In the evening, Tsunade woke from her sleep, her dizzy head gradually clearing, and the memories of her drunken state slowly returning. Her face grew redder and redder as she covered her burning cheeks.
Tsunade couldn't believe she had done that.
She, she had actually confessed to Orochimaru while drunk, and, and kissed her.
That couldn't have been a dream, could it?
Tsunade couldn't tell for a moment whether it was reality or a dream. She pulled back the blanket and saw that she was only wrapped in a bath towel, her face turning even redder. She quickly got out of bed and found her underwear and bra from the drawer beneath the wardrobe.
The thought that she had been bold enough to kiss Orochimaru, and with a French kiss at that, made her feel it couldn't possibly be real, more like a dream she had.
But if it was a dream, it was too real, as real as if it had actually happened.
Just as Tsunade was caught in self-doubt, the door opened, and a scent wafted in. Orochimaru, wearing an apron, walked into the room and saw Tsunade, wrapped in a bath towel, squatting on the floor as if planting mushrooms or counting ants.
"Tsunade, no mushrooms will grow if you squat there."
Tsunade turned her head and saw Orochimaru's dark, beautiful hair casually tied into a bun with a single chopstick, wearing a pink apron, one hand on her hip, staring at her with a hint of disdain and displeasure, as if looking at trash.
"Ah! O-Orochimaru!"
Tsunade suddenly stood up, looking at her somewhat at a loss, and cautiously asked, "Um, I didn't do anything excessive while I was drunk, did I?"
"Oh? Excessive things, what excessive things are you referring to?"
Orochimaru approached Tsunade, looked at the underwear and bra in her hand, and said angrily, "What on earth happened that made you forget to even put on your underwear? Or have you developed a bad habit of running around naked at home?"
"Ah! I didn't!"
Only after Orochimaru's reminder did Tsunade realize she hadn't put on her underwear. Blushing, she hastily put on her underwear, but struggled to fasten the clasp of her bra.
Orochimaru couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward to help Tsunade fasten the clasp.
"Um… Orochimaru, I…"
Tsunade, having changed her clothes, couldn't help but ask again.
"The drunk you confessed to me. Do you want me to continue?"
Orochimaru stood with one hand on her hip, looking at Tsunade's bright red face.
"No, no need…"
Tsunade shook her head repeatedly, her face so red it looked like it was about to drip blood. The realization that it wasn't a dream made her glance at Orochimaru's pale pink lips, and a rush of heat surged within her.
Drip—!
A drop of bright red blood fell onto the floor.
"I'm going to the restroom."
Tsunade, covering her nose, dashed out of the room and headed straight for the restroom.
Orochimaru looked at the drop of blood on the floor and suddenly remembered a winter many years ago when she and Tsunade were in a hot spring, and Tsunade had a nosebleed. She had thought at the time that Tsunade was just unlucky to have a ruptured capillary in her nasal cavity. Now, it seemed she had been overthinking.
It was simply that Tsunade, this fellow, was thinking something perverted and got so excited that she had a nosebleed!
Orochimaru cleaned the blood from the floor and left the room.
At the dining table, Tsunade tried her best to eat with a normal expression, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Orochimaru, eager to know how she would respond to her confession.
Would she accept, or accept… If Orochimaru refused, she would absolutely not accept it.
Hyuga Mio noticed Tsunade's occasional glances at Orochimaru, which made her mood even worse, but she couldn't show it. She looked at Uchiha Hikari, who seemed to be in a good mood and ate an extra bowl of rice.
Do I have to continue like this?
Hyuga Mio ate several mouthfuls of rice in quick succession. She felt she couldn't go on like this.
