"You...... I'm thinking about it very seriously. ”

The kite looked at me, but a smile gradually spread in her dark eyes.

"I can feel that you are taking this very seriously."

"Isn't that the way it should be?" I was a little surprised, wondering why she seemed so happy," ...... When it comes to having a baby, can you just say yes? ”

"......" The kite didn't speak, but looked at me and laughed slowly.

"What's wrong......

"It's nothing, it's just," Kite paused and said with a smile, "I feel that I am valued and cherished by you." So...... I can't help but feel happy. ”

“…… Are you a fool? I couldn't help but look at her with some reproach, "Since you want to be valued and cherished, don't you always casually show a 'I'm a sinner, so it's okay to do anything'?" ”

"Originally...... It's true that I don't have any expectations for my future life," Hearing me say this, the kite lowered her eyes, and the smile on her face gradually faded, showing a little loneliness, "I always thought to myself, if even people like me can be happy, it would be a little too unfair to others......"

Just when I suddenly felt that I had just said too much because of her fragile appearance, the kite raised her face again, looked at me and said softly, "But, if it's a ferret, I will unconsciously think, 'I may be allowed to get a little tenderness in myself.'" Maybe I'm too dependent on you...... But...... You've denied it. ”

I never thought that the kite would have such an idea, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "...... I don't mean to dismiss you. ”

"You don't understand, Itachi......" Kite sighed softly, "Although my reputation has been temporarily restored in the village, my ninja number has been cancelled, which means that I can't perform tasks like ordinary ninjas." Even if I submit an application and recover, but- not to mention that I'm tired of fighting, just as a teammate, who can trust me? I'm ...... Someone who can even get his hands on his loved ones.

If a normal ninja can't do it, there's no way to enter the shadows anymore - it's hard for the village to trust me. As a ninja, maybe I'm worthless, Zona...... I don't seem to be needed much, and sometimes when I'm doing housework at home, I can't help but think about it...... What is the purpose of my current existence? After thinking about it, I found the meaning of my existence, and what I could do—that is, to dedicate everything I had to the Uchiha clan.

But don't you disagree with the duty to give birth to offspring? Other than that, I really don't know what the purpose of my existence is.

Maybe I'm not fit to live such a peaceful life, and a person who is covered with sin is fit to die in battle. ”

"Don't say that," I didn't expect her to think so much, and subconsciously frowned and retorted, "I actually said that maybe it's better to die...... So what should I do with Zonai's position? ”

The kite was silent for a while, and said a little bitterly: "Yes...... Itachi's end in the other world was to die, because there were still unfulfilled wishes, and it was only when he came to this world that my fate changed...... However, I felt that the fate of the Itachi, that is, my original destiny, might be the best. This thought was probably too rude for Itachi, so I never said it. ”

“……”

I was suddenly speechless, which made the kite feel a little strange, her eyes widened slightly, and she was a little overwhelmed and said, "What's wrong?" ”

“…… I wondered, maybe it's my fault......? ”

"Huh?"

…… The ending of the ferret, because it is the ending decided by the original author after many considerations, is indeed a ...... in a way The perfect ending, right?

Therefore, it is only natural that the kite would be so confused.

As a result, for personal reasons, I completely messed up the original story line.

Although I don't regret it, and I don't think it's right to do nothing in the past and just blindly follow the original story, because everyone is already creating their own story just by existing, but I didn't notice that bringing the kite back is not the most difficult thing.

- After bringing her back, helping her get on the right track is the most difficult.

I ignored this completely, and instead thought that as long as she came back, everything would be fine.

“…… I'm sorry I didn't take responsibility for bringing you back. Leaving you aside all the time, just thinking about your own business, completely unaware that you need help......"

"......" This time the kite was silent, she looked at me and whispered, "So, you are willing to help?" ”

“……”

"Ah, from your expression, you can see the fierce struggle and vacillation."

“…… I guess I'm expressionless. ”

Hearing me say this, the kite smiled brightly, "But, maybe because you are me, even if others can't see your emotions, I can feel it more or less inexplicably." Before, although you were always expressionless, I just felt that you were embarrassed and troubled, and then you kept avoiding me, right? ”

“……”

"Looks like there's no way to refute it."

“…… Not. ”

I didn't know what kind of expression I had since there was no mirror, but after looking at me for a while, I smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go home first." ”

I rarely see her laughing, she always seems melancholy and lonely, her eyes are always out of focus, as if she is always looking at something far away.

Therefore, seeing her smile at this moment is like the sky that is always full of dark clouds and lead clouds hanging low, and finally a rare clear sky is revealed, and a piece of sunshine is sprinkled, which is ...... Feeling cherished?

We headed back towards the Uchiha house, but halfway through, Kite paused and said he was going to buy something and walked into the convenience store.

"Is there anything missing from the house?" I waited outside for her to come out and asked casually.

The kite replied calmly, "Well, it's not a common thing, but if it's prepared, it should be more in case of emergency." ”

I asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

The kite tilted her head unconsciously, as if thinking about it, she occasionally unconsciously revealed this very cute little action, and because she was completely unaware, it was even more cute.

She smiled and said, "-I'll tell you when I get home." ”

And when we returned to the Uchiha House, the black soil had already returned.

He was cooking in the kitchen, and when he saw me, he immediately shouted in dissatisfaction: "Itachi!! It's so cunning! Since you're back, it's time for you to cook!? ”

I stiffened my breath and said, "No." ”

"Damn! Then you wash the dishes! ”

"Nope."

"Hey!! After all, I'm supposed to be a guest, huh?! ”

"Scorpion," he said, but there was some truth to it, so I looked at the red-haired girl in the cloister and said, "Be a puppet that washes the dishes automatically, right?" ”

"Huh?!" Hearing this, the scorpion turned his head very unhappily and glared at me, "What did you do with my puppet??" ”

Without thinking, I replied, "A great invention for the benefit of mankind." ”

The scorpion suddenly showed a look as if it was choked: "......"

And Dida was making fireworks in the backyard, and seemed to be greatly encouraged by the order of the Hyuga family, and almost forgot to sleep and eat.

When it was time for the official meal, I was a little puzzled, "Isn't Zana coming back?" ”

"Ah, Itachi doesn't know." "Today is the weekend, so Zana and his friends went out for the night. ”

Ahh

I remembered that Naruko did say that they had made an appointment to come to the Uchiha house on Friday to train together, and then go to a hot spring inn with Class 10 on the weekend.

It turned out to be today.

At this time, Heitu looked at me and said, "Speaking of which, how long can the ferret stay this time?" ”

Before I could speak, the kite had already spoken in advance and replied to me, "He stayed for the night today." ”
