The next day, sunlight streamed into the room through the window.
Kasumioji Rurichiyo rubbed her sleepy eyes and stretched lazily.
She slowly sat up from the bed and let out a big yawn:
"Haaah... I'm so sleepy."
Kasumioji Rurichiyo squinted, adjusting to the dazzling sunlight.
After a while, she shook her somewhat dizzy head, blinked her dry eyes, and tried to wake herself up.
She patted her cheeks, trying to shake off the drowsiness.
"It's time to go, my family's sisters must be getting impatient..."
She muttered to herself.
She stretched and moved her joints while putting on a beautiful kimono.
After tidying her clothes, she gently pushed open the door and walked out.
Not far outside the door, Kenryu and Enryu had already been waiting for a long time.
When they saw Kasumioji Rurichiyo emerge, they bowed respectfully:
"Young Miss!"
Kasumioji Rurichiyo smiled and nodded, saying:
"Let's go, we're going home."
She was in an exceptionally joyful mood, as if she had accomplished something great.
She walked with light steps, leading Kenryu and Enryu out of the mansion.
At the same time, Aozaki Reiji also walked out of his bedroom.
Hisana had been standing outside the door, waiting for Aozaki Reiji since who knows when.
When she saw Aozaki Reiji, her expression instantly bloomed like a flower.
But then she realized that she shouldn't show such emotions in front of outsiders.
So, she quickly put away her smile, coughed twice, and resumed her dignified demeanor.
Kenryu and Enryu, who were just about to step out the door, glanced at her with a strange look, then hurried out the door with Rurichiyo.
Does Reiji-sama like such eccentric girls?
No wonder he took a liking to Young Miss!
"Good morning, Reiji-sama!"
Hisana clasped her hands in front of her and bowed properly to Aozaki Reiji.
At first glance, she really seemed to exude the Aura of a perfect wife.
Although she was already Aozaki Reiji's wife.
"Breakfast is ready, please follow me."
Hisana said with a smile.
Aozaki Reiji followed her and had a harmonious breakfast with Rukia and the other girls who were still at the Aozaki Family at that time.
And only Rukia and the others.
The young ladies from other noble families did not receive this treatment.
Aozaki Reiji did not like to categorize people, but it was impossible to treat everyone equally.
Of course, Aozaki Reiji was not a bad person, nor did he enjoy tormenting people.
Although those young ladies couldn't take care of themselves, they brought maids when they came to the Aozaki Family.
It wasn't as if they would be unable to survive without Aozaki Reiji.
It was just that those maids, despite being able to do all sorts of housework, could never learn how to fix a water pipe.
Which made Aozaki Reiji quite helpless.
"Is Aura waiting for me?" Aozaki Reiji asked.
"That's right, Aura told you to come find her in the laboratory after breakfast."
Hisana repeated it with a serious expression.
Speaking of which, Aozaki Reiji trusted her immensely...
He even told her about Aura's research underground.
But then again, this woman's life was exceptionally monotonous.
She stayed at home every day and seemed completely uninterested in the outside world.
Aozaki Reiji felt completely at ease with her.
......
Underground at the Aozaki Family, the light was bright, and the air was filled with a faint electronic scent.
This was the Aozaki Family's secret base, where various scientific experiments and research were conducted.
At this moment, in this underground laboratory, a cluster of photons gathered together.
Aozaki Reiji passed through layers of barriers and finally arrived at the core area.
Upon entering, Aozaki Reiji's gaze was immediately drawn to the central position.
Michibane Aura was seen busily working with full concentration.
Her figure stood out remarkably in the light.
Beside her, Bambietta, dressed in a special white military uniform, stood quietly.
She served as Aura's assistant.
And Candice was even involved in the experiment.
According to Aozaki Reiji's observation, her research content should be being researched by others.
Simply put, she was having her blood drawn.
And these blood samples would be sent to Kurotsuchi Mayuri for further research and analysis.
"Reiji, you're here?"
Hearing the sound of the laboratory door opening, Michibane Aura's voice interrupted Aozaki Reiji's thoughts.
She turned to look at Aozaki Reiji, a slight smile on her face.
"I originally wanted to discuss it with you last night, but you didn't come all night."
"It's been two days in a row, at least care about that child's body..."
"Huh? What did you say? Am I that kind of person?"
"You shouldn't need me to say what kind of person you are, but never mind, anyway, I have something important today!"
Watching Bambietta constantly rubbing against Aozaki Reiji, Michibane Aura's smile somehow turned a little cold.
Then, she turned her head, looking at Aozaki Reiji with a slightly sulky expression.
"The Hōgyoku experiment has run into trouble."
Her demeanor made her seem like a normal person.
This made Aozaki Reiji laugh from the bottom of his heart.
This was precisely the result he had meticulously sculpted.
"Take your time with something like this, slow and steady wins the race!"
Aozaki Reiji smiled, comforting Michibane Aura, trying to alleviate her anxiety.
"What exactly is the problem? If there's anything I can help with, just tell me."
Aozaki Reiji gently caressed Michibane Aura's soft little hand, his eyes filled with concern.
"We're running out of experimental materials."
Michibane Aura frowned, looking a little troubled.
"Are you short on fragments of the Soul King?"
"We have enough fragments of the Soul King for now, but we don't have enough Souls."
Michibane Aura shook her head, a hint of helplessness in her voice.
"This is indeed a bit troublesome..."
Aozaki Reiji fell into contemplation, unable to think of a better solution for a while.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a good idea.
"I've thought of a solution, trust me, you don't need to worry about this."
"Give me a few days, and I'll definitely bring you what you want."
Michibane Aura looked at him with some surprise, but didn't say much.
This man always kept his word.
If he said he had a way, then he definitely had a way.
So, she just needed to wait patiently.
And upon hearing Aozaki Reiji say he had a solution, Michibane Aura responded with full confidence:
"As long as I have enough materials, at most half a year, I should be able to achieve the results you want!"
"Oh... quite confident, aren't you."
Since Michibane Aura was so confident, Aozaki Reiji didn't want to discourage her.
Seeing Michibane Aura return to her experiment, Aozaki Reiji turned and walked to the side.
He said to Candice:
"Kurotsuchi Mayuri said he wants a different kind of blood sample this time."
After speaking, Aozaki Reiji tossed the syringe in front of Candice and looked at her with an expression that said, "You know what I mean, right?"
Candice, who had been bored and spacing out nearby, completely unaware of what they were doing, suddenly had her eyes light up.
She had been here for so long, having her blood drawn every day, which had made her feel incredibly numb and annoyed.
However, this time.
It was finally her turn to draw someone else's blood!
The target, of course, was Bambietta, who relied on her special status to take advantage of her every day.
"But... my body belongs to Reiji-sama!"
Bambietta said with a pitiful expression.
"Shut up, you just need to be obedient, Bambietta!"
Aozaki Reiji said coldly.
Listening to Aozaki Reiji's words, Bambietta unconsciously shrank her neck, appearing very fearful.
"Yes, Master."
Candice narrowed her eyes, looking at Bambietta with a contemptuous gaze.
To be so easily trained into a pet by a man, truly useless.
"Candice, what are you waiting for?"
Aozaki Reiji turned his head, placed a large hand on Candice's head, and gently ruffled her hair.
Candice's eyes were filled with indignation, but in the end, she obediently picked up the syringe and began to carry out Aozaki Reiji's command.
