" Yoizumi Sir, I've put the tile here," Komatsuse now doesn't even dare to meet Yoizumi. She put down the tile and returned to the house like he was a terrifying flood.
Of course, don't expect Yoizumi, who is even more wooden than wood, to notice anything.
He jumped down from the roof without making a sound, like a feather falling to the ground. He picked up the tile, and with a light leap, returned to the roof.
Not bothering to hold an umbrella,
he laid the tile and attached the thatch. Although it wasn't beautiful, after inspection, it wouldn't leak.
After finishing these tasks, Yoizumi was as if he had been fished out of the water, his entire body soaked with rain. His originally fluffy and dazzling golden hair was now wet and drooping, clinging tightly to both sides of his cheeks, with even a few strands covering his eyes. His eyelashes were also contaminationwith some crystal clear water droplets, gently trembling as he blinked.
Looking at the clothes he was wearing, which were already not the right size, were now completely clinging to his body because they were soaked with rain. Through the thin fabric, you could vaguely see the firm muscle lines hidden beneath his lean body.
" Yoizumi Sir, please use this,"
Komatsuse held out a towel to him. Looking at Yoizumi's current appearance, she only felt that her heart was about to jump out. She swallowed her saliva and forced herself to look away.
Do not look at what is improper! Do not look at what is improper!
Calm down, Komatsuse, you can do it!
"I've already boiled hot water, go take a bath quickly, or you'll get sick."
"Okay."
... Yoizumi slowly put on the gray clothes. The originally inconspicuous color now seemed to be specially prepared for him, setting off his fair skin even more clearly.
He gently wiped his wet hair with a towel, then casually let it fall, waiting for it to air dry.
He stood quietly under the eaves, his gaze cast towards the world shrouded in rain in the distance. Large raindrops continuously beat against the ground, splashing up small water droplets, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be less heavy than before, gradually becoming lighter.
Tomorrow will be a sunny day.
"Komatsuse ~"
A call came from the doorway. It was a middle-aged woman. Hearing the voice, Komatsuse poked her head out from inside the house and greeted the visitor with a smile.
"Auntie Hanyu, why are you here?"
Inviting the person into the house, she gave her a cup of hot water.
"I'm sorry, Auntie Hanyu, there's no tea at home. I'm not being a good host."
"It's okay."
After the middle-aged woman stood still, her gaze began to wander around, as if searching for a specific target.
Time passed by, and after a while, the woman slowly opened her mouth to ask: "Where is that young man you brought back yesterday? Why can't I see him anywhere?"
Hearing the woman's question, Komatsuse next to her replied: "He got caught in the rain and is taking a bath in the house right now."
Upon hearing this, a clear look of disappointment instantly appeared on the woman's expectant face. In fact, she had been thinking about this young man, especially after a hasty glance last night. Due to the dim light and her poor eyesight, she could only see a rough outline, but even so, that vague impression was enough to make her yearn for him. She had thought that she could take a good look at this rare beauty today, but she didn't expect to miss him.
However, thinking that she had other important matters to deal with later, the woman didn't stay too long. So, she turned to Komatsuse and said:
"It's rare for outsiders to visit our village, especially since this time it's your savior. So, everyone has decided to hold a lively welcome party for him to show our gratitude. When do you think it would be appropriate to arrange it for tomorrow?"
When she heard the words "welcome party," Komatsuse couldn't help but mutter to herself.
In the past, when there were occasional outsiders in the village, they had never received such treatment. Without a doubt, the reason for holding a welcome party with such fanfare this time was most likely because the villagers were all attracted by Yoizumi Sir's handsome appearance!
After all, Komatsuse knew very well about the village's habit of liking people with outstanding appearances, and she understood it thoroughly.
Actually, it's not to say that they would completely judge people by their appearance, but it's undeniable that everyone has the same tendency and preference in this regard.
However, what was troubling Komatsuse at the moment was that she didn't know if Yoizumi Sir would be willing to go. After all, she didn't have the right to make this decision for him without permission! And she didn't know if he had finished his bath yet. Should she just go and ask? After thinking it over, Komatsuse finally made up her mind.
So, she turned to Auntie Hanyu and said: "Auntie Hanyu, please wait for me a moment, I'll go ask." Before she finished speaking, Komatsuse, like a cheerful little deer, quickly left the spot with light steps.
At this time, Komatsuse's heart was pounding, because just thinking that Yoizumi Sir might be taking a bath inside, and she was only separated by a wall, she was so excited that she couldn't control herself.
Of course,
Komatsuse happily looked forward to having a perfect encounter with Yoizumi, but reality ruthlessly shattered the beauty in her heart.
After only turning a few corners, her expectant gaze fell on Yoizumi, who was standing quietly under the eaves.
Although Yoizumi was wearing ill-fitting clothes, it did not affect his unique temperament and charm in the slightest.
On the contrary, those unsuitable clothes actually created a different style and charm on him, making people couldn't help but look at him.
"That light blue clothes are the most suitable for Yoizumi Sir!" Komatsuse sighed secretly in her heart, "That clothes is simply tailor-made for him, whether it is the color, style, or size, it sets off his figure and temperament to the fullest."
Thinking of this, Komatsuse suddenly had an idea: "That's right! Why can't I make a clothes for Yoizumi Sir myself? In this way, I can also express my feelings and repay him for saving my life."
Just then, a slight noise entered Yoizumi's ears. He slowly turned around and saw Komatsuse standing not far away. He nodded slightly, using this to greet Komatsuse.
" Yoizumi Sir, the villagers want to hold a welcome party for you, I wonder if you would like to attend?"
Hearing this, Yoizumi was slightly stunned. Welcome party... Images of crowds of people and laughter instantly appeared in his mind, the scene must be very lively.
However, for Yoizumi, who has never liked noisy places, such occasions really made him a little daunted. Especially when he was in the crowd, being tightly locked by many eyes, that uncomfortable feeling would flood his heart like a tide, making him feel uncomfortable.
But this time, his purpose in coming here was to learn more about the human world. If he refused this rare opportunity because he was afraid of the noise, wouldn't he be going against his original intention? Thinking of this, Yoizumi couldn't help but fall into entanglement and hesitation.
Time passed by, and finally, after repeated consideration, Yoizumi took a deep breath and slowly said as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, I...go."
Although there was still a trace of apprehension in his heart, he knew that only by bravely taking this step could he truly realize his desire to deeply understand the human world.
