Chapter 81: The Hokage’s Unsolved Mystery—Tsunade’s Debts?
In the barbecue restaurant, slices of marinated beef sizzled over glowing red charcoal, glistening with oil and filling the air with an irresistible aroma that teased the taste buds.
Tsunade was devouring the food with gusto while Kamizuki Hikari glanced at the growing stack of empty plates beside her. Calculating the cost in his head, he shed bitter tears.
This was money he had earned word by word!
This heartless woman—treating him like this.
Thinking of his once-substantial savings, now about to lose another day’s worth of interest, Hikari felt a sharp pain in his heart.
[Guess I’ll have to take up Kakashi’s suggestion and release a new book soon to ease my financial crisis.]
[Izumo’s getting married, and I can’t be too stingy with the gift. Just thinking about money leaving my hands... my heart feels so cold.]
"Stop whining!"
Tsunade, slightly drunk, couldn’t tell whether Hikari had spoken aloud or if his thoughts had echoed in her mind.
"I wasn’t whining!" Hikari muttered, shooting an annoyed glance at Tsunade, who was happily eating and drinking without a care. This woman... unbelievable.
"If I say you were whining, then you were whining, got it?!" Tsunade declared imperiously, then shoved her plate forward. "Grill me some more meat!"
