Rain.

All the way down.

It's huge.

It's as if you're going to rinse everything off.

Because it's dirty.

The world seems to be full of filth and darkness, so that those who are looking forward to growing up really grow up and begin to miss that carefree childhood again.

You don't have to think about anything then.

How nice.

It's a pity that I can't go back to that time, even if there is really any rebirth or something, childhood is no longer the original childhood, and the original childhood can only be a good memory.

Thirteen years old.

It is a girl in the flowering season.

Yamanaka Ino.

Childhood has not completely left her, and it is still a long time before she grows up, and at this time it is like a flower that has not yet bloomed, like an apple that has not yet matured.

It's a shy, youthful girlhood.

"Brother Qingming."

The time she spent with Qingming can be said to be the shortest among several girls, and it is not at all as close as Tiantian and Hinata Hinata, and the relationship is not so close.

Why?

I want to find a reason, but in the end I find that it doesn't seem to be, sometimes there is no reason to like someone, but there are thousands of reasons to hate someone.

Really like?

Well......

Maybe.

I feel like this kind of thing is really hard to say, but I don't hate Qingming, and sometimes I want to stay with Qingming, even if I don't do anything, I can be very happy.

Likes are certain.

However, it's hard to say whether it's the kind of "sister" that she likes for her "brother", or the kind of love that she likes for a teenager as a girl.

"What's wrong?"

Qingming is still full of smiles, which never seems to have changed, this smile is very sunny, very bright, and easy to make people feel close.

However, as long as you get along for a long time, no matter who you can notice, there is always something missing in that smile, although no one can say the specifics.

Neither can Ino in the mountains.

"Nothing."

She also smiled, looking very happy, and went to pull up a chair and sat down in front of the counter, supporting her head with her hands, looking at Qingming.

I don't want to say anything, I don't want to do anything, and sometimes, it's nice to be able to look at someone so closely, maybe she's a fool.

“？”

Qingming tilted his head slightly and looked at her, not quite understanding what this girl wanted to do, but as long as he didn't disturb him reading the novel, it didn't matter.

He likes to be quiet.

So,As long as he can be quiet.,He doesn't care about other things.,If it's noisy.,Even if it's a Lori.,He'll kick her out.。

Although it's rare for Lori to come to the coffee shop here, it used to be Tiantian, Hinata Hinata and others, but now it's Hinata Hanabi, and there is nothing else.

It's obviously a Lolita control.,But there's really little Lori I know.。

Keep reading.

Long.

Qingming suddenly raised his head again, and met the eyes of Yamanaka Ino, successfully making the girl's face blush, her eyes shifted, and then she mustered up the courage to look at him.

"Ino, do you have any missions lately?"

"Nope."

The girl shook her head.

Although he is already a ninja, ninjas are not doing tasks every day, especially for the new generation of ninjas, who have to have time to cultivate.

They still have a lot to learn, although going out on a mission can be a good way to increase their actual combat experience, but there are still some things that need to be calmed down and learn slowly.

And going out on missions all the time can be physically and mentally exhausting, so proper rest is also a must, and the ninja profession is also very hard.

"No, it's just that you can come and study with me, I've known you for so many years, it's time to teach you something powerful, it's very powerful."

"Yes."

Yamanaka Ino agreed without hesitation.

Terrible?

It doesn't matter.

The important thing is to be able to be with Qingming, although there are other people, but they are all people who know each other, so it doesn't matter, everyone is the same.

……

The rain is still falling.

This sudden heavy rain also prevented Qingming's teaching plan from going smoothly, so they had to ask Haruno Sakura and Mute to memorize more drug information.

That's why he has time to stay in the coffee shop, sit at the counter as usual, drink tea and read novels, and maybe sigh about life by the way.

But no.

Yamanaka Ino had already left, leaving in the heavy rain, probably because she couldn't wait to explain the situation to her father and mother and let her study with Qingming.

The Yamanaka clan has their own secret ninjutsu, and they don't need to learn it from others.

It's better not to learn either.

Because people's energy is limited, most people can only focus on a certain thing, half-heartedly want to learn everything, and in the end they just can't learn anything well.

The all-rounder?

Inexistent.

Although some people do know a lot of things, they are not all-powerful, and they live to learn all the time, and there are many things in the world that need to be constantly learned.

For example, Qingming.

He has been learning, no one to guide him, he can only rely on his own continuous groping and progress, to achieve today's achievements, all by his own efforts.

It's just a coffee shop owner.

"The shopkeeper."

Hinata walked over to the counter.

Recently, she is the only one doing things in the coffee shop, and Shiro stays at Satomiyaka Villa and lives with Kurama Yakumo, and Kiyoshi asks her to take care of Kurama Yakumo.

Jin was still on Orochimaru's side at this time, and he wouldn't be back for at least two years, and Qingming asked her to do something, although it was probably just a whim.

Qingming is always like this.

Sometimes, something fun suddenly comes to mind, so I do it, and then I suddenly lose interest in doing it, and that thing is gone.

God knows if he will care about Jin then, maybe after a while, he will forget all about Jin, and then one day he suddenly remembers, so he continues to play.

That's not to mention for now.

“？”

Raising his head, he looked at Hinata Natsu who was standing in front of him with some doubts, this maid lady rarely took the initiative to talk to him, what is the situation today?

"Asha, what's the matter? Are you thinking about marrying me? ”

“……”

She knows.

Although she had known it for a long time, what Qingming said still made her a little speechless and a little helpless, this shopkeeper has always been like this, and has never changed.

But has it really not changed?

It's hard to say.

The only thing that is certain is that she still doesn't like the shopkeeper very much, and although she works as a maid for Qingming here, it's just a job.

"I want to know what you think."

“？”

"About Hinata-sama, about Hanabi-sama, I want to know what you think."

"Oh."

Qingming nodded.

This maid lady really likes Hinata Hinata and Hinata Hanabi, is it because she has been taking care of them so she treats them as daughters? Or is it a sister?

Or do you have any impure thoughts about the two eldest ladies?

It's possible.

After all, there are so many people in the world, and there are always 99.999 percent of people whose orientation is not normal, maybe Hinata Xia is one of them.

But what does it mean to ask this suddenly?

"How?"

Qingming looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Asha, are you trying to persuade me to stay away from them? Just like Hyuga Patriarch, I have to remind you that this is doomed. ”

He likes the two sisters very much, and treats them as his "private property", which is not allowed to be touched by others, and it is impossible to "discard" them at will.

Don't care about anything?

Impossible.

People will always have things they care about, things they care about, and people they care about, and they don't seem to care about anything, just because they care differently from others.

What does he care about?

What does Hinata Natsu care about?

It's hard to say.
