[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 352 I'm Just a Humble Maid

Hana is the capital of Wano.Now the residence of Kurotan Orochi, who is the lord of the Wano country and the shogun, is here.But in the now devastated Wano country, Huadu can be said to be the only "Xanadu".

The bustling streets, the frolicking crowd, if you just look at this place, no one would have guessed that just outside the city wall is a wasteland full of corpses.It is said that only rich people can live in Huadu, and once they lose their money, they will be kicked out.

In this place, unless you are a worker who comes to do hard work and has to go back outside the city at night, or a geisha who sells her money just to survive, otherwise, you must be a 'high-class person' with a lot of property '.Nobles, wealthy businessmen, even robbers who kill and plunder, no matter where your money comes from, this flower capital never asks too much about the past of your money.

And on the streets of Huadu, if it is not for the rich and powerful, or a few people who have close ties with the 'upper class', as long as they hear the name of 'Kuangshi Lang', they will all put away their attitude when facing people outside the city. A kind of pride and joy, began to tremble.

It is said that a long time ago, when the boss of Huadu was Yukino Goro Hana who was known as "Flower" Leopard Goro, the boss was not so frightening.Kogoro is a highly respected and powerful samurai. He resolves disputes and deals with gangsters. It can be said that he is another force guarding this Huadu—but, maybe, □□ is □□□, and one day it will be decline.

Kogoro's whereabouts are unknown, and Kageshiro takes his place.Contrary to before, Kuangshilang is loyal to Heitan Orochi, and under the crazy rule of Orochi, he helps the evildoers.He and his men forcibly collect protection fees from every merchant in Huadu, which is more like a way to verify that merchants are eligible (rich enough) to stay in Huadu.

In any case, everyone here knows that if someone messes with them, time is numbered.

"Although the rumors are terrible, I still think Dover is a little more scary."

"But cabbage, you're not afraid of Dover at all, are you?"

Youxiang stuck out her tongue.She didn't explain it positively.Maybe it was because she knew Dover was Rosie's brother from the beginning, anyway, she was really not afraid of him at that time.As for now...

"Huh? You little girl is quite brave to come here!"

The gatekeeper at Kyoshiro's own mansion had already spotted Yuka.They walked up to Youxiang in twos and twos, and surrounded the little girl: "If you get lost, you have to find the right place! Be careful and sell you to the veranda?"

"That's right here. The place of application." Youxiang, who was not frightened at all, held up the recruitment notice of Kuangshilang's family, and she said, "Although I heard that Mr. Kushiro lived in Zuojing, I didn't expect that there would be someone under the city. What about the mansion?"

"Of course! Who do you think our Kuangshilang family are? But..." One of the leading hooligans took the raised recruitment notice, and he frowned and said, "Someone will really come Ah... I was taken aback."

"Huh? Are you not actually hiring a maid?"

"Maid? You mean the maid." The man said while waving the recruitment notice, "The maid of Mr. Kuangsi Lang was discovered a few days ago to have an affair with one of his subordinates, and tried to steal money, so she was disposed of." I can’t spare any manpower to take care of Mr. Kushiro’s daily life. I had no choice but to come up with this idea. I thought no one would dare to come, so I was thinking of going to the veranda to buy one.”

It's really random... This kind of dangerous atmosphere, indeed, girls from ordinary families would not dare to come!But I'm not an ordinary girl!My grandpa is a great hero of the navy!Youxiang thought so in her heart, and she said, "Now that I'm here, do you need an interview?"

"..." Isn't this little girl too relaxed?The gangster at the head re-examined Youxiang.He doesn't seem to have much choice right now.Even if you go to the veranda to buy it, you have to spend money.Wouldn't it be nice to have a free one here?So he said, "Okay. Let you try it. You can do the basics, right?"

"Not at all~~I thought there would be induction training~~"

"How could there be!!" Really, where did the little girl come from!The hooligan seemed to have no other choice, he said, "Anyway, I'll take you to see Master Kuangshilang first! If he agrees, you can stay! You have to behave well, otherwise if you offend that person, you will die!" I don't even know how I died!"

