However, things seem different now than before.

Welcome!

As soon as I entered the flower shop, a smiling young girl came out.

But the expression on his face immediately changed to surprise.

"Eh? Lord Shichiya?"

As she said this, she glanced at the people behind Qiye.

Hinata?!

Nanaya and Hinata Hyuga...

"Oh!"

He immediately looked like he had just realized something.

The engagement was common knowledge, and Hinata Hyuga's classmate was no exception.

Yes, this girl is Yamanaka Ino.

Those inside seemed to have heard the commotion, and before Qi Ye could say anything, someone ran out.

It is the first one in the mountains.

"Lord Qiye, it's been a long time."

He said that.

Then, without giving him a chance to speak, she ran directly to Qiye and asked him.

"What brings you here, Lord Qiye? Are you buying flowers? What kind of flowers do you want? How many? I'll get them for you right away."

It's quite remarkable that someone who isn't good with words spoke so much for the first time.

Even Yamanaka Ino looked at him with some surprise.

Her father...

What's going on?

Judging from this, it seems they don't intend for Nana to stay in the shop for too long...

Huh? Is it to prevent Nana from making a move on her?

This is too much...

That's it, isn't it?

Is it because I have too much imagination?

Qi Ye hasn't even said anything yet, and you're already being so wary of him.

This made Yamanaka Ino roll her eyes; it was the first time she had ever seen her father behave like this.

Qi Ye may have figured it out, or she may not have.

He simply pulled out a piece of paper with a lot of information written on it.

"I want all of these flowers. Please deliver them to the shrine for me later."

"Okay, okay, I'll deliver it right away... Huh? So much?"

Yamanaka Inoichi was somewhat surprised.

There are many different kinds of flowers, but the amount needed seems a bit too much.

Yamanaka Ino glanced at it.

But they didn't seem to think anything of it.

"Is it a lot? We can just send it over by tricycle later."

Bicycles are very common in the Land of Fire.

After all, it was created by Qiye to make money back then, and it can still bring in considerable income now.

Tenten's father is an agent, and he also became the richest person in the Land of Fire because of Seven Nights.

However, it is invisible and not exposed.

After all, this is a dangerous world. If rich people don't know how to restrain themselves, they might get killed at any time.

For example, if you were to be targeted by some nobleman or even a famous lord, you would be in big trouble.

Yamanaka Inoichi still had some doubts.

"Lord Qiye, what do you need so many flowers for?"

"It's nothing, just making some medicine. Hinata's hands are so calloused that they ruin the overall aesthetic."

As he said this, he squeezed Hinata Hyuga's hand, which he was holding.

This made Hinata Hyuga blush again.

However, she hadn't expected Qi Ye to make medicine for her.

But thinking about it carefully, it feels a little sweet.

When the topic of calluses came up, Yamanaka Ino's eyes lit up.

"Calluses? For removing calluses? Does such a medicine really exist? Could you give me some?"

"Ino, go and prepare the flowers that Lord Nanaya requested. I'll be there in a moment..."

"I'll deliver it myself later, Dad, you don't need to worry about it. I'll stay at the shrine until tonight and then come back. Lord Nanaya, when it's finished, you have to share some with me!"

Yamanaka Ino didn't give Yamanaka Inoichi much of a chance to speak, snatching the note and going to prepare.

Yamanaka Ino opened and closed his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

So his daughter was lured away by these so-called drugs?

Although I wasn't tricked into giving away lollipops or goldfish.

But he ultimately couldn't bring himself to say it.

Mainly, Yamanaka Ino was too excited; perhaps she also wanted to remove the calluses from her hands.

Ninjas, well, they train every day from a young age.

Although the Yamanaka family's secret techniques are not physical skills, physical training is still essential, as is training in various hidden weapons.

A ninja without scars or calluses cannot be called a ninja.

Qiye didn't care about any of that.

"Hurry up!"

After saying that, he took Hinata Hyuga's hand and left.

I'm also considering whether I should make more of other types of medications.

For example, is it used for pranks?

Yes, just like the kind we gave Tenten and Hinata back then.

Perhaps Tsunade and Shizune could eat it.

However, once the effects of the drug wear off, I'll probably be hunted down.

So I'll just forget about it.

……

Yamanaka Ino quickly prepared the flowers that Nanaya had requested, filling a whole truck and stacking them higher than a person.

He jumped onto the tricycle with great enthusiasm, ready to ride away.

She used to refuse such things, feeling that riding a tricycle to haul goods was not in line with her image as a beautiful young woman.

But at this moment, there's no time to worry about that.

But Yamanaka Inoichi stopped her.

"Ino, come back after you deliver the flowers, okay?"

"Come back tonight."

"After delivering the flowers..."

"Come back tonight, don't worry. Even if Lord Nanaya really is a lolicon, I'm not a loli, I'm a beautiful girl. Besides, Lord Nanaya is already engaged to Hinata. Furthermore, someone as powerful as Lord Nanaya would never think of becoming your son-in-law. Don't overthink it."

The rebellious girl waved her hand impatiently, rejecting her father's lecture.

Then he rode away on his bike.

Her words left Yamanaka Inoichi speechless.

Perhaps he's overthinking it?

No, no, no, it's better to be more wary of that doujinshi artist.

I absolutely cannot let my daughter be kidnapped.

……

Around 11 a.m.

While Shichiya was making medicine, Hinata Hyuga and Ino Yamanaka, who had brought over flowers, watched from the side.

The fishing lights returned at this time.

They brought back a large number of materials with them.

These are all things that Qiye needs.

He had someone move the materials to the warehouse, while Yu Huo came to Qi Ye's place to report on the situation.

"Lord Qiye, all the items have been purchased."

"Ah, very good."

"Temari's whereabouts in Sunagakure have been investigated. She just left Konoha two hours ago."

"Two hours is not a hurry, so we shouldn't have gone far."
