Nice Feel!

In his previous life, Hikaru had envied those who drove sports cars, but riding the Nine-Tails at full speed was far more exhilarating than driving one, even though he had never driven a sports car.

What was a sports car worth? Could it possibly be cooler than my Nine-Tails?!!

How fast could your sports car even go? Once the Nine-Tails picked up speed, it was enough to leave those so-called sports cars eating dust!!!

"Girl, come here. Why are you hiding from me?!"

Sitting on the Nine-Tails' back, Hikaru noticed Kushina's somewhat evasive gaze and smiled as he beckoned to her.

"She's like that because... mmm~~~"

"Don't you dare say it!!!"

Mikoto Uchiha gave a mischievous smile and was about to spill the secret, but before she could finish, Kushina covered her mouth. Kushina's little face turned as red as her hair as she anxiously kept Mikoto Uchiha's mouth shut, giving Hikaru two awkward dry laughs.

"Pfft~~~~" Hikaru burst out laughing, while Mikoto Uchiha rolled her eyes in exasperation and irritably pulled Kushina's hand away.

"What did you do, talk bad about me?!"

"N-No." Mikoto Uchiha's earlier words still echoed in Kushina's mind, making her act awkwardly around Hikaru. She had lost her usual composure and instead seemed shy and fidgety.

Hikaru smiled and asked, "You used to cling to me when you were little. Why do you want to stay away from me now that you've grown up?!!"

It was no surprise that Kushina had clung to Hikaru as a child. Being with him gave her the greatest sense of security, and that had to do with what she had experienced. But girls eventually grew up, changing from little girls into young women, and then from young women into women. That was simply how things changed.

"No, absolutely not!!!"
