In the evening, when Kei Uchiha got off work from the Department of Security, he slowly walked to the Hyuga Clan.
He didn't see Aya Hyuga for the whole day. He was puzzled. Didn't this woman take the initiative to ask him out tonight?
However, after thinking about it, Kei Uchiha seemed to understand something.
Although this woman took the initiative to invite him, as a man, shouldn't he take the initiative too?
Thinking of this, Kei Uchiha could only leave the Department of Security and walk to the Hyuga Clan.
When he arrived at the Hyuga Clan, he felt a little emotional.
He hadn't been to the Hyuga Clan's territory for a long time. He felt a little emotional when he arrived.
Shaking his head, Kei Uchiha walked straight in.
The Hyuga member who was in charge of guarding the door was surprised when he saw Kei Uchiha. Then, he immediately followed and led Kei Uchiha to the place he wanted to go.
Although the Hyuga Clan still maintains the pride of this clan, but their pride has long been restrained.
Especially now that they were almost all members of the branch families and were the leaders of the entire clan, they had no resistance against Kei Uchiha.
Of course, in fact, all the clans in the Wood Leaf Clan were similar now. They had restrained the pride in their hearts.
This was because everyone was the same in terms of rank, rights, and obligations.
Unless one could really become the top of the entire village, there was nothing to be proud of.
"Master Qi, you're here for Master Ling, right?" The Hyuga member who was guarding the door asked with a smile, "Lady Ling has moved. Let me bring you there."
"Alright, thank you." Kei Uchiha nodded. "I really didn't know when Lady Ling moved."
"It was after that day." The member of the Hyuga Clan said with a smile, "After all, some people have died. Lady Ling has made such a great contribution, so she should be given a relative position."
"Probably, in fact, I think that Rin is more concerned about her family, right?" Uchiha Keiji shook his head and didn't continue to talk about this topic.
He knew Aya Hyuga very well. After spending so many years together, he naturally knew how low this woman's requirements for material goods were.
In fact, Kuroto and Aya are similar in many ways, and it is precisely because of this that they have so much tacit understanding and get along so well.
They were truly together. They didn't need to wear any masks to be able to get along very well.
Under the guidance of this Hyuga member, they walked all the way to Aya Hyuga's residence.
Along the way, many other Hyuga members noticed Kei Uchiha, and their faces immediately revealed various interesting expressions.
However, they clearly knew that this minister probably only had one purpose for coming here, right?
As for the Hyuga members who belonged to the Department of Security, they smiled even more.
Other than being happy that their number one officer had come to their family, they were also happy for Aya Hyuga.
Aya Hyuga's mother wasn't the only one who was anxious about their long-distance running.
"We're here, Lord Kai." When the two of them walked to the front of a big house, the member of the Hyuga Clan stopped. "I'll stop here. I'll leave the rest to Lord Kai."
"Okay, thank you." Kei Uchiha smiled. "Then, I'll go in first."
"Lord Kai, you can do it!" Just as Kei Uchiha turned around, the member of the Hyuga suddenly clenched his fist and made a cheering gesture for Kei Uchiha.
Seeing this, Kei Uchiha could only nod helplessly.
The matter between me and Aya Hyuga is really dragging on. So much so that I can attract so much attention when I come to the Hyuga Clan?
Of course, apart from my relationship with Aya Hyuga, I'm afraid that I'll also attract a lot of attention here, right?
Thinking of this, Kei Uchiha couldn't help but smile. Then, he walked up the stairs and was about to enter. Suddenly, the door of Aya Hyuga's house opened.
A girl walked out slowly from the house. She looked a little tired, and it was obvious that she was in a bad mood.
However, her face was exquisite, and she seemed to have dressed up a little. However, her clothes were very ordinary, no different from what she usually wore.
It was still the same white kimono that had been modified. It was suitable for battle but not for daily life.
