When Izayoi returned home, he did not cook or take a shower immediately.
He walked into the room and came out holding a locked box.
Judging from Izayoi's serious expression, this box must contain something very valuable.
The key to the chain was hidden in the secret compartment in the living room.
When the box was opened, it was not a scroll or a weapon, but a red ceramic piggy bank.
"Goodbye, little piggy bank."
Izayoi took the piggy bank out, his hands and voice trembling slightly, and his expression was sad.
After saying that, he turned his head, closed his eyes, and smashed the piggy bank to the ground.
The piggy bank made of ceramics was instantly broken into pieces, revealing a pile of coins.
Izayoi squatted down and picked up coins and banknotes one by one, just like he had stuffed them into the piggy bank since he was a child.
All this money was saved by Izayoi from his monthly pension and the reward for performing D-level tasks during this period.
As for the inheritance left by his parents, it had been used up long ago.
After all, he not only has to support himself, but also a big eater.
If the village did not have a monthly pension relief, which would not be stopped until he became a Genin, Izayoi would have been chewing tree bark and eating weeds.
Putting the coins in a bag, Izayoi threw the 23,000 ryo he had just received into it.
Then, he went out with the bag and came to a store.
With a bang, Izayoi put the bag heavily on the counter, pointed to something and said, "Boss, here are 388,300 ryo. I want to buy a film camera, and the rest of the money will be exchanged for film and materials for developing photos."
"Okay, thank you for your patronage."
The boss's enthusiastic voice sounded immediately.
Not long after, Izayoi walked out of the store with a camera.
"Finally bought it, it's not too late now."
Izayoi played with the camera lovingly, smiling and saying to himself: "Although it can't record the childhood scenes of me and Hinata, it can record the growth of Hanabi, it's worth it!"
"I'm without ryo, and the things in the refrigerator should not be eaten. Let's go hunting and barbecue tonight."
...
"Onii-chan, get up, the sun is shining on your butt."
The next day, Izayoi, who suffered from bed-ridden syndrome, still enjoyed the princess's wake-up service.
But this time, it was not the eldest princess who woke him up, but the little princess.
His nose was a little itchy, and Izayoi opened his eyes. In the hazy vision, a delicate and cute little face slowly became clear.
I saw Hanabi, wearing a yellow-brown kimono, sitting astride Izayoi, leaning over to hold the bangs braid, and using her hair to clean Izayoi's nose and face.
"Naughty, next time when you fall asleep, Onii-chan will do the same to you." Izayoi smiled and rubbed Hanabi's little face.
"Hehe... it was my sister who asked me to wake up Onii-chan. If you want to blame Onii-chan, blame my sister." Hanabi immediately rubbed Izayoi's palm and began to blame.
"... You go out first, Onii-chan still needs to wash up."
"Okay."
After playing with Hanabi on the bed for a while, Izayoi patted her little butt and signaled her to get out of bed.
Hanabi, wearing white socks, jumped out of bed and ran out. No wonder there was no sound at all.
After a simple wash, Izayoi opened the drawer of the desk and took out the camera inside.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Izayoi saw Hinata busy in the kitchen.
At this time, Hinata was not wearing the usual white windbreaker and black trousers, but a white kimono with purple and white petal patterns on the belt, cuffs and hem. Her long black hair was tied behind her head and turned into a bun.
She was wearing an apron in front of her and holding a frying pan, flipping the pan skillfully.
Hanabi was wrapping rice balls with seaweed on the dining table.
Seeing this scene, Izayoi couldn't help holding his breath, and walked on tiptoe with the camera, looking for the most harmonious shooting angle with the light.
With a click, a picture of the sisters, back to back, one standing, the other kneeling, both wearing kimonos, busy with their own things, was immediately preserved forever.
Hearing the shutter sound of the camera, Hinata and Hanabi looked over.
"Camera!"
Looking at the camera in Izayoi's hand, Hanabi's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, took off her gloves and ran over, with a look of surprise, "Onii-chan, when did you buy this camera?"
"I bought it yesterday."
"Onii-chan, let me see it."
"Be careful, Onii-chan spent 300,000 ryo to buy this, using up all my savings and the rewards I earned from the missions." Izayoi handed the camera over and reminded.
Hearing this, Hanabi wiped her hands vigorously on her expensive kimono, which should be enough to buy several cameras, and then took the camera.
"Onii-chan, how do I look at photos?"
"You have to develop them. After breakfast, Onii-chan will teach you how to develop photos."
"Okay, okay! Onii-chan, let's take a photo too."
"No hurry. Wait until your sister finishes cooking, then we'll take a photo together. That way it will be meaningful."
"Yeah..."
Looking at Izayoi and Hanabi playing around, Hinata had a happy smile on her face.
After Hinata finished making breakfast and Izayoi and Hanabi finished making rice balls together, the three of them sat at the dining table, holding seaweed rice balls, and took the first group photo with bright smiles.
Izayoi sat in the middle, and the sisters were on the left and right.
The person in charge of taking photos was Izayoi's shadow clone.
Selfie sticks are not as useful as shadow clones.
After breakfast, the three of them stayed in Izayoi's room, drew the blackout curtains, and started developing photos.
"So beautiful..."
Looking at the artistic photos of the sisters, Hanabi, who couldn't think of an adjective, could only marvel like this.
Hinata stared at the photo of the three of them, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
At this moment, the girl's thoughts were the same regrets as Izayoi's.
If only she had a camera when she was a child, she could record the process of her and Izayoi growing up.
But... it's not too late now.
So for the next day, Izayoi and the Hyuga sisters began to take pictures everywhere.
First in various places in the house, such as the living room, balcony, gym, yard...
Then they went outside to the familiar abandoned training grounds, and some beautiful waterfalls, and took pictures of one person, two people, or three people.
When passing by a big tree, Hinata took the initiative for once, and pulled the sleeve of Izayoi's specially changed robe, and asked with a blushing face: "Izayoi-kun, can you use the transformation technique?"
Hearing this, Izayoi was slightly stunned.
Then, following Hinata's gaze, he looked at the tree. Izayoi finally reacted and nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's go together."
"Yeah."
Hinata nodded happily. After Izayoi performed the Shadow Clone Technique, the two stood facing each other and made hand seals together: "Transformation Technique!"
The white smoke dissipated, and two children wearing ordinary clothes and with baby fat on their faces stood under the tree and smiled at each other.
Then the two looked at Izayoi's Shadow Clone and smiled brightly.
With a click, the scene was preserved forever.
