At this time in New York, the skyline has already revealed a hint of morning light.
Tokyo should have only just entered the evening. So, Charlie took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Nanako.
A few minutes ago, Nanako had just finished a day’s work and returned to virtual-novel.net home by car. Since taking over the Ito family, virtual-novel.net has been working overtime during this period of time, so that virtual-novel.net can adapt as soon as possible and be promoted to the role of the helm of the Ito family.
Under normal circumstances, virtual-novel.net usually waits until after 9 p.m. to get home from work.
The reason why virtual-novel.net came home after six o’clock today is mainly because today is virtual-novel.net father’s 50th birthday. She left work early to celebrate his birthday.
In the past, on the birthday of Yuhiko Ito, not only the collateral members of the entire Ito family would come to celebrate the birthday, but even the heads of many famous families in Tokyo would come to congratulate him.
However, since Yuhiko Ito amputated both legs, virtual-novel.net has been very resistant to such crowded occasions, so this year’s birthday dinner, virtual-novel.net closed the door to thank guests and simply stayed at home with his daughter, sister and loyal servant Tanaka, etc.
When a person eats a meal, it counts as a birthday celebration.
When Nanako entered the door, aunt Emi just brought virtual-novel.net servants and prepared a table of sumptuous delicacies in the center of the main hall and specially prepared two bottles of the top fourteenth generation Longquan sake for Yuhiko Ito.
Seeing Nanako coming back, Emi smiled and said, “Nanako, go to your father’s room and tell virtual-novel.net to come out. The food is ready, you are back, we can start.”
“Okay, auntie.” Nanako lightly nodded and then asked in a low voice, “Auntie, is father feeling okay?”
“He’s okay.” Emi smiled and said, “He was a little gloomy at noon, but Tanaka came over to accompany virtual-novel.net in the afternoon and fed virtual-novel.net some soup, the two of them played billiards and virtual-novel.net looked much better. He just said virtual-novel.net was a little tired and wanted to go back to his room to rest for a while, saying that you will come and call virtual-novel.net later.”
“Okay.” Nanako sighed softly, “Then I’ll go and call him.”
Emi instructed, “Go and put on the kimono first. Don’t forget your father’s character. Today, the whole mansion has changed into traditional-style clothes.”
Nanako took a slap on the forehead, “I almost forgot… I’m going to change my clothes!”
The nation of Japan, in some respects, is a contradictory body that coexists with water and fire.
In the whole of Asia, Japan is the most westernized country. Office workers in this country wear suits and ties all year round, even in the hottest weather, they are also one of the countries that retain traditional culture most thoroughly.
Take Yuhiko Ito, for example, virtual-novel.net is almost always dressed in suits and leather shoes in public and even pays more attention to Western etiquette than the local. However, when virtual-novel.net leaves the business field, virtual-novel.net likes to live in a traditional Japanese manner the most and when it comes to major festivals, virtual-novel.net only wears the pattern woven with a hakama.
Like the kimono worn by Japanese women, the hakama is the highest-ranking traditional clothing in Japan.
Whether Nanako used to go to school, compete, or now works, most of the time virtual-novel.net dresses in a normal modern western style, but because of family traditions, virtual-novel.net also has to change into kimonos at major festivals to show virtual-novel.net traditions.
Back in virtual-novel.net room, virtual-novel.net chose a pure white kimono and with the help of two personal maids, virtual-novel.net dressed the kimono and matching decorations neatly.
After all, virtual-novel.net is the No. 1 beauty in Japan known as Yamato Nadeko. When Nanako puts on a traditional Japanese kimono, Yamato Nadeko’s unparalleled beauty and quiet virgin temperament are vividly highlighted.
The maid who tied virtual-novel.net waist couldn’t help sighing, “Miss is so beautiful in a kimono. If virtual-novel.net wears a kimono to marry in the future, it will definitely amaze the whole of Japan!”
Nanako looked at herself in the mirror and couldn’t help but feel shy and said to the maid, “Why do I have to wear a kimono to get married?”
The maid said in surprise, “My lord is so observant of traditions, if you don’t wear a kimono to marry, virtual-novel.net must be very angry? Besides, I always feel that we Japanese women, wearing a kimono look better than wearing a wedding dress. After all, this is a traditional costume that has been passed down from generation to generation. It is not only tailor-made for us but also more in line with the temperament of women.”
Nanako blushed slightly and said, “You know in China there is a wedding dress called the dragon and phoenix gown, which is also very beautiful.”
