Tsunade Can Hear My Inner Voice novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 - 48: The Temptation of Returning to the Village

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

"Who is it?!"

Annoyed by the obnoxious knocking, Kamizuki Hikari furrowed his brows and forced his sleepy eyes open.

"Who the hell has such terrible manners?"

"Knocking this early in the morning—do you have a death wish?!"

Tsunade's voice came from behind him, causing Hikari's eyes to widen in shock.

[Wait... this isn't my room... oh my god, don't tell me I lost my innocence?!]

*Whack!*

Having reached her limit, Tsunade smacked Hikari on the head.

"Get out!"

[Alright, alright... real men don't fight women!]

Hikari got up and glanced back. Tsunade was still lying under the covers, her eyes locked on him like they were laced with murderous intent.

Looking down and seeing that his clothes were still perfectly intact, Hikari couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

[Sigh... looks like my innocence is still intact.]

[Tsunade, seriously? I gave you the perfect chance, and you didn't take it. Aren't you supposed to be the Hokage? So disappointing!]

"Scram!"

Tsunade growled, flustered and furious.

What did he mean by saying she missed her chance?

She was a woman, after all, and she certainly wasn't into some random guy like Kamizuki Hikari. He was completely beneath her notice.

[Heh, women. Enjoy the feast and then pretend nothing happened, huh?]

Despite the trash talk running wild in his head, Hikari kept a calm expression and walked out of the room. Only after he was gone did Tsunade throw off the blanket, revealing her radiant form.

'So embarrassing!'

'Why do I have this bad habit of stripping when I drink? I seriously need to fix that...'

'Whatever, I'll just drink less from now on.'

Tsunade could usually hold her liquor, but even she had limits. She'd been drinking from noon until late into the night yesterday. The room was still littered with empty bottles piled like a small mountain.

"Scrub-a-dub-dub, I love bathing, my skin's so fine~"

"The hell?! What are you doing in here?!"

Hikari was mid-shower when Kamizuki Izumo walked in, forcing him to instinctively cover his rear.

'Trying to sneak up on me? Not today—I'm on full alert.'

Izumo took one glance at Hikari's lower half, then immediately turned his head away.

"Hey, Hikari, we're leaving today. Think you can talk Tsunade-sama into letting me buy a couple of maids before we head back? I heard the ones in the Daimyo's court are professionally trained. They're apparently amazing at taking care of people."

"Do you have the money?" Hikari looked at him suspiciously.

No need to ask—high-quality maids definitely came with a high price tag.

With Izumo's income, buying one might be barely possible. Two? He'd have better luck dreaming.

"Ahem, that's why I'm coming to you! Hikari, lend me a little, would ya? In all these years, your big bro's never asked you for anything... just this tiny favor, you get what I mean?" Izumo waggled his brows suggestively.
