Chapter 485: Overly Depressing Atmosphere
Thinking of taking a bath, Aize's mind kept appearing the image of the other person naked.
The beautiful sight of rosy white skin and invincible youth has been deeply engraved in Aize's mind, so much so that he couldn't help but take a cold shower just now, in order to avoid getting too angry in broad daylight and making a fool of himself in front of girls.
In order to avoid appearing too wanton, Aize coughed dryly and used the topic to divert his attention.
"Although the idea that every generation of shrine maidens were trained to protect the Asatake family may sound a bit unrealistic in this era, I do believe you when you say you are a guard."
Therefore, Aize did not doubt Hitachi Mako's family background.
"My master accepts it really quickly."
Cong Yu had already returned and understood what had happened, and said these words.
“………”
Asatake Yoshino changed into casual clothes and sat on the other side, looking silent.
Although she remained silent the entire time, being pretty did have its advantages. Even though Yoshino Asatake was just sitting there, her presence was quite noticeable, and people couldn't help but look at her.
Yoshino Asatake's casual clothes are also very beautiful. The upper body is a light yellow long-sleeved coat, and the lower body is a blue-purple skirt. There is a black inner wear under the long-sleeved coat, so that the black sleeves can be clearly seen on the exposed sleeves of the arms, and even the feet are wearing black tights.
Yoshino Asatake's hairstyle has also changed. Her snow-white hair is tied into a side ponytail with a red bow accessory. It is different from when she was wearing a shrine maiden costume. It is less sacred and more down-to-earth.
Unfortunately, this overly beautiful witch always had a cold face and gave off an aura that made her difficult to approach and talk to, which made Wu Anqing sigh repeatedly when she looked at her.
As for Aize, he naturally didn't have the habit of trying to please someone he didn't like, so he ignored this nominal fiancée and only spoke to her bodyguard.
Cong Yu's words also elicited an indifferent response from Aize.
"Because she is really good at it."
This is not Aize deliberately praising others, but he really thinks so.
Although he did not have a suitable weapon at that time and could not bring out his greatest advantages and strengths, and his strength was greatly reduced, he was after all a person who had learned many fighting skills and trained since childhood. Even if you search the entire country for people of the same age who can fight on equal terms with Aize, there are probably not many.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the National Kendo Tournament that Aize participated in last year. The kendo genius from a well-known kendo school who he met in the finals could only unfortunately win the runner-up. It is estimated that her strength is not as strong as Hitachi Mako.
Therefore, when Hitachi Mako said that she was a guard trained since childhood, Aize believed it.
"No, no, no, Master Aize's skills are really good, or rather too good." Hitachi Moko quickly shook her head and waved her hands, saying half modestly and half sincerely: "Although he is recognized by Mu Yuwan, I really didn't expect that Master Yoshino's fiancé is so powerful."
After hearing this, Asatake Yoshino finally stopped being silent and spoke in protest.
"He's not my fiancé..."
Unfortunately, her protest was ignored by everyone present.
"Is Lord Aize descended from a famous martial arts family?"
Hitachi Mako asked with some curiosity.
"Ai-kun is the grandson of Genjuro-san, so he is also a relative of the Kurama family, right?"
Asatake Yasuharu responded to Hitachi Mako's question.
"So you are Mr. Xuanjuro's disciple?" Hitachi Moko seemed to understand and said suddenly, "That's not surprising."
Everyone in Hoori knew that Kurama Genjuro was a kendo master, and Hitachi Mako understood it as soon as she heard it.
"Anyway, it's good that the misunderstanding can be resolved." Cong Yu said with a sly smile: "Master, or Mozi, you probably don't want to talk about what happened back then, right?"
"So, let's end this matter here."
Cong Yu's sly behavior made Aize and Hitachi Moko look at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.
Especially Hitachi Mako, when she thought about the fact that she was seen naked by her master's fiancé, her face turned red and she wished she could find a crack to crawl into.
