Chapter 378 Sir, times have changed
After returning to the banquet scene, Kuangshilang and Youxiang found that the situation had not changed.Orochi still had a good time, and the guests were drinking and chatting.The maids and geisha are busy with banquets and performances.No one knew what happened outside, and the ninjas didn't seem to want to spoil Orochi's interest now.
They found a side seat and sat down, and said to check the situation again, Drake sat beside him unceremoniously, and said, "Kuangsi Lang. I have something to tell you."
"Huh?" Kaido and I had nothing to say, Kushiro was a little strange and impatient, "What do you want to say?"
"If something happens to this little girl, please contact me." With that said, Drake handed a communication telephone conch to Kuangshilang, "For some reason, if something happens to her, I will have a hard time dealing with it." .”
"Why?" It was Youxiang who asked the question, and she said, "Is there something Mr. Drake is hiding from me?"
"Hey... Go back and ask your friend named Matthew." If something happened to you under my nose, I would have no face to go back to see Lieutenant General He.Then he may be hunted down by Lieutenant General Garp for a lifetime.Drake sighed and said, "I'll help you with what I said, but... the best I can do is get you here, You Xiang. Something happened to the rabbit, Quinn was called back Now, I should go too."
"..." Mr. Drake is... Youxiang looked at him suspiciously, while he pretended not to notice, took a sip of his wine, then patted the top of Youxiang's head and left the vicinity.Can see him walk out of the banquet room, maybe go back?
"Is that also an ex-boyfriend? Xiangxiangzi?" Kuangshilang leaned over and asked.
"No." How could I have so many ex-boyfriends!Youxiang denied it, and she said, "I always feel like I'm being worried about again..."
"Why not?"
"Mr. Kuangshilang has been keen to complain about me since the beginning!"
"I just want you to know how outrageous and dangerous what you're doing is."
"Hmph~" Of course I know it's dangerous...but even if it's dangerous, it doesn't mean it's incorrect and shouldn't be done.Youxiang turned her face away and said "I won't tell you anymore", she looked around the chaotic banquet for a familiar figure.Miss Robin might be here too, if she can be found...
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Suddenly, the big snake at the banquet did not know what to say, and a very crisp laughter rang out, and there was no sound in the banquet, only this laughter could be heard: "Hahahahahahaha! Master Big Snake... is actually afraid of ghosts hahahahahaha !"
Fear instantly filled the entire room, some people began to whisper to the maid to take away the laughing person, and some people directly warned her not to laugh.But the kid who was laughing couldn't stop.
Youxiang and the others naturally attracted attention. It was a little girl about the same age as Xiaoyu, with neatly trimmed pink hair. She should be the maid in charge of serving wine. For some reason, she couldn't stop laughing all of a sudden. stand up.This state...is it also □□ile?
Youxiang was a little worried, but Kageshiro grabbed her arm and told her to calm down and wait for the change.The girl's laughter was getting louder and louder, and she had no intention of stopping at all, which made the big snake angry.Heitan Orochi seems to be very afraid of the prophecy left by Mrs. Shi before her death that the Kozuki family will come to revenge in 20 years. Youxiang has also heard of this. Chris also said just now that he is very afraid of ghosts.
But how could Orochi, who was in a high position, tolerate being ridiculed like this, it just hit his lungs.He smashed the wine glass angrily, drew out the knife and rushed towards the girl: "How dare you...how dare you laugh at me!!!"
"Master Orochi!!"
"Master Orochi! I'm sorry!! Please forgive this child!"
"Once she starts laughing, she can't stop! Orochi-sama!"
People panicked and wanted to do something, but no one really dared to step forward to stop the big snake. Just when his trembling knife was about to slash at the little girl who couldn't even run away. ! !
"Snapped!"
The unexpected person rushed up and slapped the big snake. After people were shocked, they looked at the person who did it, and became even more shocked.That person turned out to be 'Oiran' Xiao Zi!
"It's too ugly! Big snake!!"
"Little, little purple..."
The big snake was also frightened, no matter how he thought about it, he never thought that such a day would come.Xiaozi is the number one beauty in Wano country, no, maybe the number one beauty in the world, someone who can only be worthy of him, Heitan Orochi.Originally, I thought that one day, I would be able to marry a beauty and reach the pinnacle of my life again, but who would have thought...
"What are you doing, big snake?"
Xiao Zi's expression was completely different from just now.If she was just a geisha at any rate, now she is more like a leader, a warrior... with a mission and will never bow to anyone: "Hit hands on a child who has no strength to restrain a chicken, Is that what a samurai should do?"
