Chapter 253: Spirituality

The cool breeze of the night gently blew Chiho Ri's face, and she sat on the windowsill and looked at the street lamp below from time to time, Raiden Mio didn't go there tonight, just stayed in the room alone and didn't know what she was doing.

Chiho Li looked at her hands in the moonlight, for some reason, for a month of working here, she couldn't sleep every night because of the heat, but today she felt a chill around her, and it was rare to shiver on a midsummer night, Chiho Li smiled self-deprecatingly, let the window open, and fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, Chiho woke up early and made Raiden Mio's favorite breakfast in the kitchen.

"It's six o'clock...... It's time to wake up Mio. Chiho Ri put the morning on the dining table, and was about to go upstairs to wake up Raiden Mio, only to find that she had already arranged her messy hair and walked down the stairs, "Ah, Miss Mio, good morning, I woke up so early today." ”

"I promised you that I would go out with you today, and there is still an hour, are you ready?"

"Well, thank you, Mio-san, for granting my request. Chiho Ri pulled Raiden Mio to the restaurant and sat down on a chair on her shoulder, "I made what Mio likes to eat today, and I reduced the amount of bacon that Mio usually has a little bit in consideration of the nutritional balance." ”

Chiho said as she took out a small bowl from the kitchen behind her and placed it in front of Raiden Mio.

"What is this?" asked Raiden Mio, poking the white thing in the small bowl with her chopsticks.

"This is the fresh lily I learned from Miss Fujiwa a few days ago, soaking the petals of the lily in honey has a calming effect, and I see that Miss Mio can't sleep every night, so I thought of making something like this for you to taste. ”

Raiden Mio was stunned for a few seconds, looked at Chihori and asked, "Have you already eaten it?"

"Hmm...... Sort of, because there are too many lilies picked off, so I eat some of them first, and if they don't get fresh, I have to throw them away. Chiho Li held her cheeks and looked at Raiden Mio's mouth when she was eating, there was no sound, and the frequency of the rise and fall of her upper and lower jaws was also very slow, as if she was savoring the taste of lilies.

After ten minutes, Mio put down the chopsticks in her hand and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief beside her.

"Miss Mio, are you satisfied with your breakfast today?"

"The taste is average, but overall it's not bad. Raiden Mio grabbed the handbag hanging on the hanger and changed into the high heels she often wears, "Chihori, today is your day off, have you figured out where to go?"

Chiho nodded.

"Then I'll go and get my father's men ready to go in the car. ”

"Well, Mio-sama, wait a minute. Chiho stopped Mio, "If you can, it's just the two of us, okay?"

"It's a long way from here to the city center. ”

"It's okay, I've already planned the route so I can have more time for us to be together. ”

Raiden Mio was silent for a long time, her eyes slightly ruddy, and she agreed.

The two of them left the Raiden house and boarded a bus to the subway station in front of Asahino Town, where they walked every morning.

"There are fewer passengers than I expected......" Chiho Ri and Mio sat down by the window in the back, there were only two of them in this car, because it was the starting station, and most of the people in Asahino Town would stay in the town, and few people would go to the city at this time.

"If you want to go to the subway station, you can get on this car from the bottom of the mountain of the Raiden house. ”

"Mio-sama, we have a whole day, and if we go back too early, we will be left with regrets. Chihori looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, and a large sea of lavender flowers crossed her line of sight like a river, "The sea of flowers is the most beautiful in the morning, and Mio-sama also noticed this and came here every morning, right?"

"Now, Chihori. ”

"What's the matter, Mio-san?"

The first time Raiden Mio chatted with her so seriously, she was inevitably a little uncomfortable, and she vomited for a long time before asking, "Why did you come to work at Raiden's house?"

"Well...... this question" Chiho didn't seem to want to mention this story, but told Mio anyway, "It was the master who sent me here, and I have lived with the master since I was a child, and I have never met my father and mother." They used to be best friends, so my mother entrusted me to my master and agreed to send me to work when I was fourteen. ”

"Why would your mother entrust you to someone else?" said Raiden Mio, puzzled.

"Because they're all dead. ”

Raiden Mio didn't continue to ask, even if it was her character, she didn't want to do things that were disrespectful to the dead.

"I don't know the specific reason, anyway, after the master completed my mother's commission, we don't have any relationship anymore, I'm just a member of the Raiden family now, and I'm Miss Mio's maid. ”

Before you know it, the bus arrives at the metro station, which is crowded and most of the traffic is concentrated towards the city center because it is a Sunday.

"Mio-san, I've got a ticket, let's go. ”

This is the first time that Chiho has come to the center of Furano since joining the Raiden family, although it is not as good as the metropolis, but it also has a different flavor, this lavender city is fragrant, but in this floral fragrance, there seems to be another smell.

