I'm a bandage geek at Sobu High School

"Ten minutes' walk further is my manor."

Adachi Aiji stared at the river calmly, and said to Fujimiya Oriole on the side: "We will find a car for you when the time comes and take you home."

"what…"

Fujimiya Ori looked confused for a moment, then nodded repeatedly: "Okay... okay."

"Ok?"

Aiji Adagaki noticed something was wrong. From just now, or to be precise, from the moment she got out of the car, Fujimiya Ori, the bandaged monster, was very abnormal. Her usual defiant look completely disappeared, and from time to time, she looked in a direction on the other side of the river. He seemed to be searching for something in a daze.

[Just look for it, it’s none of my business]

Adachi Aiji turned around and didn't want to care about other people's private affairs.

But it seemed that it was the sadness and hope that flashed in Fujimiya Ori's eyes just now that touched Miss Aiji's heart, causing her to ask in a mysterious way: "What are you looking at?"

"Hey…"

Adagaki's words broke Fujimiya Ori's apparent calmness. His behavior seemed very strange, and he looked uneasy. The strength and carelessness in his eyes in the past no longer existed. He rubbed his hands together nervously, and after dodging Adagaki several times, After Yuan's gaze, he tried his best to look in the direction of the other side of the river, looking for the familiar roofs, but unfortunately all he could see were unfamiliar buildings.

"My home used to be over there, but then because of some things... we moved away,"

Fujimiyazhi took a sip of white steam on her hands, rubbed them twice as if she had a chill, and said to that side: "I really don't know what's going on over there now?"

[Across the river?Aren’t they all my family’s manor area? 】

Aiki Adagaki was stunned for a moment, and suddenly she felt the arm of Yoshino Koiwai next to her tremble violently, and then her little hand grabbed her hand tightly.

The hand was as cold as ice, not like a human hand at all.

"..."

The telepathy between the sisters made Adagaki Aiji immediately stop what she was about to say, and said something venomous in a covert manner: "It should be pretty good, after all, there is no weirdo like you living in it."

"…hold head high."

Fujimiya didn't refute, just responded silently, still stubbornly looking in that direction, and after a long time he looked back in disappointment, looking downcast like a fish in a tank of stagnant water.

"..."

Adagaki Aiji opened her mouth to speak but hesitated, but Koiwai held her hand so hard that it seemed as if she was about to break a stone. Miss Aiji frowned. This was the first time she knew that her family The little maid turned out to be so strong.

She glanced at Koiwai Yoshino next to her. She lowered her head and hid her face in her messy hair. Only her delicate baby-faced chin was exposed. There was no abnormality at all, but Aiki Adagaki felt that her expression was It was so stiff that it could be described as absent-minded.

【What happened to you?Yoshino? 】

Adachi Aiji whispered in her heart.

……

Ten minutes later, the three of them arrived at the gate of the manor.

"So big…"

After more than ten minutes of journey, Fujimiya Ori changed from the weak and shaken state back to an indestructible bandaged man. He looked at the grand manor in front of him, and the greedy golden light in his eyes was even more grandiose than Grandet. Langtai, just the look in his eyes made Adachi Aiji seriously doubt whether this person would hold the iron door of her house and chew on it.

"Stop looking, I'll find you a car to take you home."

Adachi Aiji said apologetically: "Because of the accident, it seems that you went back later than usual. Well... this is my responsibility."

"Huh? It's not as late as usual. Normally we'd still be on the road at this time."

Fujimiya Ori looked at the garden where several gardeners were pruning the leaves, and subconsciously replied: "It might be faster to go back now than normal."

"Oh?"

The shame in Adagaki Aiji's heart disappeared without a trace, and she said with a smile: "Then Fujimiya-kun, why don't you go home quickly?"

Fujimiya couldn't wait to give herself a slap in the face, why didn't she say that it was half an hour later than usual, so that others would owe her less favors.

[This is a rich person, the daughter of a big capitalist! 】

Fujimiya Ori was very angry. It wasn't that he had no special dislike for capitalists. He just had a dislike for everyone who was richer and had a better life than him.

"Here, send Fujimiya-san away."

Adachi Aiji smiled and clapped her hands, and a car immediately drove over. A tall and round driver stood beside him, opened the door for Fujimiya Ori, and said in a deep voice: "Please."

Looking at the driver's arms that were thicker than his own waist, Fujimiyazhi fell silent.

Open the car door and get in the car in one go.

The sound of the car starting sounded, and just before the car left, Aiki Adagaki seemed to remember something, and reminded: "By the way, the first time you are blocked in Sagami South Traffic Road, you may be blocked the second time. I advise you to stop it." Tell your friends about this."

She didn't say which friend it was, but she knew that Fujimiya Ori must know it.

