Chapter 457 (1/2)
<hr><hr>
The night slowly descend upon the land as the sun went down beyond the horizon. One could just faintly make out the stars dotting the night sky adding a bit of color to the black monotone. The moon, however, is nowhere to be seen.
A luxurious car parked itself outside of the Itsuka residence. When the door opened, 1 male and 3 females got down from the car.
They are Wu Yan & co who returned from their trip to the hot spring resort.
”Well, I am returning now…”
Murasame Reine who had baggy eyes bid her farewell. She is the one who did the most work during this trip. She drove them there but she didn't bath with the gang. She did her own stuff while the others had fun in the hot spring. What a professional woman.
When she left, everyone turned their attention back towards the house. Meanwhile, Yos.h.i.+no looked up at the starry skies with an entranced look.
The stars littering the sky like beautiful gems suspended in the sky. Her eyes are reflecting the stars making her eyes look stellar as well.
Wu Yan stopped and he asked Yos.h.i.+no.
”What's the matter?”
Surprised by the sudden question, she bashfully replied.
”Erm… it's so pretty…”
”Pretty?”
Wu Yan raised his head and he took in the sight. True enough, the scenery above them is as beautiful as it gets but he is more or less used to this. For one, the scene of the sky and sea merging together during his trip with the girls to the beach in Hayate The Combat Butler's world is much more gorgeous than this.
Of course, Wu Yan didn't say anything since he knew why Yos.h.i.+no is behaving like this.
He squatted down and he rubbed her head through her hoodie. He continued in a soft tone.
”Have you never seen this before?…”
Yos.h.i.+no enjoyed being rubbed like this, she narrowed her eyes while blus.h.i.+ng. She replied in a small voice.
”Nn, I have never seen anything like this…”
Tohka and commander mode Kotori turned around with sympathetic eyes.
Yos.h.i.+no is a spirit of ice and water. Every time she descended, she would bring about rainclouds due to her spiritual powers. Every time she looks up at the sky, she would only see the same old grey clouds hanging overhead.
The crowd remembered how she woke up with a sunny face after looking at the bright blue sky.
She's really pitiful in this way.
Wu Yan tickled her nose.
”Brace yourself, you have all the time in the world to enjoy sceneries like this…”
Yos.h.i.+no nodded with a blissful expression. Her happiness is infectious as everybody smiled when they saw her smiling.
He rubbed her head one last time before standing up. He hesitated at the thought of entering this house. He turned towards Kotori.
”Kotori, maybe you should revert back to imouto mode?”
Wu Yan asked. In order to avoid dragging s.h.i.+ori into Kotori's operation, she's hesitant in showing the commander persona in front of s.h.i.+ori. This is also the reason Wu Yan can get away with bullying Kotori.
Kotori uttered a cold hmph and she mumbled.
