Suzuki Tomoko suddenly sighed, looked at Natsume with a resentful gaze, and said helplessly:
"After using the [Time Capsule] that day, I felt like I was young again, full of energy and tireless!"
"But after a day, I'll be back to how I was before. I get tired easily if I'm even a little busy. Xia Ye, the Youth Preservation Pill only locks your appearance in that moment of youth, but it doesn't affect your physical condition. Do you have any solutions?"
Although it can perform collaborative tasks.
But there's not much she can do given her position.
Moreover, given her current relationship with Xia Ye, she could simply ask him for the props. If he had them, he certainly wouldn't be stingy!
"Can it restore your body to a youthful state?"
Xia Ye pondered, "If only I had another bottle of [Resurrection Dew], one sip would probably fix it, and it would have all sorts of other benefits too. But that stuff is incredibly rare; who knows when it might appear..."
"As for anything else useful, I'll give it to you if I get it~"
"Hmm~"
Tomoko Suzuki nodded.
She wasn't in a rush about this.
As long as Xia Ye remembers! (Knife)
Chapter 146 Ripples in the Bath
Outside the soup room.
Yuko stood guard at the door, her face flushed.
Unlike last time when no one was around late at night, this time it was daytime. Although the bathhouse was a bit secluded, other maids would occasionally pass by and, seeing Yuko standing at the door, would all give her ambiguous looks.
"Yuko, is your future son-in-law taking a hot spring bath?"
A maid who was on good terms with her tiptoed over, glanced at the door to the bath room, and teased in a low voice:
"Why didn't I invite you in? You're so beautiful, with such a great figure. Those white stockings, I just want to touch them. How can my future son-in-law resist? Is he a gentleman?"
gentleman?
Yuko rolled her eyes.
If you could see the scene in the bathhouse right now, you wouldn't have used such a word that has absolutely nothing to do with Young Master Natsume.
The two people inside are doing something that completely violates public order, good morals, and ethics. But what can I do? I'm just a lowly maid; I have to obediently stay here and guard the door for them.
and also--
I am indeed quite pretty, and my figure is also pretty good!
But compared to the lady, she's utterly dwarfed!
"Cough cough!"
Yuko coughed lightly and said seriously:
"Young Master Xia Ye said he's not used to being watched while soaking in the hot spring, so he asked me to watch the door and make sure no one disturbs him!"
Yuko felt a pang of conscience.
Those two were having a great time inside.
But he himself had to lie outside the door to cover for them.
She felt utterly degraded. "I was such a model student, how did I become—"
Oh, a monthly salary of 1.2 million!
That’s okay!
The thought of her current salary made Yuko instantly throw her conscience to the side of "727". She was just a maid, and her salary was higher than the average salary of a medical student who graduated from the University of Tokyo. What was conscience? How much was it worth?
"Whoosh whoosh-!"
The sound of water flowing continuously emanated from the soup room.
"What's the noise?"
Yuko's friend looked at Yuma in surprise.
"Young Master Xia Ye is swimming!"
Yuko calmly spouted nonsense. The lady paid her so much salary, so lying was nothing. Anyone could do that, especially women!
"swim?"
My friend had some doubts.
However, seeing Yuko's sincere and determined eyes, she could only nod and choose to believe her:
"My future son-in-law has some truly unique hobbies—swimming in hot springs. Never mind, I'm off. You get back to your work, Yuko~"
busy?
Yuko watched her friend's retreating figure and sighed softly.
What am I busy with?
I'm just a doorman.
Those two inside are really busy!
...
Between the hot springs, in the hot spring pool.
Tomoko Suzuki emerged from the water, glaring at Natsume with her beautiful, light blue eyes, and pinched him.
"There are people outside, and you still..."
"Well, there's nothing I can do, I can't control it."
Xia Ye lay on the edge of the hot spring pool, her lower body submerged in the water, her hands behind her head. She felt completely refreshed, all her worries gone, as if she had just expelled toxins from her entire body.
Tomoko Suzuki glanced seductively at what lay beneath the water's surface, and then lightly spat out:
"If anyone finds out, I'll kill them all. The maids in my house are all young and beautiful girls. I don't believe you won't feel sorry for them!"
"Of course I feel bad!"
