Tonton buried her head in Shizune's arms.
It understands human speech.
They also knew that resistance was futile.
Seeing its state, Shizune could only gently touch its ears.
" Lady Tsunade."
Those people on the black market aren't ordinary businessmen.
"What if they really do sell Tonton?"
"So you need to find someone you know."
Tsunade said, "You've been there before."
"They know Tonton is mine, so they don't dare to do anything about it."
Shizune still didn't agree.
Tsunade immediately covered her forehead and leaned on her shoulder.
" Shizune."
"I haven't eaten properly all day."
"If we run out of money, we'll have to sleep outside tonight."
"The debt collectors could come at any time."
I'm hungry and tired right now.
"If they encounter danger, they might not even have the strength to fight back."
Shizune stared at her expressionlessly.
"You just said you could defeat the debt collectors."
"That was just now."
Tsunade sighed.
I'm even hungrier now.
Shizune knew she was faking it.
But the two of them really didn't have any money.
Not wanting to sleep on the streets, I had to raise money first.
"Let me make this clear first."
"Once you get the money, you must redeem Tonton immediately."
"No problem."
You are not allowed to go to the casino anymore.
"Can."
"And you're not allowed to use the money raised for drinking."
"Knew."
Tsunade agreed without the slightest hesitation.
I'm even more worried about Shizune.
But she had no other choice.
Tsunade patted her on the shoulder.
"Go to the black market first."
I'll go find a hotel.
"Once we get the money, we'll go straight to the most expensive place in town."
Shizune paused for a moment.
"Are you sure you want to stay in the most expensive room?"
"Certainly."
Tsunade had already turned around.
"When you're broke, you absolutely mustn't let others see that you're broke."
She took a few steps, then turned back.
If you can't bring the money back in time, I'll have to stay in the hotel alone.
"I don't know where I'll be taken after those creditors are found."
" Lady Tsunade!"
Shizune stomped her feet in anger.
Tsunade, however, had already walked away.
Tonton nestled in Shizune's arms, completely giving up any resistance.
Shizune look down at it.
"I'm sorry, Tonton."
"I can only trouble you one more time."
Tsunade walked through the main street and quickly found the most expensive hotel in town.
The hotel has four floors.
The lobby on the first floor is carpeted.
All floors above the second floor are suites.
Hot water is available at all times, and meals can be delivered to the room around the clock.
The prices are also shockingly high.
Tsunade walked to the counter.
"Give me the best room."
The boss looked up and saw her, and immediately smiled.
How many days are the guests planning to stay?
"Stay for a month first."
Tsunade answered naturally.
The boss became even more enthusiastic.
There's also a suite on the second floor.
"It includes a living room, bathroom, and separate kitchen."
"It's cleaned every day."
"If you need food, just let the waiter know."
"That one."
The owner took out the room number and then retrieved the register.
"Half of the room rate for one month needs to be paid upfront."
Tsunade didn't reach into her pocket.
She picked up a pen and wrote her name.
My attendant has gone to get the money.
It will be delivered later.
The boss hesitated for a moment.
Tsunade and moved closer to the counter.
"How?"
Are you worried I can't afford it?
The boss looked at her face and quickly shook his head.
"Of course not."
"Guests can check in first."
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction.
That's more like it.
She picked up the room number and gave one more instruction.
"Later, a woman dressed in a black kimono will come to see me."
She was holding a pink pig in her arms.
"She's arrived. Tell her to go straight upstairs."
"Clear."
The boss personally gave her directions.
Tsunade didn't linger and went straight up to the second floor.
She pushed open the door and first looked around the living room and bathroom.
The room is definitely worth the price.
The bed is spacious.
Hot water is available at any time.
There are also spare clothes in the closet.
Tsunade threw her coat onto the chair and collapsed onto the bed.
"Quickly Shizune the machine."
I'm starving!
As evening fell, Zhang Yu and Bai returned to the hotel.
He was carrying more than a dozen bags in his white hand.
It was filled with the things they had bought after shopping all afternoon.
Hairpins, ornaments, snacks, and trinkets from all over the world are available.
Bai placed the bag on the living room table and began sorting through the items one by one.
This is for Yugao.
"These two are for Kaori and Ino."
Hinata likes sweets, so we can save this for her.
Zhang Yu lay down on the sofa.
Do you still remember preparing gifts for everyone?
Everyone works at the tavern.
Bai put the items into the box.
"We've come all this way, we should bring back some souvenirs."
" Izuna and Zabuza are also included?"
"Have."
Bai picked up the other two bags.
"What Izuna received were kitchen utensils."
" Zabuza- san's tool is a whetstone."
Zhang Yu closed his eyes.
"Take your time to pack."
I'll lie down for a while.
After walking all afternoon, he didn't want to move anymore.
Bai showed no signs of fatigue.
He carefully wrapped each gift and placed them separately on the table.
After finishing, he went into the room's enclosed kitchen.
Dinner hasn't been prepared yet.
The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, and tableware.
Bai opened the food cabinet and began washing the vegetables.
Zhang Yu lay half-reclined on the sofa, watching him busy in the kitchen.
The knife landed on the cutting board.
Before long, the sound of stir-frying vegetables could be heard from the pot.
This feeling is very comfortable.
There's no need to manage the tavern business.
There's no need to assign staff.
After shopping, I can just lie down and wait for my meal.
Zhang Yu closed his eyes and quickly became sleepy.
There was a soft knock on the door.
Bai put down what he was holding and walked into the living room.
He saw that Zhang Yu was already asleep, so he moved even more quietly.
"Who?"
The boss's voice came from outside the door.
"Guest."
The hotel has prepared dinner.
Would you like it delivered to your room?
"No."
Bai answered softly.
We'll prepare it ourselves.
"OK."
"Call me anytime if you need anything."
The footsteps outside the door gradually faded into the distance.
Bai made sure the boss had left before returning to the kitchen.
Zhang Yu watched the entire process with his eyes half-open.
These high-priced suites not only have bathrooms but also separate kitchens.
Even though the hotel provides meals at any time, most guests don't know how to cook for themselves.
Why is a separate kitchen necessary?
Is it so that guests can bring their own chefs when they check in?
Or is it for some other purpose?
Zhang Yu thought for a while, then felt increasingly sleepy.
Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.
Bai continued preparing dinner.
Place the soup pot on the stove.
The chopped meat was also put into the pot.
Twenty minutes later, the aroma of the food filled the living room.
Suddenly, an argument broke out in the corridor on the same floor.
"I'm staying in the most expensive room here."
You don't even deliver dinner?
Tsunade stood outside the room, glaring at the innkeeper.
The boss quickly offered an explanation.
"Guest."
You haven't paid your room fee yet.
According to hotel rules, meals cannot be charged to the bill.
Didn't I already say that?
My entourage will be here soon.
"When she arrives, we'll pay for her room and meals together."