"Xiao Zi, you actually... actually..." The big snake was still shocked by the slap just now, he said in grief, surprise and anger, "Why! Xiao Zi!! Do you want to disobey me too? ?!"
"Master Little Zi!!"
"No!! Apologize!!"
"Master Xiao Zi, please, don't!"
The people around began to persuade Xiaozi again, and it could be seen that many people were already desperate.However, Big Snake likes Xiao Zi, if she can apologize immediately, then maybe she can...
"I am the daughter of a samurai family. I will never bow my knees for this kind of thing." However, Xiao Zi also had a firm attitude. She looked at the big snake sternly, and the big snake looked at her, and for some reason, an inexplicable fear rose in her heart .This look reminded him of the person from long ago, the person he still fears even now——
Fear turned into anger in the next instant, and the big snake yelled angrily: "Xiao Zi!!!" Then, his body changed, and his whole body began to become bigger and deformed. At this time, the surrounding guests Unable to sit still anymore, they got up and started running outside: "No, Master Orochi!!"
"Please calm down! Master Orochi!!"
"Run away! Run away!!"
Just as people were running away, the big snake had turned into a monster big snake with multiple heads!His head starts scurrying around the room, even biting fleeing guests and throwing them into the air!The big snake roared angrily: "Xiao Zi!! Xiao Zi—I will give you one last chance!!"
"I will not back down."
Xiao Zi didn't even hesitate, although for a moment, she was indeed a little surprised and frightened by the big snake's form, but that look didn't stay on her resolute face for a long time.And this made Orochi even more angry: "Then die!!!"
He roared, and a snake head bit Xiao Zi down!There were screams from all around, and Xiao Zi closed her eyes, she would never back down, never back down, and she would never even have the slightest desire to beg for mercy.If this is my end point, then——? !
Just a click!The pain that Xiao Zi imagined did not appear on her body, she opened her eyes, and saw a strange man wearing a fox mask holding a sharp knife in front of her to block the snake's teeth! !The knife in the man's hand was placed in the big mouth of the big snake's head, and the part that touched the snake's head made a hissing sound as if something was scorched, and green smoke came out!
"You, you are..." Xiao Zi didn't know this person at all, and she didn't think there would be such a person among the guests.The man who saved him just smiled and said, "It's really over now, Miss Xiao Zi."
"?"what?
Xiao Zi didn't quite understand, but at this time the big snake's snake head gave up attacking because of the pain and leaned back. Instead, the other heads immediately came over: "You! Who are you?!!"
"I...Master Orochi. I am a ghost." The man wearing a fox mask pointed the knife at the Orochi, and said, "I am the existence you have always feared. I just travel through time and space and come to attack you The remaining will of this land... Heitan Orochi! The time for repayment has come!!"
"What—" What a joke!People like you, people like you... The big snake became furious, and several of his snake heads attacked the man and Xiao Zi behind him almost simultaneously: "Are you making fun of me?!!"
"what!"
The man blocked two attacks with the knife in his hand. He took a step back, grabbed Xiao Zi's waist, spun around while holding her, and then dodged the attacking snake's head that even pierced through the floor!The moment Orochi attacked again, the thing pointed at him changed from a blade to the muzzle of a fire-gun! !At this moment, the white carved musket flashed a strange blue-green light——
"My lord." The man said with a smile, "The times have changed!"
With the sound of his words, there was a bang!The gun □□ emits huge energy!White and blue-green lights intertwine and then explode!The sliding doors of the entire room were broken! !Those who failed to escape in time were all engulfed by the energy of the explosion!However, after the aroused fog dissipated, the people who were about to pee in fear found that they were not dead, and...
Still feeling physically and mentally healed?Um?
People sat blankly on the tatami mats, and even the big snake returned to its original appearance, slumped there with a dazed and surprised face, and the crown on its head fell on its shoulders.But Xiao Zi and that mysterious man had already disappeared in the mist.
——What's the situation? That one just now!This gun is too scary! !
Katori sighed in his heart while pulling Xiao Zi while running, but he didn't show it too much for the sake of being cool.In short, although unexpected, but finally escaped! !So here comes the problem!Where are you going? !
calm down!calm down!You are holding Wano Country's most beautiful lady in your hand now, you can't drop the price!Katori thought in her heart that there was nothing left, no matter how she left the big snake city first, there would always be other ways!
"Wait a moment! Please wait a moment!"
Xiao Zi who was behind seemed to have something to say, Katori stopped for a while, and he looked at the fact that there seemed to be no pursuers, so he said, "Miss Xiao Zi, we have to get out of here quickly."
"I, I know! But..." Xiao Zi looked worried, she frowned slightly and said, "You... May I ask what are you..."
