"Qingwu."
Uchiha Hikari said firmly, "Even if I run into those bad guys like the Masked Man and that black sludge again, I won't be afraid anymore,
because you're here.
From now on, if anyone dares oppose you or hurt you,
I'll kill them all."
As Uchiha Hikari spoke, fierce killing intent erupted from her scarlet eyes. Her feelings were—
so sincere, so passionate, so utterly reckless.
"Heh~"
Qingwu turned to look at her, delighted. Moonlight fell into her eyes, shining so brightly it seemed flowers might bloom there. "I know."
He held her hand, the warmth of his palm soothing and steady. "I feel the same way. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."
"Mm-hmm." Uchiha Hikari nodded obediently, happiness spreading across her face, because this was Qingwu's promise to her.
Qingwu stroked her head and said gently, "But leave the fighting to us men. From now on, just enjoy your life and do what you like, okay?"
Xiaoguang nodded like an adorably innocent little hamster. "Mm-hmm, okay. I'll be good. With Qingwu here, I'm not afraid of anything." Inwardly, though, she thought, If anyone bullies Qingwu, I'll kill them.
If the Ninja World's major ninja villages and nobles knew what Uchiha Hikari was thinking, they would probably cry...
Boo-hoo~ Heaven have mercy.
Bully him?!!
You've got to be kidding.
Who would dare? Who wouldn't be terrified of that killing machine coming to their doorstep?
He destroys half a village at the drop of a hat.
Who could take that?
Qingwu held her hand. "Then shall we go home?!"
"Okay." Xiaoguang agreed without hesitation, but inside, she felt excited and shy. Go home with Qingwu?! Am I going to meet his family? Will they like me?! I~
Qingwu reassured her, "It's all right. You've got me."
