Chapter 108 Arrogance is unworthy to be an opponent!
"Sasuke! We've come to visit you!"
Uchiha Sasuke opened the door and found that Haruko Hayama, with a bright smile, was followed by many people.
Nara Shikamaru, Uzumaki Naruto, Yamanaka Ino...
Is this guy here to throw a party?
Sasuke Uchiha's lips twitched slightly, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only invite them in.
"Wow, this is my first time visiting Sasuke's house! It's so big and beautiful!" Yamanaka Ino exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.
Nara Shikamaru, following behind, said with considerable annoyance, "This is such a hassle, why do I have to come along too..."
Naruto looked at him strangely, "Didn't Shikamaru come to visit Sasuke?"
Nara Shikamaru glanced silently at Hayama Haruko, who was chatting happily with Yamanaka Ino in front of him, and whispered, "She was tricked into coming here by some idiot."
He thought dejectedly of Haruko Hayama, who had come to his house for dinner before—
"Is Shikamaru free tomorrow?"
"...What are you planning to do now?" Nara Shikamaru was already immune to her affectionate gaze.
"If Shikamaru is free, would you like to come hang out with me?" Haruko Hayama invited.
"With you?" Nara Shikamaru repeated cautiously.
Haruko nodded. "I want to go buy something. Can Shikamaru come with me?"
“…Either is fine.” Nara Shikamaru reluctantly agreed.
Looking at Haruko Hayama beside him, who was delighted by his words, Shikamaru Nara inexplicably began to look forward to tomorrow.
result……
After quickly finishing shopping with Haruko, Nara Shikamaru had already sensed something was wrong when he encountered Naruto Uzumaki and Ino Yamanaka. It wasn't until now, walking down the corridor of Sasuke Uchiha's house, that Shikamaru realized he had been tricked.
How many more times do I have to be fooled by that idiot before I'm satisfied?!
Nara Shikamaru's face grew even uglier.
After sitting down in the reception room, while his mother was greeting the others, Uchiha Sasuke quietly moved closer to Hayama Haruko.
"You came, fine, but why did these guys come along too?"
Haruko gave him a strange look. "Of course, it's because we're concerned about Sasuke that we all came together."
Sasuke Uchiha was so shocked by her words that his ears turned red and he was speechless.
Naruto Uzumaki: Haruko said she'd bring me here for a free meal!
Nara Shikamaru: I've been tricked by this troublesome woman again...
Ino Yamanaka: Sasuke's family! Sasuke's family!
Completely unaware of the true situation, Uchiha Sasuke quietly raised his voice and said, "Thank...cough, thank you for coming."
The others, unaware of what was going on, stared at him in surprise, unconsciously revealing expressions of "Is Sasuke really such a polite person?"
Uchiha Sasuke: ...Take back my emotion.
Haruko noticed his embarrassment and thoughtfully offered him a gift.
"Sasuke, I bought a ton of tomatoes!"
Looking at the large bag of tomatoes on the table, Uchiha Sasuke fell silent for a moment.
"Who gives tomatoes as a gift when visiting someone? You rascal!"
Haruko asked in surprise, "But doesn't Sasuke like tomatoes?"
“…That’s not the same thing.” Unable to explain further, Uchiha Sasuke gave up trying to explain.
Haruko looked around and said, "By the way, where's Itachi? I bought him some tricolor dumplings."
Uchiha's mother explained with a smile, "Itachi has gone on a mission and may not be back for a while."
"I see. It's a pity that dumplings taste better when they're hot." Haruko Hayama said she missed out on a fortune.
Uchiha's mother didn't disturb their playtime. After giving Uchiha Sasuke some instructions, she left the house.
Yamanaka Ino whispered to Hayama Haruko, "Haruko, what do you think are the chances of me becoming Sasuke's girlfriend?"
Haruko thought about it seriously for a while, "Hmm...it depends on whether you, Ino, meet Sasuke's requirements for a partner, right?"
"That's true. There were rumors that Sasuke liked girls with long hair, so I even grew my hair out for a long time." Yamanaka Ino touched her long golden hair.
"Really? So Sasuke likes girls with long hair." This was the first time Haruko Hayama had heard this. "Then Ino has a good chance. After all, you're so pretty, what guy wouldn't be attracted to you?"
“Where isn’t there? That guy is it.” Yamanaka Ino looked speechlessly at the bored Nara Shikamaru across from her.
Sensing the gazes of the two girls, Nara Shikamaru exclaimed in confusion, "Huh?"
“…Okay, except for Shikamaru,” Haruko Hayama added seriously.
Nara Shikamaru: ...Two troublesome women.
At that moment, Naruto Uzumaki came over and asked, "Haruko, what are you two talking about?"
Yamanaka Ino pressed his head back down. "It's a girl's topic. Boys shouldn't eavesdrop!"
"Hey—why can't I hear it?" Naruto Uzumaki protested.
Haruko Hayama came up with a good idea: "What kind of type does Naruto like?"
"Me?" Naruto pointed to himself, then thought for a moment, "I like girls like Haruko!"
"Huh?!" ×2
Yamanaka Ino looked excited, while Uchiha Sasuke was incredulous.
Knowing the truth, Nara Shikamaru said helplessly, "You, do you even know what you mean?"
Naruto glared at him resentfully, "Of course I know! It's because Haruko is a very gentle girl, and she's especially, especially nice to me, so I like Haruko the most!"
"Sigh..." Yamanaka Ino suddenly deflated.
Sasuke Uchiha coughed lightly and sat up straight, while the clueless Naruto Uzumaki was still criticizing Shikamaru Nara for underestimating him.
Haruko spoke up again: "We know about Shikamaru, but what kind of girl does Sasuke like?"
"Huh?" Nara Shikamaru sat up in surprise. "What? You guys knew?"
Haruko Hayama, feeling guilty for unintentionally revealing the secret, looked away, and the other three people in the know pretended not to hear.
Nara Shikamaru: ...You must have said that, right?!
Haruko urged, "Sasuke, hurry up and tell us!"
Meeting their curious gazes, Uchiha Sasuke remained silent for a moment.
After thinking for a moment, she gave a vague answer: "Probably... long hair, a good personality, and sometimes she's a bit silly..."
Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Hayama Haruko subconsciously, then realized what he had done and suddenly stood up.
Especially when faced with Haruko's curious and silly expression, Sasuke Uchiha ran away, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.
His clumsy excuse drifted on the wind: "I...I'll go get some food!"
Only they remained in the reception room, each with their own distinct expression.
Haruko Hayama: (Suddenly realizing) So Sasuke likes people who aren't smart. What a strange hobby.
Ino Yamanaka: (A complicated story) Am I going to become stupid for love?!
Naruto Uzumaki: (Leaves the group chat) I'm so hungry!
Nara Shikamaru, the only one who saw through the whole situation, shook his head helplessly when he saw Hayama Haruko's expression of "Sasuke is actually this kind of person."
As expected, arrogance is no match for being an opponent.
