My and Their Anime-Style Otherworldly Survival Adventure

At this moment, in Ella's eyes, Jiu Xiao was a "bully" who was bullying girls, and his posture was so indecent. Ella, bursting with a sense of justice, immediately frowned and strode forward, preparing to pull Jiu Xiao away from the two girls.

"Hey, Yuan Jiuxiao, how could you treat a girl like that? That's too much!"

Upon hearing Ella's voice, Jiu Xiao paused, then turned to look at her, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face. He quickly scrambled off Fate and Xiao Yuan, straightened his clothes, and explained, "Ah, well, we were just playing around..."

Ella frowned even deeper and continued, "Of course I know you're just fooling around. Fate is one thing, she's your sister. But Xiaoyuan isn't. How could you be so rude to her? There should be some boundaries between men and women." Ella's words carried a hint of reproach as she stared sternly at Jiuxiao.

Jiu Xiao scratched his head, feeling somewhat bewildered. He was just joking around with his girlfriend, so why was it taking so seriously with Ella? Perhaps Sania hadn't told Ella about his relationship with Xiao Yuan yet. Jiu Xiao sighed helplessly and said seriously, "Do you think it's possible that Xiao Yuan is actually my girlfriend?"

A hush fell over the room. Ella's earlier, indiscriminate condemnation of Jiu Xiao was still fresh in everyone's mind. Now, the boomerang had struck Ella herself squarely... and with deadly accuracy!

But Ella wasn't about to back down, and with a quick thought, she came up with a plan.

"So you have a girlfriend now. Then you should stay away from Sania from now on. You can't be like you were at sea today, hugging and cuddling with her." Ella said earnestly, as if she was doing it for your own good.

Jiu Xiao was delighted. He really looked forward to the day this girl found out the truth! Hehehe!

Xiaoyuan and Fate moved their lips as if they wanted to explain something after hearing Ella's words, but Sania stopped them with a look.

"Alright, stop arguing. Jiuxiao and I were just acting on impulse today. We'll be more careful next time." Sania quickly changed the subject. She smiled and walked to Jiuxiao's side, gently patted his shoulder, and continued, "Jiuxiao, don't take Ella's words too seriously. She's just straightforward and says what she thinks. She doesn't mean any harm."

Jiu Xiao naturally wouldn't argue with a young girl, especially since she was standing up for Sania. With that, the conversation finally got back on track, and everyone ordered again. However, driven by the girls' intense curiosity, they ended up ordering a plate of strawberry mapo tofu.

The banquet went very smoothly; everyone ate and drank, and it ended quickly. Jiuxiao didn't touch the plate of strawberry mapo tofu from beginning to end; in his eyes, it was as if it were a monstrous flood.

That night, exhausted, Jiu Xiao lay in bed. Before falling asleep, he remembered the sphere the system had rewarded him with—the so-called spatial node. Jiu Xiao held it in his hand, playing with it. Looking at the sphere that emitted a pinkish glow, he thought of Xiao Yuan. Perhaps, he could let her try it.

Chapter 131 Current Offender

The next morning, Jiu Xiao got up early and practiced his sword in the courtyard. Xiao Yuan moved a stool and sat down beside him, resting her chin on her hands and quietly watching Jiu Xiao's morning practice. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on her cheeks and adding to her gentle and serene appearance.

Jiuxiao's swordsmanship improved day by day, each move exuding a fierce aura. His shadow, slender in the sunlight, contrasted sharply with Xiaoyuan's quiet figure.

After a while, Jiuxiao sheathed his sword and stood up, wiping the sweat from his forehead. He turned to Xiaoyuan and gave her a bright smile: "Xiaoyuan, good morning. How was my swordsmanship? Not bad, right? Want to spar with me?" Jiuxiao sent a challenge, looking at her with a mischievous grin.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Xiaoyuan waved her hands hurriedly, her face showing a look of panic.

"But... I don't know much about swordsmanship. I've only learned some basic moves from Kisara-nee, so please don't make things difficult for me, Kusho-kun."

Jiu Xiao knew Xiao Yuan's capabilities, but he just wanted to tease her. Seeing her like this, he felt even more playful.

