Chapter 508: Just Exercising Together
The next day...
When it was not yet fully light and there was only dim dawn light, Aize got up as usual according to his biological clock.
But this time, Aize did not leave immediately after washing up, but sat in the living room and waited for a while.
"Good morning~"
After a while, the sliding door of the living room was opened, and a soft and lazy greeting came in.
Upon closer inspection, Yoshino Asatake, who was wearing pajamas, was staggering in from the door, looking sleepy.
That scene was exactly the same as the one Aize encountered when he first moved into the Chao Wu family.
Then, Aize smiled.
"Good morning."
Aize greeted Chaowu Yoshinori.
"...Mr. Aize?"
Asatake Yoshino opened her half-closed eyelids and struggled to see Aize's appearance.
"It's me." Seeing this, Aize couldn't help but feel a little playful and said, "You were awesome last night. I'm very happy, okay?"
With just one sentence, Yoshino Asatake was silenced.
“Bang!”
After a while, Asatake Yoshino slapped her cheek hard, causing it to become red and swollen.
"it hurts……"
With two red slap marks on her face, tears flowed from the corners of Chaowu Fangnai's eyes, making people deeply realize how ruthless the other party was in that slap just now.
"...Are you okay?" Aize's mouth twitched slightly, and he said speechlessly: "Don't tell me, you really have a tendency to self-abuse, right?"
"No, I'm not!" Asatake Yoshino said tearfully, "That's what I said, right? I just didn't want to look inappropriate in front of Mr. Aize!"
"But you're trying too hard, aren't you?"
"Thank you for your reminder. I regret it now."
Asatake Yoshino rubbed her cheeks, wiped away her tears, and finally cheered herself up.
"Anyway, good morning, and I'm grateful for your guidance today."
Asatake Yoshinori bowed deeply to Aize.
"After all, it's something we've already agreed on." Aize smiled and said, "Go wash up and change your clothes first, then come over."
"Okay." Asatake Yoshino said quickly, "I'll hurry up."
Having said that, Chaowu Fangnai walked quickly towards the bathroom.
Looking at Yoshino Chaowu like this, Cong Yu, who had been following Aize since he woke up, finally recovered from his dazed state.
"What's going on, Master?" Cong Yu asked in surprise, "Why did Fang Nai get up so early? Did you guys agree to do something?"
Looking at the conversation just now, Cong Yu could only think so.
"That's about right." Aize didn't hide anything. While drinking water, he said, "From today on, Miss Chao Wu will train with us."
Last night, when Aize suggested exercising together, although Asatake Yoshino couldn't help but be stunned, she soon felt excited again.
She didn't want to continue to feel so powerless, and she didn't want to be a useless burden anymore.
In that case, maybe it would be a good idea to get up early and exercise with Aize?
Thinking of this, Asatake Yoshino agreed decisively and made an appointment with Aize to get up and meet up together.
"That Fang Nai actually wants to train with the master?" After Cong Yu learned what happened, instead of feeling relieved, he became even more surprised and muttered, "When did you two develop to the point where you can do this kind of thing together?"
Cong Yu, who didn't know about the conversation between Aize and Asatake Yoshino yesterday, was confused by the result.
"It's just a workout together, don't think too much about it."
Seeing that the other person looked trance-like, Aize immediately reached out and knocked on her forehead.
"It hurts! Bad master!"
Cong Yu covered his forehead in pain and glared at Aize.
The two of them were playing around in the living room, waiting for Yoshino Asatake to arrive.
As she said, Yoshino Asatake did not waste much time. She quickly changed into clothes that were convenient for her to move in and left the Asatake family with Aize.
"Warm up first and move your body around."
Aize took Yoshino Asatake with him as if he was a junior who was learning from him.
"OK."
Yoshino Asatake had completely lost her usual coldness and aloofness, and became like a well-behaved student, doing whatever Aize asked her to do.
After completing the warm-up exercises, Aize discussed with Asatake Yoshino what they were going to do next.
"Considering that today is your first time to participate in morning exercise, we will narrow the scope and run around some not-so-complicated streets in Hoori. The final destination is Umegawa College, which is about ten kilometers away." Aize said to the somewhat nervous and excited Asatake Yoshino, "Ten kilometers of jogging is still quite tiring for a girl, but considering your own condition, this should be just the right amount."
Why do I say so?
Because even though Yoshino Asatake belittled herself to the point of being worthless, she actually had very good physical strength.
