There were only the two of them, only a red glow in the sky, and only a fish blowing bubbles in a corner.

Looking at the flustered Nohara Rin, Shinzuki Seiun didn't know if his choice was right or wrong.

Like I said before, he's not good at pursuing girls.

In his past life, he spent all his savings and took out loans, but he couldn't win over the girl he wanted to spend his life with. In the end, he only managed to win her over with the help of great luck.

In this life, although he has gained a lot more experience in interacting with girls, his approach to dating mainly relies on his looks.

He didn't have a clear understanding of his own ability to manipulate women in relationships, and he wasn't sure if he could break through Nohara Rin's psychological defenses.

He decided to take a gamble.

"I said, Lin, I like you."

"I liked you from the first moment I saw you."

The evening breeze blew by, waking the bewildered Nohara Rin.

Looking at the Divine Moon Nebula, she asked the crux of the matter: "What exactly do you like about me?"

"And Nebula, you have... so many girlfriends, why are you coming to me?"

Shenyue Xingyun said, "I like you."

"I admire your strength and courage in treating your companions despite your fear."

"I love your gentle and warm heart, like the sunshine."

I love everything about you.

Chapter 28 Let's be friends

"Sometimes I wonder if meeting you after having so many girlfriends was a dating rehearsal arranged by God for me."

"Lin, I know you can't accept my other girlfriends."

"But I like you so much."

"I want to be by your side every single day."

Even... as friends.

"That's why I'm using the excuse of asking you about medical ninjutsu to spend more time with you."

After saying that, he stared intently at Nohara Rin, his eyes filled with fervor and sincerity.

Nohara Rin was stunned.

If an ordinary guy said to a girl, "I have many girlfriends, but I still can't help liking you," the girl would probably have slapped him while cursing him as a "scumbag."

But he is the Divine Moon Nebula.

Shingetsu Seiun was called a 'fairy' by the teachers and students of the Ninja Academy.

As she was being gazed at sincerely by that face, Nohara Rin sensed the other person's genuine feelings.

'Perhaps they had no choice but to do this,' thought Nohara Rin thought.

She didn't even dare to meet his eyes anymore, afraid that she would fall for him.

Lower your head.

After a moment, Nohara Rin whispered, "What did you mean by... as friends?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Lin."

"I know you won't accept me like this."

"I didn't expect you to accept my advances."

"So, be my friend."

"Let me stay by your side as a friend."

Nohara Rin looked up.

Reason told her that if a boy really likes a girl and says he's willing to be her friend, it's 90% unlikely.

But the other party is the Divine Moon Nebula!

Although he is a womanizer, based on my past understanding, he shouldn't be the kind of guy who makes empty promises.

She said slowly, "Are you sure you want to be friends with me?"

Shenyue Xingyun nodded with absolute certainty: "A friend for life!"

Nohara Rin stared at him intently.

After a while, just when Shingetsu Seiun was anxiously thinking that the other party was likely to refuse, Nohara Rin suddenly smiled.

"Okay, Nebula."

"I don't understand why you have so many girlfriends, nor do I understand why you like me so much."

"But... let's be friends."

She extended her hand to the other person: "Nebula, please take care of me in the future."

Shenyue Xingyun was taken aback when she saw the slender, white hand extended in front of her.

After repeatedly confirming, Nohara Rin was going to shake hands with him.

Should I shake hands or not? Shen Yue Xingyun was torn.

Seeing that Shinzuki Seiun didn't move, Nohara Rin playfully lowered her head and looked into his eyes.

"What's wrong?

"Are you planning to back out?"

“No, not at all!” Shenyue Xingyun said, “It’s just… Lin.”

"Isn't it inappropriate for us to shake hands?"

Nohara Rin asked in confusion, "Isn't it normal for friends to shake hands?"

What are you saying?

Seeing this, Shenyue Xingyun awkwardly explained to the other party.

"Lin."

Do you know one of my nicknames?

“It’s called ‘Hand of God.’ They say my hand has magical power; once you hold it, you don’t want to let go.”

Rin Nohara: "Really? Is it true? I wonder if anyone actually believes something this absurd."

Shingetsu Nebula: "What if... it's true?"

Nohara Rin was amused.

She took a step forward and grasped Shenyue Xingyun's hand, saying, "Don't try to fool me. I don't believe this kind of thing..."

Hands touching.

In an instant, Nohara Rinmi's eyes widened.

She was stunned.

Then, her mouth involuntarily opened slightly.

"..."

The sunset glowed ever redder.

The fish were too shy to go to the surface of the water.

Three seconds later, Nohara Rin realized what had happened.

Immediately afterwards, she pursed her lips tightly.

Feeling the sensations from clasping hands together, like magical currents flowing from fingertips into the depths of the heart.

With unwavering willpower and determination, Nohara Rin forced herself to loosen her grip.

"Phew~" She let out a long sigh of relief.

In an instant, I felt a sense of relief mixed with a sense of loss.

Shenyue Xingyun scratched his head awkwardly: "I already told you, but you still didn't believe me."

Nohara Rin: "..."

Her face was redder than the sunset, as if it could drip blood.

Shenyue Xingyun: "From now on, we won't shake hands, understand?"

Nohara Rin nodded repeatedly: "Mmm-hmm."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Lin, from now on, we'll be friends."

"We can cultivate together and exchange our experiences in the future."

"Furthermore, although I have mastered the Palm Healing Technique, I am not very good at many basic medical ninjutsu. I will need to ask you for more guidance later."

Nohara Rin simply nodded.

After a while.

Having completed his 'date' mission for the day, Shinzuki Seiun escorted Nohara Rin home.

Watching the smiling girl disappear from sight, Shingetsu Seiun felt a mix of emotions.

The image of Nohara Rin, covered in blood and trembling, treating Uchiha Obito during the day lingered in her mind.

She is a good girl—resilient, kind, and warm.

Unfortunately, she met a scumbag like herself.

Don't worry.

'I won't let you get away with this.'

This time, I'll make sure you live a bright and happy life.
