Tsunade Can Hear My Inner Voice novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 - 41: Tsunade's Shamelessness

Hikari looked at Tsunade with an expression of utter disbelief—he was completely stunned.

[I've never seen anyone this shameless!]

[Do you think you're DLC Hokage or something?!]

[Still asking for more money?!]

Of course, Tsunade had no idea what DLC Hokage meant, but that didn't stop her from continuing.

"What? You should have plenty of money! Think about my status—I'm the Fifth Hokage of Konoha! Spending money on me is a deal you won't regret. Who knows, if I'm in a good mood one day, I might even throw in a buy-one-get-one-free deal and send Shizune your way!"

Hikari: (-_-)

[Do you really think I'd fall for your nonsense?!]

Seeing Tsunade completely throw her dignity away, Kamizuki Hikari stood up without hesitation and turned to leave.

"Don't go! I don't have money to pay the bill!"

Tsunade had many flaws, and she was even known to dodge debts, but when it came to paying for food, she still had some principles.

Right now, the restaurant owner was glaring at her, clearly worried she'd make a run for it.

With Tsunade's strength, even if this were the heavily guarded Kumogakure instead of the Land of Fire's capital, she could easily escape without paying.

But doing something like that would be truly shameless.

Even Tsunade had some standards.

Hikari turned back, took out 100,000 ryō from his pocket, and placed it on the table. "Make sure to pay. I don't want to see the Fifth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village washing dishes to clear a debt."

"Heh heh!"

Happily grabbing the money, Tsunade went to settle the bill and returned with a bottle of sake, drinking straight from it.

"Let's go!"

Hikari was once again amazed by Tsunade's ability to shatter his worldview. "You're not eating?"

Tsunade shook the bottle in her hand. "In this life, all I need is alcohol!"

Fine.

Hikari couldn't be bothered to argue further and turned to leave. Tsunade quickly caught up, looping her arm through his while still holding the sake bottle.

"Hey, Hikari, want a sip? I just drank from it~!"

"It's indirect kiss—charging you 100,000 ryō for it isn't too much, right?"

Hikari gave her a look of pure disdain. "For 100,000 ryō, I could go to Takamagahara and have a proper time. Why would I waste it on you?"

"What's wrong with me? Tell me, I'll change!" Tsunade wasn't the least bit offended by Hikari's contempt. As far as she was concerned, as long as he kept giving her money, he could insult her all he wanted.

At most, she'd just curse him behind his back later.

Looking at Kamizuki Hikari's face—so reminiscent of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama—Tsunade felt an inexplicable sense of kinship. And knowing that Hikari was absurdly wealthy only strengthened that feeling.

"I just want you to stay away from me!"

[You're a grown woman—have some self-awareness! You're the Fifth Hokage of Konoha! Aren't you embarrassed, making a scene like this?]

Tsunade grinned at him.

"Oh, you're worried about me exposing my identity, aren't you?"

"I knew you cared about me!"

Hikari: ???

[Is this woman insane?]

[When did I ever show concern for her? And how did she even figure out I was annoyed about her exposing her identity?]

Hearing Hikari's inner thoughts, Tsunade's mood brightened even more.
