"What?" I subconsciously tried to play dumb.

And the kite did not speak.

Granny Chiyo looked at us with a scrutinizing gaze and said, "...... Shouldn't you be the same person? Will you have trouble with yourself? ”

"Yes," the kite whispered, "it's ...... with herself."

Maybe she was just casually feeling, but it was as if she was reproaching me for not obeying her wishes.

“…… Nor can it be so simple and crudely generalized. I couldn't help but interrupt her: "Even if it is theoretically a projection of another world, but since it is an independent individual, it does not mean that there are no boundaries. ”

"I just thought you understood me."

"I can understand you, but that doesn't mean I have to accept it."

After arguing with the kite for a while, the two of us realized that Chiyo's mother-in-law was still on the side, and suddenly paused.

"Oops," she said, with a surprised and playful look as if she had seen a wonderful play, "is there really a quarrel?" For what? ”

Although I knew that Chiyo's mother-in-law had no malicious intentions, I didn't want to be watched, so I had to be embarrassed: "...... Let's take our leave. ”

…… Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi's face will never have such a forced look of "embarrassment".

He's always either expressionless, expressionless, or expressionless.

I grabbed the kite by the wrist and took her out of the parlor with her.

It wasn't until he walked into the street that the kite lowered his eyes and looked at his wrist: "I thought you didn't want to touch me." ”

I let go of my hand, sighed, and said, "...... There is no such thing. ”

"Because you are a man, am I a woman? So even if it's the same person...... It's so difficult to get to know each other? ”

“…… Perhaps. ”

"Isn't it okay for anyone to be a man?"

The Uchiha Kite suddenly said this, which startled me.

- She doesn't look like someone who would say such a thing.

I couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because a lot of people around me have said that since I was a child, haven't they? It's not just girls who say this, but men themselves often get complacent, saying, "Don't send it to the door, don't do it in vain," and "After you turn off the lights, it's the same no matter who it is"? And the man who saw it...... And most of the time. ”

"When did you see the man?"

“…… After leaving Konoha. ”

I disagreed: "As a rebellious occasion, there are not many good men you can meet." ”

"Hmm...... You say that, and it makes sense. The kite lowered her eyes and thought, "So, what kind of man is ......?" ”

“…… Suddenly asked? ”

"Because I haven't had much contact with men. From childhood to adulthood, in addition to his father, there may be only one familiar man. Maybe it's because I'm so ignorant that you're so unacceptable...... So, if I knew what a man really looked like, would our relationship improve a little bit? You guys...... Is there anything different between what you think about and what you think about and a girl? ”

She was so genuinely puzzled that I didn't know how to answer. “……”

The first thing that came to my mind was a picture-

The man and the woman are lying in the same bed, the man thinks, damn it, I lost the game again today, while the woman on the other side thinks to herself, his reaction is so cold, he really doesn't love me anymore.

Besides, even if there are really objective differences, different men and different women have very different personalities, how can it be possible to simply divide them and summarize them in one word?

…… So, how do you explain this?

Seeing that I didn't speak, I frowned a little troubledly, and the kite continued: "Because ...... You see, it's always easy for men to understand what women look like, because girls always have a time to let their guard off, don't they? However, it seems that it is difficult for women to understand what men are thinking - because the world always says that boys should be strong, boys should not cry, boys should look like boys, etc., so men are always very good at pretending. Easily refusing to show weakness, even if it feels painful, it always endures desperately, as if confiding in others means weakness...... It's rare to be willing to show your vulnerability. Girls' tears are always seen, but ...... If you see a man's tears, it's a terrible thing. ”

"I don't know." After listening to her words, I was silent for a long time, and finally I could only sigh and reply, "Although I am a man, I can only answer this question on my own behalf." I have no way of telling you what other men are like. ”

"Okay." The kite said, "Tell me, what are you like?" ”

"First of all, there are of course many men who treat women casually and dismissively, and there are many guys who like to be complacent and brag everywhere - this kind of person may have too many mouths and tongues, which directly lowers the reputation of the whole man. However, there are definitely more good men who respect women and take them seriously. It's just that they don't usually come forward and say how great they are, so they are covered up by that kind of annoying man. ”

"Hmm." The kite nodded, and seemed to listen attentively.

"Secondly, the men who 'pull the lamp is the same for everyone' and 'don't send it to the door in vain' are also a bunch of fools. It is natural to feel that I am taking advantage of it, and I think I despise women without thinking about it at all - if I need to pull the lamp, will it be myself who is taken advantage of? The one who sent you to the door may just use you as a free piledriver, objectifying the other party at the same time, who knows how much you are despised in the other party's heart? 'This kind of man will be hooked casually', in the final analysis, what is there to be proud of in this kind of thing? Since respect is mutual, so is contempt for nature. ”

"Hmm."

"Finally."

"Huh?"

“…… I'm not as good as you think, kite. ”

After all, she trusts me so much because I am "Uchiha Itachi", and it doesn't matter if I usually get along, if I really take the shell of Uchiha Itachi and combine with her to have a child in order to revive the Uchiha family...... That's a bit too despicable.

"You are a very attractive girl, so one day, you will meet someone who cherishes you and you love from the bottom of your heart. You are not a tool, I am not a tool, and your children should not be tools. Born to revive the Uchiha clan, it sounds too cold and heartless...... Children, only when the love of their parents is born will they be happy, right? - Wouldn't it be cruel to decide to give birth to them without permission if you can't make them happy? ”

I looked at her, and suddenly poked her eyebrows with some evil taste: "So, I'm sorry, kite, forgive me this time." ”

However, when I tried to withdraw my fingers, she grabbed them.
