He was glared at by that scorching gaze.
Hyuga Mami blinked and gathered her courage... or rather, faced the reality of everything.
She opened those eyes of hers, whose purity was rare even among the Hyuga Clan.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
She gave off an ethereal yet lovable feeling.
"The moment I returned, I saw the Young Lady practicing the Gentle Fist Style... I'm deeply relieved. I was also worried about the Young Lady while carrying out my mission outside... Although I encountered tremendous danger this time, fortunately, I managed to return unharmed..."

After hearing Hyuga Sho's words, Hyuga Mami had no idea what he was trying to say.
"While I was out on this mission... I encountered extremely vicious enemies. Their methods were truly terrifying. Fortunately, I gained experience fighting them this time. I plan to simulate an encounter between enemies and allies so the Young Lady can learn from it. That way, if you encounter them in the future, you won't panic..."
"Hyuga Sho..."
Hyuga Mami did not finish speaking.
She only saw Hyuga Sho staring at her with eyes as sharp as torches.

Hyuga Sho said, "Young Lady, the crisis I encountered was insignificant. Right now, the most important thing is to pass on my experience fighting enemies to you..."

Hyuga Sho reached out and took out a scroll.

"I wonder if the Young Lady still remembers the E-Rank 'Rope Escape Technique' taught by Teacher Funano Daihoku at the Ninja Academy. I'm worried that the Young Lady might be kidnapped by enemies, so even an E-Rank Ninjutsu must be practiced properly..."
"Hyuga Sho, I..."
"What? Could it be that the Young Lady is unwilling?"
Hyuga Sho retorted.
"..."
