"The pink cherry-colored one is for real black, and the other light blue one is for me——"
Yu explained to Sakumo who was squatting in front of the bag and sorting them out.
——"The other ones are for Uncle Sakumo and Kakashi! I don't know if you like this color."
She held up a blue-gray bowl and looked at Sakumo.
"Thank you, I like it very much."
Sakumo ruffled his hair lovingly again, took out a pink bowl and put it aside.
——"Is there anything you want to eat for lunch? Does your brother have any food he likes?"
Little by little, Sakumo carried the other tableware onto the cabinet table, which Yuu would normally be unable to reach.
"I don't have anything in particular that I want to eat. Everything is fine. My brother probably won't be able to choose either."
Yuu dropped his hands on the ground like a little monkey, squatting and watching Sakumo pack his things.
The fresh food had been put away before, and as for those biscuits... Sakumo put those in the living room.
The cutting board and other things were also placed on top.
"You go back to the living room and talk to your brother for a while. I'll be there right away."
Then Sakumo picked up the pink bowl and put it in the sink, turned on the faucet, and while washing the dishes in a low place in the sink, he turned to smile at Yu.
As long as you hold it low enough, even if you drop it, it won't break.
"Um."
Yu saw that Sakumo didn't seem to want to wash the dishes, nor did he intend to help in the kitchen, so he trotted from the kitchen to the living room.
-
"Um..." Hinoki sat uneasily on the cushion in front of the low table and hesitantly reached out and tugged at Yu's clothes.
"What?" Yu tilted his head at him while moving Makiro.
[It's a bit interesting.]
The positions of both parties seem to be reversed. He is an uneasy child, and he is a calm adult...
"...It's nothing." Hui opened his mouth for a while, and finally closed his mouth silently and said nothing more.
Yu was still there, and Hinoki was looking at Yu and Shinoku with complicated emotions.
A few minutes later, Sakumo came out carrying something that looked like a tray.
"I kept you waiting." Sakumo placed the three cups of warm water poured on the tray in front of himself, Yu and Hinoki one by one. At the same time, he also placed the pink porcelain bowl with some cold boiled water on the ground in front of Mahenoku.
.
Zhen Hei got up and narrowed his eyes at Sakumo in a friendly manner, lowered his head and started licking the water to drink.
"Thank you..." Hinoki took the ceramic water cup, which was slightly warm even the body of the cup, with both hands, held it over and took a sip.
"It should be." Sakumo smiled, "Don't be nervous, just think of me as an ordinary uncle from your neighbor's house."
If Hinoki hadn't guessed from Yu's words that this was his classmate's father, if Hinoki had met Sakumo somewhere on the road, he would have probably regarded this man as a middle-aged and elderly man and called him... uncle... or something like that.
.
The hair looks very much like that of someone who is no longer young, and the face is also... very similar.
"Ah, yes," Hui nodded anxiously.
"...Relax a bit." Sakumo's smile became helpless, "Although I am a little curious, I still won't ask about your affairs. My son and Yu are about the same age... It would be great if we could become good friends.
.”
What he said in the second half of the sentence had no confidence.
Because Sakumo doesn't know Kakashi's thoughts, and he doesn't know Yu's. From the surface, it doesn't look like... they can become good friends.
Although I don't know why I feel that way.
...A strong rival? No, it’s different from the children in Mr. Dai’s family.
Sakumo felt that the two of them might one day beat each other to death due to a quarrel.
Although I don't know why I feel this way.
...This child, although I haven't seen it much here, seems to be quite capable of ridiculing people in nature.
"...Well, how old are Mr. Sakumo's children this year? Yu..." Hinoki looked at Yu who was moving the leopard aside.
He suddenly felt as if he had forgotten Yu's age.
He also felt that Yu had never mentioned his age to him.
"I celebrated my fifth birthday last month, but I can't remember the exact day, and I only recently reunited with Brother Hui..." Yu held up the cup and took a sip of water, showing his innocence. Smile, "It doesn't matter what day it is, just treat it as my birthday when you are free and free in November next year."
"Well..." Sakumo coughed lightly, then picked up the cup and took a sip of water, "My Kakashi just celebrated his third birthday in September this year. In fact, he was clamoring to go to school at the beginning of the year. ,So...but I really didn’t see it, I thought Yu would be younger than Kakashi."
"Yeah, I'm too skinny, so after I reunited with my eldest brother, I wanted to come here and work hard to become a ninja. The food my eldest brother cooked was also delicious, which made me fall in love with eating. Eating more will make you stronger, right? I also want to be strong and strong - the food cooked by Uncle Sakumo is also very delicious, I like it very much, so... well, I will often come to help in the future. Yes, I hope Uncle Sakumo won’t find me annoying.”
After Yu put down the water glass, he threw himself on the real black body next to him, hugged the big cat's neck and looked at Sakumo with a few silly smiles.
"Thank you." Sakumo leaned forward and stretched out his arms to rub Yu's hair, then turned around and turned his gaze to Hinoki, "In this way, Kakashi will be home from school in a while, and I'm going to prepare for today's event. Can you come and help me with lunch? He said that you are also very good at cooking. If you were in the kitchen, you would not be so nervous. We can also chat about home affairs casually, although I dare not say that it is very I'm good at it, but if you have any questions about childcare at home, feel free to ask me."
He stood up and stretched, picked up the water glass and invited Hinoki to go to the kitchen with him.
Yu followed him, but Sakumo kicked him out of the kitchen with the excuse that "someone is here to help, so the kids should go out and play."
"Are we going to play outside?" Yu used Zhenhei as a sofa and leaned against her.
"I... don't really want to go out. The smell of dogs outside is too strong." Zhen Hei raised his paw and scratched the tip of his nose. "It's okay here. Although there is some, it's not that strong."
She whispered into Yu's ear.
"Then you watch me from the window, I'll go out and jog a few laps!" Yu gestured to her like a strongman, but he had so little muscle that he almost cramped.
Zhen Hei closed his mouth and stopped talking, just nodded in response.
Yu stretched his arms, changed his shoes, walked to the yard and started running slowly.
It's said to be running, but in fact it's just a brisk walk.
Because Zhenhei said the dog smell was very strong in the yard.
That said, those dogs often solve things in the yard.
——She doesn’t want to run away and lie down here.
-
Yu didn't know what Sakumo and Hino were talking about in the kitchen, and he didn't care much because it had nothing to do with her.
Even if you are involved in the chat, strictly speaking, it doesn't matter.
The building of Hatake's house is not very big, and the circle here is equivalent to one-third of the size of Yukina's house.
She walked dozens of times without feeling tired, but the energy from yesterday made her walk slower and slower.
-
She didn't know how long she had been walking, or what time it was now. She only remembered that the pace had become like an elderly person's walk at least twenty minutes ago.
Yuu cheered up by thinking about his favorite food, and while walking, he carefully observed the ground in front of him to avoid falling.
-
——"Hey, who are you! Why are you walking around in front of my house!"
Just as she was recalling the seventeenth way to cook potatoes, she heard Kakashi's voice.
"I am——...guess."
Yu calmly stopped with his back turned, but did not turn around.
The neighbors heard Kakashi's shouting without controlling the volume, and curiously moved their attention here as if nothing had happened.
-
[I almost said what I was suppressing again...]
Yu slapped his leg hard.
[I was almost careless, it was really dangerous... If I had said that, I would probably be beaten to death now.] This chapter has been completed!