Sure enough, in the car that had already driven away, the sound of Fujimiya Ori gradually disappearing could be heard.

"Okay, I know…"

Adachi Aiji silently looked at the back of the car, and then suddenly realized that Fujimiya Ori seemed to be the first boy to enter her home as a guest in the strict sense.

[Ah...it's the second one]

Adachi Aiji sighed, turned to the side and lowered her head without saying a word, the little maid, looked at her and said softly: "He has left, Yoshino."

Koiwai Yoshino raised his face, revealing the face covered by his hair.

Baby face, that pale and bloodless little face, and those eyes that seemed to have lost their souls.

"Lord Ai Ji..."

She smiled miserably and said, "Do you really want to hear my story?"

"No...I don't want to."

Adachi Aiki looked at Koiwai Yoshino's expression, and her heart felt severe pain as if someone had squeezed it. She waved her hands and said, "Yoshino, just pretend that I didn't say anything!"

[She doesn’t care, no matter what Yoshino is hiding, as long as Yoshino is not harmed, she will pretend that she saw nothing and heard nothing! 】

[Yes, can’t see, can’t hear]

"Ah ah ah, I'm so hungry!"

Adagaki Aiji shouted loudly: "It's too late to come back. Hasn't Miss Yamamura finished cooking yet?"

"I'm going to hurry you up now, Miss."

The maid over there immediately ran to the kitchen.

"Then let's wait a moment."

Adachi Aiji looked at the little maid and showed a gentle smile: "You must be hungry too, Yoshino."

【Thank you...Aiji-sama】

[It’s because you have always treated me so tenderly and treated me as an important friend and family member...]

【That's what I know...】

Koiwai Yoshino looked at the bright smile of the girl in front of him, and a wave of guilt flooded into his heart.

【So guilty】

……

The Koiwai family is the serving family of the Adagaki family. This is the custom of the Neon family. Many families with a long history and huge roots have their own serving families. Can they even have a serving family, and how outstanding the serving family is. Serving the family is an important indicator of whether a family has a rich heritage. Serving the family has also become a topic of conversation among upper-class families at cocktail parties, and is also a symbol of aristocratic status.

Youdao is a third-rank official in front of the prime minister. Strictly speaking, serving the family is the housekeeper and head maid. However, in a family with sufficient background, the head of the family and the members of the main lineage are more trusting of outsiders when managing the company and family industry. and some collateral blood relatives, and even more trust in the maid and housekeeper who grew up with him and took care of him for decades.

After all, on the one hand, you have not seen each other a few times since you were a child, and your relatives on the surface are actually strangers, or strangers at all, outsiders who need enemies and management. I have also been your teacher, so anyone will trust the people around you more.

Therefore, the serving family is in the management system of the Neon family. As people who belong exclusively to the head of the family and the main family members, they are the closest people to these people. Therefore, the serving family members can often control some rights within the big family, and these The proportion of rights is not small.

And because these rights are given down by the head of the house and the members of the main lineage with permission, the use of these rights that are actually ordered by the head of the house is much more convincing than those obtained by force. Over time, the housekeeper will become the head of the house. The spokesperson will even give people a sense of deja vu that the words spoken by the butler are the words of the head of the family.

To give a common example, after the death of the family head, the person responsible for keeping the will and last words is often the housekeeper next to the family head. At this time, the housekeeper has long become a respected elder in the family, and even the new generation of family heads do not dare to neglect.

Therefore, although the serving family appears to be a servant of the great nobles, they are also part of the system of the neon upper-class nobles. They are entangled with the great nobles because power and family affection, loyalty and family education are entangled with each other, just like The green vines entrenched on the towering trees are generally inseparable and support each other.

Chapter 72 Give it back to me

Koiwai Yoshino is from such a service family. From the beginning of her planning, she was told by her parents that she would be the lifelong maid of Miss Adachi, and that she would need to take care of her for the rest of her life and dedicate herself to her loyalty, even if it meant sacrificing her own life. Life came to shield the girl from danger.

[Reasons, no reasons, there is no need for reasons when serving family loyalty]

There was no possibility of rejection, nor did he have any thoughts of rejection. Koiwai Yoshino met his future master, a proud blue-haired little girl. She was so beautiful, just like her parents said, she looked like a princess. Same.

[I feel like my master seems pretty good, at least he’s good-looking]

The little maid who thought like this was immediately punished. She was tied to a rocket by Aiki Adagaki who was testing fireworks. She prayed for a long time with her eyes closed, but was sent directly to the sky and almost died.

"Sure enough, every daughter of a wealthy family is a demon king..."

Koiwai Yoshino thought as he was dying.

