On the other side.
In the room in the backyard.
Bai stood in front of the mirror, completely frozen.
He had just changed into the clothes from the gift box.
I initially thought it was just a regular employee uniform.
But once he was actually dressed, he realized something was completely wrong.
The white shirt fits snugly against the shoulders, the dark coat is clean and crisp, and the hem is a light pleated skirt. She wears long stockings and matching little leather shoes at her feet.
The reflection in the mirror showed me a strikingly beautiful face.
If Bai didn't know who he was, he might even think that the person standing in the mirror was some strange girl.
The white roots of the ear fungus turned completely red.
He subconsciously tugged at the hem of his skirt.
It's too short.
Although it wasn't impolite, the clothes were completely unfamiliar to Bai.
He grew up with Zabuza and always wore ninja clothes that allowed for easy movement.
Even the disguise is only for the sake of the mission.
But now this outfit seems designed to make him stand in front of others and be stared at.
Bai felt a sudden panic.
"This is... a staff uniform?"
He spoke softly, so softly that even he could barely hear himself.
There were no other clothes in the gift box.
There were no suitable old clothes for him in the closet.
To make matters worse, his Kirigakure Ninja outfit, which he had changed out of, was gone.
I searched for chairs, I looked around the bed, and I even opened the cabinet doors to check.
No.
Not a single one.
His face turned even redder, and his heart beat much faster.
"Could it be that Boss Zhang Yu took the wrong one?"
But Boss Zhang Yu just said that this was a uniform specially prepared for him.
It was prepared on purpose.
These four words left Bai even more bewildered.
He looked at himself in the mirror, his fingers clenching the hem of his shirt.
What would Zabuza- san think if he saw himself like this?
Don't you think he's strange?
Do you feel he's no longer suitable to be by your side?
Bai became increasingly confused as she thought about it.
But this outfit fits me perfectly.
The waistline, shoulder width, sleeve length, and even shoe size are all perfect.
It was precisely because it fit him so perfectly that he was even more at a loss for what to do.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock.
"White."
It was Zhang Yu's voice.
Bai tensed up and quickly turned around.
" Boss Zhang Yu?"
Outside the door, Zhang Yu spoke naturally.
Breakfast is ready.
"Come out for dinner once you've changed."
Bai stood there, her cheeks burning hot.
He hesitated for a few seconds, then finally mustered his courage.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"Um... did you take the wrong clothes?"
There was a moment of silence outside the door.
Then Zhang Yu's voice came through, sounding like he was prepared.
"You didn't take the wrong one."
Bai was stunned.
"But this looks like clothes for girls."
Zhang Yu remained unfazed.
"I know."
Bai was completely dumbfounded.
He opened his mouth, unsure how to respond.
Zhang Yu continued, "The tavern doesn't have any men's clothing that fits your size right now."
"You can't wear the clothes of Hashirama, Tobirama, Madara, Izuna, Zabuza."
"You can see it yourself; your build is so different from theirs."
Bai looked down at himself.
That's undeniable.
Hashirama and Madara go without saying.
Zabuza was much taller and bigger than him.
Tobirama was tall and upright, while Izuna, though slender, was different from him.
Zhang Yu added, " The Undead Tavern is currently staffed entirely by men."
There is a severe shortage of styles for employee uniforms.
"This is the most suitable temporary uniform for your body shape and the tavern's image at the moment."
Bai whispered, "But..."
Zhang Yu immediately suppressed his hesitation.
"Bai, you are now a full-time employee of the Undead Tavern."
"The most important thing for an employee on their first day is to follow work assignments."
"The clothes are just for work; they don't represent anything else."
You don't need to feel guilty.
Bai's heart tightened when he heard the words "full-time employee".
He just arrived here.
Boss Zhang Yu rescued him and Mr. Zabuza.
They were given rooms to rest in, and new bodies as well.
Wouldn't it be incredibly ungrateful to refuse even the first job offer?
But this is, after all, women's clothing.
The white fingers clenched even tighter.
"Then... where are my original clothes?"
Zhang Yu spoke calmly.
"It's lost."
Bai suddenly looked up.
Lost?
Zhang Yu continued, "That Kirigakure Ninja outfit isn't suitable for a tavern."
"Having a past identity on it could easily lead to misunderstandings among customers."
"I've taken care of it completely."
My brain buzzed for a moment.
In other words, he had no way out.
If he doesn't wear this outfit, he has no other clothes to wear outside.
Bai stood in front of the mirror, her face flushed red.
Zhang Yu's voice softened a bit.
"Rest assured."
This is just a temporary arrangement.
"Once the tavern's clothing selection is more complete, we'll change you to other styles."
That's all for today.
Bai remained silent for a long time.
He looked down at his clothes and finally took a soft breath.
"I see."
" Boss Zhang Yu, I will follow your instructions."
Outside the door, Zhang Yu's lips curled into a smile.
"Very good."
"Take it easy."
Everyone's waiting for you to have breakfast.
Bai responded softly.
"Yes."
He stood in front of the mirror for a few more seconds.
Then, he raised his hand to straighten his collar and smoothed out the hem of his coat.
Even though he was terribly flustered inside, he tried his best to appear calm and composed.
Since this is work.
Then he must do it well.
For Zabuza- san.
And also to live up to the second chance that Boss Zhang Yu gave them.
Bai slowly pushed open the door.
The light from the corridor fell on him.
He lowered his head and walked slowly towards the front hall.
Breakfast was already laid out in the lobby.
Hashirama was holding a bowl, just about to pick up some food.
Ban leaned back in his chair, his expression indifferent.
Tobirama was flipping through the account books.
Izuna placed the last plate of desserts on the table.
Zabuza seated, his expression still not pleasant.
The next second, Bai walked out from the backyard.
Everyone stopped moving at the same time.
Hashirama's chopsticks fell to the table with a clatter.
"This..."
His eyes widened, and he looked as if someone had grabbed his throat.
"Is this white?"
Izuna was also stunned.
He had seen Bai's face before and knew that Bai was handsome.
But after changing into this outfit, her delicate features were amplified completely.
A clean shirt, a well-fitting jacket, a light skirt, paired with a fair face that was so soft it was almost flawless.
She looks like a gentle girl from a prominent family.
Ban frowned slightly.
He stared at Bai for several seconds before coldly asking, "Are you sure he's a man?"
Zabuza did not answer.
He stared at Bai, frozen in his chair.
Before, when Bai wore ninja clothes and a mask, she followed him around, still retaining some of the composure of a ninja.
But now...
Zabuza's preconceived notions about "white is a boy" were completely shattered in an instant.
For the first time, he even had strong doubts about his past judgments.
Is Bai really a man?
Is he really sure?
No.
He was never sure.
Tobirama was much calmer than the others.
But he also examined it carefully for a long time.
From her physique and demeanor to the cautious, restrained way she walks.
