Xiaoya paid careful attention to the surrounding windows and doors.
After making sure that every gap was completely closed, she soaked in the hot water.
Warmth surged throughout his body instantly.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had taken a hot bath.
She stroked her body gently, removing the dirt on it.
Suddenly, Xiaoya thought of something.
She turned on the shower again, and clear warm water gurgled down.
Xiaoya opened her mouth and started drinking...
After a while.
The smooth body carries a faint fragrance.
Things like soap... She wasn't qualified to use them before.
Thinking of this, Xiaoya clenched her fists.
Her eyes were not like those of a teenager, but like those of a desperate person who had lost everything, full of murderous intent.
She wanted those people to pay with their blood.
Xiaoya slowly walked out of the tub.
Pick up your worn-out clothes and prepare to put them on.
But at this moment, the shower door was opened.
Xiaoya was startled.
She immediately prepared herself for attack.
But the door only opened a crack.
A small hand reached in, holding clothes:
"Here, here are new clothes. You can wear new clothes."
Paimon's cute voice came through the crack in the door.
Xiaoya stared at the handed clothes warily, her eyes tilted back.
There is no sign of the window being opened...
She temporarily withdrew some of her vigilance and uneasiness, and just twisted her body to ensure that she could not see behind her through the crack in the door.
After quickly taking the clothes, before Xiaoya could make a move, the door was closed by Paimeng.
Xiaoya was a little surprised.
She had only had a brief contact with Paimon for a day or two, but she still couldn't understand how important the chicken popcorn was to Paimon.
She touched the clothes in her hands.
A soft and smooth feeling comes.
Is this... for me?
Xiaoya was stunned.
She has never worn such fine clothes.
Even before he was caught.
Suddenly, Xiaoya remembered what happened the day before yesterday.
In front of that little inconspicuous store.
That man...did he buy me clothes?
A strange feeling arises from the bottom of my heart and takes root in my subconscious...
...
...
"Okay, here we are."
Lu Yuan led a shogunate officer wearing armor to the Narukami Grand Shrine.
Dao Zhengxing.
One of the instructors of the Shogunate Army.
In the eyes of the new recruit Danzi, Shimamasahi is a real devil instructor.
But any instructor who is called a "devil" does not only have a strict attitude.
Excellent skills are the real foundation for Dao Zhengxing.
Not only his sword skills, Shimamasahi's physical skills were also among the best among the shogunate.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Yuan invited him over.
Once again, Lu Yuan felt that his title of 'adult' was really useful.
At least this devil instructor treated him with special respect.
As soon as he stepped into Narukami Grand Shrine, Lu Yuan saw a large number of people gathered in front of his door.
The little witches and sisters huddled together as if they were admiring some treasure.
Even here, Lu Yuan could hear their excited voices.
"Wow... so cute! Little sister, what do you like to eat? Sister, help you get it."
"Maji, my name is Xiaoya...Sister Xiaoya, can I take you for a walk around Narukami Taisha Shrine?"
"Sister Xiaoya, don't listen to them... There is a civet cat in my sister's house that can turn into a jar! I will take you to see it~"
"..."
Vaguely, Lu Yuan had a bad feeling.
The sharp-eyed Paimon spotted Lu Yuan in the crowd.
His eyes flashed, as if he saw a savior.
He quickly squeezed out and flew towards Lu Yuan:
"Lu Yuan, please take care of them!"
Lu Yuan quickly stepped forward.
"Shikano Nana, Maki...what are you doing?"
Hearing Lu Yuan's voice, everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Lord Lu Yuan."
After regaining some sense, everyone bowed slightly to say hello to Lu Yuan and gave way to their seats.
But when Lu Yuan saw the girl surrounded by witches and ladies, Lu Yuan was stunned.
The girl in front of me is clean and tidy.
Although he is not tall, he is obviously not yet developed.
The exquisite facial features retain the cuteness that only existed in childhood, and the gorgeous kimono on her body brings out the little girl's temperament more vividly.
At first glance, she looks like a beautiful woman.
The most ideal style of cotton-padded jacket in the eyes of all fathers is probably nothing more than this.
Lu Yuan finally understood why these witches were so excited.
Who wouldn't be excited to meet such a little girl?
Even he was a little shocked, not to mention these shrine maidens who stayed at Narukami Grand Shrine all year round. It was normal for his sister's heart to suddenly overflow at this moment.
"This...whose child is this?"
Lu Yuan asked doubtfully.
The witches and sisters looked at each other, with doubts in their eyes no less than Lu Yuan's.
Paimon quickly flew over and whispered:
"Lu Yuan, this is Xiaoya."
"Xiaoya?!"
Lu Yuan was dumbfounded.
He looked at the girl again.
He couldn't connect the girl in front of him with that Xiaoya.
It wasn't until he saw the girl's wary eyes and remembered that this was the custom-made kimono that had just been delivered that Lu Yuan was finally sure of the girl's identity.
But after it was confirmed, Lu Yuan was even more shocked.
This... the difference is too big!
Just taking a shower and changing clothes, how could it be so different!
Is it really that different before and after a woman takes a bath?
Or... was Xiaoya a little too unkempt before?
Before Lu Yuan could wrap his mind around it, Nana Luye suddenly asked next to him.
"Sir Lu Yuan, who is this...?"
"oh."
Lu Yuan came to his senses and realized that he had brought someone back with him.
He turned around and saw Shima Masaaki standing a little further away.
"This is General Shimamasa Oki from the shogunate."
Lu Yuan waved: "Why are you standing so far away? Come here quickly."
"Oh, alright..."
Dao Zhengxing, who has always been vigorous and resolute, seems a bit dull at the moment.
Hotaru Daocheng looked at Masaaki Mukushima:
"General Shimamasahi came to Narukami Taisha Shrine to ask for a fortune?"
"Is such that."
Lu Yuan patted Dao Zhengxing on the shoulder:
"I asked General Dao Zhengxing to come here to teach Xiaoya something... He comes every day, but he probably leaves after a few hours."
Lu Yuan could understand Daocheng Yingmei's doubts.
After all, Narukami Taisha Shrine is full of women, and he is the only man for so many years.
Even if you want to apply for a visa, you still have to queue up. If you want to stay, you have to report to the Palace Secretary.
But when they heard that Shimamasahi was here to teach something and would leave immediately after teaching, all the shrine maidens immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They were more than just relieved...the witches' curiosity suddenly aroused.
They surrounded Dao Zhengxing and chatted, sometimes asking if he knew this, and sometimes asking if he knew that. They seemed to want him to teach them how to do it.
Shima Masahiro scratched his head dully. The devil general's usual majesty was gone, and his face under the mask had begun to turn red.
Lu Yuan wanted to laugh when he saw it.
Not being able to deal with the opposite sex may be a serious common problem among straight men, even generals like Shimamasahi are no exception.
And poor Shima Masaaki still doesn't know that the purpose of the witches wanting to learn both skills is probably to show them off in front of Lu Yuan...
Lu Yuan quickly interrupted the witches.
After a few words, he sent everyone back, as it was not a problem to be surrounded all the time.
If you delay your work, you will be punished by the palace minister.
Of course, Lu Yuan knew that now he would not ask the witches for questioning.
ask him.
For the sake of his own body, Lu Yuan had to take over the task of managing order.
When the witches dispersed, Shimamasa breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know if I'm really relieved or if I'm regretful.
Lu Yuan got to the point and faced Xiaoya.
"This is the person I want to entrust you with teaching...her name is Xiaoya."