"It's alright, it's alright. I'll only use my physical strength, not my full power. You can do whatever you want. As long as your attack hits me, you win. How about it? Of course, the loser has to grant the winner one request." Jiu Xiao blinked, a sly smile playing on his lips, clearly confident that he had her cornered.

Xiao Yuan blushed; she knew Jiu Xiao definitely had ill intentions. But she also knew Jiu Xiao wouldn't give up easily. Gritting her teeth, Xiao Yuan decided to accept the challenge. Although she knew she was no match for Jiu Xiao, she didn't want to give up so easily.

"Alright, Jiuxiao-jun, I'll give it a try. But you can't make unreasonable requests, or I'll get angry." Xiaoyuan stood up, picked up a spare wooden sword, and began to warm up.

Seeing Xiaoyuan agree, Jiuxiao was overjoyed; this was exactly what he had been waiting for. The two stood about five meters apart, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Xiao Yuan, are you ready? I'm about to start!" Jiu Xiao shouted, stretching his body as if he were about to go.

Xiao Yuan nodded, her eyes fixed on Jiu Xiao's every move. Jiu Xiao raised his sword, but remained motionless for a long time. Suddenly, he lowered it, waved to Xiao Yuan's side, and called out, "Fei Te, good morning! Why are you up so early too?"

As soon as Jiuxiao finished speaking, Xiaoyuan turned around, wanting to greet Fate. The instant she turned around, Jiuxiao's figure flashed, appearing in front of Xiaoyuan like a ghost, his wooden sword gently resting on her shoulder, a smug smile playing on his lips: "Hehe, I won."

Xiao Yuan turned around in astonishment, staring at the wooden sword against her neck. Her cheeks puffed up visibly. She stared wide-eyed at Jiu Xiao in disbelief, and after a long while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Jiu... Jiu Xiao Jun, you cheated!"

Jiuxiao laughed heartily, sheathed his wooden sword, patted Xiaoyuan's head, and argued, "All's fair in war, Xiaoyuan. This is part of the competition. Alright, a bet's a bet, but you have to agree to one condition."

Xiao Yuan stomped her foot, looking annoyed, and said, "Seriously, Jiu Xiao Jun could have defeated me head-on, why did he have to use this method! Ugh~ He just knows how to bully me!" While complaining, Xiao Yuan raised her pink fist and lightly punched Jiu Xiao's chest. Although it wasn't very strong, it still made the perverted Jiu Xiao feel good.

Grabbing Xiaoyuan's delicate fist, Jiuxiao pulled her into his arms and said matter-of-factly, "What's wrong with me teasing my girlfriend a little? It's perfectly reasonable, isn't it?" He then deliberately blew a soft breath near Xiaoyuan's ear, causing her to tremble and her cheeks to flush crimson. She collapsed into Jiuxiao's arms, as if all her bones had gone limp.

Xiao Yuan lowered her head shyly, not daring to look directly into Jiu Xiao's teasing eyes, feeling both annoyed and sweet. She struggled slightly, trying to break free from Jiu Xiao's embrace, but only Jiu Xiao held her tighter.

The two lingered in the courtyard for a while, and figuring the others would be getting up soon, Jiu Xiao reluctantly let go of Xiao Yuan. He gently kissed Xiao Yuan's forehead and said seriously, "Alright, I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes. Do you want to come with me?"

Xiao Yuan fled the scene as if escaping, daring not to answer Jiu Xiao's words. Otherwise, she bet that this shower wouldn't be finished in less than an hour. By then, she, Yuan, would be completely "round" into a ball, exhausted and collapsed in the bathroom. Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan quickened her pace and fled back to her room.

After taking a shower, Jiu Xiao found that everyone was already up. Fate and Xiao Yuan were preparing breakfast, while Ella and Sania were leaning against the sofa, looking drowsy. It was obvious that they had stayed up late chatting last night.

Jiu Xiao greeted everyone with a smile, then sat down next to Sania. Ella kept her eyes glued to Jiu Xiao's every move, as if guarding against a thief.

Jiu Xiao felt Ella's piercing gaze and couldn't help but smile wryly: "Ella, why are you looking at me like that? Do I have flowers on my face?"

Ella curled her lip and said disdainfully, "Hmph, you know the answer yourself!"

