To describe Senju Hashirama's state in the morning as "scratching his ears and scratching his head" is not an exaggeration at all.

But you can’t blame him, right?

The cute little girl was standing next to him, supervising him in his work, helping to sort out his documents, and serving him tea and water... everything was so beautiful, except that she refused to talk about personal matters.

But, it doesn’t matter, she respects him.

Moreover, since she is standing here, she undoubtedly cannot run away.

So, he patiently stayed up until noon, but——

"Boss, eating lunch on time is the most basic etiquette for the body."

"..."

OK……

Then let's go have lunch...

So, the big golden hair drooped its ears and tail, followed behind the little black cat, and dejectedly went to the dining floor to have lunch.

Half past twelve noon.

The two returned to Senju Hashirama's office together, and just when the latter suspected that the other party was using some other excuse to excuse herself, she saw her glance at her watch and said with a serious face: "Okay, Hashirama

Brother, according to the company’s regulations, now is our rest time. Let’s… chat?”

She also worked very hard on her mental construction all morning, so... it should be... okay?

"...Oh." Senju Hashirama took a deep breath and stood up. Suddenly he felt a little nervous, but he still asked considerately, "Do I need to go through the process again?"

"Huh?" Uchiha asked in confusion, "What process?" Then she regretted asking this question, because her boss bowed down in front of her again, stretched out a hand, and shouted

——

"Little belt, please date me!"

...Don’t go through this process anymore!

She felt as if she had returned to her junior high school days, when her classmates invited her to confess to herself in the corner of the school building...

Of course, usually, the next day, the students would take a detour when they saw her.

But then again, she is indeed quite familiar with this process, so Uchiha can almost be said to have "recited" his classic lines——

"Thank you for your love, thank you very much. But I'm sorry, I can't agree."

Senju Hashirama: "..."

Uchiha belt: "..."

Senju Hashirama slowly straightened up, raised his hand to scratch his hair, and said with a wry smile: "Well... even though I had some expectations, I was still rejected..."

"...I'm sorry." Ochiha didn't know what to say, so he could only repeat, "I'm sorry."

"Ah, there's no need for this." Senju Hashirama waved his hand, signaling the little girl in front of him not to be too nervous, "It's not wrong to reject others, Hoshi-chan. Rejection is everyone's birthright. You are just legitimate and obedient.

I just exercised my rights with my heart, there is no problem." Although he was disappointed by the rejection, he definitely did not become angry.

"...Hmm." Uchiha didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only remain silent.

After a moment of silence——

"that……"

"I think……"

They both spoke at the same time and paused at the same time.

Senju Hashirama smiled, and then made a "please" gesture: "Ladies first."

"Well..." Uchiha pursed his lips, lowered his head and whispered, "Maybe it's a bit shameless to say this, but... can I still continue to work here?" After all, the time agreed with my brothers is one year.

And it is indeed a pleasure to do this job. However, is it a bit too much to say this even after rejecting Brother Hashirama?

"Of course." Senju Hashirama replied readily and affirmatively, "I couldn't ask for it." He was originally worried about what he would do if someone ran away, but she actually didn't want to run away for the time being. This was really great, she couldn't ask for it.

"...I'm sorry." Uchiha lowered his head and apologized again.

"Why are you apologizing this time?" Senju Hashirama asked patiently.

"Just... I clearly rejected you, Brother Hashirama, and yet shamelessly wanted to stay. This is a legend..." The little girl tilted her head and recalled a word she had heard from her memory, "Keep a spare tire..."

...?"

Senju Hashirama: "..." Wow, little girl, you really dare to say that. You are probably the only one in the world who dares to use me as a spare tire, right? Then, do you want to give me a sweetener? If you give me a sweetener,

I don’t mind being taken care of by you. Anyway, sooner or later I’ll be able to become a full-time employee. And in the process, you won’t have any other backup or real boss.

Thinking of this, he said helplessly: "Little belt, normally, people who do this deliberately would not say it so straightforwardly."

