Chapter 11: The Ritual of the Radiant Sun
Qianye stood in a pile of floating ancient books, as if looking at something. There are many of these ancient books around Qianye, and every time Qianye approaches an ancient book, the ancient book will turn the page by itself so that it can be viewed by Qianye. Some of the ancient books are scrolls, and when they are viewed in a thousand nights, the scrolls unfold on their own to reveal what is written.
Nana Hashimoto did not look at the thousand nights standing in the many ancient books, and stood quietly aside, without disturbing him.
However, Chiya sensed the arrival of Nanami Hashimoto and said directly to her, "Come here, Nanamin, don't stand there." ”
Nana Hashimoto stepped forward curiously, carefully avoiding the ancient books suspended in the air, and stood beside Qianya. Watching Qianye constantly flip through and check these ancient books, Nana Hashimoto asked curiously, "Qianye-san, are you looking for something?" ”
Qianye looked up at Nanami Hashimoto and said, "I can't remember something clearly, and I want to look up the classics." Is there anything about Nanamin coming to me? Or is Xiaobai too naughty? After saying that, Qianye also deliberately glanced at Xiaobai who was squatting on Nanami Hashimoto's shoulder, and his serious eyes frightened Xiaobai into shrinking behind Nanami Hashimoto's neck.
Nana Hashimoto didn't feel the fluffy body of Xiaobai on the back of her neck, and hurriedly said, "No, no, Xiaobai is very well-behaved." I'm here today because there's something on the operation side that I want to ask for your opinion. ”
Chiya looked at Nanami Hashimoto, smiled and asked, "Some things you want to ask my opinion about?" Qianye waved her hand, and the ancient books in the sky were neatly put away and returned to the bookshelf on the side. Then Qianye greeted Nanami Hashimoto and said, "Sit down and talk, I asked Ruodie to prepare refreshments." ”
After Qianye finished speaking, a few cloth balls and dwarf tables slid over on their own. Nana Hashimoto has some immunity after seeing these magical pieces of furniture a few times, and although she is still amazed in her eyes, she no longer feels any fuss.
After Qianye and Nanami Hashimoto sat down, Xiaobai on Nanami Hashimoto's shoulders also climbed down, sat on a cloth ball next to the low table, and said loudly: "Xiaobai hasn't eaten Sister Ruodie's refreshments for a long time!" Xiaobai also has refreshments! ”
Qianye glanced at Xiaobai amusedly, shook his head, and said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Xiaobai didn't trouble you, right?" ”
Nanami Hashimoto smiled and said, "No, Xiaobai is very well-behaved." And it's so cute, when I brought it to the practice room, everybody loved it. Saying that, Nana Hashimoto also reached out and touched Xiaobai's head.
Qianye saw that Nana Hashimoto liked Xiaobai very much, and said reassuringly: "It's good if you like Xiaobai." ”
At this time, Ruodie came over with a pot of tea and a plate of refreshments, and after placing the refreshments and teapot on the low table, she gave a salute and stepped aside.
Chiya picked up the teapot and filled both Nanami Hashimoto and her own cup with tea and asked, "Nanamin, you just said that you have something over there that you want to ask my opinion?" Then why didn't they come on their own? ”
Nana Hashimoto picked up the black pastry on the plate, took a light bite, swallowed the sweet fragrance of sesame seeds, and said, "Because I don't have your contact information, the operation is not good, so I asked me to ask what you mean first." Speaking of this, Nanami Hashimoto suddenly glanced curiously at the black dim sum in his hand, and asked Qianye, "What kind of dim sum is this, it's delicious!" ”
Qianye smiled at Nana Hashimoto and said, "If you like it, eat more, these snacks are made by Ruodie herself, and it's not enough." ”
Nana Hashimoto nodded happily, took another bite of the snack in his hand, swallowed the tea and asked, "What's the name of this snack?" It's really delicious, the fragrance of sesame seeds comes out, and it's so sweet. ”
Qianye explained with a smile, "This is a traditional Chinese pastry called Mozi Cake. Because I have a sweet tooth, Ruodie often makes some of these snacks. If Nanami likes it, I can ask Wakadie to make more for you, and take it with you when I leave. ”
Nana Hashimoto hurriedly shook her head and said, "No need, I'm sorry to trouble Ruodiesando." ”
Although Nanami Hashimoto said no, Qianye still saw from her eyes that she liked this kind of snack very much, so she instructed Ruodie: "Ruodie, make some more snacks for Miss Hashimoto, let her take them away later." ”
"Yes, master." After bowing, Wakadie turned around and left to make snacks for Nanami Hashimoto.
Nana Hashimoto didn't see this, so she could only thank Chiya: "It's really troublesome, Chiya-san, thank you." ”
Qianye shook his head and said, "Nanamin, you don't have to be so polite to me, what you like, just say what you want to do." ”
Nana Hashimoto puffed out her cheeks and looked at Chiya a little shyly, and her cute expression made Chiya's heartstrings flutter too. Nana Hashimoto covered her cheeks and asked, "Senya-san, why are you so good to me?" We've only met twice. Is it really like Xiaobai said, I am your descendant? ”
Qianye, who was drinking tea, choked on a sip of tea by Hashimoto Nanawei's words, and put down the teacup in embarrassment, covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed a few times. Nana Hashimoto hurriedly got up and asked, "Senya-san, are you okay?" ”
Qianye covered her mouth and waved her hand to indicate that she was okay. After calming down the cough, Qianye glared at the cheerful Xiaobai who was holding a snack and nibbling on the side, which made the little fox stiffen, and even the snack he was holding fell off, and said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Why do you think like that?" ”
Nanami Hashimoto tilted her head and said, "Because Senya-san, you are really good to me." Clear eyes looked directly into Qianye's eyes, as if to see through this man.
