Chapter 160: The Concert
Standing backstage on the stage, Reika Sakurai listened nervously to the noise outside, and said to herself with some uneasiness: "What should I do, there are so many people, what if I mess up?" ”
Next to Reika Sakurai, the other members also had the same nervous expressions, nervously waiting for the concert to start. Even Rina Ikoma, who has been the center of the team, lowered her head at this time, with a silent expression, not knowing what she was thinking.
Nana Hashimoto held Mai Shiraishi's hand and looked at the heavy atmosphere backstage, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Mai Shiraishi looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who wanted to speak again, smiled at her, and comforted: "Nanamin, don't worry, everyone is just a little nervous." After all, this is our first large-scale concert for Nogizaka 46, and it is inevitable that there will be pressure if it is not Live. ”
"I know, after all, there are thousands of people gathered outside, and it's normal for everyone to feel stressed and nervous." Nanami Hashimoto's eyes swept over the members with different expressions backstage, and said with some worry: "I'm just worried that this pressure will affect everyone's strength, in case this concert is messed up, we don't know when, we will have another chance, after all, this is an important debut anniversary concert." ”
"Don't worry, Reika-chan and Ichikuma will take care of these things, you have to trust our captain and Center!" Mai Shiraishi patted Nanami Hashimoto on the shoulder, although she also felt a little nervous, she still smiled and said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Although Lingka-chan usually looks quite wastewood, she is still very reliable at critical moments, otherwise the operation would not have chosen her as the captain." Not to mention Kuma, although she is not very old, she has always been a center and her ability to resist pressure is very strong, Nanamin, you don't have to worry that they will not be able to handle this situation! ”
Nana Hashimoto smiled helplessly, and said with some nostalgia in his eyes: "I know the truth, but I still can't help but worry." Just like when I was a basketball manager in high school, I knew they could play well and win games, but I couldn't help but worry that they weren't playing well. ”
"Hehe, Nana Namin, there are so many handsome guys in the basketball club, have you ever been moved?" Mai Shiraishi didn't know if it was to relieve Nanami Hashimoto's nervousness or to find some topics to talk about, and suddenly joked to Nanami Hashimoto: "Nanamin, you are so beautiful, many people should confess to you in high school, right?" Is the shoe closet full of love letters every day? ”
"Mai, what are you talking nonsense!" Nana Hashimoto didn't push Mai Shiraishi, glanced around worriedly, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he said a little shyly: "How can there be a shoe cabinet full of love letters every day, but occasionally someone buys breakfast for me." And it is impossible for the basketball manager and the members of the school to be very strict in this regard. ”
"Then Nana Min has someone pursued you, has she confessed to you?" Unable to hide her gossip heart, Mai Shiraishi hugged Nanami Hashimoto with a wicked smile and shook her arm: "Say it quickly, Nanamin!" At most, I promise I won't tell Chiya, so tell me quickly! ”
"Okay, okay, I'll just say it!" Unable to withstand Mai Shiraishi's entanglement, Nana Hashimoto had no choice but to raise her hand in surrender, looked around and saw that no one was eavesdropping, and then whispered: "When I was a sophomore in high school, a boy from another school I met in a basketball game confessed to me. I agreed to date him, but within two weeks we broke up. ”
"Huh? Broke up? Why? Mai Shiraishi was waiting for the concert to start at this time, and her face was burning with a strong desire for gossip, eager to know the answer.
Nanami Hashimoto didn't seem to care too much about this problem, and said rather indifferently: "Probably not suitable, I don't feel that kind of feeling of being able to rely on him, and I can't give myself to him with peace of mind like Qianya." ”
"Is that so? But Thousand Nights is really worth relying on. Mai Shiraishi listened to Nanami Hashimoto's answer, and an inexplicable look appeared on her face, but she also quite agreed with Nanami Hashimoto's opinion that Qianye is indeed a man worth relying on.
Just when the two of them were thinking about their hearts like this, Nanase Nishino's delicate body pounced on Nanami Hashimoto's back: "Sure enough, Nanamin's back feels the best!" After placing his chin on Nanami Hashimoto's shoulder, Nanase Nishino smiled and looked at Mai Shiraishi, who was sitting next to him, revealing a row of white teeth.
"Nanasa, it's about to start, how are you preparing?" Looking at Nanase Nishino, who pounced on Nanami Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi suddenly asked her.
Nanase Nishino rubbed the back of Nanami Hashimoto's neck with his face, and after showing the expression of a kitten's jaw being scratched on his face, he said to Mai Shiraishi with a smile: "It's okay, although I'm still a little nervous, but after hugging Nanamin, it's no problem at all." After speaking, he hugged Nanami Hashimoto's body and rubbed it a few times.
