"Don't worry, Aiye-chan, Mom will teach you how to make Xiaoyuan fall in love with you!"

Miki was clearly much more excited, her eyes seemed to be sparkling.

"Um"

Aino cares not only about whether she can make Gen like her, but also about what her mother thinks.

"Mom, I want to ask you a question."

Seeing the atmosphere change, Miki, who was a little too excited, stopped talking.

"Ok?"

Kaguya looked at her daughter.

"That mom, do you like Yuan too?"

?

Just as Miki and Ran were surprised by this question, Kaguya gave a very honest answer.

"like."

The voice was calm, as if stating a fact.

Aino couldn't quite describe her feelings; she just felt relieved and not really sad.

"It seems that Mom and I have both fallen for the same person."

Aino smiled happily.

Just then, a joyful scream erupted from the side.

"Kaguya, are you going to be Yuan's wife too?"

"I'm so happy!"

"and many more!"

The only one who could still be considered a normal person, Lan, stopped Miki's high-pitched scream.

"We don't know yet whether the 'like' Kaguya mentioned is the same 'like' that Aino has!"

She wouldn't have stopped the three people present if she hadn't sensed something terrible was about to happen.

Lan directly asked Kaguya.

"Kaguya, what do you like about Genji?"

Kaguya pondered for a moment, then opened her bright red lips.

"All."

"I feel at ease knowing that he's there."

"If I had to describe it, it would be like the dawn, something I want to rely on."

Bathed in comforting light.

Miki's expression was one of utter surprise.

"Then, then, then! Kaguya-chan, are you going to marry Genji along with Aino?"

Kaguya looked over and thought for a moment.

"Can"

"and many more!"

Lan stood up and stood between Miki and Kaguya.

"Miki, liking someone doesn't mean you can only become husband and wife."

"Kaguya, do you like your life now?"

Kaguya nodded firmly.

Lan then asked.

"Do you really want to marry Xiaoyuan?"

Kaguya thought for a while.

"What's the difference between getting married and not getting married?"

"Not much difference."

"That's fine with me."

Seeing Miki looking at him with teary eyes, Lan glared at her and sent her flying.

"So maintaining the status quo is the best option."

Lan immediately characterized the situation, then turned to look at Miki.

"Miki, stop thinking about making the person you like marry Yuan."

"If you want to have grandchildren, you should try to persuade Xiaoyuan."

Miki tapped her index fingers together in a wronged manner.

"I'd like to too, but Xiaoyuan said it's not the right time."

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something.

"By the way! Aino, what do you like about Yuan?"

What do you like about it?

Aino froze, her thoughts immediately drifting back to the past.

When did she fall in love with Kiyoi Gen?

From initial hatred to gradual trust, and then to cooperation, everything was quite normal.

But she is not alone anymore.

The mother's spirit was freed from its constraints; her wish was fulfilled, and she could now immerse herself in her mother's love.

just

Aino recalled the first few days after she gained her body.

Accept the mission from Kiyoshi Gen, complete the mission, and then have a meal with the others.

It was very ordinary, but it felt very novel.

Occasionally, she would run into Kiyoshi Gen, and the two would exchange sarcastic remarks as usual. She would go to see her mother, and Gen would go to talk to her.

When was it?

Oh right, it's because she saw that Kiyoshi Gen was always busy with work, which made Miki's mother a little lonely, so she recognized Miki as her godmother, hoping to make Kiyoshi Gen anxious and give him a little push.

Afterwards, he took the initiative to collect a lot of information about Kirigakure, hoping that Kiyoi Gen could finish his work as soon as possible and spend some time with Miki's mother.

It seems like it was around that time!

After that frank conversation, she felt that she and Kiyoshi Gen had grown much closer.

She didn't need to hide anything when she was with him, and she didn't have to worry about him doing anything that would be detrimental to her and her mother. It was very comfortable to be with him.

There's no need to rack your brains thinking about what to do next; the source has the best plan, so just enjoy your time.

That sense of security I'd never felt before, except in my mother's arms.

Listening to him talk about his work, eating together at the next table, occasionally playfully bickering with him, and experiencing the joy of being cared for by him.

So many memories came flooding back.

Although it was just an ordinary day, Aino felt that these two or three months were much richer and more exciting than the past thousand years.

Come to think of it, she had forgotten what those failed reincarnations of Indra looked like.

The constant failures caused her to lose her sensitivity to time; she simply kept lying in wait, observing and looking for opportunities, which resulted in very vague memories of that period.

Here, she remembered being bullied by Kiyoshi Gen to the point of being dizzy and confused; she remembered Kiyoshi Gen working hard; she remembered Kiyoshi Gen's first conversation with her mother.

Especially after having a physical body, the memories became more vivid.

These memories are like countless stars dotting the dark night sky, and almost every one of these brilliant stars bears the shadow of Kiyoshi Gen.

Perhaps it was only after she acquired the identity of "Otsutsuki Aino" that she truly began to live.

And all of this is thanks to "him".

Her cherry-like lips curved slightly, her gaze softened, and her joy was palpable.

"Probably all of them."

Perhaps from the moment she wanted to help Kiyoshi Gen realize his ideals, she was attracted by his charm.

For some reason, I felt very calm.

In that instant, Aino Otsutsuki saw herself clearly.

She was Otsutsuki Aino; Black Zetsu was merely the lingering obsession of the dead.

Mom, I think I know how you feel.

"It seems that my Aiye really likes Xiaoyuan."

Miki gently took Aino's hand, and she could hear the emotions brewing in his last words.

"Everyone has their own charm."

"Aino, just be yourself."

"If you're worried, then come and join us every day for flower arranging, dancing, learning the piano, and practicing the tea ceremony."

"When you have someone you love in your heart, doing these things can help you calm down."

"They will develop into a unique personality within you over time."

"Don't doubt yourself, believe that you are the most beautiful."

Miki is now like a gentle teacher, guiding Aino through her confusion.
