The fitting mirror of the clothing store reflects the figure of Nane Hinata at this time. She wore a light blue plain kimono with large sleeves, and from her chest and abdomen it was all tucked into a pale yellow hakama with a dark yellow half-scarf belt.

She stood upright and looked at the front of the dress, then turned left and right to look at the side, and finally turned her back to look behind her. The hakama swings and sways with purple high-bottomed clogs with floral patterns. And the clogs hit the ground with an intermittent "click" sound.

"How?"

After examining it for herself, Naine Hinata slowly turned to look at the shopkeeper who had been with her, Jasmine.

"Hmm......" Jasmine muttered as she walked her eyes up and down repeatedly, "I see it when I stand like a peony and walk like a lily." Do you sit like a peony...... You might as well put on a show now. ”

"Hey!" Hinata immediately became angry, "Are you praising me, or are you hurting me?"

"Of course I'm praising you!" Jasmine said with an expression of disbelief, as if she had been wronged the greatest grievance in the world. "Anyway, it's a shame that you can wear such a troublesome thing in such a short time. ”

"Hey, hey. Hinata smiled proudly, and then turned on her tiptoes as she spoke, making a movement like a dance, and her big sleeves fluttered like a match, which was very beautiful. "I've been wearing a variety of kimonos since I was a kid...... There are twelve orders. ”

"Twelve!" Jasmine's face immediately changed, "It's the kind that is super troublesome to wear!"

"It's a hassle. Naine Hinata nodded as she recalled, "If you don't have someone to help you with that outfit, you won't even be able to wear it." And it weighs about 15 kilograms, and the light ones weigh at least 10 kilograms. ”

"Huh. The corners of Jasmine's mouth twitched a few times, "Your current combat suit seems to be only ten kilograms." ”

"That's an exaggeration. Hinata laughed, "Speaking of which, I recently heard that someone got a recipe similar to twelve. ”

"As far as I said, even if you brought the formula, I wouldn't make you this kind of clothes. I'm a clothing store, not an armor store!"

"I know, and even if you make it, you won't use it in this world, and the most you can use is my one. ”

Speaking of the clothes on her body, Jasmine squinted and looked at Nayin Hinata again.

"It's good-looking, it's good-looking, after all, I made it and wore it by you, a beautiful woman. But is this really necessary? Although Sunset House is one of the most exclusive restaurants in the Eastern District after Linglang Pavilion, you don't need to make a new Ha Lao tea hakama, right?"

"Of course it is!" Hinata replied solemnly, "If I still wear that little sleeve or yukata, it will make that guy think I haven't changed my clothes for a whole year!"

"How is that possible!" Jasmine looked at her questioningly, and Hinata Nain's speech was simply contemptuous of Li Mengxi's normal cognitive level. "Besides, even if that's the case, wouldn't it be nice if you wore something else. You don't really only have those two outfits, and even if it's limited to formal wear, there are a lot of others, do you?"

"Huh!" Hinata was speechless when asked. To be honest, she hadn't thought of doing this until she heard Jasmine's words, and she hadn't thought about it before. "This is because...... How can I say it......"

"Alright, alright, I see. Jasmine looked at Nain Hinata and didn't know what excuse to make, so she simply interrupted her. In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, "girls want their favorite people to see their most perfect side", but this jasmine will not be broken.

"By the way, you slaughtered him hard enough. Yangxi Ju and Linglang Pavilion, compared with these newly opened big stores, Yanshan Pavilion is simply a convenient restaurant!"

"Hmph!" Hinata put on a straightforward look, "With that guy's 'crime' against me, this punishment is a matter of course!"

"I see! So, by the way, you can punish him for waiting a little longer. As she spoke, Jasmine gestured to her left wrist. Of course, there was no watch there, but Naine Hinata immediately realized that she was talking about the time.

"Jasmine, why didn't you warn me earlier!" Hinata glanced at the clock in the lower right corner of her field of vision, flustered. He made an appointment with Li Mengxi at twelve o'clock at noon, and now it is already eleven forty-five o'clock.

"Good all the way. Jasmine walked straight to the door and opened it.

"Thank you for the clothes you made for me!" "While thanking him, Hinata Nain exerted force under her feet and rushed out with a puff of smoke.

Looking at the back of the dust along the street, Jasmine was shocked. "Clogs with such high heels can run so fast. It's really a combat group. ”

......

In the small Japanese-style private room, Li Mengxi was sitting on the side of the slender low table, still wearing a combat uniform. He tilted his head to the right, looking out through the open faux-paper side window over the distant street.

To be ashamed, it had been four days since he had been back in the city, and even three days had been since he had almost fallen asleep. And it wasn't until he walked on the road from the South District to this "Sunset Residence" that he noticed how much had changed in Hatsuba City.

There are a lot of details, and if you take stock of them one by one, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish them in one day. All in all, the city has become more prosperous.

