Going up the stream, we came to a narrow path that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
The narrow path was flattened, revealing bare soil, and occasionally one or two tufts of tenacious weeds would sprout somewhere.
On both sides of the narrow path, there were bushes, from which crickets and other insects occasionally popped out.
On both sides of the grass are tall and dense mixed trees.
When they reached this narrow path, Kiyono Rin began to wipe the sweat off her face, occasionally tilting her neck back to take a sip of water, and even Kujo Miki began to pant.
There was almost no talking, only the sound of footsteps and breathing.
Occasionally, in the woods, there could be the sound of a bird flapping its wings.
"Kiyono-san ." Kujo Miki spoke.
"What's the matter?" Qingye Rin answered with difficulty.
"You have a nice butt."
Watanabe Toru: “…”
Qingye Rin turned her head and seemed to want to say something, but finally gave up because she was out of breath.
"Look closely, the legs are long and beautiful, and they are very close together, but unfortunately the breasts are almost gone."
"Kiyono-san, why are you sweating? The color of your underwear has been seen."
Watanabe Toru looked over subconsciously, but met Kujo Miki's eyes head-on.
"Go to the front." She ordered coldly.
"I'm worried when you're not in my sight, so I'll be right behind you. As for the color of the underwear, I promise not to look at it."
Miki Kujo looked at him, turned away without saying a word, and continued to provoke Rin Kiyono and try to get her to speak.
Toru Watanabe stared at Kujo Miki's back and butt, occasionally looking at the scenery, and only used his peripheral vision to confirm the safety of the four people in front.
After walking for another half an hour, when Qingye Rin could no longer hold on despite the help of the medicine, they finally reached the end of the narrow path and a flat land like a plateau.
"Rest here for a while." Mrs. Kujo said, wiping the sweat off her face.
Toru Watanabe saw that Kiyono God closed his eyes slightly, as if he had listened to the holy sound and was saved.
The five people sat on their backpacks to rest.
Qingye Rin took out a hairband, put it on her left wrist first, then used both hands to roll up her long hair. I don't know how her hands moved, but in the end her hair was inexplicably tied into a beautiful bun.
The exposed snow-white and delicate neck is covered with a thin layer of sweat, and the youthful flesh is full of vital temptation.
Her long hair was tied up, and she sighed as if she had taken off a piece of clothing and was relieved.
Mrs. Kujo glanced at her and said with a smile, "There are streams and hot springs up there, so you can swim and take a bath."
"Yeah." Qingye Rin nodded.
"Rin's physical strength is better than before." Mrs. Kiyono said with a hint of relief.
"Maybe she's used to walking up the slope in school." Qingye Rin glanced at the empty bottle in her hand without a drop of water, and turned her gaze to Watanabe Toru.
Watanabe Toru took out another bottle from his bag. He couldn't give her the medicine in front of four people, so he just handed it to her directly.
"Drink less, there is a toilet on the mountain," he said.
"Yeah." Qingye Rin responded softly.
Miki Kujo looked at Toru Watanabe and said, "I don't think you've ever cared about me like this before?"
"I……"
"You what?"
"Okay, Miki." Watanabe Toru said helplessly, "I'm just giving you a reminder based on common sense, and Kiyono-san and I are just friends, so why are you worried?"
"Who knows? Maybe he's secretly keeping someone behind my back." Miki Kujo looked at Toru Watanabe with a meaningful and cold smile.
Toru Watanabe had a feeling that he was seen through by her and his secrets were known.
He himself is not afraid of Kujo Miki.
In the past, he gave in for the sake of his parents, but now, he began to worry about Asuka Mai and Koizumi Aona.
"What do you mean?" Watanabe Toru asked tentatively with a smile.
"Please massage my legs. They hurt from walking." Miki Kujo lazily put her legs on his.
Toru Watanabe rubbed her thighs and calves to help her relieve fatigue.
It seemed that what she had just done was just her usual suspicion.
"I'm so envious. I also want someone to massage my legs." Mrs. Qingye joked.
"I'm sorry, mom. This is a girlfriend's exclusive right." After saying that, Watanabe Toru changed the subject: "Does this mountain belong to the Seino family?"
