Chapter 211 I’m Sick (Subscribe)

"When will a person feel that everything in front of him is like a dream?"

Lying alone in bed,

Ryosuke looked through the skylight in a trance, looking at the starry sky like the Milky Way in the sky.

It should be when he is ecstatic, unbelievable, or even terrified. Only when the emotions are infinitely expanded in an instant, will this kind of distrust between illusion and reality appear?

As soon as the doubts in his mind arose, he thought about it like asking and answering himself.

But sometimes there are some surprises, for example, if you drink too much water at night, you always have the idea that you should get up to go to the toilet at night before going to bed.

And when you wake up from your sleep the next day, when you sit on the toilet, you will unconsciously think whether you are dreaming now. If I go to the toilet now...

Then, people will use various methods to test whether they are dreaming,

For example, the simplest one is to bite yourself, let yourself feel pain, and let yourself feel "awake".

This kind of thing is very common. Ryosuke sometimes had similar situations in his previous life, treating reality as a dream, and then waking himself up through pain.

But it's a pity...this method doesn't seem to be useful to me now.

In front of him, the endless yet seemingly within reach starry sky made Ryosuke unable to help but stretch out his palm and bite the middle of his index finger hard again. This time he bit harder than the previous times, and the blood flowed straight from the wound into his mouth. The rust-like taste exploded in Ryosuke's mouth, but it didn't make him feel "real" at all. I don't know if such a sky is artificially created, and I don't know if the twinkling stars in the starry sky are ultra-high-definition cameras, or spotlights and the like, which are recording everything that happens here and transmitting it to someone, or even some people's eyes... Alone in the middle of the night, when the mind slowly clears the extra thoughts and intends to calm down and fall asleep, the crazy and twisted thoughts will emerge from the depths of the mind again and again, and no longer need specific emotions to appear. Maybe this is a movie called The Truman Show? Or... is it called Hackers from Another Dimension? I have seen similar film and television works echoing in my mind. Even if Ryosuke tried to suppress his thoughts, it didn't work at all. Based on the active ability of his own brain, he can clearly recall every fragment of his memory.

The advantage he once had has become a nightmare at this moment, repeatedly impacting his heart.

This world is actually fake,

I am actually fake, and a series of thoughts are eroding his mind bit by bit. These are all thoughts that have to arise, and some are based on his own experience. They should arise naturally.

"Forget it..."

With a sigh, Ryosuke sat up from the bed.

The flexible thinking that used to be has become a defect at this moment, but he has no way to make up for this defect for the time being, so he can only choose to escape.

Two ways,

One is to not let yourself have free time, so that you will naturally not think about it, and imagine some realms that you can't reach at present.

But he had no way to do this for the time being. Although his body and spirit had become extremely powerful in his transformations, they were not yet at the level where they could completely transcend the consumption of a living being. The body still needed to take in nutrients every day, and the spirit would also consume energy during exercise and thinking. This consumption needed to be restored through eating and sleeping, so it was basically impossible to stop himself from thinking about random things by not letting himself rest. And the other way... Dong Dong Dong. In a courtyard of the Hyuga inner house, the gentle knock on the door was very clear in the silent night. As a gentleman, Ryosuke naturally could not sneak into a girl's room in the middle of the night. He walked upright and sat upright, and he was not afraid of his shadow. But the next moment, Hinata's door opened a crack, and then an arm suddenly stretched out from inside and pulled him into the house. Ryosuke was pulled into the house without resistance, and then a familiar but stronger than usual woman's fragrance came to his nose, making him twitch his nose unconsciously. "Didn't I tell you not to knock on the door in the future?"

Inside the house, a dim yellow desk lamp provided extremely limited light.

However, Ryosuke had good eyesight. Through the dim light, he could clearly see the girl who was pulling his arm, with a blush on her delicate face.

Blushing, Hinata lowered her voice angrily, "What if my father and the others find out!"

