Tokyo: Something's wrong with my label

Chapter 141 Did I hurt you?

Saionji Tetsuya said boldly while leading them to the basement.

His voice echoed in the corridor, full of kindness and enthusiasm for Aragaki.

A hint of surprise flashed in Aragaki Jing's eyes.

If he could obtain a famous sword, he might be able to use it to condense a corresponding label.

For example: tags such as [Famous Sword Owner], [Samurai] and so on.

Saionji Tetsuya was willing to let him choose from his collection, which was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for Aragaki Yasushi.

"Really? Senior Xiionji, how can you be so embarrassed?"

Although Aragaki Jing said this, the smile on his face had already betrayed his true thoughts in his heart.

"Oh, why are you so embarrassed? Swords are meant for people to use, and they are just left there. Why don't they be used by people who really know how to use them?"

Saionji Tetsuya waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

While they were talking, they had arrived at the door of the basement.

Saionji Tetsuya opened the door, and a stale smell hit his face.

However, Aragaki Jing seemed to smell the smell of swords, and his heart beat involuntarily faster.

Some dim yellow light shines from the overhead chandelier, adding a bit of haziness and mystery to this dark space.

The air is filled with the smell of old wood and metal, which is the unique smell contained in the sword.

Various famous swords were hung in an orderly manner on the wall, and they shone with a cold light under the light.

Each famous sword seems to have its own soul and story, waiting in silence for the moment to be awakened.

Although the lights in the basement were dim, Aragaki could still clearly see the famous swords hanging on the walls.

They hang there quietly, as if waiting for the arrival of the destined person.

“These are all famous knives that I have collected over the years, each with its own unique story and history.”

Saionji Tetsuya pointed at those famous swords and introduced them to Aragaki Yasushi and others one by one.

Mainly introduced to Yasuhito Aragaki.

This is because, as the younger brother of Saionji Tetsuya, Saionji Kazuhiko also has a certain understanding of the origin stories of most of these swords.

Maki Takehara was the female companion who came with Yasu Aragaki. If she had not followed Yasu Aragaki, she would not have the qualifications to come to Saionji's house.

While listening to Tetsuya Saionji's introduction, Aragaki stepped forward and looked at each famous sword carefully.

Their blades shone with cold light, as if telling of their past glory and glory.

Finally, Aragaki's eyes fell on a famous knife that looked ordinary but was quite sharp.

He reached out his hand and gently touched the blade.

At that moment, he seemed to feel the power and soul contained in this famous sword.

"Senior Saionji, I want this." Aragaki turned around with a firm light in his eyes.

Saionji Tetsuya looked at the famous sword chosen by Aragaki Yasushi with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

He didn't expect Aragaki Yasushi to choose a Muramasa sword.

The name Muramasa Sword has a special status in Japanese history. It is not only a representative of the craftsman's exquisite skills, but also a history full of blood and curses.

The Muramasa sword, also known as Senko Muramasa, was originally the name of the swordsman of Ise who lived for about a hundred years from the middle Muromachi period to the Tensho period. The forging skills were exquisite, and the forged samurai swords were not only extremely sharp, but also had gorgeous decorative patterns.

Later, in the Edo period, three generations of Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandfather, father, and son were all killed by the Muramasa sword.

Even Tokugawa Ieyasu himself was injured by the Muramasa sword.

Tokugawa Ieyasu hated Muramasa extremely and denounced it as an unlucky symbol. He ordered Muramasa to be abolished and not allowed to be used. Those who wielded swords were considered to be in contempt of the shogunate and were sentenced to death.

At this point, the Muramasa sword was dubbed the "demon sword".

It was precisely for this reason that Toruya Saionji was surprised when he saw Yasushi Aragaki choose a Muramasa sword.

However, he knew that this famous sword would shine with new glory in the hands of Aragaki Yasushi.

After choosing the sword, Saionji Tetsuya took Aragaki Yasushi to visit his basement.

Aragaki looked around at the basement of Saionji's house. He also wanted to build a basement to use as a research laboratory and craft room.

