'Will there be clouds like this in the sky tomorrow?'

Some simple doubts appeared in Quan's mind, and he even recalled the memory of looking up at the sky when he was a child, which reminded him of the memories of his time with Aine.

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang, interrupting Quan's thoughts and bringing his attention back to reality.

There was the sound of a door opening and soft footsteps, allowing Quan to recognize the person entering the house in advance.

"excuse me."

The soft yet elegant tone brought a faint smile to Izumi's face as he sat in the living room. He slowly turned his head and looked towards the door. Toyokawa Shoko had already entered the living room, and Izumi gestured for her to sit down. Toyokawa Shoko nodded slightly and sat in the seat she usually sat.

Although it was very hot outside, there were no beads of sweat on Toyokawa Shoko's face, and her clothes were clean, giving people the impression that she did not come in a hurry.

"Your face doesn't look like it's been exposed to the sun... Did you adjust your condition before coming in?"

With today's temperature, it is impossible to walk on the street without sweating. Even if you hold an umbrella, you will still sweat uncontrollably in the high temperature.

At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko, who was sitting in front of him, could behave so calmly and appropriately, which inevitably made Quan feel a little curious.

"Have I been disrespectful in any way?"

Feeling Izumi's gaze on her, Toyokawa Shoko met Izumi's gaze and asked.

"No, I just thought your skin was well maintained and looked fair and smooth. I didn't pay attention and was a little obsessed."

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko opened her mouth slightly, but then fell silent again.

Seeing that the girl did not show any dissatisfaction, Quan did not continue to praise her fair skin. Instead, he looked at the coffee table in front of him, reached out and gently pressed on the paper box, and pushed it in front of Toyokawa Shoko.

"The maid uniform is right here. It was delivered not long ago and has not been unpacked yet. Take a look and see if it fits you."

Following Quan's gaze to the paper box in front of her, Toyokawa Shoko felt a little complicated. At this moment, she felt a little reluctant in her heart.

"Maid...I..."

From being a young lady, she is now about to become a maid. Even if she is just wearing a maid's clothes, Toyokawa Shoko can't help but sigh in her heart about the impermanence of the world, and feel a little more uneasy about the future.

'Better? Worse?'

But no matter how she feels about the future, she still has to deal with the things in front of her first.

As her fingertips slowly fell on the paper box, Toyokawa Shoko glanced at Izumi who was standing next to her, and found that he was also looking at her. She pursed her lips, then slowly opened the paper box and took out the properly packed maid uniform.

As soon as she got it in her hands, the exquisite fabric and smooth feel made Toyokawa Shoko feel Izumi's passion for maid uniforms.

"You can go to the study and try it out to see if it fits your body shape."

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko remained silent and said nothing.

But under Quan's gaze, she slowly stood up, holding the maid uniform in her arms, and walked slowly towards the study. Under Quan's gaze, she gently closed the door.

Withdrawing his gaze, Quan waited quietly, and the living room fell into silence again.

Click——

The sound of the door opening was heard, but Quan, who was sitting on the sofa, did not turn around.

Along with the sound of slow and hesitant footsteps, Toyokawa Shoko, with a slightly red face, embarrassed and a little nervous, dressed in a black and white maid uniform, came into Izumi's sight.

"Is this... okay?"

Following the posture of her own maid, Toyokawa Shoko folded her hands in front of her, but turned her face slightly to the side, unwilling to look directly at Izumi in front of her.

Staring at the maid girl in front of him, Quan's eyes fell on the feet under her long skirt. Due to his lack of preparation, the girl was wearing white lace socks and a pair of indoor slippers. She looked very homely, but because they were not horizontal-strap shoes, she lacked a special feeling.

Seeing the girl's unwillingness to look at his own reaction out of shame made Quan feel amused again.

"It's rude, but I want to ask a question now."

"Ok?"

Hearing that Quan had a question, and it was an impolite question, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but frown and look at Quan in front of her. She hesitated in her heart whether to listen to Quan's question.

But before Toyokawa Shoko could make a decision, Izumi, who was sitting on the sofa, had already asked the rude question.

“If you can measure it with money, how much can you buy your life?”

After she finished speaking, Toyokawa Shoko's expression had become quite gloomy, and she stared at the spring in front of her.

"Feel sorry."

Seeing that Toyokawa Shoko's mood was getting worse, Quan apologized to her first, while Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips and took a while to restore her mood to normal.

"I have no intention of selling my life to anyone, no matter how much money I get."

The serious expression and solemn tone seemed to indicate the girl's attitude, and this answer did not surprise Quan at all. He just nodded slightly and did not make any comment on Toyokawa Shoko's answer.

"Before I saw you wearing a maid uniform, I was quite curious about you, but now that I've seen you... compared to a maid uniform... nice clothes are more suitable for you."

After hearing what Quan said, Toyokawa Shoko stared at Quan.

