Chapter 564 Lost Immediately
"My son was killed by those monsters!"
As soon as Matthew touched the door of the woman's house, he heard such a complaint from inside.He jumped onto the ledge and crouched by the half-open window.The form of a cat is easy to use, even if it is so blatant to eavesdrop, there will be no problem.
"Didn't you see people from the guild walking next to her? The empire can't control the affairs of the guild!" Another person said so comfortingly, she is a woman B who is about the same age as the crying woman, we will call them parties and auntie.
The aunt seemed to be very afraid of the guild, and she said with an exaggerated expression: "Don't you know? People in the guild will not be punished if they commit crimes. The empire can only arrest them and expel them from the country, but when they come back, no one will be punished." Know!"
"Woooo...but...but my child, did he just die like this?" The person concerned cried very sadly, and she said, "So, all those weirdos belong to the guild? Only the guild will take them in! "
"Only those who have nowhere to go go to the guild. People say that the members of many guilds were all criminals deported from various countries!" The aunt said alarmingly, "Your son must have been killed by their people too!"
Someone killed by the guild?It should be impossible for Mr. Luo's guild to arrive in Veronis. There will be a celebration here recently, so there should be quite a few people in the guild.Thinking of this, Matthew yawned like a kitten.At least act like one.
"I think so too. The officer of the empire told me that it was an orc with black fur. He has been active in this area recently and killed a lot of people." The person wiped his tears and said, "But why did you choose my son? He doesn't know anything. Didn't do it, just walked back to the city and was killed!"
Black-furred orc with many victims, killed on the way back to the city... sounds like a sociopath.Hmm... It seems that there is no valuable information.Matthew stretched a kitten and jumped off the ledge.It shouldn't be a big problem.After all, none of these companions would be killed inexplicably.
Luo will also follow Miss Youxiang every step of the way.
Matthew confidently walked the kitten towards the hotel. Many people would look back at his cute kitten along the way.The most troublesome thing is the children, they will really rush to pick up themselves, so Matthew will still be vigilant at all times.
"Have you heard? That killer..."
"...A lot of people have been killed recently, including my neighbor. I've been annoyed to see him for a long time!"
"That killer seems to specialize in killing that kind of corrupt guy!"
Listening carefully to the conversations of the people around him, Matthew found that this killer is quite popular!I've been focusing on Yamato before, and I didn't notice it at all.
"Cat—!!"
"Meow?!"
When he came back to his senses, Matthew found that he had been blocked by several children!As if facing a formidable enemy, he rushed out on the spot with a meow, completely ignoring the exclamation of the children behind him. If he was caught, he would be fucked for a long time, maybe even locked in a cage.Human cubs are full of frightening possibilities.
Thanks to the amazing maneuverability of the kitten's body, Matthew quickly escaped from control. He got into an alley, then got out again, and then bumped into a person's leg: "Meow! Meow!"
"?? Matthew??"
Ace looked at Matthew who was performing a meow punch under his feet, and bent down to hug him in confusion: "Why are you a cat here? You are not with the eldest lady?"
"Huh... it's really dangerous to act alone in this form!" Matthew was relieved after being hugged, and he said with a sigh of relief, "It's you, Mr. Ace! What are you hanging around here?"
"How boring I am to stay in the hotel by myself!" Isn't it because you all left me and went to play!Ace said, "I'm just going out for a stroll... Speaking of which, I've been hearing people on the street talking about killers since the beginning... You know?"
"Ah, I know a little bit. But it's only to the extent that I have heard a lot of rumors." Matthew meowed and licked the fur on his paws. He said, "I hope it has nothing to do with us. Let's go back to Youxiang soon. Over there, Miss, she also said that she will go to the celebration at night."
"Is she in good health?" I saw her a little tired before... Ace said, "I wanted to find a chance to talk to her about the things I forgot... But Luo and Nami have always been by her side..."
"After all, it's Miss Youxiang. If you can't find a chance now, you won't have a chance in the future." Who told you that you didn't seize the opportunity when you were alone!Look at Mr. Luo!Matthew patted Ace's face with a meat pad, "I will definitely laugh at you about this in the future!"
"So why don't you tell me directly!"
"I said I wouldn't help you, hum!"
Then don't hit me either!This little cat!Ace grabbed the kitten's paw, and then saw a few young girls around him watching him, then ran away laughing.He said, "I'm still quite popular..."
"What? Are you going to move on?"
"Empathy or something... You didn't tell me who I fell in love with!" Ace expressed his aggrieved, "I really can't remember! What can I do! Youxiang she——huh? Yes fragrant?"
"..." You should probably feel it a little bit, you idiot!Matthew meowed, then changed the subject, "Okay, let's go back quickly. Miss Youxiang will be worried."
Youxiang's name was called unconsciously just now... Now Ace wants to confirm that even more.What I forgot, and what Youxiang forgot...is the same thing?
In any case, Matthew would not answer any of his related questions, and they fought and fought all the way back to the hotel.Then he told Luo what he had heard from the street.Luo didn't seem to have a clue, after all, he had just arrived near Veronis, and he didn't understand the recent situation here.
