Early next morning.

Senju Tobirama unexpectedly discovered that - well, he had overslept again.

Actually it’s normal…

He had discovered before that that her breath would make him feel stable, as if... returning to his hometown, returning to his big brother.

The Senju Station actually didn't make him miss it that much.

but……

Big brother, he misses me day and night.

He sat up holding his forehead and found that it was already five o'clock in the morning... Very good, it seems that today is also a day that he is destined to arrive at the office late. However, his energy is very good now, and he hardly did any of the messy things last night

dream.

I don’t know either…

Is the little girl awake?

Senju Tobirama subconsciously looked at the paper partition door that separated the two rooms.

Of course, he had no intention of going over to check. Since he had promised, he would do it.

So, he just stood up and went to wash himself.

Then, he appeared on the corridor outside his house and asked as if asking the air: "Are the fireflies up?"

A voice came from the corner of the courtyard——

"At least I didn't go out."

Qianju Tobijian nodded, and then, he walked to the door of the next room, raised his hand and knocked: "Fireflation." Then, he knocked again, "Firefly, are you up?" And then, continue.

Knocking on the door, "Yingying, why don't you say anything?"

After waiting patiently at the door for another ten seconds, he said with some worry: "Firefly, are you awake? If you don't answer, I will open the door and go in." Then he heard a vague sound coming from inside the house.

Muzzy sound——

"Get up, get up...wait, wait for me..."

Qianju Tojian suddenly realized: Okay, she just woke up.

However, this is not something difficult to understand. After all, according to her extremely serious personality at work, she will not get off work and wash up before twelve o'clock. In other words, she has only slept for more than four hours so far.

It is natural that it will be difficult to wake up after less than five hours.

…You won’t feel sleepy during the day today, right?

Then we have to find a chance to let her have a good rest.

With such thoughts in mind, he turned around and returned to his room. After walking around in a daze for a while, he took down a book from the bookshelf again and read it carefully by the early morning light until...

A little girl ran to his door with a somewhat hurried pace, and said apologetically: "Yes, I'm sorry, Tobirama-sama, did I get up late?"

"What time do you usually get up?" Qianju Tojian asked curiously.

"...That's it." Uchiha replied with a little guilt, but in fact, if Lord Tobirama hadn't shouted, she wasn't sure...after all...well, she had been holding it for seven or eight hours before.

sleep comes.

"Then you didn't get up late." Qian Shu held the book in his hands and stood up, "Let's go for morning exercise." When passing by the bookshelf, he stuffed the book with the bookmark in it.

"Oh...hey?"

"how?"

"No... Tobirama-sama, you used to go to the office early on weekdays, right? Now you go late two days in a row... Is it really okay?"

"What's the problem?" Qianju Tojian asked, "Can anyone else blame me for this?" If there is, then he wants to see who has such courage. Well, maybe he

You won't be angry, but you will appreciate it.

"No..." Uchiha waved his hand, "I'm worried that Tobirama-sama you are not used to it, or... well, you won't be able to finish your work."

Qianju Tobirama thought for a while and replied: "I went early, not because anyone forced me, but because I was willing. As for the work... it will never be finished, so as long as the most important thing is given

As long as you do it, it doesn’t matter if you put the rest on hold for a while.” Rather, some people might feel more relaxed.

"Then..." Uchiha tilted his head, "Master Tobirama, don't you want to go early now?"

"...So be it." Qianju Tobijian didn't want to explain too much. He just raised his hand and put his arm around the girl's shoulders naturally, leading her outside. "Or maybe it can be said that if you find it, it's better to go there early.

Something more meaningful?"

When it was necessary to relieve sorrow and longing by continuous work, he certainly did so;

But now, compared to these, he has regained some vitality and wants to work hard to embrace the life that he doesn't know how long he has left, so why not do this?

Anyway, it won't delay anything, so it doesn't count as "abolishing public service for personal reasons", right?

The Uchiha who was being taken outside nodded in understanding, then looked back and said, "Sir Tobirama, your bedding has not been confiscated, do you need my help?"

"I deliberately waited until the heat dissipated before closing it. Otherwise, I would be trapped in it and it would be uncomfortable to sleep at night."

"...Are you the Princess and the Pea?" She couldn't help but said.

"Huh? What is this?" Is he doing "Ji" again? Well, in her eyes, is he so suitable?

"Um...the same as last night's story, a new story that suddenly popped up in your mind?"

"Did you tell me in the mirror?"

"No, because I just remembered it, so..."

"Then, tell me."

"...Oh. But, unlike last night's story, this is a slightly boring story."

"No matter what the story is, I will listen patiently to what you have to say. Well, do you need me to swear or make a promise?"

"Ah? Ah, there's no need for this!"

The two of them walked away while saying this.

Senior ANBUs hiding in the dark: "..." Hey, that's great...

Most of them have been with Senju Tobirama for more than a day, two days, a year or two, so it can be said that they are clearly aware of the changes in the second-generation master's life pattern.

When the Shodaime was still around...

After the first generation passed away...

as well as,

recently……

For them, although the current second generation occasionally issues some orders that make them want to complain and does some things that make them speechless, overall... well, this is undoubtedly a very good change.

In fact, it’s not just for them...

For the rest of the Senju family...

Same thing.

For example——

"In other words, uncle, you will always have breakfast with us from now on?" Senju Shige asked with a surprised and subtle expression.

"...Hmm." Qianju Tobirama thought for a while and nodded slowly, "If there is no emergency." After a pause, he added, "Dinner is still not available, at least on weekdays, and not in the evening. I'll come back early. You can use it at home after get off work and don't worry about me."

He carefully studied his "new daily planner" and felt that he had decided to do morning exercises with the little girl anyway. So instead of having the trouble of running between the office and home, it would be better to just do this. Moreover, the family should

You will also be happy, right?

Senju Shige thought: Even so, the "progress" has been huge... But, second uncle, are you doing it for us or for... well, it doesn't matter, as long as the result is good, everything else doesn't matter.

~It just seems that I need to find an opportunity to have a good chat with my mother, sister and brother-in-law. Don’t accidentally put obstacles in the way of my second uncle. That is not what a qualified family member should do. Moreover, even if you put aside everything else,

Mention... For the second uncle, this is also a precious encounter, right? Therefore, they must help and cherish it together.

The little Shiba Inu made the decision happily~

"This is really a good thing." Senju Sachiko said with a smile, "Isn't it, Wanli?"

Wanli Beihara also smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is definitely a good thing for the family to get together more."

"Xiao Tsuna." Senju Shige asked with a smile, "Why don't you say anything? You are so happy that you don't know what to say?"

Little Tsunade curled her lips, looked at the face of her second grandfather who seemed to be in a good mood, and then looked at a girl who was arranged to sit next to him by his second grandfather. How should I put it... her mood was a little complicated——

Of course she was happy to be able to have breakfast with her second grandfather every day in the future.

at the same time,

She was also keenly aware that her second grandfather's attention and care seemed to be slightly taken away by others...

This realization made her a little unhappy.

I can't say it's jealousy, it's just...well, uncomfortable.

However, how could this little thing go beyond Qianju Tojian's expectations?
To be continued...
