When she returned to Hinata's house that day, Rika said that she was going to a neighboring village to participate in the summer festival the next day. When Hinata heard this, she looked at her with a look of envy in her white eyes, much like rabbit sauce when she wanted to eat radish.

Rika couldn't help but reach out and poke her forehead and asked, "You want to go too?" ”

Hinata twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands, obviously looking very expectant, but she stopped talking and looked up at her father timidly.

Hinata Hinata frowned, and there was a little dissatisfaction in his tone: "Hinata, although you don't have to go to school tomorrow, you still have to practice." ”

Hinata immediately lowered her head, her eyes full of disappointment, but she still meekly responded, "Yes." "The sound is as thin as a mosquito.

Tokuma suddenly let go of his heart, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and secretly said that it was dangerous.

Hinata Hinata no longer paid attention to his daughter, and dutifully asked Rika as the head of the family, "Does the princess want to take the guards with you?" Why don't I choose a reliable ninja from my clan to accompany you to protect you? ”

Rika waved her hand and smiled smugly, "Kakashi is enough." ”

"Kakashi-san is going too?" Tokuma couldn't help but blurt out.

Rika was inexplicably surprised by him, and raised her eyebrows: "It was he who brought it up himself, of course he wants to go." ”

Tokuma was even more surprised, and his jaw almost dropped - that cunning man would actually offer to accompany the princess to the summer festival?! Something must be wrong!

The young man muttered quietly, "Kakashi-san must be in a bad mood......"

This time, Rika heard it, and the smiling face of the silver-haired ninja with the crescent moon appeared in front of her, and without thinking too much, she said, "No, he's very happy." "Girls who have always laughed when they are happy and cry when they are unhappy don't know that many times laughing and being happy are actually two different things.

Tokuma saw her honest expression, and countless thoughts turned back and forth in her heart - Ten, Amaterasu Okami appeared! The first technician must have suddenly discovered his conscience and decided to shoulder the heavy responsibility of currying favor with the princess alone and save Konoha from the power of power!

is worthy of Kakashisan, whom he admires the most, saying that he is cunning or something, and it is indeed that he spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! ――Tokuma was so moved that he silently shed two tears.

What a big misunderstanding. A silver-haired young man doesn't have such a noble consciousness, but he is just being cheated instead of being pitted.

So, don't underestimate someone else's IQ at any time, even if the other party is a princess girl who looks inversely proportional to her IQ and appearance!

In the early morning of the next day, Rika got up before dawn, spent three hours dressing up, and then took the maid Ryoko to the Shangnin dormitory in a hurry.

After these days of getting along, she knows too well that some people can't just wait! Especially a bad shinobi who is late every day with an extremely bad excuse. -- Got lost on the road of life, met an old woman who was about to cross the road - even if the excuse was different every time, it could not change the nature of his nonsense!

The two stopped in front of the door of the nameplate with Kakashi Hachiki written on it, and Ryoko received Rika's signal and stepped forward to knock lightly. Unexpectedly, after knocking for a while, no one opened the door and no one answered.

Rika frowned - if he dared to release her pigeon, no matter what kind of Konoha No. 1 technician he was, he would die! Decide! Finish!

Click—the door opened, but it was the door next door.

The red-eyed beauty who came out of the room saw the master and servant, and said with a beautiful smile, "Is the princess looking for Kakashi?" He went out early in the morning. ”

Rika asked, "Where have you been?" ”

Sunset Hong hesitated for a moment, and saw Rixiang's bright big eyes staring straight at her waiting for an answer, and something seemed to loosen in her red eyes: "Probably in front of the memorial monument at the entrance of the village." ”

Rika turned around and took a few steps in the direction of the stairs, then suddenly turned back and looked at Sunset Red for a while. It wasn't until the red-eyed beauty asked "what's wrong" slightly embarrassed that the girl smiled like a summer flower and said, "I remember, you are Asma's sweetheart." No wonder you feel a little familiar. ”

Sunset's face turned red, and she whispered in embarrassment: "How can the princess know about this kind of thing?" ”

The pear was fragrant but smiling.

