Kivotos, I was deeply shocked!

"So what are you waiting for?!"

The boss of [Alley Monsters] tugged at Si Wang's sleeve, speaking in an impatient tone, but she still subconsciously suppressed the sound that was amplified by her impatience, trying not to let the thugs of [Street Ghosts] around her hear it.

"Didn't you place a spy next to that arrogant Chamber of Commerce president?! Hurry up and call her out to turn the situation around!"

"what?"

Si Wang looked at the boss of [Alley Goblin] with a strange look. He was tugging at his sleeves, looking anxious, but in his anxiety, he also revealed a hint of anticipation. He asked in a puzzled tone, "When did I say that the traitor was used to deal with Nyanko Masamune?"

"???"

Because Si Wang’s answer was so shocking, the leader of [Alley Monsters] forgot to be angry for a moment.

She raised her head and looked at Si Wang blankly. In those eyes hidden behind the Black Tengu mask, there was nothing but confusion at this moment.

who am I? Where do I come from? Where do I go?

And what did you say?

"Have you two finished your last words? If you have, get ready to go!"

Looking at Si Wang's relaxed expression, even though his own number of people was already overwhelming, he couldn't figure out how the other side could turn the tables. Miaoda Masamune's heart was still beating like a drum, and he couldn't stop being uneasy. It seemed that he really missed some key information, and his ominous premonition became clearer and clearer.

No more delay!

Nyanita Masamune took a deep breath, shook off the inexplicable panic in his heart, and waved his right hand vigorously, "【Street Ghost】, come on!"

bang bang bang-

Just like the firecrackers going off at New Year's, dense explosions suddenly sounded from above the head, and bright flames exploded one after another along the patterns on the ceiling, lighting up a continuous orange-yellow fire line.

Bang!

Just when someone subconsciously looked up to see what was happening, the ceiling in the corridor suddenly lost its support and fell down in large pieces.

"What's going on?! What's going on?!"

A piece of aluminum gusset with a burnt edge slid down the tip of his nose, and he could even smell a whiff of burnt odor with residual heat. Masamune Nyanda shuddered and instantly got behind the thug next to him, shouting incoherently.

"Why did the ceiling suddenly collapse!?"

"Cough cough cough..."

A street demon thug pushed away the wooden board pressing on him, with a confused expression, "What's going on?!"

"You asked me—"

Another street demon hoodlum dodged the ceiling that fell on his head, avoided his panicking companions, and even found time to swat away the sparks that fell on his skirt. He said in a frantic tone, "Who should I ask?!"

"A ninja who aims to be the strongest in Kivotos and saves the real lord from danger..."

A black shadow fell from the ceiling and half-crouched in front of Si Wang, who was the only clean spot in the corridor.

"Hisada Izuna, come visit!"

"Izuna?!"

Nyankoda Masamune coughed out two clouds of black smoke and looked at Kuda Izuna who was protecting Si Wang in doubt, "Why did you come from the ceiling... No! Why are you standing in front of that guy?!"

He pointed at his nose and shouted, "I'm the one who paid to hire your employer!"

"Izuna heard everything."

Hisada Izuna subconsciously clenched the submachine gun in her hand, as if she wanted to gain some courage from her inseparable weapon. She opened her eyes and looked at the shocked and angry Nekoda Masamune without avoiding, and said seriously, "No matter what the employer said, or the teacher risked his life, you have to speak loudly in front of Izuna to encourage her dream!"

"..."

Nyankoda Masamune subconsciously took several steps back and hid himself behind several layers of gangsters.

But he knew how powerful the [Playing House Ninja] he always laughed at, ridiculed and despised was.

"Let's put aside whether it's true or not."

Si Wang did not take advantage of the rare opportunity when [Street Ghosts] were leaderless and asked Hisada Izuna to quickly capture Nyanko Masamune.

He just squatted down, picked up the scarlet scarf that Kuda Izumi had left on the ground, patted the dust off it, tied it around the girl's neck, pressed it firmly, and asked with a smile, "Have you figured it out? Don't feel sorry for yourself anymore!"

"Uh-huh!"

Hisada Izuna's fox ears trembled, and a blush overflowed from under her apron as her emotions became more and more agitated, spreading all over her cheeks. She grabbed the scarf that had just been tied around her neck, subconsciously held her breath, and subconsciously turned around slowly.

When the girl's trembling eyes met Si Wang's brown eyes, Si Wang saw slightly red eyes and tears shining brightly in them.

Si Wang blinked. It was difficult for him to find a suitable adjective to describe his mood at the moment.

