Aoba naturally took in all of Otsutsuki Kaguya's reactions.
For a mont, he felt like laughing, but also felt that if he laughed now, it wouldn't be very appropriate.
'Wouldn't that hurt this Rabbit Goddess too much?'
"Ahem! Anyway, let's sit down first. What do you want to hear? I'll tell you slowly."
Aoba restrained the smile on his face and pointed at the chair beside him as he spoke.
"Alright."
Although Otsutsuki Kaguya still felt a bit warm in the face, she still sat down on the chair.
Aoba then sat across from her.
Just as he had said before, this ti he really spent much longer with her than last ti.
Last ti, because he had to accompany Hinata, he only chatted briefly with Otsutsuki Kaguya. This ti, with nothing much to do, they ended up talking for several hours straight.
Even the snacks on the table had already been replaced several tis without them noticing.
For Aoba, materializing so snacks was nothing at all.
And every ti the snacks were finished, Otsutsuki Kaguya wouldn't say anything. She would just sit there and stare straight at him.
That kind of gaze gave Aoba a strange feeling.
'So well-behaved and quiet, just like Hinata.'
'Even the appetite is the sa.'
Watching Otsutsuki Kaguya take a bite of chips and then a sip of juice, Aoba even started to worry whether she might turn into a shut-in in the future.
'As a mber of the Otsutsuki clan, she shouldn't get fat just from eating too many snacks, right?'
Aoba felt a bit puzzled.
'With Hinata's appetite being so big, could it be so kind of atavism?'
However, this ti Otsutsuki Kaguya wasn't only listening and eating snacks. She also told Aoba a bit about things from a thousand years ago.
For example, so matters about the two children who had grown out of the tree.
Although she didn't have as good a way with words as Aoba, treated as little historical stories, they were quite interesting.
But the two of them couldn't keep chatting like this forever. Aoba would eventually have to leave.
"You're leaving again?", Seeing Aoba stand up, Otsutsuki Kaguya imdiately understood his intention to leave and also stood up.
"Yeah. As both a daimyo and the Hokage, there are still quite a few things I need to handle."
Aoba smiled helplessly, "But…"
As he spoke, he moved his thoughts again.
Two large cabinets appeared in the empty sealing space.
Imdiately after, one cabinet filled up with all kinds of snacks and drinks, while the other was packed with all kinds of novels and illustrated books.
He had co prepared this ti.
However, he himself didn't know much about the various novels and illustrated books in the ninja world.
So he had even gone to consult Yakumo and Sakura for reference.
These were all things the two of them liked to read, with all kinds of genres and thes. Presumably, this Rabbit Goddess would also like them.
Sure enough. When Otsutsuki Kaguya saw so many novels and snacks, her originally cold eyes couldn't help but brighten slightly.
"These should be enough for you to pass the ti for a while."
Seeing that she seed to like them, Aoba also felt quite satisfied.
"Mhm…"
Otsutsuki Kaguya nodded, a bit happy.
Aoba smiled at that, "But this is only temporary. Once I finish handling the things at hand, I'll think of a way to help you break the seal."
"Hmm?"
Otsutsuki Kaguya froze slightly, feeling a bit stunned by what Aoba had just said, even thinking she might have misheard while distracted.
But Aoba's body had already begun to gradually disappear.
"In that case, I'll be going first. See you next ti."
"Wa-wait!"
Otsutsuki Kaguya clearly wanted to stop him.
But she was a step too late.
Aoba had already left.
"…"
Otsutsuki Kaguya stared blankly at the place where Aoba had disappeared.
Her lips were slightly parted, clearly having sothing she wanted to say, but only she remained there now.
It wasn't until quite a while later that she slowly ca back to her senses.
Yet her expression was still sowhat dazed, her eyes carrying a kind of confusion about the future.
She sat back down on the chair, and the hand that had been supporting her head absentmindedly tugged at her own hair.
Aoba said he would find a way to let her out. Of course she wanted to go out too.
But he clearly didn't know why she had been sealed in the first place.
'If he knew, would he really still be willing to let out?'
'Will he start to hate ?'
'And then, like those two children, be afraid of ?'
At the thought that one day, when Aoba ca in again, the warm smile on his face might suddenly turn into the sa fear and disgust those two children had... A sour feeling rose up from her stomach, and even her heart felt a little uncomfortable along with it.
'What exactly is this feeling?'
She didn't understand why she would feel this way.
'We have only t twice…'
But he was the only person in a thousand years who could enter the sealing space and talk with her.
He had also brought trendous change to her originally dull sealed life.
Whether it was those interesting stories, the novels he brought, or these snacks.
And now he even wanted to help her leave this seal…
Otsutsuki Kaguya felt like he was a vortex, making her want to explore him.
But now that Aoba wasn't here, after struggling with her thoughts for a while, she simply went to the bookshelf and started searching.
She wanted to find the next volu of the novel she had been reading earlier.
There was no need to sleep in the sealing space at all, so she had already finished that novel long ago.
But she couldn't use her abilities like Aoba, an outsider, could.
So she could only reread it again.
It even gave her a feeling like waiting for updates.
Now that there were new novels, she definitely had to carefully look for the next volu.
And maybe, just maybe, she could find the answer she wanted in the books.
