At dusk, Mizuki, who had a rare chance to spare some time, cooked dinner by himself. After preparing everything, he waited for Xiaochun to come back and eat together.

During the lazy time, Mizuki had thought about going out for a walk. How was the business of the Four Seasons Flower Shop? Has Karin adapted to the life in Konoha? Also, it seemed that he was going to say goodbye to his teaching career in the Ninja School, so it would be nice to go and say hello to his former colleagues. But in the end, Mizuki didn't go anywhere. There are leisurely days, but there are not many times when he doesn't think about or worry about anything. Since he traveled through time, he has been running around for various things, and he has been forced to keep running forward by various pressures. Today, he decided to let himself go for once. Mizuki, who has never cooked since his rebirth, made a rare sumptuous dinner.

The profession of ninja is considered versatile, and many things can be done a little bit, including cooking. Ninjas on missions often encounter various environments, and the ability to survive independently is very important, especially for Konoha ninjas who have received orthodox education. Cooking is also an indispensable part. Although Mizuki has never cooked, he can make good dishes based on his memory, and then compare it with ready-made recipes, relying on his fine control.

When the lights came on, there was finally a noise at the door, and then Xiaochun in ninja vest finally came back.

"Hey, Shuimu, you're back." Xiaochun was also very happy to see her husband whom she hadn't seen for a few days. "Why don't you turn on the lights? It's dark."

"Ah, I waited for you to come back and wanted to give you a surprise!"

The real reason was actually that Shuimu ignored it. Recently, Shuimu could clearly feel that some changes seemed to have taken place in his body. For example, his eyesight was getting better and better. In this dim light, coupled with his outstanding perception, he did not notice how much the environment had changed, and even ignored it. Most people cannot see things clearly in this situation.

Xiaochun closed the door and walked in.

"Then I'll turn on the light." The room suddenly became brighter. "Is dinner ready? If you're hungry, eat first!"

"Let's eat together. We put a lot of effort into making so many dishes today."

In fact, Mizuki should be thankful that there is no such luxury as candlelight dinner in this world, especially among ninjas who value efficiency, meaningless romance is really not popular. This word is probably the same as wasting time. Of course, it is not without market. Asuma at least gave flowers to Kurenai Yuhi for three years before Sarutobi Mirai, the posthumous child, was born.

The couple who sat down to eat together were more interested in chatting than eating. They hadn't seen each other for a few days and seemed to have endless things to talk about.

"Hey, Mizuki, what do you think of Karin? Is there really a chance?"

"Huh? What?" Shuimu smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I was distracted just now."

I never noticed Xiaochun was so talkative before. She was still the same outside, but she talked even more at home. She always liked to tell Shuimu about things she heard from others and asked Shuimu to give his opinion. As Shuimu was talking, he became absent-minded.

Xiaochun looked at Shuimu with dissatisfaction: "You won't just kidnap Karin and ignore her, right? A ninja with excellent qualifications is just going to be a craftsman? This is such a waste!"

"Does Lady Tsunade have any instructions?"

"Not really. Lady Tsunade's assistant, Miss Shizune, has come here twice and suggested that Karin take part in the medical class assessment. If Karin really has the talent, it might be a good result!"

"Shizune, medical squad?"

These two words really make people think of something. Could it be that Tsunade values ​​this poor relative who has nothing to do with her so much? No wonder she hesitated to accept Haruno Sakura as her apprentice. Either she didn't want to accept an apprentice, or she had already chosen someone and didn't want to cause trouble? But what does it matter if there is one more person?

I don't understand the thoughts of a native ninja like Tsunade, but Mizuki has no intention of interfering. Let everything take its course. Besides, things haven't happened yet, so Mizuki doesn't intend to speculate. Let's wait until the dust settles before making countermeasures.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Xiao Chun, who knew Shuimu very well, immediately noticed that something was wrong with Shuimu.

Mizuki shook his head and said, "It's okay. Since someone suggested it, let's give it a try. I will teach her something when I have time. It's not good to know nothing about medical ninjutsu. At least some basics are needed."

"Alright." Xiaochun agreed. "I'm not very good at this. I can still give you some guidance on sealing techniques, and I can teach you the basics of other techniques, but I'm totally out of luck with medical ninjutsu."

"That's enough. Leave the rest to me."

Although Mizuki speculated that Tsunade might have this intention, groundless speculation is not necessarily the truth. He would teach Karin some things step by step and let her decide her future path by herself.

"That's great." Xiao Chun was quite fond of this well-behaved red-haired girl. Now that she had a good place to work, she could put her mind at ease. "It's a pity that we have to hire another clerk soon. It's hard to find such a capable girl."

"Don't worry, it will be available soon!" Konoha has never lacked girls with two legs who can sell flowers.

The two finished their dinner happily and peacefully, and Mizuki rolled up his sleeves to help Xiaochun clean up the dishes.

"Xiaochun, where did you put the money in my drawer?"

"All that change? I put it all away and took it to the flower shop. It'll come in handy."

"What should I do with the money?"

"Go get it from the flower shop. It's not far away anyway!"

"Well, that's fine!" Shuimu breathed a sigh of relief. Things were not that bad, and Xiaochun did not have such a strong desire for control.

"Why are some books missing from my bookshelf?"

"Those old fashion magazines? I threw them away."

"Expired? No, it looks pretty good."

Hearing Shuimu's complaint, Xiaochun's hands froze: "Hey, Shuimu, are you dissatisfied with me? Those beautiful women are so beautiful, are you reluctant to let them go?"

"Eh?" So the trap is here. Shuimu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm tired of seeing it anyway, so I'll just throw it away."

Actually, I haven't read it many times. When I first traveled through time, I bought a lot of books to read in order to learn more about this world. Afterwards, I almost forgot everything. I didn't expect there would be such a little episode. I didn't realize that Xiaochun had this side before. I really don't know how those seniors who traveled through time were able to have so many girls and open harems. Women with holes in their brains really don't exist in the real world...