"As long as there is a teacher who has been supporting Izuna's dream from the beginning, as long as there is a teacher who has been encouraging Izuna's dream from the beginning..."

Hisada Izuna's voice trembled slightly, just like the tears that kept rolling in her eyes, "Izuna, from now on! You will definitely be able to muster up your courage! Keep moving forward to pursue your dreams!"

...Izuna-san, your understanding seems to be different from what I expected...

Si Wang remained silent. He just smiled - as if he was agreeing with the girl's courage to confess her feelings - and rubbed the top of Hisata Izuna's head, sighing quietly in his heart.

Considering the context, the conclusion should not be that other people's opinions are insignificant. Even if it is the same person, when he is in a different time, place, and position, the same mouth can spit out different conclusions. So, isn't it important to stick to your own ideals?

But looking at Hisada Izuna's sparkling eyes, as if she had put all her courage into them, Si Wang really couldn't bring himself to say these words.

Forget it.

He rubbed Hisada Izuna's fox ears hard twice, making the girl giggle foolishly.

Anyway, other people’s opinions are insignificant. What to teach is up to the teacher, but what to learn is up to you.

Izuna-san, since that’s how you see it, then just see it that way.

Chapter 41 Si Wang: I’m about to start performing again

"Gu...are you going to betray me, Izuna?!"

Nyankoda Masamune looked at Hisata Izuna in disbelief, who was determined to swear an oath to Si Wang even though she was surrounded by enemies. Her face turned red and her neck became thick as if she was humiliated. "Open your eyes and look around you carefully! You actually betrayed me in such a situation and defected to the Alley Monster. Are you out of your mind?!

Nyanko Masamune took a deep breath. Rather than being angry about being betrayed, he was even more furious about being abandoned despite having an absolute advantage. "I'm giving you one more chance to choose! Think it over, you idiot!"

"Izuna is not an idiot! Izuna is...is...a ninja!"

It was like a quarrel between two children. Although she was not very confident, Kusada Izuna still shouted back at her even louder without hesitation, "Izuna will only fight for those who believe in Izuna's dream and for Izuna's lord!"

"Because this is the ninja way that Izuna firmly believes in!"

Hisada Izuna's voice became louder and louder, and she shouted harder and harder. By the end, the girl's voice had become extremely firm, without any sign of wavering.

Nyanita Masamune and the surrounding "Street Ghosts" thugs were stunned by Hisata Izuna's roar.

"Uh, well, let me interrupt."

Si Wang raised his hand, interrupting the shocking silence. He scratched his cheek with a puzzled expression, "How come I didn't know when I was suddenly transferred to become a [Lord]?"

"Teacher, no, lord!"

Just like an illusion, Hisada Izuna's roaring tiger-like figure instantly turned back into a timid little fox. The girl shyly swayed her eyes for a while, but finally mustered up the courage to look Si Wang in the eye.

Trying hard to suppress the embarrassment that made her want to run away, Hisada Izuna's face turned red, her fingers clasped tightly in her palms, but she still held her head high with a firm look, and the childish voice that was unique to a child could not at all conceal the solemnity in her words.

"My Lord! From now on, Izuna will serve you with all I have and fight alongside you!"

At this point, the girl who was half-kneeling on the ground took a deep breath and gave Si Wang an extremely brilliant smile, "Izuna swears on my life! Just bear with it!"

"Humph! You don't know what's good for you, and you're just talking nonsense!"

Before Si Wang could say anything, Nyankoda Masamune could no longer bear this job-hopping scene which could be regarded as a public execution.

At this moment, he only felt that the eyes of everyone around him were focused on him, flashing with sympathy, ridicule, irony, meaningfulness, and gloating...

The blood was boiling, the hands and feet were shaking, the face was flushed... all the emotions gathered together and finally merged into a hysterical roar, "【Street Demon】! Attack!"

"Okay, Boss. I've been waiting for you to say this~"

Si Wang's previous speech, coupled with the perfect timing of Hisata Izuna's appearance, was like an unexpected and wonderful drama in which he participated.

The [Street Demons] thugs, who had already had their fill of melons, showed satisfied expressions, took out the weapons hanging on their waists, and prepared to get down to business.

It was well worth the trip tonight!

"So you put on such a grand show with gunpowder, smoke, and heroic appearances just to tell me this, Izuna-san?"

Faced with the ill-intentioned [Street Ghosts] thugs slowly approaching from all sides, the boss of [Alley Goblins] was so nervous that he couldn't speak, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the hand holding the gun was shaking.

