7 SLEEPER
Ninja, Nin~~ Nin~~

POV Author

Rion lay limp on the grass of the landlord's front yard.

Even though his eyes were wide open when facing the direct sun, he still did not blink his eyes.

His gaze was empty like without a soul, even when he was not sunbathing like a dried fish like that, This teenager always paced indistinctly in the hallway of the house in a doldrums, almost like a Zombie.

This of course became a question from among the servants and soldiers in the residence.

How not, the one who is usually the most spirited of all is now the most silent and lethargic as it is without motivation.

This incident had been going on for 3 days after the big ambush, but they had all realized this morning when a waiter who was serving tea to his master and other important guests, they were talking casually about the successful incident of the ambush a few days ago.

They were too complacent with their victory, to the point that they forgot the condition of the person who was the key to the success of the Operation this time.

How not to be complacent, the operation this time can be said to be big enough to be handled by the Landlord with a few active soldiers and some talented adventurers. After all, their target this time was also not an abal-abal target. This criminal is quite respected among people of his profession.

It was proven directly from other criminals who have been caught and surrendered.

They were terrified every time they heard the name of Alfonzo the great leader of the criminal organization.

Landlords were quite troubled all along, because few eyewitnesses were left alive so that their stories could be spread throughout the country.

And it is true that the story from one person to another began to spread to the neighboring country.

Not a few of the petty criminal criminals began to join them, one by one they began to grow up to become a dark organization that is difficult to handle without the help of soldiers from the Capital.

But why has the capital not lowered aid despite often sending Proposals ?

That was because their organization was so structured that so little information about the formation of troops came in.

So that for high-level information, soldiers need higher officials from the enemy to open their mouths, while to catch the enemy one level lower until it takes a lot of casualties. And again they also do not know very well with their superiors, all they want is a strong Backing to continue troublemaking.

Even for the Bear-class higher-ups Izumi had captured, the information still sounded faint.

Now we get back to Rion's problem.

Those present in this room seemed to be frowning them, they planned to apologize and at once Thank you but the idea was rejected outright by Izumi.

" Stop, that'll only add to the problem, what about the survivors ?" Izumi interrupted the higher-ups there.

" well... It was indeed important, but as with Rion-Dono, he was the most meritorious person in the operation this time."

" Mister Alfred, you need not worry about anything else. Your main citizens. Leave the kid's business to us, we know better"

The landlord was unable to argue any further after hearing the declaration from his honored guest.

He also realized that if he intervened, he could do nothing. Let's leave it to the experts. Thought in the heart.

And before long, there was a knock from behind the door. The door opened after confirmation from the host.

A soldier in a military suit came in with 3 of his aides.

Izumi who was reluctant to beg to retreat, did not want to interfere with other people's affairs, he walked out of the room and went to Rion which became a spectacle of soldiers and survivors.

Izumi was struck by an idea in his head when he saw the scene of Rion that never improved.

" u.. !! Ninja!!" He shouted while pointing at a random tree in the courtyard.

Rion who had been silent like a corpse nimbly jumped away in the direction indicated.

" It's cheap "split Izumi.

Before long, a female shout sounded from within the dense tree leaves that Izumi pointed at randomly. Rion jumped down and immediately ran towards the petrified Izumi while holding the female Ninja in her hand.

" Izumi Izumi, Ninja loh, this is Ninja, the original Ninja. Wuohoho's. It's great that you can find ninjas hiding behind leaves though. It's not wrong of you to be our guild master."

Rion sat the female ninja in front of Izumi who was still petrified. He glanced at all corners of the female Ninja's body with a sparkling gaze like a boy who just got his new toy.

" Take me off... I'm not that "Defend the woman freak.

But Rion did not heed the request, he was still busy checking all the equipment on the body of the female Ninja, until unconsciously his hand accidentally touched something soft.

The ninja flinched and shouted sweetly.

Rion released his grasp and quickly retreated to the ground.