"Yes." Mrs. Kiyono looked at the small flowers in the grass. "There is a lake on the top of the mountain. We plan to build a hotel by the lake and a camping site on this plain. Tourists can come here to climb mountains , camp, soak in hot springs, and go boating for vacation."
"Is it built?" Toru Watanabe asked curiously, stroking the beautiful legs of Kujo Miki.
"It's not that fast. We just finished planning and didn't even have a design drawing." Mrs. Kujo said, "The boat, toilet and pool on the mountain were built right after we decided to camp here."
"How do you know?" Watanabe Toru asked again, "Isn't it from the Kiyono family?"
"What belongs to the Kiyono family is mine." Mrs. Kujo said with a smile.
"Yes, yes." Mrs. Kiyono nodded twice gracefully and said in agreement: "The Kujo family and the Kiyono family are one family."
"Can you believe this?" Watanabe Toru didn't ask.
"Meiji, Rin," Mrs. Kiyono looked at the two of them, "You are both girls who grew up together. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you must help each other."
Neither of them answered.
Kiyono Rin originally wanted to drink water. After taking it from Watanabe Toru, she took a small sip and her body was no longer thirsty. After listening to her mother's words, she neither nodded nor denied it. She closed her eyes to recover her strength.
Miki Kujo hugged Toru Watanabe's neck and rested her head on his shoulder, as if she was planning to take a quick nap.
After walking all the way, both of them were tired.
After resting for ten minutes, they continued climbing the mountain, walking on the grassland that looked like a ridge.
If they had continued at the same pace, they could have reached the top of the mountain in one breath, but Qingye Rin was holding ordinary purified water, and her face turned pale after a while, so everyone stopped to rest.
After walking and stopping many times, we finally arrived at the travel destination before dark.
This is a huge grassland, which also serves as an observation deck. Standing on the edge of the cliff, you can overlook the entire town.
Toru Watanabe didn't know which city was at the foot of the mountain. It was neither Tokyo, nor Kyoto, nor his hometown Misawa.
"Let's set up camp and then go take a hot spring bath!" Mrs. Kujo was used to being given orders, and whatever she said was what went through the whole trip.
While setting up the tent, Toru Watanabe secretly asked Kujo Miki: "What was your mother like when she was young? Was she very fierce to you?"
"Not fierce, just strict." Kujo Miki gave Watanabe Toru a thumbs-up.
Toru Watanabe glanced at Mrs. Kujo, who was setting up the tent with Mrs. Kiyono, following the instructions with great interest.
"I can't imagine her being stern." Watanabe Toru shook his head. "Seino-san, have you ever seen her mother being stern?"
Qingye Rin fiddled with her little stool so that it would dent when people sat on it.
When she bought it, Toru Watanabe imagined her sitting on it and reading a book.
"No. I didn't go to her house at that time." Qingye Rin unfolded the stool and put it there, her eyes shining slightly.
That stool really makes people want to sit on it immediately and enjoy the passing of time.
The tent for four people looks like a small house, while Watanabe Toru's is just an ordinary semicircle. However, the materials of both are very good, and ordinary wind and rain cannot do any harm to them.
Too bad it will only be used this once.
After setting up the tent, the ladies clamored to take photos.
Sometimes he was outside the tent, sometimes he was inside the tent, and sometimes only his head appeared from the tent.
The two ladies were enjoying themselves, like college students out for fun. Kujo Miki was pulled by Watanabe Toru to take many photos with reluctant expressions.
Only Kiyono Rin was sitting on her little stool, reading quietly - if she hadn't known where the hot spring was and the two ladies hadn't refused to tell her, she would have gone there alone long ago.
"Okay, let's go."
"Watanabe-kun, did you send me the photos?"
“Yes.”
"Look at this picture. The angle is great. The four of us look like we are walking in a primeval forest."
"Look at this picture, hahaha, Xiao Lin is halfway through drinking water, and the way she looks at the camera is a little silly. Is she too tired? Save it."
"Why is there a picture of Meiji's butt?"
“I even sent this out?!”
"So you wanted to keep it for yourself."
"Don't say that, Mom!"
