So, so say...

How did Tobirama-sama feel when he took the flower...

Through the words of the person in front of her, the girl suddenly realized that she seemed to have done something extremely stupid. This feeling made her subconsciously raise her hand, cover her red cheeks, and let out a "woo——" similar to that of a small animal.

"Wail.

"Pfft!" Senju Hashirama couldn't help but laugh. He just thought that she was shy because of the lei, so he grabbed the lei with one hand and patted the little girl's arm with the other hand, comforting and saying, "It's okay, Hoshi-chan, whoever doesn't know has nothing to do with it."

crime."

He knew that she just simply wanted to send flowers, and she didn’t have any messy thoughts. Moreover, it was too early for her to do that kind of thing - thinking of this, he suddenly realized, No,

She has grown up, but at first glance, her appearance is too childish and her words and deeds are too innocent, so he often forgets this accidentally.

"...Really?" The girl secretly opened her fingers a little, looked down at the person's eyes and expression, as if she wanted to confirm whether this was the truth.

"Of course." Senju Hashirama replied seriously.

After looking at it carefully for a moment, she let out a long sigh of relief, then put down her hands, showed her still red face, and said in a low voice: "Sorry, Lord Hashirama, I will pay attention next time.

"

"It's not your fault." Senju Hashirama shook his head, "It's Tobirama's problem. He didn't inform you of this in advance."

Girl: "..."

She thought: It’s better not to blame Tobirama-sama? He had already received his “revenge”. The reason why he didn’t explain anything at that time was, after all, because he was afraid of embarrassing her, right? Although he looked a little cold at first glance, but

, Tobirama-sama is actually as gentle as Hashirama-sama.

"Speaking of which," in order to prevent the girl from continuing to be embarrassed, Senju Hashirama raised his hand and put the garland on her head, tilted his head to admire her cute appearance at the moment, and naturally changed the topic, "I

How long have you been asleep?"

"It didn't take long." The girl wearing a wreath on her head lowered her head and replied with a smile, "Just over an hour."

"Really..." Senju Hashirama nodded, and then he stared at the still blue sky, thinking on the one hand "It's time for me to get up", and on the other hand "Hey, I feel so comfortable now, I really don't want to"

"Move", so he fell into a tangle. At the same time, he felt slightly that the girl decorated with flowers in front of him was a bit like a little goddess trying to drive away the cold winter and bring the warmth of spring to the world...

"Lord Hashirama."

"Um?"

"what's on your mind?"

"I was thinking..." Senju Hashirama, who was still struggling, said casually to Hu Zou, "Did anyone approach me while I was sleeping?"

"Did you feel it?" the girl replied, "But I used the 'coughing technique' taught by Tobirama-sama to make them retreat~ Speaking of which, Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sama came here when they were young, right?

?”

"Yes, I've been here before." Senju Hashirama thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "Hoshi-chan, do you want to know? Tobirama and I came here on a mission when we were young."

"Is that okay?" The girl suddenly showed an interested expression, but hesitated a little, "Don't you need to keep the employer's secret?"

"The employer has passed away. According to the contract we signed with him, the confidentiality agreement was officially terminated from the moment he died." Senju Hashirama explained - after all, the essence of this task is

The "love affair" of a nobleman when he was young was not kept secret at a very high level. Of course, he did strictly follow the contract. He didn't say a word before the other party died, and after the other party died, he didn't open up until now.

Mouth.

"Then listen!" the girl said as she actually took out a pack of roasted peanuts from her sleeve.

Senju Hashirama didn't expect that she actually carried these with her. The peanuts were roasted by the two of them sitting around the fire some time ago. He clearly remembered that he also threw a few oranges on the charcoal fire.

, the aroma of roasted orange peel fills the air, full of the warm fragrance unique to winter.

The girl looked down at Senju Hashirama, seemingly misunderstanding his expression, and asked: "Do you want to eat, Hashirama-sama?"

"……want."

She then peeled off a peanut and handed the kernel inside to him.

"Hoshi-chan, I can do it myself."

"But it's not convenient to peel it when you're lying down, right?" She took his big hand and stuffed the peanut kernels inside, "It's not troublesome anyway, Hashirama-sama, just be responsible for eating it~"

He then smiled and stuffed a peanut into his mouth. The next second, his mouth was filled with the aroma of dried peanuts. He thought, well, it tastes delicious. Let's bake some more in a few days.

So while eating peanuts, he recounted what happened more than 20 years ago. Of course, he omitted some embarrassing things that might affect his reputation. At the same time, he emphasized that his younger brother was "being raped by his aunt."

Embarrassing thing about "they teased".

...I can only say that he is truly a brother of the Senju family.

Senju Hashirama was good at talking, so he told Hana a simple task. The little girl was stunned for a moment and almost forgot to eat peanuts. However, he did not forget to keep telling stories.

Man peels the shell.

The last and the last...

While chewing the crispy peanuts, Senju Hashirama asked the question that he had asked his brother a few years ago: "Does Hoshi-chan think the woman named 'Len' has really let go of her past relationship?"

?”

After thinking for a while, she answered uncertainly: "No?"

