Chapter 23 "Underwear, underwear, only for husbands to see"

The so-called tea party, in the final analysis, is just a group of people getting together to drink tea and chat, nothing more.

But when drinking tea, there are strict steps and some cumbersome etiquette must be observed. There are special techniques for making tea, and there are also specialties for drinking tea.

These steps and etiquette constitute the external expression of the tea ceremony.

——As for the inner part, through these rituals, one can chant the four seasons, comprehend life, practice meditation, explore the human spiritual world, and so on.

This is the Japanese tea ceremony.

In short, generally speaking, this is a pastime for wealthy people.

To put it in a biased way, as Takizawa Yuya said, it is nothing more than "used by upper-class people to show off their elegance and style."

After all, in today's society, ordinary social workers have no time to work overtime, so there is no such thing as leisurely and elegant cultivation.

The tea party that Takizawa Yuya will attend is just like this, a tea party that follows the complicated tea ceremony etiquette.

The next day, Sunday afternoon, I put on my kimono and walked out.

"Ah, Mr. Takizawa!"

Just as he went out, next door, Nishino Yoriko happened to open the door.

"Mrs. Nishino?" Hearing the voice, Takizawa Yu also stopped and looked to his side.

He saw a pile of quilts, and the petite Nishino Yoriko was sticking her head out from behind the quilt.

She blinked and explained: "The weather is very good today, it's time to dry out the quilt at home."

"so."

"Is Mr. Takizawa going to that tea party?"

"It's natural to dress like this." Takizawa Yuya smiled and pointed at the kimono he was wearing.

Navy blue small sleeves with small prints on them and a feather fabric on the outside.

Nishino Raiko looked at it several times, his face turned red, and he turned his eyes away in panic.

He was already handsome, but now that he was wearing a kimono, the nobility of a well-known man became even more prominent.

"Mr. Takizawa, he is very suitable for wearing a kimono!" Feeling a little guilty, Nishino Raiko raised her voice and looked for words.

However, because of her panic, the tall quilt she was holding in her hands tilted and seemed to collapse from her hands.

"Hey -" Nishino Raiko noticed and quickly adjusted.

"Be careful." Takizawa Yu also saw it and stepped forward to hold the quilt.

Nishino Raiko breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Takizawa!"

"With all due respect, do you want me to help? I think Mrs. Nishino is having a hard time."

"Eh? Why is this so embarrassing?"

After all, they were just polite words. The petite Nishino Raiko couldn't see clearly while holding the quilt, which was indeed a bit difficult.

After Takizawa Yuya asked again, she stopped insisting amid the lady's continuous thanks.

"It's just a casual thing." Takizawa Yuya took the quilt from Nishino Raiko's arms, "Are you just going to dry it here?"

"Uh-huh."

Just spread the quilt on the railing next to the corridor.

After laying out this quilt, Takizawa Yuya turned around and took another quilt from Nishino Raiko. It was at this time that he caught a glimpse of——

It turned out that behind Nishino Yoriko, in the blind spot that had just been blocked by the quilt, there was a primary school student hiding.

Nishino Sumire also tried her best to hold her little quilt and stood there waiting. It was only then that she noticed his gaze and tilted her head to look at him.

"It turns out that little Sumire is here too."

Takizawa Yuya said casually, turned around again, unfolded the quilt in his hand, and spread it on the railing.

"Sumi-chan is very quiet." Nishino Raiko also said.

She also had her hands free at this time, so she took the small quilt from Nishino Sumire's arms, walked to Takizawa Yuya, and spread the quilt on the railing.

"It looks like a doll, you didn't notice it, huh?" Takizawa Yuya was spreading the quilt, but suddenly, as the quilt unfolded, a piece of white clothing with lace patterns suddenly came into view.

——And if it weren’t for Takizawa Yuya’s quick eyesight and quick hands, it would have fallen off the railing.

In other words, this piece of clothing now falls into the hands of Takizawa Yuya.

"It's not good to be too quiet. Sometimes when I suddenly turn around and see little Sumire, I get startled. Eh?"

Nishino Raiko was talking about her daughter when she suddenly heard Takizawa Yuya's movement and turned her face.

Then she saw Yuya Takizawa carrying a piece of white clothing in mid-air, looking at it subconsciously, as if hesitating about what it was.

——But soon, in the next moment, both of them saw it.

If I read correctly, this is her underwear.     .

"."

"Hey!" Nishino Raiko's face turned red instantly. She stretched out her hand, grabbed the underwear from Takizawa Yuya's hand, and held it in her hand.

"H-Sorry! Mr. Takizawa!"

"."

Takizawa Yu didn't speak, feeling a little embarrassed.

He wanted to scratch his face, but then he thought that his right hand had just touched Nishino Raiko's underwear, so he stopped in mid-air.

The atmosphere was stagnant in silence.

In this silence, the voice of the primary school student next to him became more and more obvious.

Sumire Nishino tugged on Nishino Yoriko's sleeve and asked softly: "Mom, are you going to marry Brother Takizawa?"

"."

"."

"Underwear and panties can only be shown to husbands." The primary school student explained, speaking very seriously.

At this moment, Nishino Raiko just wanted to find a place to get in.

The already awkward atmosphere was made worse by her daughter's words.

Her face was red, she lowered her head, closed her eyes, and her petite body trembled slightly because she was too shy.

She stumbled and spoke quickly: "Taki, Mr. Takizawa! I'm really sorry! Also, Sumire-chan said this because I taught her before to protect herself and not to expose these parts to strangers. People see it. That’s it, please don’t misunderstand!”

"."

Takizawa Yu also turned his face and looked at the scenery outside the corridor.

His tone was also a bit unnatural.

"Yeah, ah, I know, children should have education in this area. Especially little Sumire, she's very cute. Right?"

"Yes, yes!" Nishino Raiko responded loudly.

Then, suddenly there was silence again.

Nishino Sumire turned her gaze and looked between the two silent people.

Takizawa Yuya's expression was subtle, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Nishino Raiko buried her head, so shy that she let out a small "woo~" sound.

"Still, there's more." After waiting for a while, Nishino Yoriko held on and spoke again, "Mr. Takizawa, that, that... is washed."

"It's been washed," Yu Takizawa repeated without saying anything.

"."

"."

Silence again.

".I'm leaving first." Takizawa Yuya said,

"Mr. Takizawa, be careful on the road!" Nishino Raiko quickly bowed.

"."

After walking out of the awkward apartment, Takizawa Yuya took the train and went to the address of the tea party stated on the invitation.

Ten minutes later, he got off the tram and walked out of the tram station under the gaze of everyone around him.

Already conspicuous, and wearing a kimono, it attracts even more attention.

But this is not important, Takizawa Yuya has long been accustomed to this kind of gaze.

As he got closer to the address of the tea party, he thought of this question more and more:
  Where did Hariko Yoshida learn about his new residence?
  He didn't tell anyone about moving to that cheap apartment.

Could it be that in order to meet him and have this invitation letter delivered to him, Haruko Yoshida went to great lengths to investigate his address?

Is this necessary?

Or did someone tell her about this?

For example, the Ishikawa family.

The Ishikawa family who had previously instigated the Yakuza to collect debts from him.

The Yakuza had investigated his address, so it was natural for the Ishikawa family to know.

Thinking about this, Takizawa Yuya arrived at the tea party.
