However, he was caught by the girl's guilty look on her face as she lowered her head, savoring her ice cream.
"Don't worry, I'm just kidding." He looked at her in disbelief. When I asked you to take a seat, I texted a friend my reasons why he wasn't going today.
"Did you tell him about me?"
—Well… Not exactly… I said something else as a reference to something that happened yesterday in class. Nervous at his comment, he went on to savor his ice cream.
-Something happened?
“N-Forget it, it's not important right now.
Boruto couldn't tell her about his painful moments from yesterday at his own school; from receiving all kinds of attacks by his sensei, falling ill to almost dying in the middle of the exam and as if that were not enough, his nurse was hinting at him.
Things like that he would prefer to leave to himself, and more to a girl he was barely getting to know.
—Continuing with what was before, this place is a huge city where there are only schools for all ages, depending on whether they have the necessary requirements.
"And those would be?"
—Well, the most normal ones are that you have an average of at least seventy points. In the greatest of cases better ninety points. She continued looking out the shop window.
Uzumaki never lacked average, since that was one of the qualities most highlighted by those who knew him. Those years in which his mother educated him at home served a lot, plus there was a season in which he felt bored and motivated after spending his 8 years.
"And what would be the other conditions?"
"The last condition to enter." He paused briefly, looking at some of the students passing by. That would be that you have managed to have your Gift .
"Your gift?" What's that?
—Basically, that you have passed through your Awakening stage , the moment in which you are getting your Gift , Those people who get to have it, are easily accepted and allow them to enter a school here much easier 'ttebasa.
"I understand." The girl seemed much more satisfied with Boruto's explanation, but her face returned to a worried one. But, I still don't know what your gift is...
"In easy terms, it would be supernatural abilities," Boruto said. But of course, they are not abilities that are created as if by magic or without explanation, but rather through the branch of science.
"So those abilities were given thanks to scientists by experiments?"
The young woman's speculations brought a smile to the Uzumaki's face, as if he was seeing a little girl fully understanding things more advanced for her brain.
He did not consider her to be a fool or naive, but since she was someone who did not remember much, several factors were integrated that she had to take into account when explaining. And now, here she was, believing in things beyond her capabilities.
"No, nothing like that." A small laugh began to form on her lips. It was a long time ago in an accident, in which nobody noticed it in time in this same city years ago. There were exposures to a phenomenon, which was the trigger for research with the genetic change that came and from there it was concluded that our entire body can develop abilities; such as telekinesis, throwing fireballs, generating heat by controlling your temperature, having superhuman strength, talking to animals, etc. It's all done with science. That is why that phenomenon is called as Awakening into which one enters. You awaken the new human evolution.
"Now I see it very complicated, but I think I already get it." He barely smiled, looking carefully at his ice cream and then looking at Boruto expectantly. Uzumaki-kun, what skill do you have? What is your gift?
As soon as he heard that, Uzumaki swears he missed something at that moment. He didn't know very well what it was, whether it was her pride, the girl's good impression —which he was about to lose—, her hopes, the patience of being with this girl, etc.
The only thing he would like now was nothing more than to go to his apartment and lie down in his bed to sleep. She hopefully she might wake up and find out that everything that's going on is just a bad dream.
He didn't hesitate to lower his ice cream to the table, while looking the other way with a gloomy look and sorrow without leaving aside his smile.
“I have no ability. -She said.
-Hey? How?
Just listening to the tone of the girl's voice, it was more than clear that his expectations had been lowered to such an extent that he doubted that he was still expecting something great from him.
—I said… that I don't have any Gift… —he kept looking away without looking at her face out of pity and annoyance.
—Oh…
That was all Boruto could hear from her after what she said. He was sure she meant to cheer him up, that awkward silence he introduced was an indication of that. However, what was clear was that it was better not to bring it up again for the rest of the day. He didn't want to be reminded of her worthlessness just yet, least of all in the presence of a girl he didn't know.
๑๑๑
Since Uzumaki wasn't going to go to school today, he dedicated it to just being with the girl in some parts of the city that he frequented the most.
He wasn't sure if it had been a good idea, since it still wasn't fully resolved who had attacked her to end up in the garbage and with a serious injury.
She was afraid that the culprit would recognize her and then come for her to finish the job she didn't do. Although, it was lucky that none of that happened.
Both of them had spent their time seeing each of the parts of the city, even the uncontrollable stores that can be seen, but of course, nothing else to see and not touch, since if that were the case, Boruto's wallet would start screaming with bad feelings.
At the end of it all, Boruto's purpose in wanting to take a walk to many places with the mysterious girl Sumire, is to come up with a place that she has been and that would come to his mind once he saw them in person.
There was no result to his bad luck, but he kept doing it anyway.
In addition, he took advantage of this opportunity to teach him more about the surroundings and the city itself. She was definitely like a child with everything she saw, as if she was seeing it for the first time in her life.
She regretted that she couldn't buy him any other food like snow, but her economic status was in great danger right now.
At the end of it all he got some progress so that she wasn't so lost, but at the same time he didn't get anything on the subject of her amnesia. She knew that this was only going to be the beginning, but she didn't stop feeling it like an eternity.
They both arrived back at Boruto's apartment, however as soon as he arrived there was nothing but a wind and a temperature well below 15 degrees, this was too sudden for him.
"It can't be... I'm coming back?!"
In an unexpected way the light and everything electronic was working again, which was a great event for this day, however, his good mood ended when the questions began in his head; When did she come back? Had the weather been on for a long time? How much would you have to pay for it?
Again his trembling body was feeling not only the cold weather, but also the terror of the payment he would have to make now that everything was turned on.
He quickly started pacing around the apartment to turn off some things, and although there weren't many, he decided to do it because of the nerves he had right now.
In the end he managed to fall on his back in the room that was his bed that at the same time was his living room. Uzumaki was in an unfavorable and problematic experience that he wanted to end already.
On the other hand, the young Sumire was in the middle of the entrance of the apartment as she approached the worried boy. She had never seen him move at such a speed, which impressed her.
"Are you alright Uzumaki-kun?"
"I-I'm fine... You don't have to worry about anything..." Uzumaki answered between his ragged breaths. Although, the only bad thing is having to clean the whole place afterwards.
Now that he mentioned it, Uzumaki had never cleaned his room properly for two days due to distractions, and he followed him, but with the difference that his distraction is a girl. He didn't know if he should take that last as something good or bad, but whatever the answer, the result was going to be the same.
The best he could do was wait until tomorrow to clean up. She had experienced a very busy and troubled day, almost at the level of a babysitter, but at least she was able to survive.
"I guess I should get dinner ready." You must be very hungry by now, right?
