Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it.

Chapter 18: A Date with Nohara Rin, Heart-Pounding

As Kanako spoke, she looked around and, finding no one nearby, secretly released her good mood.

Then, to Shenyue Xingyun's surprise, she took his hand and whispered.

"I'm here to comfort you today."

Shenyue Xingyun: "?"

To comfort me?

Are you sure you're not rewarding yourself?

……

Regardless of what Kanako thought, since the other party's concern for her seemed genuine, Shinzuki Seiun let her be.

Half an hour later, he took the other person home. Before parting, Kanako carefully tidied up Shinzuki Seiun's clothes and carefully wiped the dust off his face and body.

"Alright, Nebula, goodnight."

See you the day after tomorrow.

See you the day after tomorrow.

The door closed.

Shingetsu Seiun wandered around the streets, and after a while, arrived at the Nohara family's gate.

He hesitated for a moment just as he reached out to knock on the door.

What if Nohara Rin's older brother starts swearing?

Just as she was hesitating, the door creaked open, and Nohara Rin's face came into view.

"Nebula, you're here... What's wrong!?"

Shenyue Xingyun laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just bumped into someone during a sparring session."

Rin Nohara: "That's too much."

"How could you hit someone so hard during a friendly sparring match?"

"Wait for me a moment."

As she spoke, she ran upstairs with a clatter, followed by a chaotic clatter of ping-pong balls and a young man's shouts.

"Going out so late!"

"Couldn't you have come earlier? It's almost dark!"

Rin Nohara's voice: "Never mind that, I have something to do."

"Thump thump thump..." The sound grew closer and closer.

Nohara Rin returned to Shingetsu Nebula with a package in her hand.

"Let's go."

After saying that, he grabbed Shenyue Xingyun's sleeve and left.

A moment later, a man's furious voice came from behind.

After walking down a street, Nohara Rin loosened Shingetsu Seiun's sleeve and said somewhat embarrassedly, "My brother has a bad temper."

"I'm sorry."

Shenyue Xingyun: "No. I think my brother is a good person and cares about you a lot."

"If I had a younger sister as cute as you, I would definitely be even more worried than him."

Nohara Rin blushed, lowered her head slightly, and did not reply.

After a moment, she said, "Let's go, we'll find a place and I'll teach you medical ninjutsu."

"Okay," said Shenyue Xingyun. "I know a place that's quiet and spacious, perfect for you."

After a while.

He led Nohara Rin to the bamboo house by the river, a place they had visited not long ago.

Find a lamp in the corner and turn it on.

As darkness fell, the lights remained bright enough to read the books.

Shenyue Xingyun said, "Let's begin."

"Mm," Nohara Rin replied.

She took out her prepared notes while looking around.

A small bamboo house by the river, open on all four sides, with a gentle breeze blowing.

Under the hazy night sky, there is a unique atmosphere.

Nohara Rin asked, "Nebula, do you come here often?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "..."

His brain processed the information for half a second before he replied, "No."

"I just happened to pass by here not long ago and saw this place."

"At that time, I felt that this was a really good place to learn."

"Hmm." Nohara Rin nodded noncommittally, but secretly thought to herself, 'This seems more suitable for a date.'

Under the soft light, he looked at Shen Yuexingyun's flawless profile and the way she was carefully flipping through her notes. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

"Nebula," Nohara Rin suddenly spoke up.

"What's wrong?" Shenyue Xingyun looked up.

Nohara Rin picked up the package she had brought and whispered, "Let me... take care of your bruises first."

"...Okay." Shenyue Xingyun certainly wouldn't refuse.

So, Nohara Rin used tweezers to pick up a cotton swab, brought it slightly closer to Shinzuki Seiun, and carefully wiped away the bruises and abrasions on him.

The evening breeze was gentle.

The lighting was also gentle.

Perhaps it was the gentleness of the girl's hand movements.

Nohara Rin wiped it clean little by little.

My hands don't seem as steady as before, and my heart is pounding.

A moment later, she finished disinfecting, put down the disinfectant cotton and tweezers, and replaced them with wound medicine, silently calming herself down.

Why?

Why is my heart beating so fast?

"I didn't do anything."

"Come on, come on, Lin! You haven't done anything, don't be nervous."

Feeling her heart rate finally slow down, Nohara Rin picked up the medicine and continued.

She applied the ointment to her hand and pressed it little by little onto the bruises on Shen Yuexingyun's face. At the same time, wisps of chakra seeped from her fingertips and into her skin.

With a cool and refreshing sensation, the bruises gradually faded under the gentle touch of my fingertips.

Shenyue Xingyun's face was right before my eyes, gradually returning to its flawless state.

too close.

too close.

So close it felt like I could reach out and possess it, so close it felt like I could just lower my head...

Nohara Rin forced herself to look away and stop thinking.

Shenyue Xingyun asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing," Nohara Rin said; "I just got a flying insect in my eye."

Shenyue Xingyun quickly asked, "Do you need my help?"

Nohara Rin: "No need, no need, it's already flown away."

After a moment, Nohara Rin turned around, her complexion looking even better under the light.

Holding the medicine, she asked, "Where else?"

Shenyue Xingyun was taken aback.

But he clearly wouldn't let such an opportunity to build rapport slip by, and immediately replied, "And the back, the hands, the thighs."

Nohara Rin lowered her head.

Just when Shingetsu Seiun thought the other party had changed their mind, Nohara Rin said, "Let me treat your back injury."

"You'll learn to handle the rest, just like I do."

Shingetsu Nebula: "Mm. Thank you, Lin."

Nohara Rin stopped talking.

When Shenyue Xingyun turned her back, the bruises on her back were exposed.

Shenyue Xingyun was neither fat nor thin, with a well-proportioned figure and fair skin.

However, the numerous bruises, large and small, slightly detracted from the aesthetic appeal.

Nohara Rin's face turned even redder.

When she picked up the medicine and massaged it onto Shenyue Xingyun's wounds, her face turned so red it looked like it could bleed.

The girl's gentle fingertips touched her back, and the medicine gave her a cool, refreshing sensation.

After a long while, Shenyue Xingyun felt the movements behind her finally stop.

After waiting for quite a while, I finally heard Nohara Rin's voice.

"alright."

Upon hearing this, Shenyue Xingyun turned around.

Nohara Rin's expression was normal. If he hadn't clearly heard the heartbeat behind him just now, he would have thought that she was really focused on healing her injuries.

Nohara Rin placed the medicine in front of Shinzuki Seiun.

"Repeat what I just did."

"Take care of the rest of the work yourself."

"Okay." Shingetsu Seiun didn't waste any words. Following Nohara Rin's actions and sequence, she finished treating the bruises in no time.

After finishing, he looked up at Nohara Rin and asked, "Rin, how did I do?"

"Ah...ah?" Rin Nohara, who was a little stunned, came back to her senses: "Very...very good."

"Nebula, you've made great progress."

"Let's continue studying."
