Chapter 209: Personnel Appointment
"The Assistant to the Hokage is your mission. In the future, you can just help me with the paperwork," Tsunade said, her tone slightly awkward.
"This is also contributing to the village, which is very important," she added, her cheeks flushing a little. While she had a big-hearted nature, this was her first time tricking someone in such a way.
"No, I can't do it," Shōta protested. He had seen the stacks of papers on the Hokage's desk before and was already growing anxious. The sheer volume of work looked enough to crush anyone.
"How can a man say he can't do it?" Kawakaze interjected firmly. "It's settled. Come to work early tomorrow."
Before Shōta could utter another word of protest, Kawakaze grabbed Tsunade and dragged her away. Left staring at the now-empty seats, Shōta felt utterly defeated.
What kind of people are these? If they had been upfront and said something like "be the Hokage's assistant and help with paperwork," I wouldn't have agreed even if they threatened to kill me!
Shōta's expression fell, his mood sinking like a ship in a storm. This was the most elaborate setup he had ever encountered.
"Haha, I've found someone for you. Don't drag me into handling paperwork in the future," Kawakaze declared gleefully as he and Tsunade arrived back at the Senju mansion.
"You're so mean!" Tsunade exclaimed, glaring at him before sitting down on her bed.
"Never mind being mean, this is a brilliant solution, isn't it? It didn't take more than five minutes from start to finish," Kawakaze said proudly, clearly unbothered.
"Pfft~" Tsunade couldn't help but burst out laughing, remembering Shōta's stunned expression. It was truly his misfortune to have crossed paths with Kawakaze.
