In the backyard in the afternoon, Ikenami Shizuka was enjoying tea under the cherry blossom tree.
This cherry blossom grove was planted by Akemi in the past. Ikenami Shizuka likes this place very much. After dinner, she sits under the trees to drink tea and watch the various animals on the grassland not far away. She feels very relaxed and doesn't want to move once she sits down.
She picked up the celadon teacup; the clear tea reflected her gentle features. In the distance, on the grassland, several sheep were leisurely grazing, occasionally bleating.
Several Oddish seemed to be attracted by the elegant and beautiful woman under the tree, who looked like a fairy descended from heaven. They swayed their round bodies and curiously approached.
Meanwhile, other people were also drawn over...
"Master~"
A clear, youthful voice approached from afar, and Chi Bojinghua knew who it was without even turning around.
A slight smile played on her lips as she flipped over another upside-down teacup, filling it with tea just as Yuzuru sat down.
"Finished visiting the shrine?" Ikenami Shizuka raised her eyes slightly, her gaze as clear and gentle as a lake in spring.
Yuzuru took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down with each swallow. "Hmm, Ai's design is fantastic! Carpenter Ami has finished everything..."
Chibo Jinghua smiled slightly and gave her evaluation: "Although that child is sharp-tongued, he is actually very considerate."
“Yes…” Yuzuru nodded in agreement.
Beneath the cherry blossom tree, pink and white petals drifted down in the wind, landing on Ikenami Shizuka's kimono. She gently brushed the petals away, her movements as elegant as a classical beauty stepping out of a painting.
Watching her apprentice wolf down his food, Chi Bojinghua gently tapped his forehead with her fingertip: "Drink slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
This action made Yuzuru Nanasu suddenly quiet down.
He blinked, then suddenly leaned forward without warning, his head landing squarely on Ikeba Shizuka's legs.
"I'm so tired~" he drawled, like a large, spoiled dog.
"You have no manners," Chi Bo Jinghua scolded lightly, but then adjusted her sitting posture to make him more comfortable.
Today she was wearing a loose-fitting loungewear kimono, with her delicate collarbone faintly visible at the lapel. From this angle, you could see her beautifully shaped jawline and a few strands of hair falling down.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the cherry blossom trees, casting dappled shadows on the master and his apprentice.
Yuzuru narrowed his eyes contentedly, basking in the warmth of the sunlight, the delicate fragrance emanating from his master lingering around his nose—a blend of tea and cherry blossom scents, like a gentle lullaby, bringing peace of mind.
"Master's lap pillow is the most comfortable~"
He rubbed against me contentedly, like a satisfied cat.
A lap pillow or something similar—soft, fragrant, it's simply the most comfortable thing ever.
Chibo Jinghua shook her head helplessly, her slender fingers gently combing his hair: "How old are you? Still acting like a child."
"In front of my master, I'll always be a child~"
Yuzuru said confidently.
Ikeba Shizuka was amused by him, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. She stretched out her fingertip and gently tapped his forehead: "Smooth talker."
Yuzuru chuckled and casually grabbed the beautiful woman's wrist: "Master's hands are so beautiful~"
Her long, slender, fair fingers had distinct knuckles, and her nails were neatly trimmed with a faint pink hue. Unlike the soft hands of ordinary women, Chibo Jinghua's hands bore the thin calluses formed from years of sword practice, yet they possessed a unique charm.
Several walking grasses approached with a "tap-tap" sound, their round bodies swaying from side to side, their leaves curiously peering at the master and apprentice.
"What are you looking at?"
Yuzuru raised an eyebrow. "Never seen a deep bond between master and disciple before?"
"Walking~ Walking~" The walking grasses shook the leaves on their heads in unison, as if they were secretly laughing.
"Tsk, you dare to laugh at me?"
Yuzuru snapped his fingers mischievously, "Come on, show your master a talent!"
Oddish grass: "???"
The next second, under the control of Yuzuru Nan's telekinesis, several Oddish were forced to begin their "performance"—some Oddish danced like professional dancers, their short legs rapidly alternating as they stomped the ground, making crisp sounds; others performed acrobatics, trying to balance various small objects on their heads, but occasionally wobbling due to balance problems, which was quite comical.
Ikeba Shizuka couldn't help but chuckle: "You child, all you do is bully them."
"They were the ones who laughed at me first!"
Yuzuru Nanami angrily filed a complaint.
"Walk!" (I'm innocent!)
The Oddish were on the verge of tears. They were just passing by out of curiosity, how did they get dragged into this "performance"? They just wanted to watch the show!
After they had made enough noise, Yuzuru Nan finally let them go.
The Oddish plants were relieved and fled in a panic. One of them even tripped over its own leaf, rolled twice before getting up, fearing that this terrible human would make them perform some strange thing again.
Looking at her disciple's mischievous appearance, Chi Bo Jinghua's eyes were full of doting affection. She gently patted her thigh and said, "Turn around."
"Hmm?" Yu Shengnan blinked in confusion, but still obediently turned around, wanting to look up at his master's beautiful face, but his view was blocked by a cluster of mountains.
The "mountain peaks" were towering and majestic, with beautiful lines, exuding a captivating charm.
However, this is a beautiful landscape in itself.
It is a stunning view that a certain young lady has always longed for but could never have.
Ignoring her disciple's gaze, Ikeba Shizuka took out an exquisite ear-cleaning tool from her kimono sleeve: "I'll clean your ears."
"Yay!"
Yuzuru cheered and immediately lay down obediently.
The cool metal probed into his ear canal, and Yuzuru squinted his eyes in comfort. Ikeba Shizuka's technique was extremely professional, sometimes gently rotating and sometimes lightly flicking outwards.
The most deadly thing was that she would occasionally lean in and blow gently, her orchid-like breath, accompanied by a slight airflow, would enter through the ear canal, and a tingling sensation would instantly spread throughout Yuzuru's body, making him unable to help but hum softly.
"Wow... Master... is so amazing..."
"Don't talk." Ikeba Shizuka gently patted his forehead. "What if you hurt your eardrum?"
Yu Shengnan had no choice but to shut up, but his restless hands quietly wrapped around his master's slender waist. He wasn't told not to speak, but he wasn't told not to use his hands either.
Ikeba Shizuka glanced at him but didn't stop him. However, her movements became even gentler. Even though she knew that her disciple couldn't possibly hurt him with his strength, the beautiful woman still maintained a gentle touch to give her disciple the most comfortable feeling.
