This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

"Captain Ryosuke, you have a really good memory. You actually still remember this."

Mei Terumi stared at the blushing face and reluctantly explained to Mizunoe Ryosuke.

As she spoke, Mei Terumi just prayed that her story would get away with it, because she really didn't want this dark history to be brought up again in front of Mizunoe Ryosuke.

But it is obvious that Mizunoe Ryosuke, who is full of evil taste in his heart, does not want this page to be turned over so easily.

"Like This"

"In that case, let's go in and take a look around, maybe picking out a 'gift' for little Yuri who's still in Kirigakure."

Mizunoe Ryosuke said this with a calm smile, but there was a malicious depth in the depths of his eyes.

However, Terumi Mei, who was immersed in inner anxiety and guilt at the moment, had no idea of ​​Mizunoe Ryosuke's "malice".

"This this"

"I"

"All right"

Mei Terumi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded with a blushing face, agreeing to everything.

Just like that, Ryosuke with a wicked smile and Mei Terumi with a guilty and blushing face walked into the bookstore.

At the same time, in the Hidden Mist Village.

Ringo Ayuri, who was walking down the street, suddenly sneezed repeatedly.

"Ah sneeze!!!"

"Do I have a cold?"

“It shouldn’t be like that.”

Ringo Yuyuri scratched her nose in confusion and thought to herself.

She didn't know when it started, but she always started sneezing for no reason.

If you trace it back, it seems that this symptom has occurred frequently since the last time I took the blame for my "good sister".

Whenever she recalls this incident, Ringo Ayuri still feels a little angry.

However, afterward, Terumi Meitai's "sincere" apology, even at the cost of emptying her wallet, made her forgive the guy who "stabbed her sister twice."

"Ugh"

Thinking of this, Ringo Yuyuri couldn't help but sigh.

How could she not know what Mei Terumi was thinking?

The reason why she was happy to take the blame for Mei Terumi was that she had the idea of ​​helping her and hoped that she could get what she wanted.

just

"Mizukage-sama is truly exceptional. Can you truly succeed?"

After whispering to herself in her heart, Ringo Yuyuri stopped thinking and continued to stride forward.

I just wonder what she will feel when she knows that her "good sister" in the Iron Country is using her as a shield again.

Chapter 563: Being pulled numb

After a while, Ryosuke and Mei Terumi walked out of the bookstore.

Mei Terumi was holding a few female-oriented books in her arms, which were obviously the "gifts" she carefully selected for "Yuri-chan".

The blush on her cheeks had not yet faded, and it was obvious that she was still immersed in the afterglow of shyness and couldn't extricate herself.

Outside the bookstore, the golden sunlight shone upon this silvery-white land, giving this originally vast white land a touch of golden brilliance.

The sun sets, and it won't be long before night completely covers the country.

Ryosuke looked up at the sky above his head.

Perhaps because of the snowy plains on the ground, the Iron Kingdom's sky appeared incredibly clear against the backdrop of the boundless snow. This even made the ordinary sunset seem exceptionally pure and beautiful.

"call"

"It's getting late, let's go back."

Mizunoe Ryosuke let out a breath, then turned and spoke to Mei Terumi, whose face was slightly blushing beside him.

"Ok"

In response to Ryosuke's words, Terumi Mei, with a slightly blushing face, just nodded.

"Su, Su"

On the way back, the two still walked side by side.

Along the way, neither of them spoke first, and the only sound in the air was the sound of shoes stepping on the snow.

The golden sunset gave their bodies a light golden hue, making them look like a perfect couple.

Mei Terumi's beautiful eyes kept flickering, and her obscure gaze kept looking at Ryosuke beside her, as if she had something to say.

But every time at the critical moment, she always lacks the courage, which makes Terumi Mei feel extremely conflicted.

There were some things she thought she had to say while taking this opportunity, otherwise she might lose this chance forever.

Because Mei Terumi could feel that her chances of being so "close" to Ryosuke like today were running out.

The "distance" between people never refers to the physical distance, but the distance between their hearts.

Just as Mei Terumi gritted her teeth and was about to speak, perhaps noticing something, Mizunoe Ryosuke, who had been silent beside her for a long time, spoke first.

"Ming, do you know how I felt about you when I first met you?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke softly, his eyes still looking straight ahead, with no intention of turning his head to look at Mei Terumi.

But even so, Ryosuke's gentle voice still reached Ming's ears clearly.

Ryosuke's sudden question caught Terumi Mei off guard, and her heartbeat became much faster.

Mizunoe Ryosuke's question seemed a bit incoherent, but it made Terumi Mei unable to help but start to speculate in her heart.

"Why did he ask that? Could it be..."

Could it be that Mizunoe Ryosuke already knew her feelings and planned to give her an answer here?

As if she had thought of some possibility, Mei Terumi's heartbeat became more and more rapid.

