Chapter Thirty-Five: Living Alone

In the weeks after becoming the Shadow Ministry, Chiyo did not receive a task.

During this time, Chiyo's squad also didn't go on a mission because Chiyo's teammates were in some trouble.

One day at noon, in a private room on the third floor of a restaurant.

At this time, the weather is hot, and too much sunlight shines on the street, making pedestrians who have not yet adapted to the change of seasons sweat.

The light filters through the windows and becomes much cooler when it arrives inside, so the temperature in the private room is very comfortable.

Still wearing his green workout clothes, he sat on a chair and stole a glance at the table full of untouched dishes.

Those dishes have been sitting there for a while, and they must have been cold by this time, but judging by their delicate dishes, even if they are cold, they must be delicious.

Thinking of eating, he came back to his senses and looked at the moth opposite. This companion of his has been in a bad mood recently, and today he has even reached the point of having no appetite to eat, since this is the case, then of course he should not eat, and it is the right thing to help his companion solve the problem.

However, he is not very good at using his brain!

Dai was still self-aware of this, so he stared at the table with his chin in his hands, pretending to think, and listened to the conversation between Moth and Chiyo with a serious face. When he felt that he could interject, he decisively put forward some suggestions that seemed better to him.

While those suggestions were supposed to be of little use, he felt that it was necessary to say so.

"That means the old patriarch won't allow you to move out anyway, and after you put forward all the reasons I taught, he still won't allow you?"

This is Chiyo confirming something to Moth, and his voice is calm, like a mature adult, which makes Dai very envious.

Envy is different from yearning, Maite Dai doesn't yearn for anyone, he thinks that he is in a good state, but he envies people like Chiyo.

These people are talented, emotionally intelligent (Dai's opinion), and everything is smooth sailing in life, and they don't seem to be frustrated, because from his calm demeanor, you feel that any difficulty in front of him will become a push-up: it can be solved with one finger.

Maite Dai didn't know and didn't want to know what this kind of life was like, but looking at Chiyo who was in this kind of life, he felt that such a life must be very happy.

Happy, huh.

……

Well? Distracted again?!

After cursing himself a few words in his heart, Dai quietly deepened his breathing, furrowed his thick brows to concentrate, and then glanced at the flower moth who was speaking.

“…… I don't want to take over the family business. I think it's nice to open a barbecue restaurant that interests me and makes a living. ”

Well? How did the topic end here?

And the moth said that she was going to open a barbecue restaurant in the future?

After being stunned for a while, Dai hurriedly asked, "Flower Moth, are you not a ninja in the future?" ”

"It's not a conflict, I mean that the main business in the future is to open a store. And there's nothing wrong with ninjas, it's just that they don't focus on doing tasks. ”

"Won't it be hard for us to work together again?" As he spoke, Dai gradually became lost. Chiyo joins the Shadows, so she performs special missions. Now the moth is about to open a shop again, which makes it even more difficult for the three of them to work together to do tasks together.

This feeling of companions gradually moving away made Dai very uncomfortable.

"Dai, you know where my home is, right?"

He heard Chiyo's voice, then nodded.

"Do you know the moth's address?"

Nodding again.

"Therefore, it is not a parting of life and death. You can come and play with us when you're fine, and if Moth's barbecue is opened, we'll get together often, because we'll definitely be eating at her shop. ”

Thinking about the barbecue restaurant, Maite Dai felt that Chiyo was right. So a hearty smile appeared on his face.

After persuading Dai, Chiyo suddenly thought of something, and then muttered to herself.

"Address?"

After thinking about it in his heart, he turned his head to look at Flower Moth: "Flower Moth, have you planned where you will live after you move out?" ”

"Nope. I can't move out right now. ”

With helplessness and grievance in her tone, Chiyo estimated that she was in a hurry. This is how a little girl who thinks she is mature is determined to do something, and then is stopped by her elders.

And her expression is quite complex and funny, and intuitively, Chiyo thinks that she should take this picture. It's a pity he hasn't bought a camera yet.

This thought didn't delay Chiyo from thinking about things in his head, and as soon as Hua Moth finished speaking, he continued: "I think that since the old patriarch is so desperate to stop you, it should be that he is reluctant to let you go, after all, he is better to you than to his own son." ”

Saying that, Chiyo also thought of another reason: the old patriarch had retired, and now it is estimated that there is nothing to do, so he is even more reluctant to leave.

But he didn't say it, after all, he was a ten-year-old child in front of him, and he couldn't tell the good from the bad well.

"Isn't it because I'm not up to it?"

"It's not. If you want to talk about ability, you are already a middle ninja, and of course you already have the ability to live alone. ”

After a little encouragement to the moth, Chiyo's tone then changed, "However, the patriarch's obvious reason will of course be that your ability is not enough, because he still wants to save face." ”

Seeing that the flower moth was already a little confused, Chiyo took into account her IQ, so she skipped the intermediate step and directly said the solution: "All in all, you need to show that you do have the ability to live alone. ”

The effect was remarkable, and the moth's doubts really dissipated a lot, and then he looked at it with a blank eye, obviously looking forward to Chiyo's next words.

"To be more specific: you need to practice. Arrange the things you need to do after you move out, such as renting an apartment, looking for a job, and try to live a good life in your free time. At that point, you practice the wording a little more, and the patriarch should be fine. ”

After saying that, Chiyo took a sip of beer.

Looking at the moth who was thinking there, he felt that it would take a long time for her to finish thinking, so he beckoned to Dai and motioned for him to eat.

Then I saw Dai raise his eyebrows, and pointed at the moth while opening his mouth, although he didn't make a sound, but it should be asking if the moth's matter has been resolved.

Chiyo nodded again, and then he began to pour the wine, and Dai couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks.
