Shizune froze for a moment and asked, "What?"
Tsunade got out of bed, walked up to Shizune, and immediately reached out to feel her face.
"Lady Tsunade?" Shizune did not resist, though she found Tsunade's behavior strange.
"Strange... really strange..." Tsunade murmured softly.
Shizune had suddenly become much younger, and even the furnishings in the house seemed somewhat different.
She went into the bathroom, looked at herself in the mirror without seeing any noticeable changes, and touched her face.
"Did I drink too much last night and not wake up properly..." she muttered.
"You didn't drink last night," Shizune suddenly said from beside her.
Tsunade abruptly turned to stare at Shizune, startling her.
"You... really didn't drink last night."
"..."
Tsunade noticed the calendar in the living room again, hurried over, and picked it up.
"Shizune."
"Mm?"
"You... how old are you this year?"
"...Eighteen."
"What about me?"
"Huh?"
"...Didn't you tell me not to mention your age?"
Tsunade swallowed, then asked, "Am I forty this year?"
Shizune grew cautious. "Forty... forty-something."
She wondered what had gotten into Lady Tsunade today. Had she suddenly realized she was no longer young and suffered such overwhelming mental stress that she had gone a little crazy?
Tsunade flopped onto the sofa, covering her face with both hands as she muttered things like "time reversal."
"Lady Tsunade?" Shizune walked over.
But Tsunade suddenly raised her head again, grabbed Shizune in front of her with both hands, and wore an excited expression.
"Shizune!"
"Ah?" Shizune jumped at Tsunade's erratic behavior.
"I have something to tell you, something earth-shattering. Don't be scared."
"...What is it?"
Shizune felt that even if Tsunade told her she was eighteen, she would not be surprised.
Tsunade widened her eyes, her face brimming with excitement.
"I came from the future!"
Shizune:
