Chapter 484: The pillar-like existence of the Chaowu family
Maybe he slapped her really hard, and a red slap mark appeared on Yoshino Asatake's cheek.
Aize looked at this scene, his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but take a step back and said something.
"Masochistic tendencies?"
"No!" Asatake Yoshino's face instantly turned red with anger, and she said, "I just don't want to look indecent in front of the guests!"
"That's understandable." Aize blinked, looked at the slap mark on Asatake Yoshino's face, and said, "But you didn't have to use so much force, did you?"
Thanks for your reminder, I regret it now.
Asatake Yoshinori took a deep breath, suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and then said something.
"Please ignore what happened just now and let's start over." Asatake Yoshino seemed to have returned to the way she was yesterday, and said coldly and seriously: "Good morning, Mr. Aize."
"Well, good morning." Aize didn't care about Chaowu Fangnai's coldness, as if he was treating a stranger, or in other words, responding to the other person's attitude, and said: "Mr. An Qing said that we can have breakfast later. Miss Chaowu should go wash up and change clothes first, and then come over."
After saying that, Aize walked towards the bathroom without waiting for Asatake Yoshinori's response.
Yoshino Asatake really wanted to say, shouldn't these words be said by herself, the host?
Am I the master here?
Unfortunately, Aize had already left, and Asatake Yoshino could no longer pretend to be cold.
After taking a complicated look at Aize's departing back, he turned to Wu Fangno, went into the bathroom and started washing up.
Aize went back to the room first, picked up the casual clothes he was going to wear today and the clothes he took off yesterday, and then went to the bathroom, preparing to wash the clothes he took off yesterday and the sportswear that was already stained with sweat while taking a shower.
“Swish!”
Aize, who had already figured out the layout of the Chaowu family, did not hesitate. After arriving at the bathroom, he immediately opened the door.
“————!”
At this moment, something seemed to move in the bathroom.
“Boom!”
Aize only felt a flash before his eyes, and then suddenly a log fell from mid-air and hit the ground, causing a muffled sound.
"What's this?"
Aize stared blankly at the log rolling on the floor, unable to react for a moment.
But soon, Aize's expression changed.
Because he felt someone approaching from behind.
Speed, very fast.
"Don't move."
A cold voice sounded from behind, and before that voice sounded, a sharp object was placed at his neck.
Aize didn't see clearly who was behind him, but he didn't even need to look at the sharp object pointing towards his neck. He judged its appearance from the noise it made when it cut through the air.
It was a sharp weapon with two blades, about the same length as a dagger.
Naturally, such a sharp weapon was pointed at the neck, which was a vital point, and this was a situation that Aize would never allow to happen.
So, when the cold voice sounded, Aize also moved.
He quickly threw away the clothes in his hand, without looking back, and quickly wrapped the clothes around the hand that was holding the sharp weapon against his neck, strangling it tightly and pulling it hard.
“………!?”
The person behind him didn't seem to expect Aize to launch such a quick counterattack. By the time he reacted, his arms had been entangled by clothes, and he was pulled over and hit Aize's back.
Aize only felt something extremely soft hitting his back with force, and then he grabbed the other person's overly slender hand and threw him over his shoulder.
"call!"
The sound of wind blew, and the person behind Aize was thrown to the ground mercilessly, about to fall to the ground.
However, the opponent seemed to be no pushover either. He was extremely agile and twisted his body hard before falling to the ground. He actually wrapped his legs around Aize's neck and clamped his head.
"ha!"
With a delicate cry, the opponent twisted his body again and actually threw Aize out.
Aize felt dizzy and adjusted his body before his head hit the ground. He pressed one hand on the ground, somersaulted, and stood firmly on his feet.
It was not until then that Aize saw the full appearance of the person who suddenly attacked him.
That person was actually a young girl with long black hair that fell past her shoulders, about the same age as Aize and Asatake Yoshino.
