Chapter 12 Choice

Nana Hashimoto took a large bag of various pastries handed to her by Ruodie, and her face was both happy and helpless. I'm glad that Qianye actually let Ruodie make so many dim sum, but the helpless thing is that I don't like to eat sweets too much, so many dim sum can't be eaten at all, it would be a pity if it was wasted.

Nanami Hashimoto held a large bag of snacks, and after thinking about it on the side of the road, she chose to go back to Sony Music's Nogizaka practice room. Let's share these snacks with everyone, Ichikuta and Sayuri will definitely be very excited, Nana Hashimoto didn't think so.

Because the location of the Taisha is not far from Sony Music, Nana Hashimoto, who is used to saving, chose to walk. Nanami Hashimoto, who was holding a large bag of snacks, squatted on his shoulder, walking leisurely on the streets of Tokyo in a cheerful mood.

Downstairs in the Sony Music headquarters building, Mai Shiraishi, who had just finished her foreign work, was getting out of the car.

Walking down from the nanny car, Mai Shiraishi, who was greeting the staff, suddenly saw Nanami Hashimoto walking towards this side with a large package, followed by a white pet at her feet.

Mai Shiraishi waved her hand at Nanami Hashimoto and shouted at her, "Nanamin! And walked briskly towards her.

Nana Hashimoto didn't see Mai Shiraishi and greeted her, "Mai! Come and help me, it's heavy. ”

Mai Shiraishi hurriedly took the package in Nanawei Hashimoto's hand, and the heavy weight made Mai Shiraishi's body sink down, and she quickly added a lot of strength to her hand to reflect it in time, so that the package did not fall to the ground.

"Nanamin, what is this, why is it so heavy? Didn't you take a break today, why did you come to the office and bring such a heavy thing? ”

Nanami Hashimoto shook her aching hands and said, "I'm going to the Taisha here today to find Chiya and ask him 'Where is Nogizaka?' And the fact that our debut single was a big hit. The refreshments used to entertain Qianye were delicious, so I mentioned it, but I didn't expect him to ask Miss Ruodie to make me another big bag when he left. Nana Hashimoto pointed to the package in Mai Shiraishi's hand, indicating that this was the bag of dim sum.

Mai Shiraishi flipped the package in her hand, feeling the amazing weight of this bag of dim sum, even if she had played baseball before, she was a little unbearable. Mai Shiraishi asked Nanami Hashimoto, "Then how did you get to the office?" And with such a heavy load. ”

Nana Hashimoto continued, "Because it's close to here. I couldn't finish such a big bag of dim sum, so I thought I'd bring it over for everyone to taste. ”

Mai Shiraishi felt the weight in her hands and marveled at how perseverance Nanami Hashimoto really had. Although it is not far from the Taisha to the headquarters of Sony Music, it is not an easy task to walk so far with such a large bag of dim sum. Mai Shiraishi then said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Then let's go up first, this bag of dim sum is really heavy, how much did Miss Ruodie give you?" With that, he walked towards the elevator.

Nana Hashimoto did not follow Mai Shiraishi and said, "I don't know either." I just said to Qianye that the dim sum was delicious, and he asked Miss Ruodie to make a little more for me to take away when I left, and I didn't expect that Miss Ruodie would make a little more of it would be this kind of weight. ”

The two took the elevator to the floor where Nogizaka 46's practice room was located, where the members of Nogizaka 46 would normally take over various training arrangements when there was no external business.

The two pushed open the door to the practice room and walked inside. Sure enough, most of the members of Nogizaka 46 were practicing dance in the practice room, and when the two of them came in, it was time to rest, and everyone was sitting on the ground sweating profusely, without any image.

Mai Shiraishi put the large package in her hand on the table next to her, while Nanami Hashimoto shouted to everyone, "Come here, everyone, there is something to eat!" ”

Hearing that there was something to eat, the fastest runner was really one of the two major foodies of Nogizaka 46, Erika Ikuta, and the others quickly surrounded him.

"What's that? What is it? Is it delicious? Hearing the food, Ikuta Erika rushed over.

Nanami Hashimoto said while unwrapping the package, "It's the snack I got today, bring it over for everyone to taste." The portion is a lot, so you don't have to squeeze it. As Nana Hashimoto did not unwrap the outer part of the package, a huge snack box inside the package was revealed. The surface of the box is painted with black lacquer, and the lid of the box is covered with a shell of an orchid plant, which looks very precious.

"Wow, that's expensive, isn't it?" Reika Sakurai, who came from a wealthy family, saw the value of the huge lacquer confectionery box in front of her: "Nanamin, where did you get the dim sum?" This looks precious! ”

Hearing Reika Sakurai's words, Erika Ikuta, who had already reached out to be the first to take the snack, retracted her little hand, but looked at Nanami Hashimoto with pleading eyes.

Nanami Hashimoto carefully opened the box and explained, "It's the shrine where I exorcised evil spirits for Sayuri last time. I went over today to talk to the onmyoji of the shrine and asked him to come up, 'Where is Nogizaka?' 'And we prayed for a big single on the page, and when I came back, I got such a big box of snacks. I can't finish it alone, so I brought it over for everyone to share. ”

As the lid opened, the thick aroma of the snack wafted out.

Asuka Saito on the side hugged Nana Hashimoto from behind and said, "Nana Min is the best!" Nana Hashimoto, who was a little clean, hurriedly broke free and said, "Asuka, don't hug me when you're sweating!" ”

And the eyes of Ikuta Erika, who smelled the fragrance of the dim sum next to her, were already round, and she shouted with admiration: "It's amazing!" It tastes good when it smells! ”

Nana Hashimoto did not open the entire seven layers of dim sum boxes, and more than 20 different dim sum boxes were neatly arranged in the boxes. Seven huge boxes lined up and filled the entire long table, which was amazingly imposing. Even the most impatient Erika Ikuta was frightened by the giant snack box in front of her, and covered her mouth in amazement.

