"Look out!"
Zeno has 2 seconds after the shout to dodge the cart that is falling over. He scrambles away, just in time because a larger barrel drops and breaks on impact on the spot he was in before. Zeno takes a deep breath and gives himself a pat on the back for dodging the barrels.
He glares at the fallen over broken barrels that spilled all their contents over the road. Rice everywhere, not to mention the peaches and the 1 or 2 barrels that spilled some salted fish.
"Hey! Zeno could have gotten seriously hurt, you should be more careful mister!"
"I am extremely sorry for the trouble mister! I will be more careful in the future, could you please forgive me kind sir!" Zeno staggers at the amount of sorry the man responsible was hurling out of his mouth.
"Zeno is fine, Zeno is fine. Anyway mister are you going to be fine? This looks like a stock delivery cart to Zeno. Won't you be in trouble for ruining the goods?"
"Ah! Right! I still need to bring these to the market!" The man fumbles around a little before turning to the spilled stuff. "No! Even the fish? That was the most important!"
Zeno glances at the spilled food and frowns in sympathy for the man. Poor guy probably lost his job for the cart falling over accidentally. Well, nothing much Zeno can do. The fish is still mostly in salt so it can probably be saved anyway.
"Father is going to kill me! Ah, right mister, I am sorry for almost running you over! My name is Tsuyuri Noboru." The man grins a little, and Zeno finally decides to leave. He is not touching the Tsuyuri's branch of the horrible and the terrible.
"Right, Zeno's name is Ouryuu Zeno. Nice to meet you and goodbye!" Zeno waves at the man as he walks away.
Anyway, Kareki said that Zeno wouldn't get any food if he didn't get back soon.