Now, she just felt uncomfortable all over. Whenever Aize looked at her, she would feel itchy all over, as if she was still naked.
(Although I am a female ninja, I don’t want to contribute this aspect to my male master.)
Hitachi Mako was going crazy in her heart.
"Um... I'm really sorry."
Seeing that Hitachi Mako looked ashamed, Aize, as the person who actually took advantage of her, decided to apologize.
"No... So that was actually my fault. I forgot about the extremely important matter of Lady Yoshino's fiancé moving into this house." Hitachi Moko laughed a few times, then said shyly, "Like Lady Cong Yu said, let's end this matter here. Please don't mention it again, Lord Aize."
There's no way, it's just too embarrassing.
"If you can let it go, I naturally have no reason to object." Aize spread his hands, smiled, and then asked: "By the way, can Miss Hitachi also see Cong Yu?"
"Please just call me Mozi." Hitachi Mozi suppressed the shame in her heart and said, "Because my ancestor..."
Hitachi Mako was not able to finish her words.
Because Yoshino Asatake finally stopped keeping silent.
"No need to be so clear with Mr. Aize, Mozi."
Yoshino Asatake directly interrupted Hitachi Mako's words, and her words sounded a bit ruthless, making the atmosphere on the scene become a lot colder.
"Fang Nai." Chao Wu Anqing said as if she had a headache: "Ai Jun has already moved into our house, and at least nominally he has become your fiancé. It is necessary to let him know some of the most basic things, right?"
This is what Asatake Yasuharu said, but Asatake Yoshino's attitude was firm.
"Father also said that we are only an engaged couple in name only. Neither Mr. Aize nor I have any plans to get married in the future. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles when we separate in the future, shouldn't we try to prevent him from knowing too many things he shouldn't know?"
Yoshino Asatake seemed to have always thought so.
She didn't want to involve Aize in her family affairs, so she decided to keep it confidential and not let Aize get too involved.
But others don't think so.
"You are too stubborn, Fang Nai." Cong Yu sighed and said, "No matter what, the master is the one who pulled out the Cong Yu Pill. He is qualified to know some things. It is really not good to keep him in the dark."
"Um... Lady Yoshino, I think what Lady Aize said should be fine." Hitachi Moko also expressed her opinion, saying, "With such high skills, if we also have a divine sword like Cong Yuwan in our hands, it will be a great help to us, right?"
"If we can get the help of Lord Aize, then our long-cherished wish may be realized..."
Before Hitachi Mako could finish her words, she was interrupted by Asatake Yoshino again.
"No, that's our own business. We can't selfishly involve others!" Asatake Yoshino's attitude was still very firm. She said, "Mr. Aize is just an ordinary student who came to my mother's hotel to help during the holidays. Because of the matter of pulling out Cong Yuwan, he had to be kept by us. He had to live in an unfamiliar place and had to transfer to another school. He couldn't even see his parents. This has already caused him a lot of trouble."
"We have already caused a lot of trouble for others, and we shouldn't cause them more trouble."
Yoshino Asatake's remarks left Musume, Mako Hitachi and Yasuharu Asatake speechless.
Because, to some extent, this is indeed true.
certainly……
"Isn't that why An Qing married her daughter to the master?" Cong Yu whispered, "Since they're already engaged, Fangnai, why don't you just marry them? It won't be a problem, right?"
After these words were spoken, Asatake Yoshino almost couldn't maintain the serious expression on her face.
"Lord Cong Yu! Please don't whisper there!" Chao Wu Fangnai glared at Cong Yu and said, "Please cooperate with me and don't do anything unnecessary!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Cong Yu looked helpless and said, "Really? This is a matter concerning your life and property. Why are you so stubborn?"
"Father and Mozi, too. Don't say weird things in front of Mr. Aize." Tomotake Yoshino said this firmly. She turned to Aize, who had been sitting there quietly without even changing his expression, and said, "Mr. Aize just needs to live an ordinary life in Hoori and don't explore those dangerous things."
