This lunch made Uzumaki Minami and Yugito very happy. Uzumaki Minami had been staying at Kikyo Castle for half a year, usually eating Soldier Pills and instant food during the war. Even when there was no war, the food was just average.
Yugito was purely unconvinced. If she performed well, she could eat something nice, but if she performed poorly and, for instance, called Uchiha Yoichi 'H' or 'pervert' with a disdainful face, she would need to divide a bowl of ramen into two meals.
Today's lunch had many ideas from Uchiha Yoichi, like the hot pot, which originally didn't exist in the Ninja World, but it made Uzumaki Minami's appetite grow.
"It's so delicious, Lord Yoichi. Let's order from this place for lunch from now on."
Uzumaki Minami contentedly patted her small belly. Previously, neither she nor Uchiha Yoichi cooked; they always hired someone to cook at home. But this meal made her somewhat addicted, making her want to eat it every day.
"Minami, if you're thirsty, have a cup of tea."
Mikota smiled as she handed out a few cups of tea, even giving one to Yugito, who lowered her head slightly and said thank you.
"Thank you, Madam. Let me clean up the rest...."
Uzumaki Minami saw Uchiha Mikota bringing her the tea and wanted to go ahead and help clean up the mess on the dining table.
But Mikota gently smiled and refused, "It's okay, Minami. You just got back, so take a bit more rest."
"Ah...."
Uzumaki Minami felt something strange hearing Madam Mikota's tone. Isn't she the Clan Leader's Wife? Why is she so diligent in Lord Yoichi's house, even eating lunch together?
Like the mistress of the house....
This thought crossed her mind, and a suffocating feeling started to rise in Uzumaki Minami's heart.
After Mikota finished tidying up, she softly said to Uchiha Yoichi, "I'm heading out now. I have to spend some time with Itachi today."
Uchiha Yoichi nodded and said, "Alright, you can go."
Once Uchiha Mikota left, Uzumaki Minami eagerly sat beside Uchiha Yoichi, her cheeks puffed up in anger.
In the end, she didn't dare to ask about anything, like a suddenly deflated squirrel. She tugged at Uchiha Yoichi's sleeve and, with a slightly aggrieved tone, asked, "Lord Yoichi, why did Madam Mikota just now....."
Minami wanted to say that she took her place, but the words didn't come out. It felt like there was no place for her by Lord Yoichi's side. Previously, she mostly served as a subordinate, and even though she became bolder later, hugging Lord Yoichi before the mission for comfort, nothing substantial happened.
In her dreams, there was some progress, but it was just a dream.
Later, she was busy on the battlefield and knew nothing about the changes in the Uchiha Race. Although many Uchiha Clan members came afterward, they didn't know each other, so no one told Uzumaki Minami about clan matters.
This led to Uzumaki Minami not knowing that Uchiha Yoichi became the Clan Leader. She only knew that the supermarket and food district they just passed were created by Lord Yoichi.
"Heh..."
Yugito, holding a cup of tea, saw this scene and a smug, light smile appeared on her face. She wanted to see how the big pervert would handle this situation, for always disturbing her sleep earlier.
But Uchiha Yoichi directly turned his head and said to Yugito, "Go drink your tea in the room, or go to the courtyard."
"Hmph!"
Seeing Uchiha Yoichi not letting her watch, Yugito snorted lightly and got up to leave. Still, she took her teacup with her; the tea was quite good, making her feel warm after drinking it.
After Yugito left, Uchiha Yoichi didn't hide anything and told Uzumaki Minami about the recent events in the Uchiha Race, although they were somewhat sugar-coated. After all, saying out loud about PUA-ing the Clan Leader's Wife didn't sound good.
In short, the Clan Leader changed, but the Clan Leader's Wife didn't. He and Uchiha Mikota were together but not yet married, and Uchiha Fugaku defected and such.
After hearing this, Uzumaki Minami's mouth dropped open in disbelief. She didn't expect so much to change in the village in just half a year of her absence.
However, Uzumaki Minami didn't care about anything else. Upon hearing Uchiha Mikota and Uchiha Yoichi were together, she felt extremely upset and aggrieved, holding onto Uchiha Yoichi's clothes and not wanting to let go.
She kept repeating a sentence, "I was here first... should have never gone to the front line back then...."
"Lord Yoichi, what should I do...."
Uzumaki Minami looked at Uchiha Yoichi with puppy eyes, hoping he would leave Uchiha Mikota for her.
"Let's be together, the three of us, Minami. You know I'm a responsible person, and I won't let you go."
Uchiha Yoichi shamelessly said to Uzumaki Minami, yet he truly wouldn't let Uzumaki Minami leave. With her unique Chakra and physique, and after awakening Kagura Heart Eye and Vajra Seal, the Uzumaki Clan member Uzumaki Minami was deeply intertwined with Uchiha Yoichi since they met.
"Three, three people? How can that work.... Lord Yoichi, that's too perverted, how can that work...."
Upon hearing this, Uzumaki Minami was shocked, then pitifully shook Uchiha Yoichi's sleeve, hoping he would come up with another solution. She didn't dare ask, but hoped Lord Yoichi would say it proactively.
"Then which one is more perverted, being in a dark room or this?"
