Team World Chapter Twenty-Seventh
“Acting?”
Amy Kigetsuki looked at Huangfu Ye strangely.
He actually said that Kutsugi Maru was acting?
Such a cold person, saying that to him, isn't it a bit much?
Kutsugi Maru's cold expression instantly disappeared. Like a middle-aged youth, he grinned and said, "You caught me, didn't you? Is my acting that bad?"
Amy Kigetsuki opened her mouth wide in astonishment, "This...what's going on?"
She originally thought Kutsugi Maru would be angry. This reaction completely exceeded her expectations!
Isn't this a cold swordsman?
Why is he suddenly so childish?
He was actually right about Huangfu Ye?
No way?!
“His coldness is all an act, it can’t hide his true nature as a goofball.” Huangfu Ye chuckled.
Suddenly, Kutsugi Maru knelt down in front of them, his forehead touching the ground, and said sincerely, "I beg you, please don't tell my master about this!"
“Master?”
Hearing these words, Amy Kigetsuki was stunned again.
Who is his master?
“Get up first.”
Huangfu Ye helped him up.
He couldn't bear to be prostrated to like this, it felt like a funeral.
He wanted to live a few more years.
“Thank you.” Kutsugi Maru expressed his gratitude and stood up, explaining, “One of your companions is astonishingly similar to my master, Iwaizumi Takeshi no Suke.”
“During the Warring States period, my master took in me, a nobody. However, when the Doko Dorate led the Army of the Dead, we fought together with Solin for the peace of the country.”
“The monsters cowardly abducted children, I wanted to go and rescue them, but the child was actually a fake made by the monsters. To save me, my master used his body to block the knife, I lived, but my master died.”
“Before he died, my master told me that kindness was my weakness. So I made up my mind to act distant and aloof with others.”
Hearing this, Amy Kigetsuki nodded, "So that's it, you were acting when you were talking to us earlier? You didn't really want to join us."
“Yes, but I really didn't have the face to become your companion directly, after all, I was once manipulated by evil and harmed innocent people.” Kutsugi Maru said apologetically.
Huangfu Ye said, “That’s not your fault, you are still you, the kindhearted you. Those who hurt innocent people were the Army of the Dead.”
“Thank you, I was wondering…“ Kutsugi Maru looked at them earnestly, asking, “Did I say something too harsh to them earlier? They won't be angry, will they?”
“No, they are not that petty. It's just, are you going to keep acting like this? Besides, Dagu isn't your real master.”
Kutsugi Maru looked at Huangfu Ye strangely, “You know who I'm talking about?”
He didn't even know the name of the person who looked like his master, how did this person know?
Did he slip up?
Huangfu Ye was stunned for a moment.
No way?
“Um, I noticed you looking at Dagu strangely earlier. I thought it must be him since he looks like your master.” Huangfu Ye said, evading the question.
“Night, do you have the ability to see the future?” Amy Kigetsuki seized the opportunity to say, “I feel like you can predict everything.”
Having been together for so long, she felt like everything was under his control. No matter what difficulties they encountered, he could always solve them.
Just now, she couldn't sense that Kutsugi Maru was acting.
Huangfu Ye couldn't help but smile.
Did she catch on?
Was he that obvious?
It didn't seem like it...
“Don’t think too much, I’m just good at observing.” Huangfu Ye continued to evade the question.
“Really?”
Although confused, Amy Kigetsuki didn't ask any further.
“Young man, you’re amazing!” Kutsugi Maru gave Huangfu Ye a thumbs up. Then, changing the subject, he said, “Please keep my affairs secret from others, I beg you.”
“Alright, since you want it this way, I won't say anything else.”
“I am grateful. I will help you in secret. Farewell, you two.”
Kutsugi Maru clasped his hands together in farewell and then turned to leave.
He had the air of an ancient swordsman.
......
Army of the Dead, underwater base, Icebound Castle.
The Hundred-Faced God, Chaos, touched three pillars. Three beams of light lit up, converging together to form a monster.
This monster was his direct knight, Cambrian Demon.
Chaos took out a human face armor. This armor belonged to Doko Dorate.
He went to the scene and picked up the armor.
He pressed the human face armor onto Cambrian Demon's face. A flash of light, and the furious cavalryman, Doko Dorate, appeared.
“I’m so angry! I was actually unsealed by Kutsugi Maru!”
As soon as he appeared, Doko Dorate wielded his great sword and swung it twice, directly blowing up two of the miscellaneous soldiers around him.
He was so angry that he even attacked his own people.
Chaos sighed, “Alas, although it’s a bit of a pity, it’s done. This shows that the power of the Beast Dragon is ultimately not ours to use.”
“It's all because of those damn Strong Dragon warriors! One day, I will kill them all!”
As he spoke, Doko Dorate looked at his hands, a bit displeased, “Lord Chaos, why did you give me the Cambrian Demon body? This body will decompose in less than a month.”
“What are you panicking for? We’ll just prepare a new Cambrian Demon when the time comes.” Chaos replied.
“Emmm...”
Doko Dorate was speechless.
He was used to Kutsugi Maru's strong body, now he had to use this garbage. He wasn't very satisfied.