Ryosuke looked at her helplessly, "...You are my wife, even if they find out, it doesn't matter."

Hinata's room had the same layout as his, but the interior decoration and placement were completely different.

Compared with his simple style, Hinata's room was filled with many documents and scrolls to be processed, but it was obviously more lively.

Puffing up her face and pouting her lips, Hinata was puzzled that he had no shame at all.

But soon, she muttered again, "Why, can't you sleep again?"

"Yeah."

Ryosuke nodded, "I don't know why, I have been suffering from insomnia recently."

While speaking, his eyes were fixed on the girl who was close to him.

The moment he saw her, all the random thoughts in his mind had long since disappeared like a passing cloud.

Or perhaps it was a habit that he unconsciously developed under Hinata's gentle massage.

Beside her, Ryosuke could always calm down and not think about those questions that could drive people crazy.

"Hmph...excuse!"

Hinata muttered in a low voice, but still walked into the inner room with a brisk pace.

Ryosuke also walked towards the inner room and followed her.

In the inner room, on the soft big bed,

two pillows that made people want to close their eyes and rest their heads on them were lying there obediently, waiting to be oppressed,

and among them, the pillow he had been using was slightly wrinkled, as if it had just been ravaged.

Casually moving his eyes away, Ryosuke did not stay on this aspect for long.

Hinata had already taken off her slippers and got into bed, yawning, "I'm sleepy, can you not come over so late next time? You always wake me up when I finally fall asleep."

He didn't ask her why she opened the door so quickly if she was already asleep, Ryosuke got into bed very skillfully and lay beside her, "Then I'll come earlier next time."

Hinata covered half of her face with the quilt and replied in a muffled voice, "Forget it, you still have to wait until father and the others fall asleep..."

While she was talking, she leaned towards Ryosuke.

Although they had not yet officially married and based on the more traditional rules of the Hyuga family, they did not make any further progress,

but they were covered with the same quilt, and the thin pajamas could not block the heat from each other.

The occasional touch of arms, palms, and thighs made both of them feel a little instinctive heat in their hearts.

Turning sideways, Ryosuke turned his head towards the direction where Hinata was lying.

"Why don't we get married earlier? There are many people in the village who get married at our age. My father..."

Before he finished speaking, Ryosuke was covered by Hinata who also turned sideways.

She stared at him with her eyes wide open, "Sleep!"

"Okay."

Ryosuke replied smoothly, closing his eyes directly.

Although his eyes were closed, his palms slowly pressed forward to press her shoulders and squeezed her towards him.

He didn't feel comfortable until he adjusted her to a relatively comfortable position.

In order not to worry his family, Ryosuke did not tell his family what happened recently.

In front of his family, he always behaved normally.

With Hinata around, Ryosuke was able to suppress this unstable mental state very well, as if because she existed in this world, he would not think that this was a false world.

A week passed quietly, but Shanks did not come as promised.

And he not only missed the scheduled time, but also extended it for a long, long time.

However, Shanks had someone pass on the news to Konoha about this situation. The reason was, of course, that he had not reached an agreement with the Saki family or the nobles of the Land of Fire.

It seemed that they did not believe that he would return to their side after leaving, so the nobles of the Land of Fire were always unwilling to let him go.

And they were very clever in involving Shanks, specifically starting from his character.

After finding out that he was a man who valued his promises, they kept using this as an excuse to retain him,

and not with a tough attitude, but with a humble attitude or even a request, hoping that he could fulfill his promise, that is, to pass down the swordsmanship before leaving.

Facing a tough enemy, Shanks could act without scruples,

facing a sinister coercion, he could also decisively fight back,

but facing this weak and reasonable request, he had no way to refuse it, even though Shanks knew in his heart that these people's humility was all fake.

Because the agreement with the nobles of the Fire Country came first, and the meeting with Ryosuke came later, he could only send a message, saying that he might be delayed for a while, and the specific time of the meeting needed to be discussed later.