Nana Hashimoto didn't expect that Ruodie handed her such an exaggerated dim sum box, so she said to Mai Fukagawa, who had the best personality among the members: "Mai Mai, you and Mai will divide the dim sum, I still have to go to the operation for some things." ”

Mai Fukagawa nodded, smiled softly and said, "Leave it to me here, don't worry." Nanamin went about her own business first. ”

Nana Hashimoto didn't see that Ikuta Erika was impatient, so she nodded at Mai Shiraishi and Mai Fukagawa, and asked them to start splitting their snacks, while she turned around and walked out the door. When he walked to the door, Nanami Hashimoto suddenly remembered something, and turned around and said, "Everyone remember not to eat it all, leave me a little!" Then he said to Xiaobai at his feet: "Xiaobai, you just stay here, do you know?" ”

Xiaobai, who pretended not to speak in front of outsiders, nodded, jumped on the long table with snacks with the help of a chair, and patted the table with his paws, indicating that he was staying here.

Nana Hashimoto nodded reassuringly, and said to Asuka Saito on the side: "Asuka, you help me take care of Xiaobai, don't let it steal snacks." ”

When Xiaobai heard this, he screamed eagerly twice, and he couldn't speak, and he could only express his dissatisfaction at the moment.

After hearing Nanami Hashimoto's words, Asuka Saito nodded that it was okay, and then plunged into the battle for dim sum.

Looking at the members gathered around, Nanami Hashimoto smiled helplessly, turned around and walked out of the practice room.

————————————————

Coming to the door of Yoshio Konno's office, Nana Hashimoto knocked politely on the door, and after getting permission, he carefully opened the door and walked in.

"Excuse me, Konno-san." Nana Hashimoto bowed to Yoshio Konno.

Yoshio Konno saw Nanami Hashimoto walk in, looked up and greeted, "Oh, it's Hashimoto-san." What, what's the matter with coming to me? Come and sit. ”

After Nana Hashimoto sat down, she said to Yoshio Konno, "That's right, Konno-san. Today I went to the shrine where I exorcised evil spirits from Sayuri last time, and I talked to the onmyoji about inviting him to participate, 'Where's Nogizaka?' The show and Nogizaka 46 debut single are selling big and praying. ”

"Oh? So what did that Onmyoji say? Yoshio Konno looked at Nanami Hashimoto with interest.

Nanami Hashimoto said, "About 'Where is Nogizaka?' The onmyoji said there was no problem. But about the single's big selling wishes, the onmyoji said that there was a little problem. ”

Yoshio Konno frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "Then what kind of problem is it?" Do you want to take on such worldly things, or do you need to pay a large amount? ”

Nanami Hashimoto shook her head and said, "It's not these problems. Senya-san, the same onmyoji who told me that if we were to perform a prayer ceremony at that shrine at Nogizaka 46, in addition to fasting and bathing for the members of the prayer, the members of the prayer would have to obtain the four sacrifices necessary for the ceremony with their own hands. It was very troublesome to obtain these 4 sacrifices, so I came back and wanted to ask for the opinion of the operation. ”

Yoshio Konno nodded, clasped his hands on his chest and continued to ask, "So what kind of four sacrifices make you feel troublesome?" Let's hear it, maybe we can solve it in our operations? ”

"The four types of offerings are cypress from the Ise Jingu Shrine Forest, flower branches from Yamataka Kamiyo Sakura, snow from Mt. Fuji, and stones from Mt. Obi. All sacrifices must be collected by the hands of the person making the prayer as a sign of devotion, and no one else may be left in between. "Nana Hashimoto did not introduce the four sacrifices to Yoshio Konno one by one.

Hearing the situation of the four sacrifices, Yoshio Konno's brows furrowed even more. He crossed his hands on his chin and said, "The snow of Mt. Fuji and the stones of Mt. Oosa are easy to say, and they are nothing more than arranging an exterior location, but the cypress wood of the Ise Jingu Forest and the flower branches of the cherry blossoms of Yamataka Kamiyo cannot be collected at all. And with the current season, the Kamiyo cherry blossoms are not blooming at all, so how can they get flower branches? ”

Regarding this, Nanami Hashimoto, who had been prepared for a long time, said, "I also asked Senya-san, and he told me that if we are willing to collect the four sacrifices, he will be responsible for the collection permission of the Jingu forest cypress and the Kamiyo cherry blossom branch. In addition, the flower branch of the Kamiyo Sakura said that as long as you follow the flow of the ritual, you can naturally get it. ”

Yoshio Konno's brows furrowed, and a smile appeared on his face: "In this case, it will be easy to solve, but it is just a matter of letting the members go out on location." Although it takes a bit of time, being able to do the exterior scenes at Ise Jingu and Kamiyo Sakura attracts a lot of attention. Hashimoto-san, well done. Speaking of this, Yoshio Konno noticed a detail in Nanami Hashimoto's words and asked, "Hashimoto-san, you just mentioned the ritual process, are there any requirements for how to collect these four sacrifices?" ”

Nanami Hashimoto nodded and said, "Yes, the collection of these four sacrifices must be carried out according to specific rituals, and the sacrifices also have special requirements, not just the items in these four places." ”

Yoshio Konno nodded in understanding: "I see. Well, Hashimoto-san, regarding the prayer for your debut single, I made a preliminary decision to go to this shrine. Regarding the collection of the four sacrifices, the operation will arrange it after discussing with the onmyoji to determine the time. By the way, what's the name of that shrine? ”

Nanami Hashimoto replied, "That shrine is called this Taisha Shrine. ”