Holding some spare clothes and chatting about photos, the five of them came to the hot spring.
The hot spring has not been finely organized, but there are changing rooms and bamboo walls to block the view.
Toru Watanabe was soaking alone on the left side, listening to the women on the right side commenting on each other's figures and the sound of water being poured on them while washing their bodies.
There was just a symbolic bamboo wall between us, so I could hear almost everything.
Because they were too tired and the hot springs were so comfortable, they stayed there until dark.
“I can see the stars so clearly.”
"You can't see that in Tokyo at all, Rin-chan, what constellation is that?"
At some point, Mrs. Kujo suddenly said, "Watanabe-kun, do you want to come over and take a bath with us? Mixed bathing is also possible!"
“Hehehe!” Mrs. Kiyono laughed like a real college girl, “Come here, Watanabe-kun, it’s normal for a family to bathe together!”
"Miki will kill me!" replied Toru Watanabe.
"Why? If I didn't kill you, you would have come here?"
“No!”
"lie."
“I just thought about it, but I definitely won’t do it!”
"That's the truth."
"So I do." Mrs. Kujo's voice was full of affection and charm, "Watanabe-kun, who do you want to bathe with the most?"
"I'll go back and light a fire and cook, you guys take your time soaking!"
With the sound of splashing water, Toru Watanabe stood up and escaped from the hot spring.
The two ladies over there were laughing together, and their sweet laughter touched people's hearts, but on this deserted mountain top, it could only be heard by the stars in the sky.
"I guess he wants to hang out with both Miki and Rin."
"You never know. There may be boys of our age who like us."
"Mother, what are you talking about?"
"I didn't say anything about Watanabe-kun, I was just discussing social phenomena."
“Obscene.”
"You actually said I was obscene. It was you who was staring at your daughter's breasts when she was taking off her clothes just now, right?"
"I look at you with sympathy!"
"Mother!"
"Ah, Rin, that's not what mom meant. Look at mom, although you're not big, you're not small either. You still have..."
By this time, Toru Watanabe had already changed his clothes and left.
Walking on the starlight, comforting Kiyono Rin in his heart, he walked leisurely back to the campsite.
First light the camping light hanging on the long pole.
The light was warm, covering their small camping site like a pyramid, and was said to have an insect repellent effect.
He lit the mosquito coil again.
Next, use the collected wood to make a fire and boil water, and then take out the ingredients for today that have been prepared in advance - you will have to prepare tomorrow's ingredients yourself.
For dinner, there was hot pot cooked on the gas stove and rice cooked in a lunch box.
These things require almost no cooking skills, just follow the process and Toru Watanabe can make them with confidence.
“It smells so good.”
"After taking a bath, I can eat delicious food. It's so happy."
"Isn't it usually at home?"
"Huh? It seems so."
The four of them had rosy faces and walked over with a hint of moisture. They had graceful figures and were so charming that it was impossible to take your eyes off them.
Under the starry sky and in the light of camping lanterns, five people sat around the table eating hot pot, occasionally adding a bowl of rice.
The bonfire burned and burst with crackling sounds; the chirping of various insects in the mountains was like a symphony of nature.
This time I brought a lot of tools, such as tables, chairs, etc. If it weren't for Toru Watanabe, I could only bring these things if I went camping by car.
After dinner, Mrs. Kiyono used the water from the campfire to make black tea for the five people.
"Watanabe-kun, I'm cooking for you first. Thank you for your hard work today," she said.
"It's very fun to be able to go out and play like this. It's not tiring at all." Watanabe Toru said sincerely.
"I feel very happy too." Mrs. Kujo was the second one to get the tea. "Let's go to a beach villa or the mountains to escape the heat during the summer vacation."
"Looking forward to it," said Toru Watanabe.
Mrs. Kiyono did not give the third and fourth cups of tea to anyone immediately. Instead, she made them together and served them to Kiyono Rin and Kujo Miki at the same time.
"You two are equally important to me."
Watanabe Toru glanced at Kiyono Rin, and Kiyono Rin glanced at him.
Although she didn't intend to tell Watanabe Toru whether it was true or not with her eyes, Watanabe Toru still could tell.
