Hyuga Kazuya suddenly understood.
"Ah, I get it, I get it. But... who should I give 'that' to?"
Hyuga Kazuya was actually somewhat unsure. Was the money meant for the female doctor in front of him?
Or was it really for Tsunade?
Of course, there was an issue with that line of thought too. Tsunade probably did not lack money; paying like this would merely increase his chances of success.
"Definitely give it to Lord Tsunade!"
Phew!
Hyuga Kazuya let out a sigh of relief. Paying was no big deal. He was only afraid that he would pay up and still fail to get things done. Failing to get things done was not a big deal either; what he feared was someone failing to get things done, not telling him, and stringing him along.
But handing it directly to Tsunade was different. Success or failure, he would at least hear the news immediately.
If it succeeded, that would naturally be wonderful. If it failed, he could look for another way.
"Alright, alright. Thank you, Doctor Mikawa."
"It's nothing. I wish you success. You can have this thing back."
As she spoke, Mikawa Ryoko returned the slip of paper on which she had written Hyuga Kazuya's home address.
"Why?" He scratched his head, somewhat unable to understand what Mikawa Ryoko meant.
"I originally planned to visit your home in a few days, speak with your family, and find out who hurt you like this."
"But now, you might become fellow disciples in the future. With Lord Tsunade backing you, who would dare bully you in Konoha?"
Hyuga Kazuya broke out in a cold sweat!
So she had never believed him in the first place. She had always assumed he had been bullied into this state.
"I really wasn't bullied!"