After breakfast, everyone was quite relaxed since it was summer vacation. Fate wanted to play with Enju and the others, so Jiuxiao sent her to the other world. Xiaoyuan found a cooking class outside, intending to improve her culinary skills. As a girl, Xiaoyuan realized her cooking skills were inferior to Jiuxiao's, a grown man, which made her a little embarrassed, although Jiuxiao never seemed to care. Only a thoughtful girl like Xiaoyuan would notice such details.

In an instant, the lively house fell silent. After finishing breakfast, Ella and Sania lay on the sofa for a nap. Jiu Xiao sat beside them, picked up his phone, and while passing the time, he wanted to see if anything major had happened recently.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it—Tendo Kisara is on the news! The reason? The Tendo family suddenly announced a change of heir, and Tendo Kisara, previously an unknown junior member, has suddenly become the new heir. However, this news didn't cause much of a stir online. Aside from a very few interested individuals, the general public wouldn't pay attention to something that didn't concern them. The reason for this was that even more explosive news followed, diverting everyone's attention.

Yesterday afternoon, the Holy Emperor promulgated a new law for Gastrea. Its core content is to ensure the basic human rights of the cursed children, allowing them to enjoy the rights and freedoms that ordinary citizens should have. This decree has undoubtedly caused a huge uproar throughout society. The general public generally maintains hostility towards this group, even considering them "outcasts" who should be isolated and eliminated. Therefore, the enactment of this law has sparked heated discussions and controversy.

Although Jiuxiao took away the vast majority of the cursed children from the Tokyo area, a small number were unwilling to leave. Jiuxiao was powerless to stop them; he couldn't very well kidnap these children, could he?

Putting down his phone, Jiu Xiao rubbed his throbbing temples, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew all too well that while the new law promulgated by the Holy Emperor was of great significance, its true implementation and the acceptance and respect of the cursed child by society were simply a pipe dream. Putting aside these troubling matters, he casually picked up a magazine and began to flip through it, but his mind was clearly not on the book.

Jiu Xiao inadvertently noticed Sania and Ella, who were fast asleep. Because of the hot weather, the girls were dressed very lightly. Their long, white legs were exposed to the air, and occasionally, their panties would peek out slightly as they adjusted their sleeping positions, which made Jiu Xiao unable to look away.

Although it was a silly thing to do, by the time Jiuxiao came to his senses, his hand was already on Sania's thigh...

Sania jolted awake, slowly opening her emerald green eyes, still drowsy. She looked at Jiuxiao in a daze, seemingly not understanding what had happened. After a long while, Sania asked calmly, "Have you touched enough? If not, would you like to touch Ella's thigh too?"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiao snapped back to reality and withdrew his hand as if electrocuted. However, he didn't seem embarrassed; after all, they were an old married couple, and such little incidents were commonplace. Jiu Xiao coughed twice, trying to cover his lapse in composure, and then said calmly, "I just saw you sleeping so soundly, and couldn't help but glance at you a couple more times. I didn't mean anything by it."

Sania, of course, didn't believe Jiuxiao's nonsense, but she was too lazy to expose him. Following Jiuxiao's lead, she lazily turned over, her voice tinged with a hint of mockery: "Is that so? Then continue, I don't mind giving you some more 'benefits'." After saying that, Sania deliberately stretched her legs out even straighter, as if to provoke Jiuxiao's willpower.

Jiu Xiao smiled wryly, knowing he was only making things worse by explaining, so he simply changed the subject: "By the way, would you like to take Ella for a walk around the area later? She's new here and everything is still new and unfamiliar to her. You can try some of the local snacks or browse some interesting little shops to let her get a better feel for the city's atmosphere."

Sania had no reason to refuse, and it coincided with her own plans: "Well, sure. But you'll have to come with us too."

Jiu Xiao paused for a moment, then grinned mischievously, "Me? I think I'll pass. You know, your friend doesn't seem to like me much, and even seems a little hostile. I wouldn't dare spoil her fun." Jiu Xiao said sarcastically.

Sania wasn't having any of it. She sat up, wrapped her arms around Jiu Xiao's neck, and said in a coquettish tone, "No, you have to go. If you don't go, we won't go either." Perhaps because Sania wasn't fully awake yet, her tone carried a childlike capriciousness and coquettishness, which softened Jiu Xiao's heart.