Toru Watanabe suddenly realized: As long as Kiyono Rin is around, wouldn't he also have the ability to see through lies?
"Let's have a fireside chat. First, um..." Mrs. Kujo said, "Miji, Xiaolin, what do you think of Watanabe-kun?"
"I'm curious too!" Mrs. Kiyono looked at her daughter and Kujo Miki with anticipation.
"I've never asked that before." Watanabe Toru became interested.
"Not really." Kujo Miki sipped her fragrant black tea, "But sometimes I have a feeling that no matter what emotions he shows, there is a cold and sober place deep in his heart that is hard to capture."
"Really?" Watanabe Toru himself didn't feel anything.
"Where is Rin?" Mrs. Kujo asked Kiyono Rin.
"Very arrogant." Qingye Rin blew the tea lightly, and the white mist disappeared into the night where the camping lights could not reach.
"Arrogant?" Mrs. Kiyono repeated the word.
"Well, he has a temperament that is different from kindness, compassion, evil, cruelty and other emotions. It seems to be innate. It is a bit similar to what Kujo-san just said, but rather than calmness, I prefer to describe it as arrogance."
"Stop talking!" Watanabe Toru couldn't stand it any longer. "If you keep talking, the image I've built up will be ruined."
"What's your image?" asked Miki Kujo.
"gentle!"
“A person who has no merits is a gentle person.”
“That’s prejudice!”
The five of them sat on the empty plateau, drinking tea and chatting, occasionally looking at the starry sky and listening to the chirping of insects.
Special Offer: New Year's Day at the Kujo Family
The day after returning from Iwate Prefecture, which was January 2nd, Watanabe Toru was preparing to visit the Kujo family to wish them a happy new year.
We are just boyfriends and we are not getting married yet, so there seems no need to visit him to wish him a happy new year.
But both Kujo Miki and he are people who will never let go and are destined to be together, so there is nothing wrong with wishing each other a happy new year earlier.
Watanabe Toru came out of the rental house and saw Kujo Miki's car waiting for him downstairs.
As soon as he got in, the car drove immediately towards the spacious courtyard of the Kujo family.
She was the only one in the car today, Jingliu was not there.
"Do I need to prepare anything for New Year's greetings?" asked Toru Watanabe.
Sitting opposite, Miki Kujo was wearing a thin round-neck sweater with the hem of the sweater tucked into her black skirt, and her beautiful legs were wrapped in black stockings.
Under the thin and fashionable sweater, her breasts are round and plump; her beautiful legs are slender and compact.
Watanabe Toru's attention was attracted.
"New Year's gift." Miki Kujo smiled as she watched him staring at her body.
"New Year's gift?" Watanabe Toru came back to his senses, "For whom?"
"Mother."
Watanabe Toru had never given his parents New Year gifts, so he didn't know what the customs were in big families, but Kujo Miki had given his parents gifts, so regardless of whether there was such a tradition or not, there was no reason for him not to give them.
"What should I give you?" he asked.
"Money, things, anything that can make her happy."
"That's going to be difficult."
"What magical medicines do you have?" Miki Kujo asked with a smile on her face and a meaningful look in her eyes.
"The medicine is gone. Do you want a fruit knife and a sunny doll?"
Miki Kujo believes that Toru Watanabe is playing tricks on her, but she doesn't want to force him on these matters.
"I'm ready for you." She closed her eyes impatiently.
Watanabe Toru smiled, stretched out his hand, and pulled Kujo Miki, who was about to sleep, into his arms.
Kujo Miki sat on his lap and put her arms around his neck.
Watanabe Toru's hands were around her skirt waist, which was surprisingly thin.
"What?" Miki Kujo looked down at Toru Watanabe's handsome face with a smile.
"nothing."
"What are you doing, sister?"
When the car arrived at the Kujo family's mansion, the two got out and went to the bedroom to change into kimonos.
Watanabe Toru changed first, and Kujo Miki said to him, "You go first."
"I help you?"
"Help me? Help me take it off? Get out."
Walking in the corridor leading to the lobby, the servants lighting the eternal lamps and spreading salt were all dressed in kimonos.
When they saw Toru Watanabe, they bowed respectfully.
