Chapter 118: Yūhi Kurenai
Sunlight, a gentle breeze, tree shade, and a beautiful woman.
It should have been a blissful afternoon, but ever since this beauty appeared before him, Kamizuki Hikari felt that his leisurely time had come to an abrupt end.
Her slightly curled long hair, crimson eyes, and unique outfit—red as the base with white stripes, appearing separate yet actually one piece—made her resemble a snow lotus blooming atop a high mountain, exuding a delicate fragrance that made it hard to look away.
’Seriously, what was Asuma thinking?’
’Leaving such a beautiful woman unattended and wandering around outside—isn’t he afraid someone else might steal her away?’
Thinking this to himself, Hikari climbed down from his hammock and greeted her with a wave.
"Good afternoon, Kurenai-sensei!"
Yūhi Kurenai glanced at the Ino-Shika-Chō trio training hard in the distance, then back at Hikari, who had just gotten off his hammock. Only one thought crossed her mind:
’This guy is definitely unreliable.’
Still, since she was already here, she couldn’t just leave empty-handed.
"Good afternoon." Kurenai nodded slightly, her manners impeccable.
"No need to be so formal. You can just call me Kurenai, and I’ll call you Hikari. Is that alright?"