"There shouldn't be any danger at the ceremony." Luo said, "Just don't act alone."
"Where is Xiang?" Ace looked around, only Nami and Yamato were around.
"...I slept in the room inside." Luo replied, "Wake her up when it's time to leave. She is very tired this day. Although I really want to persuade her not to go, but..." Little stars appeared in her eyes with anticipation, and I couldn't say the cruel words, "I'll take care of her. It's okay."
"Well... I said... Luo." Ace felt a little concerned, and he said, "Is it true that you are really interested in Youxiang..."
"what?"
"Are you really in love with her?"
"Ace is the boss." Luo made an unbelievable voice, "Do you think I've been pretending all this time?"
"No, that... After all, it's rare to fall in love at first sight..."
"But I just fell in love at first sight, what can I do??"
"Okay, I see... calm down!" Why are you so excited!sorry!I shouldn't have questioned your feelings!Ace said in a bit of confusion, "I just think...if it's not true, it's a bit too much for Youxiang..."
"Of course. I wouldn't allow that to happen to her." So the relationship was intense and lasting!Luo is very confident, he said, "What's the matter? Ace is in charge? Didn't you just 'just say yes to take her to Montagne'?"
"That's what I said..." Recently...I always feel weird.Ace said with a little difficulty, "But she is a young lady, everyone will worry about it! Luo! You promise me... don't let her go back to the palace, okay?"
"She really is..."
"Well. I met her in the palace. Then the news spread that the princess was missing the next day."
"Really... I understand." Although he had guessed it a long time ago, but now that he has confirmed it, Luo also strengthened his decision, "I will not let her go back to that kind of place. I promise you."
please.I was going to say that, but Ace didn't say anything.He thought a little about going to Youxiang right now to clarify what he wanted to say, but if he rushed into the inner room now, Luo would definitely stop him.Can I still talk to her alone before I get to Montagne...
Tangled and tangled, Ace spent some time in it.It was almost dark when he came to his senses.The afterglow of the setting sun turned the water of the canal not far away into red.The hotel has a nice view.
"The celebration should start after dark, let's get ready." Luo put down the things at hand, he seemed to be dealing with the guild's affairs just now, "Master Nami—ah, you're ready." Alright, I'm busy.
"Of course! I really like going to places with a lot of people!" Nami said as she fiddled with her skirt, which should be her new one. "Let's go!"
"You don't want to go to the festival to steal things, do you?" It seems that this is why you like to go to places with many people.Ace asked such a question, and Nami took his arm: "Stop being wordy! You can accompany us today, big brother~~"
"Brother...?"
"?"
Ah, I just naturally called him big brother... Nami was also taken aback for a moment.I just called it out...why?
"By the way, Nami. You are from Asikote, right? I actually want to ask you something." Ace remembered something, "I have a younger brother who used to be a knight in Asikote .”
"Huh?" Really... Nami was a little surprised, and then the expression on her face became serious, "Yasikot...no one has survived. Even those who survived have disappeared. .”
"As expected..." There was still no news.Ace said, "It's nothing, you don't mind. Since it's my own brother, I can feel if he's still alive. He's probably still somewhere."
"Really..." Really confident.It would be great if it was like this... I didn't expect such a fate to exist.Meeting these people by myself may also be regarded as the guidance of fate.Nami said, "Tell me about your brother."
"He was taken by the empire in Yasikot... At that time, he shouldn't be considered an official knight. But he has always aimed at that." After all, he was quite young at that time.As Ace spoke, he found that Nami was leading him away. He wanted to say that it would be nice to wait, but...
never mind.If you wait now, you still can't talk to her alone.
"Is there something you want to tell Youxiang?"
"Huh?" Ace lost his mind for a moment, and Nami saw it.
"If you keep waiting like this, you will never be able to wait for the most suitable opportunity!" Nami said, "Just tell her loudly. She is a good child and will not blame you."
"No, that... It's a bit loud to say that kind of thing..." Ace thought for a moment, and he said, "But you have a point. I'll go to her directly after that. Even if Luo uses that on me I won't give up on ROOM or anything like that."
"That's right! I like you! Brother!"
"Brother is still a strange name...why?"
"I don't know. But it's very easy to say. But, let's call Yamato to join us!" Nami remembered this, and she said, "I promised Tela Nan to help him get you away!"
"...Why did you promise him that kind of thing??"
"He pays for me, and I assist him. This is a fair deal!" Nami said that she was very reasonable, "If you don't work hard, you will lose to him! Brother!"
"Thank you so much for reminding me!"
--------------------
The author has something to say:
I still haven't written about Gouzi... because I was so happy to write about Ace being stupid, Matthew recorded all these things, and when he remembered them later, he would replay them non-stop!
Mention settings that may have been forgotten:
The Straw Hats are all called by walking and flying, Guan Youxiang is called Xiangxiang, Ace is called Big Brother, Sabo is called Second Brother, Luo is called Tela Nan... That's why Nami thinks that Big Brother is easy to pronounce, because she has always called it that way before (Calling) Ace's!
