Shirou's clones number 30 million

In the afternoon, the store welcomed another new customer.

Judging from her age, she was probably a high school girl. Her skin was tanned, and she wore a single ponytail, radiating a melancholy aura.

We have a client who will come to our door!

Realizing this, Aki Shino immediately perked up.

"Hello, this is the Seto Inland Sea branch of Yorozuya. What's bothering you?"

This is?

Nicole Robin stared at her blankly, then inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

So, even the Yorozuya has ordinary employees like this.

Do you accept all kinds of requests here?

"Of course, if you have any difficulties, our Yorozuya will be there immediately."

"I want to meet Oda."

"Are you looking for someone? I don't know who Oda you're referring to?"

"The author of the manga One Piece."

"Huh...? I see. Are you a fan of the manga artist? Please register here."

As Shino Aki registered on the paper, he thought to himself:

So there are such commissions.

That's true. Even if an ordinary person wanted to meet a cartoonist, they wouldn't know the cartoonist's address.

So, how much should I charge for this kind of commission?

"What is your name?"

"Nick Robin."

"Huh...? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before. Did you come back from abroad?"

Sure enough, she was completely different from the shop assistant from before.

Even hearing their own name, they remain unmoved.

"Do you only have one employee at this store?"

"Of course not, there's another person. He went outside to recruit employees."

After noting down some more information about the commission, Shino Aki picked up the phone and started dialing Hashiba Shirou's number.

"Shirou, a client has come to the door. The client wants to see the manga artist Oda-sensei, but they don't know what the appropriate fee would be?"

"Wait a moment, I'll be right back. We'll talk when we meet."

Nicole Robin looked at her in astonishment and disbelief.

If I remember correctly, Shirou seems to be another name for Saragni Saint?

I heard him say before that it seemed to be his nickname.

Chapter 446 I will not betray you

Chapter 446, Section 447: I will not betray you.

"I am back!"

Behind Shirou Hashiba were two young men, one fat and one thin, both wearing clothes with the Yorozuya logo printed on them.

Nico Robin sensed the same aura emanating from the three people as from the previous shop assistants—an aura that inspired fear.

"Nick Robin? You want to see Oda? Well, you're smart, so you tend to overthink things."

Once again, they recognized me at a glance and knew what I was thinking.

Although they look completely different, Nico Robin has a strange feeling that the Holy Spirit of Saragni is standing there.

"Thank you for your help."

"You are welcome."

Shirou Hashiba smiled and then looked at Aki Shino:

"This is our first order of the day, so we won't charge you."

Although the specifics are unknown, the money on Nico Robin was definitely given to her by the Celestial Dragons.

The money of Tianlong Renlang is his own money. Taking her money is simply transferring money from one hand to the other, which is completely unnecessary.

"clear."

Shino Aki smiled slightly, crossed out the line containing the amount of money he had just noted down, and looked at the two newcomers again, asking in surprise:

Why wasn't I given that kind of work uniform?

“We’re just here to help. If you need it, I can sew a set for you right here.”

"No need, I was just saying it casually. I'll handle this request!"

Do you know where Oda-sensei lives?

"There...should be a way to find out, right?"

At this moment, the thin, new shop assistant suddenly raised her hand to signal:

"Wow! I know where Oda-sensei lives. I even had some dealings with him recently."

"This is a commission I just accepted," Shino Aki said hesitantly. "How about we go together?"

"What a waste of human resources! Who has two people guiding someone? Leave it to me, I'll bet my grandfather's name that I'll make sure she gets to see Oda-sensei."

Who is your grandfather?

"My grandfather is the world's number one detective. Don't ask me who he is; please deduce it yourself."

"Why...?"

Shino Aki fell into deep thought. Who could it be?

I'm not very familiar with the detective industry, but since we're talking about the world's best, they must be very famous people, right?

By the time she came to her senses, the skinny newcomer had already left with the client.

"Shirou, do you know who his grandfather is?"

"Haha... You need to reason things out yourself for these kinds of things."

Shirou Hashiba chuckled a few times, thinking to himself:

He was just making a joke, there's no need to take it too seriously, right?

Of course, such words could never be spoken aloud.

"Shino Aki, let the newcomer watch the shop here. Let's go out for a stroll."

"Huh...? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Shino Aki subconsciously looked at the fat shop assistant.

“You guys go ahead, I’ll watch over things here. Although I’m just a newbie, I’ve worked at a convenience store before, so I’m familiar with the work process.”

"That's it."

Shirou Hashiba smiled and then said:

"No one has come all day. It's already past 3 p.m. now, and there's no way any more customers will come."

"Take this opportunity to go for a stroll along the beach. It's a rare opportunity to come to the beach, so we can't just stay in the shop all the time. It's important to balance work and rest."

“Well…” Shino Aki looked at the chubby shop assistant and nodded slightly, “Then I’ll trouble you to watch the shop.”

"Leave it to me!"

The chubby shop assistant gave an OK sign, watched the two leave, and then muttered to himself:

"Honestly, why didn't you just ask me out on a date? You're such a dishonest guy."

Just then, someone else came in.

The chubby shop assistant looked up at the two people who came in, his face showing surprise.

Adagaki Aki and Koiwai Yoshino? What are these two doing here?

"Where's the female shop assistant from earlier?"

"She's out having fun. You can tell me what you need."

"No! I hate fat people."

Damn it! It's all my fault for turning me into a fat man.

"Please don't say such disgusting things. What's wrong with being fat? Wasn't your childhood sweetheart fat too?"

"What!" Adagaki Aki's eyes instantly turned fierce as she stared directly at him. "How did you know?"

"This is the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop), thank you. Although it's not an information brokerage, we often take on investigative requests."

"Oh...? Since you know everything, you must also know my current troubles, right?"

"I'm not a mind reader, how would I know what's bothering you? It can't be that your boyfriend is cheating on you, can it?"

Adagaki Aki's expression changed slightly, and a hint of anger appeared in her eyes.

"You knew all along. That's right, this is what I commissioned!"

"Why...?"

The chubby shop assistant looked surprised. Her boyfriend must be referring to Masamune Makabe, right?

So, Makabe found a mermaid?

"What do you want us to do? Help you win back your relationship?"

“No! I hate guys who try to have their cake and eat it too.” Adagaki Aki said angrily, paused, and then continued, “I want you to take me to see that girl.”

"Shouldn't you be able to say this to my face?"

"I don't even know who the other person is, how can I say it to their face?"
