Chapter 1130

Kuki Shinobu didn't say much, simply rolled up her sleeves and strode forward.

"I…"

Arataki Itto still wanted to struggle, but the moment he saw Kuki Shinobu's piercing gaze, he instantly backed down.

"Fine, wherever you say to go, that's where we'll go."

It's just a shame about his lollipop.

The surrounding citizens were already long used to scenes like this.

Because they'd seen it far too many times.

So someone quipped that Arataki Itto was only good for laughs,

the real Huanglong Sect still had to look at Kuki Shinobu!

To avoid provoking Kuki Shinobu's wrath any further, Arataki Itto was very quiet along the way,

silently tagging along and nothing more.

But after noticing the road conditions around them, he could no longer sit still.

"Wait, this doesn't look like the road back to the Huanglong Sect, right? Shinobu, where exactly are you taking me?"

Looking at this remote place, could it be that she wanted to find someone to fight him and vent her anger?

"Manga shop!"

Kuki Shinobu stopped walking, turned around, and said.

"Manga shop? What's that? Something to do with light novel illustrations?"

Arataki Itto asked curiously.

Judging by the name, the two seemed somewhat similar.

"Um… you'll know once you go take a look."

Kuki Shinobu didn't know how to explain, so she simply waved her hand.

But she quickly straightened her expression.

Because what she was about to say next was the real point.

"There, you can obtain amazing things from manga by reading them—whatever you can imagine, they have it. Take this outfit I'm wearing, for example."

"So your clothes came from that shop!"

Arataki Itto had a sudden realization.

No wonder he'd never seen them before.

But they were quite pretty, and seemed to suit Kuki Shinobu rather well.

He didn't suspect anything, though.

For one, his personality was carefree and he didn't overthink things.

For another, and most importantly, the one telling him was Kuki Shinobu.

She was the most capable person in the Huanglong Sect!

Arataki Itto often teased Shinobu, but when it came to her, he still trusted her completely.

That trust had been built up over a long time!

"Mm, so after learning about that manga shop's wonders, I came straight to you, boss!

··

If we're lucky and get some good rewards from there, it'll definitely be a huge benefit to the Huanglong Sect!"

Kuki Shinobu nodded and laid out her original plan.

"Great idea! Worthy of a Huanglong Sect member, wahahaha…"

Hearing Kuki Shinobu's words, Arataki Itto burst into laughter.

Although he didn't understand the specific workings, just hearing about it told him there was business potential.

Take the outfit Kuki Shinobu was wearing, for example.

If they could copy it and sell it, it would definitely be well received.

But he soon thought of something, and his expression grew a little tense as he said.

..... 0

"Since there are such benefits, reading manga must cost quite a bit, right?"

"100,000 Mora per session. I happen to have some on hand right now, I can cover it."

Kuki Shinobu said softly.

Although 100,000 Mora wasn't a huge sum, the Huanglong Sect definitely couldn't afford it.

So she planned to cover it for now.

Everything else could wait until the Huanglong Sect was better off.

Arataki Itto thought the same way.

If they weren't so poor, they wouldn't have to let a girl like Kuki Shinobu foot the bill.

Once they made money later, they would definitely compensate her properly.

And all of that hope lay in that wondrous manga shop.

"Wahahaha, I, Arataki Itto, will definitely get something good! Shinobu, let's head there now!"

Arataki Itto laughed heartily.

"Got it, boss!"

Seeing her boss like this, Kuki Shinobu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At last he was taking it seriously.

After that, the two of them, one in front and one behind, hurried off toward the comic book store.

Not long after they left, a figure stepped out from the corner nearby.

"Can you really get magical things from inside just by reading comics? How interesting!"
