What's worse is that the rideshare driver is none other than a stranger. If the other party finds out, will they still speak to you so gently?

The question in her mind seemed to require no thought, and Uzuki Yugao shook her head.

"Sis, I...I'm really fine."

"You must be exhausted after working a full day and a half."

"Go and get some rest."

Uzuki Yuhi didn't say anything, just quietly watched Uzuki Yugao.

Maoyue Xiyang unleashed the elder sister's aura that she hadn't displayed in a long time.

Under such gazes, Uzuki Yugao's gaze grew weaker and weaker.

"I watched you grow up."

"Can you fool me if you're not worried about something?"

"Go ahead."

Uzuki Yugao tried to resist again, but Uzuki Yuhi spoke up once more.

"If you're stupid enough not to tell me, you won't get any sleep tonight."

Uzuki Yugao wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Can't you just not tell me?"

"No."

"I'm afraid you'll hit me if I tell you."

"Don't worry, I won't hit you... I swear."

"Really?"

“You’re an adult, why would I lie to you?”

Ultimately, under Uzuki Yuhi's strong insistence and firm assurances, Uzuki Yuhi had no choice but to tell her about her worries.

"I...I was thinking about Nebula."

"Could...could we add one more person?"

As Uzuki Yugao spoke, she shrank her neck slightly, seemingly afraid of Uzuki Yuhi's anger. However, to her surprise, Uzuki Yuhi did not become angry; her gaze merely shifted rapidly.

His gaze was so complex that she couldn't quite make it out.

After a long while, she heard the voice of Uzuki Yuhi, her heart pounding with fear.

"Okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, Uzuki Yugao froze.

A few seconds later, she realized she hadn't misheard.

With wide eyes, Uzuki Yugao looked up, her gaze filled with shock as she stared at Uzuki Yuhi.

"What do you say?"

Uzuki Yuhi looked at her, and his gaze softened.

"I said okay."

Maoyue Xiyan: "..."

no…

How could this be...?

Did you hear what I said? How is it okay?

Shouldn't they have hit me, scolded me, or at least criticized me? How could they have agreed so easily?

Uzuki Yugao: "Sis, are you out of your mind?"

"I mean..."

"Alright." Uzuki Yuhi interrupted Uzuki Yugao, reaching out to gently stroke the back of her head.

Uzuki Yugao trembled with fear, thinking that the other party was about to strike a vicious blow.

Little did anyone know that the setting sun in the month of Maoyue moved gently and spoke softly.

I understand your thoughts.

"Stop thinking about it, it's getting late, go to sleep."

"Leave the rest to me."

Maoyue Xiyan: "???"

Uzuki Yuhi pushed Uzuki Yugao back to her room and ordered her to rest early. Lying in bed, Uzuki Yugao's mind was still foggy.

What does she mean?

'Why don't I understand?'

'Does that mean you agreed, or just that you understand? I haven't even told you the specific plans yet.'

After thinking about it, my mind is still a complete mess.

'Never mind, I'll go to sleep first.'

'Let's put the red bean thing aside for now.'

……

Uzuki Yugao fell asleep, but Uzuki Yuhi couldn't sleep.

In the darkness of night, she lay in bed, staring wide-eyed at the dim ceiling above her.

The words that Uzuki Yugao had just spoken were still in my mind—"Could we add one more person?"

A touch of emotion stirred within me.

Yes, it was touching.

Looking back, this was the younger sister's way of trying to bridge the gap between the sisters after such a long period of awkwardness—sharing what she cherished most with him.

As the setting sun of the month of Mao clenched my heart, I felt a warm current flowing through me.

'This child... really~'

'audacious in the extreme.'

'You actually want to come with me~'

'However, it's also clear that she has high hopes for you.'

'I didn't spoil her for nothing.'

Keeping the emotions in her heart, Uzuki Sunset began to think about how to put them into practice.

The opponent is the powerful Divine Moon Nebula; the plan must be meticulous to have even the slightest chance of success.

"We cannot let Xiyan down."

"It absolutely has to be done!"

Under the cover of night, the setting sun murmured softly.

……

this day.

Sunny weather.

I'm in a bright and cheerful mood.

From the moment Naruto woke up, the corners of his mouth were always turned up.

Graduated successfully and were assigned to different classes.

More importantly, he was assigned to the same class (team) as Sakura Haruno.

If it weren't for Sasuke being caught in the middle, this would have been a perfect day in his life.

Just past noon, he arrived at the Konoha training grounds. They were to meet there as agreed. Even while waiting, he couldn't stay idle.

"Sakura, don't worry."

"From now on, we'll be on the same team, and I'll definitely protect you."

"I will never let you get hurt in the slightest!" Naruto Uzumaki leaned close to Sakura Haruno, expressing his love.

However, Sakura Haruno only looked at him with half of her pupil.

"Get away~"

"I don't need your protection."

Naruto Uzumaki froze on the spot.

However, he immediately comforted himself—Sakura is truly an independent and strong-willed girl.

Then he saw Sakura Haruno's expression suddenly change, from indifference to gentleness, and she walked to Sasuke's side.

"Sasuke, you'll protect me, right?"

Sasuke gave her a cold glance.

"This is not something a qualified ninja should say."

Sakura Haruno: "..."

"We're teammates! As partners, of course we have to protect our comrades."

Sasuke couldn't refute this, but looking at Sakura Haruno's eyes brimming with spring-like joy, he silently took a half-step back.

Sasuke's eyes held both indifference and a hint of doubt.

He didn't understand why Sakura Haruno seemed a little cold towards him for a while, but then slowly warmed up again.
