When Nanami Hashimoto and the other members of Nogizaka 46 came to the White Peak Imperial Tomb again, Kuji and Demon Sword Hime, as well as a group of martial arts cadres of the Nine-Tails Group, were already standing at the gate of the White Peak Imperial Tomb waiting for them.

However, among the many monsters, the most conspicuous one was a monster standing next to Jiujing who had never seen before. This youkai, who looks like a royal sister, has beautiful silver hair that hangs down to her calves, and has a little blonde in the morning glow. Seeing the arrival of the commuter car carrying the members of Nogizaka 46, the expression of this monster suddenly became excited, if it wasn't for the Jiujing on the side to hold her, I am afraid she would have rushed towards the members of Nogizaka 46.

"Jiujing, it's really an adult! That's right, it's really the breath of an adult, and after five hundred years, the adult is finally back! The monster said excitedly to the Jiujing beside him, after five hundred years, she felt the breath of her own adult again, which made this monster extremely excited, and after five hundred years of waiting, she couldn't wait to see her most respected adult.

Jiujing reached out and pressed the monster's shoulder, trying to calm her down: "Qiu Yumaru, the current adult is not the adult of five hundred years ago, don't be too excited!" Hearing Jiujing's words, Qiu Yumaru suppressed her excitement and took a deep breath to calm herself down, but her eyes were firmly fixed on the direction where the members of Nogizaka 46 were, hoping to see at first glance the adults she had been waiting for for five hundred years.

When Nana Hashimoto didn't get out of the car, Qiu Yumaru's blazing gaze suddenly caught her attention, she looked up, only to see Qiu Yumaru standing next to Jiujing looking at herself excitedly with a look of nostalgia and reverence, like an old person she hadn't seen for many years, and like the little monsters of the Nine-Tails Group looking at Mai. This made Nanami Hashimoto feel a little puzzled, whether he had seen this monster somewhere, but Nanami Hashimoto had no impression of her, especially after feeling the momentum of the big monster that was much stronger than himself exuded by Qiu Yumaru's body, Nanami Hashimoto was even more sure that he had not seen her.

Although he confirmed that he didn't know Akiyumaru who was standing next to Kushi, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi walked towards these youkai standing outside the White Peak Imperial Mausoleum.

"Hashimoto-sama, Miss Shiraishi, fortunately, these are the five Buddhist scriptures that Emperor Chongde sank into the sea back then, and all of them have been recovered." Looking at Nanami Hashimoto who walked in front of him, Jiujing respectfully handed the five Buddhist scriptures that had been prepared to Nanami Hashimoto, and reported to her: "Three of them were successfully retrieved with the help of this squid lady from the Nine-Tails Group." ”

"I remember you, you're an aquarium youkai, right? I'll remember the credit for this time, and when I get back to Tokyo, I'll tell the owner of the youth shop and let him reward you. By the way, how about taking me to your store next time? Mai Shiraishi heard that the squid was a monster of the Nine-Tails Group, and looked at her with interest, seemingly interested in the nightclub called the Aquarium.

"If you would like to come, the jellyfish and sharks will be very happy, and we will definitely make you feel at home!" The squid was a little excited, and his round face was full of excited smiles.

Nana Hashimoto did not take the five Buddhist scriptures handed over to her by Jiujing, untied the white cloth wrapped outside, and nodded when she felt the existence of the seal, understanding why there was no resentment emanating from these five Buddhist scriptures, but she asked Jiujing again: "Jiujing, how did you find the remaining two Buddhist scriptures?" And who is this? While asking, Nanami Hashimoto's gaze also turned to the autumn rain pill on the side.

"Hello, Hashimoto-sama, I'm Akiyumaru." Qiu Yumaru didn't wait for Jiujing to introduce himself, so he preemptively said to Nanami Hashimoto: "I am a yellow dragon who lives in the Naruto Strait, because I used to be a companion with Jiujing, and I heard that she is now a subordinate of Hashimoto-sama, so I came to defect." These two sutras are the collection that I acquired by accident during the 500 years I lived in the Naruto Strait, and I said that Hashimoto-sama needs these sutras, so I have come to present them. ”

Because of the fact that he has been isolated for five hundred years, the way Autumn Rain Pill speaks seems to have the feeling of the Warring States Period five hundred years ago, although it sounds a little laborious, but Nanami Hashimoto still understood Autumn Rain Pill's words, nodded and said to her, "Autumn Rain Pill?" If you're willing to follow me, I'm welcome, but I don't have any enemies to place you for the time being, can you be with Jiu Jing first? Jiujing, you should have a place to put the Autumn Rain Pill there, right? If not, I'll have to consider renting a house. Nana Hashimoto looked at Jiujing as she spoke, calculating in her heart the additional expenses she would need to spend if someone else defected to her.

