At 4:15 p.m., Kurosawa Hikaru took the subway to a high-end apartment in the city center.
Swipe the card at the entrance on the first floor to enter the apartment, then swipe the card again and take the elevator to the corresponding 32nd floor.
As soon as I walked out of the elevator, there was already a woman standing at the door waiting for me.
This is a beautiful woman in a maid outfit. She has short hair, a tall figure, and stands straight. Her pretty face has a pair of calm and cold eyes, which makes her look serious and very capable.
Kurosawa Hikaru knew who she was, Shifengyuan's future maid, Akai Sayaka.
"Ms. Akai, I'm Kurosawa Hikaru, here to tutor you."
Kurosawa Hikaru took out a card and a schoolbag and handed them to her, stating his purpose.
Sayaka Akai took the card and took a look at it. There was a name and a photo on it. Then she opened the bag and checked it. After confirming that there were no dangerous items such as knives, she looked at Kurosawa Hikaru.
This gaze is scrutinizing, from top to bottom, as if scanning.
"What's wrong?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was a little puzzled when he noticed that her inspection and review today took longer than usual.
Logically speaking, he has been a tutor for more than a year, so he can be considered an old acquaintance.
"Come in."
After examining it carefully, Sayaka Akai shook her head slightly, gave the thing back to him, and moved away.
After getting his things back, Kurosawa Mitsuru didn't think much about it and walked forward.
Sayaka Akai, who was following behind, looked thoughtful at his steady and powerful steps, his shoulders not wavering at all, and his straight and tall back.
Such steps and such upright posture are not something that ordinary people can do. They require rigorous training.
In fact, it is very difficult for ordinary people to keep their body absolutely straight and upright, because walking with your head held high and your chest puffed out is actually quite tiring.
As for walking without shaking shoulders, that was even more impossible.
"Why does it look different from Tuesday..."
With such doubts in mind, Sayaka Akai became suspicious and decided to observe more closely today.
The future residence of Sifengyuan will be a large duplex.
Because this luxury apartment was built by the Maple Forest Group, it was equipped with a separate elevator and two floors were renovated.
Maybe it is not a villa or manor, but in the center of Tokyo where every inch of land is valuable, it is still an unimaginably luxurious mansion.
The decoration inside the house is magnificent, with famous paintings, antiques, and various things arranged just right, it is very luxurious.
After being a tutor for more than a year, Kurosawa Mitsuru was familiar with the place and walked into the study.
"Please wait a moment. The young lady will be here soon. What would you like to drink?"
Sayaka Akai, who was following behind, said as she stood at the door.
"A glass of ice water."
Kurosawa Hikaru carried his schoolbag, took a chair and put it in front of the desk.
This study is very large, even larger than the living room, with many bookshelves filled with books.
The smell of paper and books is light, just like being in a library. It is a great smell for people who like to study and read.
After arranging the seat, Kurosawa Mitsuru sat down, opened his schoolbag and took out his things.
“Knock knock.”
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Kurosawa Hikaru heard approaching footsteps and stood up to look.
The person knocking on the door was Sayaka Akai, who was standing by the door.
Then, a girl with long straight black hair and a white dress walked in from beside her.
"Ms. Shifengyuan."
Seeing her appear, Kurosawa Mitsuru greeted her with a proper posture.
In response to this greeting, Shifengyuan Mirai just nodded slightly and then walked over.
Her skin was snow-white and delicate, with a cold white color, her black hair was as delicate as a waterfall, her hands and feet were very slender, she stood straight, had an oval face, a straight and small nose, and long and slender eyebrows. She was very beautiful.
The most striking thing is her pair of red eyes, which are as beautiful as rubies, yet cold and calm, adding a touch of nobility and maturity to her every move.
Such girls are not as youthful as ordinary high school students. Instead, they are more mature than their age, arrogant and aloof, keeping people at a distance... or in other words, lifeless.
"Has she practiced archery?" Seeing her appearance, Kurosawa Mitsuru had a new discovery that was different from the past.
Because of the permanent reward of mastery-level archery, although he has not touched a bow and arrow so far, he has a lot of knowledge and cognition in his mind.
In addition to this, his body automatically adapted and developed muscle memory.
In short, although he had never touched a bow and arrow, he was an expert in archery and his eyesight had also improved.
That's right, he could tell at a glance that Shifengyuan's future steps would be one of archery.
"What class is today?"
Sifengyuan Mirai walked to the desk, sat down and asked.
"Academic class." Kurosawa Mitsuru pulled over a chair and sat down.
At the same time, Sayaka Akai took out the last document from the bookshelf next to her and placed it on the desk.
Shifengyuan Mirai took it skillfully and opened the document. Inside was the homework assigned by Kurosawa Hikaru two days ago, and a notebook.
"Here are today's courses and directions, take a look first."
Kurosawa Hikaru also pushed a book with two bookmarks in front of her.
After the exchange, the two of them didn't have any further communication and just started watching.
Kurosawa Hikaru was checking homework, while Shifeng Mirai was reading to understand what class was today.
During this time, Sayaka Akai also walked out, put down the tea for the two with the tray, and then went to the back, standing there waiting and watching.
As a bodyguard and maid, her duty is to help the young lady deal with all dangers and troubles.
In addition, there is another important task, which is to prevent anyone from being alone with the eldest lady.
"Perfect, without a single mistake. Miss Shifengyuan is truly gifted and intelligent."
The silence in the study lasted for half an hour, and Kurosawa Mitsuru finished his inspection.
"I'm done, let's get started."
Shifengyuan Mirai also said this.
"Have you become numb from all this?"
Noticing that she had no reaction to the compliment, Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help but wonder.
In fact, he was not a stranger to this student and had known him for more than a year.
But before today, apart from concentrating on his work, he had no time to pay attention to anything else.
To be more precise, he had already noticed how busy and heavy the future studies at Shifengyuan would be, but he chose to turn a blind eye to it.
Before today, he didn't care about Shifengyuan's future feelings and situation at all, he only cared about whether his work was going smoothly and up to standard.
Although he noticed this, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't say much and started his tutoring work instead.
After all, the maid Akai Sayaka was standing behind to supervise.
Whether his work performance is satisfactory or not depends on the reports and evaluations from the maids, so he cannot be passive and lazy.
In terms of tutoring, both parties cooperated very well and things went very smoothly.
I was so absorbed in my studies that time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye it was already six o'clock.
Even without looking at the watch, you can tell the time because Sayaka Akai will cook dinner on time.
This was one of the few half hours the maid would be away.
