Chapter 513: Simply Considering This Matter
Because tomorrow is Saturday, a day off, I only need to attend half a day of classes today.
Not only are there two days off a week, but school may also end early the day before the day off depending on the situation. Such a relaxed curriculum, really... Aize almost cried to death.
After saying hello to Kurama Rentaro and others, Aize left with Asatake Yoshino and Hitachi Mako as usual under the gaze of everyone, and walked towards the Asatake family.
However, along the way, Aize and the others once again received great attention. Some people even came up to say hello and asked them some nonchalant words, which made the three of them fully realize that the impact of this incident was still expanding.
When the three of them arrived at Chao Wu's house, there was actually a group of guests who were just about to leave and they met them.
Chao Wu Anqing, Aize and the others looked at each other and then smiled bitterly.
“We can’t go on like this.”
Cong Yu, who happened to be at home and had not gone out for a walk, was the first to express his feelings and said something with a sigh.
"The matter between the Master and Yoshino has spread faster than expected. If we don't find a way to calm it down, it may cause trouble to everyone's lives."
This is the conclusion Cong Yu, who had been strolling outside when he had nothing to do, came to after observing the day.
Therefore, she believes that they cannot sit idly by and watch this matter continue to expand its influence.
"Why is this happening?" Asatake Yoshino said, a little tired and confused, "I know everyone is concerned about my engagement, but isn't it a little strange to have such a commotion?"
Anyway, Chao Wufang felt that it was a bit too much.
"Was it the same at that time, Mr. An Qing?"
Hitachi Mako asked, referring to the matter between Asatake Yasuharu and Asatake Yoshino's mother, the previous generation of shrine maiden.
"Indeed, Qiu Sui and I caused quite a stir at that time, but that was after the engagement was officially announced." Chao Wu Anqing smiled bitterly, "Everyone teased us and made fun of us, but they all sincerely wished us well, and it calmed down soon after."
This time, everyone is trying their best to find out the truth and want to know the accurate answer.
However, because it was Yoshinori Chaowu's personal wish, Aize, Anqing Chaowu and others could not say it clearly and could only find ways to perfunctorily deal with it.
But this obviously failed to satisfy everyone, so much so that many people paid more attention and care about this matter, and even took action.
As a result, the riots were not quelled, but became more and more intense.
"It should also have something to do with the owner himself, right?" Cong Yu added, "He pulled out the divine sword that Suizhi had always worshipped. This has never happened before, so it attracted a lot of attention at the beginning."
"We welcomed the master back home. He has been going in and out with Fang Nai all day long. This cannot be hidden from others."
"So, everyone wants to know what kind of special treatment the owner of the divine sword will receive, and will it be because of this that he will be married to the miko of Hoori?"
In a nutshell, two things that were originally receiving great attention were suddenly mixed together, creating an effect where one plus one was greater than two, making more people curious and paying attention.
If they could get a perfect answer, the matter could be settled, but everyone was reluctant to give an answer, which naturally made many people anxious.
"No." Hitachi Moko also realized the seriousness of the matter and said, "If this continues, it might really cause trouble for everyone."
"…I'm sorry." Asatake Yoshino said somewhat frustratedly, "It's all because of my willfulness that things turned out like this."
She didn't want to announce the engagement in order not to cause trouble for Aize, but it ended up causing even greater commotion and trouble. This was completely putting the cart before the horse.
This made Yoshino Asatake very frustrated.
She felt that she had been failing in recent times and had been doing bad things with good intentions.
In order to prevent Aize from being involved in her family affairs, she unilaterally rejected him, but this resulted in him being seriously injured.
In order not to cause trouble for Aize, she advocated not to announce the engagement, but this led to everyone being involved in the commotion.
All these events and the final developments were telling Yoshino Asatake that she had done something wrong.
"I was wrong, too." He sighed and said, "I underestimated the impact this engagement might have."
After all, this was a unilateral decision he made in order to improve his daughter's interpersonal relationships.
At that time, I only wanted to save my daughter from suffering. Who would have thought it would turn out like this?
"Well, now is not the time for you two to blame yourselves. It is more important to find a way to calm the situation down."
Hitachi Mako's words of comfort temporarily cheered up Asatake Yoshino and Asatake Yasuharu.
"Just announce it." Cong Yu said bluntly: "It's not something shameful anyway, just tell everyone in Suizhi that our master is getting engaged to Yoshino, right?"
