Hanabi didn't even need to think to know where that chill had come from.
'Seriously, I just wanted to go along to the moon and take a look. What is the big deal?'
'And besides, going on a date with two girls isn't anything strange. You also go with Yakumo to meet Aoba-nii anyway.'
'Even outsiders aren't a problem, yet you keep your own younger sister out. What a mean big sister.'
If it really didn't work, at worst she could just cover her eyes when they kissed, maybe leave a little gap.
But she definitely didn't dare say that out loud.
Because Hinata would actually hit her.
Hanabi pouted.
She was already this big, yet her sister still kept smacking her butt.
Thinking about it, Hanabi snuggled further into Aoba's arms.
At the same time, her eyes would occasionally glance toward Hinata, making faces at her.
Her sister listened to Aoba-nii the most. As long as she stayed in Aoba's arms, she was invincible.
"..."
Hinata looked at her little sister hiding in Aoba's arms, acting fearless, and her already slightly displeased expression turned a bit speechless.
Every time she used Aoba as a shield. Did she really think that just because Aoba was there, she would hold back and not smack her?
If it were any other time, she wouldn't mind letting Aoba take Hanabi along. After all, a place like the moon, forget Hanabi, even she herself was very curious.
But this time was different. Today was a very important date for her.
So she could only let Hanabi feel a bit wronged.
Aoba also stroked Hanabi's head and softly comforted her.
Across from them, Hyuga Ayako had a warm, amused smile on her face, while Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help twitching his lips again at the sight.
It had been who knew how long since this girl had acted spoiled in his arms, her old father…
'Why does my heart suddenly feel a bit sore?'
The excitement Hyuga Hiashi had felt earlier about the Tenseigan's evolution had already faded quite a bit.
He could only force himself not to look at Hanabi acting spoiled in Aoba's arms and pull the topic back.
"So Aoba, how are you planning to take Hinata to the moon? Could it be that the village has already developed some kind of scientific ninja tool capable of reaching the moon?"
"Not really, but it doesn't matter. I'll just use ninjutsu to fly up there with Hinata," Aoba said with a smile.
Since the moon created by Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura wasn't actually that far from the ninja world, with his speed, bringing Hinata along wouldn't take long.
Though on the way back, he could look for that passage.
'It seemed pretty beautiful.'
Although he said it casually, Hyuga Hiashi was a bit stunned.
Flying techniques in the ninja world were already extremely rare, not to mention flying directly to the moon. That was too exaggerated.
"If you're flying directly to the moon, won't it take quite a bit of time?"
Hyuga Ayako's focus was a bit different from Hyuga Hiashi's. The moon looked so far away, who knew how long it would take to fly there?
At this moment, Hyuga Natsu, who had been a bit dazed, also came back to her senses and asked, "Then should we prepare some food? That way, if Lord Aoba and Lady Hinata get hungry on the way, you'll have something to eat."
"This…"
Aoba hadn't expected their focus to be on this, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you to prepare some."
It wasn't that they would actually get hungry on the way, but the idea of eating while looking down at the ninja world from the moon with Hinata seemed pretty nice.
"Mm."
With everything that needed to be known already discussed, the matter of the Tenseigan was set aside.
After that, Hyuga Hiashi asked a few questions about the village, and breakfast passed in a peaceful atmosphere.
Hyuga Natsu and Hyuga Ayako went off together to prepare food for Aoba and Hinata to take with them.
Meanwhile, Aoba began checking Hanabi's recent studies at the ninja academy.
As his student, it wasn't enough to just look at ninja ability anymore.
After all, in the future of the ninja world, the role of ninja would definitely be different from now.
Fortunately, although Hanabi liked to play around, she was still a genius, the kind who led by a wide margin in almost all her subjects.
"After all, she's your student, Aoba-kun. Hanabi studies very hard every day so she won't embarrass you."
Hinata, who was sitting beside them, saw how satisfied Aoba looked and rarely spoke up to praise her little sister.
"I see. Then Hanabi, what reward do you want?"
Aoba looked at Hanabi, who started blinking her big eyes at him the moment Hinata finished speaking, and couldn't help but laugh.
Still, as a teacher, while it was fine to let things be most of the time, it was only right to give a reward when a student achieved good results.
As he spoke, he suddenly took out a banana milk-flavored lollipop like a magic trick, unwrapped it, and smiled.
"A lollipop?"
"Seriously, I'm not a kid anymore. Can you stop using lollipops every time?"
Hanabi puffed up her cheeks the moment she saw it.
Even though she liked them, he couldn't just use lollipops as a reward every time.
"Then what do you want?"
Aoba let Hanabi decide for herself. As long as it wasn't too much, he could accept it.
"Well…"
Hanabi tapped her soft pink lips and began to think.
Then, as if she thought of something, her eyes lit up. She leaned close to his ear and whispered.
By the time she finished, Aoba's expression gradually turned a bit strange.
"Are you sure?"
"Can't I?"
Hanabi said a little shyly.
Even though she was the one who made the request, she ended up getting embarrassed first.
"Hmm… it's not impossible. So do you still want the lollipop?"
Aoba didn't refuse, since it wasn't anything excessive, and he shook the lollipop in his hand again.
"I do!"
Hanabi immediately popped the lollipop into her mouth, smiling brightly as she ate it.
"Aoba-kun, what reward did Hanabi ask for?"
Hinata looked at her suspiciously and tugged at Aoba's sleeve, "If it's something too much, you can't spoil her."
"Well… it's not really anything excessive."
Aoba couldn't really explain it to Hinata.
To put it another way, this girl seemed to really like replenishing chakra the way she had just done earlier.
It wasn't anything difficult, and it would be a good chance to see whether Hanabi could also awaken the Tenseigan.