Chiya lowered her eyes, avoided Nanami Hashimoto's gaze and said, "That's just your delusion." ”
Nana Hashimoto stared at Chiya's face and said, "Then why do you want to avoid my gaze?" You say what I want to do, what I like to say directly, so I want your answer now. After saying that, Nana Hashimoto leaned over and leaned her face closer to Chiya, and propped her hand on the low table.
Chiya pressed Nanami Hashimoto's little head with one hand, pushed her back, and said in a doting tone, "Sit down." After Nanami Hashimoto sat down with a small mouth, Qianye looked at Nanami Hashimoto and said, "I just like it." ”
Nanami Hashimoto had a sly look in her eyes, and asked evilly, "What do you like?" Nogizaka 46 is forbidden to fall in love! ”
Qianye looked helplessly at the smiling Hashimoto Nanami, but the doting in his eyes was even worse.
In the end, Qianye didn't answer Nanami Hashimoto's question, but diverted the topic and asked, "Nanamin, you just said that you have something to ask my opinion on the operation of Nogizaka 46, what is it?" ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't see Chiya divert the topic, and puffed up her little face unhappily, but the smart girl understood that the answer was already obvious, but if she continued to ask, it would only embarrass both of them, after all, she was an idol forbidden in love. So he replied: "Because of what happened last time, I hope that Chiya you can last time we are Nogizaka 46's title group 'Where is Nogizaka?' 'Record an episode. In addition, the management also hopes to be able to pray for the success of our Nogizaka 46 debut single at this Taisha shrine, so I asked you for your opinion. ”
Chiya ignored the careful thought of omitting the honorific title in Nanami Hashimoto's words, and replied, "It doesn't matter if you want me to go to the title group or something, as long as Nana Min you want me to go." It's just that I don't know much about these things, I'm afraid it's going to be boring. ”
Nanami Hashimoto smiled sweetly and said, "It's okay, Chiya." The program team has always had a script, as long as you agree to be on the show, the program process will be arranged in advance, as long as you follow the script. And it's a recorded program, and the bad parts will be cut. ”
Qianye looked at Nanami Hashimoto, whose smile was amazingly sweet, and quipped, "What if I was too boring and the shots were all cut?" ”
Nanami Hashimoto shook her head and said like a coquette: "Qianye, as long as you put on a few handsome poses, there will be many ends." ”
Qianye looked at the coquettish Hashimoto Nanami helplessly, he didn't understand the girl's thoughts, but there were always some things that couldn't be said. He thought for a moment and said: "In this case, there is no problem with your title group, you just need to ask your operation staff to confirm the time." As for your new prayers, if you can, you'd better not do them at this Taisha shrine. Any shrine in all of Japan, whether it's Ise Jingu or Izumo Taisha, if you want to go, I can help you get permission. But here in Taisha, forget it. ”
After listening to Chiya's words, Nana Hashimoto pretended to be unhappy and said, "Why? Isn't Senya welcome us to come to this Taisha shrine to pray? ”
Qianye added another cup of tea for herself and said, "No, Nanamin, you are willing to pray for the Taisha here, I am very welcome. There are no one who comes to the shrine once or twice a year to hold a prayer ceremony, so of course I welcome anyone to come. It's just that the prayer ceremony of the Taisha here is very complicated, and if it is not necessary, there is no need for Nanami to suffer that hardship. ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't hear Senya say this, and asked curiously, "Eh, is there anything special about the prayer ceremony of the Taisha here?" ”
Qianye nodded and introduced: "The prayer ceremony of the Taisha here is called the Ritual of the Radiant Sun, and the ritual is very effective, and anyone who wishes to pray here will definitely be known by the gods and be blessed by the gods, but the ritual is very complicated and cumbersome. First, the supplicant must fast and bathe as a sign of piety, and then undergo the purification ritual of the chief priest. It's all well and good at this point, but then the supplicant has to gather the four sacrifices with his own hands, make offerings to the gods, and then perform dances before the gods. What is required here is not an ordinary kagura dance, but a naginata dance. After the dance is completed in front of the gods, the chief priest burns the ritual to inform the gods, and the entire prayer process is completed. If you are going to make a prayer, it will take at least a few days to prepare. Therefore, for your convenience, I can arrange any shrine in Japan for you. Oh, except, of course, which one enshrines war criminals. ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't care about Chiya's last words, but thought carefully about the entire prayer process and asked, "What are the four sacrifices?" Does it have to be collected by the hands of the person who prayed for it? ”
Qianye nodded and said, "The four sacrifices are the cypress wood of the Ise Jingu Shrine Forest, the flower branches of the cherry blossoms of the mountain high kamiyo, the snow closest to the sky at the top of Mount Fuji, and the stone of Mount Osora which is closest to the Yellow Springs country. All sacrifices must be collected by the hands of the person who prays as a sign of piety, and no one else is allowed to do so. That's why I don't want you to pray at the shrine here, because it's too troublesome. ”
Nana Hashimoto nodded, understanding Senya's words, after all, the collection of the four kinds of sacrifices had to run almost all over Japan. Nana Hashimoto thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go back and ask the operation and see what their opinions are." If you don't pray at the Taisha here, can you go to any other shrine? ”
Qianye said confidently: "There is no shrine in all Japan that dares not to give me this face, even Ise Jingu and Izumo Taisha. ”
Nana Hashimoto looked at Chiya who exuded confidence, and her smile was full of sweetness.
