After the production of the four singles was completed, the members sat in the screening room and watched it together.

The style of the title song is very different from the first three singles. The girl in the video, with her still young and immature face, tries her best to show cold emotions. It's a little bit inconsistent, but the members like it very much.

When cutting to some close-up shots, such as those of Ikoma, Wu Geng, Shiraishi, etc., everyone exclaimed "Oh~". The reaction was much more enthusiastic than when watching v before. It can be seen that this item will probably attract a lot of women.

meal.

However, compared to AKB, the proportion of female fans in Nogizaka is much higher, which may also be related to the development style route given by the management at the beginning. I don’t know the specific details, and I am too lazy to delve into it. She is probably an idol out of interest, not

No matter how ambitious you are, being able to make so many friends in the group is already a stroke of luck.

At the end of December, the four singles sold out the best-selling prayer scenes. The program grouping naturally separated the two centers. Nishino was assigned to the Ikoma group, and the members of the same team were Wakatsuki and Fukawa.

Wu Gen is in a group with Hoshino, Shiraishi and Hashimoto.

Mountain, cliff, water, fire.

There are four options for different locations, Ikoma chooses Cliff, Wu Geng chooses Fire.

Mountains and water are easy to guess. Mountain climbing and waterfalls should not be separated from each other. Could the cliff be rock climbing? But little girls can’t play this sport, so the program team won’t be too aggressive. As for fire, Wuda will use his imagination.

Is it a fire ring? Or a more relaxed bonfire party?

Reality proves that Wu Geng is indeed overthinking. After a long journey, I arrived at Miyaka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. I searched on my mobile phone on the way and found that the local area is quite famous. In addition to food and tourist attractions related to fire, there is also the fire crossing at Tokoji Temple.

ceremony.

Maya would have guessed that the fire crossing ceremony was gone.

The four of them also pretended not to know anything and bothered the host to explain the situation.

There are also related ritual videos on the Internet that can give you a rough idea. In short, you have to walk on the newly burned ashes. It looks scary with the smoke billowing, but it only takes a few seconds of pain and is better than the cold.

Tianchong Falls is much easier.

For the sake of the program's effectiveness, the film crew would naturally not let the members off so easily, and added a series of preparatory rituals including sitting meditation.

The host took it upon himself to break Wu Geng's legs wildly, trying to create a magical posture of putting his left foot on his right leg, and putting his right foot on his left leg. Unfortunately, Wu Geng's body was notoriously stiff in the group, and he was so painful that he slapped the floor and begged for mercy. In the end, he

He reluctantly made this gesture.

As a result, I switched to the next Hoshino and gave up decisively after trying it for a while.

"If it doesn't work, forget it. A normal cross-legged position will do."

If his legs hadn't been entangled, Wu Geng really wanted to jump up and hit someone, but after seeing a one-meter-long ruler in the hands of a monk next to him, he still chose to be polite.

It took about half an hour to practice sitting meditation. During this period, due to poor blood flow in the legs, I moved my body repeatedly. As a result, I was slapped several times by the ruler, but the host kept talking frequently.

"Are you showing mercy?"

"It's not usually this intense."

The three people on the side snickered wildly. Hashimoto couldn't hold it in and let out a few laughs, and was beaten twice more.

After sitting in meditation, I moved my back and wondered if it would be red.

After writing a prayer for a big sale on the homo wood, the four of them changed their clothes. At the ceremony site, they watched many monks beating drums and setting fire to the wood pile. After a while, the smoke was billowing, choking my sensitive nose.

Hashimoto kept sneezing.

After the fire became strong, the four people threw the homa wood in their hands into the fire, closed their eyes and prayed.

Finally, the burning ashes were spread out into a path, and the monks walked on it.

The four men followed the other monks at the fifth watch. Before walking up, the monk specially reminded them to walk more slowly and calmly, and try to ensure that the queue does not break.

"Anyway, walking for six or seven seconds should be enough."

"Eh? Six or seven seconds?"

Hashimoto covered her mouth and exclaimed, while Shiraishi lay face down on her and shook his head. Hoshino stared, shaking his head and waving his hands, "No, no, absolutely not," and kept talking.

After all, this is the center, and even if you are being tough here, you can't show your timidity. Referring to Ikuta's expression, she put on an "I'm brave and I'm not a coward" look, and volunteered to be the first to go up.

"Then Xiaonan, I'll be the last one." Hoshino raised his hand weakly, thinking that his proposal would definitely be agreed to by the two eldest sisters in the group.

