"Then why did you say you didn't know her just now, and even show such a hateful expression?"
Kenji couldn't help but ask.
"Wasn't I just trying to vent your anger, that's why I did that on purpose. You have to know that I, Terumi, have always been kind to people, and am known as the school's great philanthropist."
Although Terumi's second half of the sentence was purely bragging, her attitude towards Ringo just now was inevitably related to Kenji.
Thinking of this, a gentle expression couldn't help but appear on Kenji's face.
"Thank you. If no one wants you in the future, come find me."
Hearing this, a disgusted expression immediately appeared on Terumi's face.
"Hmph, is this what they call repaying kindness with enmity? With my looks, will I be afraid of not finding a man in the future? You should worry about yourself, Uncle. Don't be a toad trying to eat swan meat here."
"You misunderstood. What I meant was, if you become a lonely old woman in the future, I can let my son help you take care of you in your old age."
Terumi's face changed as quickly as a magician, turning green and white.
After taking several deep breaths, Terumi finally suppressed the impulse to splash all the coffee in front of her on Kenji's face.
As a gift of apology, Kenji ordered a few extra small cakes for Terumi.
However, although Terumi ate all the small cakes, she didn't mean to forgive Kenji at all.
...
In the evening, after eating dinner, Kenji was strolling alone by the small river not far from the inn.
Just as he was taking easy steps, enjoying the evening breeze, an angry voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Hey, you damn bastard, stop right there!"
Kenji turned around and saw a figure rushing towards him at a very fast speed.
It was Ringo.
Before long, Ringo came to Kenji, then looked around.
"Where's that Terumi? Hurry up and let her out. I'm going to let her know why flowers are so red."
However, Ringo was going to be disappointed this time, because Terumi was still sulking, so she naturally wouldn't be by Kenji's side.
After searching for a while without success, Ringo reached out and grabbed Kenji's clothes, asking fiercely:
"I'm asking you, where's Terumi?"
Actually, Ringo originally wanted to make a more deterrent action.
However, clearly, her height didn't support doing that.
Compared to Terumi, Ringo was indeed a little shorter.
The two standing together looked as if they were several years apart, and didn't seem like they were the same age at all.
And Terumi's situation was the complete opposite of Ringo's. Not only was she tall when she grew up, but even at this time, her height was one of the best among her peers.
Getting back to the main topic, facing Ringo's inquiry, Kenji revealed an innocent expression.
"How would I know where Terumi is? I'm not her."
Seeing that the expression on Kenji's face didn't seem fake, Ringo had to let go of his clothes, then said:
"Alright, but if you meet Terumi, remember to tell her that I definitely won't lose to her next time."
Looking at Ringo's serious appearance, Kenji felt that her chances were very slim.
Although Ringo was a genius, there was no doubt that Terumi's talent was higher than hers.
You had to know that Terumi was from a commoner background, but she had developed two bloodline limits later on.
This kind of talent could be considered outstanding in the entire ninja world. It wouldn't be easy for Ameyuri to surpass her.
Looking at the expression on Kenji's face, Ringo hated so much that she wanted to grind her back teeth to pieces.
"Do you not believe me, you guy? What's so good about that Terumi? Come be my underling. I guarantee you'll have a good life."
Ringo patted her chest, which was even flatter than Terumi's, promising Kenji.
In Ringo's view, Terumi undoubtedly valued Kenji very much.
Otherwise, Terumi wouldn't have been so nervous when she used ninjutsu on Kenji in the afternoon.
If she could snatch Kenji over, wouldn't that prove that her charm was much higher than Terumi's?
Thinking of this, a weasel-stealing-chicken-like smile immediately appeared on Ringo's face.
Ringo reached out and patted Kenji's thigh, continuing to sweeten the deal:
"I'll double everything Terumi gives you. How about it, do you want to consider it carefully?"
Kenji naturally saw through Ringo's little plan at once, so he reached out and gestured on Ringo's head, laughing out loud.
Although Kenji didn't say anything, Ringo felt greatly insulted.
Ringo had two sore spots, one was her height, and the other was the nickname Little Apple.
Before this, anyone who had touched either of these two sore spots had suffered a heavy blow from Ringo.
And Kenji was also the only person who had touched both sore spots at the same time. With new and old hatreds mixed together, Ringo shouted.
"Die, Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"
Anger could indeed improve a person's combat power. At this time, Ringo's hand seal speed was actually much faster than it had been in the afternoon.
However, Kenji didn't intend to sit still and wait for death this time.
Kenji's figure moved, and he came in front of Ringo, then reached out and tapped her neck.
With Kenji's finger movement, the chakra in Ringo's body suddenly became chaotic.
And her ninjutsu naturally failed to be cast.
This move was inspired by the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist, except the Hyuga clan had to rely on the Byakugan to see through the human body's meridians and then perform the Gentle Fist.
And Kenji relied on his familiarity with the human body to perform it. After all, so many years of medical experience hadn't been for nothing.
Ringo widened her eyes, looking at Kenji with a panicked expression, questioning:
"What did you do to me?"
To this, Kenji only put his hands behind his back, revealing the appearance of a transcendent master, answering lightly:
"It's nothing, I just slightly interfered with the chakra in your body. After all, I'm just a writer with no strength to truss a chicken. How would I dare to walk in such a dangerous ninja world without any self-defense skills?"