After several years of this, and in such a long-term companionship, Koiwai Yoshino fell in love with this young lady who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and regarded her as his most important friend and the master he would serve his whole life.

until one day…

This is a power transfer of the Adachi family. The experience of this point is to transfer part of the industry to Chiba. At the same time, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people under the banner, Adachi Aiji’s head family also had to move to Chiba. Aiji The eldest lady is moving to another school, and as a little maid, Koiwai Yoshino will of course have to move and change schools as well.

There is no regret, after all, as a maid, she is much more mature than her elementary school classmates of the same age, and her personality in school is that of a weak and taciturn little dwarf, so it is natural that she is a transparent person with no friends.

That day, the whole family came to Chiba, a strange city, by car, and came to an ordinary house by the river.

"Yoshino, this will be our new home from now on."

Her parents whispered in her ears, and Koiwai Yoshino nodded silently.

She knew her parents were trying to comfort her. After all, this house was too far away from the manor where she originally lived.

This move was too sudden, and the time was extremely tight. Industrial transfer takes time. It is unrealistic to buy a manor that meets the location and various requirements immediately. It even requires harsh conditions to build it yourself. Now it is not even possible. Adachi Aiji's family needs to find an ordinary house to settle themselves first.

But this is no problem. A behemoth named Yu Zi suddenly intends to invest in the Chiba area. This sudden trend is like a wake-up call for all the capital and nobles of Neon. In order to seize this opportunity , in order to have the opportunity to board these two centuries-old ships called Yu Zi, the head of the Adachi family chose to immediately move part of the property to Chiba with great courage, which was also the reason for this move.

Enterprises and nobles need to observe and invest in the direction of the wind, and the name You Zi is a strong wind at the national level in Neon and even in the world itself. Wherever it goes, there is gold everywhere.

[As for why the Yuji family suddenly had thoughts about the mediocre Chiba, who knows]

Koiwai Yoshino recalled the events of the past two days and followed his parents into the house.

cool.

This was Koiwai Yoshino's first impression of this house. Although there was no dust anywhere in the house, it looked dusty everywhere. There was no warmth, and there was no feeling of being inhabited at all. It just seemed like There are apartment buildings in Tokyo specially built for work-study college students.

[Not too bad, at least not shabby]

Koiwai Yoshino touched the table, rolled her fingers and saw that there was no dust, and then nodded with satisfaction. She thought that living in a thatched house in the countryside would be a miserable life, but it was much better than she imagined.

The little maid pushed open the door of a small bedroom in the back of the house, which was also her own bedroom, and walked in. She suddenly looked stunned.

This room does have the air of someone living in it, which can be seen from many small details, including warm-colored quilts and pillows, a pair of small slippers placed under the bed, and a few strange spindles on the bedside table, which seem to be used for rolling paper. The remaining paper tube.

"It looks pretty good, at least better than the living room and entrance hall."

Koiwai Yoshino thought happily, touched the bed behind him, lifted the soft quilt a little, and wanted to sit on it, but found a doll hidden under the pillow.

It was a strange white doll, which seemed to be a small mummy. It had a weird shape and a face with a slanted mouth and crooked eyes. It was so ugly that it made people laugh, and it was a bit absurd and weird.

"So ugly."

Koiwai Yoshino held it in his hand with some disgust. The mummy was dejected in its hand, with its limbs hanging in different directions, looking like a mess.

I really don’t know which company produced this doll. Even though it’s so ugly, it’s also in tatters. There are traces of sewing on the legs and arms.

Koiwai Yoshino opened the drawer of the bedside table and stuffed it inside. Out of sight, out of mind. He looked at other places in the room and found nothing noteworthy, so he put his bag on the bed. He left the room and went to the backyard.

"call…"

Koiwai Yoshino came to the open space in the yard and took a deep breath with some relaxation. She didn't know why she always felt particularly depressed when entering that home. Now that she came out, she felt much better.

This small yard is the place that Koiwai's parents are most satisfied with, and it is also the main reason why they chose to move here among the many houses. After all, everyone who serves the family has a hobby of gardening.

It seems that because they have not been pruned for a long time, the plants and potted plants in the yard are a little too lush. This messy look makes Koiwai Yoshino suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder. If this kind of plant grows in the garden of the Adachi family, it will be Unforgivable.

However, this rare greenery in the city still made Koiwai Yoshino close his eyes gently after the fatigue of traveling and finally relaxed his mind a little.

It’s not bad, this move.

[Although I miss the eldest lady a little, the opportunity to take a vacation is really rare. But can the eldest lady take care of herself?Although my sister is here, I still don’t know if my clothes will get dirty, if I can eat something that suits my taste, and...]

"I'm really worried."

Koiwai Yoshino looked worried, her whole heart was thinking about her master, the arrogant young lady Adachi Aiki, which was also her bounden duty as a maid.
