"Yeah," Goto nodded, "I feel more like someone who was forced in. I don't think any of my relatives are around in this era..."

Hong Xia said: "There's nothing wrong with it. Although I have relatives, I don't feel any family affection."

"My father was a warmongerer. Although my mother was very kind to me, our ideas were totally different."

"As for Xingge, she seems to have some ambitions. She is unwilling to be a princess without real power just because she is a girl... But I am not interested in that either."

"Only after meeting you did I feel that I really saw hope in life."

Goto felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Come to my house." Hong Xia held Goto's hand without hesitation, "You are a hero who saved the princess' life, and you are a powerful demon hunter. No country will reject such a person!"

Chapter 168 Give loneliness a little shock

"Really?" Goto asked unsurely.

"Of course!"

Hongxia gave an affirmative answer, then leaned close to Goto's ear and said seriously: "Pochi-chan, you are the only one left in this world who can understand me."

"Please, don't leave me alone anymore, okay?"

"Even after more than ten years, I still don't have any friends. The reason is that there is no one who shares the same ideas as me."

"This feeling of loneliness is so terrible. You don't know how happy I was when I saw you..."

Goto could understand.

If she were placed in such an unfamiliar environment and had to face unkind parents and sister every day, she might not be able to hold on for more than a decade and would be driven crazy by her own mental exhaustion.

"Hongxia...don't worry." Goto said, "It was you who brought me out of the lonely world in the beginning, and I certainly won't reject you now!"

Hongxia let out a youthful laugh and hugged her arms again.

"Then let's go, just like I took you to STARRY, I'll take you home!" she said.

"Yeah." Goto nodded, but he was confused. "That being said... Is your house far away? How can we get there?"

"If we have to walk, it will probably take about two days."

"Eh?"

"But it won't take that long if you take a carriage. A few hours will be enough."

"But, but your driver has already..."

"It's okay, I'll drive!"

Goto was stunned.

Her first reaction was to ask, "Do you have a driver's license?"

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong, so he asked, "Hongxia, can you... drive a carriage?"

Hong Xia smiled and said, "Yes, hehe, I learned it secretly."

"Even if my parents don't let me do it, I can find someone privately when they can't see me."

"I know some drummers and coachmen. If Her Royal Highness asks them to teach me, they can't refuse, right?"

"As expected of you... Nijiga." Goto sighed, "I definitely can't do that."

Hong Xia shook her head and said, "I don't know if Pochi-chan can do it, but Pochi-chan also has her own strengths. Maybe she can solve it in a completely different way~"

After saying that, she trotted to the driving seat of the carriage. She was so agile even in a kimono, it seemed that she had done this many times.

Fortunately, these horses have been professionally trained, so even though things were so chaotic just now, they were not too frightened.

"Pochi-chan, why are you still standing there?" Hongxia grabbed the reins with one hand and waved with the other, "Hurry up and get in the car!"

"I, I was just wondering... am I being driven by a noble princess of a country?" Goto whispered.

Hong Xia did not refute, but said jokingly: "That's right, there are not many opportunities like this, why don't you come up and experience it?"

After all, she has been a princess for more than ten years and has long been accustomed to this identity.

But Pochi-chan still needs to get used to it.

She picked up Bochita and tried to get on the back seat of the carriage, but she couldn't do it for a long time.

Because it’s too high…

In the end, it was Hongxia who pulled her up and she was able to climb up successfully.

It seems that what I need to get used to is not just Hong Xia’s identity. I may need to consult her on many things in the future.

"Hold on tight, yo, drive~"

Although there were corpses of guards everywhere, Hong Xia seemed to be in a good mood, and the energy in her tone almost overflowed.

One reason was because I met Pochi-chan, and the other was probably because I saw her a lot in these war-torn times.

The carriage started moving and rushed towards the distance.

……

When the carriage drove into the city, almost everyone was watching.

That was natural. After all, Hong Xia was driving the carriage outside so openly. Normally, she should sit in the carriage.

It seemed that some warriors had already seen it, so they went back to report it in advance.

Hongxia parked the carriage in front of the door of a large mansion, then stopped and went to the carriage to pick up Pochi-chan.

"Miss Hongxia...your father is calling you to the lobby." said a servant.

"Oh, I see. I see."

Hongxia waved her hand impatiently, then took Goto's hand and said, "Come with me... Well, father might say something unpleasant, so don't rush into it."