"Are you going to regret it?"

They had originally made an agreement that as long as she put on the maid uniform, she would have a stable income every month. Now that Quan suddenly said this, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but wonder if the other party was ready to change his mind.

"I don't have any thoughts on that. What has been confirmed won't change. But, do you want to try other costumes?"

Toyokawa Shoko frowned, not knowing what Izumi was thinking.

“I’m not a model.”

She agreed to wear the maid uniform only because it was normal and did not expose any part of her body. Now the other party asked her to put on other clothes, which made Toyokawa Shoko feel a little uncomfortable and she immediately refused.

“I have no interest in other costumes.”

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko's resistance, Izumi, who was sitting on the sofa, did not force it.

"Some regrets."

Seeing that the Izumi in front of her did not insist, Toyokawa Shoko felt a little relieved. She was a little worried that the Izumi in front of her would insist. If she had an argument with Izumi, she would feel very embarrassed no matter how she considered it.

"Do you need to play the piano today?"

In order to prevent Quan from continuing to talk about this topic, Toyokawa Shoko took the initiative to ask Quan.

Izumi, who saw what Toyokawa Shoko was thinking, nodded slightly.

"Then, please."

Chapter 439: You saw my embarrassing side.

After enjoying Toyokawa Shoko's solo, the two did not have any other unnecessary exchanges. After the performance ended, he handed the envelope containing the reward to Toyokawa Shoko as usual.

Every time the girl stretched out her slender white hands and took the reward from him, Quan would always be stunned for a moment.

But when the girl put away the reward and her hands, his thoughts also calmed down.

"That's it for today."

His eyes fell on the girl, looking at her and the maid uniform she was wearing, he felt that such clothing did not match Toyokawa Shoko's temperament, and there was an obvious sense of incongruity. Compared with the maid uniform, the life atmosphere and dress of a young lady were more suitable for her.

"To make her more like a maid, to educate the poor young lady Toyokawa Shoko...?"

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko going to the study again and preparing to change out of her maid uniform, Izumi, who was standing alone in the living room, had some strange thoughts again.

"There's still time, so there's no rush."

There is nothing to do during this period of time. It would be interesting if I could adjust Toyokawa Shoko into the person I expect.

After a while, Toyokawa Shoko put on her usual uniform again, slowly walked out of the study, and prepared to say goodbye to Izumi. Izumi, who was standing in the living room, nodded slightly at her and watched the girl leave the apartment.

clatter--

The door is closed.

As the sound of the door closing was heard, Quan looked towards the study and his eyes rested on the door.

"The maid uniform was left in the study?"

In an instant, the thought of "Should I go and take a look" appeared in Quan's mind. The maid uniform that had just been taken off Toyokawa Shoko made Quan a little curious, but as soon as curiosity arose, he thought of Toyokawa Shoko's character.

"It must have left some mark. Once it's touched, the next time I come here and notice the change, it would be inappropriate to be extra vigilant."

After looking at the study for a while, Quan rested alone in the living room for a while, then went out and slowly walked back to his home.

……

On an originally sunny and sultry summer day, the sky suddenly became dark and gloomy.

At first there was just a slight breeze, but as time passed, the breeze gradually turned into a strong wind, accompanied by loud thunder, and heavy rain came in an instant.

When Quan came to his senses, the windows had been blurred by the heavy rain and he could not see anything outside. The sound of raindrops hitting the windows made it difficult for him to calm down. It seemed that at some point, the heavy rain would completely shatter the fragile glass and come into the house as a guest.

No matter how good the quality of the windows is, they will still vibrate due to the wind.

dong dong——

There was a knock on the door, which made Quan, who was sitting in the room watching the news, raise his head and look towards the door.

"Coming in."

As the voice fell, Aiyin, who was wearing a tank top pajamas, pushed open Izumi's door, and then, under Izumi's gaze, she entered Izumi's room, and skillfully came to Izumi's window and sat next to Izumi.

After she leaned against Quan's side and adjusted her sitting position, she turned her gaze to Quan beside her and spoke slowly.

"What are you doing?"

He didn't answer, but just showed her the screen of his mobile phone. It showed the disaster situation in various regions under the influence of the typhoon. The traffic in the areas passed by the typhoon had been interrupted, and a large number of floods and disasters had occurred, and mudslides had also occurred in some places.

"Ah...it happens every year."

After seeing what was shown on the news, Chihaya Aine sighed, then straightened her legs and hugged her knees with her hands.

"In weather like this, you can't do anything and you can't go out. The noise is so loud that it's impossible for people to calm down and have a good rest."

If it was quieter, Chihaya Aine could still stay in her room for a while, but now with such a strong wind and rain, Chihaya Aine's heartbeat quickened a bit. Feeling uneasy, she couldn't stay in her room anymore, so she hid in Izumi's room.

“Just be thankful that the power hasn’t gone out yet.”
