Day off.
After a couple more bites I still don't feel anything anymore.
'Is the system wrong?'
No matter how you look at it or taste it, this is normal water.
'Maybe it's good for something else'
With a little disappointment, I keep it inside my inventory.
Then I take out of my inventory a necklace.
'This is the last curious article that has touched me so far in the chests'
'The name indicates that it is a lucky item but...'
It has a quite unique design and a material that makes it shine slightly.
In short, this looks more like the accessory a woman would wear.
"Why the hell did I have to have the design for female use, I can't use this myself"
Inside me there is something that keeps me from putting it on.
'The name may automatically tell me it's a good item but I'm still reluctant to wear this, my pride and dignity prevent me'
In my previous life I grew up in an environment where my parents saw the act of wearing earrings, walking in a feminine way, etc., as the wrong sexual orientation.
This trait stayed deep within me.
'I'll keep it and later I'll think about what to do with it'
"I won't complain too much, after all I've already gotten more than I expected"
I look up at the sky to see that it should already be 3:00 (15:00) in the afternoon.
I usually leave when it's around 6:30 to 7:00 (18:30/19:00) in the evening but today I feel tired plus it's a rare happy occasion.
"Today I will finish training early"
So I pack my things and head in the direction of the village.
...
Quickly get to my house.
I'm tired but not enough for sleep to invade me.
"What should I do today?"
After some deliberation I decide to go out to the village for a walk.
"I think I should clear my mind"
Then I quickly get out of my micas and start walking around the place.
I begin to walk slowly down the street.
As I walk slowly down the sidewalk I realize something.
Unlike a few days ago I somehow feel more comfortable and safe.
"Today's atmosphere is very good"
The sky is cloudy which makes it difficult to expose the sun.
Cave to say that days like these are my favorites.
Since I was little I have always liked these climates where the sky is always sunny.
So much so that I even think it would be perfect for me to live in the rain village, although now that I think about it that would be stressful thanks to the existence of a certain entity.
But ignoring everything else, I would like to someday visit the village of the rain or maybe the hidden village of the fog.
Although the latter would be dangerous to go especially if I am a foreign ninja.
*sigh*
"It's a shame"
"What's a pity?"
I am surprised when I hear someone speak so close to me.
'When? - wait for that you...'
Then I turn my head to see the speaker's voice and realize that she is someone familiar.
With a characteristic blonde hair I recognize that she is Ino.
"Hi Ino, could you please not give me those scares another time?"
"I was going to greet you but I saw you so thoughtful that I didn't want to interrupt you"
If you are right, sometimes I get so thoughtful that even now someone has approached me without me noticing, I think I should improve this aspect of myself or it could cause me very serious problems specifically if the one approaching me this time is an enemy.
"I see that lately you are very thoughtful, what happened? Do you have problems with love again?"
"It's nothing like that, I just took the day off and went for a walk, without realizing it I was thinking about some things while I was walking"
"What a coincidence, I also decided to take the day off, it seems that today we think of the same thing"
"You're right"
"Well, while we're at it, how about you come with me?"
Listening to the question, I can't find any reason why I should refuse.
"It's okay"
Then I simply accept, decision which I would be regretting later.
"Great, then let's go that way"
She says it herself with a bright smile.
Somehow seeing how he smiles I feel a bad premonition.
But still I start walking.
...
As we were walking while talking about some unimportant things she suddenly tells me something that she hadn't expected.
"...by the way, you look more attractive than in the morning"
Hearing those words makes my mind stop a bit.
The reason, because I think it is the first time that someone says something like that to me, besides that it is an attractive woman (girl) who says it.
"Why do you say that"
I say it in a nervous tone but still keeping my smile.
"Hmm, I think it's your skin, it looks like brighter or a little paler"
"My skin?"
Ah, she had forgotten, a while ago I just took a pill that has expelled the impurities from my body.
I almost forgot the detail that by doing this my skin became clearer and brighter.
"About that, I think it's because I was training and accidentally lost blood that's why my skin is paler"
An excuse so pitiful that no one would believe it but unlike her expectations she stopped walking and replied:
"Is that true? You should be more careful next time"
She responded with concern.
"You're right, I will be next time"
'She bought it!'
"...where is the wound"
She approaches me.
"Don't worry, it's cured"
"...I think we should go to a hospital..."
The concern on her face deepens a little and she moves closer to me.
"I tell you not to worry, I'm already getting better"
Then I start to see things start to get a little out of control.
"I think we shouldn't talk about this anymore"
"But what if you pass out?"
"Don't worry, besides, look at the people, they're not looking"
Hearing my words, she realizes that people's eyes are turning towards us.
She then quickly returns to her original position.
So we quickly leave the scene.
After we leave there she apologizes with a smile.
"Sorry about that, I suddenly got out of control"
'A bit?'
I think it's the first time I've seen her act like this.

The scene in the last part was a bit clichéd and incoherent but if you have any insight you'll know why, and sorry if some parts I misspoke.
