Chapter 333: Setting off for an expedition
The next afternoon...
Ichito Arataki and others sat in the shop, eating ramen, patiently waiting for someone to come.
"Hello everyone, I hope I didn't keep you waiting for long."
Qi Liangliang walked forward with a small bag on her back and a sunny and cheerful smile on her face.
"Congratulations on not being late. This is a very good habit. Applause!" Aratake Ichito clapped his hands.
"But then again, Brother Yidou will never have this good habit." Lei Hu joked.
"Pfft..." Qi Liangliang couldn't help but laugh.
Arata Ichito rolled his eyes, "How can you talk like that? I'm the first one here today."
"But the problem is that it was Wan Ye and I who woke you up. Otherwise, Brother Yidou, do you think you would oversleep?" Lei Hu asked back.
Arata Ichito looked thoughtful, "Hiss, it's really possible."
"Oh, everyone is here." Shikanoin Heizo smiled and waved as he walked forward.
"Brother Heizo is here just in time." Arata Ichito teased, and pointed at the bowl below, "Are you hungry? Do you need another bowl of noodles?"
"No need for this, I've already eaten at home."
Qi Liangliang also nodded vigorously, "Yes, I've finished eating too."
"Okay, then you're the only one left, Leihu. Don't waste everyone's time." Arawaki Ichito patted Tokugawa Leihu on the back, causing the latter to cough.
"I know. Don't rush me. Do you think everyone can finish the noodles in just a few bites like you?"
Lei Hu sped up to finish the food in front of him.
Tread...tap...tread...
Arataki Ichito's keen hearing instantly caught the sound of footsteps nearby.
That rhythm and sound...no way?
Arataki Ichito turned around with uncertainty, and the next second he saw Kujo Sara appear in front of him with an expressionless face.
The first second I saw him, I teased him before my thoughts could stop me.
"Oh~ Aren't you too busy to come? Aren't you sorry you can't keep me company? How could Tengu be so kind as to come and visit~"
Several blue veins popped out on Kujo Sara's forehead, and his eyes were staring at Arakaki Ichido with sharpness and focus.
Everyone present shuddered and covered Aratake Ichito's mouth with their hands.
"My ancestors, please don't say that." Lei Hu pleaded in a low voice, almost kneeling down.
"Ichito, have you always been so hated?" asked Heizo Kaneko.
On the other side, Kujo Sara was constantly thinking about last night's conversation.
[Ahem, Saro, ever since you became the general of the shogunate army, you have been working diligently and wholeheartedly. Thank you for your hard work.] (The head of the family)
[Master, you are too kind. I am just doing my job and helping the general with some chores. How can I talk about whether it is hard work or not?] (Sara)
[Haha, that's what you said, but your achievements over the years are not fake, so there's no need to be modest.] (Homeowner)
[Master, what do you want to say? 】(Sara)
[It's nothing. I just saw that you were too tired and wanted to give you a few days off.] (Homeowner)
[Master, please forgive me for being blunt. Let’s not talk about my hard work. Now that the war with Kaijima is about to start, and the Fatui have also come to Inazuma at this time, how can I, as the general of the shogunate, be absent at such a critical moment?] (Sara)
[Hey, Haizhi Island is just a bunch of small soldiers and crab generals, not worth mentioning. Facing our army and warships, I'm afraid they will flee in fear, so it's not a big deal.
As for the Fatui, humph, their army and equipment are indeed extremely powerful, but this is Inazuma, with the General in charge, under the General's nose, how dare that group of clowns act rashly! 】(The head of the family)
[Master, do not underestimate the enemy...] (Sara)
[Okay, we don't need to talk about this anymore. Let's talk about you first. I know you have a heavy workload these days. If you weren't tired, why would you look weird and act strangely these days?] (Homeowner)
【………】(Sara)
[This is settled. I will send someone to handle the follow-up work. Sala, take a good rest these few days. This is for your own good. After all, you will go to war as the general of the shogunate, so you must not look tired. 】(The head of the family)
[Well... OK, I'll go back to my master and have a good rest.] (Sara)
[Haha, OK, then I won't bother you anymore, go to bed early.] (Sara)
……
Back to the present, Kujo Sara sneered, feeling that coming here today was simply asking for trouble.
"Hmph... If you don't welcome me, I'll just leave."
"Hey! Don't worry, don't worry!" Aratake Ichito pushed everyone aside and came to Kujo Sara in two or three steps. "How can I not welcome you? With your joining, Tengu, the safety of our team is completely guaranteed. It's like a fish in water, like a tiger with wings."
Kujo Sara immediately grasped the point, "So you mean that I have to deal with the dangers encountered on the road by myself?"
Arata Ichito raised his hands, "How is that possible? I will definitely help."
"That's good enough." Kujo Sara nodded with satisfaction.
"It's just... I have a question I hope you can answer." Aratake Ichito whispered.
"Brother Yidou, you don't have to lower your voice, we can hear you." Lei Hu shouted.
Arata Ichito immediately turned around and shouted angrily, "Leihu! Shut up!"
There was no joy or sadness in Kujo Sara's eyes. "There's nothing to be ashamed of. The reason I came here is because I have a day off."
"Holiday? Your master told you?" Arawaki Ichito blurted out.
Although Kujo Sara didn't say anything, judging from her slightly stunned expression, she was clearly confessing.
"You...how do you know?"
Arata Ichito smiled, put his arms around her neck, pointed at her face and teased everyone, "Look, is there "Politics" written on Tengu's left cheek, and "Xiaobai" written on his right cheek? Do they look like... uh huh?"
Kujo Sara expressionlessly hit Aratake Ichito's stomach and said calmly, "Next time when you speak, don't use ambiguous words, and don't do anything that harasses women, understand?"
Arata Ichito rubbed his belly and raised his head, "Is this considered harassment of women? Tengu, if you're angry, just say it directly, don't always put the blame on others, okay?"
"Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying?" Kujo Sara said directly, "I don't want to listen, I don't understand, and I don't want to listen," which left Arawaki Ito speechless.
He sat back in his chair and clapped his hands, "Okay, let's forget about the unpleasant conversation we just had."
After he finished speaking, he paused, as if he was in an awkward situation where he wanted to change the subject but had nothing to say.
Three seconds later, he coughed twice, "Ahem, well, there's nothing I want to say. Everyone has gathered, and we'll set off soon."
"Okay~" Several people shouted out slogans in unison.
Otsutsuki Ichiraku wiped the sweat from his forehead and watched the scene with a smile.
What a group of young people full of youthful vigor.