Ryoko hid her smile and responded kindly: "Once Asma-kun dropped his wallet, and we happened to see your photo inside. Then he sighed: "Sunset Sang is really a beauty, and the real person looks better than the photo." ”

The sunset's red and gorgeous face seems to be dyed with a deep rose color.

Speaking of Asma, Rika suddenly thought that if her father sent Kakashi an invitation to the daimyo direct escort, the Hokage would no longer refuse to obstruct it, wouldn't it be easier for her to ask her father for someone again?

Maybe it will work? - Rika was in a happy mood when she got this plan, and decided to pester her father after she went back.

The memorial monument at the entrance of the village is not hard to find, and when Rika saw Kakashi, the sunlight was just over the branches of the trees.

The young man stood in front of the stone monument, with his back to her direction, for the sun did not fall on him within the shade of the trees. At this moment, his whole person was incompatible with the warm and sunny sky around him.

The slightly bent back is obviously lazy and a little decadent, but it makes people inexplicably feel a feeling of oppression like a taut bow. It's incredible.

With Rika's temperament, the moment she saw Kakashi, she must have run over and pulled him away without saying a word. And in fact she did intend to do so—but as soon as she had taken the first step, the girl was frightened by the faint heaviness of the young man's body, and her brow furrowed, and she involuntarily stopped.

Rika had never seen Kakashi Hachiki like this.

Ryoko noticed her strange appearance and leaned over and said, "Rika-sama? ”

Rika came back to her senses, and there was an indescribable sense of blockage in her heart. "You wait here for me, you don't have to come along." As he spoke, he walked slowly and lightly.

Ninja's perception is a hundred times more sensitive than ordinary people, and Kakashi has already sensed that someone is coming, and he probably knows who it will be. The reason why I haven't turned around is because I haven't finished what I'm going to say to Obito today. Kakashi had a habit of speaking to the memorial monument, sometimes speaking out loud, sometimes just silently in his heart. Like the bad habit of being late, it lasted for seven or eight years without realizing it.

He heard very light footsteps approaching him, so he said silently in his heart: Sorry, Obito, let's get here today.

Then, a clear voice belonging to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl sounded behind him: "What are you doing here?" ”

Kakashi only turned around at this time, and the girl in front of him was dressed in a beautiful dress as always, and her light makeup outlined her face like a porcelain doll. This delicate and delicate flower that is served in the greenhouse will not be able to leave the comfortable greenhouse for a long time, and it will not be long before the princess will be clamoring to return to the daimyo's mansion. -- Kakashi suddenly saw hope for freedom.

"What are you doing here?" Rika asked again.

The silver-haired ninja walked over to her, "Visiting a friend." ”

Friend? Rika looked around, and she didn't see anything except the lush trees and the memorial monument in front of her.

The silver-haired ninja had already taken a few steps past her, and when he looked back, he saw that she was still standing in place, and reminded in a loud voice, "Not going yet?" The summer festival is about to begin. ”

Rika withdrew her gaze from the memorial monument and trotted to keep up with the silver-haired ninja. When she was far away, she looked behind her, and saw the sunlight shining brightly on the brown blue stone tablet.

***

The annual summer festival is held in the neighboring village, and many Konoha villagers also drag their families to join in the fun. Rika had never participated in such a lively festival, and she looked curiously around and jumped from stall to stall along the way. The first technician was reading the little yellow book while walking, and he could still be distracted and optimistic about her. But she worked hard for the maid Liangzi, dodging left and right to avoid the bustling crowd, and followed her princess to keep paying for her to clean up her hands.

