Regarding Ringo's "explanation," Kenji only smiled, not teasing her too much.
After a moment of silence, Ringo suddenly stood up, looking at Kenji.
"Hey, are you hungry?"
Although Kenji had already eaten dinner before, it wouldn't be bad to eat another meal.
Moreover, he was also curious about Ringo's cooking skills.
So, Kenji nodded, responding:
"Now that you mention it, I am a little hungry. Thank you for the trouble."
"Hmph, I'm just asking. Who said I was going to treat you to a meal?"
Ringo responded with a sharp tongue, then took out two fish from a water basin in the corner.
Afterwards, she picked up a small stool, barely allowing herself to operate on the countertop.
Ringo picked up a kitchen knife, performed a cool knife flourish, then chopped off the heads of the two still-wriggling fish.
Immediately afterwards, a rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables began.
Judging from Ringo's skilled knife work, her cooking skills were definitely not bad.
As Kenji had expected, this dinner was above average.
It couldn't be seen, but Ringo actually had some of the qualities of becoming a virtuous wife and loving mother.
After eating, Kenji planned to say goodbye.
Just as he stood up and was about to speak, a white light suddenly broke in from outside the window.
Before long, a dull rumble of thunder echoed throughout Kirigakure.
Ringo's movements were very swift. The moment the lightning flashed, she quickly rushed outside, bringing all the clothes back in.
Just as Ringo entered the house, a heavy downpour followed.
"That was close. These clothes almost got rained on for nothing."
Ringo reached out and stroked the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, looking at the heavy rain outside with lingering fear.
Just then, the electric lights in the house suddenly flickered a few times, then went out with a "whoosh" sound.
Immediately afterwards, a rustling sound rang out.
After a moment, a warm yellow candlelight pierced through the boundless darkness.
Ringo held the candlestick, looking at Kenji, who was shrouded in shadow.
"The electricity supply here has always been a problem. It always goes out when it rains."
Kenji suddenly thought of a somewhat special question.
"If the power goes out here often, wouldn't the things in the refrigerator spoil easily?"
"It's okay. I only put drinks in the refrigerator. They'll slowly get cold again when the power comes back on."
This answer was pretty good. In his previous life, Kenji's refrigerator was also only used to store drinks and ice cream.
This couldn't help but make him feel a sense of kinship with Ringo in front of him.
However, it was getting late now. As a "sensible" person, Kenji naturally wouldn't stay at Ringo's house.
At worst, he would walk a little and then directly use the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the inn.
Anyway, he had already left a Flying Thunder God seal in his room.
"It's getting late. I should go back first. Do you have an umbrella here?"
Ringo stood up, took out an umbrella from the corner, and handed it to Kenji.
"Then be careful on your way back, and stay safe."
Kenji nodded, took the umbrella, then walked into the dark, rainy night.
After walking for about three minutes, Kenji looked around and found that there was no one else around.
He immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique, returning to the inn.
The room was still pitch black. It seemed that it wasn't just Ringo's neighborhood that had lost power, but the entire Kirigakure had lost power.
It had to be said that Kirigakure's infrastructure was much worse than Konoha's.
After groping his way into the bathroom, Kenji took a simple shower.
Then, he wrapped a towel around his waist and came out.
Immediately afterwards, Kenji took out a flashlight and turned it on.
Only then did he discover that there was actually another person in his room.
Kenji reached out and heavily patted his forehead. He had really been slacking off a lot recently.
He hadn't even noticed it at the first moment. If an enemy wanted to attack, they would probably have succeeded.
Although Kenji hadn't encountered any danger in Kirigakure, this was still "enemy territory." Being so lax was a bit unreasonable.
After some self-reflection, Kenji looked at his bed.
There was an uninvited guest on the bed, who was currently sleeping soundly.
Looking at Terumi's peaceful sleeping face, he walked to the bed, raising his right hand.
Without any hesitation, he patted her round butt a few times.
After a few "smack, smack" sounds, Terumi suddenly opened her eyes.
Her body was as if it was equipped with a spring, and she jumped up all of a sudden.
Terumi bent her legs, leaning her back against the corner of the wall, revealing a vigilant appearance.
It wasn't until she clearly saw Kenji's face that Terumi's tense body slowly relaxed.
"Uncle, what are you doing? Don't you know that a lady can't be disturbed when she's sleeping?"
"Lady? There's no lady here. I only saw a big lazy pig occupying my bed. How did you get here? Did you break in through the window again?"
"This inn is owned by my family. Of course, I can be wherever I want to be. Hmm? Uncle, you actually have abs. You're in pretty good shape."
Terumi made a shocked sound, reaching out her small hand and stroking Kenji's abs.
Looking at the somewhat lewd expression on Terumi's face, Kenji only felt a chill.
How could someone in this world combine cuteness and sleaziness?
Feeling that he was being taken advantage of, Kenji quickly distanced himself from Terumi.
After Kenji dodged, Terumi revealed a somewhat regretful expression.
This was the first time she had such close contact with a member of the opposite sex. Kenji's abs actually felt more comfortable than she had imagined.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about, you little brat? You're not learning well at such a young age. You're about to drool."
Kenji said, looking at Terumi with a helpless expression.
He was the Shadow of the Ninja World, an author who was known as the King of Adult Novels.
He didn't expect that he would be taken advantage of by this little girl Terumi today. He had played the eagle all his life, but in the end, the eagle pecked out his eyes.
"Tch, who cares about your junk? I was just curious because I hadn't seen it before. Even if you offered it to me now, I wouldn't touch it."
Terumi rolled her eyes, responding in an annoyed tone.