"Well, I haven't eaten very well since you saved me," she said sadly, her head fixed on the bed. And where will you go to sleep? I guess you're going to sleep in your bed.
"That's the idea, but it wouldn't be the right thing to do in these situations." She looked at him with a smile. You can sleep in my bed, and I'll go to sleep on the floor.
Looking at her face, she didn't seem very happy with the decision he made regarding her sleeping place. As much as she would like to sleep in her bed, she had to be responsible for it, and that was in offering good comfort to a guest, and more so to one she saved from her.
—Don't look at me like that, remember that you are only going to be here for a little while until we know how to help you remember 'ttebasa.
“W-Well, that's true. Sumire said with her head lowered.
"Don't make that face anymore, okay?"
Right after that, Uzumaki grabbed the TV remote to turn it on to a channel he already had since before he had kept it on last time.
The astonished face of the young violet-haired girl reflected emotion and a good impression on the device they call television. Sometimes if she was very moved by the innocence of this girl who was in her apartment.
"By the way, forgive me in advance." He looked at her with a nervous smile, beginning to feel a certain contempt for her skills, which were so secondary in his life. I don't know how to make much more than just 'ttebasa curry.
His comment took the girl by surprise without looking away from him.
It could be said that it was something that she herself did not expect. Obviously, if a young man of more than acceptable years was living alone, he would have to at least know how to cook very well. But the reality was more than cruel for the Uzumaki.
“Hehe… It doesn't matter. I don't know what it is, but as long as it tastes good and made for you, you don't have to worry, Boruto-kun.
"So now you call me by my name and with an honorific…" He was very impressed by how much this girl was beginning to communicate well, despite the fact that they had only been meeting for a day. Don't you think you're being too trusting with a stranger?
"It's weird... I don't know very well." I don't know the concept of "Kun", but something tells me that I should speak that way… It's weird… —she said thoughtfully—. However, I don't care much, since you're the one who saved me.
He had once again commented on something interesting, however he didn't have the energy to dwell on this subject of honorifics.
On the other hand, she was right, that she had a lot of respect for him. Although, he saved her and she had reason to trust him, but also much more reason not to. He was just a stranger, so she shouldn't blindly trust someone just to be saved.
“Even if I saved you, it doesn't change the fact that we're still strangers who met today 'ttebasa. -She said.
"Well, maybe I want to say your name to gain more confidence."
"I wouldn't deny it, but I think you're taking quick, blind steps." Uzumaki looked at her carefully through closed eyes. He ended up sighing in defeat. We can start to get along very well when we know better who you are. Do you think it's OK?
There was no need for her to say a word. Just seeing her nod, Boruto decided to end the talk and continue to start making dinner.
Yes, there was a lot he didn't know about the girl, but that didn't mean that he really wanted to keep his distance from her, on the contrary, he wanted to be closer to this girl.
He wanted to be her friend and get along, but he couldn't just casually do it, since she might be anything but innocent now. Not until I know if she really is someone dangerous or not.
"Hm... I'm really hungry..."
He heard Sumire say it quietly, but he could hear her from the kitchen, which was very easy since she was stuck in the same room.
Glancing at her he managed a smile at the little quirk of his hungry stomach.
By now she understood that the only danger that she could present living here in her apartment, is nothing more than the fear that she might run out of food now that she will have to feed an extra mouth.
" I really wonder if I really made the right decision..."

To be continue…
A/N: Bringing another update, which I had time to post here today. I hope you liked this next chapter. This time I wanted to give a bit of context to how the world the characters are in is working. Sumire just said something very strange, maybe nobody noticed it, however it will be key for later. In addition, I also wanted to take this chapter as an introduction to certain things or concepts that she will give for later in the future.
That's all for now, and I'll know when I'll update the next chapter. I already have this arc finished, but I still need to review some things to get them out for you.
We read until next time!
Sayo!

Commonly when it is Saturday, one gets to feel all the weight that had accumulated throughout the week. At that point that weight is declining as soon as the whole stage of the morning passes, but on the other hand, Uzumaki did not get that feeling.
Despite the fact that only the morning hours had passed, I did not stop feeling all that accumulated weight, but not exactly because of the week that passed, but because of the last two days that had passed. Specifically it was more about finding the mystery girl he had in her apartment now.
I had no idea who he was or where he came from. The information from her couldn't even get it out of her, as she had amnesia issues. It was a dead end.
The only thing she could do now was just help him little by little to recover his memory. The only problem she had with that is not knowing what to do. The only thing she could do yesterday was just show him some places in the city, but nothing else.
Right now he was in a public telephone service on the street, waiting for the call to be answered. Once in a while he cast his eyes on the girl, who was sitting on a park bench.
She greeted him from afar, she seemed to be in a good mood today. Uzumaki sometimes took her for a carefree girl with little interest in things that would be involved with her. She supposed that maybe she was enjoying the moment.
The time to contemplate the girl sitting in the distance ended as soon as he heard the voice of the person who was answering his call on the other end.
—¿Boruto?
—H-Hello mother, I am very happy to hear your beautiful voice 'ttebasa.
—…
—¿Hola?
— What did you do?
-And me? She," she snapped at her mother's statement, while she tried to keep her calm a bit. I-I haven't done anything. I am very well and everything is very well.
“ If everything is fine, then there would be no reason to call me, right?
—N-It has nothing to do with the other…
“ Also, aren't you being nice?
"Haven't I always been?"
— More than usual, Boruto.
He knew very well that up to this point he could make a positive impression on his mother. There was no way to continue with the false innocence of his, and more through by call.
In the first place, she never thought of doing this to solve a part of her problems, but she needed to get out of this once and for all, and she couldn't think of any other way than to tell her mother directly.
"Yes, you're right…" he admitted with difficulty and sorrow, looking sideways at the girl who was sitting in the distance. To tell you the truth, I was wondering if you could help me with something that only you can 'ttebasa.
— Does it involve something serious?
"You could say so…" he laughed in between the conversation, scratching his head embarrassedly. More specific… Money.
" You don't have anything anymore?!
"It was for an emergency!"
Uzumaki confessed much more hastily, before sermons came out of his mother's mouth again that would be impossible to counter.
He had no choice but to spend what was left in his wallet, taking into account that the electricity was absent and he had no choice but to buy from outside.
—I had to use it a lot!… I had to use it to invite someone.
" Have you got a girlfriend yet?!"
-No, not that! He replied annoyed with a reddened face. She is a girl, yes. But he had to help her with a problem she was having, and it involved injuries… Now I'm on the pharmacy look, so…
" Huh... You really don't stop being the same Boruto, do you?"
-Sorry?
