Chapter 55 Common Enemy
The smell of pork floss is faintly diffused in the air along with the burping of Todo Orange.
She froze on the spot.
"Excuse me." The landlady, Yukino Mito, didn't seem to have any change on her face, maintaining a friendly smile.
However, Todo Xiangcheng can’t stand herself!
In those lean years, if you go out and burp, you will feel confident.
For example, during the old age in the late Qing Dynasty, some down-and-out Eight Banners disciples would take a piece of lard and smear it on their mouths to show their status as having eaten meat.
However, nowadays, you burp as soon as you meet someone.
Okay, that’s fine, just smile and let it pass.
But the taste of pork floss is really embarrassing, okay?
"Ah!" Todo Xiangcheng covered his face and hid in the bathroom.
What's even more pitiful is that the room is too small, and even if you pretend to wash your hands, you will be seen, so you have to close the door.
So, she shut herself up in the bathroom.
However, because he couldn't live with it, Toudou Kaori found an excuse and shouted loudly in the bathroom, "It's all because of Oda-sensei's big move yesterday that I'm still numb to this day!"
There are three black lines on Namikaze Yukaku's forehead.
Is this melon girl actually willing to detonate herself as a watermelon bomb?
After Oda-kun becomes famous, be careful of her loud mouth and any scandals she may cause.
Mrs. Yukino at the door blinked with interest, but didn't ask any further questions.
"Don't listen to her nonsense. It's just that Oda Shingo accidentally touched the tendon on her elbow yesterday." Namikaze Yukaku stood up and walked slowly to the door, "Welcome, who are you?"
She spoke in an orderly manner, like a housewife asking questions about the guests who came to her door.
And it's condescending.
Namikaze Yukaku is nearly half a head taller than the landlady, and his long legs are even more obvious compared to his kimono attire.
"I'm the landlord. It's snowy and it's deep winter. Please take care of me." The landlady bowed slightly.
Namikaze Yukaku returned the greeting slightly: "Do you have anything to do with my Oda Shingo?"
Todo Xiangcheng, who was hiding in the bathroom and blushing, heard this and suddenly felt that it was very unrealistic.
Listen to your name and fool strangers, right? Give me back my home? Whose house is it?
"I am the landlord Yukino Mito. I came here in a hurry and didn't greet you in advance. I'm really sorry."
"Hello, I am Namikaze Yukuru here."
Mrs. Yukino Mifuyu thought for a while: "Namikaze? It's a rare surname. It's been a long, long time... I haven't met anyone from the Namikaze family in Konoha Village..."
"Do you know my father?" Namikaze Youkaku was stunned.
"...I don't know him." The professional smile on Yukino Mito's face turned into a meaningful smile, and he changed the subject and said, "I think I know who that person was that day."
Namikaze Youkaku didn't dare to answer.
It would be better not to mention what happened in the closet that day.
Yukino late in the winter handed over a bag in his hand, "I originally came to collect the rent today on the weekend, but a mother-in-law who rented a house gave me some pickles. But I don't like this kind of food, so I thought Send it to Mr. Oda."
"Ah, I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of my Oda Shingo." Namikaze Yukaku took it.
"Please tell Mr. Oda that the remake of the manga is very good, and I have been promoted from a reader to his loyal fan." Yukino Mito covered her lips and chuckled.
Namikaze Yukaku looked at her.
This lady's temperament is elegant and generous, with a unique beauty that stands alone.
He may have a gentle smile, but his temperament is far away from others.
This is somewhat similar to my reputation among my classmates, but it is not cold and dark, but rather lonely and high on the snowy mountains.
Pure snow that no one can defile.
She remembered the stories her mother told her when she was a child.
Snow woman.
It was a mysterious monster whose skin was as thick as snow and came and went like frost.
She is extremely beautiful and charming.
If she falls in love with a human man, she will hold him in her arms day after day until he freezes to death and turns into a block of ice. Then she takes him to the deepest part of the snow-capped mountains and becomes an icy rock that embraces each other forever...
"Sorry for bothering you, let me take my leave." Yukino Shendong bowed slightly.