Time slipped unknowingly like fine sand, and in a blink of an eye, the sky outside was dyed a deep blue by the twilight.

Saionji Tetsuya glanced at the exquisite wall clock on the wall. The hour hand pointed to the moment when the dinner was about to begin.

"Senior Aragaki, the dinner will start soon. Please stay for the dinner tonight." Tetsuya Saionji revealed his sincere invitation and expectation in his words.

Aragaki Jing smiled slightly, but he had no intention of shirk.

In fact, he had already foreseen the social dinner tonight before he decided to come to Saionji's house and was fully prepared for it.

Otherwise, he would not have asked Maki Takehara to follow him as his female companion.

So Aragaki nodded slightly and replied: "Of course, Senior Xiionji. I am honored to accept your invitation."

However, he then added a little apologetically: "However, there is one thing that I may need to trouble you with. Neither Maki nor I brought a dress for the dinner."

When Aragaki Yasu said this, he had a slightly embarrassed look on his face. After all, in such an occasion, not having a suitable dress is indeed a big problem.

After hearing this, Tetsuya Saionji waved his hand nonchalantly, with a tolerant smile on his face.

"Haha, this is just a trivial matter. Don't worry, I will have people prepare suitable dresses for you."

After saying that, he gave instructions to the butler and head maid who were following him, asking them to prepare the attire for the dinner for Aragaki Yasushi and Takehara Maki.

The butler and head maid respectfully agreed.

Under the guidance of the housekeeper and the head maid, Aragaki Yasushi and Takehara Maki were brought to an exquisitely decorated room.

This is a large changing room with spacious space and soft light. The surrounding walls are inlaid with exquisite wall lamps, emitting a warm and soft light.

There are rows of clothes racks in the room, filled with all kinds of gorgeous dresses, each one exuding unique brilliance and charm.

"Mr. Aragaki, Miss Takehara, please come with me."

The head maid said with a smile, her voice gentle and kind.

She first asked about the body data of Aragaki Yasushi and Takehara Maki, and then called a professional maid to carefully measure their body sizes to ensure that she could choose the most suitable dress.

Then the head maid walked to the clothes rack and began to carefully select a dress.

Her eyes wandered over each dress, as if searching for the perfect one.

After a while, she chose a black suit and a black evening dress.

These two dresses not only complement the temperaments of Yasushi Aragaki and Maki Takehara, but also highlight their elegance and nobility.

She handed the dress to Yasushi Aragaki and Maki Takehara and motioned for them to try it on.

The two took the gown, smiled at each other tacitly, and then walked into the dressing room together. The light in the dressing room is soft and there is a light fragrance in the air.

Yasushi Aragaki and Maki Takehara stood side by side. Although the space in the locker room was large, the two were so close to each other that they could almost feel each other's breathing.

"You change first." Aragaki Jing said softly, with a hint of tenderness in his voice.

"Okay." Takehara Maki responded, and then began to take off his clothes.

Her movements are light and graceful, as if every detail has been carefully designed.

Maki Takehara has a graceful figure and graceful curves, as if she is a masterpiece carefully carved by nature.

Aragaki's eyes fell on her unconsciously, but her curvy figure attracted his eyes like a magnet.

In the process of changing clothes, their arms inevitably touched lightly.

For Takehara Maki, every touch was like an electric current passing through her body, making her feel a numb feeling.

Soon, Takehara Maki's heartbeat accelerated and her breathing became rapid.

"Do you need my help?" Aragaki asked softly.

"Yes." Takehara Maki responded in a low voice, but her voice also revealed a hint of trembling.

She could feel Aragaki's eyes lingering on her body, which made her feel nervous and looking forward to it.

The air between the two seemed to become thinner at this moment, and every breath seemed to carry the faint fragrance of the other person, which was intoxicating.

Maki Takehara tried her best to stay calm, but the little deer in her heart kept racing.

Aragaki Jing's movements were gentle and meticulous, as if he was afraid of hurting the woman in front of him.

