Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Why are you staring at me?

Sensing Uchiha Gin's complicated gaze, Tsukihime, who was savoring a delicious daifuku, frowned and questioned him coldly.
"I just think the way you eat is cute."

Gin Uchiha, who was recalling his conversation with Tensei Hyuga, snapped out of his reverie. Looking at Tsukihime, whose cheeks were bulging like a little hamster, Gin chuckled and nodded.

cute?

Her chewing motion paused, and a hint of unease flashed in Yueji's white eyes.

In all her life, she had never heard anyone use the word "cute" to describe herself.

"Why haven't the fries arrived yet?"

Pretending to glance towards the food serving area, Tsukihime used the change of topic to ease the impending awkwardness of the red-tinged area.
"It will probably take a while, since there are so many people in the store."

Uchiha Gin glanced at the Misaki clan fans huddled together around him, shook his head, and replied,

He had just seen the mountain of orders piled up in the shop assistants' hands; it just goes to show that Zhenji's charm is considerable, remaining incredibly popular even after all this time.

"Lady Misadako has arrived!"

Suddenly, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd, and a figure, surrounded by a group of Weizhen fans, gracefully entered.

"Sadako-sama~"

"Please sign your name on my braised pork!"

The atmosphere in the store reached its peak the moment Sadako arrived.

"Just who is this Sadako Michiko?"

On the other side, after finishing the last piece of daifuku, Tsukihime looked curiously at the alluring woman who was being adored by countless die-hard fans, her eyes full of questions.
"Internet celebrity".

"what?"

Seeing the bewildered look on Tsukihime's face, Uchiha Gin immediately offered a simpler explanation.
"A new profession of begging."

"Oh, I understand now."

Tsukihime nodded as if she suddenly understood.

It turned out he was a beggar.

Is that Jeong-hime?
After all, they were old acquaintances. Uchiha Gin curiously glanced at Su Shen Zhen Ji, who had started a live stream, only to find that something seemed off about her.
Although her appearance and figure were a perfect replica, the aura emanating from this Princess was clearly very different from the one he knew.
"Hello, your fries."

Just as Uchiha Gin was wondering what was going on, a female shop assistant wearing a baseball cap appeared behind Uchiha Gin and the others carrying a large serving of fries.

"Thank you."

Unexpectedly, the fries were served much faster than anticipated. Gin Uchiha nodded without even turning his head.
"French fries!"

Meanwhile, Tsukihime, who had been waiting for a long time, was already rubbing her little hands together impatiently, looking at the golden fries with a drooling expression, ready to feast on them.
"Please~"

After placing the fries and toppings, the staff member didn't leave immediately. Instead, they observed Tsukihime, whose mouth was stuffed full of fries, with great interest.

"Why don't you leave?"

Xiao Guang frowned in confusion upon noticing that the shop assistant hadn't left yet. Just as he was about to question her further, his expression turned strange.

"Aren't you over there?"

"what happened?"

Uchiha Gin was also drawn by Hikaru's voice. He immediately pulled his gaze away from "Sadahime" in the distance and instead focused on the strange shop assistant behind him, his expression momentarily faltering.
"Jeong-hime?"

Hello~ Silver.

The shop assistant wearing a baseball cap was none other than Su Shen Zhen Ji, who was supposed to be live-streaming from afar. She was all smiles, her eyes narrowed, as she raised her hand to greet Uchiha Yin.

"And who is Zhenji?"

With her mouth full of fries, Tsukihime heard another unfamiliar name, especially one from a woman, and her expression instantly became wary.
"Let me introduce you. This is Su Shen Zhen Ji, my partner, and a professional live streamer. Her stage name is Wei Zhen Zi."

This Princess's aura is flawless, 100% pure. Uchiha Gin then introduced himself to the two women he didn't know.
"She is Tsukihime, my sister-in-law."

Partner?

Auntie?
Upon learning the other person's identity, the two women simultaneously narrowed their eyes and sized them up.
"you are not human?"

Yueji frowned slightly. Under her disdainful gaze, all demons and monsters had nowhere to hide. With just one glance, she could tell that Zhenji was not human.
"You? I don't think so."

Zhenji was no pushover either. With her extensive experience, she quickly identified Yueji's identity and immediately retorted.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing that an unexpected conflict was about to erupt between the two women who were meeting for the first time, Uchiha Gin immediately stepped in to smooth things over, pulling out a chair for Sadahime to sit down and talk.

"Jeong-hee, who's that over there?"

Pointing to "Saintess" interacting with fans in the distance, Uchiha Gin asked,
"It's Shinki. I'll have her fill in for me for a while."

