Mr. Jiraiya, who stayed at the inn, was very idle.

After he finished soaking in the hot springs, he walked around in a yukata, and from time to time he ran to the front desk to talk to Zhao Fenghong, who had just joined the company. Because he appears so often, even the part-time girl who is in charge of washing the floor knows the name of this guest.

"Miss Asami, have you ever been to the Land of Fire before?"

"I've been."

"Do you know my student Watergate, and Kushina?"

"Recognize. There have been several faces. ”

"What a coincidence, I met a student's friend in a foreign land alone, would you like to have a drink together?"

“…… I'm at work, Mr. Jiraiya. ”

"That's right." Jiraiya touched his chin: "I thought you would be enthusiastic about me." For some reason, I always feel that I have an inexplicable familiarity with you. Maybe we've already met when you came to the Land of Fire. ”

Miss Hayano, a part-time colleague holding a mop, leaned over to Terukaede's ear and said, "This kind of 'you're so familiar' is a man's routine. When he meets ten women, he will say this to ten women. The next sentence is, 'You're familiar with me like my girlfriend.'" Can't you be more sincere and less routine? ”

Zhao Fenghong smirked - she would also have a sense of familiarity with her, maybe...... It's true......?

"That's right, Mr. Jiraiya." Zhao Fenghong asked, "You are very good at describing the love affair between a man and a woman, right?" I'd like to ask about it...... What does it feel like to be 'liked' in its purest form? ”

Jiraiya closed his eyes and pondered, looking extremely serious. After pondering for a long time, he smiled confidently and said, "Pure 'like' is the attraction to each other, and the unaware that you care very much about someone." Even if he is rejected countless times, is knocked flying, breaks his ribs, and gets stuck in a stone with a punch, he will continue to pursue it persistently. ”

Maple Red: ......

Mr. Jiraiya's love is really terrible!!

"Hey, I have one more question." Zhao Fenghong said: "After Miss Tengshu Mika leaves Qingtai, will she still miss him on the road?" ”

"Oh, Mika." Jiraiya replied, "Of course I miss it." The man you fall in love with for the first time will inevitably leave a deep memory. I'm afraid I missed and missed it countless times on the way out. ”

What he said was very reasonable, and Zhao Fenghong was speechless.

A man who likes an ascending man for the first time will inevitably leave a deep memory. I'm afraid that on the way out, I will miss and miss countless times.

"Hey! Lustful fairy-" A vigorous voice broke the philosophical ♂ conversation between the two, and Naruto, who was barefoot in a bathrobe, poked his head out of the stairs with some annoyance: "You asked me to help you transcribe, but I was here to chat leisurely with the beautiful big sister, it's a bit too much!" ”

"I'm looking for material, Naruto." The lustful fairy had no consciousness of being lazy and being caught, he took out a booklet very calmly, took out a pen from Zhao Fenghong's hand, and began to write something down, and read while writing: "The ninety-second time, the bosom beauty I met in the hot spring hotel. I haven't tasted love, and I feel yearning for love. …… Miss Asami Kokubo. ”

Writing this, his brows furrowed, and the pages of the book turned forward: "The prototype of Teng Shu Mika seems to be also called Asami." …… Ah, strange, I can't find it, probably not in this notebook. There are so many people named Asami. ”

Jiraiya was also half-dragged and half-dragged away by Naruto, and Zhao Fenghong calmly watched as one big and one small naturally stayed up the stairs.

There weren't many guests at the hot spring inn, and after staying for two days, Jiraiya left with his student Naruto. Until the time of check-out, he was still warmly inviting Zhao Fenghong to have a drink with him. Less than a month later, as Kaede had guessed, she met Uchiha Itachi again.

How do you say that--ah, anyway, every time you leave, fate will arrange the next encounter.

This small town on the border of a small country is really dangerous, and the people who are sent to us are all big people whose names are hidden.

"Teacher, I thought you were going to work at the school." The ghost shark who appeared at the door of the hotel said: "I didn't expect to be so down-and-out that I worked in a hotel." If I had known, I wouldn't have driven you away...... It's pathetic. ”

- What do you know, shark spirit! Do you understand the taste of the gods?

"This guy always walks here in silence." The oni shark squinted at the Itachi beside him and said, "At first, I didn't understand the reason, and even tried to correct his course. Now, though, I finally understand why he went down this path anyway. …… Can I not register my name? ”

"Need to overpay for housing." Miss Hayano, a colleague beside Terukaede, replied without changing her face.

Occasionally, the guests passing by will have an identity that cannot be explained, and there is not much to do without asking questions and investigating carefully, which is the way for people in the town to protect themselves.

