Chapter 518 Encounter at the Slope
Afterwards, Kurama Genjuro told Aize the characteristics and name of the person he was going to pick up.
"My name is Reina Lichtnawa. I'm from Northern Europe. I'm the same age as you. If I transfer here, I should be in the same class with you. Although I'm a foreigner, I'm learning to speak Japanese, so you won't have any problems communicating."
Kurama Genjuro gave a concise introduction that surprised Aize.
"Not only is she a high school student my age, but she's also a girl?"
You know, working in a hotel is not easy at all.
Aize had worked for Shinatoso with Kurama Toko before, and all we can say is that if he hadn't insisted on exercising, he would have been unable to bear it.
Not only is it troublesome to entertain guests, because they are all from foreign countries, there will be some communication barriers. Once the meaning is misunderstood, it may cause trouble and conflict. Even the logistical work is extremely troublesome. It is absolutely impossible not to be exhausted after a day's work.
Although it is thanks to this that Aize was able to develop good foreign language skills, and he will definitely get used to it over time and can even regard it as a part of physical training, but trouble is trouble. Even now, Aize still feels that working in the hotel is very troublesome.
If Zhinaduzhuang was not the property of his grandfather and his mother had invested and held shares, he would have received a share of dividends from this property sooner or later, and that's why Aize was unwilling to come and help during the holidays.
As a result, it was normal for him to be surprised that there were girls of the same age willing to do such a troublesome job.
"Could it be that he was deceived by an unscrupulous agent?"
Aize even started to have such suspicion.
"Stop slandering me. The introducer is an acquaintance of mine, and he also has a relationship with the applicant's family. Otherwise, he wouldn't let a young girl come to a foreign country to work, or even transfer here."
Kurama Genjuro immediately clarified and told Aize that the reason the other party was willing to do this job was that he seemed to like the culture here very much.
Although Aize was still a little skeptical, he knew that his grandfather was not an unscrupulous boss who would cheat people, so he took on the task with some doubts.
The other party will arrive in Hoori in the afternoon, and it is now around seven in the morning. There is plenty of time and there is no need to rush to do anything.
At that moment, Aize ran back home slowly.
On the way, Aize also bought some vegetables and prepared breakfast for himself and Chao Wu Anqing.
But when Aize returned to the Chaowu family, he was somewhat surprised to find that Hitachi Mako had returned.
"Ah, Master Aize."
Hitachi Momoko, who was wiping the table, stood up immediately when she saw Aize coming in.
"Good morning, Master Aize."
She was smiling like a flower, full of energy and vitality. It was obvious that she was not affected by what happened yesterday and seemed to have had a good sleep at home.
"You're here, Hitachi." Aize said in surprise, "Good morning. Since you're here, that means Miss Chao Wu is back too, right?"
As he spoke, Aize subconsciously looked to the other side of the corridor, wanting to see if he could see the sleepy figure.
pity……
"No, Lady Yoshino hasn't come back yet." Hitachi Moko shook her head and said, "She went to bed late last night and probably couldn't get up in the morning. I didn't disturb her and came here by myself."
Speaking of this, Hitachi Mako was also a little amused.
The reason why she brought Yoshino Asatake home was, firstly, to change her mood, and secondly, to give her some advice.
Although her own shrine maiden seems mature and steady, she is actually naive to death. She is like a child in many aspects and is still a little slow in emotions. If possible, Hitachi Mako hopes that she can open her mind a little and not panic in the next matter.
But Hitachi Mako herself has never been in a relationship or dated anyone, so even if she wanted to give some guidance to Asatake Yoshino, she didn't know where to start.
So she simply took out all the girls' comics in her collection at home and let Yoshino Asatake read them by herself.
Her understanding of love also comes from girls' comics.
In this case, Lady Yoshino should also be able to gain inspiration from it.
With this idea in mind, Hitachi Mako shared her collection, which made Asatake Yoshino unable to stop.