He sighed helplessly, gently stroking Sania's soft, long hair, and conceded, "Alright, alright, I'll go. I just can't do anything with you. But, you know what I mean." Jiuxiao pointed to his lips, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Sania glanced at the sleeping Ella and then, without hesitation, pounced on her. This time, however, it wasn't a mere "touch"; Jiuxiao continued his assault on Sania's mouth until she was breathless.

My wife is currently committing a crime (not really)!

After a long while, their lips parted, and Sania released her hold on Jiuxiao's neck, scolding him playfully, "Silly boy, remember to treat Ella better from now on. She's my best friend, and I don't want to see you two getting along badly. Don't let Ella's usual carefree attitude fool you; she must be feeling very insecure inside. Coming to this unfamiliar place all of a sudden, I hope you can treat her the way you treated me."

Jiuxiao was speechless for a moment, not understanding what Sania meant. Treat her the way she took care of you back then? Could that be interpreted as being ordered to pick up girls? The rain can't keep falling, but your head can.

Jiuxiao decided to play it safe and tentatively said, "Isn't this a bad idea? After all, I had ulterior motives towards you back then. I don't want to ruin your friendship because of a momentary impulse; that would be a loss." Jiuxiao carefully chose his words, afraid of accidentally touching Sania's sensitive nerves.

Sania rolled her eyes at Jiuxiao and said irritably, "Stop acting innocent after getting the benefit. Don't you have any designs on Ella? Ella is so cute, and she has your favorite white hair... I don't believe you don't have any thoughts about her at all."

Sania was being a bit unfair to Jiuxiao; he genuinely didn't have any feelings for Ella, at least not right now. However, since Sania had already put it this way, if he continued to be indecisive, wouldn't that seem hypocritical?

But he shouldn't appear too eager. They say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; who knows if Sania is deliberately trying to provoke him?

"Ahem, let's talk about that later. I need to change my image in Ella's eyes first. It's not good for her to keep being so hostile towards me." Jiuxiao said in a serious tone, not giving Sania any chance to find fault.

Sania nodded slightly, a sly glint in her eyes: "Alright, then you'd better perform well and not disappoint me and Ella. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble." With that, she winked mischievously, as if she had already foreseen Jiuxiao's "tragic" future fate.

Ella slept until noon, and it was clear she was exhausted. She probably hadn't had a proper rest since Sania's disappearance, which also suggests...

This reflects Sania's importance in Ella's heart. Looking at the sleeping girl, Jiuxiao felt a surge of responsibility. He secretly vowed to do his utmost to ensure both girls lived happily ever after, and to help them become true "sisters."

When Ella finally woke up, she was taken aback to see Jiuxiao and Sania staring at her intently. A blush rose to her cheeks, and she asked in a low voice, "Why... are you looking at me like that?"

Chapter 131 Sania: Are you confident you can help me put on the kimono?

Jiu Xiao smiled and handed her a glass of warm water, saying softly, "Ella, you were sleeping so soundly. Here, have some water first, then we'll go out to get something to eat, and I'll show you around the neighborhood."

Ella took the water glass and sipped it slowly, her gaze shifting back and forth between Jiuxiao and Sania. She seemed to want to say something, but didn't know where to begin, something felt off... After a while, Ella finally caught the awkwardness and said, "Who, who told you to call me by my first name? Are we that close?"

Jiuxiao shrugged, unconcerned, and said, "Oh? Then what should I call you? Miss Ilmata? Or Miss Yutirenan? Don't you think that's too awkward?"

Ella was momentarily speechless at his words, her blush deepening. She glared at Jiu Xiao, but couldn't find a suitable rebuttal. Sania watched the interaction between the two, a playful smile playing on her lips, clearly pleased with the situation.

“Alright, Ella, don’t hold it against Jiuxiao.” Sania interjected at the right moment, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere. “That’s just how he is, he speaks without thinking, but he’s not a bad person. Besides, you’re our friends now, so there’s nothing wrong with calling him by his name.”

Although Ella still felt a little awkward after hearing Sania's words, she didn't dare to make a scene and could only acquiesce to Jiuxiao's way of addressing her. The three of them quickly tidied up and then went out together.

The three walked down the street, with Sania and Ella's Scandinavian features being particularly noticeable: their slender figures, fair skin, and long silver hair made them stand out in the crowd. They chatted occasionally, their silvery laughter drawing envious glances from those around them.