" Yes... You're... You're a woman ?" His face was red, his mouth was shaking. And then prostrate and stick his forehead hard.

Izumi patted her forehead on the treatment of her friend that one.

" Just look at it from afar I can tell if she is a woman, how could you who are close to her not be aware. Huh !!?" Izumi was furious.

" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I'm just checking who knows you're hiding a dangerous weapon in your body. I'm also sorry for touching your body, I don't think you're a female ninja, so.."

Rion had not yet finished his apology, a powerful blow landed on the back of his head while he was still prostrating. As a result, half of his body was embedded into the ground, leaving his lower body that was riding into the sky.

It was Momo who had just come with a small group of children behind her. He came because he heard a commotion.

" It's disrespectful, displaying that dirty scene in front of me. " Momo pulled Rion's leg and pulled it from the ground.

And exasperated, Rion's face when coming out from the ground looked fine. His face laughed like innocence.

So Momo planted it back into the ground.

After this process happens repeatedly. Finally Rion was forgiven even though he had to remain in his half-body grave. Now the lower part of his body is buried and sunbaked in the middle of the entrance.

Half his face was also battered, although not severe. He was also wrapped in a board that read 'don't feed'.

" Who is this Ninja Miss ?" Momo takes a suspicious look at Izumi, seeing the female ninja covering her own body with her stairs.

" I don't know either, even I just wanted to ask you the same question"

" Hey hey hey, just look at it for sure it's Kunoichi right, that simple thing you don't know.. Basic ama..tir."

After Rion spoke so, Momo stomped on Rion's head brutally.

" Agh's.. Pinks.. Aghs.. Thinged... Ughhhh.. Whiter.. Ughhhh.."

Momo stops after Rion has only her head left, and returns to her beloved Izumi.

" I can't believe you're wearing something as bold as that in a short skirt"

" All this I'm doing is for you, darling"

Momo hugs are friendly and much more intimate in public.

Unperturbed, Izumi questioned Kunoichi in front of her even though her head was now between Momo's cleavage.

" ti.. Unscrupulous.. !!" The kunoichi pointed with a dead red face.

An irritated Momo caught her index finger and twisted it. The ninja whimpered in pain, lucky Izumi stopped him before a more severe accident occurred.

" So, who are you, Kunoichi San?"

" uh. Lucky you asked." Arrogantly, the Kunoichi stood up puffing out his not-so-big chest.

Momo who felt intimidated gave off a killing aura. Lucky Izumi can ease it.

Kunoichi, who survived Momo's most secure, improves his nature.

*****

" Ahem... My name is Kohona, adventurer "The answer is short.

"".....""

"....."

"".....""

" What's a ?"

" That's all ?" Ask Izumi

" What?, I'm talking honestly.. If you don't believe me you can check my adventurer card"

Momo snatches the card quickly before Izumi touches another woman's hand.

Momo glanced at him for a few seconds and sighed and then threw out the card. Lucky Izumi caught him.

" What are you doing with someone else's adventure card, Gorilla woman "Konoha berates for not accepting if the card is treated with disrespect.

Momo gave an intimidating smile without hitting, as she was busy hugging Izumi.

Izumi and Rion who had suddenly been there nodded a small nod when they saw the data stamped on the card there.

Izumi returned the adventurer card politely and with a smile. Likewise with Rion whose face has recovered.

" You believe me ?" Konoha san, was relieved and kept back his adventurer card.

" I can't read it.. " Rion answers first, followed by Izumi and Momo last.

Now the turn of Konoha who was silent petrified, he felt silly mixed with anxiety.

On the one hand he felt fooled and on the other hand he felt anxious, if he did not manage to prove that he was not an enemy, then his life could be threatened and even die at their hands, especially after seeing their abilities even though this was the first time they met.

" What is this storm ?"

Guild master Alberd came in between by some Maid.

Seeing his helper coming he cried in silence, his eyes teary. Finally, there appeared a person who could prove himself not to be a freak trying to infiltrate this residence.

