[Hokage] Fluorescent lamp

Today is my second week at home.

Do the math and I haven't seen Scorpion since that day, and of course I haven't seen my dad either.

Although I know that my dad must have done some ulterior trick, otherwise I wouldn't have been idle as an Anbu for more than a week without any tasks.

Fortunately, there is a lot of salary left over from the previous salary, which is enough for me to squander in the recent period.

After buying dinner, I stopped at the door of Scorpion's house and looked up as usual.

Scorpion's house still didn't turn on the lights, and the room was dark.

With the bento I bought, I ate half of the rice in the sandy wind, but I didn't see the smiling face of the window scorpion.

Maybe he doesn't want to talk to me.

After meeting my dad that day I left the scorpion.

Scorpion didn't stop me or keep me. When I packed up and left, he locked himself in the puppet-making basement.

On the other side of the door are the masked screams of human beings and the strong smell of blood.

I stood at the door and said goodbye to him.

"Scorpion, I'm leaving. Goodbye."

Scorpion ignored me.

I went back to my home in despair.

After that, Hui didn't move at all.

After I went to Anbu, they also said that I didn't have any tasks and let me go back and wait for orders.

It doesn't feel good.

It feels like someone is getting fired. Yes.

I don't want to be fired, after all Anbu's salary is too high.

I ate the whole bento with sand, and the lights at Xie Zi's house couldn't be turned on.

I packed up the leftover lunch boxes and went back to my empty home feeling very disappointed.

i want scorpion...

I want a scorpion I want a scorpion I want a scorpion I want a scorpion I want a scorpion I want a scorpion.

I want to see a scorpion...

With a little cake in my mouth as a snack, I hugged my legs and lay silently on the sofa, curled up into a ball, and I really wanted to rush to see the scorpion again.

But he certainly doesn't want to see me.

Must be disappointed in me.

...I'm a cowardly good-for-nothing. It's hard for him to think highly of me.

When I rolled around on the sofa, I heard the sound of the window tapping on the glass. It didn't sound like the wind and sand blowing on the glass, but it was like...

"Scorpion?"

I jumped up in surprise, I didn't even bother to put on my slippers, and went straight to the window sill.

"Scorpion!"

I reached out and opened the curtains, and the face outside the window looked at me with a smile.

... Tsk.It turned out to be gray.

I reluctantly opened the window: "What are you doing here..."

He looked surprised and said: "Why can't I come, haven't you done the task yet?"

Been decadent at home for several days.

I forgot that my mission was given to me by Ash.

"What task..." I immediately languished, and continued to nibble on the overly sweet and dry little cake in my hand, "Please give me a task that can keep me away from Shayin Village for ten days and a half months without returning..."

I think that instead of squatting in front of Xiezi's house with sand every day to eat bento, and not having the guts to go in and ask Xiezi to explain, it's better to stay away now, out of sight and out of mind.

Unexpectedly, Hui smiled instead.

"Don't worry, this time just happens to be a mission that allows you to go out for a tour of the mountains and rivers."

I became terrified: "I'm not going to protect important people, his uncle's brother almost tortured me to death last time."

A certain time before, under the leadership of Hui, I took over a mission to protect an important person.

The important thing is actually the son of a city lord.

About my age.

However, the city's terrain is good, and the flames of war in the past have not spread.

The child could tell that he was pampered at a glance. After learning about the existence of ninjas around him, his first reaction was to ask those of us who risked our lives to protect him to use ninjutsu to make fun of him.

After being held by Hui's ear and chanted countless times, I couldn't hold back from slapping him.

I really don't have a cold for bear children.

But the scorpion kind of bear is an exception.

Hui waved his hand: "Where did you come across so many brats? The reward for this mission is not high but it will let you relax. Do you want to go?"

"……go."

I agreed with no promise.

After packing up the ninja gear, I stood at the door and looked towards Scorpion's house.

Still no lights.

I guess Scorpion didn't have dinner either, so after thinking about it, I took out the snacks from the ninja bag.

A large part of the ninja bag was empty, and I felt that it was uncomfortable to be empty, so I stuffed all the puppet scrolls in it.

Before I set off, I put the food at the door of Scorpion's house.

Although the cake was too sweet to die for, it was better than the scorpion not eating anything.

Hui stood far away and waited for me.

"Are you ready?"

"Um……"

I answered.

"Scorpion, I went on a mission... Maybe I won't be back soon, remember to eat."

I whispered to the door of Scorpion's house.

Although I know very well that the scorpion can't hear it in the basement.

I turned around and ran towards Hui, before I couldn't see Xie Zi's house completely, I vaguely saw a touch of familiar red, which quickly disappeared.

I was slightly relieved.

After feeling relieved, even the speed of travel became faster, and I rushed out of the hidden sand village with Hui and ran all the way to the desert for a long time.

I didn't think about where to run, I just followed Hui all the way.

After running for about 20 minutes, Hui turned to me and asked, "Are you tired?"

I thought about it: "It's okay... Maybe I rested for too long, I'm not very tired."

Hui narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Then let's take a rest, I'm a little tired."

I followed Ash and stopped in the desert.

Looking back at this time, even the good eyesight of a ninja can only vaguely see the outline of Sand Hidden Village.Hui led me to find a place with a leeward wind, and I looked around. As expected of a desert, there were no roots.

Hui stopped in his tracks, and asked me again, "Anything to eat?"

"...I just had dinner."

"Are you thirsty?"

"you are annoying……"

I look like him in disgust.

Although Hui usually has the suspicion of being courteous for nothing, but at this time it was obviously not normal for him to be courteous to me.

"Why did you do something bad behind my back? Tell me, is it my salary for one month or two months? If you tell me, I will spare you."

"hey-hey."

Hui grabbed his hair and looked simple and honest, but looked extremely sinister and smiled at me.

"you caught me."

"Nonsense...Look at your doggedness, even a blind person can see it."

I rolled his eyes at him, Hui still smiled like that.Although it was he who proposed to take a break, I didn't see him sit down and rest, but stood a few steps away from me.

"Small lights."

"...I don't want to talk to you."

"Little lamp, small lamp~"

"You played the game..."

"My dear, Darling, Harney, little lamp."

"Do not you upset?"

Hui opened his arms and rushed towards me unpreparedly, seeing if that posture would give me a bear hug.

"What do you want—eh...?"

I originally raised my foot to kick, but in an instant I seemed to see a cold light flashing in Hui Hui's palm.Under the reflection of the night in the desert, it is dazzling for no reason.
