In the evening after get off work.

The two took the elevator downstairs together as before.

Ochiha Uchiha suddenly remembered what happened when he went to work in the morning, and said with a depressed heart: "Speaking of which, other people look at me strangely now..."

"Huh?" Senju Hashirama's eyes sharpened for a moment, and then he asked in a gentle tone, "What's wrong? Someone made you angry?"

"No..." Although Ochiha Uchiha was indeed not very happy, she felt that this was not a problem of people "provoking" her, but a problem of atmosphere, so she explained a little and concluded, "

Anyway, it feels like everyone is taking the initiative to stay away from me and actively creating barriers."

"Well..."

"Um?"

"No, I'm just wondering whether I should tell you the truth or tell a little lie to comfort you."

"..." After Uchiha was speechless for a moment, he took out the scoring board from his bag, raised it and warned seriously, "If you lie, you will get 0 points!" After all, she hates others lying to her the most.

"Surrender!" Senju Hashirama raised his hands very decisively and "give in", and then told the truth, "This kind of thing is inevitable, after all, you can't hide your identity for the rest of your life. And, to be realistic,

The reason why you come here is not to make friends, right? Unless you are willing to stay at the bottom all your life, otherwise, as you move forward, this is a normal thing." Every time you take a step forward, you will

When you get to know some new people who are in the same class, it is natural that the acquaintances who cannot keep up with the pace will gradually drift away. Although it may be a little cold-blooded to say this, life is indeed a process of constant loss and abandonment. Of course, in turn, the reverse

To put it bluntly, it is also a process of constant acquaintance and acquisition.

"...Same." Ochiha Uchiha sighed slightly, "Brother Izuna also reminded me that there is a rule in society - you can be colleagues with friends, but it is best not to be friends with colleagues."

"It makes sense. People who get acquainted with certain interests can easily fall out because of the interests." Senju Hashirama nodded with a smile, "Okay, don't be sad, um, otherwise, I'll treat you to something to eat tonight.

Okay."

"Well..." Uchiha nodded subconsciously, and then looked at the person sideways, "When did I say that I would eat with you tonight? I just said that I have time, I have time!"

"So," Senju Hashirama bowed slightly and showed the knight's salute, "Miss Obito, are you free tonight?"

Uchiha raised his chin with his belt: "It depends on your mood."

"Then what should I think about it?"

"When the elevator stops, if you can make me laugh, we will have dinner together."

"That's it..." Senju Hashirama rubbed his chin, "Yes!" Then, he chuckled at the little girl beside him who couldn't hide his curious eyes, "But, little boy, you have to promise not to behave like me.

Give it a low score, otherwise, I won’t dare to make you laugh.”

"...Then will you do anything rude?"

"If I did something rude to you, would you laugh?"

"Of course not!"

"Isn't this enough?"

"Then...okay..." After Uchiha hesitated for a moment, he finally nodded obediently.

Senju Hashirama thought: Well, he is indeed a member of the Uchiha clan. He is naturally unable to restrain his curiosity~ This is a weakness that can be exploited repeatedly.

So, the black-minded old man said seriously: "You know? Little belt, it's actually very easy to make someone laugh, because some actions themselves are easy to make people laugh. For example, like this-" He said this

As he said this, he raised his hands and said, "Come and learn from me."

"...Is this so?" Uchiha raised his hands together.

"Do you need me to carry your bag?" Senju Hashirama looked at the small bag in her right hand and asked considerately.

"No need, it's not heavy." She shook her head, thinking that it didn't matter even if she was holding a huge stone in her hand.

"Okay, straighten your arms a little further, yes, and lift them up again." Senju Hashirama encouraged him very professionally, "Okay, now take a deep breath, inhale, inhale, inhale -" he said while saying

As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers and gently scratched a certain little girl's armpit firmly and firmly.

"Pfft——" Uchiha immediately laughed out loud.

"Look, you're laughing!" Senju Hashirama clapped his hands, "Yoshi, let's have dinner together tonight!"

"...Disgusting!" The little girl who realized that she had been tricked couldn't help but laugh because of her physical reaction and raised her hand to hit someone with some annoyance, "Liar, liar, liar!" Of course, the force was very light, because she was hitting people seriously.

People, the people in front of me may need to eat in the intensive care unit... no, need oxygen.

Senju Hashirama dodged and dodged very cooperatively and "wailed": "Wrong... wrong..."

"You'll have the guts next time, right?" Uchiha said with a smile on his face - hum! She finally understood what this person meant by not giving points. Be brave enough to admit your mistakes and never regret it!