" Ow, Konoha chan.. My daughter... !! Did you come to pick me up?"

But Konoha did not reply, its eyes getting watery..

" You even cried with our meeting after a long separation?, how potent is this one of my daughters"

The guild master who turned out to be the father of Konoha ran over to his daughter.

Konoha cried so much in the arms of her beloved father.

What about the other 3 teenagers there ?.

Of course they froze, it could be seen all the colors on their bodies leaving their masters.

The three people froze with smiles.

*****

After hearing stories from Konoha and testimonies from people around.

Eventually the case was closed peacefully as a case of misunderstanding.

No one was hurt from this incident. For the wounds received by Rion, it was different again.

" Papa.. "

" Hm.. ?"

" Don't hug me, I'm not a kid anymore.."

" Eh, but I'm still lacking the little princess's energy"

" I told you to let go.. Your thick mustache feels tingly"

" A little while. Just sec.. "

Konoha sounds like a rejection but her attitude is completely opposite, she looks very enjoying the spoiled embrace of her Papa.

Until finally...

" !!! "

Konoha realized, 3 pairs of eyes were glancing at him with a look of ridicule and a slanted smile.

The girl was forced to push her Papa's face away, as her Papa's face became sad. Konoha did not have the heart and returned to soften.

"" Papa~~ "" Goda Rion and her two friends.

Konoha was unable to cover up her embarrassment, pushing her Papa's face back away.

It took a lot of effort to get his size out of the grasp of a bear-like man like his papa.

*****

Konoha sits a little away from her Papa.

To clear her self-esteem, the girl takes a silent and indifferent attitude from every glance of her papa.

"" Tsundere~~ ""

" I don't know what you're saying, but somehow I feel irritated " Konoha said still with a cross-legged pose on the chest trying to cover her body.

" Don't think about it... Where we come from is a compliment. " Rion defended himself.

" It's true. The words are said when someone looks sweet when blushed shyly "Izumi follows.

" Really ?" Konoha looked at them suspiciously.

The one who was stared at nodded with certainty, once. A thumbs up they both gave as proof that it was guaranteed.

" Yes, that's it. "

In fact the three teenagers, Rion, Izumi and Momo, were trying half-deadly to hold their laughter.

And it worked... The reason is very simple.

They just couldn't believe it, a muscle-brain man like Guild Master could have a spoiled princess like Konoha who still liked to be spoiled with her Papa despite being a big one.

" It's true too, Papa.. !"

"" Pufft..""

Konoha glanced at the source of the voice and found that the three people who had made her feel stupid were now throwing their faces away hiding their laughter.

Only a second later did he realize. His face was flushed red and turned back to face his astonished Papa and a big question mark.

From behind his clothes a wooden box with a luxurious size he placed on the table.

" lt.. Oo Otou Sama "

" Otou Sama ?" Feeling himself being summoned by another call, a question mark reappeared on the Guild Master's face.

Rion and his friends again clamored to see the sudden change of call.

" Rion dono, Izumi dono, Momo dono. It belongs to you "

The Guild Master faced the small box that opened onto them.

The box is beautiful.. But the attention of each of them is more inclined to the contents of the box.

3 pieces of silver cards with their faces in a column. Complete with their data information listed, behind their Cards there is also a large Logo that indicates they are a Guild Member.

The eyes of the three of them sparkled happily, with a piece of card in their hands. At the same time they stroked, rubbed into the cheeks to kiss their cards and at the end the three of them passed High V.

" While you look more mature than me, you're more childish than me."

The three of them did not feel offended, because all the choreography was determined in advance. Even now they hear something interesting.

" Children said "

" Well, it doesn't seem to be for us "

" Papa~~ "

Their laughter exploded as Momo said those forbidden words.

Konoha, who is aware that she is being bullied, just stays in her seat while maintaining her previous arrogant pose.

While the Guild master himself was enjoying the cute face of his powerful daughter who was unable to do that.

