"Jingle bells jingle bells, Jingle all the ay......" When the familiar melody of the famous Christmas song "jingle bells" wafts through the streets, the annual Christmas is already approaching. Originally used by Christianity to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, after the evolution of the times and cultural improvements, this originally religious holiday has now become an entertainment festival that has spread to the whole world.

In Japan, Christmas parties, going to KFC, and confessing under the Christmas tree have become the standard way for young Japanese people to spend Christmas. The unique and slightly bizarre habit of eating KFC at Christmas has been selected as one of the top 10 strange customs in the world to celebrate Christmas, which makes Christmas in Japan a little more interesting.

In recent years, decorating the city with bright lights on winter nights has quietly become one of the new customs to celebrate Christmas.

Nanase Nishino held Chiya's arm tightly, and a sweet smile appeared on his face. Senya wore a trench coat and was dressed like an ordinary office worker, holding a Christmas cake in one hand and Nanase Nishino in the other, and the two walked together on the streets of Tokyo.

Snowflakes have already fallen on the streets of Tokyo in winter, and the snowflakes have shrouded the whole of Tokyo in a white mist, coating the ground with a layer of silvery white.

"I'm sorry, master." Nanase Nishino lowered his little head, his face flushed with excitement, and he smiled a little shyly: "Because last time you accompanied Nanamoin to watch the fireworks display, I also want to go on a date with you like an ordinary person, thank you, master, for agreeing to such a willful request." ”

Qianye looked at Nanase Nishino dotingly, a doting smile appeared on her face, and she said with a smile: "It's okay, Nana Sai, your occasional willfulness and coquettishness will only make me feel more cute." Speaking of which, it was hundreds of years ago when I took you out for a walk like this. ”

"At that time, it was New Year's Day, master, you took me to the Imperial Palace in Kyoto to attend the Emperor's banquet." Nanase Nishino squinted his eyes with a smile of memory on his face: "I still remember the expression on his face when Hideyoshi Hashiba saw me following you at the Emperor's Banquet, it really looked like a big horse monkey!" ”

Chiya and Nanase Nishino are reminiscing about the past while walking, and the intimate appearance of the two makes passers-by on the street look at them with envy and blessing from time to time.

"Speaking of which, Master, you seem to be more like an ordinary person than you were four hundred years ago." Nanase Nishino looked at Chiya beside him, who was like an ordinary person, and suddenly said to Chiya in a somewhat exclamatory tone: "The previous master was a person who seemed to care about nothing, full of majesty and indifference. But since I met you again, I have found that you have become more and more gentle, and you are more and more smiling. ”

Chiya listened to Nanase Nishino's words, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the curse on my body was lifted by Mai, right?" Four hundred years ago, because of the curse, I closed my heart, I was not very willing to get close to ordinary people, and my personality was more indifferent. As for now, one is that the curse that has plagued me for thousands of years has been lifted, and the other is that since I met Nana Min and Mai and Nana Sai again, I feel that my heart has become much younger. Maybe it's because I've lived too long, and my heart has been lonely for too long, so I can't wait to use you to fill the emptiness in my heart. I'm sorry, Nanasa, but maybe that's why I'm keeping all three of you with me. ”

"You don't need to say that, Chiya." Nanase Nishino raised his hand and pressed it on Chiya's lips, looked at him and said seriously: "Whether it's me, Nana Min, or Mai, we are all willing to be with you like this." I'm going to share it with others, but I'd like to see your smile on your face. I think Nanami and Mai feel the same way, that's why they accept this status quo and choose to be with you. ”

"Okay, don't talk about that, let's go back quickly, I don't want the cake to freeze hard." Qianye smiled with relief, stopped talking about this topic, and pulled Nanase Nishino and suddenly ran quickly: "Hurry up, Nana Sai!" Wakadie and Honey Worm were planning to make a real Christmas dinner, and they even went to buy turkey! ”

"Hahaha, slow down!" Nanase Nishino, who was running by Chiya's arm, smiled and ran after Chiya, stepping on the snow-covered streets with snowflakes, and spilling laughter on the streets of Tokyo.

"Honey worm, is the apple baked?" Ruodie put the baking tray full of chicken thighs in the oven, looked at the honeyworm-baked apples inside, and looked up at her.