When we arrived at the lobby, it was full of people: ladies, girls and children in kimonos, and men in suits or kimonos.
The Kujo family is a noble family, and these people did not crowd together in a haphazard manner. On the left and right sides, everyone's seats were determined from the beginning.
In a Japanese-style room, only one person can talk at a time.
Mother Kujo, wearing a noble and elegant kimono, sat in the upper seat, facing everyone. The person closest to her was also two meters away and below her.
Her beautiful eyes, full of majesty, noticed the arrival of Watanabe Toru.
Ignoring the distant relatives who were still talking, she smiled and waved at the door:
"Watanabe-kun, come and sit here with me."
Everyone looked over there.
The young man was wearing a black and white twisted kimono, his back straight, ignoring everyone's gaze, and walked straight to the top.
He has a handsome face and a tall figure, and all clothes, including kimonos, suit him well.
He would occasionally smile, which would make the women in the room, who were staring at him, feel excited and startled.
"Auntie Kujo, Happy New Year." He sat one meter away from Kujo's mother.
"Happy New Year." Kujo's mother smiled faintly, "Where's Miki?"
"Still changing clothes."
Mother Kujo nodded slightly and said to everyone, "This is Miki's boyfriend."
"Master Watanabe!" Everyone bowed slightly.
"Happy New Year, everyone." Watanabe Toru bowed to them.
As for whether this was right or not, he didn't understand and was too lazy to care.
"As expected of Miki's boyfriend, Master Watanabe is handsome and has a natural attractive and dominating temperament!" A resounding compliment.
When Toru Watanabe looked over, he saw that it was Shinsuke Kujo who had moved the chair for him.
"No way." Watanabe Toru said modestly.
"I heard that Master Watanabe is the top student in the country? He also has extraordinary talent in music? Incredible!" said a person on the left.
"Anyone who sees Master Watanabe must submit and show respect. Anyone who is valued by the young lady must be extraordinary." said the third person on the right.
Everyone praised him one after another, making Watanabe Toru the focus of the room.
But he himself had no interest in dealing with anyone present except Kujo's mother.
Others like him or hate him; admire him or reject him - he doesn't pursue these.
Do what you should do and let others think what they want. This is his lifelong creed.
Kujo's mother said nothing, but just looked at Watanabe Toru with a faint smile as he accepted the praise.
After a while, Kujo Miki came.
She changed into a gorgeous and noble bright red kimono and walked in from the door of the Japanese-style room step by step with dignified steps.
The children, young ladies, and wives on both sides couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so beautiful!"
Kujo Miki was indifferent to the praise and walked forward without looking around.
The more indifferent she is, the more charming she is and the more attention she attracts.
Toru Watanabe's eyes stayed on Kujo Miki, feeling her delicate and noble, passionate and cold charm.
After everyone arrived, the ceremony to celebrate the New Year began.
Only people from the Kujo family are here today. Some businessmen and politicians who came and went yesterday have already paid New Year's greetings.
First came Kujo Miki and Watanabe Toru. They both walked up to Kujo's mother and knelt down.
"At the beginning of the new year, I wish my aunt (mother) a happy new year!"
The mother of Kujo sat in a graceful posture, with a beautiful face that looked to be in her twenties and a cheerful look on her face.
"Meiji, the family is counting on you." She said to Kujo Miji.
Then, she said to Watanabe Toru in a gentler tone:
"Watanabe-kun, I'm counting on you to make Miki happy."
"yes."
The two presented New Year gifts, received lucky money, and returned to their original places.
Next is Shinsuke Kujo's family.
Watanabe Toru never expected that he was actually the closest relative to the Kujo main family.
"At the beginning of the new year, I wish you a happy new year! I am very sorry that you missed me last year! Please take care of me this year!"
Kujo Shinsuke, who looked much older than Kujo's mother, knelt down respectfully and saluted.
"Happy New Year. You are not young anymore, so you should be more cautious in your actions."
Kujo's mother spoke slowly and calmly, and the majesty of the head of the Kujo family was clearly visible.
"yes."
Kujo Shinsuke did not retreat. He knelt down and moved his knees to face Watanabe Toru and Kujo Miki.
