"Vomit."
The drunk Matsushita vomited, as he had been carried around, his body bobbing up and down like a roller coaster.
Karot, afraid of getting vomited on, simply tossed the Matsushita aside—yes, tossed it.
"Bang!"
Ouch.
When it fell to the ground, Matsushita shouted out.
"Teacher, are you alright?"
Karot only went over to ask with concern after Matsushita woke up and sat up.
"I would have been better off if no one had thrown me out."
Matsushita looked at Karot's insincere greeting and said sarcastically.
"I only woke you up because I was afraid you'd throw up on yourself! I'm only doing this for your own good!"
Karot ignored Matsushita's sarcasm, thinking, "As long as I'm thick-skinned enough, you can't argue with me."
"Teacher, are you feeling better now? Please get up and move away from the cold ground."
Kazumi saw the master and apprentice staring at each other, like children who had never grown up. She went back to help Matsushita up, but Matsushita was drunk, and Kazumi alone was not enough. Karot, being perceptive, put Matsushita's arm on his shoulder.
Under the streetlights, the three of them slowly walked towards Matsushita's house.
"Karot, I didn't expect you to be such a connoisseur of alcohol!"
Matsushita wasn't discouraged at all that he lost to his student in drinking. After all, what he lost to Karot was all too true, and with drinking ability as another factor, it wasn't hard to accept. His student was good in every way, except for his personal issues, which were a real headache.
"There's nothing I can do, I'm just that outstanding."
Karot always accepts praise from others after a match.
"Teacher, won't your wife be angry if you go home drunk?"
Karot vividly remembers what Sanada just went through!
"At home, if I say go east, your teacher's wife won't dare go west; if I say catch the dog, your teacher's wife won't dare catch the chicken. I'm the head of the household, you can completely trust me."
Seeing Matsushita's confident demeanor and lack of any sign of panic, Karot believed him.
"It seems the Sanada's situation is just an isolated case."
Kazumi watched her teacher continue to boast to Karot, but didn't expose him. As Kazumi was extremely aware of her teacher's position in the family. She was completely contradicting what her teacher said.
"One of them dares to speak, and the other dares to believe!"
"Really? Honey?"
Although it was just four simple words, Matsushita felt himself enveloped in a chilling aura.
"Honey, you're here!"
Matsushita slowly turned his head and saw his wife walking towards him with a smile.
"Hello, Madam." x2
Karot and Kazumi quickly greeted them.
"Hello everyone! Karot, it's been a long time!"
"Teacher's wife, it's been a long time! You've become more and more beautiful."
"Really? I think so too, but some people just don't have that perspective."
When he finished speaking, he glanced at Matsushita. This made Matsushita was about to say something nice, swallow his words.
"It just shows they lack vision and can't appreciate the beauty in the world."
The teacher's wife was very pleased with Karot's compliments; she couldn't believe that the little boy from before had grown up so much.
"Madam, now that you're here, I'll entrust my teacher to you."
"Yes, you should go home too! It's getting late."
"Goodbye, teacher and teacher's wife." X2
"Goodbye."
Matsushita didn't want Karot and Kazumi to leave so soon. Once they were gone, he couldn't withstand the pressure of being the head of the family all by himself!
"Card..."
Just as Matsushita was about to call Karot to a stop, his wife said in a sinister tone.
"Honey, what are you planning to do?"
"It's nothing, I just felt a little numb in my arm, so I stretched it out a bit."
After saying that, he started spinning his hands in circles.
"What did I tell you? I told you to drink less, drink less! Did you just ignore me? And you're drunk."
Getting angrier as he talked, he grabbed Matsushita's ear.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, honey, be gentle! My ear's about to fall off!"
It's too late.
After saying that, he pulled Matsushita into the house.
Kneel down.
"Bang!"
Then there was no more sound.
Of course, Karot wouldn't know any of this, and Matsushita wouldn't tell Karot that he was afraid of his wife. After all, as a teacher, he still had to save face in front of his students, so he would keep it a secret for as long as possible.
"Karot, this seems to be the first time we've ever taken a walk together!"
Kazumi looked at Karot's profile and said.
"Yeah?"
Karot thought for a moment and then spoke.
"That's really true."
In the past, it was always their small team together.
"Now that Sanada is married, he spends most of his time with his wife."
Kazumi sensed a hint of regret in Karot's words.
"However, I am very happy for Sanada that he has found happiness."
In an instant, Karot Sanada again.
"That's all thanks to you! Without you, Sanada and I might not have made it off the battlefield."
"How can you say that! We're teammates, of course I have a duty to protect you."
Karot said this with absolute certainty.
"So, do you have any plans to get married?"
Kazumi finally asked the question that concerned her most.
"Kazumi, why have you become so gossipy?"
Karot was really getting fed up. People kept asking him about this issue. Wasn't being single a good thing? Wasn't being unmarried appealing?
"I don't know, it's too much trouble. But right now, my father and I are both trying to find a wife for Kakashi."
"Ah, are you sure?"
This was the first time Kazumi had ever heard anyone describe marriage in this way.
"Of course! Wouldn't it feel crowded if someone else suddenly joined your life, which was originally just one person's?"
Karot used his wit to describe his understanding of marriage.
At this moment, Kazumi wished she could split open Karot's brain with a knife to see what was inside.
Just as Kazumi was about to change Karot's mindset.
Karot spoke up.
"We've arrived at your house, Kazumi."
Kazumi realized it was true; when she was with Karot, she hated how fast time flew by.
"Karot, thank you for bringing me back."
Kazumi thanked her.
"It's nothing, it's not safe for a girl to walk alone at night. Now that you're home, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Karot turned and walked away. Kazumi suddenly shouted.
"Karot."
Karot stopped and turned to look at Kazumi.
"How about we go out for food together tomorrow?"
"OK!"
Karot smirked and said, "Eating with more people makes the food taste better."
