin, have you been illuminated by the light of the Virgin?" As he spoke, he smiled and leaned his face closer to Nanami Hashimoto.

"When the light shines, when the light comes, they are almost blinded by your brilliance." Faced with Mai Fukagawa's funnyness, Nanami Hashimoto responded to her with a smile, and the two fought for a while, and Nanami Hashimoto's mood also became better.

"Thank you, Mai Mai." The gratitude to Mai Fukagawa welled up in her heart, and Nana Hashimoto sincerely said thank you to Mai Fukagawa.

Mai Fukagawa looked at Nanami Hashimoto with a smile on her face, obviously more satisfied that Nanami Hashimoto finally looked away: "Nana Namin, you can find a time to talk to Mai, no matter what problems you have, sit down and talk about it to solve the problem." ”

While Nanami Hashimoto nodded, she also looked at Mai Shiraishi, who was looking at her. The meeting of the eyes of the two made both of them a little embarrassed on their faces, but looking at Mai Shiraishi's hopeful appearance, Nanami Hashimoto finally did not avoid her gaze, which made Mai Shiraishi finally smile on her face.

————————————————————

When Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto were resolving the embarrassment between the two, in the Taisha here, Senya was entertaining guests.

"Harunobu Dogomon, I've seen Lord Chiba." Although a young man was wearing a suit, he still saluted to Qianye according to the ancient etiquette.

Qianye looked at the young man in front of him, remembering that he couldn't remember that this was the first descendant of Abe Harumi he had seen, and couldn't help but sigh at the changes in the world.

The Tsuchigomon family, that is, the descendants of the great onmyoji Abe Harumi. By the time of Abe Harumi's 19th grandson Abe, the Abe family received strong support from the Tokugawa shogunate and was given the title of Tsuchiomon, so the Abe family changed their surname to Tsuchigomon and established Tsuchigomon Shinto.

After the Meiji Restoration, the new government not only deprived the Tugomon family of their monopoly on making "calendars", but also abolished the Onmyodo. Fortunately, there are many side branches led by the Tsuchigomon family, and they secretly formed the "Tugomon Shinto Association". In 1952, according to the draft constitution for freedom of religion drafted by General MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the U.S. forces in Japan, Tsuchiomon Shinto became an official religious corporation, and the legacy of Onmyodo has survived to this day under the name of "Shinto Family Studies".

Tsuchigomon Harunobu is the contemporary heir of the Tsuchigomon family and a descendant of Abe Harumi.

"Is there no one in the Tsuchigomon family? Send a young brat like you to take care of this? Qianye thought about taking the school exam, and asked in a deliberately unkind tone.

Facing the unkind tone of Qianya, Tsuchigomon Harunobu replied without humility or arrogance: "Although I am young, I am also the next head of the Tsuchigomon family, so the Tuyumen family does not have any disrespect for Chiba-sama in terms of identity. Harumun hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering his words: "If Chiba-sama is referring to strength, then there is really nothing to say in the bottom." Since the abolition of Onmyodo by the government in the Meiji era, Onmyodo has been declining, and although the Tsuchigomon Shinto Association is still struggling to maintain its lineage, it is true that there are no more decent Onmyoji. In addition to the war that year, all the inheritance of yin and yang arts in the whole of Japan was completely cut off. Now if you want to find another Onmyoji who satisfies Lord Thousand Nights, it is indeed impossible to do it. ”

Hearing the words of Harumin Tsuchimon, Qianye seemed to be enraged, and said with a sneer: "Why, does the Tsuchigomon family still think that I did a mistake by cutting off all the Yin-Yang Sect inheritances in the whole of Japan back then?" With Qianye's words, a huge momentum was released from Qianye's body, pressing towards the earth Yumen Harunobu, making him sink his shoulders and stumble to the ground.

Harunobu Tsuchigomon, who was barely supporting his body with his arms, hurriedly shouted in a panic: "Lord Chiba, forgive me, the Tsuchigomon family has no such disrespectful thoughts!" "Under the pressure of the huge momentum of the thousand nights, it is extremely difficult for Tsuchiomen Harunobu to say this.

Hearing what the Tsuchigomon Harunobu said, Qianye's momentum slowed down, allowing the Tsuchigomon Harunobu to speak normally and then asked, "Then what did the Tsuchiyomon family send you here for?" There was a demon fox rebellion in Tokyo, hunting raw livers, and guarding the seal of the feathered fox, the Tugomon family actually sent you as an ordinary person with no cultivation, are you demonstrating to me? ”

Although he thinks that he really lacks talent in Yin-Yang Arts, he is not an ordinary person without cultivation, and he is already a good hand among the younger generation of the Tuyumen family. But in the face of Qianye's momentum of wanting to press himself to the floor, Tuyumen Harunobu could only say extremely aggrievedly: "Lord Chiba, the Tuyumen family has guarded the feather-clothed fox seal for generations, and they dare not leave their posts for a moment. The family also abides by the agreement of one master and one apprentice back then, and does not dare to teach the Yin-Yang Technique without authorization, so it can only send ordinary people like me who understand the Yin-Yang Technique to meet Chiba-sama, but there is absolutely no disrespectful thought. ”

After listening to Tuyumen Harunobu's explanation, Qianye's face turned slightly pale, and he retracted his momentum, looking at the Tuyumen Harunobu who was like the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Qianye waited for him to catch his breath and asked, "How is the situation with the feathered fox seal?" Why is there a demon fox in Tokyo that collects raw livers for feathered foxes? ”
