Chapter 123: Bright Tide and Undercurrent
"What projects has Miss Chu Xia worked on before?"
"Not that high-ranking, just a handyman."
"You are too modest. The followers of the Rock Demon God should be given a more grand welcome ceremony."
Ayato suddenly lowered his head and put his hand humbly on his chest, "I heard that those with a family have a family mark."
"I'm very curious about this. Can I have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes?"
The girl's embarrassment was reflected in her purple eyes, and her slender fingers picked up the cup in front of him.
When Thomas brought the tea over, the master of the house was already asking for details about the woman's identity.
I have to say, it is absolutely watertight.
Looking at the plain woman again, there was a hint of unnaturalness on her thin face.
She laid her cards on the table when Thomas placed the cup in front of Chuxia.
"Oh, sorry. I lied."
I said it so easily.
After Chu Xia finished speaking, she saw that the favorability between the two of them increased.
"I can give you the full rights to represent my works. The only condition is that you don't tell anyone that I'm a follower of a god. Thank you. In fact, I don't know any gods at all."
Chu Xia concealed her inner thoughts without blushing or beating her heart: It's unfair to be able to see the favorability level.
This will make it clear who likes lies and who likes honesty. But at present, no one likes lying.
Fortunately, Ayato and the others did not continue to make things difficult for them. The master and servant had a tacit understanding and one drank the tea while the other poured the tea.
Thomas was thinking: I feel like the distance is getting closer.
Then I can still talk to Miss Chu Xia as usual. The identity of a distinguished guest really makes it impossible to let go of the pressure.
That thin face still made him care about her, and he put a plate of food in front of Chu Xia.
"I did this at your inspiration."
In front of me was a bowl of simple miso soup, garnished with carrots, tofu and vegetable leaves.
It’s hard to believe that this exquisite dish is just miso soup.
"Can I continue to call you Kasumi from now on? Although your status has changed, there are restrictions for outsiders in Inazuma."
"That's exactly what I mean."
This is Toma's miso soup.
Chu Xia took a sip, and a warm feeling spread throughout her body. This should be Thomas's specialty, right?
His warm and sunny smile is really heart-warming. The phrase "beautiful and kind-hearted" perfectly shows his charm.
If Ayato wasn't there, she would have wanted to hug Thomas-senpai tightly and rub his focused, cute, and honest face.
Thomas-senpai likes me too!!
The good impression is level 6, which is already very high.
Ayato noticed that Chuuya was acting strangely towards Toma.
"Go and tidy up the room that Miss Chu Xia is moving to."
"I'm going too!" Chu Xia approached Thomas, regardless of his injured shoulder, and walked towards the guest room of Kamisato's house with Thomas. "Which room should I stay in?"
She has seen the guest rooms here.
It’s so big and empty that when I go to the bathroom at night, I feel it’s so empty and a little scary.
Japanese-style rooms are generally decorated with simple ornaments, such as hangers, knife racks, flowers, etc.
Other than that, the entire room was almost entirely made of paper doors, pillars, etc. Chu Xia said, "Choose the one that's close to you."
“I sleep better this way.”
That sweet look made Thomas feel warm.
Ayato looked at the backs of the two people, picked up the unfinished bowl of miso soup and tasted it, "It tastes very ordinary."
The warm feeling flowed into his stomach. He put down the bowl, looked at the medicine box on the ground and said, "I'll try to cook some food some other day to cater to the guests' preferences."
It was just a bowl of food, but it could make her so happy. After drinking the soup, Chu Xia felt like a stone had fallen from the calm water.
After choosing a room, move in.
I also had dinner with Linghua and Lingren in the evening.
In the past, she was the one doing odd jobs downstairs.
"I'm not used to it." Chu Xia said, "I'll make whatever Miss Linghua wants to eat."
"No need, Ms. Xia. You are now a guest of the Club. Starting tomorrow, you will also be a member of the Club."
"Come and taste this."
"Is it my brother's cooking skills? I haven't seen it in a long time."
"Linghua, you try it too."
He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and gave it to Linghua.
Ayato suddenly realized that he had forgotten about his beloved sister because of the importance of official duties.
"……", in front of Chu Xia, Lingren personally brought a plate of food that was exquisitely and elegantly presented, but the portion was not satisfactory.
“This is ‘quiet and elegant’, which I came up with today when I had nothing to do.”
"You and Thomas have been busy all afternoon, so you must be tired."
Linghua discovered something unusual: the taste of these shrimps was exactly the same as the ones sold in Wuyouting. It turned out that...
But when she saw her brother trying to earnestly seek credit in front of the young lady, she silently put down her chopsticks again.
Because my brother actually bought so little.
It's just enough to satisfy your hunger. It's not enough to eat at all.
Linghua picked up the food prepared by Thomas, and she also missed the time when Chuxia worked in her house and Thomas would cook different dishes for them every day.
Today, Thomas was helping Chu Xia clean the room, so the cooking was very casual.
Linghua already felt a little aggrieved.
It’s better not to show such little thoughts.
Chu Xia ate the shrimps under Lingren's smiling tiger-like gaze.
The strange thing is that it tastes very crispy, but the inside is very tender, forming a wonderful layering.
Young master, you are a hidden talent.
When she raised her eyes, she happened to meet Linghua's gaze, and her eyes immediately returned to her food.
Is it my illusion? I always feel that this young lady seems a little aggrieved today.
It must be because I stole the love of the only brother in this family and the kind-hearted Brother Thomas.
"I'm still not used to you being so polite to me." Chu Xia said, "Thank you for the food. I'll eat with Senior Thomas from now on. I'm more used to it."
“Can I use the kitchen of the club?”
"of course."
The guest opposite suddenly sat up, which scared Linghua. Could it be that she found out about my... Linghua blushed.
She is also a girl. She should be very happy.
My elder brother and elder brother Thomas are both very popular men.
But Linghua saw Chu Xia kneeling on the ground as she did before and humbly said, "I will continue to serve you two in the future."
"But I don't need two salaries. The extra money can be given to Thomas-senpai. It's my token of appreciation for his care for me. Miss Linghua, what would you like to eat? I'll go prepare it."
Chu Xia first took out a few cute little things and placed them in front of her. Those things were wrapped in clean leaves.
It was the same size as a lollipop and immediately attracted Linghua's attention.
It's really not easy to work in the shogunate.
After finishing the meal, while cleaning up with Thomas, Chu Xia thought happily: The relationship we had before was freer.
Thomas took a plate from her and pointed outside, "Your friend is here. Xia. Leave everything to me, you go have fun."
He acted like a good boyfriend, telling her to go hang out with her sisters.
But the man who came was a big man.
There were two pointed red horns on the silver hair. He said in a rough voice, "You won't forget me, will you?"
"The fifth member of the Aratake faction, Kasumi!"
After that, he said to Thomas in a bad tone, "What's your relationship with this guy? He's the one who threw beans at your boss. I don't need to tell you what to do."
Yidou handed a handful of rice to Chuxia, "Smash it!"
"Hit it hard for me!"
Chu Xia was confused and he stuffed a handful of rice into her mouth.
When I looked at Thomas again, he was looking at me with expectant eyes.
How strange...
