Mirai Uchiha arrived at Hyūga Theater. Inside, it was dark as pitch.
But for Mirai Uchiha, whether there was light or not didn't affect his vision at all.
He strode directly toward Ino Yamanaka and asked, "Ino, why did you suddenly invite me to watch a movie?"
Ino looked somewhat shy as she lowered her head and softly said, "Teacher Mirai, it's just been so long since I last saw you. I missed you…"
After speaking, she took out a bouquet of flowers and placed it into Mirai's hands.
"These are the flowers I hand-arranged myself."
Mirai lifted the bouquet to smell it. A sweet fragrance filled his nostrils.
"Ino, your skills are really good."
"If you like them, Teacher Mirai, that's enough for me."
Looking at the blushing Ino, Mirai finally understood.
He hadn't even prepared anything yet, but this young woman couldn't hold back any longer.
Her purpose for inviting him here was obvious.
"Teacher Mirai, what are you looking at?"
Staring at Mirai made Ino feel uneasy.
"Nothing much. The movie is about to start soon. Let's focus on watching the movie for now."
Even though he understood Ino's intentions, Mirai didn't plan to make a move directly.
A girl who loves flowers definitely values ceremony and ritual deeply, so he wanted to prepare a date full of beautiful memories for both of them.
Staring at the movie screen, Ino felt extremely nervous.
She tried several times to gather the courage to confess to Mirai, but the words caught in her throat and wouldn't come out.
Ino became frustrated with herself internally.
Why was she so pathetic? How come she couldn't even say one sentence?!
However…
What if Mirai rejected her confession?
As Ino was caught between hope and fear, a warm large hand gently grabbed her left hand.
Mirai's gentle voice whispered, "Ino, let's focus on watching the movie first. Don't think about those messy things right now."
For some reason, hearing Mirai's words calmed Ino down instantly.
Teacher Mirai…
He must have already realized her feelings, right?
Finally, Ino focused her attention back onto the movie, and her heart gradually became peaceful.
More than two hours later, Mirai held Ino's hand and led her out from the theater.
Walking along the streets of Konoha, Ino felt her heart filled with sweetness.
Now she was certain—Teacher Mirai absolutely understood her feelings.
Under such circumstances, if Mirai had willingly taken her hand, his intentions were clear enough.
"Ino, let's go have dinner first."
Ino Yamanaka obediently nodded: "Teacher Mirai, I'll do whatever you say."
Led by Mirai Uchiha, the two arrived at a high-end restaurant.
Upon entering the room, they found no lights on—only candles burning atop the table.
"Teacher Mirai, did you prepare this?"
Mirai Uchiha smiled: "Ino, do you like it?"
"Yes! I love it!"
Ino Yamanaka vigorously nodded, her face filled with delight.
This atmosphere was absolutely magical.
Seeing Ino's happy expression, Mirai exhaled in relief.
It seemed his assumption had been correct—girls like Ino really would love a candlelit dinner setting.
After finishing dinner, Mirai Uchiha once again took Ino Yamanaka for a walk through the hills behind the restaurant.
Under a sky full of stars, only their breathing, chirping insects, and the fragrance of flowers could be heard.
Overlooking Konoha from above Hokage Rock, Mirai Uchiha wrapped his arms around Ino Yamanaka: "Ino, starting tonight, you'll belong solely to me, just like Hinata."
Ino Yamanaka, now grown up, was one of the most stunning beauties around.
Even Mirai Uchiha could hardly contain himself anymore.
Feeling Mirai's intense gaze, Ino Yamanaka shyly buried her head into his chest.
"Teacher Mirai, we won't get seen here, right?"
Whispering softly, Mirai replied: "No worries—I've already set up a protective barrier. We can see outside, but nobody can spot us..."
A flower that had been waiting to bloom finally opened in all its glory under the cool night breeze.

The next day,
Hinata Hyūga and Kurotsuchi arrived at the sweet shop where they'd arranged to meet Ino Yamanaka.
Kurotsuchi curiously asked: "Hinata, did Teacher Mirai return home last night?"
Shaking her head, Hinata softly replied: "I'm not sure either, but he definitely went to watch a movie with Ino."
Upon hearing this, Kurotsuchi felt even more curious inside.
Right now, she really wanted to know how far things had gone between Ino and Teacher Mirai.
As time passed, Kurotsuchi grew increasingly restless. Glancing at her watch, she couldn't help but say: "We've long passed the agreed time. How come Ino still hasn't arrived?"
Hinata swallowed the dessert in her mouth and casually replied, "I don't know either."
"Waitress, bring us another serving of every dessert on the menu."
Watching Hinata continuously eating, Kurotsuchi couldn't help expressing envy: "Hinata, how come you can eat so much and still maintain such a perfect figure? I wish I could have a physique like that too."
Hinata smiled slightly, somewhat bashfully: "Actually, I do gain weight—I just get curves instead of just getting bigger everywhere."
Looking at Hinata Hyuga's chest and then feeling her own figure, Kurotsuchi felt like crying.
The gap between people was truly enormous. Once again, she was completely crushed.
As the two were talking, Ino Yamanaka walked in through the door.
Kurotsuchi immediately said, "Ino Yamanaka, why are you so late?"
Ino Yamanaka stuck out her tongue. "I was too tired yesterday and accidentally overslept."
"Tired?" Kurotsuchi's eyes lit up. "Spill it!"
Ino Yamanaka playfully smacked Kurotsuchi. "Cut it out."
Hinata asked curiously, "Ino Yamanaka, did you confess to Mirai-sensei? What did he say?"
Thinking about what had happened last night, Ino Yamanaka smiled happily. "Hinata, now we're the same."
"That's great! From now on, we can live together!"
Hinata beamed happily.
Then, she turned her gaze toward Kurotsuchi. "Kurotsuchi, among the three of us sisters, you're the only one left."
"You have to work harder."
Kurotsuchi hesitated slightly. "Me? I still need to think about it."
Her body wasn't nearly as good as Hinata's or Ino Yamanaka's. She didn't think Mirai-sensei would find her attractive...
Ino Yamanaka encouraged her. "Kurotsuchi, you must believe in yourself. Mirai-sensei has mentioned many times how beautiful your legs are."
Upon hearing this, Kurotsuchi glanced down at her legs skeptically.
It's just legs... Do guys really get attracted to that?
