My Demon Tenant Can't Be This Cute!

My Demon Tenant Needs a Pair of Glasses

Somehow, a week had already passed, and he had his new appearance had yet to be found out.

It was actually not that hard. Whenever he left the apartment, all he had to do was transform his appearance into his original self. Then he would just have to avoid every single Hyunga in the entire village, which was also easy, since most Hyunga usually stayed within their own district.

The only thing he really had to worry about was accidentally wandering in front of Neji or Hinata while they had their Byakugan out.

Where was Hinata these days?

Last thing he heard, she had decided to hole up with Tenten after she got into an argument with her father.

Something about the two of them running away together?

What was that about anyways?

Oh well.

Back to the main subject. While he handled the actual hiding his new features, Tsunade made sure to quell any rumors about him. Honestly, she did better damage control than Old Man Sarutobi did and he was grateful for that.

It also helped that Kyuumi had fashioned him a cowl out of her chakra. It was orange, just like his jacket! He thought he looked really cool in it. Kyuumi had laughed at him when he had decided to strike a bunch of poses in front of his mirror.

At first, she had teased him and then she found herself doing th exact same thing with him.

That was when he had discovered that she was insanely flexible and that she could pull off much more badass poses than he could.

He puffed his cheeks out and huffed. He was still a little bit jealous.

He wanted to pull off badass poses too.

Kyuumi had tried to reassure him that his poses were also badass, but he knew she was just saying that to make him feel better.

Not that it did not make him feel better.

Overall, his life felt sort of like something out of a fluffy romance manga. He hoped it stayed that way.

Naruto was suddenly knocked out of his thoughts when he felt a dainty finger poke his cheek, prompting him to turn his head and look at his companion.

"Hmm?"

"What are you thinking about, Naruto?" asked Kyuumi as she playfully pointed her chopsticks at him.

They were currently eating in a teppanyaki stall at the moment. Kyuumi had ordered the sea urchin cressons while he had simply opted for some grilled scallops on rice. It was kind of obvious who was the spoiled one in the relationship, judging by how much pricier the dish Kyuumi ordered was.

While scallops could be harvested near the coast, sea urchins lived in much colder waters and had to be sourced from places like Kiri, which made it just that much more expensive to transport to Konoha.

At least, that was what the guy making their food had told him when he asked why the heck sea urchins were so expensive.

Honestly, he sorta wished food was simpler and less expensive.

He did not mind though. As long as Kyuumi was happy, he was happy.

Most of the time anyways.

"I was just thinking about some of the stuff happening recently," answered Naruto with a shrug before looking back down at his food.

"Oh? What kind of stuff..?"

"Just about how I've been getting use to having fox ears," replied Naruto, shrugging once more.
