Looking at Kie's delicate and beautiful face, the beauty mark on her lips added even more charm to her.
Just from her appearance, it was hard to imagine that she could maintain herself so well in that era and environment.
As for her hands and feet, although years of labor had given her calluses, and her fingers had become rough, no longer delicate, her skin was still very fair.
If placed in his real world, her appearance would definitely surpass 99% of current female celebrities.
And she was so virtuous, hardworking without complaint, gentle, considerate, and understanding – truly rare in this world.
She was a traditional woman, and an excellent one at that.
Ask yourself, how many such women are there in reality?
With a woman like this in front of you, who wouldn't pursue her at all costs!
If she became your wife, you'd slap yourself in the face rather than argue!
Oh no, you'd rather die than argue with her!!
"Whew..."
"Still not working..."
After Kaito delivered a big breath of air to Kie, she showed no signs of movement.
Since one breath wasn't enough, Kaito gave her another.
Then, pressing on her chest again, after she spit out a little more water, Kaito continued with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
This knowledge was all common sense taught in public courses at his university, after all, Shanghai is by the sea, and people drown every year.
Besides this common sense, it also included how to handle fires, earthquakes, etc.
Kaito didn't know if his technique was professional, but he seriously tried to rescue Kie.
He also blamed himself for this happening. If he had been a little more careful, maybe Kie wouldn't have had this accident.
"Ha..."
Taking another deep breath, he pressed his lips to hers again and delivered air.
After doing this several times in a row, Kie finally slowly opened her eyes.
From Kie's current perspective, the most direct thing she saw was Kaito's somewhat anxious expression, then the sensation of Kaito giving her mouth-to-mouth, and finally the urge to cough.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!!"
"Thank goodness."
Seeing Kie awake, Kaito quickly helped her turn halfway and gently patted her back to help her expel water.
After a while, Kie slowly recovered.
"Mrs. Kamado, how are you feeling now?"
"Hmm..."
Kie was still a bit uncomfortable, but what made her most uncomfortable, oh no, what made her most shy, was that incident just now...
If she had known, she wouldn't have caught that big crab.
But...
She didn't know why, but unexpectedly, she wasn't as regretful as she thought she would be; instead, she felt a little happy?
This feeling left Kie, still in a daze, speechless. When she came to her senses, her originally somewhat pale face gradually flushed with warmth.
Seeing her complexion recover, Kaito finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Gently helping her stand up, Kaito observed Kie again. Ensuring she was unharmed, he apologized and asked her to go back and rest.
"I should be the one apologizing, Kaito-san. It's not your fault."
'If anyone was to blame, it was that crab.'
'This whole incident was the crab's fault.'
But Kaito still insisted she go back and rest, and also had her relight the campfire to warm up. Her health was the priority.
Kie returned to the small rock stool outside the rock house and sat down. She took some still-burning wood from the campfire, grabbed some nearby dry grass, blew on it to make it blaze, and started the fire.
Then she added more wood to keep it burning.
This was also thanks to Kaito's campfire being large enough, with plenty of wood inside, and covered with a stone slab, which made the wood burn slower.
It was a convenient way to preserve the embers, so Irisviel wouldn't need to use Magecraft to light it.
Kie took off her wet clothes, blushing, hung them up, and warmed herself by the campfire.
Occasionally rubbing her hands together, she then couldn't help but touch her own lips.
She couldn't help but think of the moment Kaito gave her mouth-to-mouth, and her face grew even redder.
From here, she could still see Kaito's back. Kie looked up and watched him.
Unconsciously, her gaze gradually softened.
It was like watching her beloved working outside. Kie's soft, water-like purple pupils were filled entirely with Kaito's back.
She didn't know why she liked watching Kaito. Was it because he had saved her life?
"Oh? Mrs. Kamado, why are you warming yourself here? Your clothes are wet?"
Sephie walked out of the room, stretched, and happened to see Kie staring at Kaito.
But she was more curious about Kie's current state.
"Ah, Mrs. Sephie, good morning!"
"Hehe, good morning. Can you tell me what happened?"
Sephie smiled, picked up a nearby small rock stool, and sat beside her, asking.
She had noticed Kie staring blankly at Kaito, not even hearing the sound of her opening the rock door.
"Of course. Although it's a bit embarrassing to talk about, it's not something I can't say."
Kie briefly recounted what had happened.
Although being given mouth-to-mouth by Kaito made her very shy, it was Kaito saving her, not something shameful, so she still said it.
After listening, Sephie nodded and then revealed a helpless smile.
She was sure that Kaito hadn't done it on purpose.
Sometimes coincidences happen. Maybe among the entire group, only Kie was the least concerned about Kaito.
But now...
Somehow, the relationship between the two had progressed nicely.
At this moment, Sephie gradually began to suspect that the chat group inviting Kaito might have been intentional?
Well, whether the chat group was intentional or he really joined by mistake, she no longer cared about what had happened. After all, she didn't reject Kaito.
Furthermore, with Kaito around, the chat group had become more lively, and the topics had increased.
Besides...
She had someone she could rely on!
"Mrs. Kamado, what do you think of Kaito-san?"
"Hmm? He... is a very good person."
Hmm, a very good person.
This wasn't giving him a 'good guy card'; it was Kie's heartfelt praise.
"Hehe, but there are many women around him. Would you still think that?"
"Huh?"
Asked this, Kie was momentarily stunned.
'Wasn't it normal for a man of status and power to have many women?'
A man as outstanding as Kaito would certainly be a noble, a daimyo in her world. It was perfectly normal for him to have many mothers and concubines.
Thus, becoming Kaito's wife would actually be a great honor and a happy thing!