At this moment, Reika Sakurai saw that the time was almost up, so she clapped her hands and shouted to the members of the backstage, "Everyone come here, it's time to start the round formation!" ”
Hearing Reika Sakurai's shout, no matter how nervous and nervous they were, the members gathered around at this time, stood in a circle, and looked at Reika Sakurai. When the staff heard Reika Sakurai say that they wanted to circle the circle, several photographers hurriedly squatted into the circle with cameras and used the cameras to shoot the expressions of the members.
"I know everyone is nervous right now, but this is the first large-scale concert we have held since Nogizaka 46 was founded a year and a half, and it is also a commemorative concert for the first anniversary of our debut." Reika Sakurai looked at the heavy expressions on the faces of the members standing in a circle, and said seriously, "There are thousands of people outside who are looking forward to our performance, and I hope everyone can respond to this expectation well, and don't forget what has supported us Nogizaka 46 to get to where we are today." Don't let down the support of these meals, come on! ”
"Come on!" The originally nervous members were surprisingly calm down after Reika Sakurai's words, which were not really incendiary, and after smiling at each other, they responded to Reika Sakurai's words with loud shouts.
Looking at the cheered up members, a smile appeared on Reika Sakurai's face, and she stretched out a hand towards the center of the circle and shouted to everyone, "Let's put on a show with all our might!" One! Two! ”
The members watched Reika Sakurai's movements, and like her, they also stretched out their hands, towards the center of the circle, and shouted together, "Go hard!" Thank! Smile! We are Nogizaka! Ascent no Sazaka 46! ”
"Come on! Let's go all out! At this time, Rina Ikoma raised her hand, clenched it into a fist, and shouted at the members.
All the members laughed on their faces and responded loudly to Rina Ikoma, "Yo! Come on! ”

Looking at the energetic members of Nogizaka 46 on the stage, because of the relationship between Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi and Nanase Nishino, Chiya, who was sitting in the relationship seat, always had an appreciative smile on his face, until a woman in a luxurious kimono and a colored gown sat next to him, the smile on Chiya's face retracted, and even his brows furrowed.
"You're not dead." Chiya's eyes were always looking at the energetic members of Nogizaka 46 on stage, while Mai Shiraishi, Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino were performing stage, and Chiya's eyes did not turn, as if he did not want to miss every movement of his wives.
The gorgeously dressed woman also watched the performance on stage, her eyes focused on Mai Shiraishi, and her tone was full of appreciation: "The new generation of nine-tailed fox is really charming, and it can actually impress your heart of stone. ”
"Just say what you have to say, I don't think you came to me to compliment you on how good this junior of yours is, right?" For this richly dressed woman, Qianye never looked at her, and said in an indifferent tone.
"It's still as indifferent as ever, Xuan Yijun." The woman didn't seem to care about Qianye's indifference, and after chuckling, she said, "It's really not easy to wait until Xuan Yijun you leave this big shrine, but the concubine has waited for a long time before you leave this big shrine with Xuan Yijun." ”
"If you want to find me, the gate of this Taisha is there." On stage, Nanami Hashimoto and the others had already finished singing a song, and Qianye was applauding with the rest of the audience at this time: "I heard Nanamin say that she met a person who came to Ye Xuanyi at the gate of this Taisha shrine, it should be you, right?" ”
"Yes, it's the concubine. That young lady should be one of Xuan Yijun's wives, right? Hearing Qianye mention it, a smile appeared on the woman's face, but the people who saw her smile didn't feel that she was smiling at all: "But the concubine doesn't dare to break into this Taisha here, after all, directly facing the two most powerful onmyoji in Japanese history, this kind of experience is enough to have the battle of Nasuno once." ”
"Really? Is there anything else in this world that you wouldn't dare? Qianye's tone was undeniable, and through the gap between the two songs, Qianye finally glanced back at the woman: "Don't mention gossip, why did you come to me?" ”
The woman looked at Qianye, who finally looked at her, and finally had a real smile on her face, and said: "Don't worry, the concubine didn't come this time to start a war with Xuan Yijun, she just wanted to reminisce about the past, and at the same time remind you that the time of a thousand years is coming soon!" ”
"A thousand years? What do you want to say? Qianye's brow furrowed, and she really didn't understand what the woman was talking about.
The woman covered the corners of her mouth with her sleeve and chuckled: "The concubine knows that Xuan Yijun will forget about this!" A thousand-year covenant of no war, a thousand years ago, Xuan Yijun and Qing Mingjun signed a thousand-year covenant of no war with our demons, ghosts, and tengu clans, but it's about to be time. The concubine came here to remind Xuan Yijun that we are about to return, and the peaceful era of coexistence of humans and ghosts thousands of years ago will come again! ”
