"Alright, Village Chief, please give us a little more time. We only need a bit of time to settle this matter." Uchiha Hikaru called out to him, but the Village Chief did not seem grateful in the slightest.
There seemed to be no room for negotiation in this matter. Uchiha Hikaru could only stand there blankly, staring ahead, as though there was no conflict at all.
"Impossible, impossible. Uchiha Hikaru, leave at once. The nights here are very dangerous. I hope you do not have to experience them." Facing forward, the Village Chief hurriedly urged them to leave.
With both hands, he pushed the Second Prince with one and Uchiha Hikaru with the other. He looked exactly as though he were driving them away, though they had no idea what frightening things might happen here.
"Please go back, Uchiha Hikaru and Second Prince. We truly cannot accommodate you here at night, so I hope you can forgive us." The Village Chief shook his head and shut the door, leaving Uchiha Hikaru no chance to reply.
"What do we do now? This Village Chief has clearly issued an order to leave. That does not seem like a good thing for us." Uchiha Hikaru slowly shook his head and looked at the Second Prince beside him.
"How about this, Uchiha Hikaru? Why don't we sneak over before nightfall and climb over the wall into the village?" The Second Prince came up with a terrible idea. Who would have thought his mind held so many schemes, and that he would not be swayed by others?
"That definitely won't do, Second Prince. If we're discovered, do you want your brother to lose face as well?" His thinking was not particularly thorough. Still, at times, he was a little too eager for quick success.