Kei Uchiha looked at her with amusement. He really didn't expect this woman to do such a thing.
"You were forced by your mother to change clothes for a day?" Needless to say, Kei Uchiha really understood Aya Hyuga. Looking at her, he could roughly guess what happened.
"Something like that. It's really a hopeless experience." Aya Hyuga sighed faintly. "But in the end, I still convinced her because she seems to have difficulty choosing. She's not satisfied with choosing too many things. I told her that you actually don't like to make things so troublesome, so …"
"So that's why you're dressed like this." Uchiha Kei looked at Kuroto from top to bottom and finally nodded with a smile, "That's better, to be honest, I like it even more. Although you look different in a formal kimono, it seems a bit awkward for us."
"I'm not trying to cater to your preferences." Aya Hyuga glanced at Kei Uchiha, then sighed helplessly. "Let's go. I asked you out tonight. Let's go to a pub and relax."
Pub?
When Kei Uchiha heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Going to a pub? This isn't good news. It seems that tonight isn't some 'battle appointment', but 'intelligence interrogation'.
He secretly lowered his head to look at his left hand. At that moment, he was wearing a black glove.
In addition, he was wearing long sleeves, so naturally, he didn't need to worry about being seen. However, he felt that he might be exposed.
"I say, is it cold today?" At that moment, Aya Hyuga suddenly asked curiously, "It's only autumn now. Why are you wearing long sleeves?"
"It's a personal habit. It's not strange for me to wear long sleeves, right?" Kei Uchiha said calmly, "Look at that fellow Kakashi. He's like that all year round."
"It's nothing. Actually, I can't be bothered to ask. It's just that …" Aya Hyuga raised her head slightly, her white eyes staring at him. "I felt a very strange power, so I sized you up. Also, I remember that you were wearing short sleeves yesterday. "
"Is that so?" Kei Uchiha's heart skipped a beat. However, he remained calm. "When I woke up this morning, these clothes were placed beside my bed. Liangzi and the others probably helped me change into them?"
When Aya Hyuga heard this, she couldn't help but look at him in disdain.
She also knew that Kei Uchiha's daily clothes were taken care of by either his mother or Iori.
After all, she had been to this fellow's house so many times. It wasn't as if she hadn't seen Iori or his mother wash clothes. She had even helped them before.
Moreover, this fellow had always been casual about his clothes.
Perhaps it was because he was handsome, so he didn't care about what he wore.
Or perhaps it was because he was indifferent and never cared about these things.
"What a slob," Aya Hyuga thought about this and couldn't help but complain. "In the future, whoever you marry will …"
Halfway through her words, Aya Hyuga suddenly found that she couldn't continue. Especially when she noticed that bastard Kei Uchiha was looking at her. This made her even more depressed.
Most likely, he was facing someone she knew, especially someone who didn't need to wear a mask. Thus, Aya Hyuga's expression was somewhat relaxed.
The result was that she didn't seem to think about the consequences when she spoke. Then, she inexplicably said something like this.
"I think the unlucky one will be you." Kei Uchiha held back his laughter as he spoke softly.
"You make it sound like I promised you, just like in Sequoia Country." Aya Hyuga's expression was still as cold as ever. "You said you want me to be your family, but I haven't agreed yet."
"Is that so?" Kei Uchiha asked softly. At the same time, he reached out to hold Aya Hyuga's hand. "That's right, although you haven't completely agreed, but …"
"As a man, I will think of a way. I'm thinking, should I bypass you and meet your mother directly? Maybe there will be a better result? "
…
The moonlight gradually covered the land. In the tavern, Kei Uchiha and Aya Hyuga sat facing each other.
There were already countless bottles of wine on their table.
At first, Kei Uchiha thought that Aya Hyuga was joking. After all, drinking alcohol wouldn't have any effect on them.
Both of their bodies had evolved and were advancing towards the direction of Otsutsuki.
Alcohol was basically useless to them … right?
