Chapter 7
"Brother, this child wet the bed last night."
Neji loudly complained to Neiki as soon as he got up.
The culprit, Hanabi Hyuga, hid behind the door, sniffling softly.
Having been brought from the Hyuga clan's main house to this small pavilion, possibly due to the brothers' similar Byakugan or the lingering effects of the Tsukuyomi illusion, Hanabi hadn't shown any fear or tears. She only pouted and looked at them with a grievance when Neji pointed at her.
Neiki was preparing breakfast and glanced at Neji, noticing the large wet spot on his clothes. He clicked his tongue in distaste and said, "Go change your clothes and wash up before talking to me."
When the three sat down to eat breakfast, a few clothes and a bedsheet were drying on the balcony.
"Brother, whose child is this, and how long is she going to stay with us?" Neji couldn't help but ask while gnawing on corn. Ever since their father's death, it was the first time someone else had moved into their home, which he found quite unsettling.
"You don't need to worry about that. Hanabi won't be staying with us for long. As her older brother from the same clan, just take good care of her while she's here," Neiki said casually, glancing at Hanabi, who was quietly sipping milk.
Taking Hanabi was just a tactic to scare the stubborn Hiashi into giving up information. The little girl was only two years old and had just awakened her Byakugan, so she couldn't provide much essence.
