"Ah?", Aoba's head felt a bit muddled, "What do you mean?"
Konan saw the dazed look on Aoba's face didn't seem like an act. She let out a sigh of relief, only feeling that the books were all lies.
That stuff about if you don't use it for a long time it'll become… blah blah, was false information.
After all, practice reveals the truth.
It wasn't really her fault. After all, every time she had to line up behind Yugao and the others.
"Nothing. You go eat first, I need to sleep a bit more," Konan, with difficulty, pushed Aoba off the bed, then wrapped herself up in the quilt again.
She didn't even plan to clean up, just let it come out on its own.
She was too tired, only wanting to sleep.
Aoba walked out of the bedroom and found Kin at the door, with an expression like the sky had fallen, so much so that she didn't even notice him coming out.
"Kin, what's wrong?"
Aoba reached out and waved his hand in front of her face.
"Ah!"
Kin was startled, then quickly bowed after noticing Aoba standing in front of her, handing over a towel, "Aoba-sama, I'm truly sorry, I just lost focus for a moment!"
"What are you worried about?"
Aoba reached out to steady her head, stopping her from bowing nonstop.
Kin's expression was tense, eyes full of tears, "Aoba-sama, it's my first time being a maid. Even though I may not do everything well enough, I'll work hard to learn, please don't drive me away!"
"?"
Aoba's head was full of question marks, "When did I say I was going to drive you away?"
Kin looked aggrieved, "But you already invited other maids."
"Ah?", Aoba was a little confused, so he decided to go out and check.
But before he could take more than two steps, he heard the sound of quick little footsteps.
A cute long-haired girl appeared in front of him, her small feet in white cotton socks stepping directly on the floor, as she pounced toward him.
"Aoba-nii!"
Aoba instinctively caught her, "Hanabi, why did you come to my house?"
The long-haired girl was indeed Hanabi, but she didn't answer his question. Instead, she curiously pointed toward the room behind him, "Aoba-nii, is that your room?"
"Ah… yeah, I guess…", Aoba scratched his head with an awkward smile.
"But why is there another onee-chan sleeping in there?"
"Hm?", Aoba turned his head, just in time to see Hanabi tilting her head with a puzzled look.
Her Byakugan was already activated.
"…"
He'd been careless. He only set up a barrier during… business. Once business was done, the barrier naturally disappeared.
He hadn't expected Hanabi to notice.
Aoba knocked on Hanabi's head, dissatisfied, "Using the Byakugan to peek at other people's privacy is very rude behavior!"
"Ugh!", Hanabi covered her head, eyes tearing up, "But I see onee-chan often secretly using Byakugan to peek at Aoba-nii."
Not feeling guilty in the slightest about selling out her sister.
"…"
"Don't learn the good, only the bad," Aoba couldn't help but knock her again, then picked up little Hanabi and carried her out.
And then he understood what Kin meant earlier.
In the living room, Hyuga Natsu was skillfully making tea, movements elegant and practiced.
After all, she was raised by a prestigious family.
"Aoba-sama, breakfast and toiletries are already prepared for you."
Seeing Aoba awake, Hyuga Natsu immediately stopped what she was doing.
Kin's cheeks puffed up at once, 'This is supposed to be my job.'
'But this woman took everything the moment she arrived.'
And she even said it was on Aoba-sama's orders, how could Kin dare to stop her?
Yugito just stood off to the side like a wooden post.
Earlier she had even been scolded by this woman, told her professional skills were lacking.
But she wasn't even a real maid. Everyone in this house knew she was just a vase for Aoba to enjoy.
Aoba gave a wry smile, "Natsu, I already have maids at home."
Probably because of her upbringing, Kin lacked a strong sense of security. So even a small action from Hyuga Natsu made her feel like she was being abandoned.
Natsu froze for a moment, then immediately understood. She gave Kin an apologetic look, then turned to Aoba, "I'm truly sorry for causing trouble."
She had only wanted to help, not realizing it would cause a misunderstanding.
"You didn't cause trouble. Since you're already here, why not just treat it as a little vacation?"
"Alright," Natsu nodded, handing the teapot in her hand to Kin.
"By the way, why is Hanabi here too?", Aoba asked again.
Natsu explained, "The ninja academy is on holiday today. Hanabi insisted on coming, so the clan head allowed me to bring her along."
"Aoba-nii didn't come find Hanabi, so Hanabi could only come herself," Hanabi pouted, patting Aoba's shoulder in obvious dissatisfaction.
"I have official business to discuss with Natsu later," Aoba rubbed Hanabi's head.
"Then Hanabi will just watch from the side. Hanabi will be really good," Hanabi blinked her pure, innocent eyes.
"Fine, but you have to behave."
"Mm! Mm!"
Hanabi nodded like pounding garlic.
Although Aoba agreed, he wasn't convinced about Hanabi being "really good."
After all, even Hinata often got so mad at Hanabi she smacked her little butt.
Aoba handed Hanabi over to Natsu.
By the time he finished washing up, Kin had already finished preparing all of breakfast.
Because Aoba had gotten up late, Temari had already eaten earlier.
So now she was sitting next to Hanabi, poking her chubby cheek with her finger from time to time.
She had always wanted a younger sister. In her mind, a sister would be more understanding and could help her take care of her clueless younger brothers.
Unfortunately, she only had two troublesome brothers.
But now, finally, it wasn't her problem anymore.
Hanabi, meanwhile, puffed out her cheeks, trying to block Temari's finger with her hand over and over.
'Aoba-nii's fiancée have absolutely no sense of boundaries.'
Watching this, even Yugito couldn't help but smile slightly.
Of course, Hanabi was just too cute.
Aoba held back his laughter and asked, "Hanabi, why didn't your sister come?"
Hanabi, caught off guard, let her soft little face fall into Temari's devilish hands, so she could only look at Aoba angrily.
"Onee-chan is practicing Gentle Fist with Father."
"You're not practicing?"
"I'm on break today!", Hanabi declared righteously.
Breakfast ended.
Aoba took Hyuga Natsu into his bedroom, while the clawing little Hanabi was thrown outside.
"Aoba-sama… what should I do next?", Hyuga Natsu lay on the bed as Aoba instructed, her whole face now covered in blush.
In her entire life, this was the first time she had lain on a man's bed.
It was impossible not to be nervous.
"You only need to close your eyes, that's all."
Aoba's voice was gentle.
His eyes had already turned azure blue, as he cast the Spirit Transformation Technique.
