The Shopkeeper of Konoha

/*So there has been a mistake in a much previous chapter where I write about Slug Sage art and confused it with the Hundred Healing jutsu. So I apologize for that. But I also want to say that I might commit some mistakes with some jutsu naming and maybe proper descriptions of some side characters. It is almost impossible for me to be correct at all times but if I see a glaring mistake I will correct it. The readers are also encouraged to point out the mistakes and I will be happy to correct.

Thank you. */

"You mean that silver haired one?" John asked as he remembered Aoto praising the silver haired masked guy as a war hero. Aoto nodded his head to it. Arya, John and Hot Pie got a general idea of the world and know they at least had the knowledge of not to embarrass themselves. They soon had their dinner which Aoto made himself again.

Only this time, Hot Pie helped a bit while Arya and John talked among themselves. While having dinner, John said.

"Aoto, is there any specific work you can give us?" John and Arya felt a bit guilty seeing Aoto and Hot Pie had everything settled and the two of them were just freeloading. They had grown up and they felt like they needed to do something in order to earn money here.

Aoto who was busy gulping down some noodles that he had made with the spices, couldn't help but look at John and Arya with serious eyes.

"It's not like I don't have anything that needs your exclusive help, but the thing is will you be up for the job?" John asked as he soothed his taste buds with a mellow soup.

"I have sailed the high seas, I am up for anything." Arya proclaimed. While John was just silent and looked at Aoto with anticipation.

"Good, looking at the fact that both of you are not virgin, here is something you both can help me with." Aoto said as he brought out a full set of lingerie from the system shop.

"You.. How do you know?" Arya was scared when he heard Aoto calling her out openly. The words of Aoto impacted John too as he looked at his beloved sister.

"Arya, is it true?"

"What? I am grown up now. I killed the Night King and survived King Landing. I can take care of myself." Arya shot back.

"That doesn't give you the right to go after some random guy and .."

"And what John? What?"

"Nothing..."

*cough* *cough*

Aoto could see that John didn't know that Arya had gone and lost his virginity to that Gendry. He didn't remember if others came to know in the series as he speed run the series after the death of Nigh King.

"We can have the family disagreements later.. Can you please pay attention here." Aoto wanted to stop them. John in his anger might say something which he might regret later so he needed them to stop right here.

John just looked away from Arya while Arya was fuming. She exactly knew what her brother was going to say and that thought made her never want to talk with him again. So what that she went and had some fun, she had all the rights to enjoy herself.

She wasn't some Princess anymore and she had long ago left that title.

The two of them took a close notice of the pink lingerie that Aoto had brought out. It was quite cute and was almost transparent.

"What is this? Harness for a horse?" John asked trying to change the topic and not try to think of what had just revealed.

"Don't be stupid. There are no horses here." Arya said.

"So? That doesn't mean there are no horses outside. People will need them to travel." John argued back. Aoto had an awkward face now. All he wanted was them not to start their fight about Arya virginity but it seemed like their argument would trickle down to other topics too.

"It's not a horse's harness?"

"Huh?"

"Eh!"

"So it's some kid of rope to hang clothes? I have seen how the people here wash clothes and then take it out at the sun to make them dry. But don't you think that the ropes are too small." Arya said as she took the lingerie on her hand. She felt the fabric and it was soft to her touch.

"The ropes are quite small. It will not work." John also commented.

"It's neither a horse's harness nor a rope. It's a woman's underwear." Aoto finally put a stop to their assumptions.

"What?"

Arya almost screamed and in panic threw the lingerie up in the air. Aoto just put his hand out and caught it. These were expensive and he didn't want to destroy one just because a small girl got cold feet.

"How.. How are these women's underwear?" John asked. In their world, he had never seen such cloth, not even among the rich. Though both of them did know what underwears were but they had never seen one with such shape and size.

Arya who had been scared for some weird reason looked at the lingerie and was in denial.

"These flimsy things can't be under wears. How will they protect us against enemies." John too nodded his head. Hot Pie, who had gone to pour some extra noodles on to his bowl also joined them and was in acceptance with the words of Arya. All three of them couldn't fathom that such flimsy things could be under wears

"You can ask Arya to try it out and see if I am wrong or not." Aoto got angry and gave the two pieces to Arya.

"I am not wearing these." Arya straight up denied.

"I am not asking you to wear it in front of anyone. I am asking you try it out in privacy and then tell me." Aoto could understand what was going through her mind seeing the transparent cloth.

"No.."

"Please Arya. This is important. Didn't you say you want to be helpful. I want you to try it and then help me sell them. I am a boy so it will be very hard to get customers. While you are a woman and you will get customers quite easily." Aoto looked at her in pleading eyes.

Arya now hesitated and then looked at her brother. Her brother didn't say anything and just let his sister decide what she wanted since she had all 'grown up'.

"Fine, but nobody will see it." Arya said.

"No need. I just want your opinion as you will be the one to sell it."
