Chapter 118 Fruitless Love
Chapter 118 Fruitless Love
......
The player's perspective naturally follows Ying. 886 watched with great anticipation as the eldest daughter of the Hiiragi family made a date with Ying, but...
"No, you asked me to come here just to deliver a letter? This is a lie!"
“It can be seen that there is a real shortage of couriers on the outlying islands.”
"I can't hold it any longer. Do I have to deliver this letter?"
"709 letters...it will take forever to deliver them all."
......
When Xines came to the two of them with Paimon in his arms, he happened to hear the eldest daughter of the Hiiragi family say,
"If you can deliver the letter to Narugami Island for me, to Mr. Kamajiro, the second young master of the Tenryo Bugyo, I will do my best to help you leave here."
Hines casually took out three island-leaving permits from his bag and fanned them in front of her as if he didn't mean to.
"I didn't expect this gentleman to actually make my father change his mind, but I have intelligence here. I know who is preventing you from leaving the island. How about using this as a reward?"
Miss Hiiragi changed her conditions immediately without changing her expression, and waited quietly for the three people's answers.
Ying glanced at Xines and found that he was still in the same attitude of "whatever you want, I will do it", so he made a decision.
"Nice chip, we agreed."
After getting Ying's promise, she felt relieved.
"What I understand is that my father had a conversation with a very arrogant woman a few days ago..."
"...They seemed to be discussing how to confine foreign travelers to remote islands. This is the first time I've seen my father show such respect to someone other than the general."
When Miss Hiiragi said this, she looked at Hines strangely. She couldn't understand what method this man used to make her father hand over these island departure documents.
"Do you remember what your father called that man?"
Hines wanted more information than such vague intelligence.
"He seemed to call her something like 'Ms.', but I didn't hear who it was."
Ying: Well, you certainly couldn’t hear your father call her Madam, because that person’s code name was Madam.
At this point, even Paimon knew who that person was.
"It's actually a lady! Is she here at Inazuma too?"
Ying nodded at Paimon, thinking, it seems the Fatui have also set their sights on Thor's Heart, but why is it always the lady who's running around? What about the other executive officers?
After Miss Hiiragi finished sharing the information, she no longer cared about the matter. She briefly explained the next action plan and then set off for the checkpoint.
Ying and Shines naturally had to follow her, as her identity as the eldest daughter of the Hiiragi family could save them a lot of trouble.
When they arrived at the checkpoint, two samurai were about to transport the goods away, and Miss Hiiragi quickly stopped them.
"Miss? You, why are you here?!"
"Wait a moment, this batch of goods is going to be sent to Haiqi Island?"
The bewildered man in front of him quickly answered Miss Hiiragi's question.
"You're right. The Kanjo Bugyo-sama specifically instructed that this shipment of goods must be delivered to Haiqi Island intact. I wonder what the young lady meant by that...?"
Hines had some impression of this man, of course, it was the impression he had in the game in his previous life. He seemed to be called Shinnojo.
"That's right. My father was worried and asked me to bring these two experts with me to escort the shipment."
Miss Hiiragi's answer obviously did not gain the trust of the two warriors. The other warrior who had been silent all this time focused his attention on Shines and his group.
"It's better not to bother Miss with the escort herself, and the identities of these people...ah?"
The warrior looked at the three island departure documents handed to him by Xines with a confused look on his face.
Master Fengxing, didn't you tell us to strictly guard the island and prevent the travelers from leaving? Why did you issue them the island departure permits yourself?
If the warrior knew this sentence, he would definitely say it: Why is Your Majesty rebelling?
With the document signed by the magistrate himself, the two samurai escorting the goods did not dare to say anything more. Shinnojo looked at Miss Hiiragi,
"Well, miss, I'm very lucky to be traveling with you. I will definitely protect you at all costs!"
"Alright, alright, since there's no problem, let's get going. Are you dawdling to give the thieves a chance?"
......
"Have you noticed that this Shinnojo has been looking at Miss Hiiragi?"
"I can see that too. This guy definitely likes me!"
"But doesn't Miss Hiiragi like the second son of the Tenryo Fuxing family?"
"Alas, poor Shinnojo."
......
As expected, an accident happened. A group of treasure thieves who got the news from somewhere rushed out from the roadside, intending to make a fortune.
Unfortunately, they made the wrong choice.
"Miss, please step back and let us do it!"
Shinnojo stood in front of Miss Hiiragi, but Ying was faster and defeated the unfortunate treasure thieves in just a few moves.
Paimon kept exclaiming as she watched the newly emerged enemies. She didn't understand why so many forces were eyeing this batch of goods.
"Why are there still QQ people? Who is that enemy with the knife?"
"If I remember correctly, they are Kairanki."
At this time, the number of enemies was too large, and Hines had no way to slack off. He picked up his weapon and shuttled through the crowd. His strong physical fitness laid the foundation for his victory.
There were many bumps along the way, and the enemies came in waves, but fortunately, thanks to the presence of Xines and Ying, the goods...
"Woohoo! Why is this batch smoking?"
Paimon looked at the black smoke rising from the hot air balloon carrying the cargo and took a few steps back in fear.
Shinnojo asked Miss Hiiragi to stay away from the truck and then went to check the goods himself.
"Fortunately, the cargo wasn't lost, only the hot air balloon was damaged. We just need to rest in the village ahead..."
"...Miss, are you feeling alright?"
Unfortunately, Miss Hiiragi's eyes were not fixed on him. She looked at Ying and said,
"That's all we need to do. Over there is the road to Narukami Island. Please be sure to deliver this letter to Kamajiro for me. Thank you for your help!"
"Miss..."
Shinnojo felt a little sad when he heard the word 'Kamaji' from Miss Hiiragi's mouth.
Kamajima, you're talking about the second son of the Tenryo Fukyo family, right? If that's him, he's definitely more suitable than me...
Miss...I'm not willing to accept this...
The samurai beside him walked up to Shinnojo and whispered,
"Oh, I guessed it would be like this, Shinnojo..."
Shinnojo ignored his companions and asked Miss Hiiragi,
"Who is this Kamajima you are talking about, Miss?"
"To be frank, he is my sweetheart."
"Sweetheart..."
Hines witnessed the change in the man's demeanor; his unwillingness and loneliness were hidden beneath his smile.
It cannot be said that Miss Hiiragi is completely unaware of Shinnojo's love, but she is unwilling to face it. After all, she has someone she likes and cannot respond to his feelings. She turns away and does not look at Shinnojo's face.
"Be careful on your journey, we'll meet again someday."
Miss Hiiragi waved goodbye and returned to the island. Since all the dangers on the road had been cleared, there was no danger for her to go back alone.
"Let's go, don't just stand there, continue transporting the goods."
Shinnojo sighed as he watched Miss Hiiragi walking away, and continued to transport goods with his companions, but the direction they were going was completely opposite to that of Miss Hiiragi.
