Speaking of which, the flower shop I just went to?

Is it the Ino family?

Chiba looked down at some kind of petite sunflower that was growing well in her hand, and the petals were all glowing with golden luster, and looked at the closed front door, and a thought suddenly flashed in her heart.

This morning, at Nao's suggestion, after he had set up the weight-bearing props and the list that Hirohiko had given him, he went to the village flower shop to buy such a bouquet of flowers, and then at noon, that is, now, Chiba followed Nao's instructions and guarded Yukina here with a "sincere" attitude.

Xue Nai only needs to go to the defense force for one morning today, and the noon and afternoon are the rest time.

But why didn't I think of it?

Girls should be more flower-like, right, so isn't it very effective to send flowers? When Yukina sees this, she may not be angry, and her mood will improve.

Looking at the golden flowers, Chiba nodded silently, feeling that Nao was right, and deeply felt that although he lived with Hirohiko and them during this time, his communication skills have improved, but he is still his weakness in terms of communication.

Even, he also feels that this aspect may become his weakness forever, after all, except for some familiar people, when facing strangers, especially strangers with good intentions, he is still not very good at responding.

But......

How do you send this flower?

Then, Chiba found a very serious problem, the flowers were bought, everything was ready, but, how to apologize to Yukina.

"Excuse me?"

Thinking about it, Chiba suddenly made a gesture of handing out the flowers, and then said in a way that he found difficult.

Too reluctantly.

An unhappy thought crossed his mind.

"I'm sorry ......"

Then he changed another one, but quickly frowned again, as if he were a bit blunt.

"I was wrong, I'm sorry......"

Uh, not sincere enough?

"I apologize for my actions this morning. ”

Isn't that too grand?

"Anyway, I'm sorry!"

Isn't that too hasty......

Because of dissatisfaction with the tone of his apology, Chiba began to hand out flowers repeatedly and apologize in various tones.

And all of this is reflected in the eyes of Hirohiko, a head that quietly poked out of the kitchen.

At this time, looking at Hirohiko in Chiba, the poker face had already disappeared without a trace, and his face was full of snickers.

Burst......

It's the first time I've seen Chiba like this, no...... I can't help it!

No, no, no, no!

My stomach is starting to hurt!

I really don't know if Nao is teaching Chiba like this, or if he's playing tricks on Chiba!

And in his heart, he was thinking so unscrupulously.

Chiba...... It's really inferior!

At this time, Nao, who was also holding a book in the kitchen, although his expression did not change, slowly left a bead of sweat on the back of his head.

But, Yukina, that's all I can do for you!

Next, it's up to you.

After that, a rather worried thought came to her mind.

......

And at this time, the other side.

"Lady Yukina, the shift has begun in the past few days, everything is going well, and the wounded who have returned from the front line have also ...... Yukina-sama, will you listen again?"

The young and serious female ninja of the defense force was halfway through speaking, and her eyes glanced at her deputy commander, but she saw that this delicate and lovely little princess, who was already destined to be a big beauty at a young age, was looking out of the window blankly at this time, and it seemed that she hadn't listened to her final report at all, and couldn't help but whisper a few times.

What to do...... Chiba is training like that again!

Also, did I do too much in the morning, Chiba shouted in pain, did I go too far!

At this time, his eyes unconsciously looked at Xue Nai outside the window, but a series of thoughts flashed in his heart, and his mind was full of the appearance of Chiba covered in blood this morning, as well as the appearance of Chiba dragging back with blood in the past few years.

Even, there was another time, Chiba fainted almost covered in blood on the edge of the woods, that time it frightened her, if she didn't find out in time, the consequences would be unimaginable, this time it almost became her nightmare.

However, she also knew that she couldn't stop Chiba.

"Lady Yukina...... Yukina-sama!"

And thinking of this, her thoughts were interrupted by the female ninja in front of her who had been calling Sister Mako, and a pair of plain hands were dangling in front of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Sister Mako, I'll watch it right away!"

Then, she was shocked and lost her temper, and hurriedly raised the scroll in her hand and looked at it, and after looking at it for a while, Xue Nai raised her head a little embarrassed and asked weakly, "That...... Sister Mako, can you tell me again?"

Looking at the embarrassed Yukina, the embarrassment and pleading on that pretty face, Mako, who was originally a little puzzled about Yukina's state, her eyes instantly lit up.

So cute!

Her heart was filled with such a thought.

"Of course!

And in her mouth, she said in such a hurry.

......

"Alas......"

Yukina let out a long sigh and looked at the slowly closing door of the Defense Department's office, dragging a little tired as she walked back to the cabin.

What should I do next to Chiba......

I don't know if Chiba is angry, after all, he deliberately hurt him, although he doesn't usually care about this kind of thing, but what if, what if he gets angry?

What to do?

Walking on the road, Xue Nai's brows furrowed slightly, but her heart involuntarily accelerated.

At this moment, she was a little panicked.

What to do?

In case of...... What if one thousand leaves get angry?

"Click!"

As her thoughts turned, her pace slowed down until she stood still, and her face was completely flustered.

......

Belch......

At this time, Chiba, who was guarding the front door, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he looked at the front door that had been closed, frowning slightly.

Why haven't you come back yet?

It's almost twelve o'clock.,I should be able to come back.,Now the major ninja villages on the front line have basically entered a state of truce.,I've also seen the rotation table of the defense forces.,There's no problem.,It's almost perfect.,And every rotation is also very normal.,Or there's a tacit understanding.,It shouldn't be possible that anything goes wrong and it will involve time!

At this moment, Chiba was slightly puzzled.

Not only him, but even Nao and Hirohiko felt strange, and before they knew it, they came out of the kitchen.

"What's going on?"

Nao spoke first.

"I don't know, Yukina hasn't come back yet, it shouldn't be possible, there's nothing over there that would make her late. ”

Chiba turned her head and glanced at Nao.

"Do you want me to take a look? ”

Hirohiko also spoke, according to their calculations, Yukina should have gone home ten minutes ago, and the office of the defense force, near the gate of the village, was actually not very far from the cabin.

Yukina should have come back a long time ago.

"No, it's still me ......"

Hearing Hirohiko's words, Chiba looked at the flower in his hand, shook his head, and denied Hirohiko's words.

"Squeak!"

However, before he could finish the second half of his sentence, the front door opened.

"I'll ...... back"
