Gekko Mansion.
After getting up early, Hanfu brushed his teeth, washed his face, took a dump, wiped his butt, and then leisurely made his way to the living room for breakfast.
"Morning, big bro." Hayate lounged at the dining table, his right shoulder in a cast. Resting his chin on his left hand, he opened and closed his mouth while a purple-haired beauty fed him.
The sight was a little too much for Hanfu. He narrowed his eyes in disgust. "Hayate, you've fallen so low! You're not the young man I used to know!"
"Can't help it. My bones haven't healed yet." Hayate shrugged, but his injured right shoulder got jostled. He immediately grimaced in pain, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Serves you right... Hanfu, the master actor, put on a worried expression. "Are you okay, Hayate?"
"I-I'm fine." Hayate sucked in a breath through his teeth as he spoke.
Uzuki Yugao set down the Seaweed Rice Ball in her hand, concerned. Unfortunately, she wasn't a Medical Ninja, so all she could do was sit beside him and fret.
This living room is way too hostile to me... Hanfu sighed, picked up a stack of rice balls and a bowl of miso soup, and left the living room. After a few turns, he reached the backyard, found a Stone Table, and sat down. Then he took out a Crystal Ball and placed it on the table.
Telescope Technique!
Hanfu formed Hand Seals and brushed his hand across the Crystal Ball. A hazy image slowly appeared inside it.
Hanfu happily watched the Crystal Ball while eating rice balls and drinking miso soup.
Inside the Crystal Ball, Mei Terumi was sleeping lazily on the Tatami. She'd kicked the light blanket aside in her sleep, exposing a broad expanse of snowy-white skin.
