The source of this murderous aura comes from Liuli.

At this moment, Ruri had withdrawn from her blushing state, and after taking a deep breath, she looked at it with a look that Shiraishi couldn't fully understand.

For this kind of wonderful eyes that are really incomprehensible, Shiraishi can feel a sense of oppression that he has never felt before, and he is burdened with himself.

Sure enough, it was because of the fact that she was going to buy a kimono for her just now, which made her emotions more elusive than usual.

That's right, even if you think about it yourself, you know that what you just said will be very angry and ashamed for a girl.

"W-That...... How to put it, it is really full of accidents and accidents. If there is such a special intention to give a kimono, then ......"

For a moment, the illusion - the murderous aura on Liuli's body seemed to be stronger.

Although she herself had now taken her eyes off Shiraishi, she stood there calmly as if nothing had happened, looking elsewhere.

But Shiraishi knew that this was not a delusion at all.

At this time, not to mention remedy, whether or not you can get out of this clothing store smoothly is a question worth considering.

Shiraishi turned his gaze to Fujimura, his teacher on the side, and asked him for help.

Fujimura said in a righteous tone: "Chiba-san, don't always think about asking adults for help when you encounter difficulties, you are now a qualified ninja, and you have to find a way to have enough food and clothing for yourself." ”

Of course, this is not because I am afraid to stretch out my hand.

After all, no matter how he said it, he was also an excellent ninja who had been selected as an elite teacher by the ninja school several times, so how could he not save his students if he was so good?

This is entirely because I want to train the students' ability to rescue themselves.

That's right, it's a workout.

"I like the color of this dress very much, and the size is also appropriate, what do you think?"

At this moment, Liuli suddenly said this sentence, her expression had completely returned to normal, her eyes were still staring at her clothes, and it seemed that it was just an ordinary opinion.

"Yes, yes...... I think so, too, it's very suitable for you. ”

“……”

“……”

…… Belch? How?

How to say this silence, it is like an important hint hidden in the game's plot.

If it is not triggered, the plot will not be able to unfold smoothly.

Therefore, it is impossible to obfuscate the past.

But is that really good?

I don't know how to explain the wonderful feeling that is born in my heart at this moment.

Marriage proposal or something?

No, I didn't know that there were such hints in the clothes, so I just had to keep a normal mind.

It's just a testimony between friends.

But there are still ...... Guilt of blasphemy or something.

I shouldn't have talked too much if I had known.

It's yourself who can't get off the stage.

Shiraishi cleared his throat, pointed to it and said, "Fujimura-sensei, bring that kimono, I want to buy it." ”

Fujimura smiled, took off the kimono that Ruri fancied according to Shiraishi's meaning, and packed it.

"Chiba-san, boys can only become meaningful when they deliver this kind of clothes to girls by hand."

I'm annoyed, I want you to talk more! Shiraishi replied to him unhappily.

Ruri's gaze at Nakashinobi Fujimura-sensei softened, with a satisfied color.

Finally, I watched Shiraishi and Ruri, who were holding the kimono, leave the clothing store.

"The young people of today are really amazing, but if you want to get married, does Chiba-san plan to join the Uchiha in the future?"

Fujimura sighed with emotion, Ruri is not only a genius of the Uchiha family, but it is also said that the family is super rich, and if he wants to get married, the man is more likely to be rich.

But it's still early, get married or something.

◎

The time came to the next day.

Shiraishi woke up from a state of confusion.

Because of yesterday's incident, I tossed and turned in the quilt all night and didn't sleep well, and I was very embarrassed.

I feel guilty when I think of myself who gave a kimono with special significance to Ruri after returning yesterday.

Although I kept hypnotizing myself, this is not that there is a special meaning in it, it is just pure friendship.

But will this really be the case?

Because after putting the thing in Liuli's hand, I didn't even look at her expression, but I remembered that I was very embarrassed when I ran back to the laboratory like a desert.

Even last night's experiment became absent-minded and error-prone.

