Seller's remorse

"I'll...be your servant!" Blurted Yuri, just now realizing what she said.

"Come again?" Yoshi spoke confused.

Quickly collecting herself, Yuri continued her sales pitch. "Erm, yeah. From today after sunset till tomorrow at nine in the afternoon, I'll do everything you ask of me. Cleaning, cooking, bookkeeping-"

"Weren't you terrible at math?"

"Okay, maybe not bookkeeping, but still. I'll do anything you ask for ¥1498.10, isn't that a steal?"

Yoshi contemplate for a few seconds. Her house was an absolute filthy mess, and she does not feel like cleaning. Plus, she relished the fact that she could torment Yuri again doing this.

"Deal!" She grabbed the orange from Yuri's hand and handed her the money. "Keep the change. Now, you better be ready to clean tonight, because I have a little something tomorrow."

"Thank you! Thank you! I'll see you tonight!" Yuri bowed, before she quickly dashed back towards Kohaku.

"Guess she didn't know that our class reunion would be hosted at my place tomorrow." Laughed Yoshi to herself. Looking at the orange, she sighed. "Couldn't she at least wrap this thing in plastic or something?"

"Come on, I only have a minute left!" Yuri darted through the streets, pushing her way through the crowd. "I swear, if I'm still too late even after I made that deal with Yoshi..." Looking ahead, she saw the orange stand. She ran even faster, almost missing the dog who lied in front of her. Not wanting to step on it, she leaped over the canine. She landed with both her arms on the counter, and slammed the money as hard as she could.

"MADE IT!"

"Erm, Miyahira? It's great and all that you managed to sell that orange in time, but please cover yourself..."

Looking to her side, she saw an elderly couple stare at her in shock and disgust. Looking to her back, she saw that she left her box when she leaped over the dog, who was now chewing on it. Laughing sheepishly, she shyly walked over to get her box.

"Aside from a few scratches and bitemarks, the box is still fine." Said Yuri. "But about our bet."

"I don't know how you sold it, but you did. Grab as many oranges as you can."

"You don't have to tell me twice!" She spread both her arms to pull in as many oranges as she could, until she realized that she still needed one arm for the box. A bit disappointed in her smaller haul, she managed to carry six oranges in her free arm. "Thanks for the free stuff, loser!"

Kohaku was about to say something, only to notice that one of the bitemarks in the box created a small gap, showing Yuri's... box.
