Nawaki snapped out of his daze and forced a smile, awkwardly gesturing as he struggled to find the words.
"I mean... Minato."
"Yeah? Hand me the dishes. You don't look so good. I'll take care of it today, and you can do it tomorrow."
"Um... what exactly is the deal between my sister and Uzuki Xin?"
"Their relationship?"
Minato looked up at him, puzzled.
"It's pretty normal, I guess. At first, I thought it was just a senior-junior thing, but later it felt more like they were friends. They both like to joke around and mess with each other."
As he spoke, Minato couldn't help but smile wryly.
Honestly, Xin might be the only one in the whole of Konoha who dares to tease Tsunade like that! Anyone else would probably be flattened with a single slap.
"Don't you think it's weird, though?" Nawaki asked, still feeling unsettled. Tsunade's so much older, yet she's friends with someone who's at least ten years younger than her? And they seem really close!
It doesn't make sense. It really doesn't.
"There's something even weirder that happens at night. You'll see soon enough."
Recalling the events of the past few nights, Minato could only laugh helplessly.
"What? Something weirder?"
Nawaki's voice rose a few notches, nearly deafening Minato.
Why's he reacting so strongly?
Soon, Nawaki would understand exactly why Minato had said there were even stranger things.
"Come on, let's play a few rounds of cards before you guys head out on patrol. I haven't played all day, and I'm getting antsy," Tsunade said, slapping the table with satisfaction after receiving a full-body massage. She waved a deck of cards in front of Nawaki, beckoning him over with a playful grin.
"Just lend me your allowance. I'll pay you back later."
"No way! I don't have any allowance left!" Nawaki shouted, instinctively clutching his wallet.
Xin rolled his eyes.
You're practically giving yourself away!
That reaction and tone-only a fool would believe you. Do you think your sister's that naive?
"You're not going to lend it to me?"
Tsunade knew her brother had money and wasn't buying his excuse. Narrowing her eyes, she tilted her chin up and stared him down.
"This is really all I have left."
Nawaki reluctantly pulled out his money, looking utterly miserable.
"..." Xin
"..." Minato
Both of them silently thanked their lucky stars they didn't have an older sister like Tsunade. If they did, they'd probably lose their minds.
Alright, today I won't try to win Tsunade's money. Nawaki looks too pitiful.
That was Xin's thought.
And Minato's as well.
But playing cards with Tsunade, trying to lose on purpose... that's easier said than done.
