Chapter 102: You're Disdaining Me

Chapter 102: You're Disdaining Me

Having wandered the hot spring street for so many days, Tamayo Nara had gathered a considerable amount of intelligence through the discussions of passersby.

The hot spring street had shops specializing in custom-made skincare products.

If guests wanted to purchase these skincare products, they first needed to go to the shop and have a Senju clan "Wellness Master" assess their skin characteristics, and then, based on their individual situation, have exclusive skincare products custom-made.

This kind of privately customized product was extremely expensive.

Of course, the Senju clan also offered mass-market products. The effect might not be as good as the privately customized ones, but they still had an effect, and, the price was relatively low.

Every day, a large number of nobles went for customization.

Not only noblewomen, but even noblemen also loved to use them.

Because these skincare products had different expiration dates, the Senju clan would only rush to produce them after the customer placed an order.

Pay the deposit first, then produce the product and deliver it.

Ensuring the money was securely in the bag.

In just five days, Tamayo Nara had profoundly understood why the Senju clan had transformed and how adept they were at raking in money.

"Miss Tamayo is truly well-informed." Senju Wakama smiled amiably, "This is a complimentary gift after settling the bill, all are small trial-sized bottles."

"After settling the bill?" Tamayo Nara looked at Senju Wakama and snorted coldly, "You asked the Nara clan for money?"

Senju Wakama smiled faintly, "The Nara Clan Head was very generous, and I also gave you a 70% discount. We can count this as pleasant cooperation."

"...Although I don't know how miraculous your so-called Wood Release-cultivated herbs are," Tamayo Nara said faintly, "if you're using ordinary medicinal herbs and selling them at this price..."

She didn't continue.

Based on her observations these past few days, Tamayo Nara estimated that the medicinal herbs obtained from the Nara clan, after being packaged by the Senju clan, could be resold at a hundred times, or even more than a thousand times the price.

Truly unscrupulous!

The key was, the customers happily paid, which was quite outrageous.

Tamayo Nara closed the gift box and didn't push it back, considering the gift accepted.

After all, Senju Wakama had already provided a way out by saying it was a complimentary gift after settling the fees. The items in the gift box were extremely exquisite, all samples, leaving no room for complaint.

If she still didn't accept, Tamayo Nara would be showing too little respect to Senju Wakama.

After accepting the gift box, Tamayo Nara took out a tea set and began to brew tea for Senju Wakama.

Precisely because of this, Senju Wakama didn't leave immediately. He smiled and said, "You are the guest, allow me."

"I've accepted your gift, please allow me to borrow your tea set to brew tea for you," Tamayo Nara said softly.

Since it was Tamayo Nara's own request, Senju Wakama didn't object. He still smiled, "There's really no need to be so polite."

Before two sentences were out, Senju Wakama habitually used flowery words, "Miss Tamayo should stay longer in our Senju clan. After you settled here, your complexion has become much rosier."

"Indeed, the Senju clan's hot spring street is a comfortable place of enjoyment, making it impossible for people not to linger and forget to return." Tamayo Nara's tea-brewing motions were just like Senju Wakama's had been earlier. Even though Senju Wakama had only brewed tea in front of her once, she had remembered every step of his tea brewing and replicated it.

And this courtyard was Senju Wakama's house; at this moment, Tamayo Nara seemed like the lady of the house.

The two chatted idly. Senju Wakama vaguely sensed something; he wasn't quite sure, so he didn't speak recklessly. He maintained a smile, "We are deeply honored that Miss Tamayo is willing to continue her stay in our clan."

Tamayo Nara pushed the first cup of tea she had made in front of Senju Wakama.

Senju Wakama picked up the teacup.

Tamayo Nara used the tea set from this house, the tea leaves from this house, the water provided by this house's plumbing system…

Everything was a tool already present in Senju Wakama's villa.

However, because something felt strange, Senju Wakama merely held the teacup and didn't drink the tea.

Sitting opposite him, Tamayo Nara also picked up her teacup. Unlike Senju Wakama before, she wasn't constantly brewing and refilling tea.

Tamayo Nara didn't drink tea either.

The two quietly looked at each other for a good while.

Tamayo Nara suddenly curled her lips, "...From the moment we first met, although you greeted me with a smile, you've always maintained your vigilance, and it's the same now. Even though you're using the tea set, tea leaves, and water you provided, you still don't dare to drink it easily."

As she spoke, Tamayo Nara lowered her voice, "Coward..."

Senju Wakama wasn't annoyed. He put down the teacup, "Indeed, I am afraid of death and have grown accustomed to being cautious. After all... Miss Tamayo and I only have a cooperative relationship, not yet to the extent of life-and-death friends."

"Hehe~"

Tamayo Nara's pretty face gradually took on the brilliant color of a sunset, a complexion that made Senju Wakama feel uneasy.

Precisely because of this, Senju Wakama couldn't help but look at the tea in the teacup.

The tea reflected his current face.

His handsome face also showed a strange color.

His complexion wasn't right either!

Senju Wakama realized something.

Tamayo Nara in front of him suddenly stood up. She said faintly, "You think you won't fall for it if you don't drink it?"

Senju Wakama only felt hotter and hotter. This feeling was all too familiar to him. He still maintained his composure, raised his hand to cover his forehead, and said in a low voice, "...This is truly surprising. Miss Tamayo used this kind of thing on me; you've fallen into it yourself too, haven't you."

Tamayo Nara walked up to Senju Wakama. She slowly bent down and gently blew in Senju Wakama's ear, "You... probably don't dislike me, right?"

Senju Wakama was utterly speechless.

Tamayo Nara actually used the tea set to drug him with an aphrodisiac, and... that kind of aphrodisiac!

When did it start?

Why hadn't he noticed?

From the first time he met Tamayo Nara, the impression she gave Senju Wakama was that she was very distant from everyone. Yet such a person, actually…

However…

This was a client, and also a cooperation partner.

Senju Wakama was very rational. He lowered his head, forcefully enduring the discomfort, and said, "Sorry, Miss Tamayo, I don't want to hurt you."

This damn drug was far inferior to the "ammunition" his sister Tsukuyo prepared for him.

He could still endure it. Senju Wakama wasn't someone just anyone could touch. He wasn't prudish, but he wasn't that cheap either. The initiative should be in his own hands, but he couldn't say things too harshly.

However, Tamayo Nara was extremely intelligent.

"You're disdaining me!" Tamayo Nara's voice suddenly turned cold.

"No..." Senju Wakama denied.

"You are!" Tamayo Nara pressed her entire body against Senju Wakama.

At such a close distance, Senju Wakama could even smell the special orchid scent on her.

Senju Wakama suddenly raised his head, activated his Art of Skillful Hands, reached out, and swept the girl before him into a princess carry, heading upstairs.
