Relaxation.

"I hope you know what you're doing..."

"Come on, I came here for you to give me a solution, not for you to ask me"

Although I think I already released too much information, lesson learned: don't ask Shikamaru this kind of thing in the future (you can release more information than you should).

"But I don't understand why you insist on asking me? I don't know anything, I don't even have friends"

"You should have said that at the beginning, now you know a lot, you have no escape from this"

"..."

Shikamaru is speechless at my answer, he opens his mouth to say something but in the end he is left with the question in his throat.

"*sigh*, so what's your problem with her?"

"You see, whenever I do something to attract her attention I end up with her reacting in the way I don't want"

"And what is the problem?"

"The problem is that she still sees me as a friend, I want her to see me differently"

"...(Shikamaru more lost than she is)"

"..."

She looked at him patiently waiting for an answer.

"..."

"I don't know, maybe you should make her tell you if you have a chance with her to start with"

"Good idea but how do I do that to start"

"I don't know, think for yourself, I already gave you the idea"

"Hey you haven't even given me a way to do as you expect me to make her tell me"

"I don't know, it's not my problem"

Then I see that he lowers his head to snuggle in her arms again.

When I'm about to insist I suddenly remembered a fact that I was ignoring.

"Hey Shikamaru, drunk people tend to tell the truth don't they?"

"Yes"

"Bingo, I already have the solution for her to speak without herself"

Then Shikamaru raises his head in surprise at my words.

"Oy oy, you don't plan to give him alcohol right, that's against the rules"

"Don't worry I won't give him alcohol although I think that in principle he wouldn't accept such a thing, instead I have something better, hehehe, I knew I could trust you Shikamaru, you are a genius after all, see you later, now I have to start planning

So with the answer to my question I walk away from Shikamaru.

Shikamaru behind me is speechless.

"Seriously you are a bunch of problems, one of these days someone is going to hit you...well it's not my problem, I'm sleepy..."

Then he settles into his arms trying to forget everything that happened.

...

'Friendship relaxation potion, how could I forget such a thing, I think because I haven't used it for a long time I ended up forgetting about them'

In my opinion, that potion seems like a powerful alcohol (although I'm not sure about this since it has barely been tested) that influences people.

'Then now the question would be how to make him drink it'

'I could give it as if it were a casual drink'

'Or maybe I would make a tea with him and give it to him under the premise that the process of making tea has not made its effects disappear'

"..."

I keep thinking but I can't think of anything reliable.

'Screw it, I'll come up with something right now, it's not like it's impossible to make a little girl with no experience of the world drink some water of suspicious origin'

With that in mind I decided to go out looking for her.

...

It's been a while and I'm following Sakura.

It hasn't been long since she left the academy so she didn't go very far.

'Let's see, now how should we proceed?'

"..."

Then a lightbulb went off in my mind.

'I know, why not be direct? She won't suspect it anyway'

Then I quickly walk towards her.

When I am at a close distance without her noticing me I greet her.

"Hello Sakura!"

"Hah!!"

Then I see that she is startled by my sudden appearance.

"Yuu! Don't scare me like that! You almost scared me to death"

I am surprised with her lecturing me.

(So ​​here begins the blah blah blah)

...

"So what are you doing here?"

"Well I was about to go to practice and I wanted to ask you if you wanted to be my practice partner"

"Me?"

"Yes, you know, the exam is coming up and then it would be ideal for us to measure our skills, right?"

"Thank you, but no, I am confident that I will pass those exams"

"But it is important to receive the opinion of others from time to time to see if we are failing in something"

"What failures? The exam will be on basic techniques, I think it would be very easy to detect failures if they were"

"Well You Never Know"

"..."

"..."

"Okay, I already understood, but it's a real pity really"

"Mn? Why would it be a shame?"

"Well, the other day I heard Satsuki say that she would really be surprised to see someone do a perfect basic technique like she's going to do."

The moment I say Satsuki, Sakura's ear seems to grow.

She then quickly she walks over to me and grabs my clothes.

"What, did he really say that? When was it? Wait, why do you know that?"

"Wait a minute, don't shake me, let go of me first"

"Uh..."

Then she realizes that she was shaking me and she proceeds to let go of me.

"Well, regarding your question I overheard her say that by chance while she was posing when she was chatting with her brother"

"Oh, I get it, but wait, you're not going to do that to impress her, are you? I'm warning you Yuu, she wouldn't be interested in someone like you"

Then her aura changed from one moment to another.

"No no no, you're confusing me, she's coming to tell you this so you can train on time and impress her"

Then her aura returns to normal.

"oh it was like that"

Then she smiles awkwardly.

"Thank you Yuu, how sweet of you"

"No problem, that's what friends are for, right?"

"If you're right"

'Yes yes of course *snorting*'

"So that's why she wanted you to join me for training, maybe you can impress her somehow."

"But how could she do that, I don't think she can do it as well as her"

"Don't worry, in my opinion she must be aware of such a thing, which is why I suspect that she probably wants to see something similar instead of something the same"

"Yes, you have a point"

"So what are we waiting for? Let's start now that the day of the exam is getting closer and closer"

So she took him by the hand and dragged her with me.

"Wait a minute my stuff-"

"There is no time for that, time is running out"

"Okay, okay, but don't drag me like that..."