"Well, no." Goto shook his head quickly, "I'm not the kind of person who would get into a fight if I don't agree with you..."

"What about hitting someone with a guitar?"

"So... that was an accident. I didn't do it."

Hongxia smiled.

Recalling modern events seemed to make her feel better.

After all, I haven't been able to talk about this with anyone in the past decade or so.

The two of them walked hand in hand into the depths of the mansion.

All the way to the lobby, the space is quite large, with two rows of people sitting on both sides. The person kneeling on the highest cushion in the middle must be Hongxia's father.

Or he can be called the daimyo "Ichichi clan".

"Hongxia, I heard that you came back by yourself in the carriage?" Yidizhi asked, "Who is this person, and why is he wearing such strange clothes?"

Although she was lively in front of Goto, Hongxia still had to adopt a slightly humble attitude when facing this serious father.

She recounted what had happened.

"I see... You were attacked? I should have arranged more guards for you. I was negligent."

Ijichi said, looking at Goto.

"You saved my daughter Hongxia, right? Miss Demon Hunter."

Goto shuddered and said respectfully, "Um...reply to Lord Ichichi, my name is Goto Ichiri."

Ichichi waved his hand.

"You demon hunters are all beings that are superior to ordinary people. I cannot bear such respect from you. Just call me by my last name."

"I heard that you are planning to settle down in my city, is that right?"

"Well, yes." Goto said nervously, "You don't mind, do you?"

Ijichi nodded and said, "Of course I don't mind. In fact, I welcome it very much."

"Powerful demon hunters are one of the foundations of a country's existence. Otherwise, even if there are a lot of troops and resources, once a demon appears, it will all be in vain."

"I'll have someone arrange accommodation for you right now—"

"Father, that's not necessary." Hongxia suddenly interrupted, then moved closer to Goto and took her arm, "Can Miss Goto live with me?"

"Uh... Hongxia, what do you mean?"

"Father, I like her."

When Hong Xia said this, the whole hall fell silent.

Give them a little modern vibe.

"Rainbow Rainbow Rainbow Xia?!" Goto exclaimed.

It seems that a modern person was also frightened.

Chapter 169 Loneliness and She Are One Family

"You, what did you say?!"

Hongxia's words frightened Ijichi so much that he stood up.

The ministers on both sides were also whispering, looking at Hongxia and Goto with eyes that were as weird as they could be.

"Father...I said, I like her." Hongxia repeated it again.

Goto said: "Wait a minute, Nijixia, I——"

Hongxia stretched out a finger and pressed it against Goto's lips, preventing her from speaking any further.

"I'll explain it to you later, okay?"

"Well……"

Seeing Hongxia's firm attitude, Goto had no choice but to keep silent for the time being.

Ichichi, who was above the lobby, paced back and forth for several circles, rubbed his head, and finally asked in confusion: "Hongxia, what do you mean?"

"I have asked you countless times before whether you have any plans to get married. You said no, so I respected you."

"I've shown you so many princes and generals from other countries, but you didn't like any of them... Why are you suddenly doing this to me today?!"

Hongxia held Goto's arm tightly and said, "If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it."

"Father, I really didn't have any plans to get married before, but now I've finally met someone worthy of my trust, and things are different now."

"Ms. Goto is like a hero to me. I can boldly admit that I am obsessed with her."

"Father, can you please fulfill your daughter's little wish? I rarely ask you for anything..."

When they formed a band in the modern era, Goto was Hongxia's guitar hero.

Even though times have changed, the identity of this "hero" seems to have remained unchanged.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ichichi said angrily, "You and she are both girls!"

"Even so, I still like her." Hong Xia said again.

"You, you...ah, you have always been a good daughter, why do you have to make me angry like this today?!"

Ijichi knelt back on the mat and rubbed his temples with a headache.

For a moment, the hall was eerily quiet. The ministers did not dare to speak, and Goto did not dare to say a word. He even wanted to hide behind Hongxia.

Ijichi's eyes swept over Goto's face.

He frowned and seemed distressed.

However, after a few seconds, the frown seemed to slowly relax.

Then, there seemed to be a hint of relief and satisfaction, and the look he gave Goto became even kinder.

"Well, well... OK, OK." He suddenly said, "Hongxia, I promise you."

"Great, thank you Dad!" Hongxia's voice was quite excited.

Ijichi's change of mind was also simple.

At first, I thought, how can women get married?
