"Maitkai, Ebisu."

He called out the names of the two and took the initiative to approach the distance between them.

"Hello, Shiranui-san."

"Okay."

Kai replied in a friendly manner, but Ebisu was a little unhappy, staring at the other party's slightly more handsome face than himself, and said perfunctorily.

I don't know that Genma didn't realize Ebisu's emotions, or maybe he didn't care if he realized it.

His gaze was on Maitkai, who had been placed in the same group as them.

Maitkai, not a very impressive guy in terms of impressions.

Although I spent four years with them, I basically didn't cross paths with either of them.

The only thing worth caring about is that he suddenly applied for early graduation two years ago, and then succeeded.

Shinobi, who graduated at the age of seven, is more of an attitude of complete ignorance than being considered a genius or something.

But was he really just a fluke? I don't know that Genma was curious about this question.

"Maitkai, are you only here now? It's already late. ”

Does he care about that? Ebisu hadn't figured out the reason why they suddenly approached each other unexpectedly.

"Huh! Am I late? ”

"It's okay, we're in the same class, and the instructor hasn't come yet, even if you're late, he won't know."

Maitkai's panicked look doesn't look like he's pretending, so why is he late? While Ebisu comforted Kai absently, Genma was a little concerned about the reason why Maitkai would be late.

Because, in his memory, Maitkai doesn't look like a person who will be late, and he doesn't have the impression that he has been late once in four years, obviously a stupid person with too much blood and energy, he should have arrived a long time early, right?

"Isn't this the time? Brother Winter Night was worried that I would come too early, so he came with me. ”

"Brother Winter Night?"

Confused, Kai seemed to be a little unconvinced by the fact that he was late, and said something that made people care.

"Who are you talking about Brother Winter Night?"

"It must be that brother of yours who lied to you, he must not want you to be selected by the guide, what a narrow-minded guy."

I don't know that Genma asked about it, and Ebisu was a stranger he didn't know and was obviously not present since he thought he had seen through the criticism of reality at a glance.

"No, don't say bad things about Brother Winter Night, Brother Winter Night won't lie."

Although I don't know that Genma also agrees with Ebisu's speculation, it is better to say that most people think so, but Maitkai can't accept such a statement, and his face is flushed, showing an angry expression.

"Apologize, you have to apologize!"

"Okay, I apologize, can't I apologize? Take your face off my eyes. ”

Ebisu, who didn't think he had said anything wrong, immediately agreed with Maitkai's statement after a little endurance, it was entirely because Maitkai's body leaned forward too much, so that his ordinary face was too close to his own face.

Ebisu thinks that as a female lover, she has no idea of approaching the same sex who smells of sweat.

"Okay, I can apologize, but before then, where is the person I need to apologize to?"

"Huh?"

"That is, that winter night brother of yours, didn't he come with you? Where is he now? I can apologize to him! ”

Even if he wants to apologize, Ebisu feels that he needs to see that [Brother Winter Night] first, right, if he really looks like a liar, his dignity does not allow him to lie!

Ebisu looked at the watermelon head in front of him, and he turned around as if he had just reacted, and found that there were still only three people in the classroom, revealing a confused expression. Ebisu immediately felt that he was not in a good mood for the day.

"Eh, he was behind me just now? Could it be that Brother Winter Night, is he still running? ”

"You said keep running?"

I don't know that Huo Genma regretted talking to them a little, no, to be exact, talking to Maitkai was really a wrong choice.

"That's right, we've been running around Konoha Village since the morning."

"After Brother Winter Night overtook me before, he moved behind me, and later, he asked me to come here first."

"Running all the time?! Starting in the morning? ”

Thinking that when Kai first arrived, fine sweat oozed from his forehead, and he muttered to himself, but he had actually believed the other party's words.

"In that case, then forget it, since you have agreed to apologize, I don't think Brother Dongye will mind."

"Thank you so much."

"No thanks."

Ebisu smiled helplessly at Maitkai's words, and there was inevitably some cynicism between the words, but it was obvious that this didn't make sense to Maitkai at all.

"By the way, did you see Kakashi?"

Suddenly, Kai said the name of another person, looked around the classroom, and realized the reality that there were only three of them in the classroom, and Kai, who did not catch the person he wanted to see in his eyes, had a moment of frustration.

"Kakashi? He had left with his mentor Shangshinobu before. ”

"Do you know who his mentor Shinobi is? Lord Bo Feng Shuimen, that's the apprentice of one of the three ninjas, Jiraiya, I'm really envious. ”

Shiranui Genma and Ebisu, who didn't notice this detail, inadvertently led the topic to Kakashi's guidance, Shinobi, and Ha Feng Shuimon.

Of course, although Ebisu said envy in his words, there was a wordless sadness in his eyes, for a girl who was taken away together.

"Is that so? Then I must not lose to him! ”

"Anyway, hasn't our mentor Shinobi arrived yet?"

Kai, who has strengthened his will, and Ebisu, who has been waiting for a long time and began to complain, said different things at the same time.

And then.

"Our guide is shinobi?"

"I know he's there!"

"Huh?!" 、

Explosive speeches suddenly erupted from Kai's mouth, causing both Shiranui Genma and Ebisu to make their voices involuntarily.

"In the hallway where I got here, I saw a man wearing a fox mask, and he said he was my mentor Shangshinobi."

"And let me come to the classroom and ask you to go to the playground to find him."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"yes, why didn't you say it earlier!"

Even if he's a little more handsome than me!

Even if he's sullen and!

Faced with Kai, who calmly explained the facts, Shiranui Genma and Ebisu stood on the united front for the first time in a real sense.

"I didn't have a chance to say it before, but you asked me strange questions as soon as I came in."

"If you say something so important earlier, we won't ask you questions!"

"Don't talk nonsense, let's all hurry up, otherwise we may be scolded later."

Ebisu was about to babble and complain, but he didn't know that Genma had already moved first, and he urged in front of the classroom door when he had narrowed the distance.
