A guest from the Cloud Village?
I'm a born-and-bred Konoha resident!!
"Pfft~~~"
Minato, who was secretly spying from the shadows, almost burst out laughing.
He knew Xin was helping Nawaki set up this meeting, so he followed secretly to watch the drama unfold. Nawaki had been agonizing for over an hour before finally mustering the courage to say hello, which had been driving Minato crazy with impatience.
But Nawaki's clumsy way of introducing himself had caused a huge misunderstanding.
A guest from the Cloud Village?
Hahaha, this is killing me!
I can't laugh, I can't laugh-if Nawaki finds out I'm spying, he'll kill me!
But it was just too funny.
Minato covered his mouth, his face turning red from trying to suppress his laughter. Tears welled up in his eyes, streaming down as he tried his best to laugh silently, but it was a struggle.
"No, no, I'm not from the Cloud Village. I'm from Konoha! My name's Nawaki, from the Senju clan, and Tsunade is my sister!!!" Nawaki stammered, desperately trying to explain.
Hyuga Meiko gave him a suspicious look for a few seconds.
"Tsunade's younger brother?"
"You're that silly one from before...?" Meiko finally recalled. She had run into Nawaki on the streets once before, back when she and Hyuga Suzune had greeted Xin. Nawaki had just stood there, wide-eyed, looking like a deer in headlights.
"...."
"Pu-haha~~~"
Nawaki felt a sharp stab in his heart.
Silly?
Do I really look that dumb?
"Sorry, I didn't mean to call you silly, really," Meiko quickly apologized after realizing her mistake.
But her attempt to smooth things over only made Nawaki feel worse.
"Haha... haha..." All Nawaki could do was scratch his head and laugh awkwardly.
"I'm Hyuga Meiko, Suzune-sama's attendant. If there's nothing else, could you please leave? I'm waiting for Suzune-sama," Meiko added coldly, her tone polite but distant.
The message was clear: leave quickly, I don't have time or patience to chat with you.
"Uh... could I treat you to dinner?" Nawaki asked, refusing to give up. Even though he was starting to question everything, he wanted to at least try. If he didn't even dare to invite her, what kind of person would that make him?
"Dinner?" Meiko wasn't the type to miss subtle cues. She quickly caught on and asked: "You like me?"
Was it that obvious?
Nawaki's face turned beet red, and he stiffly nodded his head.
