Chapter 7
Ayako Hyuga
After packing two sets of clothes and some daily necessities, Kirito carried a small backpack and walked out of the house. Kirito was still as calm as ever in the face of the mockery and cold disdain of his clansmen. It was not that he was pretending to be cool, but that was his nature.
Just like that, Kirito quietly walked out of the Hinata family's door. There was no reluctance or resentment. To Kirito, facing these four cold high walls, as well as the inexplicable targeting and strange gazes of others, it was really boring.
"Kirito..." However, just as Kirito left Hinata and was crossing a few streets, a cautious voice came from behind him.
Kirito subconsciously turned around and saw that it was a woman dressed in a white maid's uniform. Her large silver-white eyes flashed with intelligence and purity, and she had delicate features. It was Ayako Hinata, one of Kirito's few close friends and distant relative in the Hinata family. Ayako Hinata had a similar status as him. They were both from the Hinata branch family, and they also belonged to the important branch that had guarded the children of the main family for generations. However, in this generation, Kirito was responsible for protecting the eldest daughter of the main clan, Hinata Hinata, while Ayako was responsible for protecting the Hinata Flower Fire.
Kirito and Ayako, who had similar statuses and were close to each other due to their close relationship as sisters, were guards of two different factions when they were young. They also got to know each other and got along well with each other. Ayako was seventeen years old. Although she was five years older than Kirito, because the second daughter of the main clan, Hanaho, was young, and since she was young, Hanaho had received stricter paternal management training. Hanaho was often taught by seniors at home and rarely had the chance to step out of the house. As a guard, Ayako rarely stepped out of the house. That was why she lived in seclusion and rarely came into contact with the outside world. This also nurtured Ayako's extremely simple personality. To be honest, Kirito had been stripped of his identity as a main family guard and had his monthly salary deducted. He had to go out to work frequently to earn living expenses. In terms of mentality, the twelve-year-old Kirito was more mature than the seventeen-year-old Ayako.
"Lingzi, are you going to send me off?”Ayako's personality was simple, and there were very few people in the Hinata family who were willing to associate with the Kiriren. Therefore, Kirito was even more enthusiastic and serious towards Ayako than he was towards Elder Hyuga.
Her slender eyebrows were tightly knitted. With Kirito's departure, Ayako's mood was downcast. Her voice was slightly choked, and her lips opened as if she wanted to say something. However, the words were stuck in her throat, and she did not know how to say it. Only tears were rolling in her eyes.
Kirito felt disappointed. He could not help but take two steps forward and gently hug Ayako with both hands. Due to the slight difference in age, Kirito had to stand on tiptoe in order to be on par with Ayako in terms of height. She caressed her soft and fragrant hair with one hand, and Ayako subconsciously rested her chin on Kirito's shoulder. Her tears could no longer stop falling, wetting his shoulder.
"Don't cry, Ling. I'm not going far away. I'm still in the village. "
Lord Hatata and Lord Hanako actually wanted to send you off, but today, the clan leader personally taught the children of the main clan to cultivate, so they couldn't come.”Ayako lay on Kirito's shoulder and cried for a while. Then, she realized that Xiao Xu had lost his composure. She blushed and moved back a little. She could not help but mutter in her heart, I'm clearly the elder sister, why do I look like a spoiled younger sister?
"It's okay, as long as you have the heart.”To Kirito, Hinata was the best childhood friend he had ever had. Their relationship had always been very good. Although they had rarely interacted in recent years, they could still recognize each other clearly from the way they met, from the exchange of looks, to the subtle movements. Hanaka liked to stick to him when he was a child. However, after he was stripped of his identity as the guardian of the main family and Hanaka began to receive strict training from the Hinata family, the two of them rarely interacted. However, at least he had some happy memories.
"Alright, Lingzi, send them here. As Hua Huo's personal guard, you can't leave for too long.”All good things must come to an end, and it was not Kirito's character to drag things out.
As a personal bodyguard, Lingzi was very responsible for the matter of the flower fire. No matter what small matter it was, she would always be meticulous. Therefore, despite his reluctance, he still nodded and turned to leave.
"Hu ~" After parting with Ayako, Kirito continued on his journey. He was in a good mood. He was able to chat with a good friend before leaving.
Kirito had already expected that this day would come when he was kicked out of the Hinata family, especially after he failed to graduate from the Ninja School. The humiliation of the Hinata family would not allow him to stay in the family no matter what. Therefore, Kirito had already made preparations in advance.
They arrived in front of a shop called "Everyday Weapon Shop". The shop was not big, but the one in front of them was only a branch. It was the oldest and largest weapon shop of Muye. The Shuriken, Kuna, Steel Explosive Talisman, and other ninja equipment were sold in the shop. More than 80% of the supply of ninja equipment in the village was provided by the daily weapon shop. Due to the high quality of the products and reasonable prices, there were often large orders from outside the village. From this, it could be seen how powerful the weapon shop was.
Most of Kirito's daily living expenses came from being an apprentice in this weapon shop.
He walked into the shop and greeted the shop owner, craftsman, and the others. From their familiarity, he knew that Kirito had been here for some time.
He had already discussed with the owner of this place beforehand that he would move here soon. Since Kirito was familiar with the owner of the weapon shop, and there were indeed many empty rooms here, the owner had no reason to refuse Kirito. Thus, Kirito was arranged to stay.
