Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

Is it just an illusion?

She was still dazed and had not woken up.

I want to sleep a little longer.

But very quickly, he suddenly opened his eyes.

There was no one else in sight, but a small figure was now on Hinata Hanabi's bed.

It was a little girl, wearing a floral dress, with long hair, delicate features, and fast asleep.

Yes, she's a very cute little girl.

But that's not important. What's important is that Hinata Natsu recognized him very easily.

"Well……"

He opened his mouth as if to shout, but quickly covered it again.

Suppressing his excitement, he turned and ran outside.

This news must be told to Hiashi Hyuga immediately!

……

It was mid-January, the sixtieth year of Konoha.

Hiashi Hyuga, the second daughter of the Hyuga clan head, who had been away from Konoha for more than two years, returned to Konoha that morning and appeared in her own room.

The news immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Hiashi Hyuga is a man of few words and does not easily express his emotions.

But this time, she secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, a rare occurrence for her.

His wife and eldest daughter, Hinata Hyuga, were already embracing Hanabi Hyuga, sobbing uncontrollably.

After thanking everyone who came after receiving the message, soon only the Hyuga family members remained.

We are all just picking things up; if others are reunited after a long separation, let's not disturb them.

The next day arrived quickly. At the request of the so-called clan elders, Hinata Hyuga was asked to check whether Hanabi Hyuga had practiced during her absence.

They're still young, and if they haven't practiced yet, there's still time to make up for it.

However, the situation turned out to be completely unexpected.

Although Hinata Hyuga did not go all out, she was defeated in just a few moves.

Yes, Hinata Hyuga was defeated by her younger sister.

At the elder's request, the second attack became a full-force assault.

But it was still no use, and he was knocked to the ground a second time.

Hinata Hanabi is still unsure what kind of impact her actions will have on her older sister.

Anyway, the elder of the Hyuga clan seemed to be disappointed in Hinata Hyuga, who was usually timid and submissive, and who couldn't even beat her younger sister who was five years younger than her.

How can someone like that become the future head of the Hyuga clan?

Hinata Hanabi didn't understand any of this; she just wanted to show off.

In fact, she hadn't used her full strength yet; she hadn't even used Sage Mode.

Two years is enough time for Shichiya to find a way for them to successfully absorb natural energy and use natural energy and chakra to enter Sage Mode.

They had been practicing for a long time, and if it weren't for their young age, Hyuga Hiashi probably wouldn't be her match.

But these things need to be kept secret.

Qi Ye had told her that it was best not to use these methods unless absolutely necessary.

……

the other side.

After taking Hinata Hanabi home, Nanaya left.

There were no farewells, and no tears.

Saying goodbye to the yukata made Nanaya realize that it wasn't fun at all.

Is it true that parting is always painful for those who are deeply in love?

Qi Ye had experienced death; the scientists at the research institute and others had all died in front of him.

He was conducting an experiment at the time and couldn't recover immediately, so he could only watch helplessly as the soldiers slaughtered the scientists.

After they recovered, they killed all the soldiers, but the scientists were already beyond saving.

"Leave here, survive, don't get discovered, and live an ordinary, everyday life."

These were their last words, and Qiye lived her life according to them.

Perhaps this is the ideal life.

While Hyuga Hanabi and Hyuga Hinata were competing, Nanaya used spatial teleportation to cross the vast ocean and return to the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Snow.

Compared to when I left, it doesn't seem to have changed much.

It was only when I saw Kazeka Koyuki again that I realized that everything had been changing all along.

The little girl from back then has grown up and matured quite a bit.

Come to think of it, after Qiye left, matters of national importance became something she had to consider.

With more exposure, one naturally becomes more mature.

But upon seeing Nana, she reverted to her girlish innocence.

"Brother Qiye!"

Even in the council chamber where government affairs were being handled, she abandoned everything and rushed into Qi Ye's arms.

In comparison, Qiye seemed unsure of what to do with his hands.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue herself wasn't aware of it, but Qi Ye could clearly feel it; the little girl had grown up.

At least, the touch against my chest felt softer.

"Alright, alright, everyone's watching. What kind of behavior is this? He's a famous person, after all."

In the end, he patted the girl on the back with a smile.

However, the maids around her all had their heads down, indicating that they couldn't see anything.

They've been with Feng Hua and Xiao Xue for so many years, they're completely used to their occasional displays of affection and don't care at all.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue also realized what was happening and wiped away her tears.

Perhaps she's grown up; her face has turned a little red, as if she's somewhat shy.

But mostly I was happy.

Standing beside Qi Ye, she held onto his arm, unwilling to let go.

"Brother Qiye, you're finally back! You've been gone for so long, I missed you."

She was very dependent on Qiye, and as she grew older, she came to understand some things.

Saying "I miss you" to Qiye in this situation is a way of expressing one's feelings.

However, Shichiya didn't understand.

Or perhaps they pretend not to understand and show no reaction.

Although he raised this girl, he hasn't thought about her as a girlfriend or even a wife yet.

Anyway, he's not in a hurry.

Although he seems to be almost thirty now, his body just doesn't grow up, and he always looks like a teenager.

They also have a youthful mindset, still seeing themselves as seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers.

To be honest, he himself didn't know why his body wouldn't grow.

Before he transmigrated, he wasn't very old. He was around twenty years old when he transmigrated. He didn't die of old age, nor did he have the experience of discovering he wouldn't grow up when he turned thirty.

After arriving in this world, my body inexplicably shrank, and after growing to the size of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, it stopped growing, as if it had stopped growing altogether.

This didn't happen before the time travel, or rather, it wasn't the right time for people to discover it, so no one had studied it.

Now...

Whether or not he conducts research doesn't really matter; it's not a bad thing anyway, and Qiye doesn't feel like there's anything wrong with his body.

The world is so big, there will always be some unsolved mysteries.

Chapter 58: Military Equipment

"Alright, let's not talk about anything else for now. During my absence, nothing major happened in the Snow Country, right?"

Qi Ye decisively changed the subject.

Talking about love isn't his style; he's always been very direct.

For example, they simply took Hinata Hanabi away back then.

Of course, she's a young girl, so there's nothing Qi Ye could do, even though he saw everything he should and shouldn't have seen while helping her bathe.

He even touched it.

But that was an unavoidable event.

After all, Hinata Hanabi and Nanaya were only three or four years old when they left together.

When she noticed that Shichiya was changing the subject, Kazakura Koyuki pouted.

However, since they were discussing serious matters, she couldn't continue talking about other things.

As a prominent figure, he naturally prioritizes national affairs during working hours.

Although she really wanted to talk to Qi Ye about personal matters.

"No major incidents, but constant minor ones."
