Chapter 651: 12 charm! Illusory!

Natsume Chikage lowered his eyes, looking at Mido Orihime, who was sleeping peacefully on his lap.

This young lady, who was always shrouded in mystery and detachment on weekdays, now closed her eyes, breathing evenly, actually showing a rare, defenseless sense of fragility.

He thought to himself, actually she and Konoe Hitomi are the same, when they are silent, they are both breathtaking static beauties.

However...

Once Mido Orihime opens her mouth, it is completely different from Konoe Hitomi's style of being expressionless but occasionally saying something shocking.

Her words always carry an innate indifference and contempt of a superior, as if she is uninterested in the vast majority of things around her.

But regardless.

People who are asleep always look particularly harmless, and thus appear fragile.

When she wakes up... she will eventually be that Mido family young lady who can only be viewed from afar and not profaned.

Resting on him to sleep this time, it was probably purely treating him as a temporary and suitable "pillow."

When Natsume Chikage was looking down and staring quietly at Mido Orihime's sleeping face.

Konoe Hitomi, who had always been silent like a shadow on the side, was also quietly observing Natsume Chikage with those eyes that lacked emotional fluctuations.

Time flowed quietly in the rustling sound of the breeze in the backyard and the strange silence between the three.

From the time Mido Orihime had memories, the air surrounding her was often turbid, mixed with an indescribable, uncomfortable smell of blood and rust.

However, Natsume Chikage's body emitted a clean, light scent that was completely different from the past.

This smell made her feel unusually comfortable and good.

Just by being close to him, her mind could feel a rare peace.

She... actually had a rare, high-quality, dreamless good sleep.

Don't know how long it had passed.

Konoe Hitomi's calm, waveless voice, which couldn't hear any emotion, sounded slowly at the right time.

"Young lady, thirty minutes have passed, time to wake up."

Mido Orihime, who heard the sound, moved her closed eyelids slightly.

Her exquisite brows frowned imperceptibly, revealing a trace of displeasure at being disturbed.

She opened those strange and deep eyes slowly and glanced at Konoe Hitomi coldly.

Without saying anything, she supported herself with her arms and stood up from Natsume Chikage's lap gracefully, sitting upright again.

Mido Orihime, after waking up, seemed to be permeated with a sense of refreshing laziness all over her body.

She stretched her slender waist and arms, revealing her graceful figure.

At this moment, her mood seemed to be quite good.

And Konoe Hitomi didn't need to say much, immediately stepped forward tacitly, and began to carefully organize her collar, cuffs, and that iconic smooth long hair that might be slightly messy due to the nap.

Seeing this, Natsume Chikage finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Finally awake.

His legs had been kept in a fixed posture and didn't dare to move, and at this moment, they were already numb, so he couldn't help but reach out and knead them gently.

After the hairstyle and clothing were meticulously organized by Konoe Hitomi.

Mido Orihime, with her long black hair like a waterfall and a princess-cut hairstyle that made her face look even more exquisite, stood up slowly.

She turned her face, glanced down at Natsume Chikage who was still sitting, and dropped a sentence with a light and clear voice:

"Learn to draw well."

After speaking.

She didn't stay any longer, walked along the corridor with a calm pace, and left the backyard unhurriedly.

Konoe Hitomi followed closely behind silently like the most loyal shadow.

Watching the two figures disappear around the corner of the corridor.

Natsume Chikage sighed gently.

It seems that to know what these two women are plotting, he can only wait until he wins the "Jade Dragon Flag."

And right now.

Mido Orihime asked him to learn to draw.

He thought about it seriously and felt that trying it out was fine.

After all, whether successful or not, he didn't seem to have any loss.

If he could really succeed, he could also take his sister to move into a more spacious apartment.

The small 3-tsubo single room he was currently sharing with his sister was too cramped.

He still remembered the scene when Yukimura Suzune, Saionji Nanase, and Fujiwara Aoi visited last time.

Plus himself and his sister, five people in the small space, almost every time they stood up to move, they could easily bump into each other.

And, his sister Ruri had always liked drawing, but the house was too small, and there was no place to put a decent easel, so she could only make do on a small low table.

The storage space at home was also extremely limited, and many times when seeing things he wanted to buy, he had to give up because "there was no place to put them."

Therefore, even if Mido Orihime didn't mention it, Natsume Chikage had already planned to find a larger place as soon as his income became more stable and generous.

The current situation could be considered a good opportunity.

Natsume Chikage remembered that his sister Ruri and her good friend Kaga Reisa seemed to be very good at drawing, so he could ask them for advice then.

As for what level counts as "learning well," he didn't have a clear concept yet, so he could only take one step at a time and come slowly.

Anyway, even if he couldn't reach Mido Orihime's standard in the end, it didn't seem like a big deal.
