Chapter 32: Maruko
On the corner of Konoha Center Street, a store that has been around for a long time is open, and there are not many people in front of the store, and the slightly cramped store is enough. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If it were usual, even during this time of day, the store would be overcrowded. Since then, the business of the store has become more and more deserted, and it is probably because of the outbreak of war. Under the clouds of war, eating, drinking, and depressing atmosphere do not seem to go well together, and it may only be in the evening that parents bring their children to have fun.
But Jiu Sinai doesn't care so much, she likes the meatballs in this shop, after all, this is the oldest meatball shop in Konoha years, and the store's seven-colored meatballs are also the most delicious. Of all the meatballs, Kushina's least favorite is the red balls, and although she likes the taste of red beans, she hates the look of the red balls, which makes her feel bad.
"Hey, sissy, what are you doing with me!" Jiu Sinai glanced at the water gate, a little dissatisfied.
Although Jiu Sinai's personality is a bit boyish, he is very polite to others, but he chokes on Watergate, which is probably a willfulness to a friend who has a good relationship.
Shuimen was not annoyed, but said gently: "I also like the meatballs in this shop, I'll eat them, can't I?" ā
"Hush." Kushina pursed her lips and grimaced at the water gate. Watergate's gentle personality really restrained her to death, and there was no way to do it.
Kushina walked into the door, swept his gaze subconsciously, and then settled on the only table of customers in the store.
"That's right, that's why I'm pregnant, and I'm running outside...... They are all about to become mothers, can't they stabilize their focus? ā
"Hehe, little brother Mingyuan is worried about me, right? Now, you're worried about me. Say it, say it, worry about me, worry about me, right? ā
āā¦ā¦ā
"Hey, it's boring, it's really my family Shuomao is the best. I just like to see the way he looks when he says he's worried about me with a cold face, super cute, like a little boy! ā
"Shuomao senior...... How can I stand your ......?"
The sound of the happy chatter of the guests at the table reached Jiushina's ears, giving her a very harmonious feeling, so that she subconsciously stood at the door and stopped listening.
At this time, Watergate walked in and asked Kushinai with some confusion, "What's wrong?" ā
Jiu Sinai reacted suddenly, shook his head, and turned his gaze: "No, it's nothing. ā
She shouted to the uncle who was idle at the counter, "Uncle, I want two balls!" ā
"Okay!"
The uncle happily turned to the kitchen at the back, and Mizumon and Kushina also found a table to sit down. Normally, Kushina would look for more secluded places, and she hated being noticed for her hair, even though it was difficult. But today, she consciously or unintentionally chose a location where she could observe those two people.
Those are two people who don't seem to be a good match. One is a boy who looks about the same age as Kushina, and the other is a pregnant woman, but the two can talk happily, which makes Kushina a little envious. She can't communicate well with others, many people in the school are annoying, and there are very few people who can be called friends except Watergate.
The sound of conversation continued to reach Kushina's ears.
"I'm so old, I always like to eat sweet things like meatballs, I'm really not shy? I always let Shuomao's seniors come and line up with the children to buy ...... If I were Shuomao's senior, I would definitely be embarrassed! ā
"Hmph, because Shuo Mao loves me, so I don't feel embarrassed!"
"Hey, here we go again, goosebumps are up."
"Envy my relationship with Shuo Mao? Then you go find Sister Qianji. Eh, hehe, I haven't asked yet, after staying on the front line for so long, hasn't the relationship warmed up? Isn't there any emotional exchange between life and death? ā
"What...... Don't talk nonsense. ā
Kushina and Mizumon glanced at each other, their eyes full of surprise and horror.
"That guy looks about the same age as us, right?" Kushina asked, somewhat uncertain.
Mizumon nodded affirmatively: "It should be." ā
"Listen to him, did he come back from the battlefield of the Land of Rain? Is he already qualified to go to war? Obviously, we still have a month to go before our graduation exams! Kushina's eyes were puzzled and confused.
At this time, Ming Yuan turned his head slightly and looked over. Although Watergate and Kushina were talking in a low voice, how could they hide it from his ears.
When he saw that it was Jiu Sinai and Mizumon's hair color, although he couldn't recognize the faces of the two, Ming Yuan still reacted in an instant.
"It turned out to be the fourth generation couple in the future, and now it's still so young, about the same age as me......" A slightly strange feeling rose in his heart, Ming Yuan's originally emotionless gaze softened, and he even nodded towards Shuimen and Jiu Xinnai.
Just now, the moment Ming Yuan turned his head, both Shuimen and Jiu Sinai were stiff, as if they were falling into an ice cave. It wasn't until Ming Yuan's gaze softened and he nodded to them that Mizumon and Jiu Sinai felt their bodies relax.
"It's scary...... It's so strong......" Watergate muttered.
Jiu Sinai nodded, with a look of disbelief on his face: "It's obviously an age, but a look makes me feel like I can't move, it's so strong......"
Ming Yuan turned his gaze, and Ying looked at him indifferently.
Ming Yuan turned his gaze to his plate, then looked up at Ying, and then looked down at the plate.
He held out his hand: "Take it out." ā
Ying looked at Ming Yuan with an innocent face: "What? What do you take out? ā
Ming Yuan sighed, and then said, "Under the table, in the palm of your hand, there are three strings of balls." ā
Ying's eyes were watery, and her eyes were full of innocent and pitiful looks: "Woo...... Don't rob my balls......"
Ming Yuan had a cold face: "First, it's on my plate, and you've already eaten your share." Second, the meatballs are too sweet, eating too much is not good for your health, Shuo Mao's predecessors told me, I can't let you eat too much. ā
Ying's face was full of frustration: "Ah, my balls...... Woo, I really can't help it, I can only hand you over, don't blame me......"
Mizumon and Kushina, who were sitting nearby, couldn't help but laugh, and watched as Ying reluctantly handed over the balls like a child.
"Sister Ying, it's time to go."
"Woo, my balls, I'll come to see you again!"
"Sister Ying, you didn't pay the bill."
"Huh? Shouldn't it be a man who pays the bill? ā
"......" Mingyuan touched his pocket, which was empty. Only then did he remember that in the Land of Rain before, all his money was left to Xiao Nan's family, "Huh...... You don't have any money, don't you have any money? ā
"I didn't bring it......"
Ming Yuan and Ying looked at each other, embarrassed, embarrassed by capitalization.
Jiu Sinai covered her mouth and smiled: "That, if you don't mind, I'll help you cushion it first." ā
The corners of Shuimen's mouth were also smiling, and he looked at the reckless Ming Yuan and Ying with a good smile.
Ming Yuan touched his head awkwardly, then nodded.
"Thank you very much, it helped a lot."
