"Eh? you'll be in joining Shikadai?" Inojin asks as they Both march towards the streets of Konoha, going towards the central post office where Inojin will drop her off. "Hm! Mama said that walking would increase my stamina little by little and decrease my fatigue so It would be helpful." Seiren says.

"Are you sure you don't want to join me?" he asks, indicating going to the fire department with Metal and some other classmates who were happy to go for the experience. "I'll be fine. Shika will be there for me!" she reassures.

Inojin rolled his eyes "Boruto and Mitsuki will be there too." Seiren made an ok sign with her fingertips "The more the merrier!" she chirps. The blond said nothing and respected her wishes. He was glad that they were on good terms again after what happened last week and they hadn't exchanged conversations throughout the weekend.

Seiren has told him everything. Encountering and meeting the infamous Senju Kaizen one night in the park with Keishi following. It was quite a sight to see her all bubbly and happy. She even apologizes numerous times and lets Inojin have a laugh of relief.

"Oi! You left Sei!" Inojin was irked when he spotted Shikadai at the entrance of the post building. Seiren tugged his sleeves, shaking Her head "Now, now. That's alright." she giggled before looking back at them to see Boruto looking at her With a bright smile "It's great you could join us, Sei!" he cheered. Mitsuki says nothing but having him smiling at her was a good start.

Shikadai pulls Seiren with him, apologizing to Inojin in the process "Let's go." Both of them wave Inojin goodbye as he walks away. A man approached and tipped his hat as a greeting "Hello. I'll be showing you around today. My name is Tayori Kuroyagi. Nice to meet you."

Seiren bows politely and the boys mimic her actions "Hello! Please take care of us." She said timidly.

"First, let me explain what the job entails." Tayori led them into the building, going further toward a room full of sectioned boxes from different locations on shelves. "This is where we receive the deliveries for the day."

Seiren watched in panic as Boruto took hold of a parcel box, twirling it in rapid motion on the tip of his finger "We just need to deliver all of these? It seems a pretty easy task." his actions immediately took a toll on the Tayori as he immediately grasped the parcel, hugging it close to his chest "No! All of these parcels are precious."

The girl beside him sends him a pointed look that makes Boruto laugh awkwardly "Sorry. Sorry." he pardoned himself before they all watched a man walking towards them, pointing the armbands around the boys "You guys, your armbands are crooked."

Boruto grunts when Seiren fixes his armband, the scent of her hair reaches his nostrils as he watches her fix the fabric around his arm. Shikadai gave him an odd look before jabbing his stomach which earned a soft yelp from the blond boy "Hey!"

Shikadai straightened himself when Seiren raised her eyebrow at him before repeating the actions she did to Boruto before facing the man that Tayori called out with respect "Good morning, Bureau Chief Komame."

The teens watched as He approached them and Boruto couldn't help but blurt something out "So short!" Seiren stomps his foot before the Man can comprehend what he says as he watches Boruto hold his foot in pain. "Ouch! Ouch!"
