Chapter 188 Don’t you like the answer?

Facing the pitch-black ceiling, bright moonlight shines through the window, and the only sound around me is the faint chirping of insects in the grass outside.

Uchiha Obito blinked his eyes. He had just escaped from a lively conversation and now he was no longer sleepy.

"Why... do we have to go to bed so early?"

Uchiha Obito's voice was particularly loud in the silent room.

"Shh—Obito!" Haruko replied in a whisper, "Kakashi needs to go to bed early, let's not disturb him."

The blamed Hatake Kakashi showed his dead fish eyes that they couldn't see now, "I'm not asleep yet."

"Really? It's because Obito is too noisy."

"I just said one sentence!"

"You're so noisy with just one sentence, you're worthy of being Obito!"

Listening to her voice full of admiration, Uchiha Obito was not sure for a moment whether she was sincere or just being sarcastic.

Then everyone heard Uchiha Obito stand up angrily, be quiet for a while, and then lie down angrily again.

Everyone:?

As Uchiha Obito's translator, Haruko quietly read out the narration of his series of reactions for everyone, "Obito got angry and expressed his anger."

Uchiha Obito heard everyone say "Oh~" as they suddenly realized something.

Uchiha Obito:......

His face turned red, but fortunately hidden by the darkness, Uchiha Obito yelled in a frustrated voice: "Sleep!"

The surroundings became quiet again, so quiet that the faint snoring sound seemed unusually prominent.

Haruko was shocked, "Did Kakashi fall asleep?"

"...I'm not a pig, how can I fall asleep so quickly?" Hatake Kakashi was speechless.

"Who is asleep then?" Xi Ri Hong asked softly.

Haruko was eager to speak first, "Then let's call out the names, beautiful girls!"

Xihi Kurenai answered obediently: "Here!"

"Da Zhuang!"

Asuma Sarutobi closed his eyes deeply: "...Here."

"Linlin!"

Nohara Lin was curious: "So this is my code name."

"Mask West!"

Hatake Kakashi was full of questions: "Could this be me?"

"Explode the dirt!"

Uchiha Obito was puzzled: "Who is this Haruko?"

"It's you, Obito, isn't it?"

"How are they similar?!"

Uchiha Obito was about to seek justice for himself when he heard everyone say "hush" at the same time.

Uchiha Obito:......

Uchiha Obito shrank back into bed angrily and covered his head with the quilt, silently declaring that he was angry again.

Haruko ignored him and nodded carefully, "Since everyone is here, the one sleeping is... the tights?"

Hearing that they finally found out that it was Might Guy, Hatake Kakashi, who was sleeping next to Might Guy and suffering from the snoring attack, closed his eyes in pain.

He took back his words, these guys were so noisy!

……

I don't know when everyone started to feel sleepy and the room became really quiet.

Kakashi Hatake said he would go to bed early but he couldn't fall asleep. He was lying in bed, with Might Guy snoring on his right and Uchiha Obito kicking him on his left. Kakashi Hatake endured it again and again.

What finally broke his defense was that Uchiha Obito, who was mumbling inaudible words in his sleep, actually squirmed closer to him and kissed him on the face when he was completely unprepared.

...How can a man endure this? How can he not endure this?

Hatake Kakashi was furious, and he pushed the two idiots next to him back onto their bedding without any courtesy, then stood up and left the room.

Sitting on the edge of the room to get some fresh air, Hatake Kakashi quietly looked at the courtyard illuminated by the moonlight, and his resentment for being disturbed in his sleep gradually faded away.

"Kakashi?"

A vague voice came from behind him. Hatake Kakashi turned around and found that it was Haruko rubbing her eyes.

Haruko squinted her sleepy eyes and made sure it was him before she walked over and sat down next to him. "Have you evolved to the point where you wake up so early after going to bed early?"

"...Idiots, I couldn't sleep because they disturbed me."

Kakashi Hatake noticed that she was unsteady the moment she sat down, and subconsciously raised his hand to embrace her. Receiving Haruko's grateful smile, he withdrew his hand awkwardly.

"Why are you up?"