"I understand!" Is it so easy... It seems that there is really a lack of people.You Xiang was about to skip and walk into the mansion as he said that, but was stopped after receiving it: "Wait a minute! What is that on your head? A hat??"

"It's Grandpa." Youxiang touched Grandpa Meow lying on her head, "Aren't you allowed to bring Grandpa to work?"

"Normally you wouldn't allow it!!" And what happened to grandpa!cat's name? ?This cat looks a bit strange, is it really a cat? ?Is this little girl really okay? ?The hooligan who took the lead began to give up thinking at this time.No matter what the problem is, Lord Kushiro can solve it.He said yes.It's that simple.

"Forget it... hey..." He sighed, "If you are killed, don't hate me."

"No! I am very experienced!"

"Ah?? Didn't you just say that you know nothing about maids?"

"I don't know how to do things like maids, but I'm good at other things."

"What are you good at? Hey, what else do you say you are good at???"

--Headache.

Kushiro felt a splitting headache.This is probably the result of the double whammy of sleep deprivation and hangover.Work or something, I don't want to do it.I'm already the boss of the gang, so it's okay if I don't go to work for a day or two!During this period of time, Heitan snake became more and more afraid.

There are rumors that the ruins of Oden City are always ablaze recently, as if someone is there, which reminds Orochi of Madam Shi's prophecy.I'm really afraid of Kozuki Oden, the big snake.Obviously he is dead.Does even his undead make you shudder?Really worthless guy.

Forget it, sleep well today without thinking about anything...

"Master Kushiro~~ Wake up~~~"

This is an auditory hallucination.Why is there a woman's voice in the room... I must have drunk too much, coupled with the hangover, I had hallucinations.

"It's already noon now. If you don't get up again, you won't be able to work in time! Although I don't know what kind of work Mr. Kushiro has, it should be quite a lot."

That's right, it should be quite a lot.True to my hallucinations, that is knowing what is urgent.But I don't want to do it now.I just want to sleep.

"Master Kushiro has a dangerous aura about him."

Of course.I'm afraid I'm not one of the most dangerous people in Huadu.

"This feeling of the barrier being torn apart is very familiar. Are you the same as me...?"

? ?What?

Suddenly, Kushiro realized that the voice was not his hallucination.He came back to his senses suddenly, forcibly dispelled the drunkenness and drowsiness, and sat up on the tatami.The girl in front of her had never-before-seen pure white long hair, and her big off-white eyes of almost the same color were as clear as transparent.

She's wearing a 'Ninja Ninja' outfit that's too sexy for her, because it really doesn't suit her temperament, so it's not ugly but it's a bit inappropriate.And what Kuangshilang cares most about is the...

The same breath as myself.

"You are... who are you?"

The breath of death.Breath of madness.It was as if some important barrier had been shaken.This is not the murderous aura or domineering aura that only strong people have, but a very special situation, which is the feeling of... extremely dangerous that I felt in the Yan Mo Temple.

"I'm the new maid~"

"Maid? You mean maid?" What a joke, absolutely impossible.It is impossible for a woman like you to become a maid.Because you're surrounded by things that don't allow you to be normal anymore—it's fake.lying.

Kageshiro immediately picked up his own knife, put his hand on the handle, and drew the knife out of its sheath without hesitation, but the light in the whole room dimmed in the next second, and the tatami mat became a crack. Rocks, orange light emerges from the cracks in the rocks. If you look closely, there is still lava flowing in it!

"Are you really..."

"Don't be so nervous. This Lord Kuangshilang."

It was not Youxiang who spoke, but Frey who walked up to Youxiang who was kneeling on the ground and then sat down. He said with a slightly frivolous smile, "We are not your enemy. You just need to put that knife Take it back, and the room will be restored to its original state."

"..." What... this man with long red hair, no, he is definitely not a 'human'.It's an evil spirit.It's the same as the evil ghost I saw in Yan Mo Temple!But... Even if you know that the other party is a ghost, you can't act rashly.I can't die now.