Leaving the subway station, Chiho suddenly approached Mio's body and sniffed the scent on her body with her nose.

"What for?"

Chiho Ri's brain flashed with light, as if something had been right: "It turns out that the smell of knife oil I smelled yesterday is the fragrance of Miss Mio's body......"

"Where are we going now?" Raiden Mio sighed, she had to accompany Chiho Li the whole time today, but she didn't know anything about today's itinerary.

"Let's go to that store. Chiho Ri seemed to have a goal in mind, and walked straight to an accessory shop across the square.

"This is ......" Raiden Mio stopped at the door of the jewelry store, looking up at the store's sign.

"Miss Fujiwa told me, and she said that this is the first time Miss Mio helped her decorate her room. ”

"Masako, that guy, do superfluous things. ”

"Jingle bell~" The welcome bell on the door frame rang, and a clerk hurriedly stood up from behind the counter.

"Welcome!"

Chiho had never been to this store before, but I had heard Fujiwa talk about it, but I didn't expect it to be just an ordinary toy store.

"What do you need?" the clerk asked.

"Let's pick it yourself, Masako should have told you, right?" Raiden Mio's tone was obviously different from before, and although it sounded a little uncomfortable, it always felt like the distance between them was slowly getting closer.

Miss Fujiwa said...... If I don't know what to choose, I'll let Mio-san take my place. ”

"What?" Raiden Mio frowned, and though she wanted to refuse, she finally gave up on the idea, "Forget it, no matter what happens to your room after that, it has nothing to do with me." ”

"Good~Good~"

After picking out some decorations and wallpaper, the two left the jewelry store with a few heavy bags.

"Now, is it time to go home?" Raiden Mio Chiho doesn't seem to have the next goal, it seems that she only learned about this from Fujiwa, after all, when they came here together, they simply bought accessories and returned to Raiden's house, and did not linger any longer.

"How could it be......" Chiho Ri tried her best to pretend that she had her next destination, and walked over a path behind the plaza with Mio, intending to cross the floors to the shopping street behind.

"Sure you don't have a next location yet, do you?"

"Hmm......" Chiho Li didn't speak, and walked for nearly a hundred meters before he found that Raiden Mio seemed to be alone behind him.

Turning around, Raiden Mio was carrying the bag and staring blankly at the fork in the road on the left.

"Mio-sama?"

"Is there a new sword shop here...... I've never seen it before. Mio glanced at Chihori in front of her and motioned for her to come over to her.

"Are you going to go in and have a look?" asked Chihori.

"No, it's up to you to call the shots today, so you don't have to force it if you don't want to go. ”

"It's okay, let's go check it out, maybe there's something you like. ”

Hearing Chiho Li say this, Raiden Mio didn't care about her face and ran all the way into the brand-new house of the store.

"Oh, the first guest of the day is a beautiful lady, please take a look. "The owner of this shop is an uncle with a beard on his face, dressed like a medieval blacksmith, and has a rough voice, which is afraid that ordinary people will not dare to enter.

Chihori followed Mio into the room, where there were about a hundred swords on display, each of which looked like a work of art, but Mio didn't seem to like anything, pouting and carefully examining the knives below in front of the crystal cabinet.

"It seems that a customer who knows the goods has come today. The uncle looked at Raiden Mio's serious eyes and exclaimed.

"Eh, why did Uncle say that?" asked Chiho Ri, pulling a short knife from the wall and looking up.

"Abandon the ornate decorated knives on the doors and walls of the storefront, and go straight to the crystal cabinet in the back, if you are not familiar with swords, you will definitely be attracted by the ornate scabbard and hilt, and will not care whether the blade inside is sharp or not. The guest's eyes seemed to be able to see through the scabbard, and it seemed to me that she was looking at the blade inside. ”

Chiho Li was a little shocked by what the uncle said, and indeed he was also confused by those gorgeous appearances, and he didn't notice that the swords inside were simple but could be called the best, and when he thought about it, the knives placed in Mio's room did not have a very gorgeous appearance, just touching the blade, there was a feeling of aura rushing to the brain, which was probably the so-called spirituality of the knife.

Suddenly, Chiho Ri's afterglow caught a glimpse of a small knife with fine workmanship behind her uncle, and under the black-gold scabbard, a blade that shone like starlight attracted her attention.

"Oh, did you like that?" the uncle saw Chiho Ri's eyes, so he picked up the knife, "This knife is the treasure of my town shop here, and it is said that Ishida Mitsunari used it during the Warring States period, so it has been kept until now." ”