Take the East District, take the restaurant as an example, the Yan Shan Pavilion has lost its status as the first luxury restaurant, and the district has replaced it with the Linglang Pavilion that opened on Ling Lang Xuan. And the second place is also on Linglang Xuan, Li Mengxi is here at this moment.

Today, Li Mengxi asked Hinata Nayin to invite her to dinner here, firstly to celebrate the two of them forming a team again, and secondly, to apologize. The reason why I chose this place instead of the No. 1 Linglang Pavilion is not because of money, but because it is a Japanese-style restaurant. Li Mengxi wants to use this to express respect and gratitude.

It's just that Naine Hinata hasn't arrived for a long time.

So, Li Mengxi withdrew his gaze from the window and looked at the clock at the lower right of his vision for the third time. In the past, every time he made an appointment with Hinata Nain, no matter how Li Mengxi rushed, the other party always arrived first, so the current situation made Li Mengxi a little strange.

Something must be wrong, right?

He thought worriedly, and opened the minimap without caring about being rude. Immediately, he unexpectedly found that Hinata's logo coincided with his own.

"Knock, knock!"

"Hinata-sama has arrived. The kimono-clad waiter NPC opened the door as he announced, revealing Hinata Nain's figure.

At this moment, the dress that he hadn't seen couldn't help but make Li Mengxi's eyes light up.

"You've bought another piece of clothing. He said.

"Thank you. ”

Although the target was an NPC, Naine Hinata still thanked him, and then responded to Li Mengxi.

"yes. What do you think?" she said, walking into the Japanese-style room, taking off her geta in the open space at the door, and stepping onto the wooden floor covered with tatami mats, and walking towards her seat.

The NPC waiter behind him closed the door and left after arranging his shoes.

Li Mengxi here thought about it for a long time, until he saw Hinata Nain sitting down opposite him, and then he thought of a better compliment.

"There is a Japanese saying that is just right to describe you, 'Standing like a peony, sitting like a peony, walking like a lily'. ”

The same sentence, Jasmine said it, and Li Mengxi said it, which gave Hinata Nain a completely different feeling. The former is frolic, the latter is stimulating.

She herself immediately blushed and bowed her head.

"You, so are you. I've never seen a boy in Japan who can sit so upright. ”

"That's probably why I've been training so hard since I was a kid. Li Mengxi smiled embarrassedly.

"Since childhood? But there should be no tradition of sitting upright in China, right?"

"It should be said that there was before, but now there is none. ”

"Then why do you still practice sitting upright since you were a child? And since you sit so well, it must not be ordinary sitting training. ”

"This is actually related to my family's martial arts school. What I learned was a martial art called 'Qin Jiangshu' that has been passed down since ancient times. ”

"Does Qin refer to the Qin State of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?"

"That's right. Qin began to rise from King Huiwen, especially with extremely developed military strength. The Six Kingdoms of Shandong were afraid of Qin's army, so they would often send assassins to assassinate the generals who led the army. Qin Jiangshu is a kind of martial art with strong combat that was gradually developed on the basis of fighting against assassins, which was specially studied by Qin generals, so it is called 'Qin Jiangshu'. ”

"But what does this martial art have to do with sitting upright?"

"Before the Tang Dynasty, it was still a formal Chinese sitting posture, and it was naturally the same during the Qin Dynasty. The Assassins of the Six Kingdoms usually approached Qin's military generals as guests, and the two would usually sit opposite each other when meeting. The assassination began here, and it was from here that the Qin General's technique began. In other words, sitting upright is one of the basic skills of Qin Jiangshu, and it is similar to horse steps. ”

"I see. ”

"And my sitting posture is probably not the same as yours. ”

"Different?

"What do the soles of your feet look like now?"

This question can't help but make Hinata feel inexplicable.

"The instep touches the ground and the feet are stacked on top of each other. Are you separated?"

"Hmm...... I actually saw it once to understand it. Saying that, Li Mengxi stood up all of a sudden, without any prior physical adjustment, and really stood up. Immediately, he sat down again. "Well, got it? It's actually quite simple. ”

At this point, Naine Hinata imagined her preparation for standing up from a sitting position, and she was immediately shocked and shocked.

"Have your feet been arched all the time?"

"That's right. So, from the perspective of Japanese culture, I was kneeling all the time rather than sitting. ”

Kneeling is a posture used in Japanese etiquette to receive objects, and even so, it is quite difficult to drive the whole body to stand up straight in an instant with just the forefoot exertion. And kneeling and sitting usually don't last long, but Li Mengxi used "all the time", which made Hinata Naine ask.

"How long can you stay in this position?"

"Five or six hours shouldn't be a problem. ”

"No, it won't!"

"So didn't I say it, it's similar to a horse step. In this position, if the other party does something wrong, you can quickly get up and deal with it. ”

"No wonder, you're so good. Hinata said with a little sigh, and then she remembered something again, "Speaking of awesome, Richard and they're also very good now." I heard that they also got the artifact, and there are two of them!"