The girl has outstanding looks, fair skin, beautiful facial features and heroic spirit. Unlike the weak-looking Asatake Yoshino, her eyes are sharp and determined.
Aize was stunned for a moment because of the other person's extraordinary appearance, and then his face became stiff.
There is no other reason.
This beautiful girl who looks extremely unfamiliar is now completely naked.
Yes.
She didn't even have any clothes on.
The bust, which was considered very outstanding for people of the same age, and the waist and hips with clear curves were all seen by Aize from head to toe.
It can be said that the secret that a woman must never reveal to the public was seen clearly by Aize at this moment.
“Hmm…!”
The girl seemed to be aware of this situation. Her face showed an uncontrollable wavering at first. Then she immediately picked up the shirt that Aize had dropped on the ground and put it on in 0.1 seconds, covering the most critical parts.
Although it was just a top, the hem of Aize's top was long enough to cover the girl's thighs, which was enough to cover her modesty.
“You…!”
After doing all this, the girl rushed forward in anger, the sharp object in her hand flashing coldly under the light.
It was clearly a kunai.
The girl holding the kunai was still incredibly fast. She quickly shortened the distance between her and Aize and swung the kunai in her hand.
“Swish!”
With a sound of wind cutting, the kunai passed in front of Aize who was retreating hastily, cutting off a strand of his bangs and sending it floating to the ground.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
The girl was very agile. When her first attack failed, she immediately launched several more attacks. Each attack was so fast that an ordinary person would only see a flash of cold light passing by their eyes and would not be able to react at all.
Fortunately, Aize is not an ordinary person. Although it was a bit dangerous, he still managed to avoid the girl's kunai in the narrow room by turning sideways, ducking, and rolling.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, Aize had realized something, and he asked this question while struggling with the girl.
"I should be the one saying this!"
The girl seemed like a victim, but also like a guardian of her own territory. After being questioned by Aize, she became even angrier and rushed over without saying a word.
However, this time Aize was already prepared. He moved his hand and threw a black object at the girl.
The girl was startled and subconsciously swung the kunai in her hand, cutting the incoming object.
That was the log pile that Aize saw at the very beginning.
It turned out that when Aize was rolling to avoid the girl's kunai, he picked up a log on the ground.
The girl cut the incoming log, but it gave Aize a chance to counterattack.
Aize pushed his feet on the slippery floor and unexpectedly burst out at a speed faster than the girl. As the log was cut in half, he rushed out from behind the log and got in front of the girl.
"you……!?"
The girl looked at Aize who was so close to her, her face suddenly changed and she quickly stepped back.
Unexpectedly, Aize's target was not her at all.
I saw Aize suddenly grabbing the girl's hand holding the kunai, moving his arm and twisting it, and actually took the kunai from the girl's hand.
After taking away the kunai and holding this sharp weapon, Aize's eyes changed.
At this moment, Aize seemed like a different person, his eyes were as sharp as a sword.
The feeling he gave people also completely changed. The atmosphere around him became extremely terrifying, as if he was emitting some kind of murderous aura. It was as if he had instantly transformed from a harmless human being into a god who looked down on the world.
The girl was shocked by this scene and her heart trembled violently.
In the girl's feeling, Aize with and without a weapon are completely two different people, which makes her eyes tremble.
By the time she came to her senses, Aize had already grabbed her neck and pushed her against the wall.
"Don't move."
Just like the girl's opening remarks at the beginning, Aize gave a warning in a cold voice.
"It's just my palm on your neck now, but believe me, if I want, it won't take even a second, and the next moment, it will be this thing on your neck."
Aize raised the kunai in his other hand and said so.
It was just that, but the girl had a hunch.
That is, nothing the other party said was false.
As long as the opponent wants, it won't take even a second for the kunai to reach his throat and cut it at any time.
The kunai fell into the opponent's hands and it seemed to have transformed into a magical weapon, which brought a strong threat and shadow of death to the girl.
"There are still people using this kind of weapon in this era?"
