Takehara Maki's words were full of ridicule and curiosity. She stood beside the bed, folded her hands on her chest, and looked at the two people on the bed with a playful expression.
Saya Tsunoda seemed to be still immersed in sleep, not affected by Takehara Maki's words at all, and still lying quietly on the bed.
Aragaki Jing sat on the bed with his upper body naked, scratching his head in embarrassment, but did not explain anything.
Takehara Maki raised her eyebrows. She walked to the bed and reached out to poke Saya Tsunoda's cheek, trying to wake Saya Tsunoda up.
But, alas, she slept soundly.
Maki Takehara looked at Saya Tsunoda's sleeping face and shook her head helplessly.
She turned to look at Aragaki Jing, with a hint of smile in her eyes: "Did you study really hard last night?"
Aragaki Yasushi was even more embarrassed by Takehara Maki's smiling eyes.
But at this moment, the phone rang, saving Yasu Aragaki from embarrassment.
"Junior Aragaki, are you up? My people are here."
What came out of the phone was Saionji Tetsuya's voice.
Previously, Aragaki Yasushi had made an appointment with him to go to his house to compete with him in swordsmanship today.
Drop by to attend the social dinner held at Saionji's house this evening.
Yasushi Aragaki picked up the phone, glanced at Saya Tsunoda and Maki Takehara next to him, and then said to the phone: "Senior Saionji, I'm already up. Is your person here? I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Yasushi Aragaki turned to Takehara Maki and said, "Senior Saionji's people have arrived."
"So fast?"
"Should I go change some clothes?"
There was some hesitation on Takehara Maki's face.
Maki Takehara had just gotten off work and was wearing more everyday clothes.
Wearing a well-tailored white shirt on her upper body, it seemed to be tailor-made for her, tightly fitting her graceful figure. The neckline was slightly open, revealing the looming collarbone, which was like a pearl glowing under the moonlight, attracting people. daydream.
The top button of the shirt was deliberately left unbuttoned, revealing a lazy and casual beauty.
The hem of the shirt was casually tucked into a pair of high-waisted straight jeans. The high-waist design made her slim figure more slim, and the straight-leg silhouette outlined her slender and straight legs.
Her slender waist was gently restrained by the delicate leather belt, as if she could feel her softness and warmth with just a gentle grip.
She was wearing a pair of white sneakers with spotless uppers. The white socks on top of the shoes added a bit of purity and temptation. The edges of the socks gently wrapped around her ankles, revealing a fair and delicate part of her legs. Skin, ambiguous and alluring.
"There's no need to put on a formal dress."
Aragaki Jing shook his head.
"Isn't there a dinner party tonight?"
After hearing Aragaki Yasushi's words, Takehara Maki still felt a little uneasy.
"When the time comes, just ask someone to buy a formal dress."
"After all, during the day, you don't have to wear a formal dress, and you have to practice swordsmanship with the senior student from Saionji Temple."
Under Aragaki Yasushi's persuasion, Takehara Maki nodded and did not change any more clothes.
Aragaki Jing walked to the changing room and casually put on his daily clothes.
Relying on the appearance that has been enhanced by the label, no matter what kind of clothes he wears on Aragaki Yasushi, he is quite handsome.
Just when Aragaki changed his clothes and was about to leave home.
Takehara Maki glanced at Saya Tsunoda who was still sleeping on the bed.
"What should I do, Tsunoda-san?"
"I'll leave her a message."
Aragaki Jing picked up the pen, wrote a few words in the notebook, and put it on the bedside table.
Then, Takehara Maki lightly took Aragaki Yasushi's arm, and the two of them headed downstairs like a couple.
Downstairs of the apartment, a black business car was parked quietly. It was low-key and mysterious, as if it was waiting for some important moment.
When Aragaki Yasushi and Takehara Maki appeared downstairs, the eyes of a middle-aged man who looked like a driver wearing sunglasses suddenly lit up.
He was obviously attracted by the outstanding looks of Aragaki Yasushi and Takehara Maki, and a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He quickly stepped forward and opened the car door for Aragaki Yasushi and Takehara Maki, with a respectful and enthusiastic smile on his face.
The black business car drove on the road and soon arrived at the Saionji family's villa in Chiyoda District.
This villa skillfully combines Western exquisite style with traditional Japanese charm, showing a unique and elegant beauty.
The main part of the villa is made of hard and warm stone. Each stone is carefully polished and closely integrated with each other to create this solid and magnificent building.
