Zhang Ye then entered the small building and headed towards the second floor.

After pushing open the door, a woman's hands flew across the keyboard. Zhang Ye walked up behind her and was immediately stunned.

Zhang Ye didn't recognize any of the characters on it, but he knew what kind of characters they were.

More text!

The woman was translating the text above.

Zhang Ye then looked at the woman. Although he didn't remember her name, he was certain that she was the indispensable female protagonist in Kamen Rider Kuuga!

She translated the Rinta script for Yusuke Godai and used her expertise to support Yusuke Godai, who had transformed into Kuuga.

"Coming!" the woman said without turning her head.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Ye. Nice to meet you!"

"Hello, my name is Sakurako Sawatari. I called you here because you have solid archaeological knowledge and are quite proficient in ancient writing. So I asked the professor to let you help me. From now on, we will be working partners!"

Sakurako Sawatari turned around and said with a smile, but after seeing Zhang Ye's face, she stared at him blankly.

"Little friend, have you come to the wrong place?" Sakurako Sawatari asked in confusion.

After hearing what Sakurako Zetsu said, Zhang Ye felt uncomfortable. "Is it my fault that I look so young?"

Zhang Ye's lips twitched as he said, "It's wrong of me to look short, but I'm twenty-two this year, so please don't call me a kid!"

"I'm so sorry, it's just that you look really young!" Sakurako Sawatari said awkwardly.

"What do I need to do?"

"What are your thoughts on this passage? I've tried many methods, but I still can't find a solution!"

Sakurako Sawatari pointed to a near-common character on the computer screen.

Even though Zhang Ye didn't have systematic archaeological knowledge, he was able to translate the text.

Although he had forgotten the plot, Zhang Ye definitely knew the meaning behind the words!

warrior!

It is also the symbol of Kuuga, representing the meaning of a warrior!

"Soldier!" Zhang Ye said in a deep voice, suppressing his inner excitement.

After hearing Zhang Ye's answer, Sakurako's eyes lit up, and she quickly typed on the keyboard, translating the meaning of the ancient characters.

"Warning, warriors, corpses...disappearing...spreading!"

Whenever Sakurako Sawatari translated the meaning of a word from a romanized text, her pretty face would immediately change color.

"Do not touch the warrior's body, or when the warrior's body disappears, the terror of death and evil will once again spread across the land!"

Sakurako Sawatari frowned and whispered, "Don't touch the warrior's body? Where is that warrior?"

The warrior is inside the stone coffin in the ruins!

Of course, Zhang Ye wouldn't say that out loud, since he still needed to complete his mission and return to the Naruto world to see Kushina!

Sakurako Sawatari took a sip of coffee, the troubled look on her face disappeared, and she reached out her hand.

"Welcome to our archaeological institute! I hope we can work together in the future!" Sakurako Sawatari said with a smile.

"Yes, let's work hard together!" Zhang Ye responded with a smile, extending his hand.

The smile on his face wasn't just because he could work with a beautiful woman; it was more because contact with her increased his chances of obtaining the Transformation Belt.

"You just sit here..."

Sakurako looked around, then looked at Zhang Ye with an embarrassed expression and gave an awkward smile.

"Sorry, I live here almost alone, so it's a bit messy. Let me tidy it up, hehe..." Sakurako Sawatari said with a wry smile.

"Let's pack together then. After all, we'll be comrades-in-arms at work from now on. We should share the good times and the bad!"

Zhang Ye rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile.

"How could I possibly accept that!" Sakurako Sawatari pulled out a broom and dustpan from somewhere and handed them to Zhang Ye with a satisfied smile.

Hey beautiful, where's your integrity?!

Zhang Ye took the cleaning tools and started cleaning the research room with Sakura Sawatari.

As darkness fell, the two sat panting on the sofa.

"Exercising feels really good!" Sakurako Sawatari said with a smile.

"It's alright, but I don't want to 'exercise' like this every day!" Zhang Ye complained helplessly.

"Alright, stop complaining. I'll treat you to dinner today!"

Sakurako Sawatari stood up and said with a smile, "Wait a moment while I change my clothes, then we'll set off!"

After she changed her clothes, Zhang Ye had already sprawled out on the sofa and fallen fast asleep.

Sakurako Sawatari gave a wry smile, went back into the house, and took out a blanket to cover Zhang Ye.

"Look closely, they're just like middle school students!"