This shrine maiden who had never made friends with anyone, let alone socialized with others, was so absorbed in the world of girls' comics that she felt like she had discovered a new world. She was so absorbed in it that she spent the entire night...
Yes, Yoshino Asatake stayed up late reading those shojo comics.
On the other hand, Hitachi Mako fell asleep first, and slept soundly.
As a result, when she woke up and opened her eyes, she immediately saw Yoshino Asatake with dark circles under her eyes, but still reading the girls' comics with bright eyes and full concentration.
This frightened Hitachi Mako so much that she quickly stopped Asatake Yoshino and forced her to go to bed.
Therefore, Asatake Yoshino didn't get up yet, while Hitachi Mako came over first considering that there were still housework waiting for her.
She was not worried that Chao Wu Fang Nao would not be able to find anyone when she woke up, because Cong Yu was still there to look after her.
When Asatake Yoshino wakes up, she will naturally learn from Cong Yu where Hitachi Mako is, and come back with Cong Yu.
"Is that so?" Aize nodded with a rather subtle expression, not knowing whether he felt disappointed or relieved. He then handed the dish in his hand to Hitachi Moko and said, "I just bought this. Since you are here, I'll leave it to you to handle."
"Okay." Hitachi Moko took it without saying anything, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry to bother you. This is obviously my job."
"It's just something that happens, you don't need to worry about it." Aize said nonchalantly: "I'll go take a shower first, you don't need to use the bathroom yet, right?"
"Yes, yes." Hitachi Mako didn't know what she was thinking about, and said with some embarrassment and blushing: "I will clean the bathroom last, Master Aize is free to use it."
After hearing what Hitachi Momoko said, Aize suddenly remembered that this girl also had the habit of taking a shower in the morning.
The difference is that he took a shower after coming back from morning exercise to wash off the sweat, while Hitachi Mako cleaned the bathroom and took a shower at the end after finishing all the housework.
Thanks to this, Aize broke into the bathroom that day without knowing the matter and saw her naked...
Obviously, Hitachi Mako also remembered this incident, so she felt embarrassed and blushed.
Aize also unconsciously turned his gaze to Hitachi Mako's body, and then quickly looked away with an unnatural look on his face.
“…………”
The atmosphere suddenly became a little unbearable.
"I, I'm going to prepare breakfast!"
Hitachi Mako was the first one who couldn't stand it and ran away on the spot.
She was extremely agile. Before she could finish her words, she had disappeared, and Aize could hardly catch up.
"…As expected of a ninja."
Aize could only sigh and walked into the bathroom.
I still have things to do in the afternoon, so I'll finish my homework in the morning.
…………
Afternoon, one o'clock.
After finishing the lunch without Asatake Yoshino, both Asatake Yasuharu and Hitachi Mako went about their own business.
Cong Yu didn't come back either, and Aize was alone again.
However, it is time to do what my grandfather asked me to do.
"They should have arrived, right?" Aize was not sure, and muttered to himself, "I should have gotten their contact information earlier."
Not only was there no contact information, there wasn't even a photo of the person. It was really unreasonable to ask him to come and pick him up.
Kurama Genjuro didn't think it was a big deal.
"There are only a few ways to get to Hoori. Just go to the station and wait, and you'll find your destination."
This is what Kurama Genjurō said.
This is true, so Aize decided to go to the station first.
He put on casual clothes, put the Cong Yu Wan that he had been maintaining and wiping back into the sheath, placed it on the knife rack in the corner of the room, and then walked out of the room.
It seemed that Hitachi Mako was still washing dishes in the kitchen, while Asatake Yasuharu went to the shrine and was not seen anywhere.
Since he had already told Hitachi Mako about picking someone up in advance, Aize didn't need to say hello to her. He just walked out of the Chaowu family and went to the street.
The streets at this time are naturally not as quiet as when the sky is just getting light in the morning, but are bustling with people coming and going, presenting a lively scene.
