May 6th.

Weaving the temple, knotting the rope workshop.

"Akiba, look... His skin is so white! ”

"Anko... It's not good to talk about guests like this. ”

"Really... It's obviously Akiba who has been staring at Izumi-kun for the longest time, which is really enviable. It's Kirinji's hot springs..."

In a group of people wearing various kimonos, warblers and swallows commented on the Qinghe... It was very embarrassing to sit in the corner of this knotted rope workshop.

Opposite him was a wooden loom and yesterday's little maid, Xiao Xia.

In front of him is a small wooden round stool with a hole in the center, and on the tatami mat next to it are various colorful cotton threads.

He heard the conversations of the kimono girls around him clearly... In this place where yin and yang are in decline, it would have been a very strange thing for a male teenager like him to appear.

Coupled with his crystal clear skin from the Kirin Temple... inevitably attracted more attention: envy, curiosity, scrutiny, a little jealousy and unwillingness.

"Izumi-kun, from today... Thank you for your advice. ”

Xiao Xia, who has short hair with red bangs and a round face, bowed to Qinghe seriously.

"Xiao Xia, please!"

Qinghe, who folded his hands, smiled wryly... What is this?

I didn't experience anything at Kiryu, but I realized it here... But he was not happy at all.

His test mission... It's neither complicated nor simple.

Even by not passing, it depends on Senjumaru's personal "mood" ... He needs to follow Xiao Xia in front of him and learn to weave knotted ropes for 10 days.

When the time comes, no matter how much you learn, you have to interrupt... Then go to see Senjumaru and tell her what she understands about "thread".

Speaking of "lines", Kiyowa really doesn't know anything... Although he loves to read.

But this kind of thing that has nothing to do with life, or even almost synonymous with women... He really hadn't read a few.

It's the needlework he knows... It was also when he was practicing with Shiba that the other party handed him his hand: this was to cultivate "carefulness".

Still, he remembered an anime movie he had watched... Your name, and the girl who longed for the big city and shouted "Let me be a handsome Tokyo guy in the next life" in the countryside to the sky... Miyasui clover.

"Let me tell Izumi-kun about the knotted rope first... If you don't know where it comes from and what it does, you won't be able to pass the hall master's level. ”

Xiao Xia smiled sweetly and straightened up... The big black eyes reveal a lot of seriousness.

Qinghe could only nod... It's all come to this, what else can he do?

Unexpectedly, the first three levels slipped away, and before he was about to return to the "True Name Palace" to accept the monk's test, he was stopped by Senjumaru.

With Xiao Xia's narration, Qinghe gradually understood some things...

For example, "knotted rope" is to tie two pieces of rope together, that is, to connect two sections of rope together.

"Knotted rope" is a method used by people to remember things and convey information before the creation of writing: according to legend, big things are tied in big knots, and small things are tied in small knots.

With the evolution of time, it has become a traditional rope art jewelry... Qing He has seen a lot of this kind of thing: the daily necessities of the nobles of the Jingling Court, the clothing decorations, the hairbands of the maidens, the bracelets, and even the armor pieces connected by knotted ropes on the ancient armor.

There are three forms of knotted ropes... Horn hit the button, flat hit the button, pill hit the button.

The hairband of Miyasui Sanye is a flat button... And the round stool with holes in front of him is called "Marutai".

The loom in front of Konatsu is called "Ayatakedai"... Including the mat he now made under his buttocks, it is also woven with knotted rope.

It is not difficult for Qinghe to record this information... But it's a little difficult for him to really understand the meaning and the "thread" in Senjumaru's mouth.

Seriously, this field does belong to women... Although he is very careful, he is really male physiologically, and it is a little difficult to be as slender and sensitive as a woman.

It's difficult... It's not impossible... Although Qinghe was not willing to do this.

Use the mirror flow to transform your "perspective" to women or something... It's already a spiritual "motherhood", it's too shameful.

But looking at the fingers flying in front of me, Xiao Xia, who is doing the demonstration quickly and not messily... Qinghe frowned slightly: It is not difficult to imitate 100% of the time, but you will lose that understanding.

Compared with shame, Qinghe is more afraid of failure: he can break the rules, but he will not break the agreement... What's more, he has already received many favors from the top three.

"Nianghua... I'm a woman's perspective... 10 days of words... Change it back to..."

"It's almost 1 month... Hahaha... Weak Spring, you also have today... Your shy and angry look, the young master will remember it firmly."

"It's up to you... After the matter between the Invisible Empire and Aizen is resolved, the Slashing Knife will probably be useless... Well, let people think about it, where should they be sealed? It's embarrassing."

Qinghe, who made the decision, began to transform with great shame... Even if he was disgusted by himself, he still came hard.

"Disgusting, disgusting... You win... Don't forget my five photo albums!!"

was so disgusted that Xiao Hei directly disconnected the spiritual link between the two... Qinghe also breathed a sigh of relief: This is the best.

For the next ten days... It's going to be black history, but it's going to have to be done.

…

…

May 16th.

"Wow... Izumi-chan is great! Can this red headband be given to me? ”

Xiao Xia's eyes flashed, blinking... The little blushed and fluttered, completely unaware that he had hugged Qinghe, just like he did with other girls.

"Hmm... If Natsu likes it, just take it. Later... But I'm going to see the lord of the temple. ”

Qinghe swallowed the female "I" into his stomach and quietly took Xiao Xia's arms away from himself.

"Ahh I'm sorry, I completely forgot that Izumi-chan was a boy... You look at it this way, except that the front is a little flat..."

The corners of Kiyowa's mouth twitched and loosened the pigtail behind his head... In the past ten days, I have gained a lot from understanding the "line".

"Probably... Can you pass the level... No, it has to be."

Aware that his personality is a little uncertain, Qinghe straightens his body... As Xiao Hei judged, it will take at least 30 days to erase the memory of this black history.

I have to say... Human habits are terrible.

Once you get used to a certain posture of living, you can't help but become dependent... This dependence is so terrible that it is sometimes difficult to detect it.

"Thank you, Xiaoxia, for taking care of you for the past 10 days."

Qinghe bowed to the innocent but serious little girl in front of him and thanked him... She is 110 years old this year, and she is just an 11-year-old girl in this world.

Especially in this paradise-like environment... His mind is even simpler.

Yes, these 10 days... He used an astonishing transformation to become a "best friend" with the other party.

"Izumi... Monarch... Really work hard and you will succeed! ”

Xiao Xia puffed out her cheeks and changed her name for Qinghe... The person in front of him seems to have changed back to his original self at this moment: calm, plain, and extraordinary.

"Peace of mind... I'm Xiao Xia's big disciple. ”

Kiyowa gently rubbed her head, his gaze swept around while not forgetting to smile... The girls in the knotting rope workshop also accepted him, an "alien" who was thrown over from the sky.

"Goodbye, everyone."

At the entrance, Kiyowa waved his hand to say his final goodbye.

"Come on, Izumi-chan!"

The unanimous response of the girls made Qinghe's face red... Turn around and run away in small steps.

didn't take a few steps, Qinghe was stunned in place, smiling bitterly... Even if he passes the test of Senjumaru, he will have to rest here for 1 month to break his personality back.

Otherwise, go to see the monk with such a wavering appearance... If the other side's demand is to fight, it will be a real disaster.
