Konoha's journey to find eternal life

Chapter 260 Affectionate Confession 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

Before Kinoshita Ryoichi could answer, the sound of objects falling behind him interrupted the two of them.

Turning his head to look, behind him is the Kinoshita sect who followed quietly!
And what Furusawa Mariko said to Ryoichi, he heard everything in his ears.

He always thought that it was his brother who helped him introduce girlfriends and pull red lines, but it turned out that he became a light bulb instead.

After being stunned for a few seconds, the clan quickly picked up the flowers on the ground and hid them behind him.

He was so distraught that he didn't know what to do, he just wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong.

"Master..."

Ryoichi called out to the clan from behind.

Once you run away, I really don't know if there will be tomorrow...

Mariko's originally blushing cheeks also changed a little due to the clan's intrusion.

Confessions were overheard, the key was acquaintances, which made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Well, I suddenly remembered that there was still something to do at home, so I..."

The clan was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole in the ground and get in.

The woman he likes confesses to his good brother, he is happy and sad and a little bit unwilling.

But Mariko likes Hideki, I should bless them.

After all, Hideki who has children is not as easy to find as herself...

Thinking in my heart, even though Mariko is a girl whom the family has liked for many years, reason tells him that he should quit, and silently bless them.

"Don't leave, clan! If you really leave, I will look down on you."

Ryoichi grabbed Takato who was trying to escape, and knocked over a bouquet of roses he was holding.

The rose fell to the ground again, and this time it finally fell into Mariko's eyes.

"Master, are you going to confess your love? Whose girl is it?"

Mariko is a little puzzled, she has not yet realized that the person the clan likes is her.

And she naively thought that the clan was going to confess to others.

"Let's talk at home first."

The atmosphere was a bit cold, especially since Zong's resignation was written all over his face, Ryoichi hurriedly rounded up and welcomed the two into the yard.

"You are all here, please come in!"

Shimura Kamiko had already prepared dinner, and seeing Ryoichi and the others come back, she immediately welcomed them into the house like a hostess.

This……

Kamiko's natural reaction stunned Mariko for a moment.

Even though Mariko knows that Kamiko is staying at Hideki's house, Kamiko's attitude has completely crossed the line.

So he looked at Ryoichi suspiciously, as if asking him what was going on.

"Please sit inside."

Unexpectedly, Ryoichi put his backhand on Kamiko's waist, pretending to be a couple, and said to Mariko and his clan.

Kamiko blushed, Mariko's eyes widened, and Zongren seemed to understand why Hideki insisted on letting him stay.

Hideki Yagi and Kamiko are together?

At the banquet, Mariko and Zongren had their own thoughts, and both of them were a little restless.

Want to ask but can't ask.

Shiori's grandfather and grandma knew that Hideki was going to be a matchmaker for the two, so they took Shiori who was reluctant to leave the table after a quick dinner, leaving the four of them in the living room.

The atmosphere was awkward.

Under Ryoichi's gaze, Kamiko took the lead in clarifying her intentions: "Brother Zongren, the flowers you brought are so beautiful, just like sister Mariko."

"It's, it's..."

Ryoichi also took the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar.

The two came back and forth, and didn't make the conversation too straightforward, but Mariko understood what Ryoichi and Kamiko meant.

"Xiu Shu?"

Mariko was a little angry and a little restless.

But out of politeness, because she didn't want to hurt Kinoshita Zongren, who was also her good friend, by saying something too harsh.

Mariko always thought that Hideki liked her.

Back then, she didn't accept Xiushu because Xiushu and Zhizi were in a relationship, and she thought Xiushu was a scumbag.

But in the past two years, Hideki protected Mariko everywhere on the battlefield, which once again touched her heart.

And now that Zhizi is gone, she doesn't have to bear the reputation of being a bad woman.

When she heard that Xiu Shu invited her to be a guest at home, she thought that Xiu Shu was going to confess her love to her.

She made up all kinds of plots in her mind, and she was mentally prepared to be Shiori's mother.

However, Hideki is with Kamiko!

Not only that, Xiu Shu also pushed her in front of the clan.

Am I cargo?
Is it the woman you call and come and go?

Am I a bitch?

Mariko was really wronged in her heart, but at this moment she was expressionless.

Her pride does not allow her to write her thoughts on her face, and her self-esteem does not allow her to show cowardice.

In addition, she can't behave too much, she is kind and doesn't want to hurt the clan sitting opposite her.

"Actually, people who like you have always been clan members."

Ryoichi can't figure out a woman's heart, but in this case, there are some things that don't need to be guessed at all.

While speaking, Ryoichi frantically gave the fidgeting Zongren his eyes.

People who like you have always been Zongren...

Mariko was stunned when she heard the words, and turned her head to look at the clan with her head buried deeply.

In fact, it's all a coincidence!

Ryoichi actually doesn't know what happened to him and Mariko before.

But he knew very clearly that he couldn't like Mariko, nor could he be ambiguous with Mariko.

He can avoid suspicion of all women in the world, but only Mariko Guzawa, he is absolutely impossible to do anything to make her misunderstand.

Even if he protects Mariko on the battlefield and protects Mariko everywhere, it is only because Ryoichi is afraid of Mariko being hurt.

"Mariko, I'm sorry."

Ryoichi's unintentional words pierced Kinoshita's mind, he was too embarrassed to raise his head, so he had to apologize to Mariko again.

"sorry?"

Mariko froze for a moment, then continued to stare at the clan in puzzlement.

"I'm sorry, I was the one who peeked at you taking a bath... I'm sorry, I was the one who gave you the love letter, and when I saw your angry expression, I lied that it was from Hideki... I'm sorry, I was the one who gave you the heart bento... …sorry……"

Zongren kept apologizing.

Those things that Mariko thought were done by Hideki were all secretly done by the timid clan in the name of brothers.

"Master Kinoshita!"

The more Mariko listened, the more shocked she became. She stretched out her jade finger and pointed at the clan who dared not raise her head. She wanted to say something but couldn't.

She once thought that Xiu Shu did those things, and she once thought that Xiu Shu was a complete scumbag.

Unexpectedly, those things were all done by the clan!
"Sorry, I like you!"

Knowing that this was his last chance, Zongren finally plucked up the courage to look up at Mariko and confess.

"I'm sick, did you send the medicine?"

"Ah."

"My house is on fire, did you secretly pay for the new house?"

"Ah."

"You also killed the murderer who set the fire?"

"Um……"

"No wonder I couldn't see you during that time, so you were arrested by Anbu for interrogation?"

"Um, yes..."

When Mariko questioned the clan, Ryoichi gave Kamiko a look, and then the two left the living room together, leaving them a private space.
