Then Yugao hands me a glass of water and a pill.
Then without much thought he took the glass of water and the pill.
I quickly drink the pill with the water.
A cold-fresh feeling runs through my mind.
"*glup**glup*-hah ah hah..."(Yubeng was dying of thirst)
I feel like I haven't had a drink of water in a long time.
So I hand him back the glass.
"Now rest a while longer"
Then she pushes my shoulder easily causing me to lay back on the bed.
"Rest well"
She then walks out the door closing it on the spot.
*door closing*
.
"..."
After the departure she raised half her body again.
Everything here gives me doubts but what has me worried now is...
'Now I really fucked up with Sakura right?'
*grab jaw*
"Nh-*painful expression*, my jaw"
I feel a persistent pain in my jaw.
'That girl hits so hard, how is it possible that she has so much strength?'
'I wonder how she must be? I don't think she's in a very good mood right now.'
"..."
'Damn, I should have given him more relaxation potion'
Although I want to go to her to fix things somehow, I am aware that right now is not the best time, I should give her some space.
*sigh*
I lay back down on the bed.
'I'm sleepy'
My headache makes my vision blur and sleep slowly engulfs me. (Sometimes I wonder why Yubeng is so weak in this kind of situation)
"zzz..."
...
*open the eyes*
He looked at an unknown ceiling.
*raise half body*
Through the window I see that it is already night.
'Looks like I had a good nap'
I get up from the bed and start walking towards the door.
*open*
Crossing it, I find myself standing in the hallway.
'This place is spacious'
"Mn?"
Then suddenly I feel my nostrils being assaulted by the smell of something that appears to be food.
'That smells good, has the neighbor cooked?'
Whatever it is I head towards the stands.
After going down the stairs I continue towards the source of the smell.
So I find myself in the kitchen and there I observe the neighbor.
She is on her back with an apron while she is cooking.
She turns and speaks without the slightest surprise on her face or tone.
"Well, I see you're awake, I still need to cook a little so you can wait in the dining room, I'm done now"
Then she goes back to her own thing without paying more attention.
Listening to her words, I continued to do what she told me.
What do you expect me to do? I'm in someone else's house so I behave.
I sit on one of the dining room chairs and wait patiently.
...
After a while without me noticing she appears next to me putting a plate on the table.
'How fast and silent, she must be a ninja and because of how silent she is, she must be part of the anbu squad'
I deduce that fact quickly, although I already knew it beforehand because in my memories the original work was also like that.
"Here you have"
After putting the plate she goes to another chair to put her plate too.
"Thanks for the food" (pda: for those who do not know this is a phrase of respect that the Japanese say when they are going to eat their food, they are not really thanking anyone (or maybe yes, no or I know, investigate) )
Then she starts eating.
Seeing her actions I also follow her footsteps.
"Thanks for the food"
And I start to eat.
*chew on*
*swallow*
'Delicious'
Maybe it's because of hunger but now I really feel that the food is very tasty.
Then I quickly start eating faster.
Yugao who eats quietly didn't even bother to cast a glance at this behavior of hers, she just eats while her gaze is directed to nowhere in particular (she seems to be staring into space), but that doesn't stop her from eating rhythmically. .
...
"Thanks for the food, it was really very tasty"
"I'm glad you like it"
She says that but it's her face I don't see any smile.
'What a peculiar person'
Then she suddenly noticed something that catches my eye hanging on the wall.
Hanging on the part is a very expensive and detailed looking katana.
It has patterns in the form of wind.
This katana has the appearance of being very unique as it is rare to see a very ornate sword being used by a ninja, this would be more the style of a high ranking samurai, a great swordsman or something similar.
"Is that katana yours?"
she asked her curiously.
"It belonged to someone who lived a long time ago"
"A relic?"
"Something like that"
Well, that would make more sense.
I'm surprised she has a hobby of collecting that kind of stuff.
That's rare for a ninja, since our life is based on simplicity.
"It's late, how about-"
"Thank you ma'am but I think it would be a bother to stay here longer so I think I should go home, I really appreciate everything you have done for me"
Before she can finish her words I state my intentions.
'What a joke, I'm not a person who takes advantage of the goodwill of others so much, I think that taking care of myself while I was sick and inviting me to dinner have been enough for me'
"Oh, then I won't keep you anymore, go, tomorrow you must go to the academy early"
"Thank Mrs"
So after a few more thanks I propose to leave your house.
"Oh right I almost forgot, that girl broke some of your door"
"Mn?"
"I mean that girl with pink hair who left your house"
"Oh, thanks for the reminder neighbor..."
Even though I say that, my face instantly turns red and my body breaks into a deep sweat.
'She knows what happened?!!'
If so then I really feel like burying my head in the ground.
But I calm down knowing that shouldn't be possible since she shouldn't be casually snooping around my house.
That thought calms me.
