Chapter 39

At noon

When Hayama arrived at the Uchiha compound as scheduled, the elder had been waiting for a long time in front of the gate of the clan estate.

"Hayama…you are finally here…"

Seeing Hayama appear, the Great Elder immediately greeted him.

"Elder, I'm sorry for letting you wait a long time." Hayama also responded with a smile quickly.

"It's fine… I haven't waited long…"

The Grand Elder was polite, and then eagerly took Hayama into the Uchiha clan.

He didn't have the usual majesty as a big elder of a clan, as if he was just a kind old man.

"Who is that guy? He actually needs the great elder to meet him personally?"

"I do not know...?"

The two young men who were on duty at the gate of Uchiha looked dumbfounded.

Because of their work, they can't walk around at will, so they don't know that the person who accompanied the elder to enter just now is Shirakumo Hayama, who has been popular in the clan in the past few days.

Hayama followed the great elder into the Uchiha clan, and more and more Uchiha people were encountered.

Because of the reason that he wandered around to gain prestige in the past few days, there are naturally many Uchiha people who know Hayama when they go out.

As a result, more and more people began to whisper and point.

But because Hayama was brought by the great elder, no one dared to step forward and make trouble.

"Mikoto…"

The Grand Elder took Hayama to a mansion in the hinterland of Uchiha.

Then he knocked on the door and looked at Hayama with shame.

"Grandfather..."

Just now, A melodious and tactful voice came out from the mansion like a trickle of spring water.

Immediately after the door was opened, Mikoto also slowly caught Hayama's eyes.

Although she was wearing simple home clothes and a loose fence around her body, none of these could conceal her graceful posture.

"Mikoto…come here, let me introduce you…"

"Elder, let's go in and talk about it."

Looking at Mikoto with red cheeks and the Uchiha people curiously watching, Hayama quickly interrupted the elder.

After all, girls are quite easy to be shy, and it is a bit wrong to say it to the public.

"Yes, yes, yes… Let us go inside the house…"

The elder happily held Hayama, and the two of them walked past Mikoto together and entered the mansion.

Mikoto secretly breathed a sigh of relief before closing the door and turning around to follow.

"Come here"

The Grand Elder took Hayama directly into the living room.

And at this time, the dining table in the living room was already full of dishes.

"To tell you the truth… These are all made by Mikoto…"

After the three of them were seated, the elder lavishly praised his granddaughter's work.

Sure enough, it would be nice to have such a woman in a family!

Seeing the full of delicacies, Hayama couldn't help feeling in his heart.

Since the death of his parents, he hasn't seen so many dishes for a long time.

He usually just cooks ramen and eats it... Like a certain blonde kid...

"By the way, where are your mother and father, Mikoto-san?"

After entering Mikoto and the Great Elder's house, Hayama noticed that they were the only ones here

"Eh..."

Hearing Hayama's words, the elder sighed and said: "Mikoto's parents were killed in the last Ninja World War, so this child had no parents since she was a child..."

"This..."

Hayama was speechless for a while.

He unexpectedly mentioned some unnecessary and possibly sensitive topic

Fortunately, Mikoto didn't look too sad, maybe she was used to it.

"Wait"

In order to redeem his mistake, Hayama quickly stood up and said to Mikoto:

"Forgive me. Please forget about what I said and please accept these!"

In Hayama's raised hands, as if by magic, a bunch of bright red roses suddenly appeared.

"Ah──"

Mikoto exclaimed as the fragrance of flowers came from the shop.

When Hayama raised his empty hands, she was still wondering what the gift was and where is the gift?

Unexpectedly, a bunch of roses suddenly changed.

"Hurry up…what are you doing…"

Seeing Mikoto staring at Rose blankly, the elder hurriedly reminded him.

"this..."

Mikoto hesitated.

The meaning of roses is almost self-evident.

If you accept it, it is tantamount to accepting the other's will.

However, the two usually don't have much interaction, and she doesn't know how she feels about Hayama.

When the great elder was secretly anxious, Mikoto secretly gave Hayama a glance, and then took the flower down with a blushing face.

*Sigh...*

Seeing Mikoto accept the rose, Hayama also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he actually regretted it when he took out a bunch of roses.

Because the first time they meet in this format, one gift is enough. You can express your importance without making the other person feel embarrassed.

He quickly handed out a bunch, feeling that he was really low…

"Good, good~ Let's eat now…"

The great elder smiled and rounded the field, and the scene was relieved.

"*Nom*… this tempura is really good…"

After the three of them moved their chopsticks, Hayama immediately praised Mikoto without hesitation.

This is not flattering, she really did it well, and it was even better than Hayama's memory of the food his mother made.

"I'm not lying, it's delicious."

Hearing Hayama's praise, the great elder also smiled with a glorious look.
