Chapter 240: Chapter 240: You've Become Addicted to Sleeping in My Bed?
Nawaki, still rubbing the spot where Tsunade had kicked him, continued to complain about Takuya's "betrayal."
Wiping the tears from laughing so hard, Takuya leaned back, clutching his stomach and said, "How was I supposed to know your sister would support you like that? I thought she'd talk you out of it."
"I don't care! You set me up, so now you've got to help me."
"Help with what? Giving you tips on how to date? I'm not sure I can help, honestly. Girls have always been the ones chasing me."

And with that, Nawaki stormed off in a huff.
Barely two minutes after he left, Tsunade swung over the balcony again, effortlessly jumping from her side to Takuya's place. She headed straight for the fridge.
"That dumb kid finally left. I have no idea what he's thinking, trying to pursue a girl from the Hyuga clan..."
"Hey, where's the bottle of sake I left in here last time?"
"Drinking at night isn't good for your health, so I put it away," Takuya replied without even looking up from his spot.
Honestly, he couldn't figure out why Nawaki was so fixated on this. That's why he hadn't agreed to help.
If it had been any other girl, Takuya would've been on board, but Hyuga Meiko? It was better to just forget it, go to bed, and dream about something else.
With her sake gone, Tsunade wasn't thrilled. Left with no choice, she poured herself a glass of water instead.
"You think Nawaki's really going to give up on this?"
"Who knows? It's not like it's set in stone yet."
Even if Nawaki didn't give up, who was to say Meiko would even like him back? Besides, the Hyuga clan had notoriously strict traditions, and they were known for being uptight.
Takuya leaned his chin on his hand, casually kicking the couch where Tsunade was sprawled out without a care in the world.
"Knowing how stubborn Nawaki is, I'd say you'll have a hard time staying out of it, whether you like it or not."
"Damn it..." Tsunade shot up from the couch, slapping the cushion in frustration. "Why do I have to clean up his mess just because he wants to chase some girl?"
"Because you're his sister!" Takuya burst into laughter.
Tsunade clenched her fists, her teeth grinding. She was itching to hit something.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Don't give me that look like you're about to punch someone. My head hurts just thinking about how Nawaki's going to keep pestering me to help him arrange dates."
Honestly, why did Nawaki have to drag him into this? The kid's plan was absurd.
He didn't want Takuya to give him advice. Instead, Nawaki wanted Takuya to arrange for Suzune to come out, and then naturally Meiko would follow. Nawaki figured that would give him a chance to spend time with Meiko.
Takuya seriously considered cracking open Nawaki's skull to see what was going on in there. The plan was ludicrous.
Speaking of which, Tsunade's anger dissipated as her curiosity piqued. Her wide eyes blinked as she asked, "So, are you going to help him?"
as Takuya. Regular missions weren't challenging enough for them, and they had no interest in assassination or intel-gathering tasks.
That really narrowed their options.
After all, S-rank missions weren't exactly growing on trees.
"That's easy. Leave it to me." Takuya stood up and walked to his bedroom door, knocking
loudly.
"Get out here. We need you for something. If you're not out in five minutes, Nawaki's problem is all yours to deal with!"
Thud!
Barely three seconds later, there was a loud crash from inside the room, like someone had
fallen out of bed.
Hearing the commotion, Minato couldn't help but laugh.
By now, he was completely used to Tsunade crashing at Takuya's place—and even more used
to her taking over his bedroom.
In fact, Minato casually strolled over to the balcony, knowing what was coming next.
"What's the big deal? It's so early..." Tsunade grumbled as she emerged from the room, her
hair a mess.
Her clothes were practically falling off her shoulders, leaving very little to the imagination.
Good grief...
Takuya slapped a hand to his forehead.
"Can't you at least tidy yourself up before coming out here? You're not at home, you know."
"Your place is way more comfortable than mine. Your room is so clean; it's great for sleeping," Tsunade replied nonchalantly, pulling at her clothes without a care in the world.
"..."
Fine. You win. From now on, I'm locking my bedroom door every night. I'll only open it when I'm ready to sleep. Let's see you try to crash here then! Sighing, Takuya rubbed his temples, watching as Tsunade flopped onto the couch.
"So, what's so urgent that you had to wake me up?" she yawned, still half-asleep.