The kunai in Aize's hand seemed to come alive, dancing flexibly in the opponent's hand, like a ballpoint pen, being smoothly rotated between the opponent's palms.
"Are you the ninja who sneaked into the Kenshi Shrine? Who sent you?"
It was unclear whether Aize was joking or serious when he said this, causing the girl to bite her lip and glare at him.
"You are the one. Who sent you here?" the girl asked, "What is your purpose in invading the Kenji Shrine and the Asatake family?"
Looking at the girl glaring at him and questioning him as if it was a matter of course, Aize had already made some guesses about her identity, and now the accuracy of this guess has increased to 80%.
At that moment, Aize introduced himself.
"I'm not an intruder. Although it's only temporary and not confirmed yet, I can be considered as the successor here."
Aize didn't give the other party a chance to refute or doubt, and said it directly.
"My name is Aize, and I just moved in here yesterday. I can be considered the shrine maiden here and the fiancé of Yoshino Asatake."
After these words were spoken, the girl who was originally glaring at Aize was stunned.
"Master Fang Nai's fiancé?" The girl opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "You, you are Master Aize?"
"It seems that you know me." Aize released his hand that was pinching the girl's neck, handed the spinning kunai in his hand to her, and said, "It seems that you are not an intruder. This must be a misunderstanding, right?"
Hearing this, the other party nodded quickly and took the kunai handed over by Aize with great fear.
Before the other party could say anything, footsteps were heard outside the bathroom.
Someone who noticed the commotion here came over.
…………
Fifteen minutes later, in the living room.
Under the chairmanship of Asatake Yasuharu, the whole incident was explained and the misunderstanding was resolved.
"I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry!"
The girl, who was just wearing a men's shirt, has changed into the characteristic casual clothes of Suori, a kimono with a white background and red edges, a yellow-brown belt around her waist, a light green lining inside, and shorts on her lower body. She is constantly bowing to Aize to apologize.
"I thought it was a thief who sneaked in here, but I didn't expect it to be Lord Aize. I'm so sorry!"
Hearing this, Aize scratched his cheek and said with a bitter smile.
"I should be the one to say sorry. I should have knocked on the door before entering the bathroom to see if anyone else was going in. So this is my fault."
Aize's words elicited a response from Chao Wu Anqing who was standing by.
"She is actually the person I want to introduce to you. She is the guard who has been protecting the Chaowu family for generations, as I mentioned to you once before."
The Asatake family holds a very high status in Hoori Town, not only because they are the actual operators of the Kenji Shrine, but also because they have a long history and noble bloodline, and are descendants of the nobles who were once responsible for managing the land of Hoori.
In the land of Hoori, the Asatake family is actually the lord's family, and the orthodox shrine maiden Asatake Yoshino is equivalent to the princess of Hoori, so her status is so special.
The family of the girl in front of him is the guards who have protected the Chaowu family for generations.
"I, I'm Hitachi Mako, the daughter of the Hitachi family. Lord Aize, please give me your guidance."
Hitachi Mako bowed to Aize again, but this time it was not to apologize, but to greet him.
The people of the Hitachi family have always been responsible for the protection of the shrine maidens of the Asatake family, so Hitachi Mako was also a girl who was raised to be the guard of the shrine maidens.
In modern times, the work of guarding is actually not very meaningful. After all, it is a peaceful era, and the environment does not need guarding at all times and places. Therefore, Hitachi Mako is now mainly responsible for the housework and various chores of the Asatake family.
Asatake Yasuharu is a man, and Asatake Yoshino has a special status and is somewhat ignorant of the ways of the world. Therefore, Hitachi Mako can be said to be the person who controls the normal daily life of the entire Asatake family and is the pillar of the Asatake family.
For Asatake Yasuharu and Asatake Yoshino, such an existence is actually no different from their own family.
That's why Hitachi Mako appeared in the bathroom naked.
At that time, she was actually taking a bath...