The honey worm walked over, looked at the apples that had become soft in the oven, took them out directly, smelled the fruity aroma of these apples slightly, nodded with satisfaction and said to Ruodie: "It's baked, these new kitchen utensils are really easy to use." ”

Ruodie looked at the honey worms holding the hot baking tray with their bare hands and didn't care, as Shikigami and youkai, they could completely ignore the temperature and touch it directly with their hands like this for this kind of temperature that was enough to make ordinary people's skin and flesh rotten. After turning off the oven and carefully setting it to start baking according to the instructions on the side, Ruodie raised her head and said to the honey worm with confidence: "Human beings have achieved more in just one hundred years than in the past thousand years, and it can be seen from the changes in the kitchen alone. A hundred years ago they were still using firewood, but now they have conquered thunder and lightning. If it weren't for the owner's renovation of the underground dojo and the rebuilding of the kitchen along with the kitchen, I'm afraid I would still be using the old-fashioned stove of the past. ”

"Mr. Xuan Yi has made more changes in the past year than he has made in the past 1,000 years." Hearing Ruodie's exclamation, Honey Worm replied with the same emotion: "Before this, if Ruodie told me that Mr. Xuanyi would accompany girls on a shopping date like an ordinary person, I would never believe it." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as she handled the ingredients in her hand, and she said to the honey worm, "This is the credit of Miss Hashimoto, Miss Shiraishi, and Miss Nishino." Since the owner met Miss Hashimoto and Miss Shiraishi, and saw Miss Nishino again, he has become much more cheerful. In a situation like last time, if I had been in the past, I would have been severely punished by my master, and I wouldn't just have given me a vacation to leave this shrine for a while. ”

"You were too reckless in what happened last time, even if you want Miss Shiraishi to lift the curse on Mr. Xuanyi, you shouldn't do that! Fortunately, Mr. Xuanyi has generously forgiven you, otherwise I would really worry about you. Seeing Ruodie mention the previous incident, Honeyworm couldn't help but have a worried look on her face, as a friend who has known each other for thousands of years, Honeyworm really didn't want to see Ruodie have an accident.

"If I can lift the curse for my master, it doesn't matter if I pay with my life. What's more, the master was not angry about this. Ruodie shook her head indifferently, and said to the honey worm with a smile: "Okay, don't talk about this, hurry up and work!" The host and Miss Nishino went out to buy a cake and will be back soon. Miss Hashimoto and Miss Shiraishi will also come over in the evening, and we will have to prepare the Christmas dinner for the evening before they return. ”

Seeing Ruodie say this, Honeyworm had no choice but to smile, and worked with her to process the ingredients and make the Christmas dinner in the evening.

"Hashimoto-san!" Akimoto Manatsu greeted Nanami Hashimoto, stood in front of her with a pouting and a smile, and handed over a box in his hand: "Merry Christmas!" ”

"True-summer? Merry Christmas! Nana Hashimoto was not taken aback by Akimoto Masata's sudden movements, looking at the box handed over by Akimoto Makhimatsu, she was a little confused: "What is this?" ”

"This is my own baked Christmas cake, I have been taken care of by you and Shiraishi-san before, and I was invited to a Halloween party like that last time, thank you very much! There's nothing to do, so I'll bake myself a cake for you on Christmas Day. Akimoto Manatsu smiled and said words of thanks as she handed the box containing the cake to Nanami Hashimoto.

Nana Hashimoto accidentally took the box handed over by Akimoto Manatsu, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Matsu!" Actually, you don't need to be so polite, why are you also a member of Nogizaka 46, and Mai and I didn't do anything, it was your own efforts that made everyone accept you. As for the last Halloween party, we just didn't want to see you and Nanasai get into such a fight, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Akimoto Masatsu shook his head and said gratefully to Nanami Hashimoto: "That's not the case, if it weren't for Hashimoto-san and you and Shiraishi-san to accept me first, the other members wouldn't be so willing to talk to me so quickly." Anyway, thank you Hashimoto-san and Shiraishi-san for your help, thank you! Akimoto said this and bowed to Nanami Hashimoto.

"It's all said, don't be so polite!" Nana Hashimoto didn't see Akimoto Manatsu so polite, and hurriedly said to her: "It's okay to call me Nana Min in the future, but it seems very rusty to call Hashimoto-san!" ”

Akimoto Masatsu heard Nanami Hashimoto say this, so he raised his head with a smile, nodded happily, and then shouted to Nanami Hashimoto: "Nanamin! Seeing that Nana Hashimoto agreed with a smile, Akimoto Masha hesitated for a moment, and tentatively invited her: "Nanamin, are you free at night?" Shall we eat together for Christmas? Can you call Shiraishi-san together? ”

"I'm sorry, Matsu." Nanami Hashimoto showed a regretful look on her face, looked at Akimoto Manatsu and said, "I have an appointment with Mai in the evening, next time." Next time, you can come and stay at Mai's house with me! ”

Akimoto Masatsu's face looked a little lonely, but she quickly smiled and nodded to Nanami Hashimoto, and agreed with her to stay at Nanami's house next time.
