Gekkō Raito froze on the spot. What little girlfriend?
Wasn't this misunderstanding a bit too big?
If gossip like this got out, how was he supposed to get by in Kirigakure?
Tsunade entered the hospital room to examine Ameyuri. Gekkō Raito stood at the door, watching her skillfully operate the equipment. She did not even flinch when she came into contact with blood samples, and the weight on his heart finally lifted.

She even needed surgery. This illness really was tricky.
*But as long as Tsunade
