Chapter 448 33 - Interested in Cleaning Up Some Small Fries with Me?
For a certain man, breakfast was undoubtedly a blissful yet agonizing affair.However, for Miss Stargazer, the so-called breakfast time passed rather quickly.
The girl with beautiful white hair stood by the window, her delicate little face tinged with a lingering weariness.
She hadn't slept well last night.
For some unknown reason, the soundproofing in Kirie Kagarino's rooms had become very poor. As a result, the sounds from the adjacent room—where the Immortal and a certain man were engaged in the activity of exchanging bodily fluids—had naturally reached her ears.
Recalling the strange cries uttered by the Immortal, who usually appeared so elegant, Miss Stargazer's face began to turn red despite her fatigue.
When I... perform the Rites of the Duke of Zhou in the future, will I be like that too?
It just felt... so shameful.
Legend has it that in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, promiscuity was rampant. The Duke of Zhou, finding this unacceptable, decreed that men and women could not engage in sexual relations before marriage; only on the wedding day was it permitted. Later, people came to call this the "Rites of the Duke of Zhou."
This was a piece of nonsense fabricated by who-knows-who.
The Duke of Zhou, who established the "system of rites and music" to regulate the conduct of feudal lords, was somehow saddled with this anecdote. Nevertheless, the term "Rites of the Duke of Zhou" became widespread.
In reality, considering the relationship between the Immortal and that man, it was perfectly normal for them to perform the Rites of the Duke of Zhou together.
Miss Stargazer, who hadn't slept a wink all night, inexplicably recalled how the Immortal, who had previously seemed to view her with displeasure, had suddenly changed her attitude...
So, does this mean she has been accepted?
The girl, who had vaguely sensed that her destiny was intertwined with that man's, thought to herself. Her treatment was definitely not that of a so-called maid. That much was obvious.
After all, what kind of servant would be taught the method to reverse all of creation for doing just a little work? What servant would have the master of the house personally make pastries to please her, and have the mistress serve her food, declaring that they were all one family...
Clearly, her treatment had been that of a mistress from the very beginning.
Having learned from him that his Herrscher Authorities encompassed the four concepts of Time, Reason, Mind, and Corruption, the girl roughly understood.
The Immortal was an existence who could see into the future.
Evidently, she was already a member of this family, one of that scoundrel's wives. Only this could explain why that man, who looked so full of himself, would try so hard to please her upon seeing her, and why the Immortal, who was his clear spouse, would view her with displeasure...
The main wife despises the concubine, and the husband can't stand up for the concubine, so he feels indebted and tries to appease her. Understood this way, it all made perfect sense.
"If you ever encounter a situation where you feel deeply wronged, just call my name in a windy place, and I will solve the problem."
The girl, who had received a longbow and a suit of armor that looked like it was woven from flowing light, recalled his words, her gaze shifting slightly.
Clearly, when he said "deeply wronged," he was referring to the possibility of her being bullied severely. For that scoundrel, who got along so well with the Immortal, to be willing to stand up for her... the connection between them was already obvious.
However, the silver lining was that the shrew... seemed to have no intention of pursuing the matter with her any further. Since she had been accepted, she probably didn't have to worry about a termagant suddenly jumping out and blasting her with Samadhi True Fire.
She had no idea what conditions he had offered to make that super-fierce-looking Immortal willing to accept her.
The girl, unaware of why the Immortal had specifically worn the same style of silk stockings as her, began to worry inexplicably.
Will something happen to him?
Miss Stargazer, who felt that a certain someone seemed to be in a weaker position in the marital relationship, couldn't help but let her thoughts run wild.
But, thinking this far, she suddenly froze.
Why was she worrying about that scoundrel? That rake deserved to marry a shrew, didn't he?
"Serves him right."
Miss Stargazer, who had seen that man being dragged away by the stern-faced Immortal right after breakfast, muttered.
But, was it just her imagination? She felt like the direction the Immortal was dragging that scoundrel was towards her own room.
It must be an illusion. After all, what could they possibly do in her room?
Miss Stargazer thought.
Still, what should she do next?
Recalling the scene from yesterday, where her attempt at cooking resulted in a kitchen fire and her getting burned, Miss Stargazer's gaze drifted. Her culinary efforts had ended with the master of the house applying medicine to her burns for half the day before making her a late-night snack.
Speaking of which, the snack he made was delicious.
Miss Stargazer savored the memory of the red bean glutinous rice balls he had made for her and couldn't help but swallow. They were truly the best she had ever eaten in her entire life.
Hmph, hmph. In the future, I'll have to try the other pastries he makes.
The girl, who had virtually no resistance to desserts from Shenzhou, thought to herself. Besides, he had said he was going to take her to the night market. She wondered what the pastries of the Far East tasted like.
"Haaaah~"
Just as Miss Stargazer was pondering her evening snack, a certain man strode out from the direction of the master bedroom.
The girl, who by rights should be calling him "husband," looked at the man who hadn't been gone for long, her expression one of bewilderment.
Wasn't he just dragged away by that shrew? How did he get out so quickly?
Unaware that he was an expert at manipulating the flow of time and space, the girl thought for a moment and asked, "You... you don't seem to be in very good spirits."
"I-Is that so?"
The youth, who had been dragged by Miss Fu Hua into Stargazer's room and then forced to roll around on Stargazer's bed in several different positions, looked at the girl before him, his expression a bit vacant.
But then again... Fu Hua had said the reason she did it was "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." In that case, did that mean that in the future, he and Stargazer...
Thinking of this, Li Zihan's gaze towards Miss Stargazer became strange.
"You... what's with that look you're giving me?"
The girl, completely unaware that what she would do in the future on the bed of a still-mortal Fu Hua had just been perfectly replicated, felt a little uncomfortable under the gaze of the man who was, for all intents and purposes, her husband.
"It's nothing."
The youth, feeling it was best not to delve too deeply into the grudges and love-hate relationships between Fu Hua, Stargazer, and Black Princess, considered the time. Before he had to help Fu Hua with lunch, he still had a window of free time. He could go beat up Mop-Head.
"Interested in cleaning up some small fries with me?"
As if inviting her on a spring outing, the youth extended an invitation to the girl.
