Chapter 27: Assembly
Early the next morning.
Kamizuki Hikari was rudely awakened from his slumber by his older brother, Kamizuki Izumo. After washing up, the two obediently made their way to the village gate.
As the gatekeepers of Konoha, this was the place the Kamizuki brothers were most familiar with.
Without a doubt.
"Morning, Izumo!" When the Kamizuki brothers arrived, Hagane Kotetsu was already there.
Kamizuki Izumo smiled and nodded, his face brimming with excitement. Anyone unaware of the situation might have thought he was going on a blind date.
Compared to him, Kamizuki Hikari looked utterly lifeless, as if he could fall asleep at any moment.
"Hikari, you can't be like this. Today, we're accompanying Tsunade-sama on a mission. As a member of Konoha, you must take protecting the Hokage as your duty. Acting so lazy is truly disgraceful!"
"Izumo, why don't you do something about him?" Kotetsu chided earnestly, sounding more like Hikari's older brother than Izumo, while Izumo himself just looked like a spectator enjoying the show.
"Sigh, I wish I could..." Izumo sighed, looking at his sloth-like younger brother with a helpless expression.
"Hikari, if you keep being this lazy, no girl will ever like you!"