"Hashimoto-sama, don't worry, the Shinobi clan still has some industries in Tokyo, so there's no problem with placing the youkai who defected to you." Jiujing saw Nanami Hashimoto's concerns, and while reassuring Nanami Hashimoto, she also asked Nanami Hashimoto: "Lord Hashimoto, back then, we and Qiu Yumaru both belonged to the same monster organization, in addition to our cat ninja clan and ninja dog clan, there are other members of this monster organization, and they seem to want to come to Hashimoto-sama, I don't know if you are willing to accept their allegiance?" After saying that, Jiujing looked at Nanami Hashimoto with some apprehension, and Qiu Yumaru on the side also had a worried expression.

"Your companion?" Nana Hashimoto nodded after thinking about it and said, "Okay, but Jiujing, do you really don't think about it anymore?" I don't know anything about youkai, and the power of being a youkai is only average, do you really want to follow me? ”

"Please Hashimoto-sama please don't say such things again, my allegiance to you will never change! You are the only one who deserves to be followed for the rest of your life! Jiujing said to Nanami Hashimoto seriously, and Qiu Yumaru also had the same expression, and added: "Except for you, Lord Hashimoto, there is no existence in this world worthy of our allegiance, please accept our loyalty!" ”

Looking at the serious appearance of Jiujing and Qiu Yumaru, Nanami Hashimoto could only nod silently and accept it.

Seeing that Nana Hashimoto did not agree to her request, the expressions on the faces of Kujin and Qiu Yumaru became relaxed, and they seemed to be extremely happy. Nana Hashimoto didn't quite understand why Jiujing and Qiu Yumaru were so loyal to her, but she didn't ask much, just smiled and said to Mai Shiraishi: "Mai, since the five Buddhist scriptures of Emperor Chongtoku's blood book have been found, hurry up and give them to Yoshiko, and then go to His Excellency Sagamibo Shiramine!" ”

Mai Shiraishi nodded, and said to the Demon Sword Hime: "Demon Sword Hime, you take them to wait for me here, and then we may have to go to Kyoto, if that's the case, you let the others go back first, and you can stay alone to protect me." Regarding Mai Shiraishi's instructions, the demon sword Ji just nodded silently, and Mai Shiraishi didn't care, and together with Nanami Hashimoto, she took five Buddhist scriptures written by Emperor Chongde and walked towards Yoshiko.

Seeing Nanami Hashimoto walking towards her with a cloth bag in her hand and Mai Shiraishi, Yoshiko asked her curiously, "Nanamin, what were you and Mai talking about just now?" Are those your Shikigami? As she spoke, Yoshiko looked at the monsters such as Kujin and Demon Sword Ji who were standing aside with curious eyes, and couldn't help but fantasize about what would happen if she also had a Shikigami in her heart.

"They're here to give this to us." Nanami Hashimoto handed the Buddhist scriptures wrapped in white cloth in her hand to Yoshiko and explained to her, "Yesterday we asked them to go to the Seto Inland Sea to look for the five Buddhist scriptures written in his own blood by Emperor Shotoku that were sunk into the sea by Emperor Shotoku, and luckily, they have found all of them. As she spoke, Nanami Hashimoto pointed to the cloth bag that had been held in her hand by Yoshiko.

"Nanamin, are you saying that these are the five Buddhist scriptures in the blood book of Emperor Chongtoku?" Jiazi exclaimed, quickly opened the cloth bag in her hand, looked at the five Buddhist scriptures that looked a little old, and her eyes were full of disbelief: "Oh my God, how did they find these Buddhist scriptures?" Weren't they sunk into the sea by Emperor Shotoku? How can a thousand years still be so well preserved! Kako carefully rubbed these Buddhist scriptures, opened them, and carefully examined them.

