"Not bad, not bad. Big bro finally sorted out his single life!"

Beside him, Shikamaru glanced back at Hikari, his eyes filled with undisguised disdain.

’Old man, you’re not young either. Shouldn’t you be thinking about settling down by now? If I were your age and still unmarried, I’d be too ashamed to show my face.’

Sensing the hostility emanating from Shikamaru, Hikari turned to him. "Can’t you put in a little effort? Look at Chōji and Ino, then look at yourself. Don’t you feel any shame?"

’An old, single guy like you has no right to lecture me!’

"Ow! Hikari-senpai, why’d you hit me?"

"I sensed the malice coming from you!" Hikari declared with absolute certainty, making Shikamaru want to cry.