Namikaze Youkaku returned the gift: "Thank you for your hard work, I apologize for not sending it as a gift."
He didn't even say any polite words to let her come in and sit down, but in terms of face, it was still okay.
The landlord, Mrs. Yukino, said goodbye and left.
Todo Xiangcheng had already returned to the door from the bathroom: "Humph, that's all."
Namikaze Youkaku glanced at her and said calmly: "Bankou."
Todo Xiangcheng choked in one breath.
"Hey, hey, hey, we are comrades now, right?" Todo Xiangcheng tried to win over a gang mate.
When facing this Mrs. Yukino, she felt a little... aware that she was no match.
"You have no confidence." Namikaze Youkaku looked at his wife's retreating figure and sighed softly. I don't have confidence either. She added secretly in her mind.
"Of course I'm not confident! Look at her facial features, her demeanor, her smile, and her body shape and skin. Don't you think it's scary?" Todo Kouchi pointed out the areas where she felt timid.
"What's scary?"
"I can't believe that this looks like a married woman. I heard that after a woman gets married, her appearance decreases by 20%. How beautiful would she have been before she got married?"
"...Do you think she has ever been married?"
"Huh? Isn't the bun on her head that belongs to a married woman?"
"Judging from the dress, it's not allowed. My family taught me how to spot a girl pretending to be a woman, although I'm a little confused about this landlady."
"You ninjas all have weird abilities."
Namikaze Youkaku rolled his eyes: "...Has someone ever said that good words don't sound good when they come out of your mouth?"
Todo Xiangcheng scratched his head: "Hahaha."
"Oda-kun was standing at the door and looking at her back."
"Oh, they have known each other for a long time? Even before you?"
Namikaze Yukaku immediately denied: "I was earlier!"
"You screamed so loudly." Todo Xiangcheng covered his ears.
Namikaze Yukaku stared at the landlady's figure for a few more seconds, and said quietly: "Oda Shingo is not worthy of her."
"Huh? What kind of comparison do you think this is?"
"nothing."
"But judging from her appearance, it makes sense. She is too beautiful."
"Then you still deny me?"
"No."
The two stood together and talked for a few more words until the landlady was completely invisible.
"That's the charm of a classical beauty, right?"
"yes."
The two women each sighed, closed the door and continued working.
Miraculously, there was no more bickering.
The two of them quietly went about their own business.
"Hey, how many collections do you have?"
"Fifteen thousand."
Namikaze Yukaku gave a thumbs up: "Oda-sensei is great!"
"We are all great!"
"No, he's the best, I know that."
Todo Xiangcheng's eyes lit up: "Tell me more about it..."
Click——
The key was inserted deeply into the door lock, and the door opened quickly.
Oda Shingo came in with large and small packages.
"Huh? You are here so early." Oda Shingo was very happy. When he came in, he saw two working girls working.
Namikaze Youkaku stepped forward to pick up the things: "Welcome back."
She easily took the big package with one hand.
"Hey, you're talking as if this is your home. Don't forget that I came here first." Todo Xiangcheng corrected.
She also took over other things easily.
Oda Shingo blinked: "The girls are so strong now."
Namikaze Yukaku said calmly: "It's just that today, you arrived a little early. Tomorrow, you will definitely be later than me."
Oda Shingo took apart the large package and found the assembled parts of a table.
"Wow! My new table?" Todo Xiangcheng was surprised.
"Also, I bought this for you too." Oda Shingo took out a light yellow apron with many orange patterns on it.
"Ah, I, I..." Todo Xiangcheng suddenly remembered.
Yesterday I asked Oda Shingo what style of apron he liked, but he went back too late last night and came here early in the day, so he forgot about it.
It’s rare that he still thinks about me!
Toudo Xiangcheng took apart the new apron and held it in front of her face. She seemed to be smelling the smell of chemical fiber, but she deliberately exposed her eyes.
Looking quietly, Oda Shingo is assembling a new table.
Although Oda Shingo is not worthy of the kimono woman just now, he is still...
A little handsome!