She has been practicing the Dance of Offering since she was a child, which requires quite a bit of exercise. She also often needs to go up the mountain to fight evil spirits. She has walked that mountain road at least a thousand times. If she persists for such a long time, her physical strength will naturally not be too bad, and may even be much better than that of ordinary men of the same age.
This is also the reason why Yoshino Asatake danced such a long dance of dedication, with such standard and intense movements, but did not even breathe after finishing the dance.
The same was true when they were going up the mountain. Even though the mountain road was so rugged and the terrain was not very good, Asatake Yoshino was able to keep up with Aize without blushing until they met the evil spirit. This was also a proof that Asatake Yoshino had great physical strength.
Therefore, although it was the first time for Aize to participate in morning exercises, Aize did not intend to show mercy and directly arranged a ten-kilometer jogging class for Chaowu Yoshino.
"Just follow me."
Aize ended with these words and immediately started running.
"yes!"
He nodded heavily to Takeyoshino and followed Aize without hesitation.
The two of them were almost running side by side. Even though Chao Wu Fangnai lagged behind, he was not too far away from Aize. So when they looked from afar, they actually felt like a pair, running in and out together.
"…If this isn't a real marriage, it wouldn't make sense, right?"
Cong Yu had been watching silently from the sidelines, and seeing how well matched the two were, this thought popped up in his mind.
"Well... I won't bother them anymore. Let's give the young people some time and space to develop their feelings."
Cong Yu laughed very tactfully, and then disappeared like a mirage.
Neither Aize nor Yoshino Asatake noticed this situation. They ran out of Kenjiro Shrine side by side and ran towards the street of Hoori.
Because it was not yet fully light, the streets of Hoori were basically deserted, as if the entire street was occupied by Aize and Asatake Yoshino, giving the two a sense of freedom.
"So this is Hoori's morning?"
It seemed that this was the first time that Yoshino Asatake saw such a scene, and she couldn't help but murmur.
"You haven't been out at this time?"
Aize matched Asatake Yoshino's pace, running and talking as usual as if he was strolling in the garden.
"No." Asatake Yoshino answered truthfully, "Father often gets up very early to go to the shrine to work. Even if I get up early, I stay at the shrine and don't have much chance to go out."
Yoshino Asatake's life is quite monotonous.
Because they understand her rough fate, both Asatake Yasuharu and Hitachi Mako are very accommodating to her and will not let her do chores or housework, allowing Asatake Yoshino to really live a life similar to that of a princess.
Therefore, when Yoshino Asatake was not working or going to school, she would either stay at the shrine to practice the dedication dance or stay at home to review her lessons and do her homework. Apart from that, she did not have to do anything and did not know how to do anything.
She has no friends and has always been alone. In addition, due to her special status, she naturally has no chance to go out and play with others.
Therefore, Yoshino Asatake had no chance to see the street scene in the early morning when it was not yet fully bright.
"If I plan to go out at this time, my father will definitely let Mozi follow me, right?" Asatake Yoshino said with mixed emotions: "Even if I say I want to do something alone, my father and Mozi will be very worried."
What Asatake Yoshino meant was that for this reason, she didn't want to do anything that would make people around her worry.
In view of this, although the Asatake family has no curfew, Asatake Yoshino goes out at a safe time every day and never stays outside for too long, let alone goes out at a time when she might encounter danger.
Of course, this does not apply when evil spirits appear.
When the evil spirit appears, no matter how late it is, Asatake Yoshino will go up the mountain with Hitachi Mako to fight in the dangerous mountains.
"So, neither Mr. Anqing nor Hitachi knew about you coming out with me today?"
Aize raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, what's the problem?"
He looked at Takefusa Yoshino with a puzzled look, which made Aize laugh.
"No, it's not something shameful anyway." Aize said: "Stop talking, adjust your breathing, and don't mess up your rhythm."
"OK."
The two stopped talking and ran silently, running through one street after another.
As the time spent running increased and the distance covered increased, Asatake Yoshino's breathing inevitably became faster.
Especially when she ran about five kilometers, Asatake Yoshino's breathing was completely out of control, her rhythm was completely messed up, and sweat was pouring out of her forehead.
When she ran eight kilometers, Yoshino Asatake began to become breathless and sweaty, and she showed signs of physical exhaustion.
"persist in."
Aize was still the same as at the beginning, as if he was not affected at all.
With his encouragement, Asatake Yoshino gritted her teeth and tried her best to persevere.
Finally, when the day dawned, the building of Umegawa Academy appeared in front of Yoshino Asatake.
The final destination, finally arrived.
