Chapter 386 Linghua's Knowledge of the Times
Afterwards, after seeing Thomas finish the full alchemical hot pot, Arataki Ichito couldn't help but admire it.
"You're a man. With an appetite like yours, you'll never go hungry."
Thomas left the room with a trance-like pace, and Ara Taki Ichito was really afraid that he would die there in the next second.
After a while, everyone who had eaten a bite woke up slowly.
Seeing their listless appearance, Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but ask, "Are you not full? Do you want to have another try?"
Everyone's face turned green and they all said it was not necessary.
Thomas, who had just returned, knelt on the ground and begged the young lady to show mercy.
Even Aratake Ichito felt that this was a bit too cruel. They couldn't just target Thomas alone.
At this point, the hot pot game finally ended after everyone (especially Thomas) paid a heavy price.
Next, Kamisato Ayaka immediately pulled Xiao Gong and Chizuru to chat together.
However, this time, the originally elegant, polite and graceful eldest daughter of the Kamisato family not only became extremely talkative, but even a little impetuous.
On the contrary, Xiao Gong, who had always been optimistic and had a bright smile on his face almost all the time, became taciturn and exuded a world-weary temperament.
It was unexpected yet reasonable.
And Lei Hu and the others?
I ran out early to get some water to rinse my mouth.
Thomas retired after accomplishing his mission, and went back to his room to rest with unsteady steps.
"Brother Ayato, you were unconscious for three minutes, the shortest among everyone. And you were able to utter a word before you fainted. You are really tenacious." Aratake Ichito clapped his hands in praise.
Kamisato Ayato tapped his head in pain, "Brother Ichito, stop teasing me. Ayaka regained consciousness in just a few seconds."
Aratake Ichito was speechless for a moment, then told Kamisato Ayato the answer with a strange look on his face.
"She didn't swallow it. She vomited it on her way out."
Kamisato Ayato: “…”
Arata Ichito chuckled, "This brain works faster than yours."
He turned his head to look at the blue among the three figures talking to each other not far away, his smile still unchanged, with an imperceptible light in his slightly narrowed eyes.
.........
As night fell, the people from the Aradaki sect, who had been entertained by Kamisato Ayato for the whole day, gradually began to show signs of fatigue and sleepiness.
After washing up, they all changed into the new pajamas provided by Kamisato Ayato and went into their respective rooms.
There is only one exception.
That’s right, it’s still Kamisato Ayaka.
This guy's energy is simply not that of an ordinary person. The whole day has passed, with sword fighting, hot pot games, flower arrangement, tea art, and chatting...
After going through so many procedures, she was still full of energy at midnight.
It is a step up from the previous Xiao Palace.
She put on her kendo uniform again and stopped Tokugawa Raiko who was about to go back to his room to sleep with a wooden sword in hand.
The wooden sword danced with a knife flower, and Kamisato Ayaka excitedly invited, "It's still early at this time, why are you sleeping? Come on, let's have another match."
Lei Hu looked up at the night sky, and for a moment he could not understand this young lady's concept of time.
But that didn't stop him from saying no.
Lei Hu walked around Kamisato Ayaka while laughing, "I'm sorry, Miss Ayaka, it's too late today, I need to go to bed, we'll compete tomorrow, I won't refuse anyone then."
Kamisato Ayaka grumbled in dissatisfaction, "How come you, a man, are worse than me, a girl? You are so lame."
Fortunately, she has been protected by Kamisato Ayato for more than ten years and is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.
Otherwise someone would pop up and say, "You can't do it after just a short while. Is it kidney deficiency?"
Lei Hu didn't comment. "Oh, yes, yes, I'll give in. I'll leave first~"
Kamisato Ayato also happened to show up and tried to dissuade him, "Ayahua, it's too late today. It doesn't make sense to compete with guests in the middle of the night. It won't be too late to compete tomorrow morning."
Even though Kamisato Ayaka's personality has changed drastically after losing the Divine Eye, her respect for her brother has not changed at all.
She put down the wooden sword very obediently and ran to the side. "Okay, okay, I'll come back tomorrow. I'm going to sleep first. Bye!"
Kamisato Ayato laughed, "Ayaka, you..."
He yawned and walked towards his bedroom.
.........
By now several hours had passed, the full moon was high in the sky, and it was already late at night.
Everyone was fast asleep, except Kamisato Ayaka, who quietly opened her eyes at this moment.
Because of her suggestion, Xiao Gong and Chizuru now also sleep here.
At this moment, she quietly stepped out from under the quilt, and after making sure that the two were not awakened and were still sleeping, she breathed a sigh of relief and tiptoed out of the room.
After walking out, Kamisato Ayaka turned around and walked towards the pavilion bathed in the moonlight.
A figure appeared in the pavilion, staring at him, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Yidou..."
Kamisato Ayaka called out.
Arata Ichito in the pavilion nodded and gave her a kind smile, "Although you are half an hour late, it is not too late, there is still enough time."
Kamisato Ayaka stuck out her tongue, "Sorry, I overslept, but Mr. Ichito, why did you ask Aru to remind me to come out at this time this afternoon?"
Arata Ichito smiled and said, "My purpose is very simple, just nod your head."
After saying that, Aratake Ichito stretched out his hand and invited with a smile, "Pretty girl, can you join the Aratake faction?"
Kamisato Ayaka nodded, "Okay, I'll join."
"........."
"........."
When their eyes met, Arata Ichito was dumbfounded again.
"No, sister, you... Hey, why don't you play by the rules? Shouldn't you refuse first? If so, where can I say all the lines I carefully prepared?!"
The smile turned from Arata Ichito to Kamisato Ayaka's face. She raised her hand and pressed it down, "Mr. Ichito, calm down. Calm down."
"I understand how you feel. After all, a few months ago, when I invited you, you agreed to join right away. This time, we're even, right?"
The corner of Arata Ichido's mouth twitched, "Then let me ask you a question, what was your reason for joining so decisively? Everyone I met before was not as smooth as you."
"It's a simple question." Kamisato Ayaka said with a smile, "If I don't agree, you will probably do it right after you finish talking. I don't want to suffer an unexpected disaster, so it's better for me to agree directly."
Arata Ichito hesitated for a few seconds, "That's indeed the logic, but how can you be sure that I will hit you? I'm not that unreasonable."
Kamisato Ayaka scratched her head and whispered, "I'm worried that you'll come and beat me up tomorrow morning under the pretext of teaching me swordsmanship..."
Arata Ichito: "…"
What you said really makes sense!
He thought about it carefully and realized that he was indeed capable of doing such a thing.
This Kamisato Ayaka actually knows me better than I know myself. This is really weird!
Arata Ichito let out a long sigh of relief, "What you said is really correct, Linghua, you are indeed a man who knows how to deal with the times. So congratulations to you and to me, welcome to join the Arata faction."
At the same time, the arm suspended in the air also trembled.
Kamisato Ayaka understood and grasped it, "From now on, I will officially join the Arotaki faction, Ichito... No, the boss!"
