The first rays of the sun wakes Shang by shining on his face.

Shang: My head…

Shang wakes with a huge headache in a sitting posture.

Shang’s thoughts: Weird, I should be immune to being drunk.

That’s what every character thought so when they obtained poison immunity or gone through the practice of mithridatism.

Finding himself naked on bed, the first thing that Shang do is to search and wear his missing boxers after popping a spiritual pill to relieve his hangover.

Shang’s thoughts: Even if it is a hundred-year-old Enkouou Fruit Wine, my eight hundred-year-old martial body should be able to hold liquor at chinese immortal level.

While he ponders over this, Shang notices something different is mixed together with his heap of clothes.

Shang’s thoughts: I don’t remember wearing this color yesterday.

Shang thinks as he reaches out for the purple yukata.

Shang’s thoughts: It’s perfumed.

Shang can smell the fragrance as he brings the clothing up.

Shang’s thoughts: I only remember wearing a blue-colored Samue (Work clothing for Japanese Zen Buddhist monks) for that drinking party yesterday and the only one who wears a purple yukata would be....

A female voice from his side can be heard muttering from his side.

????: Elder… Stop it… I don’t think I can....

Shang:...

Slowly turning his head to the direction of the voice, Shang notice a blanket-covered and a short-haired feminine figure laying on his side.

Shang then slowly lays back on bed.

Shang’s thoughts: What have I done… Of all Narutoverse's women, I slept with her...

Some time in Shang’s kitchen…

Koharu whose short hair is unbundled, is sitting next to table, staring at the hot tea’s surface of her yunomi (Japanese ceramic teacup).

Koharu knows what had happened last night after waking up to find herself in such an embarrassing state. Her face is still red, recalling the scene she had with Shang.

About Koharu’s current thoughts. Shang has no idea but he knows Koharu need time to speak, so he focuses his mind at the kamado (a traditional Japanese stove) by watching the fire while cooking Okayu (Japanese rice porridge).

Koharu: I… You… We...

Koharu finally looks up to speak, stuttering while Shang is pouring the porridge into two bowls.

Shang: Yes.

Shang tells her the truth calmly while placing the porridge bowl in front of Koharu and the other one in front of him.

Koharu: Then...then… what should... should... we do... from now?

Shang’s thoughts: It’s kinda cute to watch her stutter.

Shang: What do you want to do from now on?

Koharu: I…

Koharu looks at Shang’s eyes for a while and then she looks back down on her teacup in red.

Shang’s thoughts: Looks like she still needs time...

After five to ten minutes of silence, the porridge is no longer steaming hot and no one is touching the food.

Shang:...Let's go with this then.

Koharu: Eh?

Koharu looks up after hearing Shang’s voice.

Shang: You need more time, right?

Koharu nods.

Shang: I can wait but…

Koharu: But?

Shang: Let’s live together for the time being, Koharu-chan.

Koharu nods before looking back down at her teacup in red.