Foreign tourists who were obviously not from the country kept passing by Aize, and the local residents of Hoori did not notice Aize, who was wearing modern casual clothes and blending in the crowd. Otherwise, according to previous practice, once he was recognized, he would probably be talked about for a while.
Of course, as time went by, Aize, who was walking so openly on the street, was finally recognized by some people.
"Isn't that the miko's...?"
"The one who drew out the divine sword?"
"engagement……"
Aize vaguely heard such words or remarks, which made him frown.
Seeing that a commotion was about to occur, Aize had no choice but to change his route.
"Let's take the small road. If we continue to take the main road, we will be surrounded sooner or later."
To be honest, Aize never expected that he would become so conspicuous in his mother's family.
I still remember that the last time I attracted so much attention was when I participated in the National Kendo Competition as a "Kendo Genius" and made it to the semi-finals.
He was equally eye-catching at that time, and was even frequently faced with cameras. But if we talk about discomfort, he was more uncomfortable this time.
There is no way. Being famous on TV and being famous in your mother's family are two different things. Aize is the type of person who will feel embarrassed in front of acquaintances, but can remain calm in front of strangers and ignore the people and things around him.
Because those people have nothing to do with you, you can ignore their opinions no matter what you do.
But in front of people related to him, Aize would feel uncomfortable.
All I can say is that caring and not caring are two different experiences.
“It’s much better here.”
Aize walked into the alley and found that the number of people around him was getting smaller and smaller, until he was the only one left. He immediately relaxed his shoulders.
Until he came to a slope surrounded by cherry trees.
“Get out of the way—!”
A cry of surprise suddenly came from the top of the ramp, causing Aize to stop as he was about to move forward.
“Waaaaaaa——!”
As the screams turned into wails, Aize saw a figure rushing down from the top of the ramp and heading straight towards him.
“………!”
Aize's eyes narrowed, and when the other party was about to hit him, he took a step without hesitation and suddenly moved to the side.
The man passed by Aize without any time to react or brake, passed through the place where Aize was previously, and continued to rush forward.
Seeing this, Aize almost subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed the other person's clothes from behind at lightning speed.
He wanted to save the other person.
Just looking at the other person's appearance, you can tell that he couldn't stop the car for a moment, so he ran down the slope uncontrollably. His two legs were indeed pushing very fast, but not a single step was willing.
As a conditioned reflex, Aize naturally helped without hesitation.
However, he misjudged the opponent's downward force, and also misjudged the toughness of the opponent's clothes that he was holding.
“Shh!”
With a crisp tearing sound, the other person continued to fly out, and Aize had an extra piece of cloth in his hand... no, two pieces of cloth.
“Bang!”
The figure that continued to move forward fell heavily to the ground, causing Aize to close his eyes instinctively.
“Ouch…it hurts…o(╥﹏╥)o”
After a while, the other person stood up shakily, covering his red forehead, his eyes full of tears.
"Are you okay?"
Aize opened his eyes and prepared to move forward.
But when he opened his eyes and saw the other person's condition, his eyes suddenly widened and he froze there.
"It hurts... I feel like I saw my grandma..."
It seemed that the other party was hit really hard. He had stars in his eyes and was staggering as he walked. He was approaching Aize.
However, the other party was not only staggering when he walked, but other parts of his body were also shaking. The exaggerated and unrealistic scene made Aize's face stiff. He was slow to react and felt that his spirit and soul had suffered a serious shock.
Just when he was feeling extremely confused, the other party finally breathed a sigh of relief, seemed to be a little more conscious, and saw Aize standing in front of him with a stiff face.
"Hmm?" The other party was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "You are...?"
Before the answer to this question was given, the other party saw the two pieces of tattered cloth in Aize's hand.
"Hmm?" The other party was stunned again and asked in confusion: "This dress...why does it look so familiar?"
Just as this question arose, a gust of wind blew by.
The girl felt a chill on her body and looked down blankly...
The next second...
“Aa ...
Screams rang out.
That sound broke through the sky.
