Chapter 285: 285. Mist Bride ?

"Lord Terumi it’s always a pleasure to meet you ~ " Itsuki said with a smile, as an annoyed Mei stood beside him.

" Likewise " Terumi Hito the Terumi clan leader and Mei’s uncle replied warmly with a smile while glancing at Mei who was standing beside Itsuki like a loyal retainer.

She was doing it subconsciously and it made him sigh that the little girl he raised had grown up and it was time for her to spread her wings.

.....

" Lord Senju , I have thought about your proposal deeply and have seen your sincerity during all these years..... First let me thank you, for all the help you have provided us during these years..." Terumi Hito bowed to Itsuki with genuine gratitude making Mei feel complicated as she bit her lips.

She nudged Itsuki’s shoulder with her elbow as she glared at him.

Itsuki just smiled at her before gently pushing Hito from his bowing position.

" You don’t need to be too formal Lord Terumi , I didn’t do it out of the goodness of my heart and I had my own selfish reasons.." Itsuki smiled as he gazed at Mei who blushed as she turned her head away from him.

She could probably guess what his ’selfish reasons’ were.

’Hmph! Stupid lecher’ Mei snorted inside her mind as she placed her arms beneath her boobs,slightly lifting them up in front of Itsuki’s gaze.

Itsuki moved slightly on the couch as he caught Mei’s wrist and pulled her to sit beside him.

She put up a symbolic struggle , but in the end sat beside him .... A little bit too close , so close that she was ’unknowingly’ pressing her boobs against his arm.

Hito’s lips twitched as he watched all of this but in the end he just decided to ignore it because he could clearly see his niece had feelings for this man but was torn between duty and feelings.

Hito knew Mei always dreamt of marrying someone she loved , and have her happily ever after.

And what kind of parent would Hito be if he couldn’t give it to his niece who was equivalent to his daughter.

"Lord Senju ... If you would have us then the Terumi clan would be honoured to be a part of Konoha. But I have a request and you are free to decline it.." Terumi Hito said respectfully as he gazed at Itsuki with a smile.

" As long as it isn’t anything outrageous I don’t mind agreeing to it " Itsuki said politely as he took a sip of the refreshing tea made using aquatic plants only available in this region.

Itsuki was curious as to what the Terumi Clan head wanted of him.

He was confident in fulfilling any request the man had , except marrying off his children because Itsuki would leave it to his kids.

Itsuki’s grip on his tea cup tightened as he thought of his little princesses bringing some random punk home and introducing them to him.

Itsuki had already decided his criteria for a son in law , and that was to defeat him.

If they can’t even defeat him then how was he supposed to entrust the safety of his daughter to those punks.

No way!

...

"Please Take Mei as one of your wives.. " Hito said with a smile as he watched Mei’s dumbfounded expression.

"U-Uncle " Mei stuttered as her face was overcome by a furious blush as she sneaked a few glances at Itsuki who was also a bit surprised.

In Itsuki’s credit he didn’t spit out his tea in surprise as he gently placed the cup down before flashing a smile at Mei who turned her gaze away from him , then he turned to Hito who was gazing at him with a smile.

It seems the old man was aware of his nefarious activities with his niece and decided to step in and let her be with him.

Itsuki was sure that if it was left to Mei then she might take a few more years before giving in due to her pride.

Mei loved Kirigakure dearly and her loyalty was enough for her to shelve her feelings.

And if not for Hito planning to switch his allegiance to Konoha then she simply wouldn’t accept to being in a relationship with him.

But now that Terumi Hito had paved the way for him and was willing to play the wingman then how could he refuse such a good gift.

" I don’t mind ... But Lord Terumi it depends on Mei’s wishes ..." Itsuki said calmly as he left the decision to Mei who suddenly became nervous as she shifted uncomfortably.

" *Cough!* ... I would follow the clan leader’s orders for the sake of the clan " Mei said calmly making Itsuki smile in amusement while Hito let out a sigh of relief.

It seems Mei didn’t make a stupid decision due to embarrassment or pride.

Maybe her feelings were stronger than he thought? ....

.....

Itsuki was walking back along the passage with Mei beside him as she refused to gaze at him as her face was a bit flushed.

Although outwardly she appeared calm , Itsuki could see how tense she was which made him feel amused.

"You know~ I am a bit hurt that you are only willing to marry me because of your clan~ " Itsuki said in slightly dramatic tone as he held his chest as if he was hurt.

Mei rolled her eyes in amusement as she watched his dramatic performance.

"Hmph! If not for the clan , then why would I even marry a pervert like you! " Mei said in annoyance as she thought of Itsuki’s multiple wives making her feel a bit down as she couldn’t help but feel a bit insecure.....
