"Hmm?", Aoba looked at the hand that suddenly reached in.
Before he could sense anything, a head of red hair appeared in his field of vision.
Immediately after, it was Karin's face, as if she had suffered the greatest injustice in the world.
"Karin, you...", Aoba hadn't finished speaking when Karin crouched and deftly slipped in through the crook of his arm.
Standing in the living room, she looked around.
"Karin..."
Just as Aoba walked over, Karin darted into the kitchen.
"You opportunistic, sneaky, cheating cat! As expected, it's you!"
Temari looked at the angry Karin in front of her.
After hearing her words, the bit of guilt that had arisen in her heart disappeared without a trace.
"This was the Hokage's decision. If you have a problem, go talk to her."
It wasn't her idea to begin with, why should she be called a sneaky cat?
"You..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? I'm helping Yugao-neesan cook now. If you have nothing to say, can you not disturb us?", Temari directly interrupted Karin.
"Yugao-neesan?", Karin was stunned when she heard how Temari addressed her, then appeared even more furious, "You cheating cat! Calling her 'neesan' rolls right off your tongue!"
"That's what Yugao-neesan told me to call her," Temari still wore a cold expression.
"You...", Karin still wanted to say something, but was already silenced by Aoba who covered her mouth and directly carried her out.
Karin struggled hard in Aoba's arms, but how could her strength compare to his?
Aoba didn't stay in the living room either, but took her straight into the bedroom.
Some things weren't convenient to talk about in the living room.
The strange thing was, not long after Karin entered the bedroom, she gave up struggling and became obedient again.
"Why did you suddenly stop causing a fuss?", Aoba looked at Karin in his arms with surprise. She was curling up, her eyes misty, her face slightly flushed.
Noticing Aoba's gaze, Karin shrank further into his arms, blinking her big, pitiful eyes.
"Aoba-oniichan, you brought Karin into the bedroom, could it be you want to do naughty things?"
Aoba's mouth twitched at her words, then he directly tossed her onto the bed.
"You're overthinking. I just wanted to explain the situation with Temari to you."
Karin's lips immediately pouted upon hearing that, "Why are you suddenly going to marry that cheating cat from Sunagakure?"
"Marry?"
Aoba was a bit confused,."When did I say I was getting married?"
"Hmph! You're still trying to lie to me!", Karin sat on the bed and snorted softly, "Your wedding invitation was even sent to the house."
"You..."
Aoba was speechless and knocked her lightly on the forehead, "That's an engagement, not a wedding!"
"Eh?", Karin covered her forehead, her watery eyes full of confusion.
Aoba explained the situation from the previous day again.
Only then did Karin have a sudden realization.
"So it's for Konoha's sake that you're getting engaged to that Temari?"
"Mm," Aoba nodded.
"Then dare you say, you don't have a bit of selfish desire?"
"Uh..."
"Hmph!", Seeing Aoba hesitate, Karin already knew the answer, looking wronged, "Aoba-oniichan is really a big per-vert, likes every girl he sees."
Aoba helplessly sat down on the bed and hugged her, "Then does Karin hate me?"
"Very much!", Karin's hands wrapped around his neck, her pink eyes stared into his, then she sighed, "But who told me to like you."
Aoba's heart trembled slightly and he directly kissed her rosy lips.
Karin's body immediately softened.
After a while, their lips slowly parted.
But Karin was still immersed in it, licking the corner of her lips as if savoring the taste.
Aoba pinched her flushed little face again, "Karin, in a few more years, I'll marry you."
"Really?", Karin immediately came to her senses, her face lit up with excitement.
"Really," Aoba reached out and pinched her black stockings.
Compared to the soft curves of Shizune and the others, Karin's were more slender and tight.
Karin leaned her face in again.
A long while later, she pressed close to Aoba's ear and said, panting slightly, "Aoba-oniichan, I heard that as long as... that place can get bigger."
"Huh? Karin, you..."
"It's okay, just rubbing is fine...", Karin pleaded and even bit Aoba's earlobe.
Aoba had no choice but to raise his hand to her chest area. Helping her treat her congenital defect.
'Indeed, very plain.'
'But still...'
Karin, feeling this unprecedented intimate action, stiffened noticeably.

When the two came out of the bedroom, Karin was limping. Her black thigh-high stockings were a bit dirty.
"Dinner's ready. Karin, want to eat with us?", Yugao called the two to eat.
"M-Mama already cooked dinner at home... I'll go eat there!", Karin wasn't in great shape at the moment, cheeks flushed, a few strands of hair stuck to her forehead.
After greeting Yugao, she ran out in a flustered escape.
Leaving Yugao and Temari somewhat baffled.
"What did you two do in the bedroom?", Yugao's gaze instantly became sharp.
Temari also looked at him with a complex expression.
She, the fiancee, was cooking here. If the fiance was doing that kind of thing with a little girlfriend...
Then wouldn't she be wearing a huge green hat?
"Didn't do anything," Aoba shrugged.
Yugao thought for a while, "Go wash your hands. Get ready to eat."
Given Aoba's stamina, in such a short time, it was indeed impossible to do anything much.
Temari, seeing that Yugao believed him, naturally didn't say more.
She still knew propriety.
After he carefully washed his hands, Yugao and Temari had already set out the bowls and chopsticks.
"Aren't we waiting for Mei-neesan?", Aoba sat at his seat.
"No need. Who told her to go out during dinner time."
Yugao picked up a rib and put it in Temari's bowl, "Try it. See if it suits your taste."
"Mm, thank you, Yugao-neesan," Temari politely thanked her, picked up the rib, and took a bite.
Her eyes lit up, "Delicious!"
"That's good. I was worried you might not be used to it," Yugao also smiled.
Since the three of them would be living together from now on, it was important to know each other's tastes.
Aoba saw this and didn't say much, just lowered his head and started eating.
———
After a while, Terumi Mei finally came back.
Seeing the smile on her face, she must have had great success.
"Aoba, Tsunade has already agreed. Kirigakure and Konoha will officially form a marriage alliance. Tomorrow, we'll be engaged too," Terumi Mei slapped a marriage document onto the table.
Aoba looked a little helpless, while Temari turned her mouth unhappily.
Crack—
Suddenly, the sound of chopsticks snapping echoed at the table.
