The system was clearly displeased with Samui's blatant distraction. It gave a fake cough to remind her of its presence.
But Samui clearly wasn't going to play along. She rolled her eyes and said, "You don't even have a body. What are you pretending to cough for?"
The system clearly wasn't used to Samui's merciless retorts. "I won't stoop to your level. Congratulations on completing your mission and unlocking the next stage!"
Although Samui wanted to say more, the system clearly had no intention of giving her the chance. "Your next mission is to bring Uchiha Yin a meal! Time limit: twelve hours!"
The moment Samui heard "twelve hours," she bristled, displeasure written all over her face. Kaguya would certainly still be with Uchiha Yin within that time. Wouldn't bringing him a meal mean doing it right in front of Kaguya?
"No! The mission's time limit is too short!"
After thinking it over, Samui immediately protested.
At those words, the system replied in a cheerful tone dripping with vindictive satisfaction, "But you don't have the right to refuse!"
With that, it fell silent, ignoring Samui's calls.
Samui called out for a while. Once she was certain the system wasn't coming back, she could only give up. "Petty little tyrant!" she muttered bitterly.
Then she stopped lingering and headed toward the Hokage Office.
As soon as she entered, she saw Uchiha Yin standing beside Kaguya, gently twirling Kaguya's hair with one hand while gazing intently out the window.
Compared with the hostility Kaguya had shown toward her earlier, her expression was much softer now. She leaned lightly against Uchiha Yin's arm, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the view outside.
Kaguya gave no indication that she had noticed Samui enter. She didn't even shift her gaze.
Uchiha Yin, however, nodded to Samui
