Chapter 67 "So, want to come along?"...
On one occasion, Akane asked Yoriichi with a smile, "Why haven't I seen you bring that little girl over to play?"
Today, Yoriichi Tsugikuni tied all his hair up, and his hair-tying skills have visibly improved, making him look more like Iwakatsu Tsugikuni on weekdays.
Zhu Nai found the thought of the two little rascals kneeling together, with the girl earnestly tying up Yoriichi's hair, who had no expression on her face, incredibly amusing.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni couldn't understand Akeno's thoughts. He leaned against his mother and felt that she was very relaxed when she asked the question. He looked up at her profile when he heard her question.
She was indeed smiling.
However, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was unable to respond well to the questions she raised.
Kittens all have their own ideas, so they often run out to play. Of course, Azhi also has her own ideas, and she is different from that cat who yearns for freedom.
She never showed any intention of coming out; on the contrary, she preferred to stay in the room, happily lying on the narrow windowsill, occasionally yawning or stretching.
She would be very happy when the sun shone on her, her round eyes sparkling, and then she would turn her head and say softly to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, "It's a beautiful day today."
He exudes an aura similar to sunshine, making people feel light and airy; at least, that's how Yoriichi Tsugikuni felt.
However, it seems he never asked Azhi if she wanted to see her mother, nor did he take the initiative to take her out.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni thought about it and felt that, in some ways, this was a good thing.
The concept of succession to the state is a taboo subject for the successor state, which is almost a universally acknowledged fact.
He was not liked by the current head of the family, and could even be said to be disliked. Therefore, in order to cater to his master's preferences, the servants did not show him much kindness.
If Azhi were to be seen walking with him by outsiders, it would not only incur her father's dislike, but would also cause the girl to be targeted and bullied by other servants.
This is absolutely possible, which fits the saying that "Kuni Yoriichi will bring disaster to others."
The mother was only partially aware of the situation. Apart from those things that even she was powerless to change, she had done her best to secure a lot for Yoriichi Tsugikuni, and her brother, who was the next heir, was always thinking of him.
Therefore, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was already quite content, and he did not complain about his current situation in Tsugikuni.
But A-Zhi's arrival seems to have changed his life. For example, now he is experiencing a strange feeling of hesitation and confusion.
This continued until the next day.
While waiting for Aori to finish her meal, Yoriichi Tsugikuni suddenly spoke up. He clenched his fist slightly and looked at the girl's fluffy hair: "Do you want to go play at your mother's?"
He appeared calm, but was actually somewhat nervous, though he perfectly concealed it.
Azhi stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Her first shock was that Yoriichi Tsugikuni actually spoke. If she hadn't been sure that her memory was correct, Ori would have even thought that the mission target couldn't actually speak.
Although it seems that his silence has no effect now.
Secondly, Yoriichi Tsugikuni actually invited her to go out and play.
This would be normal for others, but it seemed different when it came to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, so much so that Ori was stunned and remained in a state of being unable to react for a long time.
She hesitated before repeating, "...Go play?"
Ji Guoyuan nodded.
He emphasized the key point earnestly, trying to make the girl realize the seriousness of the matter so that she could make an appropriate decision: "But I will bring you disaster."
He is an ominous person, someone who will bring disaster to others, which is why he has always tried to keep quiet and minimize his presence.
This unequivocal statement had a significant impact, and Aori vaguely glimpsed the reason behind Yoriichi Tsugikuni's maturity and composure beyond his years.
"--What?"
The girl's voice was filled with shock, and her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief. She raised her chin and, though stammering, denied it twice, "H-how could this be?"
Azhi always felt that she was the disaster.
Her mission is to help Yoriichi Tsugikuni fulfill his wish, but the mission hasn't progressed at all, and her arrival doesn't seem to have brought Yoriichi any benefit whatsoever.
Following this line of thought… Azhi first felt ashamed in her heart for a while, then shook her head in disagreement and said loudly, “You wouldn’t do that!”
Following the usual procedure, she should then try to find a way to support her claim with facts or directly start praising others to help them get out of their gloom.
Although this method is old-fashioned, it always works very well.
However, A-Zhi was different. She slammed her hand on the table with a crisp sound, which attracted Yoriichi Tsugikuni's attention, and he slowly raised his head.
She tried to think of a way to express herself, but after pausing for a while, she still couldn't come up with anything. In the end, she could only point to herself and say with great certainty, "I am the one who will bring disaster to others."
As Azhi spoke, she puffed out her snow-white cheeks, and wisps of hair on her forehead were swept behind her ears. Even when she spoke loudly, her soft voice didn't sound very forceful.
In short, meeting her was a misfortune for Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
000: […………]
For the first time, it felt admiration for this little girl who looked so delicate in every way.
Seriously, who would say such a thing about themselves? What if the person being asked to complete the task actually believed it? Would they still be able to do the task?
Moreover, is it something to be proud of to speak so forcefully?
Yoriichi Tsugikuni was also taken aback by Ori's words, which made him widen his eyes slightly.
People often avoid such claims, and the girl's behavior made it seem as if she was competing with Yoriichi Tsugikuni for this "disaster" title that everyone wanted to avoid.
This stirred up a ripple in Yoriichi Tsugikuni's heart, who was already used to it and able to face it calmly.
As if by some strange twist of fate, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's finger poked the girl's puffed-up cheek, and sure enough, it was as soft as he had imagined.
This made him restrain himself a little, worried that his rough fingertips would hurt Azhi. In fact, he had not used much force from the beginning and was very careful in his movements.
It was as if they were treating a very delicate flower.
In Aori's eyes, Yoriichi Tsugikuni just gently rubbed her face and quickly withdrew his hand.
He didn't seem like the type to do anything inexplicable, so Azhi didn't dodge; instead, she subconsciously moved even closer.
"…………"
Yoriichi Tsugikuni suddenly didn't know what to say. He looked at the girl's clearly sincere face, paused for a moment, and then looked away: "So, do you want to come along?"
Azhi nodded firmly: "Of course."