Natsume waved to Tomoko Suzuki and said with a smile, "Beautiful girls are meant to be cherished. Killing them would be such a waste!"
"As long as you know!"
Tomoko Suzuki rolled her eyes at him, stood up from the water, and casually walked over to sit down next to Natsume, scoffing softly:
Be careful next time!
"Got it~"
Xia Ye greedily admired the fleeting beauty, and only after she entered the water did she ask curiously, "Are all the maids in your house university students? Yuko seems to be a student at a Japanese university?"
"Most of them are, and a few are high school students."
Tomoko Suzuki had a rosy complexion and looked quite well, but there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes. She rested her head on Natsume's shoulder and explained softly:
“Yuko and the others are all students from prestigious universities, but they all have their own difficulties. I recruited them as maids to help them out and, incidentally, to cultivate some talent for the Suzuki Group. The maids in my house can basically get jobs at the Suzuki Group after graduation, so it’s a good thing for them!”
It's more than just a good thing!
Xia Ye sighed.
Working as a maid for two years and then getting a job at the Suzuki Group is an incredibly good deal!
The salary is high, the benefits are good, and you can even meet the head and heir of the Suzuki family. Countless people would definitely want to come here!
of course.
Yuko and the others are definitely very outstanding.
Otherwise, they would never have had the chance to become maids at Suzuki Manor. After all, Suzuki Tomoko isn't just doing charity work; only the most outstanding talents could catch her eye!
so--
Yuko, the maid who almost served him in bed, is actually a top student and should be a popular figure at school.
Xia Ye was starting to regret it!
"What are you doing!"
Suzuki Tomoko was lying down to rest when she felt Natsume pulling her hand, so she lazily looked up and asked.
"Let's soak for a while longer!"
"I'm too tired to go!"
Ignoring Natsume's burning gaze, Suzuki Tomoko stretched out her body in a seductive yawn, clearly not intending to do any more exercise.
Let me see~
Xia Ye took Suzuki Tomoko's slender, fair wrist and frowned slightly: "As expected, apart from your appearance not changing, your physical functions have returned to their previous state. You're too weak. It seems we need to find a complete solution quickly. The [Time Capsule] twice a week is simply not enough."
"Then it's up to you!"
Tomoko Suzuki, with a seductive look in her eyes, chuckled and said:
"otherwise--"
"You'll have to bear the consequences yourself."
"I'll try my best!"
Now Natsume is in a bind. If Suzuki Tomoko continues to have poor stamina and gets tired easily, what fun will there be?
..........
After dinner.
In the living room, Ayako and Sonoko chatted with Natsume.
In the afternoon, Sonoko went to see a movie with Ran and the others. The movie they saw was "Blue Kingdom," which had just been released.
According to her, Ran, Yukiko, Ai, and Akemi all went, and they even brought along Yoko Okino, who didn't have any engagements that day.
Xia Ye found it all rather magical.
These women and girls, who barely interacted in the original story, are now happily going to see a romantic movie together. Is this the effect of my time travel?
"Sis, the director and screenwriter of 'Blue Kingdom' are your friends, right? Ran wants her autograph~" Sonoko felt that her best friend actually had the temperament of an artsy young woman, and loved this kind of slightly melancholic movie!
"sure!"
A complex look flashed in Ayako Suzuki's beautiful eyes, but because she was squinting, neither Natsume nor Sonoko saw it:
"I'll just tell Chikako!"
"Thank you sister!"
Sonoko affectionately hugged her older sister's arm and swayed it playfully. She rarely did this with Ran, but she did it so naturally in front of her sister, which showed how close the two sisters were.
"Like a little kid!"
Ayako Suzuki gently stroked her younger sister's hair. This girl has become so beautiful just by changing her hairstyle. It's really a bit enviable!
"Aren't you afraid Xia Ye will laugh at you!"
"I'm not afraid!"
Sonoko raised her little face, looked at Natsume, and said in a sweet voice:
"Xia Ye, will you laugh at me?"
"How come~"
Xia Ye smiled and replied:
"The garden is so cute, I love it!"
"Look!"
Sonoko proudly showed off to her older sister.
"Tsk tsk, the stench of love!"
Ayako Suzuki glanced at Natsume and teased:
