Chapter 147: Her Royal Highness the Princess
Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi walked towards the underground dojo together, while Xiaobai followed behind the two of them with the prawn toad.
Nana Hashimoto looked at the shrimp toad curiously, and asked Mai Shiraishi, "Mai, why does this frog monster follow you all the time?" Is it your henchman? ”
Mai Shiraishi looked at the prawn toad who was communicating with Xiaobai in a low voice, smiled and said to it, "Prawn toad, Nanami asked why you always follow me!" ”
Hearing Mai Shiraishi's inquiry, the prawn toad hurriedly raised his head and replied respectfully to Mai Shiraishi: "Lord Nine-Tailed Fox, the little one is your attendant, quack!" Of course, follow your side, quack! After the prawn toad finished speaking to Mai Shiraishi, he bowed respectfully to Nana Hashimoto before he spoke: "As for Miss Hashimoto, your question, quack! The little one is the attendant of the nine-tailed fox, not the attendant, quack! Only a powerful monster like Lord Xiaobai is qualified to become the follower of Lord Nine-Tailed Fox, quack! The small strength is low, and there is no such qualification, quack! ”
Listening to the words of the prawn toad, Nanami Hashimoto suddenly stroked his palms and laughed: "Little white adult! Hahaha, Xiaobai, it calls you an adult! ”
Nanami Hashimoto's laughter suddenly embarrassed the prawn toad, and he couldn't help puffing out his cheeks and making a "quack" frog call. The appearance of the prawn toad suddenly made Mai Shiraishi laugh like Nanami Hashimoto.
"Xiaobai is such a powerful Shikigami, is there anything wrong with it calling me an adult?" Xiaobai looked at Nanami Hashimoto with disdain, and the little fox's face was full of pride: "Xiaobai is the god of Qingming's master, and you don't know anything about Xiaobai's power!" ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't see what Xiaobai said interesting, so she reached out and picked Xiaobai up, held it in her arms and gently nodded its little head, and said with a smile: "I know!" Xiaobai, you are the best! Saying that, Nana Hashimoto squinted her eyes and rubbed her cheek against Xiaobai's head.
The prawn toad glanced at the struggling Xiaobai who was held in the arms of Nana Hashimoto with some envy, although he also wanted to be hugged by his own adults like this, but the prawn toad was self-aware, he was a frog, and without a cute appearance and fluffy fur, it was difficult to please girls. However, the prawn toad was not discouraged, just tidied up his court clothes, and followed Shiraishi Mai more seriously. It knew that as long as it could do its job as an attendant, the Nine-Tailed Fox would definitely remember itself and thus secure its status, which was the survival of a little monster like the Prawn Toad.
"Nanamin, what kind of youkai are you going to pretend to be?" Mai Shiraishi asked Nanami Hashimoto curiously.
Nana Hashimoto smiled mysteriously and covered the corners of her mouth: "You'll know when I put on my makeup and linen clothes, so keep it a secret now!" Thinking of the appearance he chose, Nanami Hashimoto couldn't help but chuckle again, and even his eyes laughed like two crescents.
Mai Shiraishi saw that Nana Hashimoto was not selling Guan Zi to herself, and suddenly reached out to her armpit and scratched it vigorously in dissatisfaction, which made Nana Hashimoto smile suddenly, and even the little white in her hand was unstable. After the two of them fought for a while, they went down to the underground dojo, and Ruodie and the hair ghost, as well as another gorgeously dressed female monster, were already waiting for them.
"Lord Nine-Tailed Fox, please come with the little girl, there will be a little girl and Mao Zhengqi to dress you up tonight." The haired ghost and the hairy prostitute bowed to Mai Shiraishi together, bowing and signaling her to follow her to change the clothes that the hundred ghosts needed to wear at night.
