Tsunade Can Hear My Inner Voice novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50 - 50: Laughing in His Sleep

Deep within the dense forest, beside a crackling campfire.

Tsunade and Yuhi Kurenai both stared intently at Kamizuki Hikari, their eyes filled with silent accusation.

"Kekeke, huhuhu!"

A strange, oddly cheerful giggle escaped Hikari's lips, making Tsunade and Kurenai clench their fists in irritation.

"How about I beat him up, and you pretend you didn't see anything?" Tsunade suggested.

Kurenai seemed tempted, but after a moment of hesitation, she shook her head. "But... he hasn't really done anything to deserve such treatment... Wouldn't that be unfair?"

"Relax. Men like this need a beating!"

Tsunade had both old grudges and new ones to settle. Just thinking about how Hikari had disrespected her in his head before made her fists itch with anticipation.

"Still... this doesn't feel quite right." Kurenai said, though not as firmly as before.

"Enough talking—let's do it!"

*SMACK!*

A loud slap echoed through the night. Hikari's eyes snapped open. Seeing Kurenai standing in front of him with her hand raised and her cheeks flushed, he instantly understood what had happened.

"Oh, Kurenai... you woke me up so late... are you planning to do something naughty with me?"

Kurenai: "???"

Tsunade: "...Hah?"

Their minds blanked for a second, question marks practically floating above their heads.

"Come on!" Hikari continued smoothly. "I already scouted a nice spot—a flower field, secluded and romantic. Perfect for some... intimate bonding."

"Uh..." Kurenai pointed at Tsunade. "If I said it wasn't me who slapped you, would you believe me?"

Tsunade looked at Hikari with zero guilt, her expression clearly saying: Yeah, I did it. What are you gonna do about it?

[Of course I know it was this big-breasted woman who slapped me. But still—when picking a fight, always go for the easier target!]

"Kurenai, don't be so shy!" Hikari sighed dramatically. "I won't judge you for being forward. Tsunade-sama is here, but we can sneak away for an hour or two. She won't mind."

Tsunade smiled.

And that smile only widened when she saw Hikari avoid meeting her gaze. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"An hour, huh? Kid, you're really overselling yourself."

"As a medical-nin, I specialize in human physiology. The average man's endurance is something I know very well. An hour? Impossible. If you last even half that, I'd be shocked."

Kurenai's face turned crimson. Hikari, however, only looked more intrigued.

"Tsunade-sama, I never lie. If you don't believe me, why don't we test it? If I last an hour, you apologize. If I don't, I'll give you 200,000 ryō. Deal?"

"Are you serious?"

"Dead serious."

"Alright then, let's—" Tsunade trailed off, just as Hikari's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Well? Go on!" Hikari urged.

"Heh."

With a cold chuckle, Tsunade reached out and pinched his cheek. "You think I'm some naive little girl who'd fall for that? You think 200,000 ryo is enough to drag me into the woods? You must really look down on me!"

[So... she wants me to raise the price?]

Hikari didn't resist. Tsunade's pinch wasn't painful—just mildly annoying.

[Ah, what a shame.]

[If she'd actually gone with me, I'd have made sure she enjoyed every second of that hour. She'd be grinning in her sleep afterward.]
