Chapter 1026: , Terumi Mei, who desperately wanted to join the harem

The intense feeling of complexity in her heart left Terumi Mei stunned in place for a moment, not knowing how to act.

As for Terumi Mei's thoughts, for Mizunuki Ryosuke, they were actually not hard to guess.

But compared to these personal matters, as the Mizukage, Ryosuke should explain the responsibilities of Kirigakure more.

The reason he had not directly pointed this out before was that he wanted to leave Terumi Mei some time to adapt during the Ninja World Summit.

Now that the summit had ended, it was time for him to explain this to Terumi Mei.

But looking at Terumi Mei's face right now, she didn't seem happy?

Mei's heart was filled with complexity at this moment; she could not clearly say whether the current emotion was joy or disappointment for her.

But there was one thing she could be certain of: compared to the confirmation of the Mizukage successor status, what she cared about more in her heart was another matter.

Thinking of this, Terumi Mei could not help but clench her fists.

Subsequently, she abruptly raised her head, looking straight into Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

Although Ryosuke noticed the change in Terumi Mei's demeanor, he still did not make any unnecessary movements, continuing to just quietly watch the Terumi Mei before him.

"Captain Ryosuke..."

"Perhaps what I say next will make you feel troubled."

"Even this topic shouldn't be brought up at this time."

"What I say next will also make you feel that I am very immature, but even so, I must say it out loud."

From her trembling voice, it was not hard to hear that the young girl's heart was not calm at this moment.

Even so, there was only indomitable perseverance in Terumi Mei's eyes.

Hearing Mei's words, Ryosuke did not say anything, still quietly watching Mei, as if waiting for what she would say next.

Seeing this, Terumi Mei no longer hesitated, but poured out the thoughts in her heart all at once.

"I don't know when it was."

"Perhaps it was in the Land of Cats, or perhaps it was at some other time."

"From that time on, I began to become incomparably concerned about one person."

"That person is you—the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Mizunuki Ryosuke."

Terumi Mei said loudly; this was the first time in her life she had addressed Mizunuki Ryosuke by his name directly.

As her voice continued to spread, Mei's expression at this moment also grew increasingly excited.

And on the opposite side, after hearing Mei's words, Ryosuke's gaze also grew increasingly deep.

"At first, I couldn't distinguish what kind of emotion this was."

"Was it trust in a partner, admiration for a superior, or a liking for the opposite sex?"

"Gradually, I began to understand one thing."

Terumi Mei's body was still trembling continuously; as she spoke, she lowered her head again.

The agitation of her emotions made her breathing become incomparably rapid; the sound of her violent heartbeat had almost pierced her eardrums, the sound as loud as passionate drumbeats.

But even so, she did not intend to stop.

"I like you."

"To the extent that in my eyes, in my heart, and in my head..."

"... there is only room for you alone."

"I know I am overestimating my capabilities, that this is like a moth flying into a flame!"

"But, but..."

As she spoke, Terumi Mei appeared somewhat choked with sobs. ===== CHAPTER 1028 =====
