If you have concerns, I can switch to another gift. I also bought some food back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had actually been Anko who bought it. On the way back Anko had picked up a lot of local specialties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he gave some of those to Uchiha Mikoto, Anko wouldn't mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Mikoto suddenly widened her eyes and clenched the gift box tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made Aoba, who had meant to take the box back, freeze with his hand in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Mikoto glared at him, clearly angry, \"Gifts that have been given, you can't just take them back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba didn't dare argue; she rarely got angry with him, and now even her Sharingan seemed to be flashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only worried you might not like it, Aunt Mikoto.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could that be? Anything Aoba gives, I like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sharingan faded, and Uchiha Mikoto's face regained the usual gentle smile, as if the earlier anger had never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took the boy's hand and said softly, \"I will accept this gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba still felt a bit puzzled inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aoba, since you're here, why not stay and have dinner with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Mikoto held onto his hand, not letting go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba felt that if he even nodded a little, she might drag him in for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I still have things to do at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that you're going to give kimonos to other girls?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba felt the grip on his hand tighten a few degrees.

That way it won't be so rushed and I can help with preparations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Mikoto realized she hadn't expected him to visit and hadn't prepared much to serve. She nodded and released his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Aoba could say any farewell, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly leaned in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lightly kissed the side of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling Uchiha Mikoto's soft lips, Aoba was full of question marks, 'What does that mean?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FAmbitiousTranslator\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🥳Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.🥰 You can access upto 20 advance chapter through Patreon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1096,"2026-06-10T07:06:04.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","2dc9bd9d603d9c3ae7e50af8cb9a0cca8d4d5355b50b8bbc877a360ea7b74365","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-388","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-386",828,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-cover.jpg"]
