"Chiho, it's time to start training."
The old man called Chiho over and had her begin naginata training.
Asahi Aoi and Natsugiri Kai sat beside Chiho watching her training, chatting occasionally.
However, they were all stiff and didn't know what to say.
So they just sat together in silence.
After the maid brought the tea, Natsugiri pushed a cup of tea in front of Asahi Aoi.
It was very skillful and natural.
Aoi didn't think much of it; she accepted it and bowed her head as a sign of gratitude.
Then he held the cup and began to taste it.
But such skillful and natural intimate actions filled Chiho with anxiety. No matter what, she could never be as natural as Asahi.
"Be more serious."
The old man tapped Chiho's shoulder with his naginata, causing her to wince in pain.
Chiho had no choice but to start training hard, and she didn't have time to rest until the afternoon. But after resting, she had to start training again.
They only rested at night.
Today, Aoi Asahi slept very late, and Chiho waited a long time before she finally heard Aoi's breathing.
She then slowly and tiptoed out of the room, and quickly and impatiently headed towards Xia Wuzhao's room.
"It can definitely be done today."
The girl's heart was filled with beautiful fantasies, and she even thought that the moonlight was so beautiful.
Walking alone on the veranda, she quickly arrived outside Xia Wuzhao's room.
But the paper sliding door did not open; it remained tightly shut.
"Huh? Why is the door still closed?"
Chiho was very puzzled. After trying again, she found that she couldn't open it at all!
The girl was quite helpless; she looked down at the door in front of her, dejected.
I can't think of any reason why it's still like this.
Xia Wuzhao agreed so readily during the day, so why is it like this?
Chiho could only return to her room. This time, Aoi Asahi did not wake up, which brought Chiho a little comfort.
The following day, Chiho found Natsugiri Kai again.
She said, "Why didn't you open the door last night?"
Xia Wuzhao feigned innocence and said, "Last night, I turned it on for a while, but then I felt there were too many mosquitoes, so I turned it off."
"Are there mosquitoes?" Chiho asked, puzzled. There shouldn't be any mosquitoes here.
Xia Wuzhao nodded: "There will be some mosquitoes at night."
"That's impossible. The maid cleans and tidies up here every day. There wouldn't be any mosquitoes." Chiho looked at Natsugiri Kai: "Did you really see that?"
“Yes, that’s right,” Xia Wuzhao said. “Then perhaps last night was just a coincidence.”
"Make sure to open the door tonight," Chiho instructed, and Natsumi nodded.
So, Chiho went to train.
Chiho trains with the elderly every day, while Asahi and Natsugiri sit and watch.
Such days are ordinary, but they bring a sense of peace.
However, Chiho would launch a night raid every night.
Today, Chiho also launched a night raid, and this time Natsugiri Kai did not close the door.
The door was actually open.
However, the front door faces the courtyard, so Aoi Asahi can see directly into Natsugiri's room.
Chiho found this hard to accept. She looked out from her room at the wide-open door and couldn't help but sigh.
Aoi, who was still awake, asked, "Why are you sighing?"
How could Chiho possibly tell Aoi the real reason? She could only say, "Because the training was too tiring, my body is a little sore."
"Then let's get some rest," Aoi Asahi said, and Chiho could only rest as well.
But the next day, she immediately went to find Xia Wuzhao again and asked why she had done that.
“Since we can receive moonlight, and the doors are all open, wouldn’t the rate of receiving moonlight be greater?” Xia Wuzhao answered Chiho with Chiho’s reasoning; “Didn’t you say that moonlight can bring good luck? So, I’m doing this.”
"this···"
Chiho was at a loss for words; she felt as if she had shot herself in the foot.
But she still came up with a reason, saying, "When the courtyard door is open, the sunflowers will be able to see it. That wouldn't be a good thing."
Xia Wuzhao naturally agreed.
Chiho went to training again, and then prepared for the night raid.
Tonight, Chiho even went out of her way to open the gate of Natsugiri Kai's house that faced the courtyard.
She said to him, "You are absolutely not allowed to touch this door today. Otherwise, the door will be damaged."
Xia Wuzhao really didn't touch the door.
However, Chiho did not launch a night raid.
Because Aoi Asahi didn't seem sleepy at all tonight, and kept chatting with Chiho.
Aoi didn't stop until Chiho was so sleepy that she fell asleep.