"Nana Namin, I'll see you later!" Mai Shiraishi smiled and said goodbye to Nana Hashimoto, and the prawn toad still jumped up and down behind her: "We'll put on makeup and compare each other later, see who is more beautiful!" ”
In the face of Mai Shiraishi's words, Nana Hashimoto did not smile and did not speak, but just gestured to Ruodie on the side with her eyes. Ruodie's forehead was light, and she already understood what Nanami Hashimoto meant, and said with a smile: "Miss Hashimoto, please come with the little girl, the little girl will definitely make you the most beautiful scenery among the hundred ghosts in the night walk tonight." With that, Wakadie took Nanami Hashimoto and walked towards the room on the other side.
——————————————————
"Tomoka, hurry up! We're going to be late! Yoshiko ran out of a black sedan with a Imperial Household Agency license plate, turned around and shouted into the car.
A girl in the car, who was about the same age as Kako, got out of the car and said to her, "Yoshiko, why are you in such a hurry?" Don't we still have time? ”
Yoshiko looked at her friend who finally got out of the car, took her hand and ran quickly towards the torii gate of the Taisha here: "We're here for the Halloween parade, my Miss Sugai!" You wouldn't want to wear this outfit to participate in the night walk of the Hyakki, would you? ”
When Yuka Sugai heard Yoshiko say this, she couldn't help but speed up her pace, looking up at the not tall, but very quaint torii gate in front of her, and looked at this shrine curiously. At this time, the stone lanterns on both sides of the stone steps at the entrance of the main shrine have been lit, and the dim candles are under the cover of the bamboo forest, adding a bit of autumn silence to the quiet. Corresponding to this tranquility is the sound of laughter coming from the courtyard above the stone steps. People can't help but want to take a few quick steps, want to find out what this laughter is all about.
When Yoshiko and Sugai Tomoka climbed the stone steps together, Chiya and Nomura Mansai, who had changed their clothes, happened to come out of the social office at this time, and when they saw Yoshiko and Sugai Tomoka standing in front of the stone steps, they greeted her with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Yoshiko, why did His Highness Fumihito allow you to participate in tonight's Hyakki Night Walk?" ”
When Yoshiko saw Chiya, she hurriedly pulled Sugai Yuka to salute him before she spoke, "Mom helped convince my father, so I got permission to participate in tonight's Hyakki Night Walk." This is my good friend Tomoka, and she also wants to come and see tonight's Hyakki Night Walk! ”
Sugai Yuka on the side hurriedly greeted Qianye and said, "Hello Mr. Chiba, I have heard His Royal Highness Kako mention you, please take care of me." ”
Qianye smiled, nodded slightly, and said to Yoshiko, "Your Highness Yoshiko, if you want to participate in tonight's Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, you have to change your clothes quickly." By the time it gets completely dark, we'll be on our way. ”
Yoshiko nodded hurriedly, but she didn't know where to change her clothes, when the honeyworm came over and said with a smile to Yoshiko and Sugai Tomoka, "Two young ladies, please come with me." After speaking, he took the two of them to the social office.
Nomura Mansai is dressed as an onmyoji at this time, just like Harumi Abe played in the movie "Onmyoji". Nomura Mansai blocked his mouth with the bat fan in his hand, and said to Qianye with a cynical smile on his face: "Qianye-san, is this His Royal Highness Jiazi the beloved daughter of Prince Fumihito?" It seems that tonight's Hyakki Night Walk will be very interesting! ”
Chiya looked at the smile in Nomura Mansai's eyes, didn't speak, just smiled softly, and looked at the laughing youkai in the courtyard, waiting for everyone to change their clothes.
Chiya and Nomura Mansai didn't wait long, and soon Yuki Amami, Kyoko Fukada, and Hitomi Kuroki changed their clothes and walked out of the social office, while Yoshiko and Yuka Sugai stood a little shy behind the three big female artists.
Although the three big female artists of Yuki Amami, Kyoko Fukada and Hitomi Kuroki are all dressed in the same Oiran of the Edo period, Yuki Amami, who is dressed in a black kimono and decorated with flowers on the other side, gives people the feeling of atmosphere; Kyoko Fukada, who is dressed in a bright red kimono and embellished with peonies, gives a gorgeous feeling, while Hitomi Kuroki, who has waves painted on her dark blue kimono, gives a feeling of warmth and water. The three female artists who were dressed up in gorgeous clothes and full of aura suddenly made a trace of surprise flash in the eyes of Nomura Mansai beside Qianye.
