"Relax, I just need a favour." Naruto replied calmly as he set down a small bag.
She actually began sobbing into the wall much to the former assassin's amusement, "Wha-whatever it is, I can't help you! I don't wanna die! Takehito-chan told me that making a deal with the devil is baaaad! WAAAAAA!"
Matsu had met many people in her nineteen years of conscious life and she could confidently say that there were very few things that could truly scare her; like Karasuba or badgers, or an angry Miya.
Then she met him.
The unassuming blonde who was calmly kneeling on the other side of the room as he opened a bag could top every single one of them hands down with a polite smile.
"Are you sure? I mean, I've been to a lot of places before and picked up some items that might of be interest to someone of your nature." Naruto casually said as he placed the stack of paper face down on the tatami.
She stopped bawling and peeked over her shoulder warily, "What items?"
He flipped the first item over, revealing a carefully packaged box.
"Duwah! A first edition and mint visual novel from Type-Sun!" Matsu whimpered weakly, "They stopped making those fifteen years ago!" She began breathing heavily as her fingers involuntarily began inching towards the picture.
He flipped the next item over with a knowing smile, "And this one is a perfectly preserved doujinshi from a rather famous circle, CLAP before they started drawing officially. I heard that you collected them."
Her eyes began to sparkle as she crawled over to the blonde man on all fours, "Haaa…haaa…. Please… no more…. You Devil….stop!"
The evil grin he shot her did absolutely nothing to dissuade her from that particular notion, "I also happen to have some very rare novels that are no longer published. Each one of them are worth nearly 50000 yen." By the time he gently laid the book with an orange cover down, he already knew he had won. The red head was all but drooling, but retained enough of her sanity to remember not to soil the precious items.
"Yo-You are the DEVIL!"
Hook, line and sinker.
Naruto smiled sweetly as Matsu practically began licking the book; luckily he had a few spares, "Now about that favour…hehehe"
