The maid's footsteps sounded from near to far.

Su Wu's eyes lingered on the three knives for a while.

The great red lotus is hidden in the womb, and the ceremonial sword is swallowed up by the shadows.

He grabbed the "Thunder Pool" on the eucalyptus, stood up and left the house.

…

Side hall.

The light gauze in front of the hall is fluttering in the wind,

The maid stood quietly in the corridor.

Inside several soy sauce-colored doors covered with white window paper, the wooden floor is smooth and shiny.

One candle after another lit up in the slightly dim side hall,

On a tatami by the window,

A long dwarf eucalyptus was arranged.

There are some pickles, boiled fish, pickled venison shank, rabbit meat, and a small amount of vegetables on the eucalyptus.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

There seemed to be water floating in the girl's eyes, which looked transparent and light. In a waxy voice, she asked Su Wu who was eating rabbit meat,

Instead, Su Wu's expression froze.

Stop the tachyon,

He looked at her somewhat unaccustomedly: "Miss Haruko, are you sick?"

"ah?

No..." Haruko shook her head and continued to look at him expectantly, "Is the roasted rabbit delicious?"

"Too much salt,

too salty.

But whatever you eat is just to fill your stomach, as long as you can eat it." Su Wu heard this and took another piece of rabbit meat. After tasting it, he gave his own evaluation. At the end, he reminded Qingzi, "The principle of being a gentleman is,

That means not arbitrarily angering others and treating those in a weaker position than yourself harshly.

So don’t punish the maid in the kitchen who cooked this dish because of my comments.”

"Abu-kun is right." Haruko nodded, her face turning red strangely.

——This dish was not made by a kitchen maid,

It was completely made by her own hands.

Su Wu continued to eat the food,

Qingzi watched Su Wu immersed in eating, and suddenly felt that this was very satisfying, so she gave up the idea of ​​talking to the person opposite.

Now Su Wu has completely returned the power of housekeeping to Qingzi,

In order to prevent this sensitive girl from becoming frightened again because of his involvement in the affairs of the Inoue family,

Therefore, from beginning to end of the meal, he did not ask the other party whether anything happened to the Inoue family since he was not at the manor yesterday.

If there are some difficult situations that Haruko cannot handle,

Wait for the other party to take the initiative to inform you,

It's not too late to deal with it.

The two of them finished their breakfast in tacit silence.

All the food on the table was swept away by Su Wu.

Qingzi didn't eat much, but she still felt extremely satisfied, especially when she saw Su Wu finish the plate of rabbit meat.

She watched Su Wu straighten his back, and the sunlight cast from behind him reflected his shadow.

The shadow covered her body, making her feel extremely comfortable.

At this moment,

Su Wu took off the half-pole knife from his waist.

It was placed on a clean plate that had been removed from the dinner plate.

"Ms. Haruko,

In the future, I will learn swordsmanship from Nobuo Takeda, and I can use this sword as my portable sword."

"Thunder pond?"

Haruko muttered,

Picking up the knife on the strip with great interest,

Hold the handle of the knife with one hand and gently draw the blade——

The bright sword light was like thunder and lightning, so that she didn't dare to open her eyes for a long time!

She has a family background, so she can naturally see how extraordinary this knife is.

Holding the knife tightly in the palm of your hand,

His eyes were full of reluctance, but he still pushed the knife towards Su Wu: "This knife...has surpassed the top grade and is too precious. Does Abu really want to give it to me?"

"Miss Haruko can give the secret key of Jade Mountain as a gift.

It is only natural that I give Miss Haruko a semi-high sword in return."

Hearing his words,

Haruko instead put down the knife,

Sit upright,

The little face looked at Su Wu seriously: "This means that we have nothing to do with each other, and we can have nothing to do with each other, right?"

"?" Su Wu frowned and looked at Qingzi, not knowing why she made such a statement?

Seeing that he was silent, Qingzi's expression became even more gloomy, and the water in her eyes turned into tears. She lowered her head and whispered softly: "In the past two days, Mr. Abu has invited someone to teach me.

Give me the power to restrain the warriors,

I didn’t even return home last night,

Now you are giving me such a precious sword in return, is it because you are gradually estranged from my relationship with the Inoue family?

Mr. Abu, why is this so?"

Su Wu opened his mouth,

It took a long time before he spoke in this suffocating silence: "Miss Haruko, I think you may have misunderstood. If nothing else, I still need the help of the Inoue family even to mine the ore from Yuse Mountain.

How to talk about separation from the Inoue family?
