Chapter 44
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than three years had passed.
It was once again graduation season.
Early in the morning, Tenten had already put on her forehead protector. With her signature double-bun hairstyle, a pink short jacket, and deep green capri pants, she looked spirited and valiant.
Perhaps due to Natsuki's frequent lightning-based training, Tenten had developed quite well.
Now at twelve years old, she stood graceful and elegant.
Natsuki gave her a look from head to toe, showing a satisfied smile. "As expected of my girlfriend—you're getting more and more beautiful!"
Tenten smiled shyly and boldly tiptoed to kiss Natsuki on the cheek. Nowadays, Natsuki was tall and handsome, and even though Tenten was a year older, she was still nearly a head shorter.
But she liked this version of Natsuki—confident, powerful, and increasingly attractive.
Still, she needed to be careful of that face-obsessed Ino.
"Well, I'm heading off! Natsuki, Dad, see you later!"
She turned and ran toward the academy, her confident, composed back radiating an effortless charm.
Over the years, Natsuki had personally guided his girlfriend into becoming such an excellent young woman. The overwhelming sense of achievement he felt couldn't even be put into words.