Ella suddenly pointed to a large red box on the street and asked, "Is this the vending machine?" Ella's fingertips touched the cool glass, and her breath blurred the colorful beverage cans inside. She suddenly stood on tiptoe, her long silver hair sweeping across the tip of her nose.

Why is Finnish blueberry juice the fifth one from the right in the third row?

Jiu Xiao's hand hovered above the coin slot, and the coin fell into the machine with a crisp sound. He inadvertently caught a whiff of the girl's unique fragrance—the lingering scent of shampoo in Ella's hair. Even though the two girls used the same shampoo, it smelled completely different to Jiu Xiao's senses.

"This might be dynamically adjusted based on sales data..." Ella pressed the button before she could finish her explanation.

With a loud bang, the can got stuck in the dispenser. Ella kicked the vending machine, puzzled, and asked, "Is this thing malfunctioning? Why isn't it coming out?"

Jiuxiao quickly stepped forward and stopped Ella's bandit-like behavior.

“Hey, this isn’t some Academy City, and you’re not an Electrifying Girl. Besides, the can has already fallen down, it’s just in the delivery slot at the bottom.” Jiu Xiao said as he squatted down to help Ella take out the blueberry juice.

Ella accepted the drink, her face beaming with childlike joy. Although she didn't understand what Jiu Xiao was saying, she still politely thanked him. Suddenly, an enka melody blared from the shopping street's loudspeaker, startling the sparrows on the power lines.

Jiuxiao looked up toward the source of the sound and saw a summer festival being held in the shopping street not far away. He turned to Ella and Sania and smiled, "Looks like we've arrived just in time, stumbling upon an unexpected summer festival."

Although Ella didn't know what the Summer Festival was, she still followed Jiuxiao and Sania inside.

At the steaming takoyaki stall, Sania ordered a serving, forked a piece, and put it in her mouth, a happy smile spreading across her face. Seeing this, Ella also joined in, pretending to be ready to be fed.

"Honestly, you're such a grown-up, why do you still act like a child? I just can't do anything with you," Sania complained, but her tone was full of affection.

Jiu Xiao felt like an outsider, standing aside watching the intimate interaction between the two Nordic girls. He couldn't help but feel "anger rising from his heart and evil thoughts arising from his gallbladder." A minotaur, huh?

After feeding Ella, Sania forked a takoyaki and held it to Jiuxiao's mouth. Jiuxiao, who had just been feeling down, immediately brightened up, but still said seriously, "This, this isn't appropriate, is it?"

"Really? Then I'll eat it myself." Sania pretended to turn around and leave, but Jiuxiao reacted quickly, taking a bite of the takoyaki and saying indistinctly, "Who said I didn't want it? I was just being polite. Why did you take it seriously?"

Looking at the toothpick in Sania's hand, and then at Jiu Xiao's face, Ella's face flushed red. Sania asked knowingly, "What's wrong, Ella? Your face is so red, is it because the takoyaki was too spicy?" As she spoke, Sania handed her a bottle of mineral water, her eyes flashing with slyness.

Ella blushed and pushed Sania forward from behind, while explaining, "Idiot, you idiot, there's no chili in the takoyaki, it's just, it's just too hot and I'm feeling a little uncomfortable."

Sania, being pushed forward, turned around and winked mischievously at Jiu Xiao. Jiu Xiao belatedly realized what was happening; she really was his best friend, showing no mercy when it came to teasing him. He smiled and shook his head, then followed the two.

The summer festival was bustling with activity, offering a dazzling array of food and games. Sania squatted down in front of a goldfish scooping stall, a sly glint in her eyes as she hatched a plan. She turned to Ella and said, "Let's have a goldfish scooping contest!"

Ella leaned closer, her eyes filled with wonder as she watched the goldfish swimming freely in the water. She turned to Jiuxiao and asked, "Can these goldfish really be scooped up with a paper net?"

Jiuxiao smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, but it requires a little skill and patience."

The stall owner enthusiastically handed each of them ten paper nets, and the competition officially began. Sania couldn't wait any longer and picked up the net, intently watching the goldfish in the water.

"Auntie's big!" Sania suddenly slashed the net diagonally into the water, deliberately using exaggerated force to create a splash. The glass-like water droplets drew arcs in the air, landing precisely on Ella's chest, instantly soaking the light blue fabric with dark watermarks.

