He truthfully had nothing to say against that.
"But still Yuki! I really don't have to learn any of this! I'm telling ya that I will never use this information ever again-!" Naruto started before wincing as a flying projectile hit him in the forehead. He glared at the perpetrator, that devil woman over there...
The librarian.
The elderly woman just glared at him while throwing an eraser in the air and catching it, it was a show of force. She was threatening to throw another of those damn rubber erasers at him again...!
She'd get hers!
Yuki sighed at the blond's hostility to the chief librarian. The elderly woman hated when the silence of the library was broken and all perpetrators were punished with a precisely aimed eraser to the forehead. It legitimately hurt as well.
Mostly because no one expected such a frail-looking woman to throw so hard.
Naruto just grumbled to himself and sat down again to continue glowering at the history textbook in front of him. He was actually making a lot of progress, the problem was that she had to deal with his continuous and ridiculous claims that he would 'never use the information' once he was done in Kuoh.
Didn't he know that it would look suspicious if he worked at a low-end job while he was extremely wealthy? As humans they needed to fit in the modern world, so he couldn't be uneducated in the basics!
As a friend, it was her duty to stop Naruto from making silly decisions because of laziness!
"Hey Yuki...can we take a break? My brain is fried and I really don't want to keep reading about the Kamakura..." Naruto said tiredly while scratching his head.
Yuki stared at the blond for a moment before nodding at his request, she had something to talk to him about anyways.
"Alright Naruto. But first there are some things that we have to talk about." Yuki said quietly while moving up from her seat opposite of the blond to the seat right next to him.
Naruto raised an eyebrow at the move and couldn't help but remember that the hero had no sense of personal space. But her tone shifted to a more serious one, so he assumed that she moved so that there wouldn't be any eavesdroppers. "Alright. What is it Yuki? Sounds serious."
Yuki nodded. "Remember that call that I received at the abandoned church? Well it was from the leader of the Hero Tribe...he wants to meet me in order to discuss the recent events surrounding Kuoh Town. He also wanted to personally speak with you Naruto."
Naruto narrowed his eyes at that, the leader of a faction wanted to talk to him? Personally? Guess he got big names interested in him now. "Any idea why he might want to meet me Yuki?"
The young hero simply shrugged, she honestly wasn't sure.
"But...I do trust him Naruto. He's a good man." Yuki said with a comforting smile.
Naruto's eyes softened at that, so he's got Yuki's approval then...
The shinobi nodded decisively, meeting with such an individual could be nothing but good for him. He could get information on the individual who is leading the heroes and maybe find out more about the faction as a whole. The only thing he had to truly worry about is a double-cross...but since Yuki trusts him, he would trust his integrity.
"When can I meet him?"
Yuki smiled at Naruto's question. "The coming weekend."
Naruto nodded at that and began to think about meeting with such a person...he doesn't have much experience with treating important people with a lot of respect that their positions granted them. At most he treated such people formally, but never with outright deference like most people...
He wouldn't start now either.
Before he pondered the question further, he heard the library door creak open and saw Mio enter the library.
The young daughter of the original Lucifer pinned Naruto with a stare before walking towards his table.
Yuki glanced at the teenaged girl with interest as she stopped before the two of them with her hands on her hips. Obviously at least somewhat annoyed.
"Naruto. I can't really believe what I'm seeing right now...but I will ask later. For now, we have to talk about your lack of information-sharing skills." Mio said with a dry expression.
Yuki blinked at her words. Wait...
Naruto widened his eyes at her words. Wait...
"Ah right! Mio I forgot to tell you that-!" Naruto began, but was quickly silenced when an eraser smacked him in the head, most likely caused by the evil old lady.
"Ah. So you were going to tell me at least. But when were you planning on telling me this Naruto? This was pretty important to know about, especially when it involved...well...who it involved." Mio said while consciously trying not to talk about supernatural things in a library.
Naruto was about to defend himself, but he felt a sharp poke hit him in-between the sensitive juncture of his rib cage and his hips. He glanced at Yuki who was responsible for the annoying feeling.
"...You forgot to tell me too." Yuki said with dull eyes.
...
"I know! I was going to tell you two, but I was distracted by the evil student council and-!"
Another eraser was all he got before he finished his fast-tracked explanation.
He mentally decided that the librarian was going to go onto his hit-list.
No...she was going onto his shit-list. She was just that annoying to him right now.
As Naruto was distracted by the flying rubber projectiles, Mio only just noticed how the two individuals in front of her were sitting. Literally arm-to-arm, with no personal space being considered.
Mio blinked for a moment.
"...Yuki? Aren't you sitting too close to Naruto?" Mio asked hesitantly, pointing out how close they were to one another.
The hero looked to check her current proximity with the blond. They had to sit like that in order to talk without anyone hearing their conversation, plus they were friends right? This was what friends did, at least she was pretty sure they did. "I don't see what's wrong with how close we are Mio. Is there something wrong?"
"Uh...no not really. Just wanted to point that out I guess, not really a big deal or anything. Yeah, forget I said anything." the young half-devil reassured quickly and somewhat clumsily.
The hero looked at the young red-head with a tilt of her head before shrugging and watching the spectacle of the librarian face off against Naruto.
Mio just plopped down onto another chair, inexplicably annoyed for some reason.
