Only Caelan, Chiyo, and Hiyori remained in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly turned ambiguous.
There were actually two of them?
Caelan looked at the two with some surprise.
He had thought at most only Hiyori would come in, but he had not expected an extra petite girl.
First was Hiyori, green hair tied into a bun, skin as white as cream, eyebrows and eyes like a painting. She was indeed a beauty.
Meeting his gaze, Hiyori's eyes moved, showing the attitude of wanting to refuse yet welcoming.
Caelan smiled back and walked over.
Haha, what God Slayer? Are you not bewitched by me?
Hiyori watched Caelan approach and felt secretly proud.
Hiyori smiled and waited for Caelan's move.
Would he praise her? Or would he caress her?
However, Caelan patted her cheek and said wickedly, "I will deal with you later."
Leaving this line, Caelan walked toward Chiyo.
Hiyori froze, unable to believe her ears.
How could this be? It was completely different from what she had imagined.
The God Slayer was not intoxicated by her at all and seemed to treat her as a plaything.
What made her feel even more insulted was that Caelan bypassed her and went to Chiyo, who stood next to her.
"Look up."
Caelan pinched Chiyo's chin and lifted her pretty face.
At first glance, Caelan was amazed and asked, "What is your name?"
"My name is Chiyo."
Chiyo subconsciously tried to avoid Caelan's eyes.
But her chin was held in his hand, and she could only look at him helplessly.
Caelan chuckled.
Chiyo wore a pink-and-white cherry blossom kimono and had her hair in a simple low ponytail.
She had delicate features, an oval face that was both pure and sultry, and large eyes veiled with a thin mist that seemed to speak.
She carried a contradictory charm. You could not help wanting to protect her, yet at the same time you wanted to stain her.
She had the same temperament as Chiyo from Memoirs of a Geisha, and this Chiyo even had white hair.
"Very good, from now on you will be my maid."
Caelan pulled Chiyo into his arms and whispered in her ear.
"Yes, my lord."
Chiyo's voice was clear and pleasant, yet thin as a mosquito.
It was her first time being so close to a man, and she felt a little shy.
But Caelan was a god who had ridden a dragon yesterday and slain hundreds of samurai in anger, so she dared not resist. She could only shrink into his arms and let him tease her.
Seeing the two so close, Hiyori could not sit still.
She was the most beautiful woman in Wano, the national beauty. She was truly unwilling to be overshadowed by a petite girl.
"Caelan-sama, how about I play a piece on the shamisen for you?"
Hiyori smiled sweetly.
"No need for the shamisen." Caelan refused directly, looked at Hiyori and smiled. "Sorry, I forgot about you just now."
Hiyori forced a smile. "It is alright, Caelan-sama."
And what followed clearly meant that Chiyo was more to his liking than her.
But it did not matter. As long as she was noticed, she could attract Caelan with talent and beauty.
"Kneel and come over here."
Caelan teased Chiyo in his arms and spoke coldly.
"What?"
Hiyori's smile disappeared completely.
Even after noticing her, he still commanded her to kneel and crawl to him.
It was a clear humiliation, the way a master would treat a subordinate.
"Did you not hear me? I said, kneel and come over here."
Caelan said impatiently.
Hiyori wanted to slam the door and leave, but after thinking it through she held back.
She had come here with a mission. Her personal honor no longer mattered.
As long as they could reclaim Wano, everything would be worth it.
Maybe once she charmed Caelan, she could turn today's situation around.
"Yes, Caelan-sama."
Hiyori gritted her teeth, knelt down, and crawled to Caelan step by step.
It was only a few meters, but it felt longer than the entire Red Line.
When she reached Caelan's side, she faced Caelan's calves and the slender calves of Chiyo in his arms.
This made her feel even more humiliated. She was the oiran, and Chiyo was just a newcomer to the trade.
She was supposed to be Chiyo's senior, yet now Chiyo was above her.
"Good girl."
Caelan patted Hiyori's head like petting a dog.
It had to be said, this felt pretty good.
"I follow Caelan-sama's orders."
Hiyori looked up at Caelan with a charming, flattering gaze.
Caelan showed a playful expression and pressed down her head.
And it was bright outside, it was only afternoon, so there was still plenty of time left.