" Hear. I am your Senior. And as a Junior it's been an obligation for you to listen to Senior's orders. "

Blablbla

Konoha, who felt bullied at length when darted in his head, will be his status.

But he was wrong.

Even if it is not legal and falsified. The three of them had definitely escaped because of their test last week.

In front of dozens of spectators who are witnesses, judges and high-ranking adventurers as examiners, they are able and deserve high ratings.

Konoha is back. After the three of them showed off their cards.

" After all, even if you are Rank A, as a Junior you still have to listen to Senior's orders. Point I don't want to know"

Konoha's voice is shaking. His eyes began to fade. Rion and the others are not in the heart, but they are tempted to continue to work on this one Ninja. Moreover, his own father was excited to see the funny behavior of his daughter who grew up.

" Ahem... " Rion was about to end his joke, but.

" Ah, I forgot to say. At first the three of them were in Rank A. Because their card was lost when saving the citizens from the bandits. Our Guild is willing to replace their cards with new ones." Guild master is pumping.

Like a lightning strike during the day. Konoha lost its motivation to fight them. His spirit seemed to leave his body and his body was just lying leaning on the sofa.

" A, right Bandit. Paps.. Guild Masters... I came to register as an exterminator. "

Konoha with his crazy idea tried to take face, although his own papa will not allow him only to show his face and all will certainly go according to his plan this time.

Take the heart of the boss, and show heroic action. Then Junior will feel disinclined to me. So that is currently thought of Konoha the Ninja Woman, or often called kunoichi.

Especially when he peeked at the limp Rion when he heard the word bandit.

He thought that Rion was frightened and anxious when he heard the word bandit. But the reality is other.

Konoha, who felt his victory this time was coming soon, again acted haughty in front of his juniors. If the operation is successful and his name is on the list of participants, then his degree will rise as a senior and he will no longer be underestimated.

But...

" Any, there's no need anymore. It's all done. "

" Eh!?"

" It's true, too, that you didn't tell yourself, because you knew you wouldn't be allowed by Mama "

" Eh !!?"

" Well, after all, the initial plan will indeed be done in the next few days"

" Eh!!!? "

" But out of fear that information had leaked, we agreed to move it forward, and exactly three days ago we succeeded without constraint. We managed to subdue all the Bandits from their various headquarters. We also managed to secure the abductees and the loot "

" Masters.. " Izumi stopped the ravings that the Guild masters showed off, without knowing that two people were losing spirits in their seats.

" Hohoho's.. You guys tired already?. Just like that, young people today. Huahaha. Yes I have stayed first, I must return to the Guild. There are a lot of files that need to be completed after the ambush. I leave my daughter to you guys because it looks like you guys are getting along, she is a little spoiled but she is actually an independent child. Yes, I've already said."

After returning to this chattering, the muscle brain man left the room. Even after reaching outside the sound was still heard to their room.

There was the sound of a soldier's scream that prevented the muscle brain that was deliberately trying to step on the cover cloth of the used hole burying Rion earlier.

Truly a troublesome man from all sorts of angles.

*****

Half an hour later...

Two people who were in a coma regained consciousness at the same time.

The first person they saw was the person next to them.

It turned out that the other two people, Izumi and momo, had already pranked them and tendered them to each other.

They both woke up awkwardly. Rion is awkward because a girl the same age as her younger sister Maki was on her shoulder when she woke up. Likewise with Konoha, a handsome, mischievous-looking man appeared when he woke up on his shoulder.

What kind of messed up thought he had to have, did he see his face while sleeping? Did he salivate? Was he delirious ? Was his face wrinkled?. Such a feminine thought flashed through her head.

They got up from sitting awkwardly with each other.

Rion realized, Konoha must have thought of various things like that. But he didn't know what to react to. All this time all the girls around him nothing was normal.

Rion feels guilty, a little. So as to improve good relations with future relationships he gets an idea.

" Konoha Chan "

" Chan ?"