— You always like to be the hero..., or think you are... You never stop getting into trouble just for that. For that very reason you never stopped wanting to want your Gift to manifest.
—…
" Well, I guess it can't be helped that you're like that... You always wanted to be like your father, right?"
Boruto looked at the ground, thinking about his mother's words as he loosened his hand a little where he was holding the phone in the cabin. For a moment, his hand would regain its hardness, then hang up.
Something in him had wanted to go back again and take his own ways of doing things and solve everything.
No, right now he didn't want to let his proud side take over. He always held back from helping people, since he would rather solve them himself. But…, did he have the right to think about that?
Uzumaki Boruto had been yesterday about to let someone else manage to help the girl he had in the distance waiting for him. Perhaps a part of him was still doubting whether she was capable of good deeds.
He wondered if he doubted his ability because of the lack of his Gift. Could it be that if she had him, he would really help solve Sumire's problem? Saying and thinking was so simple, but she still didn't know if she could pull it off. She didn't even have a Quirk to help her.
He had no choice but to ask his mother for help with this. If there was anyone who had a big good heart, it was her mother.
-Can you help me? She asked trying to divert a little the subject that was being focused on by her mother.
There was a short silence after the other end of the call. Nothing out of the ordinary could be felt, but when a few seconds passed, a sigh was heard. It was more than clear that it belonged to his mother.
- Stop doing some things. Then I'll send you an amount of what you can occupy .
— Are you safe?
— You are my son, and the only thing I can do now is trust you and your judgment. I'm not going to judge you if you spend things to help someone, but try to be more careful in spending it.
-Yes that's fine. I understand.
She didn't think much about how things would turn out if her mother wasn't going to accept her help, as she was normally very strict about being more responsible.
It was all due to the above mentioned that she did. He wasn't quite sure how she must feel directly, but he more than agreed that he wasn't entirely comfortable with it.
A short time later, Uzumaki had managed to exchange a few more words with his mother, regarding how or where he would receive the money.
Fortunately, he received nothing but good wishes from her.
She wanted to pass the phone to her younger sister to talk to him, but she had had a bad time calling, since she hadn't been home. She had gone out with her friends, which made the Uzumaki a bit amused.
There was no deeper and less significant feeling than being unhappy not being able to talk to his sister. It's not like he'd end the world for not doing it, but he kind of wanted to, since she always bothered to text him almost every day.
His sweater really stunk a bit, and he was sure his sister's stunk too. For many things they were polar opposites, but sometimes like this the two were the same. They enjoyed it just as much when they lived together.
In the short time after, Boruto had already finished his business with his mother, not taking long to hang up the phone in the cabin and return to where the violet-haired girl was.
"How did it go?" She asked interested in the boy's response.
It had sounded very nosy to Boruto, but not so much as to take it as a bother.
—Everything went well. He told me that the money will come to me later in cash.
"Oh, that's good, isn't it?"
"Yeah, I guess." He debated it a bit, but he didn't complain much, since it didn't convince him that way. Anyway, why don't we go now?
-As soon? I thought we were going somewhere different than yesterday.
"Sorry, but in case you didn't know. Where I study they give us something that makes us waste time when we are on the weekend.
-Something? He thought for a while with a finger on his chin in an innocent and clueless way. Do they give you gifts?
—Could be considered gifts, if the Sensei who gave them was bad, but no.
—¿…?
-Task.
๑๑๑
Weekends at home become a holy blessing for believers in religion —whether for the word or something else in particular—, this was due to the long hours of rest that some highly prestigious student can have, yes, something prestige as many make them call.
As Boruto had recalled, in many of the most recognized schools of this great academy city, most of them have high levels of learning, which gives many days off for them, since they hardly need much to leave with homework for two days. of rest that supposes a weekend. Life makes it easy for them to have a Gift for anyone in those schools.
The misfortune of not having something like that in this city was something he didn't particularly like, so the part where he had to do chores for his Sensei wasn't too much of a problem for him.
Homework helped him take his mind off a lot of what was going on out there.
When he thought about that, Uzumaki wasn't aware of the change he had undergone now that he remembered it; he missed school one day and in such a regrettable way, his luck was affected until it became the situation he found himself in.
—How unlucky… Is my Sensei seriously upset for having missed only one day of class?
He didn't count on Senju Tsunade's anger for not going to class yesterday, giving him more work to do.
When he thought he had solved the problem with the money issue, which was possible thanks to his mother, but another one had come to take his place.
"So you're going to sit there the rest of the day doing homework?" the girl asked sadly.
"Yes, of course." Without taking his eyes off his writing in the notebook. We don't have much to do other than do what they tell us to pass.
"Is it difficult for you to solve it?"
"Sometimes yes, but most of the time it's easy," he answered, pausing for a moment for fear of the small trace of the hand for a cramp. I've already had a few years of home study after the age of 8, so I'm a bit more advanced 'ttebasa.
"Mmh... I guess that's what got you into Academy City, right?"
"Yes, that's right." The rhythm of his writing slowed down little by little until he was looking at his notebook. "Why did what she said just now make me seem somewhat less than almost everyone in this town?"
He'd had a bit of a problem with his self-esteem, but Uzumaki wouldn't go down too quickly. That's his way of thinking as he did what he was supposed to do, and he went on with what he was writing.
Sumire was already more than amazed by the Uzumaki's concentration on his schoolwork, so she decided to observe him for a period of time.
As the hours passed there was silence in the room, and then there was noise on the television that concentrated more on watching the girl. Not that it was too boring to see young Uzumaki doing his usual thing, but he wanted to know more about things through television.
He wanted to believe that some clue of who he was would be in some of the programs or in one of the many channels. Unfortunately there was nothing that I can recognize.
Boruto glanced at her once in a while for the silence she was giving, and he did the same for his tasks. He was content just to see her not say something to throw him off, yes, that's what he now admired about her, knowing when he shouldn't interrupt something.
As soon as 5 o'clock passed, he already took a breath to have enough energy to continue with the next thing, but he knew that if he took too long to rest, it would be very likely that he would drink more than he should until the end. point of doing nothing.
" Well, I guess I'll take about ten minutes." She psyched herself up, looking at the clock out of the corner of her eye.
It didn't make much difference when he'd last seen the time. Only about 23 minutes passed, but watching it too much would only feel like time slowed down a bit.
It had been a while since he hadn't heard anything from Sumire, however, as soon as he thought of checking on her to see how she was doing, she immediately stood up from the bed while having a slightly tired and lost look.
"Is something wrong, Sumire-san?"
"Er... Boruto-kun, can I come out?" She looked doubtfully into his eyes.
-Something happens? -I ask-. Is it that you were interested in buying something from television?