Unexpectedly, Shiraishi was the first to jump out and object.

"no!"

Seeing the other three looking at her with strange expressions, she immediately organized her thoughts.

"Well... Xiaonan is so timid, it is necessary to train here. Originally, I wanted to play since I was a child. Since Xiao Shixiao volunteered, Xiaonan will be second, Nanamin will be third, and I will take the back seat.

"

What she said was so righteous. If she hadn't seen her face turn pale with fright at the fire crossing ceremony, Wu Geng wouldn't have been able to fault her.

As a result, Hoshino made the arrangements like this, leaving no room for rebuttal.

At the fifth watch, I followed the other monks and walked up at any time. The monks repeatedly reminded me to walk slower, don't be too anxious, and don't jump around.

Several monks who completed the ceremony passed by to talk.

"Today's fire-crossing ceremony was so hot, it felt like the best ever."

"When I walked up, I even wondered if my feet were burning."

Wu Geng felt her heart pounding when she heard it. She was very unsure whether the other party was exaggerating or expressing true feelings. The camera was filming, so she couldn't show her timidity. She gritted her teeth and followed the previous person on the road to cross the fire.

She almost jumped when she stepped on it. This was much more powerful than the acupressure board in the show. The small sparks hidden in the ashes were like small needles pricking the soles of the feet, the branches burned into charcoal and the residual heat

When the temperature is mixed together, it feels both painful and hot.

It's like being burned at the stake...

Fortunately, she relied on Ikuta's possession to hold it back, and walked towards the end one step at a time.

As soon as I walked to the middle, I heard Hoshino screaming from behind, "It's so hot, so hot!" or something like that. If it wasn't for this single center, she would have screamed out a long time ago, so why bother to hold it back?

What she didn't expect was that Hoshino's screaming voice behind her was getting closer and closer. She had just walked to the second half of the journey and the voice was already reaching her ears.

I had a bad premonition in my heart at the fifth watch. With Hoshino's character, if he found someone blocking the way in front of him while running, would he kick himself away?

The more she thought about this possibility, the greater the possibility, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

There were residual ashes all around. If she was kicked down, she might not have to undergo a facial fire ceremony.

But just when she was about to step aside, a heavy object pressed on her back.

Hoshino, who was so burned that he was unconscious, jumped directly on Wu Geng's body, raised his legs so high, and hugged Wu Geng's neck tightly without letting go, almost strangling her to death.

Wu Geng was so strangled that it was difficult to breathe. He stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes, spinning around in circles and patting Hoshino's arm wildly to ask her to let go.

Hoshino finally managed to hold onto a piece of life-saving driftwood but was unwilling to let it go. He buried his head directly on Wu Geng's shoulder, hoping that Wu Geng could lead her out of the sea of ​​fire.

Hashimoto, who was next on the stage, walked a few steps with a grimace. He happened to see this scene and couldn't walk past it. He went back and prayed in vain. If the fourth one died suddenly, he would become a sinner for the ages. He had no choice but to die in the ashes.

Switching legs back and forth to hold on.

Just as he was about to step onto the road to cross the fire, Baishi saw a traffic jam on the road ahead. He immediately reined in his horse and immediately retracted his outstretched foot.

"Uh... I'll wait for them here for a while." He said it righteously.

On the side was preparing to take a video of the members' completion of the fire crossing ceremony, which completely recorded the entire process of the tragedy.

Watching Hashimoto and Gogeng, who was strangled by Hoshino, dancing in the ashes, he was also a little confused and turned around to ask another stunned staff

"I never heard that dancing is required during the fire crossing ceremony...is the host a new addition?"

Fortunately, the monks who reacted quickly stepped forward and pulled Wu Geng out of the fire crossing road, and Hashimoto found a chance to walk out.

Residents who lived nearby and watched the ceremony burst into laughter.

The host who trotted over saw Wu Geng and Hashimoto kneeling on the ground with their feet shrunk. They were so ashamed that they almost buried their heads in the ground. The monk next to them went up to check their feet and shook his head to her, indicating that it was okay. He was presiding over this.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned around and looked at the applause and cheers of the surrounding residents, and said with a smile, "It's much more lively than usual."

The monks around smiled and nodded.

the other side.

The people around Shiraishi were all empty, and they all ran to the other end of the fire crossing ceremony.

She looked around, a little confused.

"...So do I still have to leave?"
Chapter completed!
