“……”

“……”

We stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and we stared at each other with one eye.

Then I quickly made a mark with both hands: "Solution!" ”

Qi Mu Qian: "...... Burst. ”

Me: "......"

Confused.

"It's not an illusion." Qimu Qian couldn't help but smile: "What are you thinking?" ”

“…… You're not Akane Senpai! ”

"I am."

"How do you prove it?" I had pressed my hand to the weapon pouch and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Oops, oops......" She didn't seem to expect her actions to cause such a big reaction from me, she thought about it in distress, and pushed up the forehead guard that was blocking the other eye, revealing the scar and the writing wheel eye.

"Look, I can make the writing wheel turn, huh? Others can't do it, right? ”

“……”

Although this proof method is a bit like coaxing a child, it ...... This is indeed not something that ordinary transfiguration can do.

…… But if it's an illusion, I shouldn't feel it at all......

I looked confused and puzzled. "Akane Senpai ......"

"Huh?"

“…… Did you make a bet with the red seniors? That's why the red seniors asked me out, and then you played tricks on me like this...... Truth or Dare? ”

Qi Mu Qian looked a little helpless: "Is the image of me and Hong in your heart so bad?" ”

"But!" I was shocked and said, "No reason...... Akane seniors do this......"

“…… Do you think there's no reason? ”

Sensing that her tone was wrong, I immediately covered my lips and fell into deep thought.

What Qi Mu Qian said before was- "I like you too." ”

It's not "I like you", but I "like" you too?

…… Also???

She thinks I like her?

Yes...... I do have a crush on her, but it's mostly converted from Kakashi's appreciation. But...... I never thought about this kind of thing with her, because I didn't think it was possible from the beginning.

…… It's like I care about Ning Ning very much because of Ning Ci's death, but I never thought about it...... What kind of future can I have with her.

Akane Qimu looks like a particularly independent woman.

So I asked frankly, "...... Akane senior said he liked me...... What do you like about me...... Why do you like me? Let's be honest...... I think I'm pretty ordinary...... It's completely different from an elite like Akane's predecessors. ”

"Hmm," Qi Mu Qian looked away a little uncomfortably, and muttered a little in her tone: "I just think...... Quite suitable? ”

“…… Because of this? ”

"Then, I think Masumi-kun is very good......"

“…… Isn't this a good guy card? ”

Seeing my eyes widen, Qimu Qian smiled and hugged me. "Why are you boys so sensitive to good guy cards? Can't you say you're good people? ”

I glanced at her arm on my shoulder and pursed my lips: "But this kind of statement usually appears on the occasion of rejection, right?" 'Thank you, you're a good person, but we're not the right fit' or something. ”

"I didn't say no, so I don't know. However, when I say you're a good person, I only mean it literally, and there is no other subconscious meaning - I really think so...... You're good. ”

She softened her tone and rested her head gently on my shoulder.

But I didn't dare to go on so easily.

“…… Akane senior, you don't think about finding someone to be with and then find me because you were urged by the red seniors, right......?"

"I'm not going to do that kind of thing." Akane was angry and funny: "To be honest, I have also seriously considered this matter!" ”

"For example?"

"For example...... Do you want to be alienated. ”

"Oh......"

"And the age difference between us......"

"Huh?"

"And ...... marriage"

"Marriage !??"

"Well, marriage considerations and stuff. Did it scare you? ”

“…… Also, it's fine. ”

It's not so much that I'm scared by the consideration of getting married, but that I'm scared by how much Qi Mu Qian actually thinks about it.

"So...... What do you think? Qi Mu Qian's ears turned red, but her tone pretended to be calm: "What do you think? ”

"That is to say, Akane-senpai is ready to have a serious relationship with me on the premise of marriage?"

"Yes."

"I ...... To be honest, it was unexpected. ”

If you want to talk about what it's like, it's probably this:

Why don't you play your cards according to the routine?!

