Chapter 45 Flower Shop Girl



Summer noons are always unbearable, and the hot feeling after lunch is particularly unpleasant.

"Xiaochun, you should quickly learn how to use ice escape. You can make some ice cubes and feel cooler."

The technology tree of this world is really too crooked. The power system is still at the level of steam boilers, but there are already many movies and the application of electricity is quite popular. There are even some small computers with simple functions, although the performance may not be comparable to the big vacuum tube computers in the previous life. However, various supporting monitoring, medical and other applications are not too shocking. But even with such a level of technology, even civilian air conditioners have not been popularized. It is really incredible.

"It's too difficult to learn ice escape without bloodline limit." Xiaochun said to Mizuki who was in a hurry.

Ice escape is the product of the change of the nature of water escape and wind escape in principle, but in reality it is incredibly difficult. Mizuki doesn't remember anyone who has ever succeeded in learning ice escape using conventional methods. It is extremely difficult in itself. If the body does not have the chakra of water and wind attributes, the possibility of learning ice escape is not necessarily greater than Mizuki's successor as the fifth Hokage. And Xiaochun's chakra attribute is much stronger than Mizuki's ordinary fire. The three attributes of wind, water, and lightning, if it weren't for his fiancée, Mizuki would be jealous and crazy.

"Water attribute is fine, but what about wind and lightning attributes? I don't think Tsubaki has a violent attribute."

Without mentioning Shuimu's worries about his fiancée's possible evil transformation, Xiaochun used a folding fan to fan herself and cool Shuimu down.

If you must ask why unmarried couples don't lean against each other to fan themselves, we can only say that Shuimu, who had the aura of being single in his previous life, took it for granted.

"There's no air conditioning, and we're sitting close together, it's so hot!"

"The flower shop hasn't been open for two or three days. I'm free today, so let's go check it out together this afternoon."

"Eh? It's so hot, there shouldn't be many people going there." Shuimu didn't want to go, "It's no use for you to watch me, I want to stay at home to escape the heat."

"If I don't go now, the flowers will wilt. I want to go."

"Okay, okay, let's go and take a look." Looking at Xiaochun's watery eyes staring at him, Shuimu finally gave in.

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but since returning from Wave Country after being injured, Tsubaki has become even stricter with himself."

Shuimu was lamenting that his fiancée was not as obedient as before, when he heard Xiaochun say, "If you are free in the next few days, don't hire a clerk. The two of us can take care of it."

After hearing this, Shuimu knew that he would go further and further on the path of becoming a flower shop owner. However, Shuimu suddenly had an idea.

"Xiaochun, we can find a temporary worker who doesn't want any salary."

"It's a waste to use free manpower." Shuimu couldn't help but feel proud of his own cleverness.

In the afternoon, although many villagers were reluctant to go out at this time, the number of pedestrians on the road did not decrease. During the Chunin Exams, the number of outsiders increased. After the news that the third Chunin Exam would be held in a month, people interested in it continued to flock to Konoha, making the streets of Konoha more prosperous, but it was a hard time for the ninjas on duty and patrol.

"Being among a bunch of flowers doesn't seem so hot."

To Shuimu's surprise, the business seemed to be particularly good. Seeing Xiaochun busying around, Shuimu would go over to help out from time to time. Looking at the busy Xiaochun, wiping the sweat from time to time, with a smile on his face.

"Is this the life Xiaochun wants? Plain and simple, an ordinary flower shop, a happy family, and working hard to make a living."

This is a world deeply scarred by frequent wars and turbulent social order. Even in the relatively peaceful Konoha Village, most people are full of yearning for peace. It is easy to imagine why so many hurt people are tirelessly seeking ways to achieve peace, even if it is a false peace like a dream.

To be honest, since crossing over, in addition to the physical disharmony, the most unbearable thing is a sense of alienation. Suddenly coming to an unfamiliar environment, and having to make up for the mistakes made by the previous life, the dissatisfaction in the heart is always difficult to eliminate, but when everything calms down, Shuimu has the mind to carefully look at everything around him. As the one who has been with him the longest and has always taken care of him, Xiaochun is like a spiritual bond that connects him to this world, pulling him back to reality from the state of mind of playing with the human world.

"And Xiaochun is not as weak as she appears to be. She is also a strong and smart woman. Maybe she has discovered the problem with her mentality and is trying to help herself in different ways."

Just like before, every time I do the same thing with Xiaochun, my heart becomes particularly peaceful. Only at this time can I put aside all my worries and quietly enjoy the time without worries.

Sometimes Mizuki wondered how those guys with the ability to predict the future could spend each day peacefully. If Mizuki himself didn't know the information about the future, he could just be content with the status quo. Although his strength was not outstanding, he had achieved some success. It would be enough for him to live his life as an ordinary ninja peacefully.

"Sometimes troubles come from knowing too much"

Until the evening, Shuimu returned home after a busy day. No one came to ask him about what happened in the morning. In this case, Shuimu didn't take it to heart and could deal with his own affairs with peace of mind.

The next morning, Shuimu was awakened by a knock on the door. Shuimu, who was in a bad mood, had to open the door.

"Didn't I tell Xiaochun not to come too early?" Shuimu grumbled in dissatisfaction. When he opened the door, he saw Hatake Kakashi leading Haruno Sakura standing outside the door.

"Hey, good morning." Kakashi greeted, and Sakura beside him also bowed politely to apologize.

"Why are you here today?" Shuimu yawned and said, "I thought I would have two more days to rest. Come in."

"No need, I'll just take the person here and leave, I still have things to deal with." Kakashi looked like he was about to leave, then took out a scroll and handed it to Mizuki, "This is what you want, after you read it, just ask Sakura to bring it to me."

"So straightforward? Thank you very much." Shuimu accepted it without hesitation.

"Then Sakura will be left to you." After saying that, he used a teleportation technique and left.

"So urgent?" Mizuki looked at the things in his hand and said to Sakura, "Then you come in first. You can have breakfast only after Tsubaki comes."

"You're welcome, Mizuki-sensei," Sakura said, "I also brought some cakes as a gift, please have them if you don't mind."

"Put it on the table. Find a place to sit first. I'll be there soon."
