Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 125: The Duo of Directionally Challenged (Sixth Update, Please Subscribe!)

Kozuki Hiyori's face showed a hint of urgency, wanting to advise but not knowing how to persuade this man.

They were rushing towards the farm.

"What should we do?" Kozuki Hiyori was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Although she casually mentioned that there were ingredients here, she didn't actually intend for Zaraki Kenpachi to come here and get anything—ah!

With your strength, instead of coming here to confront the general and Kaido head-on, why not just rob someone else?

There are plenty of unscrupulous wealthy landowners in the city. Can't we target them?

Why provoke Kaido and the general?

Kozuki Hiyori became increasingly anxious, but didn't know how to broach the subject.

In fact, she had already mentioned the reasons for her appeal more than once, but Kenpachi's response was...

"You said they're strong?"

"Yes, so we absolutely must not provoke them."

"That's great! I was just looking for someone stronger than that so-called 'True Strike.' It wouldn't be interesting if they were too weak!"

Hmm, he became even more excited.

So he quickly made a decision—to go to the farm and see if they would come out after a while.

If they didn't...

Then we'll take the initiative to attack!

Hmm, Zaraki Kenpachi never lacked the subjective initiative to pursue battle!

"What should we do now?" Kozuki Hiyori forced a bitter smile, but could only lie on Zaraki Kenpachi's back and sigh helplessly.

Hmm, now she was lying on Zaraki Kenpachi's back because... he found her too slow and thought it would delay the fight.

So he followed her suggestion subconsciously.

JA...

As a samurai, wouldn't it be undignified to have someone lying on top of you?

Especially a girl like herself...

But...

With his spacious back and agile body, even if his pace was extremely fast, not a single gust of wind would touch her.

Unknowingly, she felt a sense of security...

"Where should we go next?" Zaraki Kenpachi asked while running.

"Ah? Let me see..." Kozuki Hiyori emerged from behind and looked around, pointing to one side. "Turn left at the fork."

"Oh."

Zaraki Kenpachi responded and continued running.

Thirty minutes later...

The two of them looked at the cliff in front of them, completely dumbfounded.

"Hey, how did you give directions?" Zaraki Kenpachi sighed.

"That's strange, it shouldn't be like this." Kozuki Hiyori looked confused. She didn't intend to give the wrong direction; she was genuinely leading the way.

After all, even if she didn't lead, others knew the location of the farm, so they would just take a detour.

B...

Why is there a cliff ahead now?

Kozuki Hiyori was completely bewildered.

"What should we do next?" Zaraki Kenpachi asked.

"Um... let's retreat and go right at the previous intersection. Yes, it should be to the right!" Kozuki Hiyori hesitated for a moment, then confidently said.

Zaraki Kenpachi casually replied, "Is that so?" and continued running.

Twenty minutes later...

The two of them stood there dumbfounded, looking at the familiar cliff in front of them.

What on earth is going on?

Kozuki Hiyori looked puzzled. She had just heard Zaraki Kenpachi say that he had a poor sense of direction and was not good at perception.

But she didn't have these problems!

"At the second intersection just now, we should have gone straight!" Kozuki Hiyori took a deep breath and said seriously, "This time, I'm sure we're right!"

Forty minutes later...

The two of them looked at the familiar cliff and fell into silence.

After a moment of silence...

"Damn it, let's just go with my intuition!" Zaraki Kenpachi said with an unchanged expression.

"Yeah, let's go!" Kozuki Hiyori wiped the sweat from her forehead.

After several times of pointing in the wrong direction, she dared not lead the way anymore.

If this were during the war, leading the army in the wrong direction would have meant being executed!

"It's strange, why suddenly do I not recognize the way? My sense of direction isn't that bad, right?" Kozuki Hiyori wondered in her heart.

So, from then on, Kenpachi took the lead.

FFLX...

The next morning, the two finally arrived at the farm.

"We actually ran for a whole day..."

Kozuki Hiyori's mouth twitched as she looked at the familiar scenery, almost feeling tears welling up.

They ran for a whole day!

...Flowers please...

They asked the people around them at least thirty times, and in the end, they accidentally took a turn and found the farm.

"Kenpachi was running so fast, I could see the scenery on both sides flying by even when I was behind him..." Kozuki Hiyori forced a bitter smile. "If we calculate based on the distance alone, we should have circled Wanokuni several times by now."

"That's really..."

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

In reality, Zhao Xu was not really bad with directions, and Kozuki Hiyori was not directionally challenged either.

But Zhao Xu was an actor, so he immediately acted like he was bad with directions.

Kozuki Hiyori was not a fool, she knew the way, so...

Zhao Xu used illusions to interfere with her sense of direction and vision.

It wasn't that he didn't try his best to lead the way, but there was a spy nearby.

"Very well, it looks like you'll be able to have lunch soon." Zaraki Kenpachi said calmly, his voice as hoarse as ever.

"Are you sure it's not breakfast? Or maybe the next day's..." Kozuki Hiyori's mouth twitched.

"Mm, it seems so." Zaraki Kenpachi's mouth revealed a hint of madness. "But it doesn't matter, there should be strong fighters in the farm."

"After all, from what you guys have said, this place seems important..."

"There should be a real fight." Kozuki Hiyori hesitated.

Zaraki Kenpachi laughed heartily, excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Wanokuni, the Flower Capital.

This is the capital city of General Kurozumi Orochi and the most prosperous place in Wanokuni.

Or rather, it may be the only place still thriving...

At this moment, the phone in the Shogun's castle suddenly rang.

Although Wanokuni did not have telephones like the outside world, they had intelligent snails, a tool similar to telephones.

"Hmm?" Shogun Kurozumi Orochi frowned and answered the phone.

Initially absent-minded, he suddenly stood up and his face changed drastically after listening to the voice on the phone for only three seconds. He looked gloomy.

"What did you say?!"

"My farm has been occupied? The real fighter Babanuki left by Kaido was killed?"

"Are you sure you're not telling a joke? We don't have April Fool's Day in Wanokuni!"

...J..
