Ch 164 : The mixer

[ DING!!! A new mission has been issued.]

[ Uncover Sakura's worries and her reason to join the mixer!]

[ Reward: 5x Gacha tickets.]

" ..... "

Hearing this new mission, Sanada was really speechless. His system was the teacher system, so where in the hell would this be related to teaching or a teacher...

[ DING!!! You are certainly wrong, host. As a good teacher, you not only need to guide your student in the ninja way. You also need to be able to solve their worries, especially when it is a female disciple. Remember, you don't want them to get the wrong man in their life, right?]

" ..... "

*Sigh* In the end, Sanada really couldn't say no to his system. Either way, he would just treat this as doing some favor to Sakura.

Soon, the mixer began.

As the people over there had already known each other, they chose to skip some formalities, and after Sanada introduced himself as Giyu, a traveling merchant, the real event started.

Just like the usual mixer, everyone was set in pairs.

Everything went smoothly at first. They chatted, joked, and even flirted sometimes. But as always, things began to get out of hand when Alcohol was included in it.

If Sanada gonna blame someone, then it gonna be Ino.

This little witch, it was all her idea to drink some alcohol, and now Sanada was the one that needed to receive the consequences.

Sitting on the table, Sakura was currently leaning toward Sanada.

If it was the same previous Sakura, then Sanada wouldn't have any problem. But one thing to take note, the current Sakura had grown tremendously and had transformed into a charming woman.

Even Sanada, if he didn't keep chanting the sutra in his heart, he wouldn't know whether he could keep his mind straight.

" Hey.. Giyu, why are you always avoiding my gaze?" The drunk Sakura said as she put her face very close to Sanada.

Under the effect of Alcohol, Sakura had thrown away all her conservativeness, and the red on her face made her even more charming. If there was any bad thing about her right now, it would be the bad smell of Alcohol on her breath.

" What are you saying, Sakura-"

But before Sanada could finish his words, he felt a hand was holding her face. It was Sakura. She placed her two hands on Sanada's cheek, preventing him from looking away from her.

" See, you always avoid my eyes."

*Gulp*

The closeness of their face had made Sanada drunk, especially when he saw Sakura's eyes were looking at him with that strange light.

" You know, it's not just you who never look at me. That man too... am I just not charming enough?"

" That man?"

" Yeah... Well, I'm not your cheap everyday woman, okay? I'm not like this toward everyone else. It's just... you give me different vibes. Just like him. But for some reason, he never looked at me."

All of a sudden, the mood turned very low as Sakura seemed to be wanting to cry. Sanada tried to look for help, but they seemed to be already too drunk when he looked in the other direction, and he was left alone to deal with this matter.

' Pst.. system, any advice?'

[ DING!!! Host, please solve this matter on your own. After all, you are the source of this trouble.]

" .... "

Even the system bailed on him?

Right now, Sanada just didn't know what to do. He was her teacher, but he couldn't say that he was very experienced in something like this.

He indeed had some experience with Temari, but most of them were just a vanilla love, with not a lots of twists and problems inside.

Still, it was not Sanada if he just left his problemed disciple alone.

However, this was a bit tricky. Therefore, Sanada couldn't just go on full advice mode. He needed to dig deeper first.

He saw that Sakura was leaning on him, and while utilizing the fact that Sakura was still a bit drunk, Sanada began to interrogate her.

" So, can you tell me more about this him? And why do you like him?"

" Hmm.. why so sudden?"

" Just answer me.."

In the beginning, Sakura seemed a bit reluctant to answer. But maybe because the Alcohol soon kicked in and also because of Sanada's insistence, she started telling about the beginning of her love life.

" I was still a little kid at that time.."

" A little kid whose good point was only her not bad academics skill. But even then, it was not really something that could be bragged about in this world. My strength was not all that good, and in a real battle, I could only be a burden."

" I liked a guy, but it was one-sided. I fight my best friend because of a guy... *Sigh* I felt like I am pretty much useless at that time."

" Then, he came into my life. In the beginning, it was only a feeling of admiration. It was like the feeling of a kid admiring a dependable adult. But as time passed, I slowly wanted him to look more and more at myself, to the point that it slowly became an obsession."

" To be honest, I myself don't know what is this feeling. It feels weird, but at the same time I also don't feel uncomfortable."
