Senran Kagura: The Prophecy of the Scroll

(5) Evil Ninja (?)

Arata: Thank you.

Merchant: Come back anytime.

I do my shopping. I don't want to mooch off Ninjas since they're already kind enough to protect me. My parents still send me money anyway so really all I need to do is be mindful of where I withdraw money and where I buy stuff.

Arata: Ah...Been a while since I last had Bean sprouts, might as well get some while I'm still here.

Merchant: What are ya buyin'?

Arata: I'd like some bea-

???: I'd like to buy some bean sprouts please!

Arata/???: Ah.

Merchant: I only have a bag of sprouts left.

Arata: ...

The girl looks at me.

Arata: G-Go ahead.

???: Ah~ Thank you!

The girl pays for her bean sprouts.

Arata: ....

I walk away.

Maaaaan~ I was craving for some sprouts too-

Merchant: Not enough cash. Stranger.

Arata: ...?

???: Eh!? Did the price increase again!?

Merchant: Afraid so.

???: no waaaay~!

Is she gonna cry!?

Arata: u-um...If you're that desperate, maybe we can split the price and split the sprouts?

???: Huh? U-um...Sure! If you're okay with that.

I pay for my half...........

.....by the way she only paid 1/4th of the price. But I'm not gonna bring that up.

I ask for a plastic bag from the merchant.

.....which cost me more money of course.

Merchant: Come back anytime.

Arata: Well then um...

Yomi: My name is Yomi. Thanks for agreeing to split the price with me.

She bows.

Arata: No big deal. I was craving for sprouts anyway. Well then, Could you hold this open for me?

Yomi: of course.

She holds the plastic bag open as I slowly pour bean sprouts into it.

Arata: There we go. Looks like half to me.

Yomi: Indeed. Thank you again...um...I don't think I caught your name.

Arata: Sakamachi Arata. Pleased to meet ya.

Yomi: The pleasure's all mi- ..... Sakamachi....Arata?

...........

Arata: ....Please don't tell me you're one of the people trying to kill me.

Yomi: No, thankfully. Otherwise this Would have been a very awkward encounter.

Arata: phew.

Yomi: Though a word of advice, Stay away from anyone wearing a black sailor school uniform. There's a high chance those ninjas will kill you.

Arata: Are...Are you a Ninja too?

Yomi: Yup! ...Though I am a renegade.

Arata: Renegade?
