"!"
Mikoto Uchiha's expression changed drastically.
Faced with Jueming's demand, her body began to tremble.
"What's wrong, Lady Mikoto?"
Jueming stood calmly where he was and spoke lightly.
"..."
Mikoto Uchiha's expression changed several times.
She struggled.
"Wah..."
In the end, she broke down crying, tears streaming down her face, looking utterly pitiable.

Jueming merely remained cold and indifferent...
"Hurry up and start. This is your last chance."
Having said that, Jueming waited for Mikoto Uchiha to act...
Half an hour later...
Uchiha Clan streets.
Fugaku Uchiha walked down the street with a grave expression.
No one had seen the Slug Sage today.
The patrolmen reported that they had found nothing either.

"Bleurgh!"

Fugaku Uchiha pushed open the front door and entered.

His wife finally opened the kitchen door and walked out.
Covering her mouth, she took a deep breath, lowered her head, and slowly approached.

Fugaku Uchiha looked at her.

In the living room, the meal would ordinarily have already been laid out by this time.
But now, there was nothing on the table.
"Dear, I'm sorry..."
Mikoto Uchiha hurriedly apologized, lowering her head even further.
Her voice trembled slightly as well.