"N-No, nothing like that." Just... I'd like to take a walk, that's all. I think maybe it will refresh my memory. -She said.
—Well, I don't have a problem, but I don't know if you can have it 'ttebasa.
He had his doubts. She would be lying if she said that letting her walk calmly through the streets would be a good idea, since she wasn't sure if the person who had given her that injury was going to be there when she found her.
Also, she had amnesia. A girl with such a problem walking alone on the street is not something to be given up lightly.
Yet this, too, must be something he and she must take advantage of. If there's one thing the two of them should take into account, it's that she has to do things on her own. She wouldn't want Sumire to be depending on him all the time.
-Don't worry. I already familiarized myself with the route to get here,” Sumire commented with a proud smile. I will try to go to the places where there are people.
She looked at him with a smile. Boruto looked at her for a few moments, and although he noticed something strange in that face, he did not want to distrust the girl's words. If she said she was going to be careful, then she would be.
He was glad that she was becoming aware of the dangers that might be out there. Still, that concern was gone and she was still there.
-Wait.
He got up from the floor, walking to go to one of the drawers that had his bed underneath. In it he took out a small object which he handed to Sumire in her hand.
The girl's gaze was confused, but also shocked by what Boruto had given her. Although she was still more or less distant from the limited knowledge that she had right now about things, it was difficult for her to know what she gave him.
“This is a visitor's pass. They are used when a person from outside comes to Academy City 'ttebasa.
"And what do I do with this?" she asks without taking her eyes off the little card.
"You can use it to talk to a police officer if you have a problem," he commented, looking into her eyes. Give it to them and they'll call me here, since it has my phone number on the card.
-I understand, thank you very much.
He made a small bow towards Boruto until after turning around to go towards the door of the apartment.
He still had his doubts, Uzumaki, but trusts that she can stand on her own right now. She had to, or she was never going to get better at having the memories of her that she doesn't have.
As the door closed, silence returned in the apartment until only he was left, although apart from him, the little noise that there was was that of the television that was still on.
"Well, I guess I'll go eat one of the popsicles I bought the day before yesterday."
๑๑๑
It had already hit 9 pm and he was already halfway through his school work.
Every time he thought about it, his hope was becoming more inflatable, but time was also beginning to slow down, so he wanted to concentrate on what he was doing with more pressure.
“Really, I definitely won't miss a day of school on the weekends again. The Uzumaki said with annoyance.
After having finished one of the many paragraphs he had made after finishing making a summary, he looked curiously at the television to find out what he was wearing, since nothing had changed from the last time he changed.
Of course, the person who had done it was Sumire. That same girl who had gone for a walk, but she still hadn't come back. This alerted Boruto a bit to the point of wanting to go out looking for her.
He had given her exact explanations of what he would do if he was in trouble, but there was no sign in the next few hours that passed after his departure, so he trusted her safety and that everything was fine.
However, worry continued to fan the flames in his chest; that guilt of leaving her alone while he continued with her things, however, he was not to blame for her. If she, someone else, or another judged him for it, he would be right with her.
Despite all he can say, the only person who would be judging him for not going out with her to help her and only being home to put his homework on top of a girl's safety, would be himself.
She had promised to help him, and as annoying as this was, he really meant to help. Although, he didn't know if it was because of his sense of justice in giving a hand to whoever needs it... Is it that he felt guilt for not accompanying her, or because he was betraying her ideas?
He began to doubt if he was really giving effort for someone he doesn't know just to help her, or if it was for him to feel good about himself.
What did he want to prove by helping that girl?
Her mother's conversation on the phone came to her mind. Some of her thoughts of hers had reflected in the words she had mentioned, and more regarding her father.
-Crap…
He leaned back on the table while he just sighed tiredly, looking at his cell phone out of the corner of his eye and finding out what time it was.
"Well, she mentioned that she was going to be where there were more people," he said to himself, trying to find a solution to the absence of any sign of the girl. Besides, she would go to the police if something happened out there 'ttebasa.
Suddenly the energy that he had had today had suddenly begun to waste. He couldn't take the weight of his eyelids that only forced him to close them.
The worry, the guilt, the homework, the money you got back, etc. Everything triggered the wear of the Uzumaki until he was forced to completely close his eyes. He no longer had anything else to wake him up, so only time ran with him and his dream world.
That night, Boruto had slept such a heavy sleep.

The next morning, the sun fell close to his face again, while his ears were only lent to listen to the birds singing outside the balcony.
His head was still leaning with his arms between him and the table.
His conscience was still groggy, blinking over and over again to accustom his eyesight. It was impossible for her to get up in seconds, but after waiting a couple of seconds, her body began to recover the strength that she had lost due to sleep.
Even with sleepy eyes, he was able to get a good look at the television that was still on, which made him annoyed with himself for forgetting to turn it off. This would increase the cost of his electricity payment, but now that he had received the money from his mother yesterday, he could pay it without a problem.
Uzumaki could feel great after that brief problem that he was able to solve. But he was still not fully awake.
It is then that he feels some weight, a little more than he has—in fact, no weight at all—on his back. He was covered by a blanket that covered his entire back. Reason enough to find out that he hadn't had a problem if he'd been cold at night.
He could only deduce who had put it. He was not an idiot. He understood very well, and even more so when he noticed another presence on the other side of the small round table.
He recognized her right away. After seeing that other presence, his sleepy eyes went like dust until he was fully awake from the shock.
It was already quite a surprise to see her there on the table and asleep. Boruto could barely control himself not to scream in fright, since she had entered without him noticing when he was asleep.
A person who did not know much entered his apartment as if nothing had happened; If someone says something like that I would also have a lot of things to say about it, but if you add the word girl, there would be a lot more problems.
—¿Sumire-san?
Her name came out of his mouth, and although he wasn't used to calling her with such confidence, he did it anyway, without taking his eyes off the girl. He was still sleepy, but he woke up little by little until he looked up and saw his face full of surprise and confusion.
"Good morning, Boruto-kun. She whispered to him.
Unfortunately, he could only hear her name and good morning between cuts, after she dropped her head on the table. She could feel the pain of that fall.
"Oh, I woke up!" He panicked, not looking at the Uzumaki.
"Sumire-san, it's me." He straightened up looking at her face. When you came?
He didn't seem to have the Uzumaki's attention, at least now that it seems he was still looking sleepy.
He stood up immediately from his seat, and continued to the coffee pot in the kitchen until he had two cups of coffee. One for him and one for her who was talking in a whisper without a break.
-Are you okay? -Question-. Here, I brought you some coffee.
"What is coffee?"
" Don't you know what it is either?" He looked at her for a few seconds. Just drink, it's something that will make you wake up 'ttebasa.
