There was a slightly awkward silence...

The paper partition door of the private room was opened, and the waiter brought up the dishes ordered by the three people. Because the atmosphere in the room was indeed a bit solemn, they who originally planned to introduce one or two did not dare to speak, and only silently delivered the dishes.

He decisively "retreated".

"Wow..." The girl opened the lid of the soup cup in front of her with a look of joy, and took a deep breath, "It smells so good..." Then, she put down the lid, clasped her hands together, "Then I'm welcome! I'll start.

Got it!"

Senju Hashirama: "..."

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "..."

At this moment, the cruel reality told them what a European emperor was and what a non-chief was. However, the little girl was obviously very greedy but the way she carefully drank the soup because she was afraid of being burned was indeed cute, so the two of them looked at each other with their eyes.

He couldn't help but smile.

"How is it?" Senju Hashirama asked with a smile, "Hoshi-chan, does it taste good?"

"Yeah." The girl nodded seriously, and then said, "Hashirama-sama, Tobirama-sama, you guys also drink. You don't have to take the joke just now seriously."

"No." Qianju Tobijian replied, "You have to keep your word." The "junior" here, how could he, the elder, go back on his word? This is not conducive to education and guidance.

Senju Hashirama, who was also a little greedy, silently looked at the sky: Tobirama, this guy is really too serious sometimes...

The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then clapped her palms, grabbed the dice on the table, and said, "Let's play another round. Whoever loses will get the soup."

During her movements, she exuded "the confidence of an European emperor" from every part of her body.

Senju Tobirama: "..." He wanted to say "Children should not be addicted to gambling", but considering the "experience" just now, he didn't want to say anything. When a person's gambling luck is so good, it feels like even

It’s okay to indulge a little bit, at least, you won’t suffer any loss.

And at this moment, Senju Hashirama felt from the bottom of his heart that he seemed to be envious of someone... If this luck were to be placed on him, tsk tsk tsk... So, if he took Hoshi-chan to visit a gambling house, who knows what he would be like

What a scene.

As he thought about it, his eyes lit up and he immediately wanted to slap the table: How wonderful!

Senju Tobirama, who knew him too well, immediately said: "Brother, don't think about it." He would not just watch this cute and cute girl being abducted by his elder brother to the casino. Good children should not go to that kind of place. Thinking of it.

Furthermore, he added, "If you dare to do this, from today on, you will have no pocket money, not even a penny, and no one in your family will lend it to you." If he doesn't allow it, who dares?

"...Tobirama, are you a devil?" Senju Hashirama felt that he could still fight for it, "Then at least, my salary as Hokage must be given to me, right?"

Senju Tobirama smiled at him: "Brother, even if you remain Hokage for ten more years, you still won't be able to pay back the money I spent to redeem you all these years."

"..."

Senju Hashirama, who was completely "defeated", had no choice but to drink the soup in humiliation.

The corner of Qianju Tobirama's mouth curled up, as if he found this kind of thing very interesting.

The little girl held the soup bowl, looked left and right, then lowered her head and continued to drink the soup.

After lunch.

Senju Tobirama asked his eldest brother: "Brother, are you going back with me, or?"

After Senju Hashirama hesitated for a moment, he still showed a slightly apologetic expression: "Sorry, Tobirama, I may need to go home and rest for a while."

Since the serious injury, during the period of his training, he has been suffering from pain every minute whether he is awake or sleeping, but this is normal for ninjas. As a very good ninja, he has great skills in this regard.

His tolerance is also far beyond ordinary people. Therefore, the reason why he chooses to go back now is because his energy is indeed not enough to support him to continue sitting in the Hokage's office for an afternoon.

He thought with some bitterness: If the Hokage suddenly fainted in the Hokage's office, wouldn't it cause panic?

Senju Tobirama, who knew his eldest brother's body best, was relieved when he saw that the former did not hold on. He nodded and said: "Okay, Hoshi, I'll trouble you to send your eldest brother back."

"Don't worry, Tobirama-sama." The girl nodded vigorously and said seriously, "I will send Hashirama-sama back safely, and then stay with him until you come back."

"Yeah." Senju Tobirama smiled, "Then leave it to you, Hoshi." At this stage, there may indeed be no more reliable person than her in the entire Konoha, even if... Uchiha Madara comes back from the dead.

If she does it again, she will be able to compare with it.

So, the three of them parted ways at the entrance of the store - although each of them must be followed by ANBU, the meaning of ANBU's existence is that "it can be ignored when counting heads".

Senju Hashirama walked slowly on Konoha's shoulder, and the little girl followed him obediently. As she walked, she was keenly aware of something, and nuzzled closer to the former.

"Hmm?" Senju Hashirama looked sideways at her and asked with a smile, "What? Hoshi-chan, do you want me to hold your hand?" As he said this, he stretched out his generous hand towards her.

Big hand, "Come."

"..." The girl blinked, but did not hold the hand. Instead, she opened her arms and hugged his arm.

Senju Hashirama was a little confused: "...Hoshi-chan?"

