It wasn't until Arisukawa Asuka came closer and looked at the face that was trying its best to remain expressionless that Qing Keisuke came back to his senses.
"Arysukawa-san."
"Excuse me, what's the matter, Qinggui-san?"
Qing Keisuke organized his thoughts and looked serious.
"I want to solemnly apologize to you, I'm sorry, Arisukawa."
Lord Demon King paused for a moment: "Although I don't want to admit it, sometimes it seems that I can't completely control myself when getting along with you.
Just now, you walked over there, and I suddenly realized this clearly. I, Qing Keisuke, can't resist your charm for the time being."
"Ah?"
He never expected to hear such a naked "confession" from Keisuke Aoi, and Asuka Arisugawa's ears quickly turned red.
"But——"
"There won't be a next time." Qing Keisuke vowed.
"There won't be a next time" last night and "There won't be a next time" today obviously have completely different meanings.
"I will keep my distance from you, and I will resolve any rumors caused by me.
So don’t worry, don’t worry, I guarantee your life will get back on track.”
This is exactly what the Demon King realized in that brief trance, the highest respect for Arisugawa Asuka's noble personality - the gift of self-denial.
Restrain yourself and don’t make mistakes.
Arisugawa Asuka was stunned, "No," she wanted to say, but looking at Aoi Keisuke's expression at this time, she suddenly remembered the way Aoi Keisuke refused her tutoring.
That kind of attitude that seems to tolerate no disobedience.
It seems that even if she falls into hell, she will not take a second look.
Just like when Aoi Keisuke occasionally behaves exaggeratedly, Arisukawa is very clear - it is actually Aoi Keisuke's serious side.
"Then, I'm sorry again, goodbye, Arisukawa-san."
Qing Keisuke turned around and left. After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel much more relaxed.
This is indeed the case. Arisugawa Asuka is shaking the Demon King's will step by step, so take this opportunity to keep the distance you should as soon as possible.
Even if Qichuan is in danger, he will never do anything unusual again!
After leaving school, Aoi Keisuke took the train to Meiji Jingu Shrine.
In the evening, most of the people who come here to worship are elderly people, climbing along the steps and shrines. The vertebrae trees and oak trees on both sides are tall and lush, and wild birds are chirping and returning to their nests.
The closer he got, the more Qing Keisuke could feel the majestic and solemn spirituality of the mountain, circulating along the mountain forest.
It complements the vitality of the entire mountain and generates rich magic power.
"Young man, the shrine will be closed soon. Come back tomorrow." An old man reminded him along the way.
"It doesn't matter, someone will come to see me."
Qing Keisuke climbed up the stairs and watched the dim sunlight filtering through the shade of the trees, leaving light red spots on the torii gate.
All the way to the shrine where he was enshrined, he did not step into it, but just looked at the calligraphy works on the walls from the outside.
Spirituality index:15→17!
Keisuke Qing was thinking about the spirituality of Meiji Jingu Shrine in vain. He could come here more often to "visit" when he has time in the future. Anyway, whether it is for fun or summer vacation, this place is a good place.
With so much spirituality, it’s okay to receive more blessings, right?
While he was walking, a girl wearing a white palace dress and holding a fan came walking down the aisle. She had a precious flower hairpin in her shiny black hair, and her gold tassels swayed as she walked.
Shake.
Charming, bright, graceful and luxurious, the chief shrine maiden of Meiji Shrine has a faint smile on her face, which makes people feel like they are taking a breath of spring breeze, and she also carries the calm and majestic manner of a servant of the gods.
——It is a completely different style of painting from the first time I saw it.
But the slightly hasty footsteps on the wooden floor still exposed the miko's heart.
"Qing Guijun! Are you here to see me?"
"That's right."
A happy smile suddenly appeared on Kamaba Yui's face, and her delicate oval face became slightly rosy.
This outfit is full of a different kind of charm.