The roof is covered with red tiles, arranged neatly, like fish scales closely connected.
Under the sunlight, these tiles shine with a charming luster, forming a sharp contrast with the white walls of the villa, making the entire building more vivid and layered.
The villa is surrounded by green trees and the fragrance of flowers. Whenever the breeze blows, the leaves sway gently and make a rustling sound.
After Aragaki took a look at it, he suddenly had the idea of buying a villa.
The main reason is that if he has a villa, he wants to use the [Iron Man] label to make it easier and more convenient to build some high-tech equipment.
Yasushi Aragaki plans to activate the [Money Ability] of the [Iron Man] tag in a while and rely on his strong financial luck to obtain a large amount of funds.
Then think of ways to buy a villa.
At that time, he can find Tetsuya Saionji as a middleman to help him trade a villa in the city center.
The black business car parked in the courtyard of Saionji's house. As soon as the car stopped, the driver quickly ran to the rear door. He stood respectfully, his hand on the door handle, ready to open the door for Aragaki Jing. .
However, Aragaki Jing seemed not used to such service.
Before the driver could react, he quickly opened the car door himself and quickly stepped out of the car.
After he stood firm, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Takehara Maki in the car.
That hand was long and powerful, as if it could accommodate all tenderness and firmness.
He lowered his head slightly and said in a gentle voice: "Maki, get out of the car."
Takehara Maki looked at his outstretched hand, she gently took his hand, supported his arm and walked out of the car.
The two people's movements were tacit and harmonious, as if they were a loving newlyweds.
"Junior Aragaki."
A clear shout broke the silence around him. Aragaki Jing, who had just stepped out of the black business car, raised his head when he heard the sound.
His gaze passed through the greenery of the courtyard and was fixed on the direction from which the sound came.
I saw Saionji Tetsuya, the senior who had briefly crossed paths at Fujiwara Mashiro's birthday dinner, waving to him with a smile.
In addition to Tetsuya Saionji, Yasushi Aragaki also saw Kazuhiko Saionji, a first-year freshman in the kendo club.
With admiration and respect for Yasu Aragaki in his eyes, this young classmate followed closely beside Tetsuya Saionji.
Behind them, there was also a middle-aged man wearing a crisp suit and a respectful expression, and a middle-aged woman wearing a maid's outfit and well-behaved.
Obviously, they are the housekeeper and maid of the Saionji family, and they are also here to welcome the arrival of Aragaki Yasushi.
Aragaki Yasushi smiled slightly and nodded gently to Tetsuya Saionji who came over.
He knew that although the senior had just met him briefly at the birthday dinner, he obviously had a good impression of him, and the warm greeting at this moment was the best proof.
"Senior Saionji, long time no see." Yasushi Aragaki's voice was gentle and cordial, as if the two had been friends for many years.
With the addition of several tags that can increase the favorability, Saionji Tetsuya's favorability towards Aragaki Yasu continues to rise.
Saionji Tetsuya walked up to Aragaki Yasushi, patted his shoulder and said with a smile.
"Senior Aragaki, you have kept me waiting for a long time. Ever since I last saw you at Senior Fujiwara's birthday dinner, I have never forgotten you."
Aragaki Jing smiled a little sheepishly and said, "Senior has received the award. I am very grateful to receive the invitation from senior."
At this time, Saionji Kazuhiko also came forward, bowed to Aragaki Jing and said: "Hello, Aragaki-senpai, I'm glad you can be our guest."
In Saionji Kazuhiko's view, with Aragaki Yasushi's level of kendo, coming to their home to compete with his brother and himself was nominally a competition, but in reality it was guidance.
Aragaki Yasushi replied with a smile: "Saionji-san is too polite."
"Senior Aragaki, just call me Kazuhiko." Saionji Kazuhiko raised his head, his eyes shining with anticipation.
Saionji Tetsuya looked at this scene and said with a smile: "Senior Aragaki, don't be polite. Since you are a guest at our Saionji home, we will naturally treat you well."
"Come on, let's go in. Don't stand outside."
After saying that, he took Aragaki Yasu's hand and walked towards the villa, followed closely by Takehara Maki.
Her eyes flowed between Aragaki Yasushi and the Saionji brothers, and she couldn't help but be surprised by Aragaki Yasushi's influence.
The status of the Saionji family seems to be quite extraordinary. I didn't expect Aragaki-san to have such a good relationship with someone from such a family.
