"Ah, haha, it's enough for me to finish reading these on behalf of Mizukage-sama. I'm not the Mizukage." Ringo Ameyuri laughed awkwardly, trying to muddle through by acting cute.
Moreover, she said that last sentence especially quietly.
"Creak."
"Again with the Mizukage!"
Soji clenched his fist and muttered through gritted teeth.
"Gulp."
Seeing Soji's movement, Ringo Ameyuri subconsciously swallowed.
She had a feeling that Mizukage-sama would rush over the next moment and give her a hard knock on the head.
If that happened, should she cry?
Better cry!
That way, Mizukage-sama might soften up afterward and decide not to hit her!
As her thoughts raced, Ringo Ameyuri had already closed her eyes and covered her head with both hands, tears beginning to gather in her eyes.
Soji: "..."
Seeing Ringo Ameyuri suddenly become so timid, Soji did not know whether to laugh or cry.
No matter what, he would not actually hit someone, would he?
Besides, unless they were enemies, Soji's principle was that he did not hit women.
"My 'adorable' junior, I wasn't planning to hit you. Don't act like I've bullied you!" The vein on Soji's forehead throbbed.
Taking a deep breath, Soji repeatedly told himself not to get angry.
Although Ringo Ameyuri was a little too good at setting people up, now that it was done, he needed to be magnanimous!
"Mm, really?" Hearing Soji say that, Ringo Ameyuri still asked uncertainly.
"If you keep this up, I really will want to hit you!" Soji felt that Ringo Ameyuri was challenging his limits.
Honestly, if Ringo Ameyuri had been replaced by his buddy Uchiha Homura, Soji guaranteed that he would have beaten the other man into a pig's head long ago!
"Whew, that's good, Mizukage-sama. Actually, there was a reason I didn't tell you all this beforehand.
