Classes went to class as usual in the morning, and at noon, Kakashi dragged Yu to buy something on the way to the hospital, and took it to the hospital to have lunch with Sakumo.

Shuo Mao's complexion was much better than what he had seen before—he had been accidentally poisoned before, but it wasn't the kind that had a particularly fast attack, and now that he had recovered most of it, he would have to wait for a while to completely clear it.

He listened quietly to Kakashi as he talked about what had happened this morning, what the morning classes were like, what he had done on the way here.

Kakashi's words were so bad that he began to wonder if his son had been dropped.

Yutomo didn't say a word, only Kakashi said over there, and when he was about to say goodbye, he grabbed the time to say goodbye to his father, and then Kakashira walked to class.

It was those classes in the afternoon, and Yu complained to Rin, who was close to her, during her own running time, but Lynn just smiled when she heard it.

Yu at night plans to go home to live today, but is dragged back to Hagi's house by Kakashi.

Halfway through their dinner, Shuo Mao returned home.

Looks like nothing is going on.

"Father."

Kakashi shoved the spoon into Yu's hand and ran to Sakumo, twisting the ties of his apron.

Yu turned the heat to the minimum, put down the spoon, and ran in front of Shuo Mao.

Shuo Mao smiled at Yu first, then looked at Kakashi.

He suddenly felt as if he had another daughter.

This mood ...... I don't know how to describe it.

"I'm fine, let you worry about it, just rest for a while and you'll be fully recovered."

Sakumo raised both hands and rubbed their hair at the same time, and lifted his feet to walk towards the kitchen, when Kakashi grabbed his waist.

"Father is waiting at the table......

Kakashi then pushed Yuya to the table and ran back to the kitchen and locked the door.

Shuo Mao felt that his son might really be a fake, and he looked helplessly at Yu, who was also confused.

"Let's talk before we eat...... Do you want to know what I'm doing on this mission? If you are only told outside of the mission, it should be fine. ”

Shuo Mao sat on a small cushion in front of the dining table, put his hands on his knees, and looked at Yu like a Buddha.

“………… Well, okay, I'm curious indeed. ”

Yu scratched his head.

She always felt that there was something wrong with what Shuo Mao had just said.

"I'm here to leave the village to investigate at the request of Hokage-sama, and I'm not sure what the other party's purpose is, so Hokage-sama asked me to hide myself and try not to be discovered——...... But maybe because I relaxed too long before the mission, or maybe because I carefully investigated the cause for nearly a month, I was found last week, but there were still some things that were not done at that time, so I didn't come back immediately - fortunately it wasn't the kind of poison that would attack in an instant, after all, I couldn't easily be treated by them over there. ”

Shuo Mao looked at the ceiling of his house with emotion.

The floor was clean but ...... Well...... There seems to be a lot of dust in the cracks of the lamp?

…… It seems that they didn't clean the top properly, so the roof ......

Sakumo looked at it for a moment, and it wasn't until a few minutes later that Kakashi brought out the rice cooker that had been turned off, and he came back to his senses.

- "Ahem, where's that?" …… Yes, it was the last days, and the timing of my acceptance of this mission may not have been a coincidence, but I happened to encounter an important event that happened on the other side, so when they found out about me, they thought I did it, and began to hunt me down, and it took me a long time to get rid of them, but unfortunately I was poisoned in the last few pursuits...... By the way, Yu, there's something I wanted to ask you when I left Konoha. ”

Shuo Mao got up slightly and moved backwards, turned to face Yu's direction, put away the unfocused look just now, and looked at Yu's eyes very seriously...... And a little bit of blushing.

“……”

Yuya stepped back a little.

[This person isn't going to confess, is he??] ]

Yu tried hard to think about how to refuse him, but after thinking of less than four options, Shuo Mao opened his mouth again.

"I wasn't sure how it was, but now ...... I probably know. ”

Shuo Mao is so serious that in Yu's eyes, he really looks like 'confessing to others with the determination that he may not be ignored again for the rest of his life'.

"Know, know what? Know you...... Do you actually like me? ”

Yu looked at him in shock.

- "Didn't you say you wouldn't like someone other than Kakashi's Asaha so you can't respond to me?? ”

Kakashi, who was holding the small plate of the assembled dishes, stumbled and threw the dish out without holding it.

The plate fell on the table, but it didn't break, but the minced ginger and garlic and mixed green vegetables all fell on Yuhe Shuomao's body.

Among them, Yu has the largest amount on his body.

"Ah......... Ahh ”

Yu's face was a little muddy with ginger and garlic, and he quickly stretched out his hands to block his face, and fell to the ground and sneezed loudly.

"Ahem, what's that...... I'll talk to you alone in the evening. ”

The smile on Shuo Mao's face was not ordinary embarrassment, and he quickly got up to get something and sweep around the table.

The rice cooker is not open, so the rice is not affected, so it is safe.

After Kakashi brought out all the utensils and dishes, he returned to the silence of the previous quarrel, and ended his dinner without saying a word and eating very little.

Then he ran back to his room, and locked the door and the door to the cloister.

Yu, who respects the old but doesn't love the young very much, can only hold down Shuo Mao, who is seriously injured and has just recovered from dinner, to clean up the table by himself after everyone at the table has finished dinner.

Shuo Mao finished taking a shower while Yu was washing the dishes, and after changing into pajamas, he lay down on the several floor mats that were put together, looking very happy.

[Maybe I haven't taken a shower much in the past month]

Yu saw Shuo Mao, who was just taking a bath, and could only come up with this reason.

Yu then went to take a shower and got two glasses of water, one of which was ice water mixed with sugar, and planned to listen and drink it later.

It's a pity that there was no popcorn.

[…… Well, there shouldn't be anything choking on. ]

She had just opened her mouth before her brain could react.

Yu entered the room with a water glass, and Shuo Mao had already laid out the quilt, but only his own.

Because Yu's quilt is still on Kakashi's side.

Shuo Shigeru was sitting, and Yu brought the water cup in front of him and sat down casually.

…… Because if they are all sitting, they are still facing each other...... It feels weirder than it was just now.

"Yu, then I'll just say it."

Shuo Mao took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

“…… I'm listening. ”

Yu didn't know what expression to make, so he collapsed.

"You...... It's the princess who has been lost in the country of wind for many years, right? ”

Shuo Mao pursed his lips after asking, and looked at Yu more seriously than before.

“…… Well, I thought you liked me - well, it looks like you're out on a mission to investigate me. ”

Yu returned to his normal expression, took a sip of his sweet water, and smiled.

- "Well, I am. ”
