"Yes, I understand."
Facing Hada Ryuhiko's tearful collapse and his expression of "Why is even Teacher Heyin saying that?", Hada Ichiba nodded without the slightest hesitation and spoke directly to the beautiful woman before him—Hada Kazune.
"Mm."
In response, Hada Kazune gave everyone present a look that said, "Try making a fuss again," then turned and entered the inner room.
Something happened? Now...?
Watching Hada Kazune turn back into the room, Hada Ichiba frowned slightly and followed after her. A rather pessimistic thought flashed through his mind.
Judging from their earlier trip to the hospital, Kazune's plan should have gone quite smoothly. They might even have gained more than expected.
Originally, they should have been announcing good news to everyone, avoiding unforeseen complications caused by Ryuhiko or anyone else making wild guesses.
Considering the complexity of these Chunin Exams, even though Kazune made it sound as though nothing major had happened, this matter was probably quite troublesome.
At that moment, even Hada Ichiba felt a heaviness settle in his heart.
At a time like this, it was better for nothing to happen. If something did happen, it definitely would not be easy to resolve.
"Waaah! Waaah! Waaaaaah!"
At that moment, Hada Ryuhiko, like everyone else, had his eyes fixed on the two people returning to the inner room. He seemed to suddenly remember something and began shouting.
"Hehehehe!"
However, neither Kazune nor Hada Ichiba reacted. Instead, Hada Anna beside him started giggling.
"Ryuhiko, no one wants to put you down yet. Play a little longer."
Then came those innocent words, as though they had smashed straight into Hada Ryuhiko's heart.
And once again, Hada Ryuhiko burst into tears.
Click!
Several minutes later, the door closed softly. In the previously empty room, the two of them took their seats.
Tap.
