Chapter 38: Faint Thunder
Slender fingers brushed over Hyacinth's petals, and Ino narrowed his pale blue eyes slightly. Looking at the hyacinth in front of him, Ino suffered again for a while.
Wouldn't that be too subtle?
Although he is proficient in the language of flowers, what if he happens to not know this?
What if you are rejected?
But after another gust of wind shook the fragrance in the flower shop, Ino picked up Hyacinth's pot and walked out of the flower shop. "Without a prince, I'm also a princess" Ino, who has a cosmos-like personality, is still proud when he is captured by love.
The sun was warm, and when she walked out of the flower shop, she saw the white clouds on the horizon, and inexplicably became full of confidence.
"Forget it. Sobering up from the fear of a changed "future", Yagami gave up the idea of using Ino out of pride and a hint of conscience.
He yawned and lazily closed a book about flowers and the language of flowers. This was originally to attract Ino, but now that I've decided to give up, I don't have to force myself to study anymore.
Although those flower languages are also quite interesting.
Konoha is really a place to relax. The warm sunshine, the lively streets, the villagers who are always smiling happily, and the ghosts running and playing in the streets are like paradise compared to other ninja villages. Even Yagamiki, who has always been diligent, can't help but get tired. Although he also had the idea of relaxing himself.
Standing up, Yagamiki, dressed in a loose home kimono, put the book back on the shelf.
"Sekiji senior~" At this time, Yagami Ki heard Ino's voice. Retracting his feet towards the bed, Yagami dispelled the idea of taking a nap.
She seemed nervous. Yagami Kiki, who opened the door and smiled just right. The girl was holding a pot of flowers, her forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat, and she was breathing a little more often than usual.
"Welcome. Yagami said
"Sorry to interrupt. Ino's courage vanished without a trace in front of Yagami's smile.
"No, very few people come to me. Especially Ino, you're a surprise to me. Yagami waited for Ino to put on his slippers, then turned around and walked to the back room.
"Water, or tea. The jasmine tea at home is very good. ”
Sitting down in front of the coffee table, Ino watched Yagami make tea again, hot water rushed into the teacup and made a gurgling sound, a cloud of heat steamed on the teacup, and the room was filled with the fragrance of jasmine for a while.
Yagamiki's movements are elegant and smooth, and it is enjoyable just to watch.
"Koji senior. ”
"Just call me Koji, Ino. ”
"Hmm......" Ino felt like he was speechless again.
Yagami is not a dull person, he felt the girl's inner emotion, and he couldn't help but hesitate again. Like Orochimaru, he was interested in the secret arts of the Yamanaka clan.
It's not just the art of heart turning, but the secret art that can check the memories of others, Yagami has been coveting for a long time.
"It's less difficult than you think, do you really want to give up? With his back to Ino, Yagamiki's eyes flashed. But turning around, he put on a false gentle smile again.
"It's a little hot, so you have to cool it down first. ”
"Uh-huh......" Ino took the steaming tea.
The atmosphere fell silent suddenly, and at some point, a hazy rain cloud obscured the sky of Konoha. The wind that smelled of rain with the moisture before the rain blew into the room.
The wind blew through Ino's body that was slightly sweating because of nervousness, bringing a comfortable coolness, and the fragrance of jasmine tea mixed with the smell of rain, everything seemed a little unreal.
Ino felt terrible, and the courage he had mustered up in the morning was completely gone. She wanted to find something to talk about.
"Hikari Si-kun, your room is very simple. She said.
"Hmm...... Because I'm single, I don't have much either. ”
It's a terrible topic, I should have thought of it a long time ago. Hikari Sijun has always been alone.
"Does Koji-kun feel lonely sometimes?" Ino couldn't help but want to get to know Koji.
It was at this moment that the first thunder finally sounded in the sky, faintly mingling with the jingle of wind chimes in front of the eaves.
"Loneliness is such a thing, everyone has it once in a while. ”
"Yes...... But I feel that Guang Sijun has been alone all along. ”
"I ...... Does it give you that feeling? I just prefer to be quiet. ”
"Quiet?"
"Well, I like the feeling of thinking quietly more than endless conversations. Yagami smiled again, "I'm lazy." ”
"The flower on the table is hyacinth. ”
"Yes......" blush crept up Ino's cheek again.
"Did you raise it from Ino, it blooms beautifully. ”
"It's past the hyacinth flowering season. ”
"My flower room can change the temperature of the flower room. Speaking of flowers, Ino seems to have regained a little bit of courage. "This pot of flowers is for Koji-kun. ”
"Thank you then...... I love it. Yagami got up and picked up Hyacinth, which Ino had put aside, and he placed it on his bookshelf.
Yagami turned around, but what he saw was no longer Ino, but the hazy sky in the distance.
She heard Koji chanting a short sentence in his gentle voice, and it was soft.
"Faint thunder, hazy sky. But I hope that the wind and rain will come, and I can keep you here. ”
Bang...... Unlike the faint thunder just now, the thunder finally roared, and the wind and rain also rose with the thunder, and the rain fell like marbles, rustling.
Ino's heart also beat violently because of the loud thunder.
"Now, Ino do you know the flower language of the white hyacinth?"
"I know~" Ino felt that Koji's eyes were very shy now, and she turned her face away.
"The flower language of the white hyacinth is an indescribable love. "Yagami Ki is close to Ino.
"But I don't think it's okay not to say it. Yagami crawled on the ground and gradually approached the kneeling Ino.
"Ino ...... You probably like me a little. ”
"I ...... too I like you very much. So, can you associate with me. ”
"Hmm......" Ino whispered in response with his head slightly bowed, avoiding Yagami's gaze.
However, her jaw was lifted in the next moment.
Warm, slightly sweet, with a hint of jasmine.
When the lips on the light touch parted, Yagami saw Ino's thin lips tremble slightly like the petals of a newly blooming flower.
"It's raining heavily, so stay here for a while. The smiling Yagami kissed the girl's delicate lips again. That action made the almost stunned girl not know how to dodge.
Ino, who closed his eyes, didn't see it, Yagamiki's eyes were no longer gentle, but flashed with a cold light.
Conscience, pride, whatever!
The world is facing the danger of destruction, and what is it compared to deceiving the heart of a girl.
That's it...... Ino fell in love with himself.
And one day, Ino, who came to look for Yagami Kiki, met the drunken Yamanaka Koji for the first time. She learns that Mitsuji Yamanaka failed the Nakashinobi exam.
"If I had a bit more powerful ninjutsu. ”
Ino, who accompanied the frustrated Yamanaka Koji all night, was finally manipulated and made up his mind.
She stole the family's ninjutsu scroll and gave it to Koji.
Then, he received a thank you and a gentle hug from Koji.
Embraced in a warm embrace, feeling the warmth of his lips with his big palms against his head. Ino was dispelled with the last trace of uneasiness about stealing the scroll.
"As long as you return it early, you'll be fine. And...... Koji is also a member of the Yamanaka clan, and I will marry Koji-kun in the future. ”
"Oops...... What the hell was I thinking? ”
Closing her eyes and enjoying a gentle hug, the girl can't help but fantasize about the future with her lover.
