Inside the office, the members of the "Banana Man" and Nogizaka 46 looked at Senya with a disgusted expression, because after all, as the owner of a shrine, it was very strange to feel troubled when someone came to pray.

Seeing that everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions, Qianye stopped selling Guan Zi and said directly: "The prayer ceremony of the Taisha here is called the Ceremony of the Radiant Sun. First, the person who makes the prayer must fast and bathe to cleanse the body and mind as a sign of piety, and then undergo a purification ritual by the chief priest to ward off evil spirits. Next, the supplicant must gather the four sacrifices with his own hands, make offerings to the gods, and then perform dances in front of the gods. What is required here is not an ordinary kagura dance, but a naginata dance. After the dance is completed in front of the gods, the chief priest burns the ritual to inform the gods, and the entire prayer process is completed. ”

Hearing such a complicated ritual, the Banana Man and the members of Nogizaka 46 understood why the recording of a prayer ceremony in Tokyo was arranged for three days in advance, which they thought was strange at first, but now that they heard Chiya say this, they felt that there was not enough time.

At this time, Shiraku asked Qianye about his own question, "What about Chiba-san, what are the four kinds of sacrifices that you just mentioned to be collected by the supplicants themselves?" ”

Knowing that there would definitely be such a question, Chiya explained unhurriedly: "The four kinds of offerings are the cypress wood used to build the Ise Jingu in the shrine forest of Ise Jingu, the cherry blossom branches in full bloom in the mountain high god and the cherry blossoms in the mountain high gods, the pure snow closest to the sky at the top of Mt. Fuji, and the comfort stone of Mount Obiyama closest to the country of Yellow Springs. Of these four offerings, the cypress wood of Jinguyashi has been used for thousands of years to build Ise Jingu, and it can be said to be the most sacred wood that can be found in Japan. And the summit of Mt. Fuji, which is closest to the sky in Japan, is also regarded as the purest snow there. The blossoming branches of the cherry blossoms of the mountain god and the spirit stone of Mount Oshiyama represent the beginning and end of life, respectively. ”

Even Nanami Hashimoto, who had already listened to Qianye's explanation once, listened carefully to Qianye's explanation at the moment, sighing at the complexity and tediousness of the ceremony. When the other members heard that they were going to collect the four sacrifices with their own hands, all of them had bad expressions on their faces. None of the members could have imagined that a prayer ceremony would require traveling all over Japan to gather the sacrifices needed for the ceremony.

Mai Shiraishi covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Isn't it, do you want to run all over Japan?" ”

Qianye said with a disgusted face: "That's why I feel troublesome in the future, if it's not necessary, there's really no need to hold this ceremony." Speaking of this, Qianye suddenly changed his serious expression and looked at the members of Nogizaka 46: "So you want to do it?" ”

When Shiraku and Himura Yuki heard Chiya say this kind of fixed words, they immediately understood what Chiya meant, so Shiraku coaxed aside: "Give up, such a troublesome prayer, let's find a random shrine in Tokyo to pray." Nogi Shrine, not far from here, is a good place, but it used to be done before dark. ”

Himura Yuki retorted on the side: "How come Chiba-san is a real onmyoji, since the ceremony is so complicated, the effect should be first-class, right?" Didn't you say that you should pray with all your heart? If you give up like this, you won't be able to convey your thoughts to the gods. ”

Coaxed by the two hosts together, the members of Nogizaka 46 suddenly fell into a dilemma. Although Nanami Hashimoto knew in advance that the operation had decided to pray for the big sale of the single at this Taisha shrine, only the members hesitated at this time to bring the variety show effect of the show, so Nanami Hashimoto did not stand up and say that he wanted to make a wish, but like the members around him, he had a hesitant and contradictory expression.

After a depressing silence and hesitation, Rina Ikoma, who was the center, stood up. This somewhat introverted, but very strong girl stood up, bowed to the deep of the thousand nights, and said, "Please let us pray here, please!" ”

Seeing Ikoma Rina stand up, Nanami Hashimoto also stood up, bowed to Senyadeep in the same movement as her, and said, "Please let us pray here, please!" ”

The other members also reacted at this time, so they stood up one after another, bowed to the deep of the thousand nights, and said, "Please let us pray here, please!" ”

Chiya looked at the members of Nogizaka 46 who bowed to him, nodded with satisfaction, but asked again seriously, "Have you really thought about it?" Are you sure you want to pray here? ”

The members of Nogizak46 replied firmly, "Yes, please let us pray here!" ”

Chiya looked at Shiraku and Himura Yuki on the side with satisfaction, and their faces were full of gratifying expressions. So Qianye nodded and said, "Then let's pray here!" Here you pray that you will be prepared to endure hardships. ”

"Yes!" The relieved members immediately responded neatly to Chiya.

——————————————————————

After completing this stage of recording, Shiraku and Yuki Himura took their leave due to other programs, and they would reunite with the members at dinner.

