Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

"Tsunade-sama, are you just going to let Shizuka leave like this?"

Standing next to Tsunade, Shizune looked at Tsunade's depressed back, hesitated for a long time but couldn't help but speak.

"What other reason do I have to keep her?" With her hands behind her back, Tsunade's tone was very flat.

"This..." She was speechless for a moment, and even Jingyin couldn't say anything now.

After all, as early as the third day after the operation, all of Shizuka Hiratsuka's injuries had healed. Even Tsunade, who performed the operation, was shocked by the speed of her recovery.

Although Tsunade knew that Shizuka Hiratsuka's physical recovery was different from that of ordinary people when she was training him, she did not expect that she still underestimated Shizuka Hiratsuka's abnormal physique.

Well, with the blessing and stimulation of qi, the physique is becoming more and more abnormal!

The subsequent teaching tasks made Tsunade wonder whether she was qualified to be a master!

In just five days, Shizuka Hiratsuka mastered all the teaching tasks prepared by Tsunade.

I originally thought that Shizuka Hiratsuka would be hesitant because she was exposed to the use of Qi too late and would not be able to learn it naturally.

Then, Shizuka Hiratsuka opened up her aura violently and had a head-on youthful collision with Might Guy that lasted for half an hour!

Although one of the reasons was that Might Guy let her go, Hiratsuka Shizuka's performance had made Tsunade lose the composure she had maintained for many years after becoming the village chief.

So, after Shizuka Hiratsuka learned another way to use her breath, she looked at Tsunade with shining eyes and asked excitedly what she was going to do next. Tsunade smiled and pointed to the gate of Konoha Village.

"Xiao Jing's talent is really astonishing. Even in the village, I have never seen such a person." Tsunade shook her head with some emotion, and her tone was a little subtle.

"Speaking of which, Lady Tsunade, do you still remember that time when Shizune was a child... and lost control?" After hesitating for a moment, Shizune spoke softly.

"Shizune, I should have told you."

"I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade." A hint of apology flashed across her face, and Shizune didn't say anything else.

"Let's go back. We need to investigate some things thoroughly."

"Yes, Tsunade-sama."

. . .

"Oh, you are indeed Princess Tsunade of Konoha Village! Such a serious injury was healed so quickly."

Looking at the lively Hiratsuka Shizuka in surprise, the fat man scratched his head in surprise.

Compared to humans, monsters have very strong self-healing abilities, but even monsters, if they suffer injuries of that degree, will not heal as quickly as Hiratsuka Shizuka!

"Of course, don't you see who your master is!~" Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded with a smile, holding a bottle of cold beer in her hand.

"Stop talking nonsense. We're not going to talk about anything today. No one can leave the tavern standing!"

"Xiao Jing, although I know you really want to drink, but..." Standing behind the counter with a smile on his face, Mr. Kong spoke happily while wiping the wine glass.

"Don't you have to go to work tomorrow~"

"Go to work, isn't today Saturday?"

"Yeah, but tomorrow is Monday."

"Eh?"

Chapter 347: Various Matters

"Wow, Sister Jing, you're finally back!"

At noon in the cafeteria, as soon as the class was over, Sonoko pulled Xiaolan and Yukino to the place where they usually sat.

There, the author Shizuka Hiratsuka was already waiting for them with a smile on her face.

"Well, actually we haven't seen each other for about half a month." Shaking her head with amusement, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't mind the girls expressing their longing for her.

After all, it is a very happy thing to have someone care about you, isn't it?

"Sister Jing, where have you been?" Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka pitifully, Yukino sat down next to Shizuka Hiratsuka without any hesitation and held her arm tightly.

"I couldn't even get through on the phone. When I realized I couldn't contact you, I got really worried. If I hadn't heard from the school and the pub that you were out for something, I would have been so worried."

"Ahaha, some troublesome things happened suddenly, and I had no choice but to go over and help. Now that it's over, I came back." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and touched Yukino's head. Of course, she couldn't tell Yukino and the others what really happened, not even Yukino who had already stepped into the monster circle.

Putting aside other things, if they knew that I was injured, it would be enough to cause me trouble.

"How have you been these days? Did anything interesting happen in school?"

"No, everything has been normal in school, but Aunt Jing has taken a long vacation, and everyone misses her class." Xiaolan shook her head slightly. Seeing the long-lost Shizuka Hiratsuka again, she was very happy.

"Yes, that's right. Originally, the school asked Mr. Kanda to substitute for the class. But after we took two classes, we still felt that your class, Sister Jing, was more interesting. Kanda saw it, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, after finishing his own lessons, he would always take us to play games with a smile." Sonoko shrugged casually and said carelessly.