As long as everyone gets an answer that satisfies everyone, this matter will at most cause a sensation for a while and then die down. It will not continue to expand its impact like it is now.
“I think this is not bad.”
Chao Wu Anqing responded immediately, as if he had wanted to do this for a long time.
Of course, he couldn't hear Cong Yu's voice, but Hitachi Mako conveyed Cong Yu's meaning.
So, Chao Wu Anqing looked at his daughter and asked.
"What do you think, Yoshino?"
"I..." Yoshino Asatake was distressed and hesitant.
She no longer dared to make a decision rashly.
"Say something, Master!" Cong Yu was furious when she saw Aize sitting there drinking tea leisurely. She said in great dissatisfaction, "This is your engagement with Fang Nai, right? What do you think?"
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Aize.
Aize was still drinking tea leisurely and only spoke after a while.
"If you ask me, announcing the engagement under these circumstances will only make Miss Chao Wu and I lose face in the end." Aize said calmly: "This is not something that will be fulfilled. If it is announced under such high-profile circumstances, what will happen if Miss Chao Wu and I do not intend to fulfill the engagement in the future?"
"By then, I'm afraid all the people in Suizhi will start to quarrel and cause an even bigger commotion."
If the marriage contract could cause such a big stir, how could the sensation be small if it was cancelled later?
I’m afraid that by then, not to mention him, even the Chao Wu family will be seriously affected.
"It would be better to deny the existence of the engagement from the beginning." Aize said calmly: "This so-called engagement is inherently unstable and there is no future for it to be realized."
"Not only do I feel it's unreal, but I still don't think it will be fulfilled. Miss Chaowu has always insisted that the engagement is just a temporary measure. Will it be cancelled in the future?"
"In that case, why should we acknowledge its existence?"
"Even if we want to announce it, we should announce that the engagement is just a rumor, and it won't get to the point where we both feel embarrassed in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Aize's implication was very clear, he felt that this engagement should not have existed from the beginning.
What's the point of an engagement that even the main messenger (Asahuka Asatake) doesn't think will be fulfilled?
Just to allow Aize to stay in the Chaowu family and eat and drink for free?
Not really?
"I think we should just cancel this engagement." Aize looked at Chao Wu Anqing and said, "This way we can make it public. The engagement is completely false, right?"
Chao Wu Anqing remained silent, and his face became sad for some reason.
Cong Yu and Hitachi Moko were also silent.
At this moment, a loud voice came from the side.
"…Sorry, I have to leave for a while."
Asatake Yoshino lowered her head and left angrily for some unknown reason.
Seeing this, Aize was stunned.
"What happened to her?"
Aize looked confused.
Cong Yu and the others looked at each other, all of them speechless.
"I'll go and take a look."
Hitachi Mako stood up with a wry smile, quickly followed Asatake Yoshino and left the living room.
"Well, let me go out first." Cong Yu floated up and said to Chao Wu Anqing: "Anqing, your idea is good, but because it happened too suddenly, it seems that our master has not taken it seriously until now."
"Let's find a way to resolve this matter before the commotion outside is resolved."
"Otherwise, it won't be a good thing for either the master or Fang Nai."
Unfortunately, Chao Wu Anqing couldn't hear these words at all.
Yoshino Asatake and Mako Hitachi were not there, so only Aize could hear her words at the scene, but he just frowned and did not convey these words to Yasuharu Asatake.
"...I am leaving now."
Cong Yu floated away angrily, and even walked through the wall. Unlike calming down, he disappeared on the spot.
It can be seen that this girl was also angry.
Suddenly, only Aize and Chao Wu Anqing were left at the scene.
The two of them sat opposite each other, making the atmosphere seem a little dull.
"It seems that I said something unpleasant."
Aize was somewhat aware of something, pursed his lips and murmured.
"This is not your fault." He sighed slightly and said, "It's all my fault. I unilaterally decided this matter without your consent."
"Also, the reason I told you last time for the engagement seems to have had an impact on you, making you feel that this was a helpless move I made to improve Fang Nai's interpersonal relationships, causing you, Ai Jun, to not take the engagement seriously."
“This is all my problem.”
Chao Wu Anqing took all the responsibilities, but said something to Aize.
"But, Ai Jun, can you please seriously consider the matter of engagement from now on?" He showed a very serious look to Wu Anqing and said sincerely: "Don't consider any other external factors, just consider the matter of engagement."
"Have you ever thought about marrying Yoshino?"
This sentence made Aize fall into silence.
