The last time they had carried out the ambush plan in the cave, Yayoi had given Yan the Jade Talisman he had made, the one that made people forget.
Its effect was comparable to Genjutsu, yet went beyond it.
It was practically a must-have for top-tier hunters, and Yan happened to be a traditional Ninja who favored assassinations.
With gear like that, she'd be all the more formidable.
"There aren't any more."
Seeing the longing look on Yan's face, Yayoi couldn't help feeling a little mischievous.
"The one I gave you was the last one."
"Aw, how did it end up like this?"
Yan pouted, her whole demeanor turning dejected.
But in just a few seconds, Yan managed to console herself.
"It's okay. Even without something like that, I can still become a powerful Ninja and protect Miyoshi-kun."
Yan lowered her head and muttered to herself, then raised it again with a gentle smile.
"There really aren't any more, but if you want some, I can provide a special service and make a few just for you."
Yayoi had been a little moved by Yan's words, and he said with a smile.
"Really?"
"Of course."
Rin watched the two of them chatting and smiling. She lowered her eyes in silence, her head bowed, lost in thought.
After Yayoi finished packing up, the group got ready and set out.
Following the address their teacher Shuomo had given them, Yayoi found his home.
It was a very traditional residence.
There was a courtyard outside, with some ornamental rocks, a stream, and decorations.
"Teacher Shuomo, are you home?"
"I am. Come in."
They knocked, and after Shuomo gave them permission, the three of them opened the door and stepped inside. They found him changing the diaper of a white-haired child and preparing formula.