When did the most unexpected ninja change from Naruko to you!?

Such thoughts.

"Hmm......"

"However, Senior Akane considered this matter so seriously and carefully...... I, to be honest, was flattered. ”

Akane Qimu blinked.

"I want to ...... too Is it okay to think about this matter seriously and carefully? ”

“…… Of course. But she obviously didn't intend to let me go like that: "However, can I know what the main points of Masumi-kun want to consider?" ”

"Uh...... For example, status or rank or something? ”

"What are you talking about," Qi Mu Qian was a little surprised, "What kind of status and rank ......?"

"No, because it is." I sighed, "Akane-senpai has been a genius since she was a child, she graduated from the ninja school at the age of 5 and was promoted to the middle ninja at the age of 6...... When I was a child, I was able to create my own A-level ninjutsu, and then I entered the dark department at a very young age, and now I am an elite ninja. ”

…… Anyway, after graduating at the age of 5, the human race in the Hokage World is really different from the normal human race! What was I doing when I was 5 years old?

"What about me...... It's nothing more ordinary. Graduated from ninja school at the age of 12.,Promoted to middle ninja at the age of 18.,And there's no such powerful resume as the dark department.,It's just a teacher certificate.,And then became a teacher.。 ”

"Honestly...... Although Akane senior said that I am a good person...... But I really don't have any confidence that Akane-senpai will like me for how long this will last. No matter how you think about it...... It's not a good match. Akane's predecessors are elites, I can only be regarded as that kind of ordinary mass level, right? This kind of plot where a goddess falls in love with an ordinary man...... Generally speaking, it's a surreal plot that can only be found in TV dramas or movies, right? ”

"—that's what you think." After listening to this, Qi Mu Qian asked me quietly: "Since you ...... You don't think you're qualified to stand by my side, so what kind of mood have you been in to get close to me? ”

“…… It's a joy to look at you. ”

“……”

"It would be a great honor to be a companion or a close friend, but even if it doesn't, it's nice to see you."

"So, if you let you get closer, wouldn't you dare?"

"Not really. To be honest, didn't I plan to find a gentle and suitable woman to marry at the age of 24? I don't have the strength to toss and turn about the vigorous love of young people, if that woman is Akane's senior...... Honestly, it's no different from pie in the sky for me, right? ”

Hearing this, Qi Mu Qian's eyebrows softened. "So, that's no problem!"

"But that's why I want to take care of this possible future. Are we ...... fit? Habits? Hobbies? and so on...... If you don't think clearly for a while, you get together, but in the end you find that there is no way to get along, and you don't feel ...... Is it a pity to ruin the relationship between seniors and seniors like this? If it's destroyed, what if I see Akane's predecessor being treated as a stranger in the future...... I don't want that ending......"

"That's it......" Qimu Qian sighed, "Well...... I've been struggling with it for a while, so I'm feeling a little anxious, but ...... It should be a good thing that you are so serious, and I can't help but agree. Because it means that you are real, and you are seriously considering it...... But you're like this, it makes me very worried. What if you refuse? ”

"That'...... Go to the movies first? I said tentatively: "This kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, can't you get along as fast as groping around, right?" ”

“…… So do you still go on a date in the end? ”

"You can't just go back to your own house right now." I laughed and took her hand. "When you watch a movie, do you want popcorn and Coke?"

"Don't. I'm not used to eating that. And it's also inconvenient to wear a face mask. ”

"Really? I don't like that either. Although it seems to be standard to eat popcorn when watching movies, I don't think there is any need for it. ”

"That'...... That's a good fit. ”

“…… Senior, I always feel like you have a long list in your heart, and you are ticking one by one? ”

"Maybe there's a long list that's being crossed out one by one?"

I glanced at her and saw that she was looking at me too.

Her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, as if she is with me, which is a very happy thing for her.

I don't know why, but that joy seems to be contagious to me, and I feel ...... Inexplicably very happy.
