Naruto, who was immersed in his inner thoughts, did not notice the passage of time, and as the sun set in the west, the red sunset began to sink into the sea, and the range of sight became smaller and smaller, and the night began to fall.

The calm sea began to pick up the wind, losing the sunshine, and the vast sea began to become cold.

It's going to rain soon. Naruto, who had noticed the deterioration of his vision, looked at the sky that was about to be covered in dark clouds. Naruto, who was hesitating to return to the cabin so soon, heard his 'sister' shouting.

"Sure enough, you're here, you stupid brother!"

The girl's mood didn't seem to be very good, and the dark clouds on her face seemed to be thicker than the dark clouds in the sky, making Naruto feel that the 'wind and rain' in front of her seemed to be more violent than the impending wind and rain.

"What are you doing here, you don't eat lunch, you don't come to dinner, if I hadn't gone to the cafeteria and found out that you weren't there, how long would you have stayed here? ”

As the leader of a team, the girl has a lot of things to do, and the fact that Naruto didn't go to lunch is that the girl deliberately went to the cafeteria when dinner was served, and found that Naruto was not there. After one of his subordinates asked Naruto in detail about today's behavior, the anxious girl hurriedly killed the bow of the ship.

Naruto, who didn't understand why the girl was in such a bad mood, looked at the girl with a question mark on his face, and replied lightly, "I'm not hungry yet, so I ......"

"You stupid!" Seeing Naruto say such angry words, the girl frowned, a mouthful of silver teeth was almost crushed, and angrily dragged Naruto to the cabin: "Follow me!"

As if sensing that the girl was indeed angry, Naruto did not struggle this time, and obediently let him grab his arm and drag him into the cabin. It's just that the girl's jade legs are slender and her pace is very urgent, and Naruto's small short legs are not as good as the girl's one step forward, so Naruto has to trot behind so as not to fall.

Looking at the suspicious boy led by Terumi-sama back to the room, the group of ninjas who were cut off from sight by the door discussed dissatisfiedly: "I really don't know, why Terumi-sama is so good to that kid." ”

"Terumi-sama is so gentle with everyone, okay, it's just that the kid's origin is unknown, and now he has been with the adults, we must always be vigilant, if there is a case......"

"Damn, that kid must have done some kind of magic to make Terumi-sama trust him so much!

"Actually, you're just jealous, aren't you, haha......"

"Isn't it jealous of you?"

The person who was asked stiffened, and wanted to refute but knew that he couldn't hide from these partners who had been with him for a long time, so he had to shake his head stupidly and muttered, "I'm just worried about Terumi-sama, and I don't mean anything else......"

The door that had just been closed was opened again, and the girl walked out and said to the empty corridor: "Wei Liang, help me get some food to come in, be quick!" Although no one came out to answer, the girl knew that Wei Liang must have heard.

As the girl thought, Wei Liang, who was complaining with his companions, was reluctant to share the food on the boat with the little ghost after hearing Terumi-sama's instructions, but now Terumi-sama was obviously angry, and he could only walk to the cafeteria dissatisfied.

The girl walked back to the room, slammed the door shut, and angrily shouted at Naruto, who was looking at her fingers, "You sit on the bed for me!" Originally, it was intended to let this stupid brother sit on the ground, but the floor of the ship did not have tatami mats, and the hard wood was estimated to put a lot of burden on Naruto's calves, although he was angry, he was reluctant to let Naruto sit on the ground, so he had to let Naruto sit on the relatively soft bed.

Looking at the girl's dark face, Naruto didn't want to touch this moldy head at this time, and obediently sat down on the bed, waiting for the next instruction.

"Sitting!" Although the girl felt sorry for Naruto by letting Naruto sit on the bed, it didn't mean that she forgave Naruto now, seeing that Naruto was really just 'sitting' on the bed, the girl shouted loudly.

The sitting posture requires the hips to be placed on the ankles, the upper body is straight, the hands are placed on the knees in a regular manner, and the eyes are not squinted. The girl who loves Naruto lets her sit upright, which shows that she is really angry.

Naruto only adjusted his sitting posture and silently complied with the girl's request, and in his own opinion, it was not something difficult to do, so he just followed her wishes.

The girl saw Naruto sitting down obediently, her anger subsided slightly, and she looked at Naruto with her hands on her chest, "Do you know what you did wrong this time?"

Did he do something wrong again?, though he didn't know, Naruto's instincts told him that it was better to follow her for now. Unsure of the answer to his question, Naruto guessed, "Did I get my clothes dirty?"

"No, it doesn't matter what the clothes are!"

"That'...... Is it because I think my sister is terrible?"