So it was Princess Tashin, one of the Three Goddesses. No wonder she could imitate her so perfectly.
Uchiha Gin nodded, looking enlightened.

"Do you have something more important to do?"

Live streaming is one of Zhenji's hobbies, second only to roast chicken.

"I seem to be feeling a bit..."

Seeing the puzzled look in Uchiha Gin's eyes, Sadahime touched her cheek with a slightly sad expression, looking as if she was having trouble speaking.

"Your cheeks have widened."

"what?"

After being reminded by Saehime, Uchiha Gin realized that Saehime's figure seemed to have become even more voluptuous than when they first met, her impressive figure rivaling that of Otsutsuki Hikari, who was practically on the moon.
"To be precise, it's because I've been eating too much lately."

Reaching out, she pinched her tummy, and Zhenji pouted.
Although her career as a news anchor was short, she ate just as much, often relying on a single meal to sustain her entire life.

Under this unrestrained and irregular diet, Zhenji quickly gained weight and became a big, fat snake who could act cute.

"hehe."

"You're laughing at lemons, you'll be next soon."

While Zhenji was secretly grieving, she suddenly heard a cold laugh from the side and immediately retorted without hesitation, completely unfazed by Yueji's imposing glare.
"See these fries? They're all high in calories. Just eat them without saying a word."

Will I become a chubby girl too?

Upon hearing this, Yueji was taken aback. She glanced at Zhenji's small belly, then at her own flat stomach, and a look of disdain appeared on her face.
"Who are you lying to?"

She's been eating fries for years and hasn't gained an ounce of weight.
Of course, all the heat is concentrated on the thunder.

"believe it or not."

Looking at the confident Tsukihime, Sadahime rolled her eyes. It was impossible to persuade Dafeizhu with kind words. How could she not know what kind of raw materials her own shop used?
"Gin, what have you been busy with lately? It's been so long since you've come to see me~" Ignoring Tsukihime, Saehime stretched out her fair, slender arms and gracefully wrapped them around Uchiha Gin beside her. As she spoke, her alluring face, pressed close to his, was filled with a faint hint of resentment.
"I've had a lot of social engagements lately."

Feeling the contrasting gazes from Hikari and Tsukihime, Uchiha Gin solemnly pushed away the arms wrapped around his neck and explained,

"I see, okay~"

Even after being pushed away, Zhenji wasn't angry. After all, she was definitely Uchiha Gin's longest-serving partner, so she wasn't worried about any opponents.
"I'm leaving first."

As the store became increasingly crowded, to avoid being recognized by fans, Zhenji gave Uchiha Gin a flirtatious wink from afar before leaving.

"Hmph! Vulgar!"

Princess Zhen's explicit behavior quickly aroused Princess Yue's displeasure.
She decided that when she got back, she would buy a phone, register for Douyin (TikTok), and become Zhenji's number one hater.
"Why aren't you angry?"

But soon, Hikaru's overly calm demeanor piqued Tsukihime's curiosity.

Logically, Xiaoguang should have been more excited than her.
"Do you get angry with your pet?"

Hikari looked at Tsukihime with a puzzled expression. She knew that Sadahime's true form was a giant serpent from Ryuchi Cave, so from the beginning, she hadn't taken this snake spirit in human form seriously.

She believed that Uchiha Gin was a man with principles who wouldn't let his personal life control him and cause him to do things that violated ethics and morality.

"I was overthinking it."

After calming down, Tsukihime pondered it secretly and realized that it did indeed make sense.
Uchiha Gin didn't even lay a hand on her, his sister-in-law, so how could he be lusting after a beast?
Right?

Let's put the matter of Sae-hime aside for now. Watching Tsuki-hime stuffing mouthfuls of fries, Uchiha Gin hesitated for a moment, then asked softly...

"Tsukihime, what do you think of the Hyuga clan?"

"The Hyuga clan? I can't even look at them."

Tsukihime blinked in confusion. What kind of question was that?
From the very beginning, she never gave the Hyuga clan, her poor relatives on the surface, a second glance.

However, the pastries were made quite well.

Having just tasted the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Daifuku, her stereotypes about the Hyuga clan vanished. These poor relatives weren't as useless as she had imagined.
Don't you want anything from them?

Seeing this, Uchiha Gin, unwilling to give up, pressed on with the question.

"What's the point? Their slow, leisurely boxing style?"

The Hyuga clan's current level is simply not up to her standards; this is the confidence that Tsukihime possesses as the pinnacle of the moon.
"Eye roll! Eye roll!"