" Can't you ?"

" uh. I'm an adult, don't mind. Huhhhh.. " Say the Labile Youth Ninja.

" Want a sweet snack before lunch ?"

" o.. Sweet snack ?"

" Yup, there's Roll Cake, Pancake with Syrup, Banana Cup Cake, Fruit-flavored Ice Cream there are many more, you want ?"

" Huh, don't think I'll be persuaded by sweet foods. "

Although the speech and shy attitude of the cat is contrary to his pride, but it is clear that he can not wait to eat everything. Even in the radiance of his eyes as if seen all the sweet snacks were dancing to be eaten.

" Good then, follow me "

Rion walked out of the room and traced the long, labyrinth-like passageways. They walked for a long time but found no one.

In fact he felt Dejavu every time passing through the Vase next to the Antique Wall Clock that was currently in front of him.

Konoha was not even aware that she had been invited to pass the same place several times. He was still busy with Illusions about the sweet snacks that would be given to him.

Rion himself was reluctant to ask Konoha to show the location of the Kitchen, because his own people were busy imagining about the sweet Snacks. Moreover, Rion also does not want anyone else to know that he likes to get lost.

Rion continued to climb the halls again with all the memories in his head, along with Konoha who continued to follow.

Until they again and again pass through the same Flower Vase and Wall Clock again.

The wall clock ticked 3 times when they came to visit for the umpteenth time.

The loud voice resuscitated Konoha from its illusory world.

He thought she was lucky that no one had seen her with an impolite expression, as the daughter of the noble her attitude just now was completely unsightly.

In a second later, Konoha realized that they were on the wrong path, without realizing they had crossed the same path for the umpteenth time.

" Rion-san. Where are we really going ?"

" Kitchen "Say Rion relaxed while continuing to step his legs.

Currently his brain is uploading this house plan at the speed of a computer. But all the upload results still display the same floor plan, but where is the error ?

" Kitchen?, ugh... "

Konoha groans when it hears the word Kitchen. The conscious Rion stopped his steps.

"Right as well, it's impolite for a noble princess to eat in the kitchen. But to bring Konoha to the dining room also needs a new location plan." Thought in the heart.

Not out of sense, Rion got an idea.

" Ah, I'm sorry. I completely forgot I was taking a noble. Hahaha the habit at home, I'm sorry I'm sorry." He said while scratching the back of his head that was not itchy.

Fiuh~~

Rion was relieved that his dignity was not damaged.

But Konoha does not feel bad but feels anxious when you hear the word kitchen. His body trembled and his eyes moved to and fro.

" Noroha-Chan... Don't-don't... The Cat Thief that the people in the kitchen were talking about... "

Konoha was getting more panicked and was shaking more violently, beating the cold sweat that was pouring out.

" Hooo~~ is so so "

" A.. I'll just wait in the room, make sure you don't lie with your words "

Rion deliberately put on a stupid look and tilted his head.

" Sec.ce.."

" See.. ?"

" o.. Snacks. Make sure you bring it !!"

After saying so, Konoha left with a dead red face.

Pfft...

In the heart of Rion is grateful that her dignity was saved, on the other hand she is also grateful that the Cat Thief Who Troubles People in the kitchen is a worrisome Cat.

" Anoo~~ "

Rion shuddered after hearing the voice of someone behind him, he simply did not feel the air of that person's existence.

As he turned around, from the door next to the wall clock appeared a pair of beautiful eyes.

"  Marry, if you've been there before, do you know how troublesome it is to go through the same place 10 times ?"

" Fufu~~ "Maid, who is often called Marry, opens the door and exits the room while laughing elegantly.

" Don't Fufufu to me "Rion is upset while covering his face.

" I'm sorry for my disrespect, it's just that I can't bear to see Miss's happy face after all this time."

" Yasudah Lah, then what are you doing "

" I had just finished my morning shif and was resting for a while before getting ready for lunch, then I heard familiar footsteps that I ventured to peek."

