Chapter 12 Procurement
"Huh?" Higashino Yu was puzzled for a moment, and then he realized that Natsukawa Ayano was talking about him turning the pen, "Oh, this, it's nothing." ”
Higashino Yu stopped the pen in his hand, "Well, the price is fine." ”
"No problem." Natsukawa Ayano came back to his senses, "Things should be able to be bought in half a day, if you decorate them...... Just a simple decoration, it shouldn't take too long, right? ”
"Okay, I'll take this commission, when will it start?"
"I just have to buy things today, and if I decorate them, I have to go to a party tomorrow, because I have to go to a party today."
"Well, no problem, where's the shopping list?"
"Here."
Natsukawa Ayano took out a small note and handed it to Higashino Yu, the note was full of things to buy.
"By the way, there is this, shopping funds, if there is less by then, please trouble Brother You, you can pay it in advance, and then you can find me to reimburse it."
"Yes." Yu Higashino took the envelope containing the money handed by Ayano Natsukawa.
"Then everything will trouble you, brother." Natsukawa Ayano stood up as she spoke, ready to take her leave.
"It's no trouble to get paid for things." Higashino Yu said in his usual cold tone.
Natsukawa Ayano didn't care either, and left after saying a few words of goodbye.
Higashino Yu looked at the door, recalling in his mind what Natsukawa Ayano was good at, and if he could brush the skill from her, he didn't know what kind of skill it would be.
Not to mention, Yu Higashino is quite looking forward to it.
"Brother Yuu!" The sound came from the door again, it was Naruto who had returned.
"Brother You, just now I saw the sister from before again, is she here again?"
"Hmm." After answering, Higashino Yu looked at Naruto with a curious look and explained more.
"There's something she wants me to help with."
"Commission!? In other words, we have a business! Naruto shouted, seemingly even more excited than the shopkeeper Higashino.
"Hmm." Higashino nodded helplessly.
"What commission? When do we act? Now? A barrage of questions jumped out of Naruto's mouth.
This was the reason why Higashino Yu was helpless, he knew that Naruto would definitely ask a lot, and he would also need to explain a lot with difficulty.
"The store she opened needs to be renovated, so she entrusted me to buy decoration materials, and then she will help with the decoration tomorrow, as for when to act......" Speaking of this, Higashino paused, hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak.
"Go buy it now."
Since you have accepted someone else's commission, you must do it well.
Not only because Yu Higashino can acquire a skill after satisfying the client, but also because his life creed is like this, what he promised others must be done seriously.
"Good! Go buy ...... now" Naruto's voice was excited at first, but suddenly stopped again.
Shopping...... If he goes, isn't it......
A pair of eyes full of disgust, words of refusal to sell things to him, came to Naruto's heart.
"Forget it, Brother You, go by yourself, I just ran a trip and I'm a little tired." Naruto's voice was much lower, and he really looked a little tired.
Higashino Yu wasn't able to guess why Naruto had changed this way.
"Let's go together."
"Brother You, it's okay for you to go alone, I'll look at the store here."
"Are you worried that they'll hate you?" Seeing Naruto like this, Higashino Yu asked directly.
"......" Naruto pursed his lips and shook his head.
"What's the reason for that?"
“…… If you see me walking with you, Brother You, and they don't sell you things, it will be troublesome. Naruto looks like he's grinning, but he's actually very sensitive inside.
Higashino Yu's heart was a little touched, but his tone was still so cold and indifferent.
"It's okay, it won't bother me, let's go."
This cold tone as usual made Naruto raise his slightly lowered head again.
"Really, won't?"
"Hmm."
"And it might be a bit much, I need you to get some for me."
“…… All right. ”
In the end, Naruto still followed Higashino out the door, but his mood was not as excited as before, as if he was a little apprehensive.
Walking on the road, Higashino Yuya began to think, what if he really encountered the kind of situation that Naruto said, what should he do?
He just said no, but after thinking about it carefully, with the character of the vast number of Konoha villagers, it is really possible.
After thinking about it for a while and not coming up with a solution, Yu Higashino focused on his two skills.
[Knife Technique] skills, directly use force to buy and sell?
It doesn't seem to be good, and even if you don't think about the impact, this kind of behavior is easy to teach bad children.
What about using the [Change] skill? How do I use it?
Gradually, Higashino Yu had an idea.
On the way to the shop that sold the items on the list, Yu Higashino picked some leaves in front of Naruto and put them in his pocket.
Naruto, who noticed this scene, was of course a little puzzled.
"Brother You, what are you doing here?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Higashino didn't explain.
Naruto was still puzzled, but he didn't ask again.
After finishing this, Higashino Yu took Naruto and walked towards the place he remembered.
There are a lot of things on the list, and of course it is not enough to go to just one store, the first one they go to is to sell paint.
Natural coloring, bright color, non-polluting, edible grade.
The owner of the shop is not bad, even when he sees Naruto, he has no special emotions, and he has always been kind.
This relieved Naruto a lot.
Then there was the second shop, and the owner frowned for a moment when he saw Naruto, but it soon unfolded again, and although his attitude was not as good as the first one, he didn't push Higashino Yu and them out.
There were no accidents at the two stores in a row, and Naruto gradually became less apprehensive.
Until the third shop, a shop that sells glassware.
"Huh! What are you doing in my shop, you demon fox! "The owner is a middle-aged man who looks fierce.
Higashino Yu frowned, and Naruto was a little flustered.
"You hurry up and get out, don't affect my other guests to come to the door, what if they say that everything I have here is polluted by your evil demon fox!"
Higashino Yuu really can't understand the brain circuits of these people.
"He's coming with me, are you still in business?"
Higashino's tone was cold, even a little colder than usual.
This tone made the shopkeeper stunned, but soon he pretended to be tough and replied: "Hmph, since you brought this demon fox in, then if you don't do your business, you won't do your business!" ”
Hearing this, Naruto's panic in his heart intensified, and he looked at Yu Higashino, and then at the uncle who was very fierce.
"Don't! Buy the things for Brother Yuu, and I'll just go out. ”
Saying that, Naruto was about to run out of the door, but suddenly he realized that his hand was being grabbed, it was Yu Higashino.