"Kakashi's resentment is too strong. I am a light sleeper and I was infected by it." Haruko teased.

Hatake Kakashi looked dead, "I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, I'm very generous!"

"..."

For a long time, neither of them spoke. They sat together and felt the quietness of the night.

Somehow, Kakashi Hatake suddenly asked her, "What do you think of Obito?"

"Obito?"

Haruko didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned Uchiha Obito. She turned to look at him, but met his profile.

Silently complaining in her heart that he was so rude for not even looking at her when he spoke, Haruko thought about it seriously and said affirmatively: "Obito is a walking wallet!"

"…I mean, his personality and stuff."

"Is that so, um... Obito is a good person?"

"..."

"You don't like the answer?"

"Can't you be more serious..."

"I'm serious, why does Kakashi think I'm not serious?"

"……never mind."

Seeing that he ignored her, Haruko curiously moved closer to look at him, but Hatake Kakashi turned his face away again, obviously looking sulky.

It's rare for Kakashi to get angry...

Although she didn't quite understand why he was angry, Haruko's many years of experience in soothing Uchiha Obito told her that she must coax the other person to talk at this time.

"Kakashi really likes Obito in his heart, right?"

"Who likes that idiot?"

"Why else would you ask him?"

"that is because……"

Kakashi Hatake turned around and met Haruko's face which was very close to him. The key point was that she still had a puzzled look on her face, as if urging him to continue.

His cheeks felt a little hot, and Kakashi Hatake quickly turned his head away, but he forgot that he was wearing a mask, and Haruko couldn't see his reaction at all.

Haruko, who didn't notice his abnormality, continued to ask, "Why?"

Hatake Kakashi couldn't stop feeling depressed. Why would he bother with this idiot? He replied perfunctorily, "Because I suddenly thought of him."

"Really?" Haruko's tone was full of doubt, but his question aroused Haruko's interest. "Then what does Kakashi think of me?"

Unexpectedly, she would ask him her own question. Hatake Kakashi glanced at her speechlessly and said, "You are an idiot."

"Kakashi really thinks everyone is an idiot. There is no reference value at all!"

"So what else do you want to hear? I like you?"

As soon as Hatake Kakashi said this carelessly, he froze up first. How on earth could he blurt out such a thing? !

A feeling of embarrassment and shame swept over him, but at the same time, why was he still looking forward to her answer?

Kakashi Hatake had no intention of exploring the matter now. He just stole glances at her cautiously, trying to observe her reaction, but found that she hadn't changed at all.

"No no no."

Although Haruko's usual attitude made him a little disappointed, he was relieved. However, he relaxed too early, and Haruko's next words made his heart stop suddenly.

"I already knew that Kakashi liked me."

Hearing the certainty in her tone, Hatake Kakashi repeated with a nervousness that he himself did not realize: "You knew it a long time ago?"

"Of course! Am I such a stupid person?" Haruko said confidently.

Hatake Kakashi quietly clenched his fists, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, but asked in a soft voice: "...What about you?"

"I like Kakashi too!"

Haruko gave him a bright smile, "And Rin and Obito, they also like you very much, so the four of us will always be best friends!"

"..." Hatake Kakashi wiped his face, feeling helpless and relieved.

He shouldn't have expected anything from this idiot!

Hatake Kakashi felt very upset, "Thank you so much."

Haruko was incredulous because she didn't expect this reaction from him. "Kakashi doesn't like this answer either?"

"You'd better stop talking."

Amid Haruko's frustrated sigh, Hatake Kakashi lost the mood to continue looking at the scenery. He stood up and held out his hand to her, "Let's go back to sleep."

Putting his hand on it, Haruko stood up under his force and followed him back to the room. But Hatake Kakashi did not let go of her hand, occupying this moment with a legitimate reason.

The star-speckled night bore witness to their receding figures, accompanied by the intimate sounds of their bickering.

"So what answer does Kakashi want to hear?"

"I don't want to hear anything."

"Then you still ask me!"

"You were the one asking me, weren't you?"

"…Kakashi is really hard to please."