Sumire saw him with the coffee and continued to drink from it, but it seems she didn't like it. It was a little bitter, but at least that would make her a little more awake.
Normally for his preference he does not drink coffee in the mornings. He only drank a glass of milk and ate breakfast, but when he had to, he drank coffee. He only did it in some cases when he was still sleepy.
Giving Sumire coffee will make her wake up a bit so she's not sleepy, so she'd have enough energy to talk to her.
"Are you awake yet?"
-I'm not?
—I mean, if you're already a little more so as not to be sleepy. She clarified.
He did not receive an answer, but he did receive a sign of affirmation from her. She nodded as soon as she went back to drinking coffee, which she still didn't get used to, and Boruto doubted that she would get used to it quickly..
As soon as he sat down, he looked at her out of the corner of his eye, and even saw that her clothes were still the same as always. The kimono of her speaking and detailed with black and purple lines. Her hair was still loose but she did not lose her beauty as always.
"Now tell me... where have you been?"
Sumire's lost gaze had been forming to an uneasy one and it would be. She kept her head down, playing with the cup that had the coffee in it.
"I got out like I said, but I think it took longer than I thought…" he said.
"More than you thought?"
"I-I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to take so long," he spoke quickly without taking time to think about things without losing shame. Awawa… This is very painful…
There wasn't much to talk about from the looks of it, but Uzumaki was shocked when he saw her talk and confess her mistakes of being gone too long.
" Isn't he acting different?" He thought as he looked at her carefully, but without forgetting his surprise. "She didn't have that insecure personality when I last saw her."
It seemed like it was someone else. Another who could not know for sure if she was the same or not. However, she was definitely the same person, Boruto knew very well. He sensed it, and he felt it.
It had only been a short time since they met, but he knew very well how the personality of the violet-haired girl was going.
"Nobody attacked you?" He wanted to make sure of the most important thing.
No, no one did, but...
-But?
She was silent for a few moments with her head down, glancing at the television that was on.
Uzumaki didn't like that attitude very much, he didn't want to admit it, but his thoughts went to a scenario where she and some guys didn't attack him, but they treated her rudely while they were in an activity...
— "No, that's wrong!" He pressed his head hard with his hand. "Nothing happened to her, nor did that happen to her."
He was strong and observant to every single detail she had, but there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
However, he worries that his hair is a mess. What did she do to make her hair look like this? Could she have been running around?
She soon thought of the idea that she had been victimized by some boy, taking her to a motel where they did… that. The idea only disturbed him, worried that his thoughts were leading him to that conclusion. However, a part of him believed that she wasn't involved in something like that, since she doesn't seem to be red-faced, or at least she gave off a funny smell.
Again he regretted thinking about those things, and more towards a stranger who was so innocent because of her amnesia.
"Is something wrong, Boruto-kun?" He tilted his head innocently.
-Nothing at all! Forget it 'ttebasa.
—…
He decided that later he should cool his head on that subject, but already forgetting and putting aside all that, he was sure that she was hiding something.
I didn't want to put pressure on her or something that would make her very uncomfortable, but I had to be more direct with her. She had just gone for a walk, and although she seemed like she wasn't a bad girl, she had her doubts, it was something that is normal in similar situations like this.
"Sumire-san... why were you late?"
She seemed ready to answer something that was not the case, but the Uzumaki's gaze was intense and concerned. A more than understandable look for someone who takes care of you without much in return.
She was tired, he understood it and it was really noticeable that she didn't want to talk about the things she was doing last night. He knew that Sumire meant to, but not this morning.
"I guess there's nothing wrong with saying it today…" he sighed.
The insistent look seemed to have had a great effect on the violet-haired girl, and although her doubts were evident, she seemed more sure than she was a few moments ago.
"Boruto-kun..." He looked up with a serious and calm expression. I… managed to recover my memories…

Will continue…
A/N: Well, I wanted to decide to give this final moment with Sumire having just recovered her memories, but leaving the intrigue for the next one to come. You will already know what she will tell in the next chapter of this story . Also, I made a mini participation of Hinata, wanting to give her a proper participation, but I have that reserved for a later arc.
There wasn't much here that I can say, more just to be satisfied with what was written, since this chapter has only been a small interval of half time before the next events that will come in this arc.
Well, I hope you enjoyed it a lot. Let me know what you think, it would help me a lot to give me much more inspiration. And I thank those who are reading it .
We read until next time!
Yours!

The dream that he had prolonged in him for having waited a long time for the arrival of the young violet-haired girl was mean and tired, to the point that Boruto thought he had aged a couple of years by being very aware of her. He looked and acted like he was a father, one who adopted a girl almost the same age as her after picking her up in the garbage alley.
This whole situation without context hit very badly, whichever way you look. Only the part about picking her up from the alley wasn't at all necessary to bring to light.
He feared for his social stability towards the whole world if something like that was known. Of course she wouldn't say. I don't know he considered himself a criminal nor was he.
Now that he had gone through all that, he was nothing more than a caretaker, or rather, the caretaker of this girl in front of him and with the same silence that accompanied her throughout the apartment.
— "One problem after another..."
He could only keep thinking about all the problems that were piling up with her close to him. However, this whole act of helping her was nothing more than a simple feeling of satisfaction towards himself, or so Boruto might think.
For now he just wanted to talk to her having finished preparing breakfast for this Sunday, however, no one took the first bite, they were more focused on the topic they were about to talk about now.
After the Sumire girl had left the apartment yesterday and without showing any signs of life during her absence, she had reappeared until today with the news that she had been able to recover her memories.
This situation should be something good to celebrate, right?
Shouldn't you be happy?
Will it be the end of having her in his apartment and her being free?
Seeing her out of the corner of her eye, which was from the other side of the small table, she did not show herself with her gaze straight on. He seemed to be nervous about what he wanted to say or maybe he didn't know where he should start talking about how he was able to recover the memories of him.
"So..." He spoke first to break the tension and silence in the air. Are you going to tell me exactly who you are and where are you studying?
—...
He still didn't respond. The worst thing about all this silence is that he had been asking the same question more than once and in a different way, but he still hadn't gotten any response from her.
It was clear that she wasn't ready to start talking. She possibly wasn't quite sure if he would accept whatever she was. If I said she's from that rich girls' school she wouldn't have a problem with it.
It will be a matter of whether she wanted to keep in touch with him. She wouldn't mind being friends with her, since they could also see each other being in the same city. She could also brag to her friends that she had a friend from that school without any hassles.
He looked at her again, and seemed to be a little more ready to speak. She had a certain calm and doubtful look on her face, but she noticed a little more seriousness in her expression, though not as strong one.