Looking at Yoshiko who exclaimed in surprise, Nana Hashimoto just smiled lightly and said to her, "Now is not the time to say this, Yoshiko. Put these sutras away and give them to His Excellency Sagamibo Hakumine along with the sutras we copied. I think he must have waited for this day for many years, and you should also complete this sacrifice ceremony to dispel Emperor Shotoku's resentment. ”

"Hmmm! I know! Nanamin, Mai, thank you, I wouldn't have been able to complete this ritual without your help! Thank you! Yoshiko bowed gratefully to Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, sincerely thanking them for their help.

Yoshiko knew that if it weren't for their help, she wouldn't have been able to complete this ritual on her own, let alone talk about dispeling Emperor Chongtoku's resentment. Therefore, Yoshiko wanted to thank Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi for their help from the bottom of her heart, so even the bow was a deep bow of 90 degrees.

"Okay, you don't have to be so polite, and if you want to thank you, you shouldn't just thank me and Nanamin!" Mai Shiraishi helped Yoshiko up and said to her with a smile: "If you want to thank you, the other members are also the objects you should be thankful for, and everyone worked hard to copy the Buddhist scriptures yesterday." Those Buddhist scriptures, although there is not as much karma and resentment as on these five Buddhist scriptures, but they embody everyone's sincere intentions, and this heart is the sincerity of everyone in Nogizaka 46 to Jiazi, but it is not inferior to these Buddhist scriptures written by Emperor Chongtoku! ”

"I understand, I feel everyone's heart!" Yoshiko responded seriously to Mai Shiraishi's words, yesterday and the members of Nogizaka 46 worked hard to copy the Buddhist scriptures, she saw everyone's efforts in her eyes, remembered in her heart, at this time listening to Mai Shiraishi's words, Yoshiko turned around, bowed deeply to the other members who were coming over, and sincerely thanked them: "Thank you, thank you!" ”

In the face of Yoshiko, who sincerely bowed and thanked her, the other members didn't understand why Yoshiko thanked her, but they still responded enthusiastically to Yoshiko's thanks.

——————————————————

"It's amazing that you were able to recover these Buddhist scriptures that I sank into the sea." Bai Feng Sagami looked at the five Buddhist scriptures that were handed over to him by Yoshiko in his own blood book back then, as well as the Buddhist scriptures copied by the members of Nogizaka 46 who were placed with these Buddhist scriptures in blood and ink, and couldn't help but feel admired: "These Buddhist scriptures copied by your hand, although the wish condensed on them is not strong, but that sincere heart is not lost to my resentment at all, and these Buddhist scriptures alone are enough to soothe my resentment." ”

Hearing the words of the Hakumine Sagami Workshop, the members of Nogizaka 46 immediately cheered, and Yoshiko also asked the Hakumine Sagami Workshop with a happy face: "Your Excellency the White Mine Sagamibo, do you need us to send these Buddhist scriptures to Kyoto for worship?" ”

Hearing Yoshiko's question, Bai Feng Sagamifang's hideous face was also a little softer, and he said to her gently: "Yes, what I resented back then was the fact that the imperial court refused to enshrine the five Buddhist scriptures I copied in the Buddhist temple in Kyoto, as long as these five Buddhist scriptures and the Buddhist scriptures you copied were sent to the Buddhist temple in Kyoto for worship, it would naturally be able to dispel the obsession I left behind back then and eliminate my resentment." ”

"Please rest assured that we will definitely send these sutras to Kyoto for worship! In the name of the Imperial Family, I, Yoshiko Akishinomiya, will definitely send these Buddhist scriptures to the Buddhist temples in Kyoto for worship, so that your thousand-year-old wish will come true! "Yoshiko made a solemn promise to Hakumine Sagami Workshop.

"Haha, since this is the case, I look forward to you fulfilling your promise, little princess, so that my thousand-year-old obsession can be realized!" Hakumine Sagami Fang listened to Yoshiko's words and laughed rarely. After laughing, Bai Feng Sagami Fang seemed to remember something, reached out and tore off a handful of feathers from the wings behind his back, then handed it to Yoshiko, and said to her: "Little princess, these feathers are my feathers, you put one in every Buddhist scripture." After you send the Buddhist scriptures to the Buddhist temple, these feathers are my gift to you. Although it is not very useful, the feathers of the tengu can still be used as a fan in the summer, fanning the wind or something. ”

Kako didn't understand why Bai Feng Sagami Fang did this, but she nodded anyway and reached out to take the feathers.