Kakashi suddenly had a strange thought - if the daimyo lady knew that he was bringing Rika to such a civilian festival, would she hire a ninja to hunt him down? I hope it's not Konoha ninjas to be hired.,It's so hard to do it to your own people.。

The sun showed a bright smile in the sky, and Ryoko followed behind Rika to create an umbrella for her. The crowd pushed and pushed, and Ryoko's action was not easy, and she was bumped by others several times, but no matter how stumbling her steps were, she never let the parasol move away from the top of Rika's head for half a moment.

Liangzi is indeed a good maid who is one in a thousand.

Rika played with nothing and didn't notice anything. She was used to being served in such a meticulous manner.

Kakashi glanced at the pair of master and servant, frowned slightly, and immediately let go, casually looking down at his little yellow book.

The voices of the people were noisy, and the streamers hanging in the air swayed, casting layers of mottled shadows on the ground.

Lixiang played goldfish, full of interest, but unfortunately luck and technology are not satisfactory, played for more than half an hour, did not catch a single one, but harvested a lot of paper nets that rotted because they could not bear the weight of the fish.

"What a pity." The boss on the side smiled happily and said in a tone that was not regretful at all.

Rika snorted angrily and threw the paper net: "Don't play!" As he spoke, he got up, shook the hem of his skirt, turned his head and walked away with a hesitant face. The ruffled skirt creates brightly colored waves.

The boss was not annoyed, and said to the silver-haired ninja beside her with a smile, "The little girl has a good temper. ”

Kakashi shrugged, flipped the pages of the book with his fingertips, and followed Rika with his long legs.

The silver-haired ninja actually hoped that the princess would "fall in love at first sight" with those goldfish.

If Rika knew what he was thinking, she would probably give him a roll of the eyes - as the first technician of Konoha, his IQ should not decline too much.

The three of them walked a long way away from the goldfish stall, and there were children's voices behind them calling "sister" and "sister" chasing after them. When the brown-haired boy was about to run to Rika, Ryoko quietly stepped in front of her princess.

Kakashi recognized it as the goldfish stall owner's youngest son.

Rika, who had just been hit by his father and the goldfish, stopped, raised her chin slightly, and looked at him with an unhappy eyebrow.

The boy was out of breath because he was running fast. He clutched a transparent bag containing half a bag of water and a red goldfish swimming around in circles.

The boy raised his arm towards Rika, and the goldfish in the bag glanced at Rika with bulging eyes, and continued to spin his tail in circles. The young man who had just passed his tenth birthday two days ago had a slightly red face, perhaps because of the vigorous running, or perhaps because of the shyness of doing nothing.

"Sister, give it to you." He said.

Rika looked at him strangely.

Kakashi curled the corners of his mouth slightly under the mask, teasing like a big brother next door who loves to joke, "Secretly take the goldfish from the store and give it to a beautiful girl, and if your dad knows about it, she will spank you." ”

The little boy blushed and saw that Rika didn't answer for a long time, so he shoved the bag into her hand, grimaced at Kakashi again, and ran away like a smoke.

Rika stared at the sudden extra goldfish in her hand, and wrinkled her nose as if it was very difficult to digest.

"When you receive a gift, you should say thank you."

Rika looked up at the young man who was talking, the afternoon sun seemed to flow between his silver hair, and even the gray mask shone with a soft and warm golden glow like a layer of tulle. and the lonely figure standing quietly in front of the memorial monument in the early morning are completely like two people.

The girl lost her mind all at once.

Kakashi was now very accustomed to being watched intently by her, and as soon as the little yellow book closed, he leaned over and asked in a gentle tone, "Can't you even say thank you?" ”

Rika has never said the word thank you to anyone.

The girl tilted her head and thought about it, and said seriously: "Why did you give me a goldfish?" Is it sympathy for me? ”

Ah, I must have seen that she couldn't catch a goldfish, so I gave her one out of sympathy.

Kakashi Crescent Eyes: "I like what you mean, I guess." ”

Rika stared at him with wide eyes for a while, and then laughed like him into two crooked crescents, and raised the bag containing the goldfish in her hand to him, and said in a brisk tone: "Then I'll give it to you." ”
