Chapter 143: Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night
Mai Shiraishi rummaged through her closet, turned out one set of clothes after another, and after comparing them on herself, she was dissatisfied and threw them aside. After grabbing her hair in distress and making a mess of her hair, Mai Shiraishi fell on the quilt full of clothes with a muffled grunt.
Hearing Mai Shiraishi's voice, looking at Mai Shiraishi who was only wearing underwear and falling on her clothes, Nana Hashimoto curiously glanced at the wardrobe that she had turned over, walked up to Mai Shiraishi, looked at her with her waist and asked, "What's wrong with Mai?" Such rummaging through the cabinets? Looking for something? ”
"Nanamin!" Mai Shiraishi lay down and stretched out her hand towards Nanami Hashimoto, and lied to her. Nana Hashimoto looked at Mai Shiraishi helplessly like a child, but still reached out and pulled her up.
Mai Shiraishi sat up, took Nanami Hashimoto's hand, shook her arm with a straight smile, and said to Nanami Hashimoto like a child: "Nana Min is the best, Mai loves you like you!" ”
"You still love your Thousand Nights!" Nana Hashimoto glanced at the coquettish Mai Shiraishi, looked at the clothes that were thrown everywhere, and asked Mai Shiraishi strangely: "What do you want when you turn over the cabinet like this?" ”
Mai Shiraishi stood up and shook her body against Nanami Hashimoto, rubbing around Nanami Hashimoto with a coquettish smile: "Isn't it also Nanamin, your thousand nights!" Do the two of us still need to be so clearly separated? I'm looking for another Halloween outfit! ”
'Halloween?' Isn't Nogizaka's Halloween special already recorded? Nanami Hashimoto frowned slightly, and asked a little puzzled: "Or is it like Mai You're preparing the clothes you wore on Halloween night?" ”
"Of course, it's the clothes you want to wear on Halloween night!" Mai Shiraishi showed a distressed look on her face, and fell on the quilt full of clothes again, grabbed her clothes and rolled around and said, "Every piece feels inappropriate for me, I don't even know what clothes to wear!" ”
"Why? Aren't these clothes all sack-like, to your liking? Nana Hashimoto looked at the clothes that were turned out by Mai Shiraishi, and asked puzzledly: "And these, aren't they specially made for you by the clothing brand that Qianye sent you?" How, isn't it appropriate? ”
"Well, it's not appropriate!" Mai Shiraishi pouted, hugged a pillow, looked at Nanami Hashimoto aggrievedly, and said in a coquettish tone: "Didn't we make an appointment to go to Qianye to play on Halloween, I wanted to dress up as a cosplay, but these clothes were picked and picked around, and it always felt like something was missing." ”
Nana Hashimoto glanced at Mai Shiraishi, grabbed a piece of clothing and threw it in her face, and said angrily: "These clothes of yours are all clothes you usually wear, and they have nothing to do with cosplay, of course they are not suitable!" If you want cosplay clothes, you can go to Akihabara and buy them, what are you going to do here! Nana Hashimoto looked at the clothes that had been turned out by Mai Shiraishi, and reached out to pick them up and hang them back in the closet one by one. Seeing that some clothes were pressed by Mai Shiraishi's body, he patted her ass and asked her to move away, only then did he shake some of the clothes that were crumpled by Mai Shiraishi and put them in the closet.
"Akihabara always feels a little too ordinary, I want to be a little new!" Mai Shiraishi watched Nana Hashimoto start cleaning up her messy clothes, and hurriedly stood up, picked up the clothes that had been turned out by herself, smoothed out the wrinkles, and then folded them and put them in the drawer under the closet. While arranging her clothes, Mai Shiraishi asked Nanami Hashimoto, "Nanamin, what do you think we will look like when we put on makeup?" After all, this is the first Halloween we've had with Thousand Nights, wouldn't he like Halloween? ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Nana Hashimoto kept in his hands, and while putting the clothes that Mai Shiraishi turned out back into the closet in order, he was also comforting Mai Shiraishi: "I've asked Qianye for a while, and although he's not interested in Halloween or anything, he doesn't mind if we spend Halloween with him." And Qianye also said that if we need it, he can also help us get some real yokai to make a cameo to add a little Halloween atmosphere. ”
"A real youkai? Did Qianye promise to help? Can it really be? Hearing that the Thousand Nights Class could help get real monsters, Mai Shiraishi suddenly became interested, and looked at Nanami Hashimoto with bright eyes: "If there are real monsters, can we go to the parade?" The real yokai parade is fun when you think about it! ”
Mai Shiraishi's idea made Nana Hashimoto very interested, and she looked at Mai Shiraishi quite excitedly, squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "The real big monster Nine-Tailed Fox brings all kinds of real monsters to the streets of Tokyo for a monster parade!" It's really interesting! This is the Hyakki night walk of the Heisei era, right? Then we'll talk to Chiya later! ”
Seeing that Nanami Hashimoto was also interested in this plan, Mai Shiraishi and her looked at each other and smiled, both of them sped up the speed of their hands, and after tidying up the messy clothes and putting them back in the closet, they prepared to go to this Taisha to discuss this matter with Chiya.
