Izumi Toru knocked on the door of the Shucha Study Club classroom.
After hearing "Please come in", he opened the door and walked in.
There are freshly folded flower branches on the table.
Jinguji Kiyohime was holding cut flowers in one hand and inserting them into the stones in the shallow water dish. At a glance, the flower branches looked like they were growing out of the moss on the stone.
(Scenery from Ohara-ryu's flower arrangement)
Igarashi Mika was leaning on the sofa, smiling and talking to Jinguji Kiyohime.
The softness shown on that extremely cold face suddenly gave Izumi Tetsu an illusion.
It's like nothing happened.
He is still a minister, and the two beautiful girls are still making love to each other every day.
However, this feeling quickly dissipated.
Because, after seeing Izumi Tetsu, the smile on Igarashi Mika's face disappeared.
She stood up and said: "Yesterday's work is not finished yet, let's go."
Izumi Tetsu was about to nod when Jinguji Kiyohime suddenly spoke:
"Oika, why don't you try tea?"
Hearing her words, Igarashi Mika hesitated for a while, then nodded.
Seeing her agreement, Jinguji Kiyohime turned to Izumi Toru and said, "Izumi-kun, how about practicing tea ceremony today?"
"There is nothing you can't do."
"Huh? Izumi-kun, why don't you look sad today?"
"After all, the life or death of the club is not up to me."
Igarashi Mika sneered.
"Oh? Do you have any opinions?"
Izumi Toru quickly shook his head, "I have no objection at all!"
"So, is it true that there isn't one, or do you dare not?" Jinguji Kiyohime asked, tilting her head.
The corner of Izumi Toru's mouth twitched.
"Really, really not."
"Puff!" Jinguji Kiyohime covered her mouth and laughed twice, then got up and went to the tea room.
Igarashi Mika and Izumi Toru looked at each other, frowned, and followed Jinguji Kiyohime.
When the girl passed by, in addition to smelling the refreshing fragrance, Izumi Toru also heard her mocking whisper.
"fraud……"
The young man was stunned for a moment.
Is it such a light scolding?
Looks like you're in a good mood today?
After washing his hands, Izumi Toru came to the tea room, where Mika Igarashi sat on his knees on the tatami, his body straight.
Seeing him come in, she just raised her eyes.
After hesitating for a while, he knelt down next to Igarashi Mika.
Jinguji Seihime had very strict requirements when making tea.
After a while, Jinguji Kiyohime came out of the water house, looked at Izumi Tooru with a stiff expression, and smiled with her lips pursed.
"It seems like you two get along pretty well?"
Izumi rolled his eyes at her and said nothing.
Which eye sees that they get along well?
Igarashi Mika didn't pay attention to her teasing, but kept looking at the extra picture in the tea room.
【Can I keep you here】
Sensing her gaze, Jinguji Kiyohime asked: "Mikanaka likes this calligraphy? Then I'll give it to you."
"No need. It's just..." Igarashi Mika hesitated for a while and asked: "Is it appropriate to hang here?"
"It's the most appropriate. This calligraphy was co-created by Izumi-kun and I, and it embodies our common vision."
"Co-creation?"
The two girls' gazes fell on Izumi Tetsu, either scrutinizing or playfully. But Izumi Tetsu remembered the fragrance on the tip of his nose and the trembling body in his arms that day.
"It's indeed a joint creation. But it's not a shared vision."
Hearing his negative words, Jinguji Kiyohime was stunned for a moment and started making tea.
The young man noticed that her eyes dimmed for a moment and then suddenly lit up.
There seemed to be something more passionate hidden in his eyes as calm as lake water.
(Tip: During an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. There is a certain chance of death [blacked out] to trigger a special event.)]
From the tasks that have been unlocked, Izumi Toru has already guessed the answer.
When there is an avalanche, it is when emotions burst out.
But, to what extent?
Will the burning flames break me to pieces?
Igarashi warned me: only the thunder pool cannot be crossed.
But neither I nor Jinguji have the self-control you have...
Jinguji Kiyohime handed the first bowl of tea to Igarashi Mika.
"Yuhua, please go first."
Igarashi Mika took the tea from her respectfully with both hands, thanked her first, then turned the tea bowl three times, tasted it lightly, drank slowly, and returned it.
The movements are elegant and flawless.
The second bowl of tea arrived at Izumi Tetsu's place.
Izumi Toru completed the same process meticulously without any mistakes.
This made Jinguji Kiyohime very pleased.
"Izumi-kun, you did a great job this time."
"How can you embarrass the Shucha Study Club in front of President Igarashi?"
Igarashi Mika curled her lips in disgust.
Far from qualified!
"Mika, don't be too strict with Izumi-kun."
"What does he do to me?"
Jinguji Kiyohime was startled for a moment, then started to pack the tea sets.
"I almost forgot, you don't need this place anymore."
Igarashi Mika's expression changed.
Izumi Toru crossed over the stunned girl, walked to Jinguji Kiyohime, stretched out his hand, "Do you want my help?"
There was only a "pop" sound, and Jinguji Kiyohime knocked his hand off.
"I don't want to buy another tea set."
Izumi Toru scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well, that's all for a reason..."
The girl nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes," then picked up the tea set and stood up, "Izumi-kun's hand can only be used to hold the pen. I like to watch you write."
"I won't do anything, just take a look."
"what ever."
The two figures disappeared into the water house.
Igarashi Mika looked back at her handwriting, and then walked out of the tea room.
【Seeking the Pure Land】
…
"Izumi-kun."
"What's wrong?"
"This time, shall I wash the tea set instead of you?"
"Huh?" Izumi Toru was a little surprised.
Obviously I wasn't allowed to touch it just now.
"Don't want to?"
"It's not that I don't want to...but it doesn't matter if it's broken?"
"It's okay, give it a try."
The girl gave way.
Izumi Toru rolled up his sleeves slightly, and then carefully picked up the tea bowl.
"This one belongs to Yuhua."
Hearing Jinguji Kiyohime's words, his hands trembled.
"careful!"
The girl grabbed his wrist from behind, as if she knew in advance that he would be unable to hold it.
In this way, the young man was taken into her arms.
Feeling the trembling of Jinguji Seihime's body, Izumi Toru shouted:
"Jinguji Temple?"
"Last time, I was upset. This time, it's Izumi-kun's turn."
"..." Izumi Toru was silent for a while, "Then, you have to hold my hand well."
She knew clearly that not only would this not help, but it would affect his ability to clean the tea set, Jinguji Kiyohime still did it.
Just as she said, this time, it was Izumi's turn to be upset.
The girl put her other hand on his chest and murmured: "Sure enough, I am upset."