The three big female artists stopped, turned to look at Yoshiko and Sugai Tomoka behind them, and motioned for the two to walk in front. Yoshiko and Sugai Tomoka glanced at each other a little embarrassed, and after bowing slightly to the three big female artists, they walked towards Chiya and Nomura Mansai.
Looking at Yoshiko, who was dressed like a princess in the Edo period, and Yuka Sugai, who was dressed as a samurai in white armor beside her, Chiya smiled and used the bat fan in her hand as a wat board, and bowed to Yoshiko with quite simple court etiquette: "See Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
At this time, although Jiazi was still a little shy, she seriously returned the salute to Qianye in accordance with the court etiquette she had learned, and she responded very calmly, showing her good etiquette.
"Sure enough, Her Royal Highness Jiazi is really dressed in this dress!" Looking at the gorgeous twelve orders on Yoshiko's body, Qianye said with a smile.
But at this time, a look of distress appeared on Jiazi's face, and she said to Qianye: "Qianye-san, this body is inevitably too heavy, how will you participate in the night walk of the hundred ghosts?" ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, please rest assured, the soles of your feet will not be contaminated with dust." Qianye had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Although it is a hundred ghosts walking at night, it is not said that it must be walked. Later, we will set off with the yokai, but we still have a chariot, a palanquin, and horses. ”
Hearing Qianye say this, Jiazi relieved herself, after all, the twelve orders on her body were indeed heavy and difficult for her to walk.
At this moment, the monsters suddenly made a noise and looked in the direction of the entrance to the underground dojo. Mai Shiraishi, who had already revealed her demon body, was dragging nine huge fox tails at this time, and walked towards the courtyard step by step. At this time, Mai Shiraishi had gorgeous makeup painted on her face, but she was not wearing a kimono, but a luxurious Tang Dynasty-style palace dress. Mai Shiraishi's beautiful long hair was not combed into a bun, but was draped behind her back, but a set of hairpins made of tortoiseshell was inserted at the back of her head as a decoration.
Looking at Mai Shiraishi who was walking towards him, Qianye couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes at this time. Facing the nine-tailed fox that showed all her charm, even the three big female artists couldn't hide their envious looks, and they were amazed by the beauty that Mai Shiraishi showed at the moment.
"Mai, you're so beautiful tonight! What about Nanamin? Hasn't she changed yet? Qianye's tone was full of admiration.
Mai Shiraishi smiled at Qianye, and this beautiful smile suddenly made the surrounding monsters fall for it. She smiled and said, "Nanamin is there!" ”
Mai Shiraishi turned around, raised her coated finger, and pointed to the entrance of the underground dojo. Nana Hashimoto, dressed in plain white, stood there quietly, as noble and immaculate as a snow elf.
Looking at Nanami Hashimoto in a plain white kimono, the eyes of Qianye were not as amazing as seeing Mai Shiraishi, but an unconcealable throbbing. At this time, the monsters around looked at Nanami Hashimoto who gradually came out, and they all felt a trace of coldness from the bottom of their hearts.
Nanami Hashimoto didn't have any extra decorations on her body, except for a plain white kimono decorated with snowflakes, just a simple golden hairpin that Qianye had given her before in her long hair conjured up by spells, and a bright red flower pinned to her sideburns. But it is such a simple dress, but it makes the ethereal temperament of Nanami Hashimoto originating from the snow country exude vividly, making people seem to see a spirit of ice and snow and feel the coldness of the heart. Nana Hashimoto didn't walk to Senya's side, and when she stood with Mai Shiraishi, the beauty of the two seemed to be indistinguishable.
A faint smile appeared on Nanami Hashimoto's face, and she asked softly, "Chiya, can you go?" ”
Qianya looked at Mai Shiraishi, the nine-tailed fox lord raised his head and looked at the youkai who were waiting for her orders in the courtyard, a confident smile appeared on his face, and he announced loudly, "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk!" Let's go! ”
