Tsunade Can Hear My Inner Voice novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 - 18: Drunk Tsunade

TL Note:

I thought it would be sad to switch from four Chapters a day to just one, so here's a bonus Chapter. Cheer up!

"Drink, drink more!"

Inside the izakaya, Tsunade had one hand slumped on the table while the other picked up a bottle of sake, ready to drink straight from it.

Kamizuki Hikari looked at the bottle in front of him, then at the completely drunk Tsunade, and sighed as he covered his face.

How embarrassing.

[Who said women always smell nice? Just look at this drunk Tsunade—reeked of alcohol! Even if she were given to me for free, I wouldn't take her!]

"Don't say I reek of alcohol! If you keep talking, I'll beat you to death!"

Drunk as she was, Tsunade seemed to forget that she had just heard Hikari's thoughts and mumbled at him.

Hikari wasn't bothered by her words. _{freēwebnovel.com}

After all, who would argue with a drunken fool?

"Tsunade-sama, why are you drinking so much?!"

Shizune hurried over, and upon seeing the number of empty bottles, her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

As Hokage, Tsunade naturally had a salary and could occasionally make some extra money.

But she had only been Hokage for less than a month. Where would she even get her payroll? And as for earning extra cash, even if she wanted to, she hadn't had the time yet.

After the death of the Third Hokage, he left behind quite a mess. It was only because they were in a time of peace that things weren't even worse.

"Um, Hikari, do you have any money?" Shizune checked her pockets and asked.

Money!

Hearing that word, Hikari immediately felt unwell.

She wanted him to pay the bill.

"Sorry, Shizune, I'm just an ordinary gate guard. I don't have much money. How about we each pay for our own? Tsunade-sama drank all of that, so you cover her tab, and I'll pay for the one bottle I drank. Sound fair?"

Shizune looked at the pile of empty bottles next to Tsunade and sighed, raising her head to the sky.

Having to deal with such a wasteful master, she was just as broke.

"Hikari, all I have left is my basic living expenses. Even if I put everything together, it's not enough to cover the bill. How about..."

Before she could finish, Tsunade suddenly shoved the table aside, clearing the space between her and Hikari, and then lunged forward.

"Granduncle, I miss you so much!"

Shizune: ???

Hikari: [What the hell? Since when did I suddenly get such a big granddaughter?]

"Granduncle, I lost another bet today. You'll give me money, right?!" As she spoke, Tsunade shamelessly started searching Hikari's body.

Before long, she fished out his wallet.

[That's my wallet! Tsunade, have some decency!]

Ignoring his thoughts, Tsunade opened the wallet, pulled out a thick wad of cash, and handed it to Shizune. "Go pay the bill!"

Hikari immediately reached out, trying to grab it back. "You don't need that much! I'll just pay for myself!"

But Shizune ignored him. Seeing that thick stack of ten-thousand ryo bills, her eyes gleamed, and she turned to pay the owner without hesitation.

"Heh heh, Granduncle, you have so much money but refuse to get married. What are you saving it for?"

Tsunade spoke as she pulled out a bankbook from his wallet.

"Now, be honest. What's the password for this?"

[Pfft, shameless. You think I'd tell you the password? Dream on!]

Tsunade: 'Why isn't this guy thinking about the password? Hurry up and think! If you don't, all this acting will be for nothing!'
