Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Chapter 163 Acting Bravely

Escher had been looking down on Archie, but when they arrived at the smelting site, Archie and Cheng Yan were about to try to smelt the ore, but were driven out by Escher with just two words.

Archie clenched his fists and looked at Escher's nonchalant back with a fierce expression.

"He actually treated us like slaves and ordered us around!"

If he hadn't been afraid of embarrassing Niwa, he would have fought back long ago.

An old man who is disrespectful to his elders!

Cheng Yan comforted him, "It's okay, it's just right that we are not needed, let's go for a walk on the street."

When he turned around, he inadvertently met Escher's eyes.

Cheng Yan had a calm expression and nodded slightly at him.

Escher did not respond. He turned back expressionlessly and continued talking to Niwa.

Archie pursed his lips, a little unhappy, "You have been looking at him since just now."

Cheng Yan came back to his senses, "I think he looks familiar, like someone I know."

Aqi's expression changed instantly, "Your sweetheart, isn't that type?"

Before Cheng Yan could answer, he was grabbed by the collar and shaken.

"Absolutely not! What's so good about an old man like that? He was glaring at me just now."

Cheng Yan held his hand and said, "No, I am obsessed with looks. Don't worry, my sweetheart is the most beautiful in the world."

Archie still couldn't completely let go of his worry. He didn't want his good friend, who was as beautiful as a flower, to be stuck in cow dung.

Cheng Yan looked at his tense smiling face and laughed for a moment.

"Don't worry about me. I'll take you to meet the person I like in the future and I promise to dazzle you."

The two walked side by side towards Inazuma City. The dish made of seaweed that they ordered in the inn in the city last time was very light and refreshing. Cheng Yan was a little hungry and decided to go eat it again.

The person next to him still had a pout and looked unhappy, so Cheng Yan poked him with his elbow.

"Forget about it, let's go eat."

Archie squeezed his arm, "I was wondering what would happen if your sweetheart and I didn't get along."

Cheng Yan blinked. He had indeed never thought about this question.

"Don't worry, I will definitely stand by your side when the time comes."

"Really?" Archie looked up at him, his eyes filled with an eagerness to confirm this statement.

Cheng Yan ruffled his hair, "Really, I will introduce you to all my sweethearts."

Archie pinched his chin, feeling delighted by Cheng Yan's affirmative response, and didn't realize that there was anything wrong with the phrase "all my sweethearts".

"Come on, let's go eat. I want to have that snack again."

[Drop——The target person’s heartbreak level is -5, the current heartbreak level is 25]

Inazuma Town is already very lively in the morning, with all kinds of roadside stalls full of the atmosphere of life.

Cheng Yan and Aqi were walking towards the inn they had stayed at last time when there was suddenly a commotion ahead.

"How dare you! This is an item used in the shrine's rituals! If you put it down immediately, I will forgive you for your disrespect!"

The sound of disorderly footsteps was heard and the crowd gradually dispersed, revealing the robber who was fleeing in panic.

The robber held a dagger in his hand and waved it around, scaring away the people around him who wanted to step forward to stop him.

"stop!"

The woman in the red and white shrine maiden costume caught up with him with a cold look on her face, even though her wooden clogs did not slow her down at all.

The robber looked back and was so frightened that his escape was interrupted and he bumped into Cheng Yan who appeared in the middle of the road.

The robber yelled in frustration, "Get lost!"

When he looked up and saw Cheng Yan's cold face, he became even more angry and his face turned red. "If you don't want to die, get out of here, you pretty boy!"

He tried to hit Cheng Yan in the face with the dagger viciously, but his wrist was easily strangled.

Cheng Yan swept his body and twisted his arms behind his back, causing the dagger to fall to the ground.

Aqi raised his foot and kicked the dagger further away, looking at Cheng Yan with disapproval.

"You just block it with your body."

Cheng Yan smiled guiltily and looked at the cold-faced woman who came hurriedly.

"Thank you both for your help. I am Kujo Mao, a shrine maiden from Narugami Taisha Shrine."

The robber in his hand stared at Kujo Mao, showing no fear of being caught.

"Humph, you'd better get him to let me go, or forget about getting that damn sacrificial item!"

The witch's face was cold enough to freeze. Thinking of the fragility of the magatama, she was temporarily constrained by the robber's words.

Cheng Yan turned his wrist, revealing two pieces of pure white jade in his palm.

"Is it this one?"

The robber, who seemed to have grasped the witch's lifeline with confidence, was suddenly dumbfounded and stared at Cheng Yan in disbelief.

"you!"

He reached out to check the magatama hidden on his body, but was restrained by Cheng Yan and could not move.

"hateful."

Cheng Yan looked at his funny appearance, leaned close to his ear, chuckled and said, "Seven Moras in a purse embroidered with gold thread, where did you steal it from? Why don't you tell me, so that I can rob the rich and help the poor?"

The robber's face turned from blue to red and then to white. "You...you, you damn pretty boy."

Cheng Yan kept smiling and handed the two jades to the witch.

The miko took it with a long sigh and said, "I don't know how to thank you. Please move to the shrine. You have found the magatama intact, and you should be treated as a guest of honor in the shrine."

Kujo Mao's eyes were sincere, and if you looked closely, you could tell that her gaze towards Cheng Yan was a little vague, as if she didn't dare to look directly at Cheng Yan.

"No, we still have to go to dinner. Why don't we talk about where to take him?"

Cheng Yan nodded at the robber and used some force with his hands, making the robber grimace in pain.

Kujo Mao bowed and said, "The shogunate will send someone to take him away and deal with him soon. Leave this to me."

Cheng Yan looked at her thin arms and legs, then turned to ask Aqi, "Let's wait a little longer until this guy is taken away."

As soon as Aqi nodded, he saw Cheng Yan moving closer to him, straightening his back.

"what?"

"I'm hungry. Take the Mora I have and go buy some food over there. It smells so good."

Archie snorted, "Can't being brave and righteous earn you a living?"

While speaking, he was still blaming Cheng Yan for rushing out regardless of the danger.

Although he blamed her, Archie had already got Mora in his hand and looked towards the street.

"Which one do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat them all."

After giving Cheng Yan a glance, Aqi walked up to buy it, leaving Cheng Yan and Kujo Mao where they were.

The cold man's earlobes turned red, "Sorry for wasting your time."

Cheng Yan shook his head and gave a provocative smile to the robber with his eyes wide open.

"It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart."
