Chapter 318 The Arrival of the People

Time flew by, and while everyone in the Kamisato family was busy preparing for the banquet, the sun gradually set. Realizing that the time was almost up, Thomas stood at the door of Kamisato's house and prepared to welcome the guests.

The first two people to arrive at Kamisato's house were Shinobu Kuki and Ikto Arataki. Seeing that the guests had arrived, Thomas was about to go forward to greet them, but he saw Ikto holding a box containing a devil beetle and running directly towards Kamisato Ayato who was drinking tea and reading a book in the pavilion.

"Brother Ayato, I'm here. Come, come, these are the ghost beetles I gave you. Let's have a ghost beetle duel. This will give you a good chance to see the strength of these two ghost beetles I gave you."

Seeing Ito coming, Kamisato Ayato, who was drinking tea, brightened up. Kamisato Ayato, who hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, immediately put down the teacup and said with a smile.

"Haha, there's still time. I'll play with you, Yidou."

Seeing that the head of his family was actually playing with the devil beetle with Yidou, Thomas, who was running behind Yidou, felt incredible. The head of the family, who was considered mature and steady in his mind, would actually play such a childish game with Yidou. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Thomas would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

"Well, the boss may not have seen his friend, the head of the Kamisato family, for a long time, so he is a little emotional. But don't worry, Thomas, stupidity is not contagious."

"By the way, this is the gift I prepared for Linghua."

Noticing that Thomas beside her was standing there in a daze, she had already prepared herself for the possibility that her boss might do something weird. After the corners of her mouth under her ninja helmet twitched slightly, she calmly explained a few words and handed the gift she had prepared to Thomas.

"Never mind, it's not a big deal. Miss Kuki Shinobu, just find a place to sit. When everyone is almost here, we can start eating."

Thomas looked at Ito and then at Kuki Shinobu, and found it hard to accept for a moment but still fulfilled his duties. He took Kuki Shinobu's gift, asked the servants to take Kuki Shinobu to the dining table, and then signaled the servants to take Kuki Shinobu's gift to his eldest lady's room. He still had to observe his own master here.

But before Thomas had observed for a few minutes, he saw Ying and Paimon almost walking to the door. As the housekeeper of the Kamisato family, Thomas hesitated for a few seconds and decided to greet the two guests Ying and Paimon first. After all, if he lost the courtesy of the Kamisato family in front of the guests, it would be a dereliction of duty for him as the housekeeper.

As for the head of the family who was playing fighting bugs with Ichito, Thomas felt that his head might have been under too much pressure recently, so he wanted to relax in this way. There shouldn't be any big problem. Well, as Hisayuki Shinobu said, stupidity is not contagious. Even if the head of the family plays fighting bugs with Ichito, there will be no problem. As if he had convinced himself, Thomas turned and walked towards the gate of Kamisato's house.

"Thomas, we're here~ Hey, why do you look a little pale? Are you too tired recently and haven't had enough rest? Or are you like me, Paimon, who didn't eat breakfast and lunch and is waiting for this big dinner tonight?"

Seeing Thomas's strange expression, Paimeng couldn't help but ask Thomas, her good brother, with some concern. In Paimeng's eyes, Thomas was a good man who told her that there would be delicious food in the evening, so it was reasonable for him to show concern.

"Paimon, do you think everyone is the same as you?"

Ying handed the wrapped gift to Thomas while complaining about Paimon. Knowing that he would have a big dinner tonight, Paimon didn't eat a single bite this morning and noon in order to eat more. This amazed Ying. After traveling with Paimon for so long, this was the first time that Paimon didn't eat on time.

"Me? I'm fine. Traveler, Paimon, come in. You can have some snacks first. We can have dinner when everyone is here."

After calming down, Thomas smiled and asked the servants to take Ying and Paimeng to the dining table. When Paimeng heard that there was a snack, he immediately forgot about Thomas's bad face and flew to the dining table. This idiot emergency food, seeing Paimeng just flying over to eat snacks, silently complained about Paimeng in his heart, and then Ying looked at Thomas and asked in a low voice.

"Thomas, what happened? Do you need my help?"

During the time that Inazuma was with her, the Kamizato family took good care of her, so Ying had a good impression of the Kamizato brother and sister. If the Kamizato family really encountered any difficulties, Ying would definitely not stand idly by.

"Is it difficult? Not at all. Don't worry, traveler. If I have anything to trouble you, I will certainly not be polite to you."

Thomas secretly glanced at Ichito and Kamisato Ayato who were not far away. He had already accepted the fact that his master and Ichito were friends, so he didn't intend to get involved. The master must have his own reasons for doing this, Thomas thought as he brought Ying to the dining table.

"Toma, Ying, Shinobi, and little Paimon, I didn't expect you to come so early."

Thomas had just brought Ying to the dining table when Kurumi's voice came into his ears. He turned around and saw that Ruojin, Kurumi, Zhongli and Mona had already appeared in the courtyard of Kamisato's house.

"Thomas, this is a gift, please keep it."

After handing the beautifully wrapped gift box to Thomas, Hu Tao didn't know what politeness was and ran straight to the dining table to grab snacks with Paimon. Seeing Hu Tao's look, Ruo Jin and Ying looked at each other, and suddenly a feeling of mutual understanding arose in their hearts.

"Everyone, please have some snacks to fill your stomach. We will start eating once everyone is here. I will go to the door to greet other guests. If you need anything, just call me."

Feeling a little remiss for not entertaining Wakakin and his four companions right away, Thomas returned to the door of Kamisato House apologetically. He would not make the same mistake a second time, and he would definitely entertain the remaining guests well.

As the sun gradually moved westward, more and more guests arrived. Paimon even secretly ate several pieces of dessert. If Ying hadn't stopped him, Paimon would have eaten the entire plate of cake in front of her.

"Thomas, why hasn't Linghua come out yet? Ying and I are preparing to give her a very wonderful gift."

"Haha, I don't know what the young lady is doing, but she should be out soon. After all, the banquet will start soon, and the young lady will definitely dine with everyone."

In response to Paimon's doubts, Thomas said he didn't know either. He only knew that the eldest lady had hardly left the room since she brought back the custom-made clothes, and he didn't know what his eldest lady was doing.

"Is everyone here? Sorry to have kept you waiting."

A gentle voice rang in everyone's ears, and the noisy sounds at the banquet disappeared. Even Zhongli put down the teacup in his hand and cast a curious look at Kamisato Ayaka, the person who made the voice.
