The next day, Aoba woke up wrapped in a warm embrace.
He glanced at Hinata, who was still hugging him tightly even in her sleep, and couldn't help but smile.
Her cheeks still carried a faint blush, as if the satisfaction from last night hadn't faded yet.
Of course, Aoba's experience hadn't been bad either.
This kind of warm, soft feeling was a bit like soaking in a hot spring.
Aoba tried to carefully pull away, but his movement still caught Hinata's attention.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her closed eyes opened just a slit.
"Mmm~ A-Aoba-kun?"
Hinata groggily opened her eyes.
Then, seeing that face that made her heart race, she froze for a few moments.
As memories of last night slowly came back to her, she finally realized what had happened, and her face turned bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But with that shy expression, combined with her full figure and the way she was holding Aoba right now, it created a striking, contrasting kind of allure.
"Good morning, Hinata."
Seeing how adorable she was, Aoba couldn't resist giving her a couple more kisses.
He hadn't expected Hinata to wake up naturally, after all, she had practically passed out last night.
Looking at it this way, with the enhancement of the Tenseigan and her own background as a taijutsu specialist, Hinata's endurance really was impressive.
The move she came up with on the spot last night, that "Rotation," was also very strong.
Even he found it hard to take head-on, though Hinata herself could only use it once or twice before she couldn't continue.
"Good morning, Aoba-kun."
Hinata greeted him with a red face.
"Since you're awake, let's get up. Breakfast should already be ready."
Aoba pinched her cute little cheek.
"Mmm…"
Hinata nodded and withdrew the arms that had been holding him.
But she quickly noticed something unusual, and her pretty face flushed again.
"Aoba-kun… will you feel uncomfortable going to work like this?"
"Well…"
Aoba opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Hinata had already taken the initiative.
"Taking care of my husband's body… is also my responsibility as a wife."
Hinata wasn't some little girl anymore. She wasn't that shy, and she went straight to the point.
"…"
What could Aoba even say? The girl was already being this proactive, so he naturally cooperated as best as he could.
———
After breakfast, Hinata naturally took a day off.
With the Tenseigan, her body didn't feel much strain, but she still needed to go home and tell her family about it.
After breakfast, Aoba held Hinata's hand and returned to the Hyuga clan grounds.
As expected, Hyuga Hiashi had already been waiting at the entrance early in the morning.
He really wanted to know about the Tenseigan as soon as possible.
But at the same time, there was another reason…
"Father."
"Uncle Hiashi."
The two greeted him first.
"…"
Hyuga Hiashi looked like he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, a small figure suddenly popped out from behind him.
"Don't forget Hanabi!"
Hanabi jumped out and stood beside Hyuga Hiashi with her hands on her hips.
Of course, the two of them had already noticed her hiding behind him.
Aoba couldn't help but step forward and rub her hair, putting on a slightly stern face as he said, "Today shouldn't be a holiday, right? Why aren't you at class?"
"I was worried about my sister, so I asked for leave."
Hanabi puffed out her cheeks, but soon wrinkled her little nose and leaned closer.
"By the way, Aoba-nii, you smell like my sister a lot."
"…"
Aoba was speechless as soon as he heard that.
'That is impossible.'
After what happened this morning, both he and Hinata had washed up thoroughly. There was no way any smell could be left behind.
She must have guessed something and was deliberately teasing them.
Just looking at how Hinata's face instantly turned red made it obvious.
Hyuga Hiashi, who had been about to speak, also couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard Hanabi's words.
This was the other reason he had been waiting at the clan entrance so early today.
Yesterday evening, after Aoba took Hinata to eat at Ichiraku Ramen, they had held hands and strolled around the village for a while, and naturally some Hyuga clan members had seen them.
Hyuga Hiashi had originally thought Hinata might come back after dinner.
So he waited all night.
Not coming home and instead spending the night outside with her boyfriend, what would happen didn't even need guessing.
Hyuga Hiashi subconsciously covered his chest, which was aching faintly, and only managed to calm down after taking several deep breaths.
"Alright, Hanabi, stop bothering Aoba. Let's go inside first and talk."
"Oh, then I want Aoba-nii to carry me in."
Hyuga Hiashi: (〒__〒)
The group entered the clan grounds together.
———
Inside the living room—
Around the tatami, Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Ayako sat on one side, Aoba and Hinata sat opposite them, Hanabi sat in Aoba's lap, and Hyuga Natsu sat to the side pouring tea for both sides.
"Nee-san, your eyes look so pretty now. Is this the Tenseigan Aoba-nii mentioned?"
Hanabi sat in Aoba's lap, but her gaze was fixed on Hinata's eyes.
After hearing Hanabi's words, the others naturally looked toward Hinata's eyes as well.
After awakening the Tenseigan, even when it wasn't activated, Hinata's eyes had changed slightly.
Her originally flawless eyes were still pure, but they were no longer snow-white, now carrying a faint hint of purple.
It made them look more mysterious.
"Mhm."
Hinata nodded gently, "But it's in a closed state right now. The changes are even bigger when it's activated."
"Then can you show us now?", Hanabi asked eagerly.
But this time Hinata shook her head, a little embarrassed, "I'll show it in a bit. Aoba-kun has something to tell Father and the others first."
"To us?"
Hyuga Hiashi was taken aback. He had been waiting for Hinata to demonstrate the Tenseigan, not expecting the topic to shift to himself.
"Mhm…"
Aoba, who had been sipping tea, also put down his cup and nodded, "Uncle Hiashi, Aunt Ayako, I do have something important to tell you."
"Hm?"
Now both Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Ayako straightened up, their expressions turning serious.
"Aoba, if you have something to say, just say it. As long as it's something the Hyuga clan can help with, we definitely won't refuse."
Aoba also sat a bit straighter and got straight to the point.
"Then I'll say it directly."
"Hinata and I went to the bridal shop yesterday to look at wedding dresses, and we also took wedding photos. If there are no issues, it shouldn't be long before we hold the wedding."
"…"
Hyuga Hiashi: *Shocked pikachu face!*
