13 The Task

Yasui entered a room within the establishment with Katsumi. He went inside first and took a look at the exquisite furniture.

Katsumi came in after him and closed the door. She trembled slightly and her hands shook. She chanted: This is what I want. I finally got what I yearn for–a night with someone I admire.

"Hmm. Katsum–" Yasui wanted to get to the point and ask questions. But the girl suddenly did something so daring!!

She lunged at him out of nowhere and attacked him! She attacked his lips with her own sweet luscious lips! What's more, the daring girl even struck out her tongue and started a battlefield in his mouth!

Yasui felt his mind spiraling out of control! This was too sudden! He wasn't prepared! He's not even in a physically developed body yet! MOREOVER! He was a freaking virgin in his past life! He had never done it before!

He hadn't even lost his first kiss! The closest he's ever gotten to a first kiss is the kiss that he got on his cheek from his ex-girlfriend! This crazy goddess had stolen his first kiss! Insane! This is simply insane!!

Yasui immediately pushed the young woman off of him and gasped for breath.

"Why, Son Goku… Why…? Is it because I am a used product? Is it because I am tainted?" Katsumi fell on the floor and bawled.

Even a person she admired rejected her. Her life really is useless. She didn't want to live anymore. After she gets freedom, what is she even to do then? She didn't have any goals.

The man she admired said that she should look towards the future for happiness and bliss. But, all she could see is clouds and fog. She's afraid. She's afraid of this moment, and she is afraid of the future. She's afraid of what's to come.

Yikes… Yasui scratched his head. He didn't mean to push the girl so hard that she would cry on the floor. "Please get up, I didn't mean it."

"Then why? Please tell me if my life is a joke or not! Please give me an answer! If you can't, please kill me! I don't want to live like this any longer! I was abandoned in the past! I am looked at like a whore! I don't know what to do in the future! Please! Please! Please answer me!!" Katsumi screamed her heart out. Her beautiful face, drenched in a mist of sadness.

"Ahh… your life isn't a joke." Yasui did a squat and rubbed her hair, treating her like a little kid.

With her tear-filled face, Katsumi looked up at the scholarly man, searching for an answer. Waiting… for an answer.

Yasui decided to pull the plug and made a hand sign to demilitarize the transformation jutsu. With a puff of smoke, Yasui's large adult figure turned into that of a child. His white hair turned black, and his clothing turned to that of an Uchiha clan's clothes. The logo could be seen on the front and back.

"The reason that I pushed you away is due to the fact that you stole my first kiss. Plus, I'm a kid, and I'm a little shy about these things! Of course, I also thought that you were very pretty, big sister! I just wanted to save you from all those men! Hehe!" Yasui chuckled as he explained his position.

"Ehhh?" Katsumi felt the world turn upside down. Did she just molest a kid? No! He tricked her! Wait what!? Huh!?!?!? She felt very confused at the moment. Why would a kid be here in an adult establishment!? How is he so good at playing music!?

"My real name is Yasui Uchiha. I am here to find the civilian mercenaries. I thought that you will know about such things, so I was going to ask you some questions in private. Won't you answer my questions? If you do, I will let you see the answers to all of your questions." Yasui patted the girl's head like a pet.

He could help the young woman. If she is so desperate to get out of this place, he could help her. He had the financial capability to do so.

Yasui saw that Katsumi silently agreed, so he went on to ask his questions: "So can you tell me how I can contact the civilian mercenaries? Also, do you know what they are capable of?"

Katsumi forcefully collected herself. She felt weak-willed, and she didn't know how she should treat the kid. On one hand, she had some feelings for the boy. On the other hand, his whole existence before was a lie.

"You can contact the headmistress of every adult establishment. They are the messengers that can give tasks to the civilian mercenaries. You will write your task into a scroll and prepare a downpayment in addition to identifying a total payment. She will then notify mercenary groups to see if they will want to accomplish your task. The civilian mercenaries are capable of information gathering, hunting other civilians, and hunting wild animals." Katsumi explained everything in one breath and felt light-headed.

"I see. Can you take me to your headmaster?" Yasui said as he turned back into Son Goku. Yeah, that's his name now.

"Yes, I can…" Katsumi nodded, unsure of what the boy is planning. However, there was a little spark of hope in her mind. What did he mean by saying that he will show her the answers to her questions?

Katsumi led Yasui's adult persona into the head mistress's office.

When they entered the room, a fat headmistress could be seen on her desk with a pile of Ryo. She was counting them…

"What are you doing here, Katsumi? And who is that lad beside you?" The middle-aged headmistress stopped counting. Usually, the people who are brought here by her girls are looking to put in mercenary tasks.

"My name is Son Goku. I am here to put in a mercenary task." Yasui came to meet the headmistress and brought out a scroll. He had written down the objective as well as the payment. He also brought out some money from his bag which he plastered a small storage scroll on.

The middle-aged headmistress opened the scroll and read it over.

The objective of the mission is to gather information about a boy named Sora in the Fire Temple. The information should include his general situation, whereabouts, and habits. The payment will be increased if the mercenaries can find exact moments when Sora is alone. All of this is to be done in secrecy, and the contractees should not be caught. Else, the mission is a failure.

The payment…1 million Ryo. Increased to 1.5 million Ryo if additional information is found.

The time limit is… 4 years.