This wonderful mood is really complicated and indescribable.

Shake off the crankiness in your head, and now the most important thing is to work, not to think about irrelevant things.

But the more this happens, the more I care about yesterday's events.

What would Ruri think?

Would she think it was a marriage proposal?

It's so strange, the two of them are only twelve years old in terms of biological age......

Will you think you are frivolous?

Will it be hated? Or do you like it? Or doesn't feel anything?

"Ah......h

One thought after another came to his mind, and his head was about to explode.

Shiraishi opened his mouth and exhaled heavily, trying to calm himself down.

In this way, a morning passed almost in such a blur.

It's really irritating.

Just when Shiraishi was distressed-

Outside patio.

A maid walked over to Ruri, who was leisurely feeding the fish with food by the pond, and whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, Ruri nodded to the maid.

The maid went down, and before long she came in with a young girl dressed in white.

The girl had pure white pupils, and looked curiously at this unusually large mansion, which was none other than Ayane.

"Let's go down."

Ruri glanced at the maid.

"Yes."

The maid bent down slightly and left here, leaving Ruri and Ayane alone here.

"Is this your home? I've heard from Shiraishi-kun, but after seeing it with my own eyes, it's more shocking than I imagined. ”

Ayane walked over and said with a smile.

"Nothing, just a normal size, and I don't think it will surprise you."

Ruri continued to sprinkle some food and feed it to the fish in the pond, watching them swim quickly and splash as they scrambled for food.

"Also, put away your fake smile and don't pretend to me. You should know that I don't eat your set. ”

After that, Ruri said unceremoniously again, and her sharp gaze pointed directly at Ayane's body.

"What are you talking about, I don't understand ...... very well"

In the middle of her sentence, Ruri disappeared from her eyes, and her words were interrupted.

Ruri stands in a position of holding Ayane's throat, but is unable to move on to the next move.

Ayane's middle and index fingers of her right hand rested lightly against Ruri's heart.

"Is this the capital you rely on? A soft fist with natural energy? ”

Ruri asked Ayane with interest.

This month in Konoha, Ayane is not without the slightest growth.

Although it is not yet possible to specifically observe how much the power of the soft fist can be increased after fusing natural energy, it is impossible for Ayane to respond so quickly in the past, even if she opened her eyes and was able to capture her figure.

"Sure enough, you're the type I least want to deal with. Not only strength, but also character, it doesn't match me. ”

The smile on Ayane's face disappeared completely, and she said with a sigh of helplessness.

"Each other."

Ruri took her palm off Ayane's throat.

Ayane also withdrew her fingers back.

It seems that this is a close battle, but Ayane still doesn't dare to be careless, this is a person who grows faster than herself.

If you are complacent because of this achievement, the person who ends up asking for your own hardship must be yourself.

"Speaking ......"

Seeing that Ruri had no desire to do anything, Ayane breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and looked at Ruri's body with strange eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me? ”

"No, I'm trying to ask, is today a special day for your Uchiha?"

As the only two wealthy ninja families in Konoha who have the ability to inherit the blood limit, Ayane doesn't dare to say that she knows the Uchiha, but if it is a special festival, she should know a little.

But she couldn't remember what special day it was for the Uchiha.

"Why do you ask?"

Ayane heard Ruri's rhetorical question, and pointed to the light blue kimono on her body, a suitably sized kimono, and although her hair was draped, this look was already very solemn.

"Your clothes ......"

"This? What does it matter? ”

"Generally speaking, isn't this something you should wear at important festivals or festivals?"

Ayane asked the question in her heart.

No matter how you look at it, suddenly wearing a kimono on such a day has an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

"It's none of your business, don't meddle with it. Besides, why should I explain it to you? ”

Ruri sat next to the pond, frowned, and stopped feeding the fish.

"I really don't get along with you."

Ayane was not surprised at all by Ruri's indifferent reaction, but reasonably, feeling that this was what Ruri should really be.