"Yes. Li Mengxi responded calmly, and at the same time raised his hand to play with the panel.

Seeing him like this, Nayin Hinata, who wanted to surprise him with this news, was a little confused.

"Don't you care?"

"What's there to care about. There is no indication that the artifact-level equipment is only my 'Haotian'. It doesn't make sense that we have to get the artifact, does it?"

"It's not because you have an artifact of your own that way. You know, I'm so jealous that I drool in my dreams. ”

Hinata Naine said jokingly, but she never expected Li Mengxi to say the next sentence.

"Then I'll give you an artifact as a gift. With that, Li Mengxi materialized a weapon from the warehouse. It was a narrow-edged sword with a silver blade, an aquamarine enamel hilt, and an emerald orb embedded in the end.

Seeing this gorgeous sword being handed to him, Hinata was stunned for a few seconds.

"Oh, isn't it! an artifact! it's an artifact?"

"yes. Seeing that Hinata's Nain couldn't believe it, Li Mengxi called up the list of parameter values and pushed it over.

Sword name "Thousand Words Construct - Earth Imperial Gate";Attributes:Attack power 1800,Attack speed bonus 2.3,Magic bonus 3.5,No durability,Value change growth system;Special effect:Thousand words construction,The equipment is equipped,The wearer can obtain multiple spellcasts (at least two).

That's right, this kind of anti-heaven attack power, perverted special effects, plus can be based on the level of the equipment owner growth attribute parameters. This is undoubtedly an artifact-level weapon of the same value as "Ten Thousand Laws Must Be Broken - Haotian".

As a result, Naine Hinata showed a rather solemn expression.

"How did you get this kind of thing?"

"Remember that quest chain I did with that guy from Sinapus?"

"Hmm. ”

"Remember, what was the last monster?"

"Lance Wind Dragon, huh. ”

"Remember when it had a title?"

"Hmm. Valrhona's ethnicity. At this point, Naine Hinata finally reacted, remembering that the "Ice Dragon" that the two had faced together also had the name of "Valrhona's Ethnicity". "Could it be that this sword is the final prize of that quest chain!"

"Not bad. ”

"But, didn't you say it before, it's not too valuable......" said Hinata Naon and understood. Around that time, Li Mengxi decided to give this artifact to himself, so he deliberately said that to surprise himself. But she still pretended to be coquettish.

"Okay, you dare to lie to me!"

"Hey, I, didn't I want to surprise you!"

"Hmph!" After a cold snort, Hinata Naine turned her head, but secretly used the corner of her eye to capture Li Mengxi's expression, and when she saw that he was a little embarrassed, she laughed out loud.

So, Li Mengxi understood. He said helplessly: "I said you......"

"Alright, alright, just kidding. But are you really going to give me something so valuable?"

"Well, it may be because I have already equipped Haotian, I only have the custody of this sword instead of ownership, and it is a waste to continue to stay with me. Just take it. ”

"Oh well. Hinata smiled happily and reached out to grasp the hilt of the sword. An inquiry window popped up.

This piece of equipment is a special binding item that cannot be destroyed, discarded, or transferred. Whether or not to confirm the pick.

Without hesitation, Naine Hinata pressed confirm, but did not choose to equip it immediately. As a result, the sword was disembodied and entered Hinata Nain's warehouse.

After doing these things, Hinata Naine raised her head, and saw Li Mengxi's expression of wanting to speak and stopping.

"What's wrong? Anything else?"

"Actually...... Forget it......"

"Say whatever you want. Why are you talking like that? You're a boy!"

"Alright, I'll just say it. Actually, I want to continue the adventure, with you, of course. ”

"Okay, when are you leaving?"

Hinata Nain's answer so briskly was really unexpected by Li Mengxi.

"You, you agreed!"

"Why didn't I say yes?"

"Because, didn't you tell me to look around and not keep staring ahead?"

"Alas, can you not go down such a path to the dark? I am telling you not to keep an eye on the front, but also to pay attention to your surroundings, and not to stop you from moving forward. If you really don't move forward like that, I'm going to have to talk about you!"

"That's the case!" Li Mengxi said and laughed from the bottom of his heart as if relieved.

Seeing him like this, Nayin Hinata also smiled happily.

It was at this moment that the knock sounded again.

"Excuse me. As he spoke, the NPC opened the door and walked in with a plate, "The two of you have ordered the food to be delivered." ”

"Hmm. Thank you. Naine Hinata nodded with a smile.

"You're welcome. ”

The NPC placed two appetizers in front of Nain Hinata and Lee Mong-kee, respectively, and immediately retreated.

Looking at the dishes in front of her, Naine Hinata picked up her chopsticks and said with a smile, "Thank you to the wronged head sitting over there for giving me such a noble delicacy." So, I'm going!"

Hearing this, Li Mengxi could only smile helplessly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, please enjoy it." ”