"Miss Xiao Zi, I—"
"Are you my brother?!" Xiao Zi seemed to have made up her mind to ask this question, and she looked at Katori with eyes full of sadness and expectation.The momentum when she confronted Orochi just changed into the mood of a little girl who can’t find her family. She grabbed Katori’s sleeve, “You just told Orochi that you are... a ghost that came through time and space, so, could it be that ..."
Brother?What did Xiao Zi mean...?Katori was a little confused, but he saw that Xiao Zi was about to cry, so he quickly comforted her: "Sorry, I am not Miss Xiao Zi's brother... I was just entrusted with this mission. However, I I will be responsible for protecting you to the end, Miss Xiaozi."
"Liar!"
"what?"
"Liar!! Wooah..."
Suddenly I started crying! !Because Xiaozi slammed her head into her chest and cried while shouting to lie, Katori became a little flustered, and now he understands the bewilderment of the person who is spoiled and willful by him (the normal version of himself): "X-Miss Xiaozi? that……"
"If it's not my elder brother...why...why do you want to lie...that kind of statement...isn't it only possible for you to be my elder brother!"
That kind of statement?Is there any relationship between Xiaozi and the Guangyue family?Just as Katori wanted to ask, he heard footsteps in the corridor not far away. It would be terrible if he was discovered, and he immediately said, "Sorry, Miss Xiaozi. I will apologize to you later, let's get out of here first!"
"Hmm..." Xiao Zi pouted, and she said, "I understand. But you have to make it clear! My lord brother!"
"I'm really not your brother..." Absolutely not.That's the only thing I'm sure of!Katori has no choice but to emphasize it again, but Xiaozi seems to be unable to listen to it now, so go to a safe place first and then explain carefully...
"Katori-sama! This way!"
Um?At this moment, Katori heard someone's voice, and when he turned his head, he saw Aqiu, a geisha whom he had rescued before, hiding behind a sliding door in a room, calling out to him.Without thinking too much, he dragged Xiao Zi and ran over.They hid in this room together——
"Miss Robin!"
There were two other people in the room, and Katori blurted out the name because he was too surprised.Robin raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "Huh...? Do you know me?"
"Ah!!" By the way, Ms. Robin couldn't recognize herself in this state now!This is a hassle to explain!Only then did Katori react, but at this moment Xiaozi saw the little girl in Robin's arms: "Huzi!" She immediately ran over and interrupted the conversation between Robin and Katori.
That girl was the one who was almost killed by the big snake just now.It should have been rescued by Xiao Zi, and then taken away by Robin taking advantage of the chaos.Very good.Then everyone will be saved.Katori breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "By the way, why is Ms. Aqiu here?"
"Great, we met again, Master Katori!" Aqiu looked very happy, she even went over to give Katori a hug, "I, that... I came to attend Master Orochi's banquet, when the accident just happened, I didn't expect you to appear suddenly, Katori-sama, so I wondered if I could help..."
"I see. However, you will be implicated if you stay with us like this, Miss Aqiu." Katori shook his head, and he said, "It's okay, we still have a way—"
"No! I, since I met Katori-sama, I have thought a lot... I still remember what Katori-sama said to me, and I think what you said makes sense. If you just think about your identity all day long and feel sorry for yourself, you won't Change anything. It's scary, but I want to do something."
As Qiu spoke, she pulled Katori to a corner of the room, she took away the vase that was there, and raised a piece of the floor below, there was a secret passage here? !
"I have been to Big Snake City several times before. Once, a sister who sells wine told me about this secret passage. It was dug by the city manager who smuggled wine and other things behind Mr. Big Snake's back." Aqiu explained, She said, "Master Orochi's people don't know that there is this secret passage. It leads all the way to the outside of the city. Master Katori, you must have no problem escaping from here!"
"Aqiu..." Although Katori was very happy, she was still a little worried, "Thank you for helping us. Why don't you run away with us too?"
"You say that, Ah Qiu is very happy." Ah Qiu smiled, and she said, "However, I feel that even if I follow Katori-sama like this now, I can't do anything. On the contrary, if I stay, I can help more People. It's okay, no one will care about a little geisha like me. But you, Katori-sama..."
As he said that, Aqiu hesitated and shyly stepped forward to grab Katori, and kissed him on the cheek: "Please be safe!"

The author has something to say:
Youxiang also mentioned it when she got the 'Shy Knife' from Shi Jiang before to purify the blood. This knife seems to be tailor-made for the 28-year-old Momanosuke.But now that Momanosuke is 8 years old, he has no choice but to forcibly 'make' an incense and take it out.Xiao Zi may be admitting her mistake here, or she may want to believe that her brother can fall from the sky like this and rescue people from the despair of 20 years.
