Tenten and the others' suspicious, wary gazes instantly turned to Kurenai.
Just as one wave settles, another wave rises.
'These vixens are jumping out one by one!'
"Cough! Cough! Cough!", KANKO, what Chapter 193: You're Not Getting Any Sleep Tonight are you spouting?"
Anko had a mischievous smile on her face, "But last time, you two were clearly a single man and a single woman, drinking at home together, and after you got drunk, you even... mm!"
Anko's mouth was covered, and the words that followed couldn't come out.
Kurenai was tightly pinching Anok's mouth shut. She was starting to regret coming out with this woman today.
How did she end up with such a troublesome friend.
Noticing the increasingly wary and hostile looks from the others, a trace of an awkward smile appeared on Kurenai's face.
"Let me explain...", Kurenai carefully explained the matter of inviting Aoba over to her home a while back.
"I think what you all should really be worried about right now is that Terumi Mei. From what I can see, that woman seems very eager to get married."
"Get married?"
Reminded by Kurenai, everyone's attention turned back to Terumi Mei.
They began discussing how to deal with Terumi Mei.
———
At the same time.
[Aoba's House]
He was already dripping with sweat.
After listening to Aoba's general explanation, Yugao silently sat at the dining table, raising a kitchen knife.
Though it was just a kitchen knife, for someone like her, a master of swordsmanship, it wasn't a big deal.
However, her dark gaze never once left Terumi Mei's face.
Only Terumi Mei still didn't understand what was going on, feeling a little baffled.
'Isn't this woman the kid's older sister?'
'Why does she look at me like she's my sworn enemy? But those knife skills aren't bad, must be a sword expert.'
'Could it be that she's jealous because her little brother brought a girl home?'
'Looks like she's a possessive older sister.'
But she wasn't afraid at all.
Since she planned to lure this kid over to Kirigakure, she definitely had to pass through his older sister's gate first.
After figuring it out, a smile appeared on Terumi Mei's face, and she straightened her back slightly.
Showing off her sexy figure even more.
She subtly emphasized her own advantages.
Yugao raised an eyebrow when she saw this.
'Is this a provocation?'
Aoba was already breaking into cold sweat, 'Is this going to end in a bloodbath?'
'If a fight really breaks out, I'll have to help Yugao-nee. Otherwise, Yugao-nee isn't Terumi Mei's match.'
After a long silence, Terumi Mei took the initiative to greet Yugao.
"Hello! I—"
Thud!
But before she could finish, the knife in Yugao's hand stabbed into the table, cutting her off.
Terumi Mei narrowed her eyes. That stab felt like it was aimed at her.
Yugao asked flatly, "So... you'll be living with Aoba for this entire month leading up to the Chunin Exams?"
Terumi Mei's expression didn't change. She nodded with a faint smile, "That's what your Hokage decided."
"I see..."
"If it's a mission, then nothing can be done," Yugao stood up from her seat and pulled the kitchen knife out of the table.
"Yugao-nee…", Aoba tried to get up to explain, but was pushed back into his seat by Yugao.
She leaned over and whispered in his ear, "We'll talk tonight."
After speaking, she walked into the kitchen, her expression unchanged.
"Looks like I'll have to start cooking for one more person."
"If it's cooking, I can actually help too," Terumi Mei stood up and spoke to Yugao.
Yugao turned her head with a gentle expression, "No need. How can we let a guest do something like cooking?"
"Uh... then thank you. I'll pay for the lodging," Terumi Mei slightly bowed to express thanks.
"Mm," Yugao nodded to her kindly, then entered the kitchen and began chopping vegetables.
Aoba also let out a sigh of relief, but he could already feel a sore back coming on.
'Some things can't be explained with one mouth, so two mouths it is.'
But just as he finally relaxed, Terumi Mei sat down next to him, and a subtle voice reached his ear, "Looks like your sister has a very strong desire to control you."