Even if you bow your knees to the enemy, even if you endure humiliation for 20 years, you must not die.Must live.We must wait for that moment to come.

Kushiro calmed down, and he put away his knife.Just like Frey said, the moment he sheathed his knife, the room returned to its original state.Neither darkness nor lava disappeared.Only Youxiang and Frey were left sitting in front of him.

"Who are you?" Kuangshi Lang asked again, "Why did you come to me?"

"Because of this." Youxiang also took out the maid's recruitment order again, and she said, "Then, a Mr. Hooligan brought me here."

"Are you kidding, you..." Really? !Recruiting maids can also recruit ghosts!Am I cursed? !Kushiro pointed to Frey, and he said, "Then what is this thing?"

"It's Frey."

"What's Frey?"

"........."

"........."

"I'm just a little maid, I can't explain it to you."

"—You just don't want to explain it!!" Ah no, it's up!Probably because of the hangover, Kuangshilang had a splitting headache.He calmed down a bit, then supported his head and said, "Did you come to me because you realized that we are the same kind?"

"Hmm, yes."

"is that a lie!"

"Master Kushiro is really evil~~"

"Hey..." What is going on with this little girl... Kuangshilang wanted to give up thinking a little bit, he said, "We are not fellow travelers. If you just want to know what is going on with me, then I will tell you now .I was just possessed on a particular night. It's not your business. Go home."

"..." Possessed by a ghost?Youxiang turned to look at Frey, and Frey shook his head.So she said to Kuangshilang, "I'm here to be Mr. Kuangshilang's maid, so I won't just go home like this."

"...Then what is this on your head?"

"It's grandpa."

"Do you think you can pass the interview like this?"

"If I can't pass, Mr. Kuangshilang would have kicked me out a long time ago."

"I, you - let's do it!" What's the matter!However, I am a little concerned about... this evil ghost.Kuangshilang thought for a while, and he said, "Because I'm possessed by a ghost, so I have nowhere to go. Little girl."

"…………"Yes.It seems that you hit a point.Youxiang was stunned for a moment, and then she said, "When I saw Mr. Kushiro, I really felt a kind of vague rejoicing. It turns out that there are people like me in this world...I'm not the only one. That's great. "

"It's because you resemble me." After all, you're just such a little girl... What did you go through to be haunted by such a ghost?Kuangshilang gave up resisting, he said, "There are really ghosts in this world, no matter who you tell them to, they will think they are crazy."

"That's what I said..."

"Since we both trust each other, let's do this." It's really helpless.Kageshiro lay on the tatami again, and he said, "Hurry up and do what the maid should do. You should be able to close the window, right?"

"It's too high to reach~~ But I can sing for Mr. Kushiro!"

"I'm going to sleep! What kind of song are you singing!" This maid is really not good at all!Kageshiro got up from the tatami again, and he had to close the window by himself.Then he looked back at Youxiang who was following behind him, "What's your name?"

"Xiangxiangzi!"

"is that a lie!"

"It's fragrant~"

"Hey...you are fragrant. You..." Kuangshi Lang stared at the little girl, and then said earnestly, "Go and change clothes."

"...Is it that inappropriate? I said Mr. Kushiro!! I'm still a little bit confident!!"

"It's not suitable at all!! Here's the money! You can go buy a new one now!!"

"Excessive. I don't want to, I'm going to wear this."

"You are a maid, please find out your identity for me!!"

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Because Youxiang felt the 'sense of companionship' in this person, she became acquainted with her.This 'sense of companionship' comes from: they are all haunted by ghosts.

Kuangshilang changed his appearance after staying in Yan Modian for one night. Although there is a saying of being possessed by a ghost, it may actually be just a metaphor.But this is where it comes into play.Anyway, he must have seen a 'ghost' that day for some reason.

And, the person who changed Xiangxiang into suitable clothes was Kuangshilang!I didn't guess it at all, hehe
