Then the incredibly shrewish Ziyuan walked over, looking embarrassed.
"Um, could you lend me some more money? I need to pay off the room fee the other party owes me first, so I can find out what message they left me. Don't worry, once I find them, I'll definitely pay you back with interest. I can even give you an IOU!"
Tamamo Hotaru was stunned. "You've already ripped me off once, and you still want to do it a second time? The person you're looking for can't even afford a hotel and is going to skip out on the bill, and you still dare to ask me for money to cover this hole? Do you think I'm stupid?!"
Ziyuan was speechless for a moment, but she still insisted, saying, "At least we can try. Isn't there any other way? Trust me, I can definitely get the money. It will only be a few days late. I can pay the interest."
With nowhere to run, Tamamo Hotaru could only weakly ask, "Can I still trust you now?"
“This bell is the only thing my mother left me. I’m putting it with you now, and if I can’t keep my promise, you can destroy it.”
Ziyuan gritted her teeth and took out her last and only bargaining chip.
Tamamo Hotaru looked at the other person carefully for a few moments, but ultimately did not accept the gift.
"Okay, I'll trust you one last time. It's just a few days' room fee, I'll pay it!"
"Wait a minute, where did you get the money?"
Shinji suddenly discovered a blind spot.
Tamamo Hotaru's expression froze. Without saying a word, she quickly took out all the money she had and placed it on the counter, thus creating a fait accompli.
[467. Chapter 455 It's not too late to run now]
"It's all money I've painstakingly saved up, so what!"
Tamamo Hotaru stuck her head out, looking just like a bulldog.
Where did this money come from?
It's not a lie to say it was saved up.
For example, when eating at a restaurant, Tamamo Hotaru is the one who runs errands and does the bill.
Sometimes, when giving change, she would secretly keep it for herself.
Or you could openly and honestly overcharge by a few dozen taels, and no one would care.
That's how she secretly saved up a considerable amount of money.
It was originally intended as a precaution, to be kept as travel expenses.
As a result, he really lost his mind and believed Ziyuan's big swindler. In the end, he not only emptied his family's savings but also exposed his secret stash of money.
Shinji chuckled lightly, not doing anything to her, but casually said to Sasuke beside him, "From now on, you'll be in charge of settling the bill."
Sasuke nodded, though he found it a bit troublesome, he didn't object.
Tamamo Hotaru almost cried tears into her heart.
She finally managed to squeeze out a little profit; do you know how hard that was for her?
Now things are really messed up; not only have we gone back to square one, but we've also lost all the opportunities to make a living.
What's the point of living?
"Jiaoyue, let's go! Let's find a rope and hang ourselves here."
Jiaoyue cried out, then broke free from Tamamo Hotaru's embrace and jumped onto Shinji's shoulder.
On the other side, the three-tailed fox was lying there 'hibernating'.
Jiaoyue's meaning was very clear: go die if you want, I won't serve you, and I've already found someone else to take care of me, so I won't go hungry.
Tamamo Hotaru was furious, filled with impotent rage.
At this moment, the smile on the receptionist's face, after receiving the money, was no longer fake.
Not only did she tell Ziyuan all the messages, but she also told her which way the guests who left her messages went, and most likely where they stayed.
Upon hearing this, Ziyuan immediately understood the situation.
Although I don't know why, it's very likely that the other party is poor.
But she wasn't worried.
She planned to ask Konoha to lend her some money first, and then take back the IOU and destroy it.
As for the money she owes Konoha, that's easy to resolve. Once she returns to the Land of Demons, it'll be a piece of cake.
She was still very grateful to Tamamo Hotaru.
So she'd never be the one to be tricked, no matter who else she is.
After leaving the hotel, the group headed towards the outskirts of the city center.
At this moment, Shinji suddenly spoke up: "If you don't get your payment within three days, it's just a matter of money. But if it exceeds three days, you'll bear the consequences. I can guarantee you won't want to see me like that, because no one can protect you."
Ziyuan paused for a moment, but quickly recovered without saying a word.
In any country, there will certainly be a gap between the rich and the poor.
The wealthy live in the very center of the city, in the finest houses, and enjoy flattery and luxury.
The poor, on the other hand, live in dilapidated houses, just getting by each day, doing everything only to survive.
The previous daimyo did his best to make life better for the people here.
However, it is fundamentally impossible to completely eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor.
So Shinji and his group eventually found a shady hotel at the intersection of the rich and poor areas.
According to the receptionist, she had overheard them talking about this place.
Another thing is that after a careful search, Shion found a special code that guided her all the way here.
By comparing and combining the two, there shouldn't be any mistakes.
"It seems this is the place. Let's go."
Shion took the lead and walked at the very front.
If it weren't for Hidan and those other fierce-looking guys following her, she would have been captured on her very first day here.
Hello, is anyone home?
"Hello......"
"Scream, scream, scream! What are you yelling about? There are only two rooms left. Are you in or not? If not, get out!"
Then, an older woman, still holding a kitchen knife and with bloodstains on her apron, came out cursing.
It looks like he was either cooking or chopping people up just now.
"Did you leave a message for the 'shrine maiden'?"
"This is troublesome, just wait."
The shrew carrying the knife pulled a ledger from under the counter and began flipping through it quickly.
"Miko, shrine maiden... Ah, I've got it, she's here."
"What is it?"
"Want to know? Pay up!"
"Why do you want money again?"
Ziyuan is almost driven crazy. Everywhere she goes, everyone is demanding money!
She finally experienced what it means to be unable to move an inch without money.
"Hmph, you want me to pass on messages without paying you? Do you think I'm stupid? See the sign? Paid messaging, understand?"
"Are you staying here or not? If not, get out now and don't keep me from getting to work."
The shrew's blunt words left Ziyuan extremely embarrassed.
We've come this far, we have no choice but to pay.
Shion looked at Tamamo Hotaru, who almost vomited blood. In the end, she couldn't resist and found two more bills under the insole.
The shrew saw it and immediately complained about the smell, her face filled with disgust.
Even if it stinks, it's still money.
"Upstairs, room 201, the one right inside. Just go there. Remember, don't cause trouble here, or it won't be something that can be settled with just a little money."
Finally, the shrew left a message, pointed to a room, and told them to go there on their own.
Tamamo Hotaru breathed a sigh of relief. If they asked her for money again, she would be penniless.
They were all squeezed dry!
Fortunately, the person has finally been found.
Go up to the second floor, the innermost room, 201...
Don't ask why 201 is the innermost room. That's how it was designed. So what? Is it wrong?
Just as Shion was about to knock on the door, Hidan, who was already impatient, simply shoved her aside and kicked her.
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open.
Who would take a fat woman's threat seriously!
If you're still not satisfied, I'll tear your whole store down, believe it or not!
After kicking the door open and walking in, Shinji was immediately stunned.
Tsunade was fast asleep, leaning against the wall with a bottle of liquor in her arms.
I don't know what happened yesterday, but Shizune and Sakura hugged each other tightly and lay on the bed.
Then the sound of Hidan kicking the door woke Shizune and Sakura up.
The two rubbed their eyes and yawned as they sat up in bed, then froze in shock.
"what!..."
Sakura's scream had already reached her throat when Sasuke immediately covered her mouth.
Jingyin was even more decisive, jumping down directly with a somewhat flustered expression. She then stepped on an empty wine bottle on the ground and fell to the ground with a thud.
Shion and Tamamo Hotaru's hearts sank to the bottom.
