When Shin came out of Tsunade's bedroom, he saw Shizune sitting in the living room, apparently waiting for him.
Because Shin had blocked out the sounds from inside, Shizune had not heard any commotion. The moment she saw him emerge, she immediately stood and approached him.
"Your Majesty." She bowed respectfully.
"Mm."
Shin responded casually and then moved to leave.
"Your Majesty." Shizune hurriedly called out again, stopping him.
"What is it?"
"It's... about Lady Tsunade." She hesitated before speaking.
"Is Lady Tsunade from this side all right?"
Seeing the worry written all over Shizune's face, Shin kindly patted her shoulder.
"Don't worry, she's fine. Once the two Tsunades switch back again, this Tsunade will feel as though she merely took a nap."
Only after hearing Shin say it himself did Shizune finally put her mind completely at ease, a smile appearing on her face.
"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. Tsunade is exhausted too, so don't go in and disturb her."
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
Inside the bedroom.
Tsunade was slumped on the floor. Her clothes were intact, and Shin had not truly violated her just now, but he had done something that made her feel even worse.
Before leaving, he had told her that she could stay in this world if she wished, but the price was that she might be violated by him anytime, anywhere.
Tsunade no longer wanted to stay. At this moment, she felt as though she had had a nightmare, hoping only that she would return to her original world once she opened her eyes. Shizune would complain about her drinking again, while back in the village, that brat Naruto would noisily call her Granny Tsunade...
But reality was not a dream.
What was she supposed to do