"Huh? How do you say it?"

"If you really forget that person, you won't stick to the promise you made when you were young, right?" She replied while thinking, "And, in the end, she was still mentioning the topic of compromise and concession to you, maybe...

...She must have been thinking about this for so many years."

"Soga..." Senju Hashirama was silent for a moment, and replied with a chuckle, "It sounds like it is somewhat possible." The nobleman who was still thinking about this matter even before his death, and the woman who had been keeping those dried flowers close to her body

...? It's a matter of love and a regret, but it does have its beauty.

The girl raised her hand and scratched her cheek, and said softly: "Anyway, I feel that if you really like someone, you won't forget it so easily. If she really comes out of that relationship, she won't forget it so easily."

Keep those flowers close to your body. Normally, once you fall in love with someone else, you won’t keep the lover’s related items with you, right?”

"It makes sense." Senju Hashirama nodded thoughtfully, and then commented, "Hoshi-chan sounds like a dedicated and stubborn type." But once you fall in love with someone exclusively, it will be difficult.

Type of vacillation.

"Really..." The girl tilted her head in confusion, "Does this mean a good thing or a bad thing?"

Senju Hashirama gave a thumbs up and gave a positive comment: "She is 100% a good woman!" At the same time, he thought that today's Hoshi-chan is said to be the most noble and beautiful "Flower of the High Mountains" in Konoha.

It's too much, I just don't know which lucky person will be able to pick it up in the future.

If he is lucky enough to see this scene...

Well, I won’t agree easily!

The same must be true for Tobirama.

After all, Hoshi-chan is so well-behaved, cute, gentle, considerate and... (omit a hundred words here), how could she be abducted home by some brat so easily?

Thinking of this, Senju Hashirama subconsciously thought of the Uchiha mirror, so he asked tentatively: "Speaking of it, Hoshi-chan, how do you look at the mirror?" As far as he knew, Tobirama was a disciple, and she and the mirror were closest,

The relationship is also very good.

Kagami is a good boy. There is nothing to fault in terms of appearance, conduct, strength or other aspects. The biggest problem is that he is from Uchiha, but on the other hand, it is not a bad thing.

"Jingjun?" The girl tilted her head and replied, "He is very good."

"This is good, how good is it?"

"How good...is it?" The girl tilted her head again, thought for a moment, and replied, "Hmm--a little worse than Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sama?"

Senju Hashirama: "..." There's no comparison in this, right? On one side are elders who are ten or twenty years apart, and on the other side are peers with promising prospects. However, he can also see from this conversation that the girl is currently facing a challenge.

The boy who is the "mirror" doesn't mean that. He simply regards the other person as a friend whom he likes very much and is willing to contact.

Thinking about it, how could she think about this so easily when she was like a blank piece of paper?

When he realized this, Senju Hashirama himself couldn't tell whether he should feel relieved or regretful. However, as he had always thought, he hoped that she could be there no matter when and where.

Make your own decision——

Make the right decision that she won't regret in the future.

Thinking of this, Senju Hashirama suddenly didn't want to lie down anymore, so he sat up with all his strength. As a result, he felt dizzy because of the sudden excessive exertion...

The big golden retriever's eyes were filled with stars: dizzy...dizzy...dizzy...

The little black cat quickly held him up.

"Hashirama-sama, are you okay?" the girl asked nervously.

"...It's okay." Senju Hashirama shook his head, "I just used too much force when I got up." As he said this, he gathered the robes belonging to the two of them with his hands and hung them tightly on his arms.

Then he stood up and stretched out a hand towards the girl who was still kneeling on the ground, "Come on, Hoshi-chan, let's take a walk for a while and then go back."

"Yeah." The girl smiled and nodded, then grabbed his hand and tried to stand up, but fell down the next second.

"...Hoshi-chan?" This time, the person with a nervous expression was Senju Hashirama, "What's wrong with you?"

"My legs... are numb..." The girl touched her legs back and forth and answered honestly.

Senju Hashirama: "..." It's his fault... It's strange that her legs don't feel numb after being on his pillow for so long. Not to mention, when he fell asleep, she must have moved because she didn't want to disturb anyone.

He didn't dare to move. Hey, even when the ninja was on duty, he was not so conscientious. Thinking of this, he leaned down slightly, opened his arms and hugged the girl with the wreath on her head on the ground like a princess.

I stood up and weighed it a little - well, it's really light, hardly heavier than a flower.

"Huh???" the girl showed a surprised expression, "Hashira, Lord Hashirama? What are you..."

"It takes a long time to recover from leg numbness." Senju Hashirama said with a chuckle, "But, Hoshi-chan, I don't want to wait now, I just want to walk away right away. So I have to wrong you and use this attitude.

Stay with me."

"...No, there is no grievance." She replied somewhat speechlessly, "It's just that Hashirama-sama's body can hold me and walk like this, is it really okay?"

Senju Hashirama: "..." He thought with a sad face - it seems that he really needs to improve his health as soon as possible. Even if the outcome is irreversible, at least it must appear to be fine on the surface. Look, in Hoshi-chan's heart,

What a weak image he already has?