Si Wang didn't care. He even had the mood to chat with Hisada Izuna, who was also extremely nervous and kept swallowing her saliva. "I thought you could fight a hundred people, so you chose to land in front of me handsomely instead of taking this opportunity to catch Meow Tian... Meow Da Masamune and take him hostage to escape."

He flicked the girl's fox ears and laughed, "Why are your ears shaking with nervousness now?"

"My lord, please rest assured!"

Hisada Izuna glanced at the hooligans who were crowded around her. The girl swallowed her saliva again, and her fox ears subconsciously rubbed in the direction of Si Wang's finger, "Izuna will definitely protect the lord and bring him out safely!"

"Well, I don't doubt it. I believe it very much. However..."

Seeing the girl holding her weapon tightly, like an old hen, guarding her petite figure in front of him without giving an inch, Si Wang didn't know whether he should be touched or embarrassed at this moment.

Finally, he could only sigh helplessly, stretched out his hand to hold the girl's slightly trembling shoulders, and said with a smile, "However, the difficulty of tonight's exam is still a bit beyond the scope for Izuna-san, who is a Genin. When Izuna-san is promoted to Jonin one day, the teacher will definitely give you a chance to show your skills. As for today..."

Si Wang closed his eyes and through the vision shared by the surrounding [Scarabs], he did not see any abrupt people or objects except He and Shizuko who were leading the team towards this side with great momentum.

But what's this vague feeling of being watched?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Si Wang smiled at Kuda Izuna who looked back and said, "Let's leave it to the teacher."

"……Um!"

The feeling of depression disappeared in an instant, and the fox's ears, which had drooped, quickly stood up.

Don't be discouraged, Izuna!

Looking at the tall figure of her lord who took a step forward and stood in front of her, Hisada Izuna clenched her fists and tried to cheer herself up in her heart.

Izuna's dream has been recognized! The lord who is worth following for life has also been found!

All you need to do next is work hard, work hard, and work hard again!

Work hard to become your lord's capable ninja as soon as possible!

Hisada Izuna secretly swore that after tonight, she would immediately find a ninjutsu training class to study and strive to become a jonin in the shortest time possible to help her lord!

"Ahem, dear friends of Street Demons."

Si Wang cleared his throat, raised his hands, slowly pressed them down, and said with a smile, "Before you shoot your precious bullets, can you please listen to what I have to say for a moment?"

"..."

The little hooligans from [Street Ghosts] subconsciously stopped and looked at each other. They really wanted to hear what tricks this very capable adult could come up with to escape from the encirclement.

"Assholes! I am your employer!"

On the other side, Nyankoda Masamune was the exact opposite. He didn't want to hear another word from Si Wang, this bastard who spread rumors and misled the public, causing trouble again on things that could have ended smoothly.

He roared angrily, "Hurry up and do it."

"hehe."

Si Wang shook his head disapprovingly, "If what I said can double your salary... then are you willing to spend a little time to listen to it?"

Chapter 42: Nyanhada Masamune: THINK! THINK!!!

"Use your brains, you guys!"

The bad premonition was getting stronger and stronger. Nyanta Masamune could not control his inner panic. He hurriedly urged, "I am the one who pays you. How much do you earn? How could he double the credit points in your bank card just by opening his mouth? Use your brains!"

"..."

The hooligans from [Street Ghosts] looked at the furious Nyankoda Masamune, then at the smiling Si Wang, then at each other, and finally their eyes were all focused on the hooligans who had been kicked out of the line by them and who were speaking on their behalf.

Me again?!

The gangster who was being stared at by everyone pointed at his chin with a look of disbelief on his face.

Ah!

The hooligans watching nodded at the same time as if they were in sync.

Even if you want to cheat someone, you can't always cheat the same person! !

Even though he cursed in his heart, for the sake of the empty credit points in his bank card and for the dream of eating tonkotsu ramen every day next month, the gangster who was being stared at by his companions still gritted his teeth and approached Nyankoda Masamune with an awkward smile.

"That... this... Boss."

She smiled shamelessly, facing the angry look of Nyanko Masamune, and said, "Look, the three of them have been surrounded by us and can't escape. Considering the recent economic and currency problems, as well as the increasing number of snacks and small activities at the festival, it would be nice to give him a minute or two to say his last words~"

As if she felt that her own arguments made sense, the little gangster from [Street Ghost] became more and more excited and confident as she spoke. In the end, she even straightened her back and looked down at her employer with an expression that said, "Don't be unreasonable and delay our brothers from making money."
