Didn't bother, and saw a little bastard who had been missing for many days, Orange slept unusually sweetly, and slept directly until nearly twelve o'clock, and after waking up, he didn't have the usual low blood sugar malaise, and he was rarely energetic.

Casually washing her face and putting on her coat over the back of her chair, the woman pushed open the door.

Outside the door stood a girl with short pink hair and a maid in a dress. Although she had been waiting for a long time, her expression was still calm, and she didn't see any dissatisfaction, as if waiting for oranges was a natural thing.

That's right, she is the servant of the Tono family, a professional maid. The moment the orange opened the door, the girl bowed just right.

"Good afternoon, Miss Orange. ”

"Ah, good afternoon, Jade, what time is it?"

"At eleven thirty-five o'clock, twenty-five minutes before lunchtime. The maid named Jade replied meticulously.

"Is it so late? really...... I didn't say I didn't have to wait until I got up after 9 o'clock, I'll go to you when I get up. ”

Hearing Orange's complaint, Jade just replied with a blank face.

"Serving Miss Orange is Jade's duty. ”

"Ha~ That's right, but don't be so stubborn, listen to my opinion once in a while, how can I say that I am also your service object, right?"

Orange sighed helplessly and said no more, obviously accustomed to Jade's answer. The young maid had an unusual attachment in some ways, as if she had been programmed into some kind of mechanical program.

"Emerald knows. ”

The standard bow, the unwavering voice, caused the orange to sigh again.

"Sometimes I really think you're more like a doll than Duan Zang. ”

As if echoing Orange's comments, the maid next to her was still with empty eyes and expressionless face, like a delicate doll.

"However, whether you are or Duan Zang, it's not really that you don't have feelings. You are only sealed by some kind of shackles that you have set for yourself, and I hope that one day you will find the key that will open the shackles. ”

With that, Orange walked out of the room and walked towards the central western-style pavilion, which had been back and forth many times.

Jade followed behind Orange with small steps, and there was a bit more complicated look in her empty eyes, which quickly disappeared.

"Miss Orange, your hair is messed up, do you need Jade to help you comb it?"

"Forget it, no...... No, please, but can you hurry? I'm a little hungry. ”

"Understood, please wait. ”

Jade quickly untied the orange's headband and took out a wooden comb from the pocket of the maid's apron. Feeling the friction between the teeth of the comb and the scalp, Orange was slightly curious.

"Do you still have the tools you need to comb your hair with you?"

"It was ordered by the eldest lady. ”

"That fastidious perfectionist ......"

Orange snorted and said no more. Although I'm also a picky person, I'm only limited to magic and works, and I'm very casual in other aspects. But this titular student Tono Akiba is different, her pickiness has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and infiltrated into all aspects of life, so it's really tiring to live like this.

For this reason, the two had several unpleasant encounters when they first met, and in the end, it was Maki Tono who mediated.

"It's not like that. Jade's movements were gentle, and the gaps in her lips overflowed with inscrutable words.

"Did you say anything?"

"Nope. Jade shook her head and continued to comb for the oranges.

She didn't say that Akiba's perfection was forced out, for someone she cherished.

Nor did she say that the comb had been in her pocket for nearly a year.

Although the cause was that Akiba went out without combing her hair in order to prevent Orange from getting up too late, in fact every time Jade offered to comb her hair, Orange refused until this time.

You're actually the same. So it seems that the relationship is not good, but you still become teachers and students.

It was already eleven forty-five when Orange and Jade entered the mansion. At this time, Shinji was circling around a cloaked man, and words like "not bad" and "more suitable than me" came out of his mouth from time to time.

"What are you and Duan Zang doing?" asked Orange. Although she was wrapped in a cloak and couldn't see the features, she still recognized the body under the cloak at a glance.

"Yo, get up. Shinji smiled and waved his hand, "I'm letting Miss Duan Zang test my cloak." ”

"What about the test results?"

"Very good. Sure enough, this treasure should be used by real assassins, not half-people like me. ”

"Oh, you're pretty self-aware. ”

"That is, although I feel more and more like an assassin, it is still several floors away from the famous 'Fei Kato' in history. ”

The name of the female doll is Kato Danzo, a thief whose name can be seen in kana Kusako or military books in the early Edo period, Mizupo, or ninja. Active at the end of the Warring States period, a ninja who inherited the Wind Demon school, and one of the most famous ninjas in Japanese history.

Legend has it that Kato Duanzo can manipulate puppets or puppets, but no one knows that its real body is a puppet, made by the sorcerer Fruit Heart and the first generation of Wind Demon Kotaro, who has worked for the Wind Demon School for many years, and is the master and adoptive mother of several generations of Wind Demon Kotaro.

Later, due to the lack of maintenance and battle damage, it stopped functioning, and was simply circulated in the collection world as an antiquity, and at some point it was bought by one of the owners of the Tono family as a collection, and finally given to Aozaki Orange, who is famous for his dolls, as a reward for the treatment of Tono Makihisa.

It took Orange a long time and a lot of precious materials to reboot her, and then she learned her identity and origin.

"Don't you think it's weird?"

The world's number one puppeteer blinked, and in this way ** Shinji's curiosity.

"That famous Kato Duanzo is actually a woman, or a puppet, and it has been preserved to this day. ”

"It's weird, but I don't think it's weird. When you find out that King Arthur is actually a girl, Mordred is a girl, the tyrant Nero is a girl, and Soji Okita is also a girl, and all four of them have the same face, you will find that the history books are really unreliable. ”

“……”

Oranges are dumb. I wanted to see how surprised this little bastard looked, but I didn't expect to be scared first.

"What do you mean...... It's all true?"

"Did I lie to you?"

"Lied, for example, last time we made an appointment to go to see the only book of magic in the Catherine period, and you released my pigeon. And last ......"

"Stop, stop—"

Seeing that Orange began to count his mistakes, Shinji hurriedly raised his hand in surrender.

"I didn't expect you to remember it after so long. ”

"Of course, don't you know that women hold grudges? ”

"You won, I put it another way, did I lie to you on the crucial issue?"

"Nope. Orange shook his head, "In other words, what you say is true, but where did you know that?"

"It's a long story, so I'll find a chance to talk to you slowly, and now, let's have lunch first. ”

As he spoke, the door of the restaurant was pushed open by a girl wearing a kimono but wearing an apron, giving a sense of anachronism.

"Miss Orange, Second Young Master Shen, it's time to dine. ”

Seeing this girl who was almost exactly the same as Jade, Shinji's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity.