"You guys really don't know how to respect your teacher. It's just that Mr. Kanda has a good personality. You can try someone else." Shizuka Hiratsuka slapped Sonoko's head in annoyance and shook her head with a helpless smile.

"Okay, now that I'm back, you guys can behave yourself a little better."

"Xiaolan, how is your family?"

"Not bad. Dad often gets work now. The money he earns as a detective is enough to supplement the family expenses. We can even save some every month." Xiaolan nodded with a smile. She was really happy about the changes in her family.

Kogoro Mouri is able to support the family, and she can concentrate on handling housework and taking care of her important people.

Of course, if Hime Eri could go home, Xiaolan would really have no other hope!

"Okay, don't worry, everything will change for the good." Seeing the change in Xiaolan's eyes, Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head with some heartache.

However, even Shizuka Hiratsuka could not persuade Kogoro Mori and Eri Kisaki much regarding the matter.

You feel you have no right to speak about things you haven't experienced. Shizuka Hiratsuka hasn't even dealt with her own significant other yet, so how can she be qualified to get involved in other couples' affairs?

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka was secretly resentful, it was obvious that both of them cared about each other, and they still had to ask her for help on other days like birthdays, Valentine's Day, and wedding anniversaries, and gave each other gifts in a deceptive way, but acted stupid when the topic of getting back together was mentioned.

Sometimes Shizuka Hiratsuka felt that they were not torturing each other, but torturing her and Xiaolan.

"I know, Aunt Jing, I'm very satisfied now." Xiaolan nodded coquettishly and smiled sweetly.

She has always been a very self-sufficient child, always having awe and expectations for life, which is also what makes her attractive.

"By the way, Aunt Jing." Perhaps because she didn't want to make Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had just returned, worry about her family's affairs, Xiaolan's eyes turned brightly and she smiled maliciously at Sonoko beside her.

"If we talk about what's happened recently, we have to mention Sonoko!~"

"Oh, what happened to Sonoko?" Shizuka Hiratsuka narrowed her eyes. Knowing that Xiaolan wanted to change the subject, she did not refuse, not to mention that she was also very curious about this matter.

"I, I have nothing. I live a normal life every day, eating and playing~" Sonoko blinked a little flusteredly, as if she had guessed what Xiaolan wanted to say, and answered Hiratsuka Shizuka's words with all her strength. At the same time, she turned her head and kept winking at Xiaolan.

"Sonoko texts with Kyogoku every day, and the day before yesterday she even dragged me to the mall and bought a ton of wool. I wonder what she'll do when she gets home!~" Without paying any attention to Sonoko's warning look, Xiaolan smiled and told him everything she had seen.

Xiaolan felt that there was no need to hide this from Shizuka Hiratsuka. It was something to be happy about. The always crazy Sonoko also started to have a boy she cared about, which made Xiaolan feel very interesting.

"Oh, so that's how it is." She nodded with a smile. It was obvious that Shizuka Hiratsuka had the same opinion as Xiaolan. However, compared to Xiaolan's simple relief and happiness, Shizuka Hiratsuka, as an elder, would not miss the opportunity to tease Sonoko while feeling relieved.

"I'm really sad. I've known Sonoko for over ten years, but I've never received anything hand-woven from her. Well, it seems like it's different when there's someone who cares about a boy. What do you think, Yukino?"

"Everyone said it, it's not true!"

"I don't know, but most girls would care more about their boyfriends." Shaking her head slightly, Yukino gave her answer calmly, but the slightly flashing look of interest in her eyes told Shizuka Hiratsuka that she was ready to cooperate.

"I told you it wasn't the case!"

"So you too, Yukino?"

"I don't have a boyfriend, or rather, I don't have any male friends, so I don't know." With a mocking smile on her lips, Yukino spoke decisively.

"And I don't think anyone is more important to me than Sister Jing!"

"Sister Jing is also very important in my heart!"

"Wow, I'm really touched!" Shizuka Hiratsuka touched the corner of her eyes with emotion, blinked, and glanced at Xiaolan who had been sitting next to her, watching the show with a smile.

"What about Xiaolan? What kind of person am I in your heart?"

"Aunt Jing is very important in my heart!" Xiaolan nodded with a smile, and ignored Sonoko whose face was gradually turning red. She followed the conversation between Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yukino very naturally.

"Compared to that kid Shinichi?"

"Of course Aunt Jing is more important!" Xiaolan smiled and nodded without any hesitation.

"What a good child." Nodding with satisfaction, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned her gaze back to Sonoko, who was blinking with a dazed look on her face.

