Two in the afternoon.
According to the arrangent, Hakushi went to et Ayane.
The so-called ’old place’ refers to Hakushi’s original ho, the house cleaned only a few tis a year.
"Very punctual, Hakushi-kun."
At the entrance downstairs of the apartnt building, Ayane, who saw Hakushi arriving on ti, smiled slightly as she stood there.
"You did say to et at two, didn’t you?"
"That’s correct."
"So why did you ask to et ? I don’t recall giving you any important observation tasks recently. So for you to deceive Ruri just to call out, is sothing going on?"
Ayane could use the reason of an observation task to fool Ruri, but she couldn’t hide it from him.
Because whether any important observation tasks were given to Ayane, Hakushi was most aware of it.
Although many observation tasks were arranged for Ayane in the past, that was because the experint was just starting and many things indeed needed the Byakugan to observe.
Now the research has already gotten on track, general experints don’t require the Byakugan, and even for things he doesn’t understand, he doesn’t know how to utilize the Byakugan for observation.
So he thought Ayane must have so other matter to discuss rather than the so-called observation task.
"Can’t I call you out even if there’s nothing?"
"It’s not that, it just seed strange suddenly."
"I happen to have lots of free ti today, so I wanted to invite you to go shopping with ."
"Are you two timing this together or sothing?"
Hakushi quipped.
Just went out shopping with Ruri yesterday afternoon, and now doing it again today.
If they have any shopping plans again soday, the three of them might as well go together to save ti.
"What?"
Ayane glanced at Hakushi with confusion.
"No, nothing, I’m just complaining."
"If I’m disturbing you, Hakushi-kun can just leave here alone. Work does co first, after all."
Ayane blinked at Hakushi with an understanding smile.
"No need, work has been going smoothly lately. And I’m not that busy. No issue on my end."
Leaving because of work at this mont would be quite hurtful indeed.
Besides, while there are temporary assistants at the lab, as long as they follow the experint steps he provided strictly and proceed slowly, there won’t be any major issues.
"Really? Then that’s good."
"But, is there sothing you need to buy?"
"Yes, recently for so reason, I always feel tightness in my chest as if the clothes inside would suddenly burst open."
Ayane tugged at her collar, unconcerned about saying this in front of Hakushi.
"Don’t say things like that suddenly in front of , be careful, I might take it seriously, you know."
Honestly, none of them truly let him relax.
Hakushi sighed helplessly.
"So, do you want to thoroughly check inside and out here, Dr. Hakushi?"
Ayane gently brushed aside the bangs on her forehead, her smile was pure and charming.
When she said this, she didn’t seem to realize how shocking her words were to a guy.
In so ways, Hakushi considered Ayane more dangerous than Ruri.
All because a poor example was set for her during childhood.
Now she’s learned it perfectly.
When first eting Ayane, she was a pure and inside-out sweet girl.
But after that incident, although she still appeared pure and harmless on the outside, her inner essence was... probably utterly rotten by now.
If he had known, he should have instructed her differently.
Now it’s too late for regret.
"No."
Hakushi felt his heart skip a beat uncontrollably, montarily looking away from Ayane, gently adjusting his breath.
Assuming she’s frivolous and easy based on her words alone would be a big mistake.
This woman, quite like himself, is skilled in deception and camouflaging.
Unlike traditional Hyuga Clan ninjas’ personalities at all.
Seeing Hakushi decline, Ayane rely smiled, saying nothing further.
Then, Hakushi followed Ayane’s lead, wandering leisurely around Konoha Village.
For Hakushi, this was equivalent to taking a relaxing stroll outside, even though he couldn’t understand why won suddenly get enthusiastic about shopping...
However, from the physiological and psychological perspectives of n and won, there are significant differences, so let’s just assu this too is a aningful activity.
The weather in late August was always so sultry, even if it had past the hottest ti of the day, the afternoon sun remained glaring.
The Land of Fire is a country with relatively distinct seasons, Konoha Village, situated in this country, naturally mirrored this trait.
Due to the warti period, hardly any active ninjas could be seen on Konoha’s streets.
Aside from ninjas like them staying in the village for special reasons, so indeed had to remain to protect the village’s security.
In Hakushi’s view, while Konoha Village’s prosperity was actually quite low, compared to the broader context of the Ninja Realm, having internal peace was fortunate enough.
Ayane didn’t want to buy much, mostly decorations that didn’t particularly interest Hakushi.
Watching Ayane sift through the items in the shop, she still looked adorable even from the side.