"Sorry..." Uchiha bowed his head again.

"Since just now, you seem to have been apologizing." Senju Hashirama said with a chuckle, "I have already said that there is nothing to apologize for. Although I confessed with the expectation of being accepted, but if in this world,

Every confession will be accepted, so maybe there will be a lot less tragedy?"

Perhaps the probability of not being liked by the person you like is the highest.

"...No, maybe there will be a lot more tragedies." Uchiha Oichi subconsciously thought, "For example, if you confess to Miss Assassin today, the other party agrees; then you confess to Miss Assassin, and she also agrees; and then

Mr. C confessed to Miss A, and she agreed; and then..."

"Okay." Senju Hashirama's head was full of black lines, "Stop manually creating the Shura field, little belt." It sounds like the relationship is so confusing that it's creepy. Is this the plot of some late-night drama? Also,

"I don't want any bitch or bitch, I just want you."

"... I'm sorry." Uchiha wanted to cover his face. Hey, isn't this the shortcoming of having too much imagination exposed? So, what exactly does Brother Hashirama like about her... Ah, ah? She is

Didn't you accidentally apologize again?

"Compared with these," Senju Hashirama realized that he could not continue to let this little girl divert the topic, otherwise they might not get back to the point, so he said decisively, "What I want to know more is, the little belt,

What is your reason for rejecting me?"

"Uh..." Uchiha blinked, "The reason..."

"You don't hate me, right?" Senju Hashirama said with certainty. He still had this awareness and intuition.

"...Yes." Uchiha nodded.

"Then, what's the reason? Well, you're not interested in love at all?"

"Well... you can't say that..."

In fact, it's completely okay to deal with it, but facing the sincere and focused eyes of the person in front of her, Uchiha Oiko felt that if she didn't tell the truth, she would have a bit of conscience. She liked Hashirama brother, although it was not in the sense of love.

That kind of thing, but if possible, she really wants to maintain a good relationship with him. For this reason, it is necessary to explain clearly——

"Actually, when I watch novels, anime, and TV shows... I still feel a little bit longing..." She hesitated but said honestly, "Actually, in the past, when someone confessed to me, although I would reject it at the first time, I would also wonder if it would be possible.

Someone can overcome the obstacles of my brothers and confess to me for the second time. If this is the case, it is not impossible to get along with each other for a while and get to know each other."

But, so far, there is none.

I don't mean to blame my brother. Rather, I would say that the brothers are like overly powerful firewalls. I don't mean to blame the other party either, because it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

"In this sense, Brother Hashirama, you are amazing."

This person crossed all obstacles and stood in front of her.

"But, I can't do it just because of this..."

Senju Hashirama couldn't help laughing: "Your brothers are amazing. Let's go back to the topic itself." Even if he was rejected, he was not too disappointed or impatient. He just communicated with the person in front of him seriously and looked for the next step.

The breakthrough point is, "In other words, you don't completely reject love, and you don't hate me, but at this stage, your emotional foundation for me is not enough for you to accept my confession. It can be understood this way

?”

The Uchiha thought seriously for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Yes." Don't be too hasty, otherwise, it will be disrespectful to the person in front of you. I don't want to waste time and want to give more time to my brothers...

...In the final analysis, maybe they are all excuses. The most fundamental reason may be like what Brother Hashirama said at this moment——

Don't like it enough.

...Brother Hashirama is really a very perceptive person.

Horribly sharp.

"So, do you want to try to get to know me better?" Senju Hashirama said as he smiled and stretched out a hand towards the person in front of him, "In other words, can I pursue you next? Little belt

."

"……Why?"

"I like you and want to date you. At the same time, I also respect your thoughts at the moment. However, I don't want to give up, so I want to pursue you in the next time." Senju Hashirama said calmly,

"Is that okay? Little belt."

"...Can I refuse?"

"no."

This time, Senju Hashirama is not so easy to talk to - he has already taken a big step back. In order to reciprocate courtesy, the little belt should be taken back to some extent~
