CHAPTER 5 : Consider that I lost

Curiosity killed the cat.

  This law also applies to women or girls.

  When the opposite sex doesn't show interest in getting to know you, it means you don't have a chance and no matter how much you show it, it won't do any good.

  But as long as the opposite sex's desire to explore increases, it means you have achieved 1/3, and the rest is to show yourself like a peacock spreading its tail and leave her deeply fascinated.

  It is a very old-fashioned Love Sutra, but it is very real and has a return to nature.

  There is a new bet, but the winner has not yet been decided, and the cross between Chiba and Tsunade ends here.

  After all, the two had known each other for less than half a day, so it was impossible for them to suddenly become so familiar. Even if Chiba wanted to, with Tsunade's temper, she wouldn't let Chiba get her wish. Even if he acted too much or deliberately, it would be counterproductive.

  Being relaxed, not entangled, not clingy and slowly breaking the relationship between two people is the way to get along in the long run.

  Everything must be done naturally. It doesn't matter if you use a few routines at the beginning, but if you use too many routines, it will look deliberate and you will be looked down upon.

  Ninja teacher Takezawa returned, gave the students in the class their first lesson of the school year, and left school early.

  After all, the first day is just for them to familiarize themselves, and normal classes will start on the second day.

  Facing the sunlight that had just set in the west, Chiba and Tsunade walked side by side, their cheeks protruding and both holding sweets in their mouths.

  "Are you going home after school?" Chiba asked.

  "Yes." Tsunade returned to her cold demeanor and replied simply.

  "So..." Chiba stopped at the school gate and waved, "See you tomorrow!"

  "But the bet isn't over yet..." Tsunade's expression fluctuated and she spoke a little faster, "Why..."

  "Just accept that I lost." Chiba smiled softly, "I just want to make you happy, the bet isn't that important."

  "But..."

  Tsunade wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Chiba. "Tsunade, smile more and don't let external factors affect your good mood. And... you look good when you smile, seriously!"

Tsunade's heart skipped a beat for half a second.

  He also has a beautiful smile and is also very kind...

  Ufa.

  There was a faint sound of objects being thrown, and Tsunade unconsciously reached out to grab it. When she opened her palms, there were two more beautiful candies in her palms.

  "Remember, when you are unhappy, take one and it will all go away. Likewise, when you are happy, take one and your happiness will be doubled."

  Chiba removed her palms and assumed a posture that she thought was free, and placed her hands behind her head and walked forward minding her own business.

  Before even taking two steps, Tsunade followed him, containing a smile in her eyes.

  Chiba was also confused for a moment. Did her relationship with Tsunade develop so quickly?

  There was no system idle warning...

  Tsunade didn't say anything. In just a few steps, she reached Chiba and walked side by side with him again.

  "My house is right there."

  Tsunade did her best to keep her tone calm, but her fluttering eyelashes still betrayed her.

  "…"

  Chiba was speechless. She had put so much ground on the school gate, but the two ended up passing through?

  Damn!

  "Yup." He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, "Haha, good luck on your way. I originally wanted to cheat, but I can't escape this time..."

  "Ehh, so you wanted to betray the bet?" Tsunade's bright brown eyes suddenly widened, "You said that because you thought you were about to lose, right?"

  "Scoundrel..."

  "Well, since I was discovered and caught by you, then... What do you want to eat? I'll take care of you!"

  Chiba successfully alleviated the embarrassment and set a time for dinner, so he naturally seemed more generous.

  "Let's eat roast chicken!"

  Tsunade immediately agreed, "The chicken made at that store is very tender and tastes great!"

  "Then let's have roast chicken!"

  "But... I should be able to pay, right?"

  Chiba's sudden change of conversation caused Tsunade to be unable to understand for a moment. She could only raise her eyes slightly. and look at Chiba looked at him.   

  "The roast chicken at that store is a bit expensive, otherwise... let's try it another day." Tsunade's eyes were a little cloudy when she spoke, making it difficult to understand.

  "No, no, no, I didn't mean that." Chiba took advantage of the situation and grabbed Tsunade's hand, "I have a better place to go, and I'm sure you'll be pleased!"

   Tsunade's eyes sparkled again. She got up and followed him, temporarily ignoring that Chiba was holding her hand at the moment.

"You are telling the truth?"

  "Of course, I won't lie to you."

  Chiba replied with a smile. After a while, she pulled Tsunade and quickly disappeared around the corner of the alley.

  At this moment, some children who were looking at the backs of the two had empty eyes, as if their most important things had been taken away.

  ...

  "Boss, I want these two chickens."

  "Boss, wrap these ingredients for me."

  "Boss..."

  Chiba took Tsunade through the streets and bought many ingredients.

  Tsunade's excitement at first gradually became boring, and finally she became angry and her temper gradually increased.

  "Chiba!"

  Tsunade puffed out her cheeks, "Can you please stop giving me all the things you bought!"

  "Ahem, I'm sorry, I forgot about that for a moment."

  As she spoke, Chiba helped Tsunade share some of the burden and removed the two chickens that kept flapping from her arms.

  "Hmph, we agreed that the loser would treat us to a meal, but this is how we treat him." Tsunade pouted, "Are you planning on eating it raw with the spices you bought?

  "Pfffff!!"

  "Are you still laughing?" Tsunade broke down, "Can you be more serious?"

  "I'm not kidding, I'll make a delicious dish later." Looking at Tsunade, "Have you ever had a chicken roasted using a method called curanto?"

[A/N: The name and preparation method may be wrong, after all, it's been about 3 or 4 years since I saw this preparation method.]

  "No!"

  Tsunade responded impatiently. Although she didn't leave immediately, she stopped talking to Chiba.

  Chiba wasn't upset either. Either way, Tsunade would definitely swallow her tongue when she ate the chicken later.

  The two were silent as they carried the ingredients. Tsunade also had a cold face, showing off her cold lolita style.

  Chiba couldn't find any subject to liven up the mood, so he grabbed Tsunade and ran to the outskirts of Konoha Village.

  As soon as he arrived at the destination, Chiba became busy. In less than an hour, he clapped his hands and announced that the chicken was ready!

  Although Tsunade watched Chiba busy with interest at first, the unhappiness in her heart gradually dissipated. She had never experienced things like picnics many times.

  But when she saw Chiba burying the chicken and now taking it out of the ground, she was no longer calm.

  "How can you eat if it's all mud?"

  "Just peel off the mud shell and you can try the most delicious food in the world!"

  Hearing Chiba blow vigorously, Tsunade raised her fist in doubt and punched the shell.

  However, he used too much force and the mud shell was broken into pieces miserably along with the cloth wrapping the chicken.

  Tsunade secretly looked at Chiba and saw that the other party didn't have any special expression, and Tsunade was relieved.

  But in the next second, the smell of meat mixed with the unique fragrance of earth entered her nose, which instantly brought Tsunade's attention back on track.

  "It smells so good!!!"

  Her bright brown eyes suddenly widened and he raised his hand to wipe it on her clothes. Despite the burning in her hands, he broke off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

  "This is so good!"

Chiba pursed his lips and said nothing, and also began to eat.

  (End of chapter)

[A/N: Again, the name and preparation method may be wrong so if you want to know more, just research it later.]