"Well..." Senju Hashirama smiled and did not answer, but asked, "What would Hoshi-chan want to eat tonight?"

"Hmm..." Ochiha Ochi thought for a while, "It's a bit cold today, so I want to eat something sweet, slightly spicy and warm."

——Question: So, what should we eat?

"Then, let's go eat curry." Senju Hashirama quickly gave the correct answer, "I know a ten-year-old shop run by an old couple. It's small, but the taste is very good. Do you want to go and try it together?

"

"It's been so long..." Uchiha said in wonder, after all, there is only one "ten years" in life, right?

"Yes, I have been running the business since I was in my twenties until I am now a teenager." Senju Hashirama said with a little emotion, "The reason why I started the business at first was because the old lady liked to eat curry, and my grandfather went to study for her, so in the end

The couple simply opened a shop together, and since it has been open for so many years, the nearby residents are basically their regular customers. However, because their descendants have no interest in running a curry shop, maybe next year, or tomorrow, it will

It will be closed."

"...It's a bit of a pity." Uchiha Ochi said with emotion, "But after all, descendants have their own ideas and ambitions, and there is nothing we can do about it." Moreover, "It's great to be able to do the same thing with the person you love.

Ten years later, I am already very happy."

"Yes." Senju Hashirama also said with emotion, "It is indeed a good thing to be able to walk hand in hand with the person you love on the same road." He is a supporter of the principle of "well-matched", but he has little doubts about this.

Cognition is "spiritual equivalence." Only by supporting each other and moving forward can we always be spiritually equitable, right? If one person falls behind along the way... it will be easy for there to be gaps and barriers.

For example, take father and mother, one is the heir to a large family business, and the other is the eldest daughter who was specially compensated by the family for marriage. Their identities are indeed "well-matched", but their spirits have never matched each other, and their interests and hobbies are completely different. Until then.

Now, as both retirees and traveling companions, perhaps they are truly equal. In a sense, they have only begun to really get along now...

…That’s exactly what I thought.

But now I actually feel that even if the little one doesn't want to work all her life and just wants to be a happy little princess, he is still willing to pamper her like this for the rest of her life and make her happy for the rest of her life.

It can be seen that love and reason sometimes conflict, and in many cases, the former can defeat the latter.

However, no matter how you look at it now, the little girl wants to be crowned as Her Majesty the Queen's Princess.

Of course, no matter what she thinks or does, it will be the best.

"Then are you driving today or am I driving?" Uchiha asked as he looked at the vehicle belonging to the two of them in the garage.

"You go ahead." Senju Hashirama said decisively, "After all, I'm not skilled~"

"..." What a liar!

The Uchiha child thought to herself, "This person's tricks are really as deep as the sea", but she did not object. After all, she was more willing to send people home than to be sent home, so that she would not face that "unpleasant" situation.

Please let me come in and sit down?" and other embarrassing questions.

After a while, the two sat in the vehicle brought by Uchiha.

Senju Hashirama set his mobile phone to navigation mode and placed it on the stand: "Small belt, just follow the navigation. Well, the road conditions are not bad today."

"Well, let's go."

About forty minutes later, the two arrived near their destination.

"You can park on the street here." Senju Hashirama motioned to the people next to him to park beside the car and explained, "There will be no parking fee within one hour. If it exceeds one hour, you will need to pay."

"So..." Uchiha nodded and asked, "Then where is that store?"

"Ahead, there is an alleyway you can go through."

After a while, Uchiha stopped the car, opened the door, and shuddered unconsciously.

As autumn gets deeper, it gets dark earlier, and the oncoming night wind becomes cooler day by day.

Senju Hashirama casually took off his windbreaker and put it on the people around him.

"……Thanks."

"The autumn wind is getting colder day by day, so start wearing thicker clothes tomorrow."

"Um."

"There are also stockings, wouldn't it be better to change them as well?" It's not good for such beautiful legs to be blown and frozen, otherwise we should wear long skirts or pants?

"...Can you please stop paying attention to this." Uchiha said with a black line, "I know, let's start wearing leggings tomorrow, leggings!" The kind with thin fluff.

"Well..."

"Um?"

"Actually, I have always been curious about how warm it is to wear it." Senju Hashirama said seriously as he led the way, "Normally speaking, the tighter the clothes, the warmer they will be, right?"

"...Then I'll give you one another day."

"...Ahem, little belt, you don't have to be so polite." After all, most men bring their own "warming props".