"Look... if you're having a hard time speaking it, don't worry about it." He patiently tried to calm her down. All in due time for her to want to speak 'ttebasa.
“No, I want to tell you. It's the least I can pay for helping me. Sumire said as she inhaled.
Now she did seem ready to take out everything that made her shut up without any problem. Although she thought that last thing that she had commented on was a little impolite. It was clear that he was not on good terms with her because of her unknown identity.
“Just take it easy. She said with a softer and more solid tone.
She was silent again, but with the difference that she had a much straighter and calmer gaze.
Of course she still wasn't comfortable with the subject she was about to discuss, neither of them thought it was something they could take lightly, much less her because of her current state. Everything he would do to help her would depend solely and solely on what she would talk about. He only needed personal information necessary enough to take her to where she studied or lived.
He continued to inhale and exhale. She did it over and over again until she was completely calm enough while directing a slightly doubtful look at Boruto, however, that did not also take away that serious expression that she began to show.
No one had cared anymore about the breakfast that had been prepared. They were much more nervous that they came to overshadow all the hunger they felt before. The churning in her stomach was no longer from the lack of food left to consume, but from the panic of where he could direct her actions after what she heard.
She was confident and calm. It was time for Sumire to speak, they both knew just by seeing how she stopped being a bit dense. Her eyes reflected the brightness of the early morning sun and the confidence that she was being present.
"First of all, I still don't really know what my full name is, so I apologize in advance. He bowed his head.
Seeking forgiveness that his early results were poor, he hoped that Boruto wouldn't feel a bit disappointed.
—N-Don't worry, you don't have to worry if you still don't know your name. She answered calmly as he tried to reassure the girl.
-In agreement...
He was glad that she did not lose the confidence to continue talking, but it was quite the opposite when she watched for a few moments the television and the weather forecast, which warned of a rainy day today.
It didn't take long for Sumire to look straight ahead where Boruto was, so she began to speak again.
—When I was walking outside, it had given me a memory of some things... They were nothing where I'm from, but when I saw some boys and girls interacting with some of those abilities they had, it was there that I was able to remember little by little some things that They were giving me an idea of everything that is going on.
"About what's going on?" He asked, somewhat conflicted by the girl's words.
Sumire paused briefly. She wanted to make sure that Boruto was more than open to the words that she said. She looked at him confused, but still the young Uzumaki's expression told her to continue.
—The "gifts" you speak of, the people who interact with them, this city is made for all young people like you told me. Everything here made me remember one thing.
-One thing? He repeated the same words, but again turned her attention to the girl and her facets. What kind of thing?
—Ninshū.
-...How?...
His mind started having a little tracking trouble as soon as he heard a word he didn't understand or know. It was something that she didn't understand very well when she heard it, not even knowing what the violet-haired girl was talking about next.
“It's a word that came to mind. I didn't quite understand what it meant when I remembered it, but as soon as I knew it was something that popped into my head I wanted more answers, I needed to be able to remember more.
-And you did it? Uzumaki asked looking at him curiously.
There was no answer for a few moments or seconds, but already seeing the look of the girl he could sense that if he had achieved his goal, or at least what she could remember.
"All the people who use these "gifts" are what are called Ninshū ," he said. It's not like a skill or physical, but it's something that is more spiritual.
-Spiritual?
—Well, I'm not sure how to explain it, since I don't remember very well how it works. Although I can tell you that it is important in order to avoid threats that want to rob people of their connection to the Ninshū.
He paused briefly as he looked at the television again. She seemed a little calmer, but worried that the Uzumaki would not keep up with her conversation, since she was very continuous with the information that had come into her head.
—All the abilities that people possess is nothing more than the connection of their physical body with the Ninshū , and that was leading them to later have these "gifts" as they call it. This reaction between the strength of your physical body and the spiritual of what is Ninshū is called chakra. This reaction does nothing more than make it possible to use the abilities of the people's gifts that they possess.
—...
—Besides, as I already told you, there are threats that want to steal people's Ninshū , and it is most likely that they will do it in this city. The safest thing is that almost all of them are white and in a matter of minutes they would affect everyone." He looked at Boruto with concern and showed him a painful and frowning expression. Boruto-kun, I think you should be careful. I wouldn't want something to happen to you!
—...
If there was one word to describe all that Uzumaki Boruto had heard, it was none other than "insanity". Yes, it had possibly been the most reasonable of many, or the softest he could think of for the purplehead.
—Basically, you say that there is that kind of threat of good and evil, in which that evil wants to take away from people that spiritual energy that is managed to make a better world, am I wrong? Boruto asked expressionlessly.
-Yes it is.
"And what we use is just 'spiritual' skills like shamans use, right?"
—I don't know that they are shamans, but the first thing you said is true. Also, anyone can do many things. It is a supernatural event that many are unaware of and that must be taken into account. She spoke while smiling slightly.
Impossible to swallow that. If this was an ordinary person who strongly believes in magic, ghosts, spirits, or supernatural things, he would be screaming from the rooftops that he is in awe, but that was impossible.
The supernatural powers within this Academy City are quite normal, but with the difference that it is studied by science. Everything can be explained by her, so who can deny her existence?
It's not that he wouldn't like to disbelieve her. Only she can't do it. Everything sounded very fanciful, as if it were from a manga or light novel. Furthermore, for someone who only handles the knowledge of science, this was nothing more than a fantasy that came from a girl, a girl who had the body of a 15 or 16 year old.
"So... how do you think you ended up with that wound in the alley?"
He had decided to make a small diversion on the subject, while looking at the unhidden expressions of the violet-haired girl.
"I guess that's why they." They wanted to steal my connection to the Ninshū , but maybe they didn't, but they hurt me.
-They?
Uzumaki repeats this in a confused way. Is the "attacker" an organization? A group? Would that really be the case? His intrigue only grew the more he thought about it; all the possibilities, routes, options, results, etc. Everything was much more stressful than he was when he had met her these days.
"Are they some kind of people who are crazy in the head?" she asked out loud by accident.
"...Are you making fun of me?"
He felt the adversity and anger of the girl, keeping two cheeks slightly inflated by the offense they were giving him.
—...I'm sorry, it's just that what you're telling me is impossible for me. I really can't believe in the existence of spiritual things or also supernatural things without logic. Believe me I'm familiar with "strange powers" like pyrokinesis, magnetism, superhuman strength or psychic vision, but spiritual... I can't believe that.
"I really don't understand what you're talking about. She lowered her head in disappointment.
"You don't have to understand." She pressed her head against the slight pain that crept in. I'm simply saying that without a doubt super powers are real.
"Then why didn't what I said take into account that they have abilities...?" There is no doubt that it is real! the young woman exclaimed.