The next day, Chiho was extremely annoyed.
"Yesterday, it was such a perfect opportunity, how could I have missed it?"
The girl was extremely distressed, as she was scolded by the old man many times during training.
However, despite the numerous difficulties, she did not give up her plan to launch a night raid.
However, there are always all sorts of unexpected events.
Sometimes the door is locked, sometimes Natsugiri Kai isn't in the room, but most of the time Asahi Aoi will chat very energetically.
Chiho was always sullen when she woke up each day.
It wasn't just because the night raid failed, but also because the relationship between Asahi Aoi and Natsugiri was progressing rapidly.
"It's because I train every day, while Asahi spends every day chatting with Natsugiri."
"However, I don't have any good ways to change it."
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.
It was as if they were bound to a red-hot copper pillar, enduring torture day after day.
"If this continues, Natsugiri will become Asahi Aoi's lover."
Chiho thought pessimistically, but time slipped away day by day amidst her diligent training and failed night raids.
The date has arrived at August 13th, with two days left until the Ghost Festival on August 15th.

Each failure made Chiho increasingly uneasy and anxious.
"Half of summer vacation is already over, but I still haven't made our relationship official with Xia Wuzhao. Is it really impossible for me? Is there really no way?"
Chiho had these thoughts in her mind, but had nowhere to vent them.
He could only vent his anxiety and fear through naginata training.
As usual, Natsugiri Kai and Asahi Aoi would sit to the side, drinking tea and watching Chiho train.
"Half of the summer vacation is already over."
Asahi said, "Wow, that's fast! It's unbelievably fast."
Do you miss home?
Xia Wuzhao didn't look at Asahi Aoi, but asked softly.
"It's not that I'm homesick," Asahi Aoi corrected Natsumi Kai. "I just want to go back to the seaside town for a visit. I just miss it a little."
"Is that so?" Xia Wuzhao said; "Then let's go back."
"Huh?" Aoi looked at Natsugiri with a puzzled expression, wondering, "What do you mean, go back?"
“We’ve stayed here long enough. If you want to go back to the seaside town, you can choose a time to go back,” Xia Wuzhao said. “I’ll also go see my mother-in-law.”
Is that so?
After hearing what Natsugiri Kai said, Asahi Aoi suddenly realized what was going on.
"Is it because of Chiho?"
The girl thought to herself, looking at Chiho who was training hard, sweat dripping down her face, and she understood everything.
"Natsugiri used to use this kind of method."
"I guess those resignation applications were issued under such circumstances."
Aoi used to feel pain whenever she thought about it, but she feels much better now.
At least for now, I'm just sad.
Chiho, who was training, also overheard the conversation between Natsugiri Kai and Asahi Aoi.
"Leaving? Xia Wu is leaving?"
She was on the verge of a breakdown! Her hand movements instantly became chaotic.
The old man glanced at Chiho, then at Asahi Aoi and Natsugiri Kai.
He said to Chiho, "Chiho, come with me."
As she said this, she apologized to Asahi Aoi and Natsugiri Kai, saying, "Please feel free to stay here."
With that, he led the reluctant Chiho away from there.
They arrived at a tea room far from the main house, a place that was extremely quiet.
"grandmother."
Chiho couldn't help but call out, not knowing why her grandmother had called her over.
However, she felt anxious and worried.
"Natsugiri and Asahi are already so affectionate, they've even made plans to go to the seaside town. If I don't stop them, they'll just stay here forever."
"I don't even dare to think about what will happen next."
That's why Chiho was so anxious to leave.
After taking a sip of tea, the old man calmly said, "You really like that boy named Xia Wuzhao?"
"Yes." Chiho admitted it without the slightest hesitation, because what was there to hide?
"I just like him, I can't live without him. If I were to hide it now, wouldn't that be denying my feelings for him, denying my love for him?"
She would never do that.
"—Because my feelings for Natsugiri are no longer pure."
The girl valued Xia Wu more than anything else—more than her life, her soul, her self-esteem, her dignity, and everything else.
She didn't even want to taint this feeling in the slightest, even if it was just a figment of her imagination.
But that's just how stubborn she is.
The old man glanced at Chisui and said, "You go to see him every night, every single day, is that the reason?"
"Yes." Chiho nodded and said, "I like him, I'm hopelessly in love with him."
"But you've never succeeded, have you?" The old man looked at Chiho calmly.