"At the beginning of the new year, I wish you a happy new year, young lady and young master!"
"Happy New Year." Miki Kujo bowed her head slightly.
Watanabe Toru was caught off guard and said nothing, but followed suit and saluted.
The two of them even wanted to give New Year's money to Kujo Shinsuke's children!
They originally thought that Kujo Shinsuke was trying to flatter them, but the third person who came up to wish them a happy new year not only bowed to them, but also to Kujo Shinsuke.
Toru Watanabe looked at the adults and children closest to the door of the Japanese-style room with sympathy in his heart.
But if you wish to greet as many people as you want, you can get lucky money, which is a slight balance. No, it's not balanced.
The children in the Kujo family have no shortage of New Year’s money.
An hour passed by the time we finished paying New Year's greetings.
A servant brought Tu Su wine to everyone. The wine cup was simple and antique, and the signature engraved on it was from many years ago.
When Kujo's mother picked up the wine, everyone below immediately picked up their glasses.
She said Happy New Year, and everyone followed suit and said Happy New Year in unison. Then, when her lips touched the wine glass, everyone started drinking the Tu Su wine.
Toru Watanabe knows nothing and just does whatever Kujo Miki does.
Next we ate rice cakes and New Year dishes. Unlike the wine cups used for drinking Tusu wine, the plates and chopsticks were brand new, embroidered with the three friends of winter: pine, bamboo and plum.
The pattern was so exquisite and lifelike that Toru Watanabe couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"This is a gift from the Kiyono family." Kujo's mother explained softly, "If you like it, take a set when you leave."
Miki Kujo glanced at Toru Watanabe and asked him if he wanted it.
Watanabe Toru shook his head, and Kujo Miki said to her mother: "Thank you, mother, but it's not necessary."
Mother Kujo nodded.
After dinner, with permission from Kujo's mother, children under the age of ten were allowed to go play in the yard.
The atmosphere in the Japanese-style room was a little relaxed. Everyone was talking about interesting things and occasionally chatting about what amazing things Kujo Miki had accomplished in the past year.
Watanabe Toru listened to the story about Kujo Miki, and the rest of the time he looked around the Japanese-style room with boredom.
Compared to the last time he came here, the hanging scrolls and plaques had been replaced with new ones, and incense was lit in the corner.
At this moment, the sound of porcelain breaking was heard from outside.
Everyone suddenly became quiet.
Only Kujo's mother remained calm, while Kujo Miki and Watanabe Toru were indifferent.
After a while, a servant in a kimono walked in with a group of children.
"Madam, just now the young masters and young ladies were playing with the magic arrows and throwing pots."
The child's parents stood up and were about to come over to apologize, but Kujo's mother stretched out her slender, snow-white wrist from her kimono and pressed lightly, and everyone retreated again.
"It's not a big deal." She said with a faint smile, and turned to look at the servant, "Go get a few more magic-breaking arrows and pots, so we can play together."
"yes."
After the servants left, she said to the children sitting at the bottom of the table, "Whoever throws it in later, I will give him another lucky money."
After that, she looked around at everyone and said, "You too, whoever can throw it in and throw it far will also get a reward."
"Haha, then I'll show you my skills!" Kujo Shinsuke rolled up his kimono sleeves.
"Just let you be steady."
Kujo's mother's expression was gentle, and Kujo Shinsuke knew that she didn't really scold him, so he was not afraid.
The servants brought the magic-breaking arrows and the pot, and adults and children took to the stage one by one.
The women saw their children and husbands taking to the field, and they clenched their fists in anticipation.
The children and husbands who didn't make the investment sighed.
It was the mother and wife's turn to take the stage, and the children and husbands cheered for them.
No matter who it is, as long as the shot is successful, they will immediately win applause and have their family members serve them food and wine.
At the end of the round, eleven people had voted in, including adults and children.
The mother of Jiujo gave out lucky money and asked the servant to put the pot further away so that the eleven people could continue to the next round.
"Miss, Master, please join us!" There are many young masters and young ladies in the servants' mouths, but the only young masters and young ladies in Kujo Shinsuke's mouths are Watanabe Toru and Kujo Miki.