"Can't it be free?" The ghost shark smiled and showed a row of fangs: "We are the family of this front desk lady." ”

"Family?" Hayano looked at Terukae red suspiciously.

"Whoa...... Almost. Zhao Fenghong's eyes drifted towards the ceiling: "Student...... Ah, no, a relationship that is more distant than a husband. ”

"Boyfriend." Hayano understood: "Then you don't have to pay extra for housing. But you still need to pay for the house. …… By the way, which one is? ”

"What do you say??" Zhao Fenghong was incredulous: "Could it be the shark?" ”

"Oh, I see." Miss Hayano frowned slightly, "Asami is really dangerous." Dangerous love attracts dangerous people. ――Let's stay with your 'family' tonight, and I'll be in charge of the front desk. ”

Miss Hayano's empathy made Terukaede feel very frightened.

The ghost shark who stayed in the hotel no longer had the surprise of meeting Zhao Fenghong for the first time, and began to find fun in her very familiarly, such as laughing at the uniform worn by Zhao Fenghong and the uniform of the hotel.

"Do I know you well? Mr. Oni Shark. Zhao Fenghong retorted unceremoniously: "Don't think I'm gentle, in fact, I will lose my temper." ”

"I know Mr. Itachi very well, and Mr. Itachi knows the teacher very well, and that's enough. Life is fun, isn't it? The oni shark said, walking towards the hotel room: "I'll go and rest first, and by the way, see if there are any ninjas from the Fog Hidden Assassination Force or troublesome ninjas from Konoha Village who live next door." ”

In the clean corridor, only Itachi and Zhao Fenghong were left.

It's already summer, and the temperature is already rising in this town with abundant hot springs. And the Uchiha Itachi is still wearing...... A thick, hot red cloud robe on a black background, wearing a black undershirt inside, and tightly wrapped around his feet. Zhao Fenghong was really worried that Itachi would faint on the ground due to heat stroke.

"Teacher, why are you ...... again" Uchiha Itachi had a rare change in expression: "Part-time job? ”

"What's the matter, can't you?" It's a little strange to shine on the maple red.

"Nope." Itachi said: "According to my understanding of the teacher - he is good at the transformation of time and space, can erase the memories of shadow-level ninjas with a technique similar to hypnosis, and can freely change the shape of his body, such a powerful ability is enough to make the teacher live a good life." Why do you have to force yourself to work at the bottom every time? ”

"Isn't that weird?" Zhao Fenghong replied: "Because I live at the bottom, no one will doubt my identity." The more noticeable and powerful it is, the more troublesome it will be. ”

"......" Itachi didn't speak, probably agreeing with this sentence.

Zhao Fenghong suddenly laughed and said, "Itachi-kun is still the same as when he was a child." The other students in the class were all scared and impatient with me, but Itachi-kun liked to take the initiative to find me. Now, you still like to come to me on your own initiative. ”

Is it because there is nothing left but her?

She knows the truth of Yiqiē, is willing to believe in Itachi unconditionally, and is willing to treat him as before.

This kind of mood should be able to be received by Uchiha Itachi, right?

The past of Konoha Ninja Village has become a memory, and all relatives and families have vanished, carrying a reputation for betrayal of ninja. The only one who would accept him, who traveled from the past...... She was the only one left.

No, maybe one more.

"Have you visited Sasuke?" Zhao Fenghong asked softly, "I know, you left his life." ”

"Hmm." Itachi nodded, "It's a bit tricky, but I'll fix it." ”

Itachi's situation is definitely not an ordinary tricky, and Sasuke's situation is probably not so good. Thinking of the little Shota who was always puffing out his face and snatching his brother, Zhao Fenghong had the urge to sigh - but she couldn't do that.

Try not to mention it, try to just look at the present, and try to make Itachi's guilt lighter. Carefully avoiding the wound was what she was supposed to do.

"Don't worry." Zhao Fenghong said, "If you need to, I can modify Sasuke's memory." ”

"There's no need." Itachi refused: "I've already thought about it." ”

"It's always like this." Zhao Fenghong supported her forehead with the back of her hand: "Since I was a child, I have been very sensible and refuse help from others." When I grow up, I'm more independent, and I really miss Itachi-kun sitting softly on the swing when he was a child, saying 'I like the teacher'. The small belly is white and tender, and the arms are slender and long, like a cotton flower cutely. ”

"Do you miss it?"

"Of course."

"So......" Uchiha Itachi's eyes half closed, and he brushed the hair in front of Terukaede's forehead and kissed her forehead. It's just gently leaning against it, but time is incredibly slow. Fifteen long seconds passed, and he spoke in this position, his soft lips brushing his forehead.

“…… I like the teachers. ”

Man, can't you be more sincere and less routine?
