"Uh…"
If she told Hagoromo and Hamura the truth, whether those two brothers would understand or not, Otsutsuki Kaguya herself didn't know either.
After all, everything that was supposed to happen had already happened.
But now that she had told Aoba everything, the future result should be completely different.
"Then after we get out, what should we do?"
Otsutsuki Kaguya stopped thinking about it and instead asked about the plans afterward.
"Of course…"
Hearing that, Aoba smiled again and held her hand once more, speaking in a relaxed tone.
"We eat when it's time to eat, play when it's time to play. You were sealed away for a thousand years. The outside world has already changed completely. After we get out, you should first get used to life outside."
"Eh?", Otsutsuki Kaguya froze again without meaning to.
But feeling the warmth coming from Aoba's palm, she quickly came back to herself and obediently nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"You'll really listen to everything I say?", Aoba blinked and asked curiously.
It was obvious that Otsutsuki Kaguya was a woman with very little initiative, but extremely powerful strength.
If he remembered correctly, even when she appeared as the final boss in the original story, most of the fighting seemed to rely on Black Zetsu directing her.
He was honestly curious how Otsutsuki Isshiki had ended up getting ambushed by her back then.
"Mhm…"
Otsutsuki Kaguya nodded after hearing the question, but then suddenly seemed to think of something, and her expression turned serious.
"Then will you abandon me after messing around?"
"?"
Aoba was a little confused, 'Isn't this development a bit too fast?'
'Up to now, haven't we only just held hands? How did it suddenly skip ahead to abandonment after a relationship?'
'And abandoning someone after messing around…'
'Do I look like that kind of man?'
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
The absent-minded cuteness on Otsutsuki Kaguya's face disappeared, and her brows lifted slightly.
It was still the same cold expression, but now there was more pressure behind it.
"…"
'Is changing expressions this fast some kind of natural skill women have?'
And before, when talking about the Otsutsuki clan, she hadn't reacted like this at all, but with this kind of topic she suddenly cared a lot.
The corner of Aoba's mouth twitched slightly. He couldn't help asking curiously, "Putting aside the abandonment part, do you even know what that phrase means?"
"I do," Otsutsuki Kaguya nodded seriously, then pointed at the whole bookshelf Aoba had given her.
"A lot of books have people like that. First they trick someone's feelings, then trick them into giving their body too. After taking everything, they throw the person away without taking responsibility, then leave alone and go trick someone else."
"…", Aoba didn't know what to say.
He could only say that even after not leaving the house for a thousand years, Otsutsuki Kaguya still had such strong awareness against scams, 'Looks like she didn't read these books for nothing.'
"It's good that you have this kind of awareness. There really are a lot of unreliable men out there," Aoba first affirmed her thinking, then asked in return, "But what do you think I could possibly trick from you as you are now?"
"Ah?"
Otsutsuki Kaguya opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.
Because… because it really did seem like she had nothing for him to trick out of her.
She was already sealed here to begin with, and still needed his help to get out.
'But…'
Otsutsuki Kaguya looked again at her small hand wrapped inside Aoba's warm hand.
She had thought their relationship was already very good.
'After all, we are holding hands…'
'Is that actually a very common thing outside?'
Just as she was quietly feeling down, she noticed the hand holding hers suddenly tighten a lot.
"?"
Otsutsuki Kaguya raised her head again.
"Of course I wouldn't abandon you after starting something. Since I'm the one bringing you out, then I'll take responsibility for you to the end too."
Seeing how she looked like she was about to fall apart, Aoba quickly changed his attitude and seriously answered the question she had asked earlier.
"Okay."
Otsutsuki Kaguya pressed her lips together and nodded coldly.
But Aoba, who was holding her hand, could immediately feel how much more relaxed she was now.
Her hand, which had been tense before, softened.
'She really is easy to comfort.'
Aoba simply stopped telling her strange stories and instead talked about all kinds of changes in the outside world.
For example, places like amusement parks and movie theaters, things Otsutsuki Kaguya had seen in books but didn't really understand.
By the time he had roughly explained everything to her, several hours had already passed.
With Aoba's abilities, he naturally explained while also giving live demonstrations.
Otsutsuki Kaguya felt somewhat addicted to it.
She suddenly felt that the previous times he came over, only listening to stories had been a bit of a loss.
———
After showing her all that, Aoba left the sealing space.
Outside, there was already no one there. Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura couldn't possibly wait there the whole time.
But after he came out, there was no need for him to look for them. The brothers appeared again on their own.
Their expressions were both somewhat complicated.
Otsutsuki Hamura was still okay. After all, he had already experienced being provoked by Aoba before, so he could still accept it now.
But Otsutsuki Hagoromo felt terrible, and asked in a gloomy tone, "Is your relationship with her very good?"
After all, once Aoba went in, it was one or two hours. Time inside the sealing space would naturally be even longer.
A man and a woman staying alone together… He couldn't imagine what kind of topic between a man and woman could last that long.
Seeing that expression on his face, Aoba didn't indulge him. He waved his hand and said openly, "Yeah, it's pretty good. But my relationship with Kaguya is between me and her. You two can keep your relationships with me separate from that."
Hagoromo, Hamura: "..."
