Watching Yugito reach out both hands toward him like she was acting cute, Aoba felt it was rather novel and couldn't help wanting to watch her reaction a little longer.
Only Yugito's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Pouting, in just a moment her eyes were already misted over with tears.
Aoba hurriedly bent down and pulled her out from under the covers.
The blanket slipped down along her fair, smooth skin, revealing a pale, healthy body.
Yugito just hugged Aoba's neck like that, the mist in her eyes clearing, a smile returning to her face.
She didn't care at all about how she looked right now.
'Could she really be this stupid?'
Aoba worriedly pressed his forehead against hers.
He meant to see if Yugito had caught a chill last night and had a fever.
Instead she misunderstood his intention and kissed him directly.
Very proactively.
It was like a different person.
"All right, weren't you hungry?"
In the end Aoba was the one to back off a little.
'Confirmed, no fever, but a little…'
"Mm."
Yugito buried her head in his neck blushing, sniffing him like a little cat.
"..."
Aoba felt a little ticklish, "We can't just stay like this, can we?"
"Huh?"
Yugito blinked, looked up at him in puzzlement.
Aoba walked to the window and opened it without drawing the curtain.
Because the curtain had already been torn by some mischievous little cat yesterday.
The cool autumn breeze came in and blew away the smell of last night from the room.
Yugito instantly felt a chill and then realized she was still naked.
But she still didn't get off Aoba. She said a bit willfully, "You help me put my clothes on!"
Aoba felt like their roles had been reversed.
After dressing Yugito, he still carried her and quickly tidied the room.
The whole house looked like it had been roughly ravaged, messy and chaotic.
He straightened the messy desk, put the chair back, and tossed the clothes and silks scattered on the floor into the washing machine.
As for the sofa…
Yugito would just have to buy a new one.
When he carried Yugito back to his own house, everyone else had already gone out; only Konan, Uzuki Yugao, and Kin remained inside.
Konan had taken two days off this time. She had come home early yesterday because she still had questions she wanted to figure out, so she hadn't gone to work today either.
But when the three saw the two of them, their faces looked like they had seen a ghost.
'This is Yugito?'
'This girl, curled in Aoba's arms like an obedient little cat, all pink bubbles and entirely sweet and tame, this is Yugito?'
The three were stunned.
'People say pregnancy makes you dumb for three years; how did she get dumb in one night?'
"Lord Aoba, is Yugito all right?", Kin came closer and asked softly.
To be honest, Yugito's current appearance made her a little scared.
Her voice was low, but Yugito still heard it.
Yugito just glanced at her and then ignored her.
For some reason, Aoba's palms, his skin, even his hair gave her a strange feeling, as if merely being near him brought her a sense of security.
Although she had felt this before, after last night it was even stronger.
Aoba felt rather helpless about that.
He actually still preferred a tsundere Yugito.
Because teasing one was more fun.
"Maybe she just hasn't recovered yet. Is there any food at home?"
"Oh."
Kin looked a bit down but nodded, "There is. I'll heat it up now."
"Aoba, I want to eat what you make," Yugito coquettishly said.
"!"
Uzuki Yugao and Konan both shivered.
This clingy Yugito was too abnormal, and it made both Yugao and Konan feel some resentment.
Although they didn't show anger yesterday, that didn't mean they had no feelings.
Seeing Yugito glued to Aoba like she wanted to monopolize him made them a bit upset.
After all, even back then they hadn't been this clingy, had they?
"Ahem! Yugao, Konan, have you eaten yet?", Aoba had of course noticed the subtle change in their expressions.
"We already ate," both said with cold faces.
"Then… I'll make lunch too."
Aoba's mind worked quickly.
"Wait, Konan has something important to tell you."
Uzuki Yugao called to him again.
"Important?"
Aoba looked at Konan.
Konan nodded at him, expression serious, not joking.
"Kin, go warm up breakfast. Yugito, you get off Aoba."
Uzuki Yugao instructed the two.
"All right, Lady Yugao."
Kin ran into the kitchen a little delighted.
That cheeky cat Yugito had the nerve to act spoiled. Luckily Lady Yugao could hold the place together.
"Aoba…"
Yugito looked at Aoba wronged, clearly reluctant to get down.
"Yugao, just say it. Yugito isn't an outsider."
Aoba said. After all, Yugito rarely acted spoiled; indulging her a bit was fine.
"Are you sure you want to stay nearby?", Uzuki Yugao frowned and asked Yugito.
Yugito shrank her neck but still nodded.
In front of her she really didn't have much confidence.
"All right, come into the room with us."
Then Uzuki Yugao directly pulled Aoba toward the bedroom.
Konan followed closely.
"?"
Both had question marks on their faces.
'Is this really something serious?'
Aoba was pushed down onto his bed, and of course Yugito ended up there too.
"Konan, what exactly is it?"
Konan didn't beat around the bush. She said directly, "It's like this. Yesterday afternoon I suddenly found that my physical condition seems to have improved a lot, and my chakra amount increased out of nowhere."
"What?"
Aoba was stunned for a moment.
Konan continued with her theory, "This change seems to have appeared after you carried me into the bath. I suspect it might have a lot to do with your—"
"Ah?"
After the shock, Aoba seemed to understand something.
The day before yesterday he had obtained a Sage body. Hashirama Senju also had those terrifying effects in his cells after death because of the Sage body.
Then his living Sage body should be even more terrifying, so…
Having an effect of increasing chakra didn't seem that strange.
"This… huh? Yugao, why are you taking off your clothes?"
"Of course to check personally, to see whether it's related to you."
Uzuki Yugao opened her mouth wide, as if greatly surprised.
