Chapter 126 Kurosawa's IOU

......

"So this group of treasure hunters was almost wiped out because they stole Kurosawa's IOU?"

"Suddenly I feel a little miserable for them."

"I'm dying of laughter. They robbed you and you still feel sorry for them? Are you Cheng Xin?"

......

Not to mention the leader of the treasure-stealing group who found out that he almost died because he stole a box of IOUs, even Ying found it incredible to see that such an exquisite box contained IOUs.

"Judging from the signature above, it seems to be addressed to Miss Aoi from the grocery store. Hmm, it looks like Kurosawa owes quite a bit of money."

Hines took the IOU back from the treasure-stealing group and put it back in the box.

Ying also put the IOU back to its place and closed the box.

"Let's go to the grocery store and ask."

"You decide."

Everyone agreed, and Ying decisively sped up and ran towards the grocery store.

Hines had no choice but to follow Ying's pace. After all, the map was in Ying's hands, and he didn't know the way.

Seeing that the two of them finally left, the treasure-stealing group leader collapsed on the ground.

"Damn Kurosawa! He's protecting the IOU so closely!"

"Hey, if only I didn't go to his house today..."

"But they only took the pile of IOUs. Does that count as buying my life with them?"

“So, I actually made money?”

Treasure Hunting Team: My head itches, I feel like I need to grow a brain.

Ying and Hines never slowed down after leaving the treasure-stealing group's camp, so they arrived at their destination very quickly, even though it was already lunch time.

"It seems this is Miss Aoi's grocery store - Ninety-nine Things."

Ying said affirmatively while looking at the huge name sign above the grocery store.

Hines just nodded and didn't want to say more because he was a little hungry now.

The shop owner, Miss Aoi, naturally noticed the two of them.

"Ninety-nine things, everything is available. What would you like to buy?"

Miss Aoi greeted the two of them politely, then looked at their clothes and added,

"Or do you want to know something?"

Ying took out the box from her backpack, placed it on the counter in the store, and took out the IOU from it.

“Excuse me, these IOUs…”

Miss Kui didn't even look at the signature on the IOU carefully. She knew the owner of the IOU just by looking at the huge amount.

"So you two are Mr. Kurosawa's friends. Are you here to pay off his debt?"

Pay off the debt? Ying shook her head. Paying off the debt was impossible, not in this lifetime. She couldn't even remember how much she owed Hines. If all else failed, she'd just give Paimeng back to him...

Seeing the God of Fire wandering in the sky, Hines sighed.

"Don't worry about paying back the money first. First, why did Kurosawa owe so much money?"

Miss Aoi put her right index finger on her chin, obviously thinking seriously.

"Let me think about it..."

"Mr. Kurosawa regularly buys large quantities of food from us, but he uses his own salary."

"But food prices have risen recently, and his salary is not enough, so he has to write an IOU to buy the same amount of food."

......

"Sure enough! I guessed that Kurosawa bought the relief food himself!"

"In hindsight, I said I guessed it too."

"Hei Ze is indeed a good person. He actually uses his own money to buy food to help others."

"There are too many troublemakers in Inazuma! Teshima is like this, Kurosawa is like this too, why don't the villagers show their health bars!"

"Are the villagers you're talking about the kind that like emeralds?"

......

Ying came back to her senses when Miss Aoi started to speak. After listening to the story Miss Aoi was about to tell, she couldn't help but ask,

"Why does Kurosawa have to buy the same amount of food? Can't we buy less if the price of food goes up?"

Before Miss Aoi could speak, Hines expressed his opinion first.

"Because Kurosawa said that this food is relief food. If one day the food distributed is suddenly less..."

"Take those two people we saw for example. Do you think they would think that Kurosawa had embezzled some of the food?"

Miss Aoi smiled after hearing what Hines said.

"What this guest said makes sense, but Kurosawa's ideas are different from yours..."

"He wasn't worried about villagers misunderstanding him. He was worried...that people who received less food would be disappointed."

"In order to take their feelings into consideration, Mr. Kurosawa would rather buy on credit in exchange for an equal amount of food."

This was the second time Ying was silent today. She couldn't accept that someone who was willing to spend her own money or even buy food on credit to share with others would end up like this.

The people who were helped were unaware of his contribution, and even he himself forgot what he had done after losing the Eye of God.

Besides Ayaka, who else would Thomas care about that would concern him with someone like him?

The Eye Hunting Order...should not exist!

Ying's eyes were filled with sadness. This was Linghua's second commission, and there was a third one coming...

After Miss Aoi finished speaking, she did not calm down. Instead, she looked at Xines.

"Sir, I want to explain for the villagers that Kurosawa helped. After all, they and I are all members of the Inazuma clan, and we don't want to leave a bad impression in front of foreign tourists."

"In general, people's attitudes often depend on their circumstances. When it comes to survival, most people don't think too much about it."

Unfortunately, Hinesh didn't give him face.

"But they still hurt Kurosawa, didn't they?"

Miss Aoi's polite smile was slightly bitter.

"In my opinion, if Kurosawa had disclosed the source of the food from the beginning, he would have faced less trouble now..."

"Of course, it's just a little less..."

Miss Aoi's silent sigh represented her sympathy and admiration for Kurosawa. After all, if she were in his position, she would not make such a decision.

Ying Mosuo twitched his chin,

"Then do you know why Kurosawa spent money to buy food but was unwilling to leave his name for others to express their gratitude?"

Miss Aoi shook her head.

"I'm just a food vendor. Why would I ask my customers such private questions? Why don't you ask Kurosawa?"

After a brief silence, Hines spoke.

"Kurosawa, he doesn't remember..."

Miss Aoi was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Xines' wrist.

"Yes, speaking of which, his Eye of God was just confiscated..."

"This is troublesome... If Mr. Kurosawa can't pay off his debts, he'll probably have no choice but to sell his prized knife."

Ying had no idea what the knife Miss Kui was talking about, so she could only ask.

"A prized knife?"

Miss Aoi looked at the two of them with some suspicion.

"Mr. Kurosawa, didn't I tell you? He has a very precious knife that he carries with him all year round..."

"Mr. Kurosawa said it was a gift from his father and he wouldn't sell it even at a high price."

Looking at Miss Aoi who was a little emotional, Xines took out all the IOUs in the box and threw out a bag of Mora.

"Kurosawa's IOU is written off."