" Marry San, peeping is disrespectful behavior."

" he... But I enjoyed it"

" Don't enjoy "Disput Rion with his tsukomi. A slow chop landed on Marry the Maid's head.

Marry who was not deterred was getting more and more happy.

*****

As an apology, Marry ended his break and went to take Rion to his office.

Kitchen

Arriving in the kitchen all personnel felt relieved when they saw the face of his rescuer appear.

Their faces were cheerful again as if their burdens had melted away from their shoulders.

Although at first glance they look exhausted but their spirit is able to cover it all.

Rion who was no less excited also started to do his duty after giving a little greeting.

It didn't take long for Rion to go around helping them while still doing his part.

Because the kitchen has now been expanded, and switched functions to a modern canteen. Some new faces also appear there, so that even though the portion of food that must be made increases, but everything can be overcome with additional personnel who have just been in shape.

Several soldiers and casualties a few days ago started arriving.

Canteen. As the name suggests, use a Ball pick up system. Customers will come to order and be served directly, for the drinks they have to take themselves in a place that has been provided and alone.

There are 6 extra long tables of 12 overall. This place really became spacious.

The host of this place did not even think twice about overhauling this place. Although only breaking down the two barrier walls that were previously a dining room for soldiers.

"The results do not betray the effort"

That's the persuasion word that Rion said. And sure enough, this place is no less spacious than the restaurants located in the capital.

And again the host feels their home is getting lively and cheerful. Their Soldiers and Servants and Maids look more alive.

Certainly the reason is because their food menu is increasingly varied and delicious flavors that they might not even get in a fancy restaurant though and a new atmosphere in the dining room.

This also underlies the previous operations of being successful with no death toll from their side.

"Food power"

Thought everybody.

"Well, they're not wrong. The power to continue eating delicious food after the war, made them reluctant to die."

The host laughed out loud when he realized such a trivial thing.

Let's put that thing aside. We better see Rion's development on his desk.

Rion had already finished the decoration on her two-tier cake.

It looks funny with chocolate formed by several small cats complete with cats and cat palaces that are playing with herd.

For the drink, make your own soda. With lemon fruit decoration on the lips of glass cups, spoons and small umbrellas as a finishing. Rion prepared 6 glasses just in case.

Once enough was felt, Rion began packing while giving input to the newcomer chef.

" Be calm, you will also get used to it for a long time"

With a big smile revealing his row of gleaming white teeth, Rion withdrew and went out of the kitchen towards a new battleground.

Accompanying some Maid of course. Each of them happily pushed the food carriage at their Master.

Arriving at the new war site, Rion saw an additional face. Lucky he made more.

Konoha and her two little cousins, Roy and Alice, are also their mothers Mrs Patricia.

Also Momo.

Konoha room is not like a girl's room in general, even Rion can realize even in the other world a girl will not be possible to have such a narrow room, especially Konoha is a girl who grew up.

In general, a girl's room will contain decorations and displays that look sweet and funny. But it is different for the Konoha case.

Although this mansion is the most luxurious mansion in this city, but one of the rooms looks different on its own.

Not only the inside, the outside of the building and even the porch is completely changed.would it be walls, floors, attics to ornaments in the room, everything smells of Japanese and Ninja.

So as to damage the Aesthetic form of the European-style building.

Miraculously, no one is worried.

Or don't they get tired and choose to ignore it?

That was how Rion and Momo thought that they had only been quiet since entering the room.

Their faces seem to want to express their opinions, but they are self-conscious and prefer to hold in their hearts.

If you want to comment, it is better to wait for the other party himself to start.

Then, the snack tasting event turned into a small tea party.

And until the end of the show, there was nothing to mention about this girl room called Konoha.

" Yes ninja.. "

Rion muttered as he stared at the wooden ceiling, his mind as if going far away leaving everyone coolly chatting.

I don't know what's on his mind, but the suspicious smile he's drawing on his face right now, indicates he's planning something crazy.