"What would I do with that stuff? It's not pure at all, and most of them are cursed. I'm afraid it would get diarrhea if I fed it to a giant Tenseigan."

Seeing that Tsukihime's expression didn't seem fake, Uchiha Gin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

You're overthinking things, Tianyao Prison.
If you're useless enough, you won't become the enemy's target.

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Having resolved Hyuga Tenyo's worries, Uchiha Gin felt much more relaxed.
The Otsutsuki clan on the moon is relatively large, and their need for high-purity Byakugan is almost zero. They have virtually no intention of invading the ninja world or seizing the Hyuga clan's century-old legacy.

"But I really liked the daifuku from earlier."

Tsukihime savored the taste of the daifuku she had just eaten, her fair face filled with longing.
Why don't we incorporate the Hyuga clan into our ranks and have them provide us with delicious sweets every day?
"Dafu is good~Dafu is good~"

As long as it's not eye rolls, it's fine.

After achieving their goal of "fries freedom," Gin Uchiha and his two companions squeezed out of the store.
"Tsukihime, this is for you."

Gin Uchiha handed the newly issued membership card to Tsukihime and explained.

"I've already loaded money into this account, so you can come down and order fries anytime."

He could tell that Tsukihime really liked fries, so through Satomi, he got her an unlimited fries card.

"Thank you."

Tsukihime nodded, quickly taking the membership card with Satomi's name on it. Suppressing the urge to tear it to shreds, she took a deep breath and tucked it into her bosom, carefully storing it away.

She had another excuse to leave.

After that, Hikaru and Tsukihime spent a few more days playing in the village. On the day of their departure, Hikaru deliberately avoided having Uchiha Gin come to see them off.
"Tsukihime, I haven't been a good host these past few days. Next time you come, I'll definitely take you out for some fun!"

Looking at Tsukihime carrying a large bag of storage scrolls, Uchiha Gin made a sincere promise.
"It's okay, I'll be back next month."

Tsukihime glanced at Uchiha Gin indifferently.
"."

You've become addicted to visiting other people's homes?
Thinking of the large bra that was still lying in his backpack, Uchiha Gin felt a headache coming on. What exactly happened that night? Could Tsukihime have been sleepwalking?

"I'll wait for you. Let's have a proper fight next time!"

Hikari, standing to the side, was quite welcoming of Tsukihime's arrival. Tsukihime was one of the few opponents who could ignite her fighting spirit. After years of sparring, the two had become inseparable best friends.

"Ah."

Nodding slightly, Tsukihime leaped into the portal to the moon, her figure flashing and disappearing without a trace.
"Phew, they're finally gone!"

Uchiha Gin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense expression on his face relaxed.

"A-Yin, you seem to be deliberately avoiding Yue-Hime this time. Did you two have some kind of conflict?"

Only then did Hikaru belatedly recall the various disharmonious behaviors between Uchiha Gin and Tsukihime over the past few days.
"No, no, how could that be? I'm just too busy. I have to work a day job, take care of my child, and prepare gifts for others."

There's no conflict, and he is indeed busy; Uchiha Gin simply doesn't know how to face Tsukihime.

"Preparing a gift?"

Uchiha Hikaru knew about the daily routine of taking care of the children, but how should he begin when it came to preparing a gift?
"I'm going to Houmi's grandson's one-month celebration tomorrow, I need to prepare a nice gift for him, right?"

"You've been attending banquets quite frequently lately. When will you be able to recoup the money you've spent on gifts?"

After doing a quick calculation, good heavens! In just the last few days, Uchiha Gin has eaten at least ten banquets. This constant influx of food without any return is making Hikaru quite anxious.
"That's true."

Uchiha Gin also thought that what was said made sense. He was always the one taking advantage of others; when had he ever suffered a loss himself?
He immediately stroked his chin, pondering what reason he could use to get the money back.

Such matters are nothing more than weddings and funerals, but weddings are not for him; right now, only funerals remain.
"or."

"I am willing!"

Seeing that Uchiha Gin's gaze had fallen on him, Uchiha Hikaru was overjoyed. Could it be that he was finally going to secure the position of the eldest son's wife?

I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you in such a hurry?
With a puzzled look, Gin Uchiha blinked and gently shook his head.

"Xiao Guang, you're still young, it's not suitable for you to do this."

"Nani!?"

"You... I've finally lost to Lady Yongmei?"

Uchiha Hikaru gave a bleak smile, his face filled with sorrow.
Uchiha Gin scratched his head in confusion.
"What nonsense are you spouting? I'm going to choose my little cousin. Anyway, he's useless now, and it's time for him to log off." (End of Chapter)