Hearing this, Aize's expression remained calm, as if he was not affected by Asatake Yoshino at all.
"It's time for breakfast."
He had no intention of discussing the matter, just as he had not heard the conversation between Yoshino Asatake and the others. He just said this lightly.
This attitude made the already cold atmosphere in the living room drop to freezing point in an instant.
"I'll go get breakfast!"
As if to ease the atmosphere, Hitachi Mako stood up loudly on purpose.
"Let me help."
Asatake Yasuharu sighed again, but soon returned to his gentle and smiling appearance and stood up with Hitachi Mako.
"Then I will continue to stroll outside."
Cong Yu flew up and left.
She couldn't eat, nor did she need to eat. If she stayed, she would just stand there and watch. Not only would she be unable to do anything, but it would also make people who could see her feel uncomfortable. So whenever the Chaowu family had dinner, she would go out.
However, this time, even though Cong Yu was not there, the meal at the Chaowu family still made Hitachi Moko and Chaowu Yasuharu extremely uncomfortable.
Because Aize and Asatake Yoshino had no intention of talking the whole time, they just ate there silently. One of them had a calm face and the other had a cold attitude, which made the atmosphere very cold.
Even though Asatake Yasuharu and Hitachi Mako deliberately gave up their seats to let the two sit together, Aize and Asatake Yoshino did not communicate with each other even once throughout the whole process, and they did not even make eye contact, as if the other party did not exist at all. They did not look like an engaged couple at all, but rather like an old couple who are about to get divorced.
“…Isn’t this okay?”
"No."
Hitachi Mako and Asatake Yasuharu looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
The breakfast ended in this overly depressing atmosphere.
…………
After the meal, Yoshino Asatake left immediately.
She also needs to practice dancing, which is her compulsory course every day, so no one can keep up with her.
Hitachi Mako stayed at Asatake's house to do housework, while Asatake Yasuharu had to go out to talk to some old people in Hoori Town.
Cong Yu did not come back after breakfast and no one knew where he went.
Aize went back to the room and fiddled with his phone for a while, but soon gave up because of boredom.
He doesn't have many friends and doesn't need to keep in touch with people online. Mobile phones these days are not smart phones that can play multiple mobile games, so he can't play with his phone for long at home.
This is a remote countryside with few entertainment programs and even few TV programs, so Aize can't find anything to pass the time.
"I wonder what Rentaro and Koharu are doing now..."
Aize was so quiet that he decided not to stay in the shrine anymore.
"By the way, Sister Luhua is working in her own dessert shop now, right?"
Do you want to go and have a look?
Aize thought for less than a second and made a decision.
"Let's go and have a look."
So, Aize left the Kenshi Shrine and went out onto the street again.
…………
At this time, the streets of Hoori have become lively again.
Although it is not as lively as yesterday's Spring Festival, tourists can still be seen everywhere, making the streets full of people coming and going. Combined with the hawking sounds from the surrounding stalls, it still seems so lively.
Once again stepping onto this Japanese-style street known as "Little Kyoto", Aize is no longer dragging a suitcase. It is obvious at first glance that he has just arrived in Hoori Town. Instead, he has perfectly integrated into the street scene and looks like a local resident.
He was not wearing any clothes typical of Hoori Town, as he was not used to wearing kimonos.
However, Aize, who was wearing modern casual clothes, also attracted the attention of many people.
"That's him, isn't it?"
"The one who pulled out the divine sword..."
"I heard that he has moved into the Kenji Shrine."
"Doesn't that mean he is living with the miko?"
"Could it be true, as the rumors say, that Mr. An Qing is planning to take him as his son-in-law?"
"The one who pulled out the divine sword...will he marry the miko-sama?"
“I think they’re a good match!”
Aize vaguely heard such discussions, which made him feel helpless.
"Has it spread?"
As expected of a remote rural area, news spreads quickly.
Muttering this, Aize followed his childhood memories and came to a Japanese dessert shop called "Tanxinya".
This is Ma Ting Luhua’s dessert shop.
