The source of this murderous aura comes from Liuli.

At this moment, Liuli had withdrawn from her blushing state. After taking a deep breath, she looked over with a look that Shiraishi couldn't fully understand.

For this kind of strange look that was really incomprehensible, Shiraishi could feel a sense of oppression that he had never felt before, weighing heavily on himself.

Sure enough, it was because of the fact that I was going to buy a kimono for her just now that her mood became more unpredictable than usual.

That's right, even if you think about it for a moment, you will know that what you said just now will definitely make a girl very angry and embarrassed.

"Well, that... how should I put it, it's really full of chance and accidents. Since giving kimonos has such a special purpose, then..."

There was a momentary illusion—the murderous aura on Liuli seemed to be stronger.

Although she herself has now turned her eyes away from Shiraishi, standing there calmly and looking elsewhere as if nothing had happened.

But Shiraishi knew that this was not an illusion at all.

At this time, let alone remediation, whether you can successfully walk out of this clothing store is a question worth considering.

Shiraishi turned his attention to the teacher Fujimura standing aside and asked him for help.

Fujimura said in a righteous tone: "Chiba-san, don't always think about asking adults for help when you encounter difficulties. You are now a qualified ninja. You have to find a way to have enough food and clothing for yourself."

Of course, this is not because I am afraid that I dare not extend a helping hand.

After all, he is an outstanding chuunin who has been selected as an elite teacher by the ninja school several times. How could such an outstanding person not save his own students?

This is entirely because I want to train students' independent rescue abilities.

Yes, this is exercise.

"I like the color of this dress very much, and the size is just right, what do you think?"

At this moment, Liuli suddenly said this sentence. Her expression had completely returned to normal, and her eyes were still focused on her clothes. It seemed that she was just asking for advice.

"Yes, yes... I think so too. It suits you very well, Liuli."

"..."

"..."

...Huh? What?

How should I put this silence? It's like an important hint hidden in the game plot.

If it is not triggered, the plot will not proceed smoothly to the next step.

Therefore, it is impossible to muddle through.

But is this really good?

I don’t know how to explain the wonderful feeling born in my heart at this moment.

Propose or something?

No, I didn't know that clothes had such a hint, so I just needed to keep a normal mind.

This is just a testimony between friends.

But there is still... a sense of guilt about blasphemy or something.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have said so much.

It's you who keeps yourself from getting off the stage.

Shiraishi cleared his throat, pointed at the one and said, "Teacher Fujimura, bring that kimono over here, I want to buy it."

Fujimura smiled, followed Shiraishi's instructions, took down the kimono that Ruri was interested in, and packed it.

"Chiba-kun, only when boys give these clothes to girls will they become meaningful."

I'm so annoyed, I want you to talk too much! Shiraishi replied unhappily.

Liuli looked at Chuunin Teacher Fujimura with a softened look, filled with satisfaction.

Finally, I watched Shiraishi and Ruri holding the kimono leave the clothing store.

"Today's young people are really amazing, but if you want to get married, does Chiba-san plan to marry an Uchiha in the future?"

Fujimura sighed with emotion. Ruri was not only a genius of the Uchiha clan, but his family was also said to be extremely rich. If they were to get married, the man would be more likely to marry into the family.

But it's still early, get married or something.

The time comes for the next day.

Shiraishi woke up from his hazy state.

Because of what happened yesterday, I tossed and turned in the quilt all night and couldn't sleep well. I was extremely embarrassed.

I feel really guilty when I think of myself who gave Ruri a kimono with special meaning after coming back yesterday.

Although I kept hypnotizing myself, I told myself that this didn't have any special meaning, it was just pure friendship.

But, is this really going to be the case?

Because after putting the thing in Liuli's hand, I didn't even look at her expression. I only remember that she ran away and ran back to the laboratory in a very embarrassed manner.

Even last night's experiment became half-hearted and errors continued.

This wonderful feeling is really complicated and hard to describe.

I got rid of all the random thoughts in my mind. The most important thing now is work, not random thoughts about irrelevant things.

But the more this happens, the more I care about what happened yesterday.

What would Liuli think?

Would she think it was a proposal?

It's so strange. In terms of biological age, the two of them are only twelve years old...

Do you think you are frivolous?

Will you be hated? Or will you like it? Or feel nothing at all?

"ah……"

One thought after another came to his mind, making his head about to explode.

Baishi opened his mouth and exhaled heavily, trying to calm himself down.

In this way, the whole morning passed in a blur.

Really irritable.

Just when Shiraishi was distressed——

The courtyard outside.

A maid walked up to Liuli, who was leisurely feeding the fish by the pond, and whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, Liuli nodded to the maid.

The maid went down, and not long after, she came in with a girl in white clothes.

This girl has pure white pupils, looking at this unusually large mansion with a curious look on her face. It is Ayane.

"Go down."

Liuli glanced at the maid.

"yes."

The maid bent down slightly and left, leaving Liuli and Ayane alone.

"Is this your home, Liuli? I heard it from Mr. Shiraishi, but after seeing it with my own eyes, it's more shocking than I imagined."

Ayane came over and said with a smile.

"Nothing, just a normal size, I don't think that would surprise you."

Liuli continued to sprinkle some food and fed it to the fish in the pond, watching them swim quickly and splash in the water in order to compete for food.

"Besides, put away that fake smile of yours and stop pretending in front of me. You should know that I won't accept your behavior."

After that, Liuli said something rude again, and pointed his sharp eyes directly at Ayane.

"Liuli, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand..."

In the middle of her words, Liuli disappeared from her eyes, and her words were interrupted.

Ruri stood holding Ayane's throat, but was unable to take the next step.

Ayane's right middle finger and index finger gently touched Liuli's heart.

"Is this the capital you rely on? Soft boxing combined with natural energy?"

Liuli asked Ayane with interest.

In this month in Konoha, Ayane has not grown at all.

Although it is still unclear to what extent the power of Soft Fist can be increased after integrating natural energy, Ayane in the past would not have been able to respond so quickly even if she had opened her Byakugan and could catch her figure.