But then consider that Aragaki is a vampire. Compared with the extraordinary power possessed by the vampires, the power and wealth among these ordinary people are nothing at all.
The interior decoration of the Saionji family villa is low-key and luxurious, and every detail reveals the taste and status of the owner.
Everyone walked through the spacious hall and came to a more exquisitely decorated living room.
Saionji Toru also invited everyone to sit down, asked the maid to bring tea, and then personally poured the fragrant tea for Aragaki Yasushi and Takehara Maki.
"Senior Aragaki, try it, it should taste pretty good." Tetsuya Saionji said with a smile.
Aragaki Jing picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He immediately felt a fragrant and mellow tea soup lubrication in his mouth, which was refreshing and refreshing.
He nodded appreciatively, "Good tea, Senior Tetsuya is really thoughtful."
Takehara Maki also took a bite and was also amazed by the wonderful taste. Although she was a vampire, as a vampire, she could also feel the taste of food.
Next, everyone started chatting about kendo.
Saionji Kazuhiko couldn't wait to ask Aragaki Yasushi for tips on kendo.
Yasushi Aragaki is not stingy with his experience, patiently answering Saionji Kazuhiko's questions, and also giving some suggestions and guidance from time to time.
Although Takehara Maki didn't know much about kendo, she couldn't help but be deeply attracted by Aragaki Yasu's serious expression and professional guidance.
She discovered that Yasushi Aragaki had such profound attainments in kendo, which made her even more impressed by him.
At this time, Saionji Tetsuya's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and he issued a challenge invitation to Aragaki Yasushi: "Senior Aragaki, how about we spar with bamboo swords in this courtyard?"
Aragaki Jing was slightly stunned at first, and then readily accepted the proposal.
Unlike Saionji Kazuhiko, Saionji Tetsuya's label only has an ordinary level of [Kendo Mastery].
Presumably, his kendo strength is at best that of an average member of the kendo club.
Considering that the Kendo Club was unable to even advance to the finals of the Jade Dragon Banner Kendo Competition when Tetsuya Saionji joined the club.
Even if they both belong to [Kendo Proficiency], Saionji Tetsuya's strength is not that strong.
However, Aragaki Yasushi still agreed.
After Aragaki Yasu agreed, the Saionji family's maid quickly took two bamboo knives and handed them to Aragaki Yasu and Saionji Tetsuya, and the two walked to an open area in the courtyard.
Takehara Maki stood aside and looked at Aragaki Yasushi expectantly.
Although she knew that the bamboo sword competition would not be as dangerous as the real sword, she still felt nervous and excited about the contest between the two.
Aragaki Yasushi and Saionji Tetsuya each held one end of the bamboo sword and bowed slightly to the other to show respect.
Then, they simultaneously assumed the starting position and prepared to start the competition.
Unlike in the Kendo Club, neither of them wore protective gear. Logically speaking, this was actually a very dangerous state.
However, Aragaki Yasushi doesn't care. With the [Brave] label in hand, will he still worry about this?
With a low shout from Tetsuya Saionji, he took the lead in launching the attack.
His steps were flexible and steady, and the bamboo sword in his hand was like a snake, moving left, right, up and down, constantly testing Aragaki's defense line.
Aragaki Yasushi responded calmly, and every time he swung his bamboo sword, he blocked Saionji Tetsuya's attack just right.
The two people moved quickly in the courtyard, their figures flickering in the light, and the sound of the bamboo knives clashing was clear and sweet.
Takehara Maki watched intently. She was deeply attracted by this wonderful competition.
"Brother's strength is far inferior to Aragaki-senpai."
Saionji Kazuhiko commented so sharply, not giving his brother any face at all.
After a fierce exchange, Aragaki Yasushi lightly stabbed him in front of Saionji Tetsuya's neck.
Saionji Toru also lost, but his face was filled with a smile of satisfaction and joy. It was obvious that this competition made him very satisfied.
Saionji Kazuhiko also ran over excitedly, surrounding Aragaki Jing and constantly asking about the details of the competition just now.
Aragaki Yasushi patiently answered his questions.
Later, Saionji Kazuhiko took the bamboo sword from his brother's hand and started sparring with Aragaki Yasushi.
After having lunch at Saionji's house at noon, Saionji Tetsuya took Aragaki Yasushi and Takehara Maki and walked towards the basement of the villa.
He wants to take Aragaki Jing to see his collection of famous swords.
Yasushi Aragaki is also very interested in the famous swords collected by Tetsuya Saionji.