"Yuanzi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"...Sister Shizuka! o(╥﹏╥)o" Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka pitifully, Sonoko, who was being toyed with by the three women, felt like she was really about to cry.

"Okay, okay, I was just teasing you, but you took it seriously?" Shaking her head in amusement, Shizuka Hiratsuka reached out and touched Sonoko's head.

"If Kyogoku is really the boy that makes your heart beat, then go after him boldly. Our Sonoko is no worse than any other girl in the world! There is no boy who won't be moved by you, Sonoko!"

"Although this may be a bit of an overstep, if the boy you like, Sonoko, really can't get your parents' approval, come to me!" Shizuka Hiratsuka gave herself a thumbs up and revealed a confident smile.

"I will definitely help you train the boy you like to a level where even your parents can't find fault with him, and then have him marry you in style!"

"Sister Jing!~" Her eyes suddenly turned red, and Sonoko rushed over excitedly and threw herself into Hiratsuka Jing's arms.

She knew that Shizuka Hiratsuka never broke her promise to them.

In other words, if she really decided to be with Kyogoku Makoto, and her family was not so easy to agree, Shizuka Hiratsuka would really try her best to help Sonoko fulfill her wish.

How could Yuanzi not be moved by this!

"Okay, you're such a grown-up girl, and you're still crying." Shaking his head in amusement, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't make any extra movements, but just gently patted Sonoko's back.

She knew very well that although Yuanzi was usually carefree, this was the first time she had really been in a relationship with a boy!

Although her family always told her that they didn't care about this or that, Sonoko was, after all, the second daughter of the Suzuki family, a wealthy tycoon in Japan with stable wealth.

Her other half has never been decided easily!

Although it has not been stated explicitly, Yuanzi has been under a lot of pressure these days.

She didn't dare tell her parents that she was sending emails to a boy every day, but she was not sure whether her parents really didn't know.

Although Xiaolan didn't ask more questions, her long-term friendship made her keenly aware that something was wrong with Yuanzi.

Being a sensitive person, she could guess a little bit just by thinking about it. That's why Xiaolan told Shizuka Hiratsuka about Sonoko in a joking tone at this time today.

She knew that after knowing this, Shizuka Hiratsuka would definitely choose to support Sonoko!

"Although I can't do more for you, it's great that we have Aunt Jing!" Xiaolan's eyes were a little sore. She took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.

"Everyone hasn't had lunch yet, let's go get some food together!"

"Well, I want to eat a full meal today!" After wiping his face, Yuanzi raised his head again with his usual smile on his face!

She knew that she no longer needed to be timid. Shizuka Hiratsuka was right. If you like someone, you should pursue them boldly! If you hesitate, you will get nothing!

"After school tonight, let's go sing together! It's my treat!"

. . .

"Huh, this girl Sonoko is really noisy." Twisting her neck, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the sky which had already darkened, and shook her head with a smile.

It can be said that Sonoko had a great time letting off steam today. Shizuka Hiratsuka felt that it was only because she was watching over her that Sonoko was in such a good mood that she would have ordered a few bottles of wine to get drunk.

"It's a good thing for Sonoko to vent the frustration in her heart." Yukino, who was following Hiratsuka Shizuka, nodded slightly and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky and said softly.

"Indeed, if you keep things in your heart, it will always make you sick." Shizuka Hiratsuka said lazily with her hands in her pockets, agreeing with Yukino very much.

"Come on, Yukino, I'll take you home."

"Ah."

Sitting in Shizuka Hiratsuka's car, the atmosphere between Shizuka Hiratsuka and Yukino was very good along the way.

Shizuka Hiratsuka listened to Yukino talk about some interesting things that happened in school during this period, and then asked some questions about Yukino's progress in learning about Qi. As time seemed to pass quickly, Shizuka Hiratsuka drove the car to the downstairs of Yukino's apartment.

"Then I'll get in, Sister Jing." After opening the car door and getting out, Yukino turned around, walked around the front of the car to the driver's window, looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka in the car and said softly.

"Well, go to bed early at night, and don't practice alone. If you have any questions, be sure to tell me. I, your sister Jing, have made great progress~" Nodding at Yukino, Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled very easily.

"Yeah, I know." Her eyes changed slightly, and Yukino pursed her lips. After a little hesitation, she couldn't help but speak.

"Sister Jing."

"Ok?"

"If I encounter the same thing that Yuanzi encountered in the future, will Sister Jing stand on my side?"

"Do I even need to ask? Of course I must~" Her eyes were slightly stunned. Although she was a little surprised, Shizuka Hiratsuka answered without any pause.

"Even if what I'm going to do is incomprehensible to many people."