In the following time, the members of Nogizaka 46 will need to learn and understand the various matters required for the entire prayer ceremony in advance. So for the rest of the afternoon, the members did not sit idle, but repeatedly practiced the various etiquette required for the prayer ceremony under the guidance of Wakadie.

After all the members had memorized the various etiquette required for the prayer ceremony and were able to meet the requirements of the ceremony, Ruodie finally nodded with satisfaction and ended the etiquette guidance to the members. The tired members returned to their assigned rooms in twos and threes, enjoying a rare break.

Although Nanami Hashimoto wanted to take this opportunity to find Chiya, Nanami Hashimoto chose to stay in the room because he was a little worried that the members would find out about his special relationship with Chiya. And just as Nanami Hashimoto took out the novel "Onmyoji" written by Dream Pillow Tapir, which she had recently read because she wanted to know more about Onmyoji, Nanase Nishino took the juniper fan that Senya gave her last time and knocked on the door of Nanami Hashimoto's room.

"Well, Nanamin, do you have time?" Nanase Nishino, who is always easy to be shy, asked Nanami Hashimoto a little shyly.

Looking at Nanase Nishino, who was standing at the door with some apprehension, Nana Hashimoto said gently: "It's okay for the time being, is there anything wrong with Nanasai?" ”

Nanase Nishino lowered his head and nodded, clutched the juniper fan in his hand tightly to his chest, and asked Nanami Hashimoto a little shyly, "Nana Min, can you accompany me to find Chiba-san?" I have some questions I want to ask him. If you go alone, you're a little embarrassed. ”

Hearing that Nanase Nishino wanted to find Chiya, Nana Hashimoto remembered the connection between Nanase Nishino and Tamako that Chiya had told her, so she put away the novel in her hand, stood up and walked in front of Nanase Nishino and said to Nanase Nishino with a smile: "What does Nanasai want to ask about Senya-san?" Why don't you let Kazmi come with you? Despite asking, Nanami Hashimoto still closed the door and planned to go with Nanase Nishino to find Chiya.

Seeing that Nana Hashimoto was unwilling to go with him to find a thousand nights, Nanase Nishino's face was a little crimson and followed behind Nanami Hashimoto. Hearing Nana Hashimoto's question, Nanase Nishino shook his head and said, "Because there are some questions I want to ask Chiba-san, but I am not very familiar with Chiba-san, so I want Nana Min to accompany me." After all, Nanamin, you're more familiar with Senya-san. ”

Nana Hashimoto was shocked, but immediately reacted that Nanase Nishino did not find out about her special relationship with Chiya, but felt that she was closer to Chiya. So he shook his head and said, "Actually, Nana Sai, you can go directly to Qianye-san, others are very good at talking." Although I like to play pranks a little bit at times, I'm not a difficult person to get along with. And didn't Qianye-san say it at noon today, if you have any questions, you can go directly to him. ”

Nanase Nishino, who likes to stick to the back of familiar members, put her body against Nanami Hashimoto, her hands wrapped around Nanami Hashimoto's slender waist, and the girl's soft body hung on Nanami Hashimoto's back, her chin rested on Nanami Hashimoto's shoulder, and she said softly: "People are afraid!" Nanamin, you have a close relationship with Chiya-san, and it will be more convenient to have you with you. ”

Feeling the soft body of Nanase Nishino clinging to his back, Nana Hashimoto shook his head and did not refuse.

While walking forward, Nana Hashimoto didn't notice that Nanase Nishino was holding a juniper fan in his small hand, so he asked Nanase Nishino, "Nanasa, is this the same juniper fan that Senya-san gave you last time?" ”

Nanase Nishino nodded, but because he put his head on Nanami Hashimoto's shoulder, he rubbed his chin against Nanami Hashimoto's shoulder and whispered, "Yes, it's this juniper fan." When I got it, I found that it was engraved with the word 'tamako', and it felt very familiar. Especially at night, I will have some dreams like Dahe dramas. Those dreams scared me a little, so I wanted to ask Chiba-san what was going on. ”

Hearing Nishino Nanase's explanation, and hearing that Chiya said that Nishino Nanase was a jade child in his previous life, Nana Hashimoto suddenly understood, Nishino Nanase should have been influenced by this cypress fan and dreamed of his past life.

Looking at the cypress fan that Nishino Nanase was holding in his hand, Nana Hashimoto didn't notice that the cypress fan was wearing a colorful belt, so he asked Nishino Nanase curiously: "Nanasa, is this belt worn by you?" ”

Nanase Nishino continued to rub his chin against Nanami Hashimoto's shoulder, and replied a little shyly: "Well, I don't know why, I think this juniper fan should be like this, so I deliberately went to wear a belt." ”

Hearing Nanase Nishino say this, Nana Hashimoto was even more sure that Nanase Nishino had recalled some memories of his previous life.
