Chapter 405 - lrio's Heart
Inside Ichiro's room.
Once again, Ichiro was writing in the brand new notebook, trying to think about five other attacking techniques for True Iron Style.
He had slight difficulties deciding which ones because every technique has its own purpose.
On his bed, Azura was sitting with another notebook on her lap.
She concentrated on the pages that told about the Iron Style of Fundamentals and what she had to do to learn the basics.
Ichiro glanced at her and thought, 'We don't have the equipment for training… Need to guy them.'
*Bam*
He slammed the notebook shut and stored it inside the cabinet.
Azura flinched after the sudden noise; she looked surprised about Ichiro suddenly standing up and taking his jacket from the bed.
''Where are you going?'' She asked and watched as Ichiro walked towards the door.
''To City.'' Ichiro replied and zipped the jacket, ''Need to buy some equipment.''
''Ah, I wanna come too!'' Azura closed the notebook and quickly grabbed her jacket.
She ran after Ichiro, who had already reached the stairs.
They walked down the stairs and went straight past the living room with three middle-aged women talking.
Azumi, Iris, and Alena noticed two youths leaving the house, but they didn't say anything.
Once they left the house.
They grabbed each other's hands and started walking in the neighborhood's streets.
Nearby houses instantly reacted as a few curtains opened, and a shimmer of light appeared from there due to taking photos.
Azura pursued her lips and thought that in Irio, they would be able to live in peace, but they greatly underestimated Ichiro's fame.
Even Ichiro found out after Irio's News Station told about his sudden return.
Soon, they left the neighborhood and entered the bustling streets.
Everywhere they looked, passersby of different ages were hanging out after the winter cold had passed and the warm weather was returning.
Ichiro and Azura weren't even wearing winter clothing anymore; instead, very thin clothing.
''Ahh…'' Azura felt the wind brushing past her hair and had to narrow her eyes in satisfaction.
Ever since the visit to the Island of Grandmasters, she has grown to love warm weather.
Nearby citizens of Irio widened their eyes in shock after seeing the black-haired youth.
At first, only a few noticed him, but soon more and more heads were turned in his direction.
Ichiro was wearing sunglasses, but that could barely hide his facial features, which are rare sights everywhere.
Under the shocked gazes of nearby citizens, they reached a massive shopping mall.
It was called Irio's Heart, and it was a place where everything was being sold.
From food to clothes all the way to vehicles.
The shopping mall was crowded with people of every age.
Ichiro and Azura entered the shopping mall through glass doors.
Soon, they reached the stairs that led to the second floor and in front of them was a map of the shopping mall.
While Ichiro was looking at the place where the things he needs are sold, Azura curiously looked around the shopping mall.
Soon, she saw a group of young men leaving a store that was laughing with each other.
But then, they came to a stop after noticing Azura looking right at them.
Few of them winked with flirtatious smiles, but one of the young men became pale like he had seen a ghost.
Azura snorted and turned around.
''Hey, she is very beautiful, let's talk with her.'' One of the young men suggested with a wink.
But then, ''Are you an idiot?!'' One of them shouted with rage.
''What is wrong with you?'' The young man asked with a frown and didn't like one bit that he was called an idiot.
''Are you blind too?!'' The one who shouted pointed at the youth that was standing next to the beautiful young woman, ''Do you see who is standing next to her?!''
The young men snorted and turned around to look at the black-haired youth.
His arrogant face instantly changed.
A foam started pouring down his mouth as he passed out on the same spot.
''Fuck…'' The one who shouted previously facepalmed and said, ''Let's leave before he sees us.''
His friend nodded shakily and left, leaving the passed out young man alone.
''Found it.'' Ichiro pointed at the third floor, where the equipment they needed was.
''Let's gooo.''
''Yup.'' Ichiro entered the stairs with Azura, but then he noticed a crowd gathering around, passed out young man.
''What the hell happened there…'' He shrugged and left the area with Azura.
They went all the way to the third floor and reached a store that sold the things they needed.
''Hardware store?'' Azura saw the sign on top of the store and followed Ichiro inside the store.
''Welcom—'' The store clerk's voice died down after noticing who had just entered his store.
His eyes bulged out, and it was like a large lump got stuck in his throat, stopping him from breathing and talking.
''Hello.'' Ichiro stopped in front of the desk and took a piece of paper from his pocket, ''I would like to order these and get them delivered to this address.'' He put the paper down on the desk and saw how the store clerk's face had become bright red.
''Y-Y-Yes!'' He replied with a very shaky tone.
Ichiro nodded and rubbed Azura's hand as he said, ''Well, we are done here.''
''Already?'' Azura sighed with disappointment, ''Can't you tell what you ordered?''
''Nope.'' Ichiro chucked and left the store with Azura.
After they left, the store clerk fell down on his butt while getting drenched in his own sweat.
''Dad, what's wrong?'' A short brown-haired youth came from another room and saw his father sitting on the floor.
''Hahaha…'' His father chuckled and replied, ''You missed… A chance to meet with legend.''
''Legend?'' His son frowned until he remembered only one person who was called a legend in Irio, ''Y-Y-Y-You mean he was here?!''
''Yes…'' His father stood up and took the paper with shaky hands, ''He ordered something… Do we have these items in the back room?''
His son grabbed it swiftly and nodded after seeing the items, ''Yes, we have them all.''
''Good, pack them up.''
