[In front of the Konoha Guesthouse.]
Temari let down her familiar four-ponytail hairstyle.
Let your hair down.
She was also wearing a cute butterfly hair clip.
[Her pretty face was slightly flushed as she sat on a bench in front of the guesthouse.]
Holding a miniature version of a large iron fan, he kept fanning himself.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.
At this moment, she was completely different from her previous bold and daring self.
[Like a young girl who has just confirmed her relationship and is waiting for her boyfriend to arrive.]
[Constantly checking if my hairstyle is messy.]
Meanwhile, she was also worried that the villain might not like her new look...
Kushina Uzumaki: "I love it~!"
Kushina Uzumaki: "This suits you so perfectly~!"
Kushina Uzumaki: "Naruto will definitely say that he likes them all."
Mikoto Uchiha: "..."
Kushina, tone it down a bit!
However, Mikoto Uchiha was also led astray.
What would Naruto with black frames say?
Do you like them all?
Hmm... this answer is alright too.
But Mikoto Uchiha thought that Naruto with black frames probably wouldn't say that.
Naruto with black-rimmed glasses is often very gentle, even somewhat serious.
However, sometimes he is influenced by the big fox and becomes somewhat unserious.
...
The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:
"Is this... all right?"
Ultimately, Temari didn't change her hairstyle.
But she didn't take off that cute pink butterfly hair clip.
Because her heart was beating too fast, Temari fanned herself faster and faster.
She was really looking forward to it.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Whatever it was before.
This time it's official.
[It was Gaara who personally delivered the letter.]
[Although she did give Gaara a few minor scoldings afterward.]
Gaara's attitude was completely beyond her expectations...
In short, Temari just can't seem to suppress the corners of her mouth these days.
My heart is filled with sweet joy.
There's still an hour until the agreed time.
Temari, however, was already impatiently coming down.
Time passed by, little by little.
Gaara remained motionless throughout, like a statue.
[She stood by the window watching her older sister, her excitement and anticipation gradually giving way to calm.]
After all, you have to wait an hour early.
[While there's excitement and anticipation, as time goes on, it's important to mentally prepare and calm down.]
Of course, this is because Temari is different from ordinary women.
[If it's someone like Hinata.]
She would blush bright red even if she waited half a day in advance.
[Then...she fainted several times.]
Hinata Hyuga: "..."
I didn't!
I can't!
That's not how it works!
Little Fireworks secretly peeked at her older sister.
She didn't dare to open her little mouth any further.
Otherwise, one will have to endure the suffocating confinement of love.
Kankuro is fiddling with a puppet.
She glanced at Gaara, who stood behind the window like a statue.
She craned her neck again and glanced at Temari, whose hairstyle had changed countless times in the past hour.
[A silent sigh escapes.]
He shook his head.
He lowered his head and continued fiddling with his puppet.
However, before bowing his head, he glanced at Gaara one more time.
Gaara's transformation... is so drastic it's like he's become a completely different person.
He almost thought he was under an illusion.
But he wouldn't dare act like Temari...
[Gaara, without asking Temari, secretly went to deliver her love letter.]
[If it's something a young girl should have, then his older sister should have it too.]
[As a result, Temari got angry, and she really did get angry.]
Although Kankuro knew that Temari couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth when she was angry.
But... I heard Temari scolding Gaara.
Gaara, however, lowered his head and demurely bowed his brow.
[Like a younger brother whose bloodline is suppressed... (alluding to himself)]
Kankuro: "..."
Kankuro's worldview was completely shattered by that scene.
[Especially, Temari, who had been angry, even ruffled Gaara's hair.]
She even asked, with a girlish air, if it was too abrupt... if he would think she was too frivolous... and so on.
In short, these past few days, Kankuro has felt as if he's in a world of illusion.
[And there are also changes in Machi.]
Everything around seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.
Only him.
Only his puppets.
Everything remains unchanged.
["well..."]
"How should I put it?"
Kankuro shook his head.
If you don't know how to say it, then just shut up.
[Continue polishing the puppet's small parts.]
[finally. ]
[After an unknown amount of time, Kankuro noticed.]
Gaara moved slightly.
Although it was very mild.
But Kankuro still noticed.
He quickly turned around and craned his neck to look.
[Look down, on the bench opposite the guesthouse.]
That silly older sister has completely changed.
Where is the familiar face of him now?
Not at all.
[It wasn't this serious when I followed that blond kid from Konoha last time.]
[No...this state...]
Isn't it the same as when I first went down?
So, what exactly did this silly sister do in that one hour?
"Oh no, I'm completely in love."
"You idiot Temari, don't you dare..."
[Before the words were finished.]
Gaara suddenly turned around and looked at Kankuro.
[Kankuro: "..."]
He immediately shut up.
However.
[Soon, Kankuro's eyes widened, his pupils contracted rapidly, and his face was filled with disbelief.]
What did he see?
He reached up and touched his forehead.
[In just a few short breaths.]
A thin layer of cold sweat had already formed on his forehead.
[I was first startled by Gaara's sudden turn of his head.]
[Later, it was because... Gaara didn't just remain expressionless or give him a cold look to warn him.]
Instead...
[He actually laughed!]
[Even though her smile looked more like a grimace.]
But... Kankuro still understands his younger brother.
He actually saw a softening light return to Gaara's eyes.
This is... utterly unbelievable.
[Okay, yesterday when Gaara woke up, he thanked him, and his eyes were very gentle.]
But at that time, Kankuro thought he wasn't fully awake.
[Right now... I've definitely seen it.]
[Just as Kankuro was lost in thought...]
Gaara has arrived at the door and is ready to go downstairs.
[Squeak—]
After opening the door, Gaara seemed to realize something.
[They stopped again.]
"I'm going out for a bit."
"Um...uh...okay." Kankuro blinked, still not quite recovered.
[Bang--]
The door was gently closed.
*Snap*
Kankuro slapped his forehead.
[No!]
[I'm a younger brother too!]
I want to go too!
However, when Kankuro arrived at the door and was about to open it, he found that the door was locked...
