"I like the feeling of being close to Konan-nee," Aoba said as a matter of course.
Konan's face turned even redder, but she didn't say anything.
She hurriedly brushed her teeth and washed her face, then headed outside.
However, Aoba grabbed her wrist.
Konan: "What are you doing?"
Aoba pointed at her hair, "Your hair isn't done yet."
Konan looked toward the mirror in front of her.
She still hadn't tied her hair into a bun. Her short blue-purple hair was loosely scattered, a bit frizzy.
She reached out and pressed it down.
Those tufts of hair were still stubborn.
She tried dabbing so water to fix it, but it was no use.
"Use this," Aoba picked up a bottle of hair serum from the sink, squeezed a bit onto his hand and rubbed it.
Then he helped Konan smooth her hair down.
"Tha… thank you."
Their eyes happened to et. Konan's face turned red again.
Though she had a cold and elegant face, her eyes were full of shyness.
That contrast made Aoba a bit entranced.
"Konan-nee, you're really beautiful."
Konan was slightly stunned, but Aoba had already leaned in to ki-ss her.
The two had just brushed their teeth, so it was all the scent of toothpaste.
The experience was even better than last night.
Konan's face was slightly flushed, maybe also because Temari was just in the next room.
She felt her heartbeat speeding up, her whole body in a mysterious state of nervousness and excitent.
"En… enough," Unable to hold it in, Konan pushed Aoba away, breathing lightly.
"Konan-nee, are you still mad?", Aoba asked with a smile.
Konan paused, originally wanting to say she was still angry, but seeing Aoba looking like he was about to lean in again, she said nothing and ran off like fleeing.
She didn't want to have to shower again first thing in the morning.
Watching Konan's flustered figure, Aoba licked his lips.
He found that this move still worked best.
———
When the three were having breakfast together, although Konan kept her head down the whole ti, she no longer had that icy expression from before.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
A very soft knocking sound suddenly rang out, as if the person knocking was afraid to disturb those inside.
If the three of them didn't have above-average hearing, they really might have missed it.
"I'll get the door,".Aoba stood up.
"It's you!", Opening the door and seeing the visitor, Aoba's expression turned a bit surprised.
"Ao… Aoba-sama, hello!", Seeing that it was Aoba who opened the door, Kin quickly bowed in greeting, her expression full of fear and trembling, like she was facing so terrifying monster.
"Why are you at my house?", Aoba rely frowned, and it frightened Kin into trembling all over. She hurried to explain.
"I… I ca here… under orders from Hokage-sama…"
"Teacher… Oh.", Aoba, after a mont of confusion, suddenly rembered.
This was Orochimaru's beauty trap, and Tsunade had decided to counter it by going along with it.
'Truly hard by wine and lust, my mory has even declined.'
'I need to quit drinking… Wait, I don't drink.'
'Then never mind.'
"Are your injuries healed?", Aoba made small talk.
Kin's face first showed fear, then turned flushed, "Al… already healed."
She hadn't actually been injured. The reason she was hospitalized was because the psychological trauma was too severe.
Aoba realized he'd accidentally triggered her trauma again and didn't say more, turning around and walking back inside.
"Co in first."
"Yes."
Kin quickly tiptoed inside.
Then tiptoed back to close the door gently.
"Who is she?"
Temari and Konan, who were eating breakfast, couldn't help showing unpleasant expressions when they saw Aoba bringing another girl in.
"So… sorry!", Before Aoba could explain anything, Kin started apologizing first.
She bowed repeatedly, almost going full dogeza.
She was here under Orochimaru's orders. If she got kicked out by the "hostess," the best-case scenario was dying in Konoha.
Seeing how pitiful she looked, Temari and Konan were also a bit baffled.
They turned to Aoba with questioning eyes.
Aoba walked over to them and whispered in a voice only they could hear.
Both of them frowned at the sa ti. The way they looked at Kin now was unfriendly.
Setting aside the fact that she was clearly here for Aoba, just the fact that she was associated with Orochimaru was enough to annoy them.
Kin instinctively prepared to dogeza again, but Aoba quickly pulled her up.
"She's actually kind of a victim in this matter and didn't really do anything bad," Aoba said to the two of them.
"You plan to let her move in?", Temari frowned and asked.
Konan didn't say anything. After all, she had only moved in last night herself.
Aoba said helplessly, "If she doesn't move in, Orochimaru might take her for human experints tomorrow."
"Human experints?"
Temari saw Kin's body trembling even harder and couldn't say anything more.
If it were just death, that wasn't a big deal for a ninja. But human experintation, that was far too cruel.
"Have you eaten breakfast yet?", Aoba smiled at Kin, "Be honest."
Looking at the smile on Aoba's face, Kin was so moved she was about to cry. She had thought she was going to be kicked out just now.
If that happened, she would definitely die.
"No… not yet."
"Then sit down and eat with us. I'll go get you so dishes."
Aoba let go of her hand and walked over to the kitchen.
———
"Konan-nee, Temari, I'll leave Kin's situation to you to explain to Yugao-nee and the others."
Aoba still needed to go to the Hokage building. Yugao and Terumi i wouldn't be waking up for a while.
"Mm."
Both nodded, and like proper wives, each helped straighten Aoba's clothes.
Shizune, standing not far away, looked like her eyes were about to burst into flas.
When Aoba greeted her, he acted cold and indifferent.
Even though they had talked last night, seeing these three being so lovey-dovey in person, Shizune still felt quite jealous.
"You little brat, your seduction technique really is honed to perfection," On the road, Tsunade, who had been silent for a long ti, couldn't help but tease him.
"Cough! Cough!"
Aoba let out an awkward cough.
———
They entered the Hokage building.
After Tsunade dumped the work on Aoba, she kicked off her shoes, lay down on the sofa, and went back to sleep.
She would only wake up occasionally to peek at how Aoba was doing.
And just like that, the day passed.
When he got ho after work in the afternoon, Kin had successfully stayed at Aoba's house.
She was basically a little maid at ho now, mainly handling cleaning and chores.
After the collapse of Sunagakure's Konoha invasion plan, and the three-village political marriages, Aoba's life finally returned to normal.
Until three days later, Aoba entered Konoha prison for the first ti.
