Chapter 100: Can You Yourself Also Be Freely Taken?

Chapter 100: Can You Yourself Also Be Freely Taken?

"This is considered my private villa. It's generally for distinguished guests who haven't booked a room during the peak season," Senju Wakama said as he opened the shoe cabinet. "The entryway cabinet has wooden clogs of various sizes, all brand new. You can choose a suitable pair to use."

"The wardrobe contains yukatas of various sizes. Men's are blue, women's are red, and there are also children's sizes. Please feel free to choose a suitable one."

"Outside the narrow corridor is an artificial hot spring. The wardrobe on the side has clean bath towels. Please use them freely. After use, please put them in the laundry basket. Someone will come to tidy up and collect them daily."

"The first floor has a kitchen, living room, dining room, and study. The bedrooms are on the second floor..."

Tamayo Nara silently followed behind Senju Wakama, not making any unfriendly actions.

She had been thinking a lot along the way.

Although Senju Wakama had his back to her, Tamayo Nara could sense that while Senju Wakama maintained a friendly demeanor, he was very vigilant; this could be felt through his body language.

It wasn't until Senju Wakama had finished all the introductions.

Tamayo Nara crossed her arms, her voice light as she said, "...From the moment I entered until now, the phrase you've said most often is 'please feel free to take and use.'"

Senju Wakama maintained his original smile, nodding, "Yes."

At the hot spring street's grand temple fair, cabinets with clean tableware were everywhere, free to use;

When the grand temple fair was open, tourists could play games while enjoying delicious food, eating whatever they wanted, free to take;

Beside the hot spring pools, clean bath towels were neatly placed in readily visible wardrobes; when getting out of the hot spring, one could freely take a towel;

Clean wooden clogs placed in readily visible cabinets, free to take;

Clean yukatas placed in guest room wardrobes, free to take;

Tamayo Nara was stating a fact; Senju Wakama didn't see any problem with it.

"Then, you yourself, can you also be 'freely taken'?" Tamayo Nara said this with a deadpan expression, quite seriously.

Senju Wakama had already been in relationships with two girls; he was no longer that "inexperienced" naive young man.

Upon hearing Tamayo Nara's words, which were unclear whether a test or a joke.

Senju Wakama smiled faintly, "Regrettably, items placed in the 'free to take' locations can be freely taken, but people, well, they are not for free taking."

"Judging by your reaction, you seem quite at ease with the opposite sex." Tamayo Nara crossed her arms.

Senju Wakama chuckled lightly, "Thank you for the compliment."

Tamayo Nara rolled her eyes and said no more.

Senju Wakama had no intention of courting a rebuff either. He timely changed the subject, reminding, "I've already handled the check-in procedures for you. It doesn't count towards the Nara clan's three treatment slots per half-year. Today's fee is waived. If you continue to stay, I can give you a discounted price."

After speaking, Senju Wakama exited the villa, leaving Tamayo Nara alone.

Walking out of the hot spring villa, Senju Wakama showed no reluctance, never looking back.

After signing the cooperation agreement with the Nara clan.

Senju Wakama paused further cooperation commissions.

They needed to first observe the cooperation with the Nara clan before considering cooperation with other ninja clans.

In fact, cooperation plans with clans like the Akimichi, Yamanaka, and Aburame had already been discussed by Senju Wakama's family.

But the time was not yet ripe.

To avoid the negative consequences of cooperation and to accumulate experience in cooperation, Senju Tsukuyo had them secure the Nara clan first.

If they couldn't even stabilize one family, then they shouldn't aim too high.

However...

Senju Wakama had thought that Tamayo Nara would leave after staying one night at the Senju clan after signing the contract.

But Tamayo Nara ended up staying for three consecutive days.

More than three days, and Senju Wakama smelled something unusual.

That was Senju Wakama's private territory, and it was a VIP villa prepared for distinguished guests who couldn't get a room during peak season.

It was definitely not acceptable for Tamayo Nara to keep staying like this.

Although Senju Wakama had previously said that continuing to stay would require payment, Tamayo Nara had already moved in and had stayed for more than two days without settling the fees.

In the hot spring area, every three hours, Senju clan ninjas would go to clean used bath towels and dinner plates.

For these two days, Senju clan members would find Tamayo Nara and persuade her in a good-natured way to settle the fees.

But Tamayo Nara would always leisurely say to wait a little longer.

The Senju clan members all knew that the Nara clan had just reached a cooperation agreement with the Senju clan.

At this juncture, the Senju clan did not resort to violent debt collection.

If it were some ordinary tourist in arrears, the Senju clan had plenty of ways to make them pay.

But now the one in arrears had become a cooperation partner...

The Senju clan members responsible for collecting fees had no choice but to report this matter to Senju Wakama.

Senju Wakama wrote about this matter in a letter and had a crow deliver it to Senju Tsukuyo, who was far away in the Uchiha clan.

And Senju Tsukuyo quickly replied to Senju Wakama, telling him to act as he saw fit.

The information Senju Tsukuyo could find about Tamayo Nara was only recent because the crows could only transmit information that Senju Tsukuyo had them collect. There was no turning back time, so it was impossible to learn about Tamayo Nara's past through animals.

The information was not much, but it was quite shocking.

Senju clan lands.

Senju Wakama's private room was a 200-square-meter duplex room, equipped with a kitchen, dining room, bathroom, living room, study, and bedroom.

At this moment, Senju Wakama was sitting in the living room reading the letter from his younger sister.

"...Speculating that she was extremely lacking in love during her childhood, and even abused by her biological parents? What... the hell is this?"

Senju Wakama looked at the information in the letter, completely bewildered.

Senju Tsukuyo said that Tamayo Nara must have experienced something in the past, which led to her current behavior.

The animals in the Senju clan had told Senju Tsukuyo what they had seen and heard.

Based on their accounts, Senju Tsukuyo analyzed Tamayo Nara's general situation.

The crows said that the girl staying in Wakama's villa met with her other clansmen at the door on the second day of her stay.

The Nara clan personnel who had accompanied her to the Senju clan at that time intended to leave the Senju clan with her.

But the girl only handed the contract scroll to her companions, asking them to return to the Nara clan first, while she herself stayed behind.

Then, on the second and third days, this girl would often wear the yukata provided by the Senju clan and stroll alone in the hot spring street.

This girl, Tamayo Nara, disliked crowded places and would always stick to the corners to avoid passersby. She often stood in a corner observing passersby for a long time.