—I had already told you about how this whole city originated and why, or did you forget?
The girl's face had started to fade until her head was lowered as she only pressed herself hard when she started moving her chopsticks back and forth for lunch, but she didn't grab the food from the plate, she just drew circles on the table with them.
"Seriously, I'm telling you the truth. She — she started to sound a little desperate and head down.
Boruto noted that she really wanted him to acknowledge her words and wanted him to admit that he was telling the truth no matter what. He didn't want to make her feel too bad about what he had said, since he didn't want to be too rude when she told him her supposed memories of what she had forgotten.
He reconsidered for a moment if she was insane before he lost his memory and found her in the alley. It is possible that he had escaped from some aid center for her and ran away from her. However, that option was discarded when he remembered that her condition had been very serious, so he doubted that someone who worked in a place to help the people with the head would hurt her, even to the point of leaving someone close to death.
She was a good girl, he knew that well, and that was why it weighed heavily on him to see her as a weird and mentally unstable person in the head. Therefore, she decided to give him a chance so that she would not look like this.
"Okay, so tell me: Can you do a demo?" Can you do something that only that chakra or Ninshū can do and science can't? Try doing it in front of
me, and maybe I'll believe you.
—...
Of course he had no answer or proof. She could say it, but it wouldn't be valid if it wasn't shown.
Honestly for Uzumaki everything Sumire had said was offensive to him. He had been waiting for many years for his gift to manifest to him, since until a certain age is when one begins to have it, but he was different and there has been no change in his body, even in his friends.
This whole talk about gifts being some kind of supernatural thing was something he couldn't be too cool about. As if everything was a lie. He didn't want to feel too excluded with this, and if what she said was true, then he didn't have anything that could be special like people, that made him feel more excluded from the world of his own generation.
He looked back at the girl and she seemed rather downcast, which put a little weight on the boy's heart. He could put up with anything, but making a girl cry was not something he wanted to be proud of.
His father always told him that you should never make a woman cry for anything in the world, whether she was a stranger or not. A man always had a duty to give them the right support.
He picked up his own chopsticks that he had in front of him and started making sounds with them as he grabbed his lunch, catching her attention as she looked at him with a bit of fear.
“For now let's forget everything you just told me. We'll know what to do with your memory later, so for now I'd like to have lunch, okay?
She didn't seem very convinced, as if she would really like to continue with the subject, but both she and he knew that it was not the best, for now.
—O-Okay...
His answer was short and hesitant, but he had understood Uzumaki's words very well, starting to do the same since he had also started to get his hunger back.
"And another thing, promise me you won't go somewhere else today, I wouldn't like you to be away for a long time again," Boruto commented with a frown. I'd like you to take a break today.
"Y-Yes, it's alright...
His gaze remained the same. The condolences that Boruto felt towards her about her lack of knowledge or state of mind. She was very disturbing, not to mention she was also disturbing, but still he had no doubt that she was a good girl.
"Listen, Sumire-san," he spoke to her sympathetically, flashing her a confident smile. I don't want to and you don't have to worry either. No matter what happens I will be here with you and never leave you if you have problems. That's something I'm serious about 'ttebasa.
It's the least I could do with her. She had no one who could help her, only him and no one else. He knew that he was not qualified to have the responsibility of caring for and helping a girl his own age, he couldn't even take care of himself in his normal economic conditions, but he still couldn't leave her alone to carry much on her own. .
Surely his father would have done the same under these circumstances. He would possibly tell her to do what he just did. He couldn't help but let a smile slip from his face.
He watched Sumire nod as she moved her lunch for no apparent reason, turning her gaze back to the blond-haired youth. As much as she had her concern about staying outside, he decided to listen to her. They were seen in her eyes full of guilt for having been away from her for a long time without warning her.
Boruto smiled at her as soon as he saw her take her first bites at breakfast, which made the boy happy, but as for the violet-haired girl, she was coughing a little because of the concentrated condiments that were in the food.
"I-I'm sorry, I made a very difficult breakfast again, didn't I?"
"N-No, no problem...
If there's one thing Uzumaki was disappointed in, it was his lousy cooking skills. He had already commented on it to her before; he only knew how to make curry. Decent, but nothing that was the most wonderful thing to eat.
In the worst case scenario where Sumire has to extend the length of her stay in her apartment, she will have no choice but to learn to cook.
๑๑๑
"As always, I'm very surprised at how skilled you are, Boruto." Still, I don't want a simple injury or illness to beat you to not coming to class. Be a little more defensive in your system...
Right now Boruto was standing next to his teacher Senju Tsunade, who had been responsible for sending him that amount of homework for missing class, whether it was because he was sick or not. She never stopped being rude to all of her students, but this was clearly to help them improve themselves.
Fortunately, yesterday he had been able to finish all the homework he took as punishment, both him and his teacher. Not once had Sumire left the apartment, more than she alone had sat down to watch TV and read some of the books that her mother had given her when she started living in Academy City. They were just books of novels that she had had from her father and that she would surely have loved to read them, but she has never been able to take a look at them due to lack of time and courage.
It worried the girl for a few moments because of the look of doubt she had with the time that she was sitting there in her two activities that she had done yesterday, but she did not want to leave because of so much trouble thinking about it, more than just letting her be until feel more comfortable.
When she had to hurry to class today she had left curry for him to eat later. Sure, he locked her up so she wouldn't have anything troublesome happen to him and he can get past her.
He was still with his doubts about who or who had gone to attack the young woman, that was still the biggest mystery on the table that had to be pending, in addition to that story that she had commented on. It's not that she didn't want to believe what she had told, but it was something that she couldn't try to be too influenced by.
I needed more clues to know what the past is that this amnesiac girl hides. He would not want to be involved in something very dangerous that could involve a terrible terrorist group.
"Listen to me when I'm talking to you!"
Without blinking he had been pulled out of his thoughts by one of the older woman's monstrous punches until the Uzumaki was against the wall until it cracked. He just left the boy very still until he was unable to move, staying on the ground convulsing with pain.
The rest of the teachers came over to help him and others calmed down the very upset Senju who was still growling in anger at being ignored by her student when she was lecturing him.
Luckily, something much worse was avoided, that the wall was completely breaking in the process.
๑๑๑
The pains in his face and all parts of his body continued to rumble as a strong current bristled him to the bone. Luckily they had told her that these were intact thanks to one of the healing abilities of a teacher, the rest had been taken care of as always by the one in charge of the school infirmary.
A little treatment was applied to him until he was expected to be back in good shape in a short time for his next classes. Luckily, the first two won't count her fault, at least she could take it as a sign of apology from her teacher.
Resting now was what was now in his grasp until he could move like he normally does. In addition, he had to continue to be vigilant so that he would not be an overexertion in wanting to go to her classroom.