"Those nobles are too wishful. Although the cultivation system of the other world is a new path, it is not so easy to walk on this road."

Forced to extend the meeting with the top powerhouse of another world, Ryosuke was not anxious, but Hinata Hiashi was a little angry.

He really hoped to help identify the types of devil fruits collected by the clan through the other party's vision, so as to better distribute them as rewards to the clan members in need and improve the combat power of the clan.

But now it's good, it's delayed again, and it's not known when the specific time will be set.

"The Navy Six Styles that Bruno has mastered are only the middle level in the other world system, but even so, there are still many people in our family who cannot reach the standard of practice and still need to work hard to improve their physical fitness."

In the family's ceremony hall, Hyuga Hiashi said with a cold face, "Those nobles are so good that they even want those samurai retainers to master abilities stronger than the Navy Six Styles. Are they dreaming?"

The difference in strength and status between Bruno and Shanks represents the different upper limits of the two.

This also means that the ability that Bruno can reveal is definitely not as good as Shanks, but the standard of practice will definitely be more difficult.

"Not necessarily. I heard from Xingcai and the others that the nobles were asking about the sword system in another world."

Sitting on one side of the long table, the white-haired elder of the Hyuga Yuichi clan replied: "Since it is sword, then those warriors who are not outstanding in our world also have some good skills."

"If the sword of that pirate world is not much different from the sword of our world, maybe they really have a chance to comprehend or understand it."

Sitting next to Hyuga Hiashi, the elder with the highest seniority in the clan also spoke slowly, "Hiashi, don't underestimate the world."

He spoke slowly, but very steadily.

"I heard that Ryosuke thinks highly of Shanks. When it comes to learning, students are important, but so are teachers."

"If Shanks really goes far in kendo, perhaps... the little bit he reveals will be enough to bring about a huge change in the samurai system of this world."

"Sorry, I was impulsive."

Hinata Hiashi did not hold back for the sake of the clan leader's face. Among the people present, except Ryosuke and Hinata, they were all his predecessors, so he admitted his mistake very straightforwardly.

"Actually... I do have an idea."

At this time, Ryosuke, who was sitting at the end of the long table with Hinata, raised his arm, "If possible, I would like to go to Saki Castle."

"Since Shanks is forced to leave the Saki family for the time being due to his commitment, why don't I visit him."

"Too dangerous!"

As soon as Ryosuke finished speaking, someone among the elders raised an objection, "Ryosuke, we all know that your combat power is very strong, and it is no longer limited to the term ninja, but..."

"After all, he is from another world. There is no guarantee that the guy will not come to the appointment. In fact, he also has the purpose of luring you over."

"Yes!"

Another elder, Hyuga Na, also seemed to be suddenly aware, "It is possible that this guy pretended to give us the right to choose the time and place, pretending to be generous, confusing us to let down our guard."

"But in fact, he has no intention of keeping the appointment at all, but wants to take over the nobles of the Land of Fire to lure us to take the initiative!"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this statement was correct.

"Yes, yes, yes, I also think there is such a possibility."

"Ryosuke, let's wait for him in Hyuga."

Many of the elders nodded in surprise,

Even Hyuga Hiashi, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned and thought deeply about this consideration.

As a top powerhouse in another world, and holding the top power, they didn't believe that the other party would be such a generous person.

At least in their ninja world, those who can hold high positions are all people with deep scheming, so they are more willing to think deeply about Shanks's purpose and think about the worst.

"Don't worry, I am still very sure about this matter."

But unfortunately, Ryosuke smiled and shook his head, always insisting on his own opinion.

He is in Hyuga, cherishes Hyuga, protects Hyuga, and loyally hopes that Hyuga can grow with him, but this does not mean that he will be bound by Hyuga.

Although there is no such rule on the surface, in fact, Ryosuke has the highest right to speak in the clan, higher than the clan leader Hyuga Hiashi, and he has the ability to veto all proposals.