Thinking this in her heart, Mei Terumi just shook her head at Mizunoe Ryosuke, indicating that she didn't know.

At the same time, Mei Terumi's heart was in her throat.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Mizunoe Ryosuke, and her tense expression was not concealed at all.

As if not noticing what was wrong with Mei Terumi, Mizunoe Ryosuke continued speaking.

"I could see then that you were a very strong girl."

"It was also at that time that I concluded that your talent and future were absolutely extraordinary."

He was not surprised by Mei Terumi's answer and just smiled and whispered, then stopped and turned to look at Mei Terumi beside him.

Hearing this, Terumi Mei became increasingly nervous.

At this moment, her heart was full of doubts and anxiety.

"Captain Ryosuke, I..."

Mei Terumi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn't say it because of her inner anxiety.

Seeing that Mei Terumi was speechless, Mizunoe Ryosuke did not ask any further questions, but continued speaking.

"I'm very optimistic about you, Ming."

He spoke to Mei Terumi in a serious tone, revealing a smile that was extremely bright for the latter.

After hearing these words, Mei Terumi's heart instantly became extremely excited.

Mizunoe Ryosuke expressed his approval of her, does this mean

Will her feelings finally be reciprocated today?

Thinking of this, Ming's heart began to tremble, and a sweet emotion continued to flow out from her heart amidst her uneasiness.

Under Mei Terumi's nervous gaze, Ryosuke finally spoke.

"Ming, you should understand."

"I brought you to the Iron Kingdom this time."

I think you should be aware of Shadow's guards."

Mizunoe Ryosuke looked at Mei Terumi in front of him meaningfully.

As Ryosuke finished speaking, Terumi Mei's expression kept changing for a moment.

From the shyness and nervousness at the beginning, to the confusion and loss, and finally to the unexpected awkwardness.

Mei Terumi is not stupid, so of course she understands what Mizunoe Ryosuke means.

There has always been an unspoken rule in the ninja world, that is, the ninja who acts as the guard of the "Kage" at the Ninja World Conference will most likely become the next "Kage" of the village.

The "Kage" attended the Ninja World Talks, which meant that she had been recognized by the "Kage".

This also means that Mizunoe Ryosuke is almost telling her that she is the next successor to the Mizukage that he favors.

Before Ryosuke said this, Terumi Mei also had some lucky thoughts in her mind.

After all, Kirigakure is full of talented people right now.

In terms of seniority and status, she is far behind the Hidden Mist leaders such as Mangetsu Hozuki, Kisame Hoshigaki and Yuuta Kaguya.

In terms of strength, the current Mei Terumi is probably not as good as Zabuza, who was carefully trained by Ryosuke in the same generation.

In terms of the degree of closeness, the equally talented Mitsuhiko Mizunoe is not only a fellow clan member of Ryosuke, but also Ryosuke's disciple.

Even if Ryosuke wanted to train the next generation of Mizukage, it shouldn't be her turn no matter how you look at it.

And now, Ryosuke's words really reached Terumi Mei's ears, which made Terumi Mei confused.

The complexity of Mei Terumi is far more than this (Qian Zhaohao).

It's no exaggeration to say that the complexity of Mei Terumi's mood at this moment is absolutely indescribable in words.

This feeling is like.

The female secretary falls in love with the domineering president and wants to pay for him.

Finally, the female secretary received a text message from the boss, asking her to come to the office after get off work.

Just as the female secretary changed into her Hips skirt and walked into the boss's office with a nervous mood.

The boss said: "Congratulations, you have been promoted and have been appointed as the next general manager of the company."

The complexity of this feeling is probably enough to drive anyone crazy.

Mei Terumi couldn't tell whether she should be happy or sad at the moment.

If she said she was happy, she couldn't be happy at all because she didn't get the response she expected.

Although she said she was disappointed, Ryosuke had already expressed his desire to train her as the next Mizukage. How could she not be delighted by such a surprise?

This wave?

This wave was directly pulled numb

Chapter 564: Mei Terumi is eager to join the harem

The strong and complicated feeling in her heart made Mei Terumi stand there for a moment, not knowing what to do.

For Ryosuke Mizunoe, it is actually not difficult to guess what Mei Terumi is thinking.

But compared to these personal affairs, what Mizukage Ryosuke should explain more is the responsibilities of Kirigakure.

The reason why he didn't point this out directly before was that he wanted to give Mei Terumi some time to adapt during the Ninja World Talks.

Now that the meeting was over, it was time for him to explain this to Mei Terumi.

But judging from Mei Terumi's face at this moment, she doesn't seem happy?

Ming's heart was filled with complexity at the moment. She couldn't tell whether her current emotion was joy or loss.

But there was one thing she was certain of, and that was that compared to the confirmation of her identity as the Mizukage's successor, she was more concerned about something else.