Chapter Three: I'm Really an Adult Now

It was late at night when Zhang Ye slowly woke up from his sleep. At this time, Sakurako Sawatari was still sitting next to the computer, holding a coffee in one hand and studying ancient scripts.

It's 1 a.m.?

Zhang Ye glanced at the clock on the wall and shook his still somewhat heavy head.

Are there blankets too?

Zhang Ye discovered that he was covered with a blanket, which had a light fragrance similar to shampoo. It must be from Sakura Sawatari, since she had said that she lived alone here.

"Huh? Zhang Jun, you're up!" Sakura took off her glasses, rubbed her temples, and got up, saying, "You can really sleep! You slept until 1 a.m., and I haven't even eaten yet!"

"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry!"

Zhang Ye said awkwardly, "After all, this is someone else's place to live, and I'm taking up their property."

"Hmm... Zhang-kun, aren't you going to do something?" Sakurako Sawatari looked at Zhang Ye with a half-smile.

"I'll treat you to a late-night snack as a way of apologizing!"

It's going to cost money again!

Zhang Ye calculated the amount in his wallet. Although he was a graduate student at Chengnan University, he was also a poor guy and didn't have much money on him.

After you finish eating with Sakurako Sawatari, you'll probably have very little money left in your wallet!

Looks like I need to find a place to work!

Immediately, a smile appeared on Sakurako Sawatari's face. She picked up her bag from the computer desk, stood up, and said, "I happen to know a good restaurant. I'll take you there!"

Zhang Ye stood up and followed Sawatari Sakurako out of Jonan University.

The temperature was a bit chilly late at night, and Sakurako Sawatari couldn't help but huddle up, wrapping herself up tightly.

There were hardly any pedestrians on the road, and the empty street seemed to be occupied only by the two of them.

"Miss Zedu, are you sure there will be any restaurants open in the middle of the night?"

The area around Seongnam University is mostly comprised of small and medium-sized restaurants. After all, it's not a bustling street, and there are very few restaurants open 24 hours a day, except in the city center.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems following me!" Sakurako Sawatari said with a smile.

After turning around several streets, the two saw a red light ahead.

"There really is one open?" Zhang Ye looked at the restaurant in front of him in surprise, feeling extremely worried.

Hopefully it won't be too expensive!!

Sakurako Sawatari smiled, as if she knew what Zhang Ye was thinking, and said, "This restaurant has been open at Jonan University for a long time. I heard Professor Inoue mention it. He said that back then, he and a professor named Hongo often came here to eat, and they served authentic Japanese cuisine."

The two opened the door and went inside to enjoy the warm air.

A man in his fifties approached Zhang Ye and Sakurako Sawado with a menu.

"What would you two like to order?" the owner asked.

Zhang Ye took the menu from his hand, glanced at it, and then sighed. The prices on it weren't too expensive.

My wallet is finally safe.

Zhang Ye then handed the menu to Sakurako Sawatari, saying, "Ladies first!"

Sakurako Sawatari couldn't help but shake her head and smile, then took the menu and said, "I'll have a pork cutlet set meal!"

"Me too!"

"Alright, please wait a moment, both guests!"

The boss nodded and went to the kitchen to prepare Zhang Ye's set meal.

"This shop is decorated in a very cozy style."

Zhang Ye looked around at the restaurant's layout. There weren't many seats, but the decor was the most common in homes, which gave people a warm feeling.

“Yes.” Sakurako nodded, then looked at Zhang Ye: “Zhang-kun, you’re Chinese, right? Why did you decide to study archaeology in Japan? China’s technology in this area is just as good.”

"I really like Japanese culture, especially anime. I've wanted to come to Japan to see it for myself for a long time!"

"I didn't expect Zhang Jun to have this hobby." Sakurako covered her mouth and smiled.

"Please don't call me Zhang Jun anymore, it sounds weird. If you don't mind, just call me A Ye!"

Zhang Ye always felt something was off whenever he heard people address him as "Jun" or "Sang".

"Then just call me Sakura, that's what my friends call me," Sakura Sawatari said with a smile.

"Here's your set meal, gentlemen!"

The owner placed the set meal in front of Zhang Ye and his companions and said with a smile, "Please enjoy your meal!"

"Oh, and two more bottles of sake, boss!" Sakurako Sawatari said to the boss.

"Ok?"

The shopkeeper looked at Sakura with surprise and asked doubtfully, "Madam, can you finish two bottles of sake?"