"To be precise, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Please come to the reception room to discuss it in detail and let me serve you tea!"
Aoi Keisuke did his best, followed Yui Kamaba, changed his shoes, and walked into the area prohibited for tourists.
The quiet corridor is isolated from the summer heat. There are clergy walking along the way, wearing light white robes.
They lowered their eyebrows and bowed their eyes respectfully to the god Yui, and then looked at Qing Keisuke curiously.
Although Aoi Keisuke is wearing a school uniform, he has an extraordinary demeanor and is not nervous at all. He is still looking at the works of famous artists in the corridor.
Upon seeing this, Kamaba Yui slowed down and introduced the origin of the work to Aoi Keisuke with a smile.
This familiarity from the moment we met until now is the result of thousands of times of training as a miko.
If Aoi Keisuke hadn't seen a glimmer of expectation in her beautiful eyes, he might have been fooled.
——Abnormal, will not change easily.
Just like the tauren warrior will not be easily... defeated by pure love.
"Please come in."
Kamaba Yui pushed open the shoji door of the tea room, took off her shoes, knelt down demurely in front of the wooden coffee table, took out the stove, tea cauldron, water column, and white charcoal, started boiling water, and selected tea leaves.
"Qinggui-kun, do you have any tea you like to drink?"
"Anything is fine." Qing Keisuke sat cross-legged across from her, watching her pleasing movements, as if every move had the rhythm and beauty of a dance.
Outside the door on the other side is an exquisite small courtyard. Every plant and tree is very elegant, and it looks like a rigorous miniature landscape painting.
"Then try the green tea made by Jingu itself. I have also watered and shaded these tea leaves."
While the water was boiling, Kamaba Yui went to get desserts and incense to light them.
"Please try it, it's the yokan from the Fengye family."
After tasting the dessert, Kamaba Yui began to make tea with boiling water.
The tea bowl containing the tea is painted with white gardenia flowers, scattered dots on the dark blue bowl wall.
If he hadn't seen her other side, maybe Aoi Keisuke would sincerely appreciate Kamaba Yui.
After eating desserts and drinking hot tea, Qing Keisuke felt a long-lost peace in the tea room. Even the matter with Arisugawa seemed to have become a distant thing in an instant, and could be temporarily left behind and no longer thought about.
.
"Qing Guijun, what do you want from me?"
The sparkling eyes are indeed very similar to the deer in the jungle that suddenly looks back.
——If you don’t examine the root of this enthusiasm.
"Well..."
Qing Keisuke put down the tea bowl, put his fingers gently on the edge of the coffee table, leaned forward, and got closer. After seeing the girl's increasingly rosy face, he said softly: "I have a secret that I want to tell you, but can you keep it a secret for me?
What?"
"Even if you are tortured and humiliated, you can't say that?" The chief witch's breathing became rapid.
Qing Keisuke:?
You don’t seem to have said it to this extent, right?
But there seemed to be nothing wrong with tasting it carefully, so he nodded:
"That's right, even if the gods look down at you, you still have to keep silent."
"Hiss——"
Upon hearing this, the girl immediately became excited like water in a tea cauldron on a furnace. Even her spirituality was stimulated, and she easily exceeded four digits.
"Qing Guijun, such a request is too much!"
She said with an indescribable joyful tone: "You are clearly in the shrine now, but you still ask the witch to do such a thing that violates your faith!"
But I have to say that this is undoubtedly a stronger stimulus than physical insult.
Looking at Aoi Keisuke's unwavering eyes at this moment, Kamaba Yui trembled all over and her eyes became misty. She reached out her hand and wanted to touch Aoi Keisuke's handsome face, but he easily dodged it.
Qing Keisuke gradually understood the abnormality of Kamaba Yui.
So he added: "I will not rush you to make a decision. You can hesitate in this torture."
In other words, enjoy.
Is it the respect for status that gave rise to this unknown quirk, or is the grace of the gods too heavy, causing human nature to be distorted?
