Chapter 46 Sesame Filling
"Little friend, would you like to come with us?" the snow elf's father asked him with a smile. "Our home is in the Land of Fire. We're just here on a mission. If you come with us, you'll have to leave your hometown."
These words gave Bai Xiwang renewed hope, and he nodded in agreement almost without hesitation.
Bai didn't quite understand the meaning of "hometown." Did it mean the place where one lived? But he didn't have a place to live. If he could be with the snow elf, he would do anything.
"Yay! That's great!" the snow elf cheered, raising her hand.
Bai met her bright, sparkling eyes, and the corners of his lips curved into a slight smile.
The snow elf was very happy, that was wonderful.
Bai left the place where he had been wandering for so long, but he would never need to wander again.
"What's your name, big brother?" the snow elf asked him.
Bai shook his head.
"Don't you have a name? Can I give you one?" The snow elf excitedly grasped his hand.
"Nonsense, Haruko." Her mother, standing beside her, looked disapproving. "He should be the one to decide this kind of thing."
"Oh, I see..." The snow elf looked disappointed.
Not wanting to see the snow fairy unhappy, Bai parted his lips slightly, hesitated for a moment before finally making up his mind, and awkwardly uttered, "Qing...zi..."
"Big brother, did you speak?!" The snow elf's face lit up with surprise.
"Haruko..."
Bai repeated it again, this time much more skillfully than before.
"I'm here, big brother! My name is Haruko Hayama!"
"Morning..."
"Yes! Haruko Ayam!"
"Morning... Haruko..."
Bai will never forget this name.
Haruko Hayama.
His reason for existence...
*
"Bai! Let me go first, I need to use the restroom!"
As the saying goes, everyone has three urgent needs, and Haruko felt like she was about to leave the human race.
Bai has been with them for almost a month, but perhaps because no one has taught him, Bai lacks knowledge of many common sense things.
So, as Haku's younger sister, Haruko Hayama resolutely took on the responsibility of teaching him, and gradually Haku became no different from other children.
No, there are still some.
For example, Bai, for some reason, especially likes to stick close to her.
At first, Haruko was just worried that Shiro wouldn't know how to get around, so she would take him out to familiarize himself with the surroundings. Later, Haruko wanted to be a "parent" who let go, but Shiro refused and always wanted to hold her hand, afraid that she would leave him.
So when Haruko rushed to the toilet in the morning, Shiro followed her to the toilet because he refused to let go.
Of course, if Haruko Hayama insists that he let go, he will, but Haruko Hayama will gain a little white rabbit with tears welling up in its eyes, crying silently.
"..."
I'm the one who should be crying!
For example, Bai's understanding of emotions is also very superficial.
"Why are those two hugging?" Shiro asked, puzzled, looking at the idol drama channel that Haruko had switched to.
"Because the male lead misunderstood the female lead, he cried and hugged her, begging for her forgiveness. The female lead felt that he had seen her love and immediately forgave him."
After finishing her biscuit in the morning, Haruko clicked her tongue in amazement and exclaimed, "This is truly a marathon story."
"marathon?"
"Oh no, it should be Mary Sue."
"Mary Sue?"
Actually, Haruko Hayama wasn't very interested in idol dramas, but unfortunately, Konoha's entertainment industry wasn't very developed, and idol dramas were already the best channel on it. The other shows were things like Mrs. Tahara's cat giving birth to two cats and a dog, the release of a new pink shuriken, and the Third Hokage's daily life at home, etc...
Haruko couldn't help but recall her mother's complaints about the Third Hokage, who had previously complained that he was a henpecked husband and that he was two-faced.
Tsk tsk tsk, adults are really putting on airs.
“However, I think the male lead doesn’t love the female lead at all. If he did, he wouldn’t have misunderstood her.” Haruko Hayama commented on both sides equally. “The female lead is the same. She clearly only loves the male lead’s money.”
Unable to glean any understanding from her description, Bai tilted his head and asked, "Love?"
Hearing his question, Haruko Hayama habitually explained to him, "Love is the feeling of wanting to protect the other person, stay with the other person, and like the other person for a lifetime."
After thinking for a moment, Bai leaned closer to her and asked, "Qingzi, do you feel my love?"
Haruko remained unmoved and even stuffed a cookie into his mouth, saying, "This one is different."
"Haruko, don't you want my love?" Feeling brushed off, Shirai took the cookie out of her mouth, her expression one of disappointment.
Haruko Hayama, feeling inexplicably guilty, stiffened up and explained to him gently, "It's not that I don't want it, but this kind of love is different. The love I was talking about is the kind of love that only exists between partners."
Bai, whose train of thought didn't quite click, pressed on, "Is it because we're not partners that I can't love Haruko?"
"...Well, it seems that's true." Four-year-old Haruko Hayama sorted out her logic: because she's not a partner, she doesn't have a partner's love, which makes sense.
To everyone's surprise, Bai looked serious and said, word by word, "Then I want to be Haruko's partner."
"A partner is someone only adults can become."
"Can I be Haruko's partner when I grow up?"
"..." Haruko put down the cookie in her hand, feeling that things were getting more and more outrageous.
"Huh? What partner?" The mother, who had just returned home in the morning, heard the two children's adorable conversation as soon as she walked in the door and came over with a smile to gossip.
With a serious little face, Shiro sat upright and looked at her mother in the morning, saying, "When I grow up, I want to be Haruko's partner."
In the morning, Mom suddenly laughed, "Really?"
Haruko Hayama, unable to understand, looked at her expectantly, hoping to entrust the important task of teaching Shiro to her own mother, but Haruko's mother completely misunderstood her meaning.
"Then you must work hard, Shiro. When you grow up and are able to stand on your own, I'll entrust Haruko to you!" In the morning, her mother patted Shiro's head and happily entrusted her daughter to him.
"Okay, I'll do my best." Bai immediately sat up straighter after receiving permission, his pure black eyes sparkling with joy.
Haruko closed her eyes in pain in the morning, wondering what kind of teachings were being given.
When Haku grew a little older and became more fluent and knowledgeable, he joined Haruko Hayama at the Ninja Academy.
Previously, Haruko had refused to go to school first, because without her, how could Shiro take care of herself?
Haruko Hayashi, burdened with heavy responsibilities: Shiro can't live without me!
Shiro, now turned into sesame filling: Yes, I can't live without Haruko!