His fingers inadvertently touched Takehara Maki's skin, and the warmth spread through the fabric, making Takehara Maki shrink involuntarily.

"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" Aragaki Jing immediately stopped what he was doing and asked with concern.

"No, it's just a bit...cold." Maki Takehara made an excuse. She knew her face must be red and hot.

Aragaki Jing smiled slightly, without exposing her lie, but gently took her hand and wrapped her cold fingertips with his own palm.

This move made Takehara Maki's heart beat faster again, and she could clearly hear her own heartbeat echoing in her ears.

The atmosphere between the two became extremely ambiguous at this moment, and there was an indescribable feeling in the air.

The process of changing clothes seemed to take an extremely long time, but Maki Takehara wished that time could stand still at this moment.

She didn't want to break this beautiful atmosphere, she just wanted to quietly enjoy every moment with Aragaki.

After changing into dresses, the two stood side by side in front of the mirror, their eyes falling on the reflection in the mirror.

Yasushi Aragaki is dressed in a black suit, elegant and noble, and every detail shows his mature and steady temperament.

Maki Takehara wore a black evening dress, the skirt swaying gently, like a black rose blooming in the night sky, mysterious and delicate.

The skirt hugged the curves of her body and outlined her perfect figure to the fullest.

Her shoulders were exposed, and her skin was as white as snow. In sharp contrast with the black dress, her skin was even more fair and delicate.

Her long hair was pulled up, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbones, adding a bit of noble temperament to her.

Her eyes were deep and bright, probably because of her vampire status. There was a hint of crimson hidden in the depths of her pupils, which seemed to attract people's souls to sink deep into them.

Their eyes met in the mirror, as if a thousand words were flowing silently.

Aragaki Yasu turned his head and took a deep look at Takehara Maki, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Maki, you look really beautiful tonight."

His voice was low and magnetic, as if it had some kind of magic power, making Takehara Maki's heart beat uncontrollably again.

Takehara Maki met his gaze and smiled slightly, her eyes shining with shyness and happiness.

"You too, you look handsome."

Although her voice was soft, it was full of sincerity and affection, as if at this moment, she felt unprecedented happiness and satisfaction.

The two walked out of the locker room and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

When the two of them walked out of the locker room arm in arm, they instantly caught everyone's attention.

Their appearance seemed to brighten the entire occasion and became the focus of everyone's attention.

The head maid looked at them with admiration and appreciation in her eyes.

She walked forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Aragaki, Miss Takehara, you are a perfect match. This dress looks perfect on you."

Saionji Tetsuya also walked over, his eyes wandering back and forth between Aragaki Yasushi and Takehara Maki, as if he was shocked by their appearance.

"Senior Aragaki, and Senior Takehara, you guys are going to steal the show tonight."

Saionji Tetsuya said with some envy.

"Senior Saionji is so complimentary." Yasushi Aragaki said humbly.

As night falls and the lanterns are turned on, the entire banquet hall is enveloped in soft and warm light, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.

As guests arrived one after another, the banquet hall gradually became lively.

The men wore all kinds of suits, and the ladies wore all kinds of evening dresses. Everyone showed their best after being carefully dressed.

Their arrival added a touch of bright color to the dinner.

At the door, guests walked elegantly into the banquet hall under the guidance of the waiter.

Their faces were filled with smiles, and some gathered together to chat and chat. The whole scene was full of joy and harmony.

Among the guests, there were some familiar faces.

They are either industry elites or celebrities in the social circle. The arrival of each person adds a unique charm to the dinner.

Their chatting and laughing made the whole banquet hall more lively.

Aragaki Yasushi and Takehara Maki also stood aside and naturally integrated into the feast.

Their appearance and temperament are outstanding. Even among the many guests, they are still the focus of the crowd.

Many guests came up to chat with them, guessing which young master or young lady they were.

Suddenly, Aragaki's eyes looked in a certain direction.

He found a familiar girl among the crowd.
