Ryun arrived at Tenten's house, and happened to run into Tenten who was just returning from her morning training.
"Eh, are you moving?"
Ryun told her the reason for coming to find her. Tenten immediately became excited.
"Staying at a hot spring hotel for over a month, that sounds really nice. Wait for me, I'll be right out."
In no time at all, Tenten, carrying a large stack of sealing scrolls, returned home with Ryun.
It was only afterward that Tenten realized Ryun didn't really have much to move.
The main things were just the most common items like the bed, desk, clothes, and writing materials, and so on.
"You live way too simply, don't you. Aren't you earning a lot of money now? Is it not enough to spend?"
"Do you want me to sponsor you a little, buy some new home appliances?"
Tenten proudly patted her flat chest. Now she was getting closer and closer to earning the title of Konoha's little rich girl.
"Alright."
Ryun did not refuse Tenten's kindness. Giving and receiving could increase their mutual affection more quickly.
"Then later, just buy whatever you see I'm missing. Tell me how much money you need."
Hearing this, Tenten, far from being dissatisfied at being given a task that also required spending money, was instead filled with motivation.
Her eyes shining, she looked over everything in Ryun's house, planning how she could satisfy both her own and Ryun's preferences at the same time.
As for what this meant, Tenten hadn't thought much about it yet, but she was already enjoying herself.
With Tenten's help, soon everything in Ryun's house was packed into scrolls.
Ryun simply called over the person in charge of the construction project and had him renovate the entire house.
After all, Sasuke had saved Ryun a large sum of money, so Ryun's finances were very comfortable now.
"Let's go."
Ryun and Tenten, each carrying a large stack of scrolls, walked towards the Kazamatsuri Hot Spring House, talking and laughing.
By the time the two of them had finished tidying up Ryun's room at the Kazamatsuri Hot Spring House, it was already 10 a.m.
"Ah, I'm exhausted."
Tenten stretched, lying spread-eagled on the tatami, muttering, "It's so nice, staying at a hot spring hotel every day. Being able to bathe in the hot spring every morning after waking up and before going to sleep, it's like a heavenly life."
This was the second time Tenten had said something like this.
With Tenten's financial resources, staying at a hot spring hotel every day wouldn't be a big problem, but as someone training in taijutsu under Guy, she definitely wouldn't allow herself such indulgence.
However, Ryun couldn't pretend he hadn't heard it this time. He said, "Then do you want to try out the hot spring here?"
"Eh!"
Tenten jumped straight up, looking at Ryun with surprise and doubt. Finding that Ryun was still organizing his materials and had only said it casually, she then relaxed.
She fidgeted, reaching a hand towards her ninja tool pouch, pulling out a small scroll from inside, but said with her mouth, "That's not good, is it? This is your room after all. You haven't tried it yet, have you?"
"Otherwise, you go first, and I'll go later?"
Ryun turned his head to look. Tenten was startled, hurriedly hiding her hand behind her back and clutching the small scroll, then pretending to admire the scenery in the room.
If his affection level wasn't high enough, Ryun probably would have said "why not go together."
For now, he could only say with a slightly teasing tone, "Don't worry, I don't think you're dirty."
"I'm not dirty. I'll obediently wash myself clean before getting in the water!"
Tenten replied indignantly, then seemed to realize something, her face turning red as she stepped forward and lightly punched Ryun.
Then, with cheerful steps, she rushed into the bathroom and locked the door.
The pleasant, pitter-patter sound of running water was clearly audible to Ryun without him needing to stop what he was doing.
An hour later, Tenten walked out wearing a yukata.
Tenten with her hair down had a soft beauty different from her usual liveliness. The steam rising from her body further accentuated her healthy, rosy skin.
"Ah, that felt good. I'm satisfied."
Tenten was very happy. She had brought her full set of hot spring bathing gear from the start, but had been worried about how to bring it up.
She hadn't expected Ryun to let her enjoy the hot spring first so easily. Overjoyed, she blurted out, "Your turn. After you finish bathing too, let's play table tennis!"
Only then did Ryun look back, crossing his arms and looking over the freshly bathed Tenten. He said, "I don't need to."
Tenten raised her eyebrows. "You're not really disgusted with me for being dirty, are you? I rinsed off carefully three times before getting in the water!"
Ryun shook his head. "I mean, if you alone are seen after bathing, it's still easy to explain. If both of us are dressed like this, then basically there's no need to explain."
"Listen carefully."
After Ryun finished speaking, he and Tenten both listened intently. The sound of little girls laughing and playing came from outside the door.
Tenten blinked her clear eyes, then her face flushed bright red.
If things really went as she had said, with Ryun also wearing a yukata and leaving the room with her to play table tennis, once their appearance was seen by others, news about the two of them would spread throughout Konoha before long.
After all, Konoha was just a small place with not many people.
Although Tenten didn't really mind others saying she was close with Ryun, it was clearly still a bit early for that.
"Well... then I'll go change clothes now."
Tenten pretended to be calm. Ryun comforted her, saying, "There's no need to be in such a hurry. You can change before we go for lunch. Besides, you look very cute like this. I'd like to look a little longer."
Such a direct statement left Tenten momentarily at a loss, not knowing what to say.
Fortunately, Ryun didn't continue to tease Tenten, but went back to his own tasks. Only then did Tenten relax.
She began to take care of her hair and prepare the clothes she wanted to change into as if she were in her own home, her mood gradually becoming cheerful.
Only, from time to time, realizing she was doing these things on Ryun's bed, her heart would always skip a beat.
Time passed minute by minute. Seeing it was almost noon, Tenten couldn't help but speak up first. She said, "I'm going to change clothes."
Ryun didn't turn his head. "Do you need my help to change clothes?"
Tenten threw a pillow, hitting Ryun on the back. Ryun still didn't turn around, making Tenten puff up her cheeks in anger.
She took a deep breath, then said, "Didn't you just say you liked looking at me? If you don't look now, the limited edition Yukata Tenten is about to disappear."
Only then did Ryun turn his head. Tenten also generously stretched out her arms and turned in a circle. Then, picking up her clothes, she rushed into the changing room. Before entering, she didn't forget to snort at Ryun.
Even Ryun didn't understand what she meant to express.
Maybe it was just purely venting the shyness in her heart?
A little while later, Tenten came out, generously walking over to Ryun and patting his shoulder. She said, "You treated me to the hot spring. I'll treat you to a meal. What do you want to eat?"
"Alright. But before that, I have something to give you. I wonder if you'll accept it?"
"What is it? Bring it out!"
Tenten spread out her hand.
