Chapter 64 "How long are you going to sleep?...

Azhi ended up living with the person she was tasked with.

Unlike the initial malicious speculations about Yoriichi Tsugikuni, her life here is very easy. This service job that no one else wants to do is the easiest one.

Strictly speaking, she couldn't even be described as serving.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni is already able to take good care of himself, and on top of that, he can also take care of Ori, who's a burden. :)

000's daily task is to watch its target get up early to fetch water and chop wood, and then eat with A-Zhi at mealtimes. Of course, it doesn't really have any objections to this.

After all, Azhi isn't really here to be a maid; she has another mission. It's naturally a good thing that she can live well in the mission world.

Aori also tried her best to get up early, although she still couldn't help much and could only follow Yoriichi Tsugikuni like a useless little helper, living like a flag-waving little brother.

Although they didn't talk much, the atmosphere between them was quite pleasant, which made 000 feel at ease after giving a few instructions before going into hibernation.

Yoriichi would sometimes go out, and when he came back he would bring some things with him. It was unclear what he did, but he didn't show any intention of following along, so Aori naturally wouldn't make a decision on her own.

A few days ago, when 000 was around, Azhi would chat with it. Most of the time, she would ask some questions, and the system would choose to answer or not answer. It was quite interesting.

Today, Yoriichi Tsugikuni is not here, nor is 000. As usual, Aori is sitting on the steps waiting for her mission target, feeling very bored.

Gradually, she fell asleep.

The girl leaned against the door frame, her legs naturally tucked to the side. She was sleeping peacefully, her mouth open but not drooling, her hunched back of her neck clearly visible, curving into a smooth arc.

The sunlight shone on her rosy cheeks, casting small shadows on her curled eyelashes, radiating a warm glow.

When Ji Guoyan arrived, this was the scene that greeted him. He was carrying a cloth bag. He slowly walked up to the girl who knew nothing about him and stood there. Then he frowned and looked down at her.

Azhi was a complete stranger; Jiguo Yansheng hadn't seen her the last time he came, but the clothes the girl was wearing already indicated her identity.

Kokuichi Kokushi was practicing swordsmanship under the guidance of his retainers when he encountered a bottleneck that he couldn't break through, which caused him to feel a sense of anxiety.

Just then, some refreshing dried plums were delivered. Kokunobu Iwakatsu thought they looked pretty good, so he had his servants pack some up and then dismissed them before heading to Yoriichi's residence.

He actually enjoys being with his younger brother because he feels a sense of peace with him.

Unfortunately, instead of Yoriichi, I saw a lazy little maid.

Kokuichi Katsuki deduced that there was no one in the house. He had come here secretly, so he wouldn't waste time waiting for Yoriichi. Besides, he didn't know where Yoriichi had gone or how long it would take for him to return.

The best course of action would be to hand the food to the new maid and then leave.

So, with a stern face and a cold, indifferent tone, he said, "How long are you going to sleep?"

Jiguo Yansheng held a rather strict master-servant relationship in his heart. He frowned and looked at Azhi, who was just as unpredictable as her master.

In her sleep, Azhi felt a chilly wind blow by, making her feel cold both physically and mentally. Feeling weak and pitiful, she wanted to hug herself to warm up.

Then I heard the sound of ice water coming from above.

Azhi shivered from the cold. She opened her eyes groggily, not yet mentally prepared, and met a pair of sharp, condescending eyes.

This is a very different "Yoichi Tsugikuni" from before he left, both in terms of his sophisticated attire and noble demeanor.

He was dressed as a samurai, wearing a neat purple kimono and black riding hakama, his hair was tied up high, and his expression was calm, yet he exuded an aura of authority without anger.

As if he had just finished a strenuous exercise, the boy was sweating, and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes and brows, his lips pressed tightly together.

His figure almost blocked most of the light in front of Aori, and under the dim visual effect, the already aloof "Yoichi Tsugikuni" looked even more unapproachable.

In any case, Azhi was completely stunned by the boy in front of her.

She was stunned, her mouth slowly opening into a circle, not understanding why, just by going out once, the person she was tasked with seemed like a completely different person, becoming utterly unfamiliar.

Yes, it really is unfamiliar.

She stared blankly upwards and noticed the boy's slightly damp forehead. As if by reflex, Aori reached for a clean cloth from her pocket and handed it to "Tsugikuni Yoriichi".

This was her doing as a flag-waving assistant, since she couldn't chop wood and could only watch from the sidelines.

But the "Yoichi Tsugikuni" in front of him did something completely different from before.

He didn't reach for it; his dark eyes lingered on the cloth for a moment, then he slightly raised his chin and stood there straight, looking as if he needed help.

Azhi looked up at him: "?"

Her hand remained raised in mid-air, and she tilted her head in confusion, her dark eyes filled with pure bewilderment and incomprehension.

In his time with Yoriichi Tsugikuni these days, he did not treat her as a maid at all, and basically did not ask anything of her.

Therefore, Azhi naturally did not have a similar experience.

"…………"

The air was filled with silence.

Jiguo Yansheng: "?"

He frowned even more, feeling that this maid was truly utterly unruly. He hadn't bothered her when she was slacking off and sleeping earlier, but now she couldn't even wipe her master's sweat.

The girl's fair fingers were like newly sprouted bamboo shoots, as if they had never been used. Even Ji Guoyansheng's hands, which were used for practicing swordsmanship, were much rougher than hers.

Yoriichi is spoiling her way too much.

Thinking this, Ji Guoyan was about to reprimand her.

In Aori's eyes, it was Yoriichi Tsugikuni who was coldly watching her, his eyes slightly narrowed as if he were scrutinizing something, with a hint of oppression.

She felt a chill, her fingers clenched tightly, and she began to realize that something was wrong.

One very important point that she had just overlooked was that the current "Yoichi Tsugikuni" did not have that strange red mark on his forehead.

But Aori couldn't explain the situation for a moment, and in the end, she could only timidly call out, her voice so low it was almost inaudible: "...Yoriichi?"

Strictly speaking, it's not her fault.

The system can only provide limited information, so it naturally focuses on the task object and the task itself, while other information is mostly mentioned only briefly.

Azhi only had a vague understanding of the mission, let alone other information. "Having a vague impression" was already considered good. Naturally, she didn't know that the mission target was the younger brother of the twins.

With a "rip," the sound of dry grass being trampled was heard.

The real Yoriichi Tsugikuni appeared before them, wearing a dark red, tattered kimono, with messy hair and carrying a basket on his back.

When Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Kokushibo Tsugikuni appeared together, their almost identical faces were even more shocking, and the truth was revealed.

Azhi's eyes widened immediately.

She looked around cautiously, then, as if shy, couldn't help but run towards someone she knew well and hide behind him.
