Uchiha clan, in the home of the great Uchiha elder.
After eating, the great elder left them under the pretext that he was busy with something.
The reason is that he deliberately left time for them to coexist on their own and get to know each other.
After the initial awkward chat, Ryota and Mikoto also talked more smoothly.
Although the two were not in the same class in the ninja school, they were also in the ninja school at the same time. It's just that Mikoto is older than him so she was in another grade class, so naturally there would also be topics to talk about...
As the conversation progresses, Ryota comes to have more of an understanding of Mikoto's character.
This is a sweet, kind and virtuous girl, but she is also a bit shy.
Ryota would tell some jokes from his previous life from time to time, and he could make her laugh for a long time.
...
"It's not too early, so I'll be back today."
When Ryota saw that it was getting late, he couldn't help but slowly stand up and bid farewell to Mikoto.
Although their conversation was enjoyable, it was too late
"I'll drop you off..."
Although Mikoto hesitated when she heard Ryota saying goodbye, she knew it was too late, so Mikoto stood up with a red face and said.
She was really happy today, and spent almost the entire afternoon laughing from time to time.
After exiting Mikoto's house, Mikoto sent Ryota all the way to the Uchiha clan gate.
The road is the same as when I came here, and there are also people from the Uchiha clan looking at them along the way.
Ryota didn't care, but Mikoto kept her head down shyly from other glances
"Okay, Mikoto!"
Looking at Mikoto, who was shy with her head down next to him, Ryota hesitated, then finally asked, "If your grandfather forced you to be with me, you can tell me that and I will tell him so he won't force you."
Because he doesn't want to do anything like force someone to have a relationship with him
Although he is not a good person, but at least in the matter of relationships, he prefers to have it by mutual consent between the two parties, without any coercion by a third party
So he finally asked Mikoto this question,
"No... Grandpa didn't force me..."
As if she knew Ryota's fears, Mikoto finally raised her head, looked at him, and said very seriously
Ryota was not the first person her grandfather introduced her to, but she still rejected her grandfather and did not meet these people
But when her grandfather told her this time that the person he introduced to her was Ryota, she was so happy that she stayed up all night because of it.
Because when she was in ninja school, most of the girls in the school were like Ryota, and she was also among these girls
But not long after their graduation, she received news that Ryota was a descendant of the Senju clan
After hearing this news, it was like the sky falling for her, because she knew at the time that there was no hope between her and Ryota due to the Grievances between the two clans over the years
Although Senju and Uchiha founded Konoha together, the grievances between the two families persist to this day.
So she buried the secret admiration in her heart and thought that it would fade away with time, but unfortunately this admiration did not disappear over time, but instead increased.
But she did not expect that her grandfather would introduce Ryota himself to her like a dream come true, so she was very happy then
When she talked to Ryota all day, she was so happy that she could finally spend time with him
"Huh...that's good!"
"But aren't you supposed to reject your grandfather's arrangement and then your grandfather forces you, then you run away and meet another person, and this person challenges me within 3 years and defeats me? To prove your vision is correct."
Ryota breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Mikoto's answer. But then he joked with her
Mikoto raised her head to look at him when she hearing Ryota's words and looked at him with a strange look in her eyes
"Huh, why are you looking at me like that?"
Mikoto said astonishment: "I didn't expect you to have an imagination like that, not like your personality."
She also didn't expect Ryota, who looked cold on the outside, to be so funny on the inside.
"Oh, my personality? What do you think my personality looks like?"
Ryota's curiosity was piqued, when he heard her, mention his personality
"Well you seem very cold.. and it's hard to get people to get close to you.. that's what I saw during ninja school."
Mikoto said after thinking about it
"Oh, so do you like my current personality or my personality at the time of ninja school?!"
Ryota continued to ask, because he wanted to tease her
Because Mikoto wasn't the first person to tell him that about his days in ninja school, all thought he had a cold personality, so he wasn't surprised when he heard her say that he had a cold personality.
"Well I don't know"
Mikoto replied with her head down with a red face
"I want your answer"
Ryota approached her, raised her chin, lowered his head, looked into her eyes, and said
" now "
Mikoto's heart was beating hard and she answered shyly
"Ha ha, okay, I'll go back first."
Ryota laughed and let go of Mikoto's chin and bid her farewell when he almost saw that steam would come out of her head if he kept Harassing her.
But after a few steps, he suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, can I come to you tomorrow?"
The reason he asked that was because he found it fun to tease Mikoto
"... you can."
Mikoto replied in a whisper, had he not had excellent hearing, he would not have heard her
"So it's a deal~"
Ryota waved his hand and turned to leave again, but the smile on his face became brighter.
Mikoto stood in front of the Uchiha clan gate, watching Ryota's figure move further and further away, finally disappearing around the corner.
At this time, her face was completely red with embarrassment and her heart was beating strongly.
She stood for a while until she returned to normal and recovered from her shy.
She opened her lips and let out a sigh of relief.
Today for her was like a dream
Finally looking in the direction where Ryota had disappeared again, Mikoto then returned home.
...
"Mikoto.....how do you feel about that?"
Once Mikoto entered the house, the great elder did not know when he had returned home.
The first time he saw Mikoto, the great elder smiled and asked.
"What...what about that, I don't know what you're talking about..."
Mikoto's cheeks were covered in red again. She stammered as she answered and turned around lightly and ran back to her room as if to escape.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
When the Great Elder saw Mikoto's behavior, he laughed heartily.
