definitive quote.

A few days have passed since then.

Things with Tenten and Ino seem to be getting better day by day along with my heartbreak.

But I still choose to ignore it because no matter how hard I try to think about it, I still can't find the cause.

So I can only watch as the days go by.

...

Today is a day like another but something different.

I have a vague feeling that something is about to happen today.

I find myself walking with Ino as we head out of Konoha.

-Ino-

The day has come.

'Today I will make my move'

'I've been waiting a long time for this'

Today I will make him accept me.

I feel the emotion burn inside me like a flame.

Although my logic tells me not to do it because he is not the prince I expected, on the contrary my heart says that he is the only person in my life.

Today by the guidance of my heart I will go to battle.

(Although her mind keeps saying that Satsuki's brother looks better but she ignores it for the time being)

'Today I will declare (although he had already done it before but he was undecided because of what he would say that this time does not count)'

I feel nervous every second that passes.

*inhale*

*exhale*

'Calm down Ino, today you must do your best performance'

She says to herself.

'Then I should first corner him so he can't escape'

--

"Why are we going to the forest?"

"Wait a bit, now you'll find out"

She doesn't want to tell me, but seeing the basket that she carries in one hand, I already imagine that we will have a picnic deep in the woods.

'Isn't this dangerous? What if a bear shows up?'

Although I am not the most suitable to say such words.

-Try-

Today I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Maybe because out there I heard that they saw Yubeng walking with another girl.

And that made me think especially today because I decided to go out today to look for him.

Although in my heart I still believe they are having the wrong person.

...

After a while of searching I still can't find where he is.

"Where are you?"

I have searched but found no trace of him and even asked some acquaintances I saw by chance.

Among which the most remarkable in Naraku, who today is in a strange way when he looks at me.

I try to think of a place where he could be but I can't think of any, I've already visited all the ones I can think of.

Then a memory comes to me.

'The forest, on the lake'

'Maybe you see this one there'

I had almost forgotten that place.

Since the incident that time he has never wanted to take me back, maybe out of consideration for me.

Even though it's not sure if he's there, I'll still try because I don't have anywhere else to go anyway.

--

We have been walking for a long time and we have arrived.

"..."

I'm speechless.

I am in a field of flowers that is in the middle of the forest.

'I was already saying why the road became so familiar to me'

"How about it, I found it while I was looking for some rare flowers"

"Hn..."

"?"

"No...I expected it, that there was a place like this in the middle of the forest"

She smiled as much as I can.

Seeing my expression she immediately changes her smiling face to a bored one.

"Who are you trying to fool, obviously your face says otherwise"

"!!"

'Impossible! How did you know?'

"But it's understandable, after all you don't understand the beauty of flowers"

Somehow I feel like I did something wrong.

"Ah-h...sorry..."

"But it doesn't matter, what matters today is that I wanted you to try some things"

"?, What thing?"

When I hear that I get curious.

I had been wondering for a while what she had in that basket but she didn't want to tell me.

"Here"

She brings out what appears to be a lunch.

-Ino-

'I have prepared your favorite food'

All these times when we visited from store to store it was not so blind.

She wanted to see what was the food that she liked the most.

After all I found out.

Although she always tries to hide it or hold back, I can tell that she really enjoys the food.

And I have a feeling that if I didn't suppress it then I would be like Choji.

Although if it was like this, it wouldn't bother me too much anyway.

After so many times I gradually found out what he liked.

She mostly loves things that have meat.

And precisely there was a recipe from my mother that has meat that she used to conquer my father.

From my mother I also learned that: 'a man is won over by his stomach'.

And for that this tactic is perfect against men.

"It's something I prepared especially for you"

Because she put it very close to her body, he can smell it.

"*glough*, for me?"

I find that self-pointing action amusing.

Then I laugh lightly.

"Hahaha, yes, take what is there in case you want to increase"

I pull the food closer to him just so he can hold it.

"Then, thank you"

She says her with a tone that shows happiness.

Watching as she starts to eat she stares at him with a smile on her face.

Seeing Yubeng's reactions, it seems that things are going great for him.

If this continues, there is no doubt that Ino's plan could be completed with a very high probability.

Because this simple act of giving him food has earned him a lot of favor.

And in the next few minutes he will be very willing to her.

So if no accident occurs, today a couple could leave that place.

--

-Try-

I'm in the lagoon but look where you look I still can't find it.

Sigh.

'Where are you?'

This is the last place that came to mind.

'Where else would you go...?'

I sit on the grass.

The discomfort in my heart becomes more and more restless.

To try to calm my mind I look at a flower that is in front of me.

"A Margarite...?"

"!!"

'Hang on a minute'

Suddenly I remember a place which I have not visited.

"The Field of Flowers"

Reminding myself of that place, I immediately leave the lake.

--

After eating I feel comfortable.

*gulp* *gulp*

After drinking the water he gave me, I feel very satisfied.

Right now my preference for her is very high, even if it's only momentary.

"Hahh, that was delicious, who prepared it?"

"Hahaha, you flatter me, my mother taught me"

"Well, I have to say that she turned out wonderfully"