After looking around, the girl covered her mouth and whispered: "Master Hashirama, if you really feel uncomfortable, it's okay to lean against me."

Senju Hashirama: "..." Oh, I see, this kid discovered that he was actually really uncomfortable right now and was even having a hard time walking...

Hey, so, how fragile is he now? He actually needs such a young child to worry about him.

but……

The moment the girl put her shoulders against him, trying to support his body, Senju Hashirama felt like he saw a strong young tree trying to support an old tree...

At the same time, I seem to be able to feel the vigorous and endless vitality of the little tree. I really want it... I really want to absorb it... I really want to plunder it...

He suddenly came back to his senses and immediately shook his head: No, this is a dangerous and wrong idea.

"?" The girl tilted her head and looked at him.

"...No, it's nothing." Senju Hashirama smiled as always and shook his head.

Soon after, the two returned home.

The ANBU Senju Tobirama sent to buy desserts also brought the red bean cake for the girl to eat in the afternoon in accordance with his previous agreement. After all, he is a man of his word. Once he has made a promise, he must keep it.

arrive.

The ANBU silently watched the smile that suddenly bloomed on the girl's face and thought: I understand. When I get back, I have to say to Tobirama-sama, "Hoshi-sama is very happy and smiles brightly." This way, this mission can get an S-level rating.

.

Senju Hashirama, who put on his home kimono and sat on the bed, thought: Ah, ah? Is Tobirama so good at making little girls happy?

But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be no problem since all of your children like your younger brother Tobirama very much. After all, compared to his biological father, Tobirama, as the second uncle, is sometimes much more reliable.

Thanks to Tobirama's presence these years, otherwise...

"Hashirama-sama, do you want to eat red bean cake?"

The little black cat held the red bean cake and came close to the big golden retriever. He generously wanted to share his favorite snack with this "big friend".

Senju Hashirama smiled and shook his head: "No, Hoshi-chan, you can eat it yourself."

"Oh, Hashirama-sama, do you want to take a short rest?"

Senju Hashirama thought for a while and nodded: "Okay." Then he saw the girl stretching out her hand to help him lie down. He suddenly felt helpless, "Hoshi-chan, I'm not weak enough yet." Just lie down.

It’s just a matter of time, he can still do it on his own.

The girl blinked and said nothing. After the person lay down, she stretched out her hand and carefully arranged the corner of the quilt for him, and asked in a low voice: "Master Hashirama, do you feel uncomfortable having your hair pressed down? Do you need me to help you smooth it?"

Get up?"

Senju Hashirama, who had already closed his eyes, moved his head slightly, and felt a gentle and warm hand, stained with the scent of red bean cake, gently stroke his long, smooth hair onto the pillow, and then, this

One hand helped him slightly adjust the quilt under his neck.

Then, the scent left.

The girl seemed to stand up.

...Are you leaving?

Senju Hashirama subconsciously raised his ears to catch the slight footsteps. He only heard her walking to the door and gently closing the paper partition door. Then she walked to the window and closed the window.

There is a seam left.

The autumn afternoon sunshine is isolated from the outside.

The room suddenly became dark.

She squatted in a corner of the room and lit the sleeping incense Qianju Feijian prepared for her eldest brother.

Smoke rises and fragrance spreads.

Senju Hashirama, who was already a little tired, fell into a trance soon. He vaguely noticed that after the girl finished doing all this, she knelt down and sat back beside him, and then opened the red bean cake gently.

out of the box, and began to eat the pastry carefully while holding the pastry with both hands, while staring at himself without blinking.

This scene made him want to laugh uncontrollably, so he unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and then fell into sleep. I don't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to smell the smell of red bean cake in his dream.

When I woke up, it was already evening.

Senju Hashirama opened his eyes drowsily, and realized with a slightly slow thinking that he seemed to have not slept for so long, so that when he woke up, he felt a little weak all over. He turned his head and saw

The girl was still sitting on her knees beside the bed, looking at herself unblinkingly, as if she hadn't moved at all in the past few hours. However, the red bean cake box next to her was empty, but there was still a little bit of dregs left on the corners of her mouth and clothes.

.

He then laughed again, and while smiling, he raised his hand, gently wiped away the snack residue from the corner of her mouth, and said in a slightly lazy and hoarse voice: "Xing-chan is a greedy little cat~"

"..." The girl wiped the other corner of her mouth with some embarrassment and defended, "This, this was an accident." The nurse was too focused so she forgot to wipe her mouth, huh!

Senju Hashirama stroked her warm and tender cheeks while wiping her mouth, and said with a bit of evil intentions: "If you admit that you are a greedy little cat, I will buy red bean cake for you to eat."

"!!!"

"Hoshi-chan, how are you?"

"...Hashirama-sama," the girl looked down at the person and asked uncertainly, "Are you bullying me?"

"Yes." Senju Hashirama replied seriously, "I'm just bullying you."

"...Then can I complain to Tobirama-sama?"

"……Can't."

"Then," the little black cat pulled off the dog's paw from his face and spread his cat's paw towards the big golden retriever on the bed, "Give me the red bean cake and I won't say anything."