Aoba ignored her sarcasm and calmly got up to sit in the seat farthest from her.
Only then did Yugao's chopping speed return to normal.
Terumi Mei was a little surprised. She had also heard the strange rhythm of the chopping earlier.
She just hadn't expected this kid to have such an adorable side.
This contrast was even more heart-stirring than his previous demeanor.
But she didn't continue getting closer either. After all, there was more than a month ahead, she had plenty of time.
'No need to rush…'
———
Because of the extra light bulb in the way, dinner ended quickly.
Even though Terumi Mei kept trying to make small talk to get closer, Yugao mostly ignored her.
It was basically cold violence.
"You'll rest here tonight," Yugao led Terumi Mei to a freshly cleaned guest room.
"Alright, thank you," Terumi Mei thanked Yugao, then showed a troubled expression, "Um... do you have clean underwear and pajamas to change into?"
Yugao frowned, "Didn't you buy some during the day?"
She had seen the other woman carrying quite a few clothes.
"It was too late, so I didn't keep shopping and forgot to buy that. I'll get them tomorrow," Terumi Mei had only been focused on trying clothes and didn't consider this issue.
"..."
"I have some unworn ones. I'll go get them," Yugao left expressionlessly and soon returned with several sets of underwear and sleepwear.
Terumi Mei took them with a complicated expression.
"Is there a problem?", Yugao asked, confused.
"N-No."
"That's fine then. I already told you where the bathroom is. Rest well," After that, Yugao left the guest room.
Once she was gone, Terumi Mei took out the underwear and held it up in front of herself to compare sizes.
'Sure enough, they are a few sizes too small.'
'Tomorrow... I'd better go buy some myself.'

[Late Night]
Aoba lay nervously on his bed.
Not long after, the bedroom door opened.
Yugao was still wearing a purple nightdress.
"Yugao-nee…", Aoba sat up.
Yugao didn't even close the door fully before pouncing toward him.
After a round of tongue-on-tongue battle, the two finally separated.
"Sorry, I couldn't hold it back," Yugao's face was flushed, "Let's clear this up now."
Aoba felt his tongue going numb, "This is a mission from the teacher…"
"Don't use that as an excuse. Lady Tsunade would never force you to do something you really didn't want to do. And you acting like this... could it be you have feelings for that Terumi Mei?", Yugao's eyes narrowed.
"Ugh—", Aoba felt his sword hilt being grabbed by a delicate hand, which was even gently caressing the patterns on it.
He hurriedly changed the subject, "Yugao... nee, I think... the teacher might already know about us."
"Hmm?", Yugao's eyes flickered slightly, but quickly returned to normal, 'That woman has no right to interfere in our relationship.'
'Still...'
"She probably found out. But from the looks of it, maybe Lady Tsunade has some other thoughts about you."
"Huh?", Aoba's mouth dropped open. Thinking back to Tsunade's reactions these past couple of days, it did feel kind of like a jealous schoolgirl.
"So, Aoba, do you have thoughts about Lady Tsunade too?", Yugao tightened her grip on the sword hilt.
Aoba felt his soul waver. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I'm sorry… Yugao-nee…"
Yugao puffed up her cheeks, "Lady Tsunade is your teacher!"
"..."
"Looks like Aoba's not just a pervert, he's a massive perv."
"I really want to lock you up so no one can ever find you again," Yugao was furious, but couldn't bear to hit Aoba.
'When I give birth to Aoba's child in the future, I am definitely going to beat the kid up every day to vent my anger.'
"I'm sorry… Yugao-nee…", Right now, Aoba didn't want to think anymore.
"Hmph! Aoba, you're not sleeping tonight! Get ready!", After her usual tough talk, Yugao sat down in her now-familiar spot.
Finally, after hundreds of rounds, Aoba activated the Yin Seal, making Yugao roll her eyes and lose consciousness.
He ended the battle early.
Aoba once dreamed of becoming someone outstanding, and now, he was halfway there.