In the task, the appearance of getting along with oneself calmly is only because of the responsibility of teamwork.

However, now that it is a time of vacation, the contradictions erupt.

"What are you doing here?"

Ruri asks Ayane about the purpose of her visit.

In fact, you don't have to think about it to know that Ayane can't come here to find herself.

Well, the purpose is self-evident.

"I'm just here to care about my classmates and contact them by the way."

"Boring. He's in the lab, go find it yourself. ”

"Can you use the whites of your eyes?"

Ayane asked with a smile.

"You can try it."

For Ruri's thief-like expression, Ayane was also distressed.

And Ruri enjoyed Ayane's helpless appearance, and her heart was refreshed.

"Alright, there's nothing to do, you can go. I've been running out of food at home lately, so I'm sorry I can't prepare you a lunch. ”

Liuli began to drive people away, and her tone was not polite at all.

“……”

Ayane scratched her head and smiled wryly.

"Don't you want to leave? I've said that I won't prepare lunch for you. ”

"No, because Shiraishi-kun gave me a very important observation task before, let him meet me at the old place at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I will give him important observation materials."

"Just give it to me, and I'll pass it on to him for you." There's no need to meet outside. ”

"I kept that document somewhere else, and I don't have it with me now. Moreover, I have to hand it over to Shiraishi-kun in person to rest assured. ”

Ayane said in a non-slow tone.

Ruri frowned dissatisfied.

"You should know how important my white eyes are to Shiraishi-kun's research. So, please pass this sentence on to him, please, Ruri. ”

Ayane smiled slightly, turned around and left without dragging mud and water.

Seeing Ayane leave, it wasn't until her back completely disappeared from sight that Ruri withdrew her gaze and let out a sigh of relief.

There's no need to be angry about such a small thing as a sesame seed.

That's right, it's just a trivial matter, and there's no need to take it to heart at all......

But what is this sudden anger in my heart?

No matter how you look at it, it's that guy's fault.

- Noon.

When Shiraishi and Ruri were dining together, he heard Ayane come to him before, saying that he had important observation materials for him.

"In this way, I did ask her before, but I didn't expect the result to come so soon. It's a white eye, and it really helps. ”

Shiraishi sighed.

But noticing Liuli's increasingly wrong terrifying eyes, his face seemed to be completely blackened, and Bai Shi immediately changed his tone:

"That, in fact, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the research funds or materials you provided to me, which is the most important. The role of the white eye is not as great as imagined. ”

After listening to Baishi's hurried explanation, Liuli's eyes finally softened.

Later, Shiraishi also noticed that the light blue kimono Ruri was wearing was the one he bought and gave to her yesterday.

As a result, Shiraishi's expression became a little subtle.

When eating, I also intentionally or unintentionally avoid it, pretending to be nothing.

"It's not for you."

Ruri saw that Shiraishi noticed the kimono he was wearing, and was afraid that Shiraishi would misunderstand something, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"Huh?"

Stopping to eat, Shiraishi looked over in surprise.

"Don't be sentimental, it's just that I like the style and color of this dress more."

“……”

"Besides, I just wear it now, and I won't wear it on New Year's Day. Sorry to disappoint your expectations. ”

“……”

I didn't say anything.

However, when I heard that I didn't wear this kimono on New Year's Day, I did feel empty.

Seeing that Liuli turned his head slightly at this moment, he didn't look straight over, this was ...... Embarrassed?

I thought I would be embarrassed when I personally delivered the kimono to her yesterday, but in fact, Ruri is about the same, right?

When I think about it, I was much less irritable last night and this morning.

"Uh-huh, I know."

"It's good to know. I'm full. ”

Under Shiraishi's strange gaze, Ruri put down the dishes and chopsticks, stepped on the broken steps of an even pace, and walked out of the room with an elegant posture.

After closing the door, the glass-backed chair leaned against the door, lowered his head, and his hair could only hide some facial expressions, but could not block them all.

The roots of the ears are already red.