Ella, who was concentrating intently, was caught off guard by the sudden attack. Her chest was soaked, and she froze. She looked down at her wet clothes, then looked up and glared at Sania, her eyes flashing with annoyance.

"Sanya! You did this on purpose!" Ella said coquettishly, glaring at Sanya and pretending to be angry.

Sania blinked innocently and said, "Oh dear, I was just too excited and didn't expect to use too much force. It really wasn't on purpose, Ella." As she spoke, Sania took out a handkerchief from her pocket, pretending to wipe Ella's face, but her mischievous smile betrayed her.

Ella snatched the handkerchief and wiped herself, muttering, "Hmph, better yet, or I'll teach you a lesson." Although she said that, there was no real anger in Ella's eyes.

After the brief incident, the competition resumed. Sanya tried her old trick again, but this time she failed. Ella was on guard, skillfully dodging the splashes of water Sanya threw, and retaliating in kind. In the end, the two stopped pretending and simply scooped up water with their hands and splashed it on each other, having a great time.

Jiuxiao stood to the side, completely dumbfounded. So this is how goldfish scooping is done? Thankfully, the girls were using paper nets instead of "American-style nets," otherwise it might have turned into a real-life version of CrossFire. Nordic girls, terrifyingly so!

Just as Jiu Xiao was brainstorming, the goldfish stall owner suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said with a "kind" look, "Young man, are they your friends? Can you do something about them? My small business can't afford their antics. Look, the water is splashed everywhere, and other customers are afraid to come near."

Jiuxiao quickly used his Japanese special skill to bow and apologize, which was a case of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do".

"Red bean paste, private horse race!" Jiu Xiao bowed while gesturing with his eyes to the two girls who were having a great time, hoping they would stop. At the same time, he handed the stall owner 10,000 yen. Out of respect for Fukuzawa Yukichi, the stall owner's expression softened, and he nodded repeatedly after taking the money, indicating his understanding. Young people's playfulness is fine as long as it doesn't go too far.

After receiving the stall owner's forgiveness, Jiu Xiao turned around and looked at Sania and Ella, who were laughing and playing around, with a look that was both helpless and indulgent. He coughed lightly, trying to get their attention: "Hey, you two young ladies, could you tone it down a bit? You're making it impossible for others to do business."

Sania and Ella blushed slightly and quickly straightened themselves, stopping their "battle" in embarrassment. They were both soaking wet, their clothes dripping. Luckily, they were wearing dark-colored clothes today, otherwise they would have been exposed.

Even so, Jiu Xiao still took off his coat and draped it over Sania. Seeing this, Ella, not to be outdone, leaned in and blinked her big eyes, as if to say: "Where's mine?"

Jiu Xiao smiled mysteriously and took out another jacket from his pocket. In fact, this was a deliberate act to avoid attracting attention; he had taken the jacket from his system space.

After they both put on their coats, Sania suggested, "Wearing these wet clothes must be quite uncomfortable. There's a kimono rental shop up ahead, let's go change into clean kimonos and experience traditional Japanese clothing."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiao nodded slightly, thinking it was a good idea. It could resolve their current awkward situation and allow them to admire the girls' kimono style and unlock new skins.

Ella had no objections; he also disliked going to the festival in wet clothes. So, the three of them went to the kimono rental shop together. The shop was filled with all kinds of kimonos, colorful and beautiful, dazzling the eye. Sania and Ella excitedly wandered among the racks, choosing their favorite styles.

Sania chose a red kimono, while Ella chose a light blue one. Once inside the dressing room, Ella quickly requested help; as a newcomer to the area, she was completely unsure how to wear such an elaborate garment. Jiuxiao had no choice but to ask a shop assistant to help guide Ella on how to properly put on her kimono.

After a while, Sania peeked out from behind the curtain of the changing room, waved to Jiuxiao, and whispered, "Jiuxiao, could you help me tie the 'Obi' on the back of my kimono? I can't reach it myself."

Overjoyed, as if hearing celestial music, Jiuxiao tiptoed inside. Sania's kimono-clad figure immediately caught his eye; the perfect fusion of Western beauty and Eastern charm stirred something within him... and his hand moved...
