Chapter 263 Early Pomelo Oversleeps, Shopping Agent Fails
"Company Magistrate... um... what's that again... oh right! It's the organization to which my job is located!"
Hearing her say that, Paimon belatedly realized what was going on.
"You wouldn't... be the shopping specialist the Divine Child mentioned, would you? Your early morning dedication... your tall stature... I really didn't see any of that coming!"
As Paimon spoke, he helplessly rubbed his forehead.
"Hmm... I've been discovered... I'm the magistrate of the guild... the ninja Hayayu from the final chapter, and the tengu from the guild of ...
As Zaoyou spoke, she looked around warily with wide eyes.
"Zaoyou, where is the [Statue of Mikatsu Naruto, the Grand Master of the Imperial Palace] that you bought?"
Seeing that Zaoyou's hands were empty, Ying looked at her with suspicion.
"Didn't get any..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zaoyou lowered her head guiltily.
"Wait a minute...aren't you the professional Ayato arranged? How come you're so unreliable?"
"No! I...I've been waiting here since last night to buy the doll. I just didn't expect that...my eyes would get a little blurry..."
As Zaoyou spoke, she rubbed her uncooperative eyelids.
As soon as she finished rubbing her eyelids, she naturally closed her eyes and then stopped making a sound.
"Seriously... these days, are there really people who sleep this well?"
Seeing Zaoyou fall asleep instantly while standing, Hu Tao's eyes sparkled with envy.
After Ying patted her on the shoulder, Zaoyou finally returned to the chat channel.
"At that time, I really just wanted to take a nap... just for a little while!"
As Zaoyou spoke, she argued her case with aggrieved indignation, shaking her head vigorously.
"Simply put, you overslept, didn't you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xun Feng shrugged.
"Hmm... if I don't manage to buy the doll... that Tengu who's in charge of the Heavenly Territory... will arrest me!"
After saying that, Zaoyou's eyes flashed with endless panic.
"Wait a minute, what kind of professionals did Ayato send? They seem... less reliable than Palmond."
Ying, who was standing to one side, teased him in an annoyed tone.
"Hey! Don't compare me to others at a time like this!"
Paimon, unwilling to accept defeat, stomped his feet repeatedly in frustration.
Meanwhile, Zaoyou, who was standing still, began to think to herself.
After a moment of silence, she placed a finger to her lips with a hint of heartache, and then spoke with a helpless yet hesitant tone.
"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to sacrifice... this month's salary to buy two more from those who already have them..."
After saying that, Zaoyou immediately lowered her head and remained silent.
Seeing her reaction, Paimon repeatedly tried to comfort her.
"Zaoyou, don't worry, we'll help you negotiate the price."
"Really?! That's great... This is my paycheck... I'll definitely, really try to spend it wisely!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she hesitantly handed the pay bag to Ying, who was closest to her.
Since things had come to this point, the group had no choice but to join Zaoyou's mission to buy dolls and assist her.
After observing for a while, Xunfeng decided to split up and ask the people around them.
Once we find out who has managed to buy the [Statue of the Great Master of the Imperial Palace] and is willing to sell it, Hayato's task will be more than half done.
Without further hesitation, Xunfeng and Hutao headed east, while Ying pulled Paimon away towards the west.
