A day and a night passed.
It was already midday.
Even though you cannot see the sun in the Hidden Rain Village, it was indeed midday.
"Hss!"
Konan woke up in a daze, then instantly sucked in a sharp breath. Her previously foggy brain cleared all at once.
Uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable. In every possible sense.
It felt like her entire body was about to fall apart, and there was a bit of swelling.
Especially her stomach, which still felt a little numb right now.
It had been a long ti since she last felt this way. The last ti was when Aoba returned after staying in Roran for three years.
Only, this feeling seed slightly different from before.
"Konan-nee, are you uncomfortable?"
Right after, she heard the boy's concerned voice.
Konan looked at Aoba standing by the bed, who had no idea when he had woken up, or when he had already washed up, and her anger surged instantly.
She bared her teeth and leapt up, reaching out to pinch his cheek.
But the mont she exerted strength, she clutched her lower abdon and bent down again.
Seeing this, Aoba quickly reached out to hold her and lay her back on the bed, then gently massaged her lower belly.
"Does it hurt a lot?"
"It doesn't really hurt, it just feels a little strange."
Konan frowned, but when she saw his face so close, she reached out and pinched him again, annoyed, "Did you sneak out to take so dicine last night?"
Her small hands were soft and weak, almost like she was acting spoiled.
"I didn't. My body just got a bit stronger."
Aoba felt a little embarrassed, but quickly spoke in a lightly scolding tone, "Konan-nee, if you can't keep going you should tell . What if sothing happens to your body?"
Konan looked at him with so grievance, "You're the one who kept going like that. I couldn't just watch you suffer, could I?"
'Actually, I could have gone to find Yugao and Shizune.'
Aoba really wanted to say that, but if he said it out loud, the big sister in his arms would probably get even angrier.
"It might be like this often from now on."
The enhancent brought by the Sage Body was a bit terrifying. The extre Yang Release made him almost unable to feel fatigue.
"Wh… what?", Konan swallowed hard. A flash of fear crossed her beautiful face.
In the future, maybe Shizune and Konan should be called over together.
Aoba's body had gotten even stronger. Konan felt she really might not be able to handle it.
"Anyway, just rest well today."
Aoba said, then suddenly picked Konan up again, "Breakfast is already ready. Does Konan-nee want to bathe first, or eat first?"
"Better bathe first."
Konan felt sticky and uncomfortable, so a bath sounded better.
"Okay!"
Aoba didn't say anything more and carried her straight to the bathroom.
"Hm?"
Being carried made Konan montarily confused, "What are you doing?"
Aoba's expression was calm, "Of course I'm helping Konan-nee bathe."
But last night's mory washed over her again, making Konan swallow nervously.
"Aoba, I'm definitely not okay today."
"Konan-nee, I'm only helping you bathe."
Aoba sounded helpless, "Your body isn't in good shape right now. What if you hurt yourself while bathing?"
Konan was speechless. She was a Jonin after all. Even though her muscles were sore, how could she possibly get hurt just taking a bath?
But since Aoba insisted, she did not resist too much. She just frowned and said:
"Then promise , when I'm bathing, you're not allowed to suddenly co in!"
"I know, I won't."

[One Hour Later]
Breakfast beca lunch.
Konan ate while glaring at a certain troubleso little brother.
Although he indeed did not enter the bathroom, her mouth and wrists felt sore now.
She hadn't even noticed the slight change in her body.
"Konan-nee is so beautiful. It's only natural," Aoba said awkwardly.
He didn't want things to end up like that either, but sotis the big head was hard to control every part of the body.
"Hmph!"
Konan snorted lightly and said with displeasure, "After you finish eating, let's go back to the Leaf."
"Huh? I finally ca all this way. Don't you want to look around a bit more?", Aoba asked.
"Forget it."
Konan looked helpless, "We've already gone to all the places worth going, and I'm worried we'll et another girl like Ajisai."
She said that, but her real aim was to make Yugao and Shizune suffer a bit too.
She had endured so much already. How could she let them escape?
"Alright. Should we tell him?"
"No need. I'll leave him a letter later."
"Okay."
Aoba did not say more.
After lunch, Konan folded her farewell letter into a thousand paper crane and sent it flying, then returned with Aoba to the Senju compound.
———
They had also just finished lunch there, and Yugito, who was cleaning the dishes, froze in place.
She had been angered by Samui and Mabui yesterday, so she had not gone to find them today.
"Didn't you say you'd be back tomorrow?"
"Things wrapped up quickly, so we ca back early."
Aoba smiled, "Just in ti. After you finish cleaning, we can go on our date."
"This…", Yugito hesitated, "But I haven't finished planning yet."
"With dates, lack of planning is what makes it surprising."
"Alright."
Yugito agreed, though what she was thinking about had nothing to do with the plan.
"I'll go back to my room to rest."
Konan yawned, refused Aoba's help, and walked back to her room while holding the wall with one hand.
Uzuki Yugao looked surprised, "Konan is hurt?"
"No. Things just got a little out of hand yesterday," Aoba looked embarrassed.
Yugao thought for a mont, then stood up and headed toward Konan's room.
She needed to ask what happened.
Yugito was still in shock.
Even Konan had ended up like that. Wouldn't she beco an idiot?
Aoba looked her way and smiled, "Shall we head out now?"
Yugito snapped out of it. Thinking of her earlier thoughts made her blush.
"I'll go change my clothes."
After saying this, she ran off in a panic, not even taking off her apron.
"Lord Aoba…"
Only now did Kin walk over. She had not expected Lord Aoba to take Yugito out on a date alone. Her voice sounded a little hurt.
Aoba patted her head, "Sorry, Kin."
"Then… is there compensation?"
Aoba: "…"
'Who set Kin to this mode?'
"Turn around."
———
[Yugito's Room]
She was fixing her dress in front of the mirror, the blue skirt draping over her round calves wrapped in white stockings.
She had not dressed up too carefully on the outside.
Her inner strength was the key to winning today.