——————————————————
"Hyakki Night Walk? How do you have this idea? Chiya looked at Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto in front of her in surprise, and didn't understand why they wanted to make a hundred ghosts in Tokyo.
"Because it's Halloween!" Mai Shiraishi tugged at Qianye's sleeves excitedly, and explained to him: "Originally, there was a costume parade on the night of Halloween, and everyone dressed up as all kinds of ghosts to parade, and we did a night parade of hundred ghosts to add to the festive atmosphere!" Qianye, you can help! And didn't you start by saying that you could help us get some yokai to make cameos for Hyakki Night Walk! ”
Qianye was a little dizzy by Mai Shiraishi's shaking, put down the ancient books in her hand and looked at Mai Shiraishi helplessly: "I only said that I borrowed some of your monsters to set off the festive atmosphere, but I didn't want you to take these monsters out to be scary." It doesn't matter how you play around here, there is my enchantment blockade here, these monsters don't dare to mess around, and if they can't escape, nothing will happen. But if you go out on the streets, what are you going to do if these monsters scare ordinary people and cause trouble? ”
Hearing Qianye say this, Mai Shiraishi suddenly lowered her head in disappointment, pouting and looking at Qianye unhappily. Qianye looked at Mai Shiraishi's temper and smiled dumbly, although she wanted to agree to her in her heart, but thinking of the trouble caused by the words of Hyakki's night walk, she still shook her head and strengthened her determination to refuse.
"Nanamin, what are you doing? Come and convince Chiya together! Mai Shiraishi looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who was standing in front of the bookcase rummaging for something, and shouted to her with some dissatisfaction. However, Nana Hashimoto didn't hear Mai Shiraishi's words, just turned around and smiled at her, and after saying "I know" perfunctorily, she still buried her head in the bookcase.
Mai Shiraishi looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who ignored her, her lips pursed higher, and her eyes were full of grievances, and she lowered her head. At this time, after Nana Hashimoto cheered "I found it", he walked towards Chiya with an ancient book, opened the ancient book in his hand in front of Chiya and said, "Chiya, in the Heian era, the big youkai can gather their own Hyakki Night Walk, right?" You see, it is recorded that in the Heian period, the great yokai Tamamo used to gather a hundred ghosts in Heiankyo to walk through the streets of Heiankyo at night. So in fact, Mai-like can do the same thing on the streets of Tokyo in the Heisei era, right? Saying that, Nana Hashimoto looked at Chiya a little sly with her big beautiful eyes.
Mai Shiraishi, who was on the side, heard Nanami Hashimoto's words, and immediately put away the aggrieved expression on her face, and instead stared at Qianye with expectant eyes.
"Nanana Min, do you know that Tamamo was in Heiankyo at that time, and it was with the permission of me and Harumi?" Qianye curled the corners of his mouth, a playful smile appeared on his face, and looked at his wife: "Besides, even if I allow you to summon the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, where do you gather youkai to participate in the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk?" You must know that in the Heian period, the big monsters gathered their own hundred ghosts to walk at night, but they all relied on their own strength to conquer those monsters and let them join their command. ”
Hearing Qianye say this, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi couldn't help but look at each other, but soon Nanami Hashimoto came back to his senses and said to Qianye: "Qianye, didn't you say that you could lend us some monsters?" Enough of these youkai, right? ”
The smile on Qianye's face was even worse, and he said to Nanami Hashimoto: "This is not good, if you want to borrow a monster from me, you have to follow my rules, and only support them in this Taisha, and you can't take them out of this Taisha." If you're going to do a night walk with a hundred ghosts outside, you'll have to gather the yokai with your own strength. ”
"Why?" Mai Shiraishi asked Chiya puzzled, "If we gather the yokai ourselves, what's the difference between you and Qianye you lend us the youkai?" Since you agreed that we would gather the yokai ourselves to organize the Hyakki Night Walk, wouldn't it be the same if you lent us the yokai? ”
Qianye looked at Mai Shiraishi who was looking at her in confusion and Nanami Hashimoto who was puzzled next to her, and after thinking for a while, she looked at them seriously and asked the two: "Nana Min, Mai, do you know what a hundred ghosts are at night?" ”
Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi looked at each other puzzled, not understanding why Qianye asked this, so Nanami Hashimoto asked Qianye: "Isn't the night walk of the hundred ghosts a parade of youkai?" What else could it be? Mai Shiraishi also looked at Qianye suspiciously.
"It's not that simple to walk at night with a hundred ghosts, come and sit down." Chiya waved his hand, and after letting the ancient books that Nana Hashimoto had brought fly back to the bookshelf, he let the two of them sit at a low table next to him before continuing to explain: "The night walk of the hundred ghosts is a way for the big monsters to show their strength and demarcate their spheres of influence in the Heian period. The area through which Hyakki Night Walk passes is the territory of the great yokai who gathered Hyakki Night Walk, and the other youkai either obey the leadership of this great yokai or challenge the rule of this great yokai. ”