Watanabe Toru glanced at Kujo Miki.
"You will fight on behalf of the Kujo family." Kujo Miki said with a smile.
"Yes." Kujo's mother nodded, "Watanabe-kun, I will punish you if you lose."
"There's a punishment for losing, so isn't the reward for winning bigger?" Toru Watanabe asked with a smile.
"You are the final winner. I will give you the folding fan that has been passed down from generation to generation in the family."
"Okay!" After accepting the offer, Watanabe Toru whispered to Kujo Miki, "Won't the fan be ours sooner or later? Your mother is fooling me by taking this as a reward."
Miki Kujo glanced at him with a smile.
She whispered back, "If you win, it's up to you tonight."
Watanabe Toru held her hand without saying a word.
In the center of the Japanese-style room, the game has begun.
Mother Kujo admired the two people holding hands, with relief and joy in her eyes, and said:
"In the future, Meiji will change into the White Wedding Dress, and this will be the scene when you two get married."
The boy and girl looked at each other, their hearts filled with sweetness, and held hands even tighter.
After the eleven people finished competing, it was Watanabe Toru's turn. Kujo Shinsuke didn't wait for the servants and took the initiative to hand over the Demon-Breaking Arrow.
If it were before, Toru Watanabe would stand up and follow the rules of the game.
But what Kujo Miki said, and what Kujo's mother said about their marriage, made him feel excited.
Without even standing up or even looking, he threw the Demon-Destroying Arrow out.
The Demon-Breaking Arrow didn't even touch the bottle mouth, but went straight in, making a crisp sound.
"Good!" Led by Kujo Shinsuke, everyone praised.
"Bring me another Demon-Breaking Arrow." said Toru Watanabe.
The servant picked up the arrow, but Kujo Shinsuke snatched it away midway and handed it to the seated Watanabe Toru.
"Hold the pot farther away."
The servant did as he was told.
"Farther, farther." As Watanabe Toru's voice became increasingly louder, the pot became farther and farther away.
The servant carried the pot into the yard.
Everyone looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he was doing.
The Kujo mother and daughter did not say a word and let Watanabe Toru give orders.
"Hold it tight!"
As soon as the voice fell, the magic-destroying arrow flew out, and before the servant had time to close his eyes, the arrow had already landed in the pot.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Sorry, I got a little emotional," Toru Watanabe said to Kujo's mother with a smile.
Kujo's mother smiled and clapped lightly. The people below came to their senses and suddenly burst into thunderous applause.
Those young ladies, ladies, and children looked at Watanabe Toru with admiration and adoration.
Toru Watanabe squeezed Kujo Miki's hand and asked her to keep her promise and make a big scene tonight.
"No future." Kujo Miki said contemptuously.
"Why are you unsuccessful?" Watanabe Toru asked knowingly.
"You are useless." Jiu Tiao's mother said with a smile, "You are the future head of Jiu Tiao family. How can you bully the branch family and not even give them your support?"
"No way! The master wants this kind of momentum." Kujo Shinsuke said loudly.
Everyone looked at him, and he continued:
"Some people look handsome on the outside, but are fools on the inside; some are good at studying, but not at anything else; some can learn music in a month as well as others can learn in a year, but without music they are nothing. I used to think that Master Watanabe was only a genius in these three areas, but now I can see that Master Watanabe is an all-round genius!"
"No, no, I can't compare to you in making others happy." Watanabe Toru said with a smile.
"Hahaha, Master, you don't need to learn this!"
Everyone started laughing, and the atmosphere became joyful.
It was not until the evening that everyone got in the car and left.
The mansion, which is bustling during the day, becomes quiet again at night.
Watanabe Toru and Kujo Miki stayed behind and returned to their bedroom.
After entering the bedroom, Kujo Miki, who was walking in front, said, "I'm going to take a shower. I'm tired after wearing a kimono all day."
Before she could take two steps, Toru Watanabe stretched out his arms and hugged her from behind.
"Meiji, Meiji."
"Why are you calling me?"
Watanabe Toru panted in her ear, Kujo Miki turned her head slightly, and the two kissed naturally.