"I am very surprised that you are so obedient."
Boruto heard how they spoke to him from the other side of the infirmary. He who looked from the window at some students in their physical education classes had put him at ease, however, he lost focus when he saw the woman who attended him with a neutral expression, but she looked surprised.
“Well, Ada-san did her best to keep it in good condition. I wouldn't want to undermine that effort by leaving 'ttebasa.
"I'm just doing my job, besides I was very surprised that you arrived today like this..." she commented strangely.
"I-It just happened." Haha.
"You never know what you're going to do next from time to time," he sighed. Sometimes I wished that the first thing you would do when you got to school would be to see me... but I didn't wish that way either.
"D-Don't say that... It makes me look like a jerk somehow." Boruto replied with a bitter and awkward smile.
The atmosphere began to feel uncomfortable, as well as embarrassing for the words that the woman said. He turned his gaze away again, looking for a way to move on to a next topic of conversation at least in front of Ada, but he couldn't think of anything at the moment, so he only sighed in response to her failed attempts.
"You seem to really like seeing girls in sports uniforms, don't you?"
"N-No, of course not!" She replied with a blush.
-You know? I don't mind trying something like that on if you want.” She bends her legs to sit better in her chair. Would you like it?
A common response to these kinds of situations where a man would have her in his presence would be a positive one. Of course he would like to live every man's dream to have a splendid view of an attractive woman in a sporty school uniform.
Would they play it if I said yes? What kind of consequences would occur if I were to have that agreement? Too many questions and all of them intriguing, as well as dangerous. Although, she couldn't help but think how provocative and tempting she was. She was in a dilemma whether or not to decline the offer.
He was a boy after all, so why not take advantage of the distance of every man's dream? He felt the urgency of having a reward after everything that had happened these days.
"Are you awake Boruto yet?" A voice was heard outside the infirmary.
Well, of course the opportunities had a period of time to be claimed.
They both looked at the door opening to see both Shikadai and Inojin calmly walking in as they glanced into the infirmary. They both looked at the Uzumaki out of the corner of their eyes, and soon after at the woman who looked at them calmly.
It only lasted a few seconds, but in that short time Uzumaki could see an upset and depressing sigh from Ada as she stood up from her chair until her hands were in the pockets of her white coat.
"Hey guys," he spoke sweetly to them with a smile. Uzumaki-kun will be ready to walk.
—Thank you very much for your work, Ada-sensei.
"Don't worry Nara-kun, it's the least I can do," he thanked. Although, what she did now Mrs. Tsunade was break the record of having a student brought to the infirmary. Even though she is a doctor.
"You know how he is, he can never control his temper." Inojin replied from the jet's side.
The conversation began to make all the strange and uncomfortable atmosphere dissipate around Boruto, until he had a much better relaxation from the bed he was sitting on.
"So... Guys, could you keep an eye on the place while I go out for a drink?"
"Of course, leave it to us." Inojin said.
Ada walked by her side as she headed out of the infirmary while looking at the boys and then doing the Uzumaki at the end. It was only a few milliseconds to notice how she winked at him as soon as she opened the door.
That gesture had managed to make the Uzumaki blush. It wasn't as if he was going to fall for the charms of a woman like that woman is —although really if she would do it in a very high percentage—, since that kind of feelings had them occupied in a certain way.
It is in these cases that I wish I was a little older to be his age, and only then would the story be totally different.
"Isn't it lovely that Ada-sensei gives us a job?" Inojin asked. Maybe we are his favorite students.
"I doubt it," Shikadai replied. She is like that with others, not to mention that she is not the kind of woman who is interested in men now.
"But you also wish you could at least have a chance with a woman like her, don't you?"
—...
His silence said more than a thousand words. No wonder even her friends wanted something from her. Most of the men here do it for the sake of attractiveness, but it's not like it's a new novelty.
He checked the time on his cell phone and nothing had come up. She was at least reassured when she didn't see any calls from her apartment, indicating that Sumire was fine for now.
"Is something wrong, Boruto?" His jet-black friend asked as he approached.
He had been ignoring the Yamanaka for a few moments as he passed him until he reached the bed where Boruto was.
"Are you a little shaken by what happened to you?" she asked.
—N-No, nothing like that... although the truth was that it was very complicated. Boruto answered as he lowered his cell phone.
"Well, that's what you get for ignoring Tsunade-sensei," the blond-haired man spoke from the other side. What were you thinking that you didn't pay attention to him?
A question in question that is too dubious for what Uzumaki Boruto can handle.
Returning his attention to the problem of his affair with that girl he had in his apartment, he was thinking about what she had told him, that strange fantasy that he said was "real", in addition to the fact that they were part of his "memories" that were supposed to be that he had recovered.
"This is annoying...
"Hey, what's that about?" —Shikadai missed that tired behavior of his friend.
"Guys, can I ask you something?"
The other two looked strangely at the Uzumaki, but not before consulting each other where their gazes seemed very uneasy and curious because of their friend's tired and worried gaze. They nodded, waiting to hear what they would be asked.
"Have you ever heard of Ninshū or something called chakra ?" she asked.
-Sorry?
“Sounds weird, I know, but I want to know if any of you have heard of it. He was taking into account how weird he sounded to himself.
He couldn't bear to see the look of his friends with indifference as they tried to find out what Boruto wanted to know. Of course it would cost them! He wasn't a fool, he was more or less like that when he heard it from Sumire, but a little less hurtful—although it didn't make much difference—so the guilt of hurting the girl for saying something close to disbelieving him was difficult for him. to load. Although he still had the same thought of not knowing if he believed her or not.
“To be honest, I've never heard of it. It is the first time I hear it. said the jet.
It was not surprising for Uzumaki, since it was not something that an ordinary person knows about, much less his friends.
"I haven't heard of that Nin either...what you said," Inojin spoke with difficulty as he thought about the name. Is it some kind of pun?
"S-Forget it, it's nothing... I only ask because I heard about it in a 'ttebasa book."
"Can you hear the books?" Shikadai looked at him with a frown.
-Stop bothering! Just saying!
"Well, if you say so, then the topic doesn't matter so much, does it?" added the Yamanaka.
Of course, if no one knew anything about those words then he had no more reason to continue insisting on the subject. It was only enough for him to further confirm the condition that Sumire is in mentally.
He will leave things up in the air for the moment, and then he would resume everything according to what the young violet-haired girl remembered over time.
In the end he has gotten nothing but just meaningless answers. She only hoped that the result would be totally different some other time. At the very least, she would try to talk to Sumire again and ask her more calmly about what she said.
However, the first thing of all was to take a rest in bed.