In fact, Kei Uchiha wasn't wrong.
Alcohol didn't have much effect on them, but it wasn't completely useless.
Aya Hyuga wasn't stupid. Of course, she knew this, so she wisely told Kei Uchiha in advance.
That was, she was not allowed to use Chakra or Yin Yang Escape to dispel the effects of alcohol.
Therefore, when they drank too much, they would actually feel some effects, some unique feeling of being drunk.
"So, this is what it feels like to drink too much." Aya Hyuga's cold face was slightly flushed. Obviously, she drank a lot.
"Yes, to be honest, I don't understand why some people like to drink until they get drunk." Kei Uchiha's face was also slightly flushed. "I heard people say that it's best to drink until you're tipsy, but in fact, it doesn't feel like much. Some people say that drinking too much is to forget the pain and despair. But in fact, when you sober up, I'm afraid you'll feel even worse. "
Kei Uchiha knew how to drink, at least in his previous life, he often drank with beer.
But after coming to this world, he didn't really touch it.
It was probably because he didn't want to drink too much and cause his mind to be muddled and accidentally lose his life. It was probably because he knew that no matter how desperate he was, it couldn't be solved with alcohol.
Kei Uchiha remembered a line from a poem that was very clear. He had even heard it in the lyrics.
"That's why, cut the water with a knife, the water will flow even more, drink to drown your sorrows even more." Kei Uchiha thought for a while, then sighed. "If there's nothing else, you should drink less."
"Is this what you mean by 'art'?" Aya Hyuga was taken aback, then said with an amused tone, "This time, you didn't make a trial and error. But, you can still cut the water with a knife. Because you will turn that place into a waterfall, right? "
"Chatting like this will kill you." Uchiha Kei shrugged his shoulders in a non-committal manner.
Indeed, if he really cut the water now, the final result would be that he could really cut it!
But at this point, it would be difficult to continue the conversation. Keiko Uchiha didn't want to discuss this matter.
He poured a glass of sake for himself and Aya Hyuga, then drank it in one gulp.
He was curious about what Aya Hyuga wanted to talk to him about today.
At least, he hadn't figured out the main topic yet.
"You just said you wanted to drink less, but you're the one who drinks the most." Aya Hyuga also drank the sake in one gulp, then sighed faintly. "Kei, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."
"Say it, I knew it wasn't simple." Kei Uchiha put down the glass in his hand, then shook his head.
"Of course, it's not a big deal." Aya Hyuga raised her head, her eyes seemed a little tipsy. "Ever since you fought with that Otsutsuki, I noticed that there's a very obscure power in your body. This power wasn't active before, even yesterday it was fine. But today … "
At this point, Hyuuga Rin paused.
Today, especially when Kei Uchiha went to the Hyuga Clan to pick her up, she felt that the power seemed to be a little active.
And today, Kei Uchiha's clothes were very strange. Even if the clothes were prepared by his family, Kei Uchiha could get his own clothes.
Just now, Aya Hyuga didn't expose him because she knew that if Kei Uchiha didn't say anything, she wouldn't have any chance to ask.
But now it was different, she felt that she could ask.
"But today, the obscure power in your body behaved very differently. From the time you came back until yesterday, the power could only be felt through the door, but today, the door seems to have been opened. "
Her voice was soft and gentle. Although her eyes were slightly drunk, there was a deep sense of concern in them. "Also, your behavior today is really strange. Your clothes, the gloves on your hands, I can't believe you're behaving so strangely today. All of this means that things may not be so simple. "
"I …" Kei Uchiha felt the gaze and finally sighed. "I'm fine, don't worry, I'm really fine."
"Kei, if it was someone else, do you think I would care about his life?" Aya Hyuga moved her face closer. "The answer is absolutely no, but you are different. If there's any trouble or something important, I hope you can tell me, and we'll deal with it together … "
"Just like in the past!"