"Oh, ho-ho, that's what you think. ”

"No, that's my nonsense. Naruto, who saw that the girl was showing signs of blackening, quickly denied the preface, and then continued to guess the answer: "The answer is really because I want to escape, right?"

"Heh, hehe...... Stupid brother, do you think you can escape my palm?"

Looking at the girl who continued to blacken, Naruto hurriedly remedied, "Haha...... The weather is nice outside. ”

“……”

Feeling that something was wrong, Naruto hid his hands behind his back, playing with a little uneasiness, and watched the girl's expression with both eyes.

"You ...... It's all good, and I'm going to say why you don't eat at noon, and why don't you listen to me at night!"

Naruto, who was startled by the sudden outburst of the girl, didn't react, and it took a long time to figure out that she was actually angry for such trivial things. It took a long time before he reacted and said in a daze: "Because, I don't feel hungry yet, there is not much food on the ship, so it would be good to save some if you can." ”

Looking at Naruto's expression, which didn't look like a fake at all, the girl suddenly felt that Michi's nose was a little sour. Is this kid coming over like this all along, can't you think more about your body, you see how thin you have become.

The girl was about to say something, but was interrupted by a knock at the door. The girl frowned, as if upset that her conversation with Naruto had been interrupted.

When he opened the door, it was Wei Liang. Wei Liang had a tray in his hand with some food on it, and Wei Liang said to the girl, "Excuse me, Lord Terumi." ”

Seeing that it was Wei Liang who sent the food, the girl also dispersed the dissatisfaction in her heart, pointed to the table and said, "Just let it go." ”

Wei Liang answered, put the tray in his hand on the table, and glanced disdainfully at Naruto, who was sitting on Terumi-sama's bed, and let out a slight smack.

Putting down the food on the tray one by one, Wei Liang, who was holding the tray, said to the girl: "Lord Zhaomei, I'll go out first, if there is anything, just give an order, I'll be outside the door." ”

The girl seemed a little absent-minded and waved his hand to let him out. After the door closed again, the girl seemed to understand a little bit of Naruto's reason for not going to the cafeteria.

Looking at the food on the table, although Naruto's stomach was already rumbling, Naruto still suppressed his desire to eat well.

The grunting voice woke the girl up, and when she found Naruto still sitting on the bed, she smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, you must be hungry, so come over and eat something first." ”

Although he was puzzled by the girl's sudden change, Naruto, who had been hungry for a long time, really needed to eat, so he was no longer polite, jumped down and grabbed the food on the table and began to eat.

Looking at Naruto, who was in a little hurry, the girl wiped the corners of her eyes, silently poured a glass of water, and handed it to Naruto. Naruto looked at the suddenly extra water cup in front of him, and without thinking much about it, he dried up the fresh water inside and continued to destroy the food in front of him.

Finally eliminated the food in front of him, Naruto, who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, looked at the grease on his hands and was hesitant to lick it, but was grabbed by the girl and wiped it clean with a hand towel.

Looking at his clean little hand with a bit of pity, Naruto turned his head to look at the girl, waiting for the next lecture, Naruto couldn't remember when this was the end of the matter.

Facing Naruto's gaze, the girl touched Naruto's hair and apologized to Naruto, "I'm sorry, Naruto." ”

"Huh?"

Why do you want to apologize?, puzzled by the girl's diametrically opposed words and actions, Naruto looked at the girl in bewilderment.

"I was negligent. I think everyone on the ship will treat you like me, but I ignored their thoughts, you must have suffered a lot for this, right?" Stroking Naruto's thin face, the girl said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Naruto, don't blame them, they are just thinking about my safety, and they don't have malicious intent, if you want to blame me, I'm sorry." ”

Like you, I don't think there are too many people who hug people the first time they meet. Regarding the girl's behavior, Naruto thinks that other people's attitudes should be normal people. Therefore, Naruto could not accept her apologies for the girl who apologized for the non-existence of the wrong act.

"Why should you apologize, even if they did something wrong, you shouldn't apologize, and besides, there is no reason to apologize. ”

The girl gently held Naruto in her arms, stroked his hair over and over again, and whispered softly in his ear, "I am their leader, and of course it is up to me, the leader, to apologize for what my subordinates have done wrong." ”

Holding Naruto hard, the girl's voice became more firm and composed: "And you, you are my younger brother, as an older sister did not take good care of my younger brother, this is my disqualification." ”

Listening to the girl's words, Naruto seemed to have finally found the reason why he was able to sleep peacefully under her eyes, although he was not related by blood, but she undoubtedly regarded herself as her own brother, this burning feeling, even with the barrier of clothes, Naruto could clearly feel it at the moment.

"Is that so......"

Naruto didn't say anything back, but a smile lingered on his face.
