Chapter 170: The Same Eyes... (End of Spider Arc)
In the end, Kawaki still compromised. After Hinowa said that, Kawaki felt that it was fine to have a drink today. After all, it had been a long time since he had a good drink.
...
"Then, let''s drink to our heart''s content today," Hinowa said with a smile.
"That..." Looking at the room in front of him, Kawaki scratched his head and revealed a troubled expression, "Actually, I prefer to drink alone. I''m not used to being served to drink."
"Shouldn''t someone pour wine for you to think that wine is better?" Hinowa asked doubtfully.
"No, I still prefer to drink by myself." Kawaki decisively refused.
"Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and get in!" Taking advantage of Kawaki''s inattention, Seita pushed Kawaki into the room and locked the door.
When Hinowa saw this, he quickly took out a remote control from her bosom and pressed the switch.
There was a rumbling sound, and the entire room was reinforced in several layers.
"Oi, oi, what is going on!" Kawaki slammed the door and shouted loudly, "It''s just drinking! Why is it like imprisonment?!"
"Please enjoy yourself!" Hinowa replied, "I won''t let you out until tomorrow morning."
"What are you guys planning?" Kawaki cursed. Then, a flash of inspiration appeared, "Um, I want to go to the toilet! I want to go now!"
"It doesn''t matter. There''s a toilet in the room." Hinowa replied with a smile.
"Well, I have a bit of "Toilet Recognition Syndrome"! If it''s not my room''s toilet, I won''t be able to do it!" Kawaki shouted again.
"You are just coying "Bed Recognition Syndrome"!" Seita shouted.
"In short, please bear with it a little." After Hinowa finished speaking, she turned to look at Seita. Seita understood and quickly pushed Hinowa away.
"Hey! Don''t talk to yourself and leave me here!" Kawaki shouted, "I have no interest in this kind of imprisonment!"
Just as he finished shouting, Kawaki heard a fake cough coming from behind him.
Kawaki slowly turned his head and saw Tsukuyo kneeling on the ground in a blue kimono. The kunai ornament on her head was also removed and changed into several flowers. Most importantly, the ground beside Tsukuyo was full of wine bottles. On top of that, many wine bottles were empty.
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Kawaki turned around and slammed the door again.
"If you want to kill me, just say it!!!" Kawaki kept knocking on the door, but what Kawaki didn''t know was that Hinowa and Seita had already gone far away, and the people nearby had all been sent away by Hinowa in advance.
"Oi, oi! Open the door for me! Damned old woman!" Kawaki cursed.
Just as he finished cursing, Kawaki heard Tsukuyo''s voice coming from behind him.
"I am the Courtesan of Death, Tsukuyo. Please shut up... hic..." After letting out a hiccup, Tsukuyo raised her head and stared at Kawaki.
Kawaki felt the hair behind his back stand up.
"That... Actually, I just accidentally entered here..." Kawaki hurriedly explained, "I''m really sorry! I''ll leave now!"
As he spoke, Kawaki turned around again.
"What have I done?" Tsukuyo looked at Kawaki, who was almost unconscious and covered her mouth.
"Do you think it''s really appropriate to react like that at a time like this?" Kawaki retorted with a face full of contempt.
Unable to hold back, Tsukuyo burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at!" Kawaki shouted angrily, "It''s all your work!"
Looking at Tsukuyo, who stammered and wanted to say something, Kawaki finally sighed and said, "Forget it; it''s already lucky enough that you sober now. Just hold on until dawn. Also, let me remind you not to touch the wine in the future. Your drunk behavior is the worst I have ever seen..."
"Thank you..." Tsukuyo''s mosquito-like voice sounded.
"Huh?" Kawaki was confused, "What are you talking about? Are you still not sober?"
"Thank you..." Tsukuyo said again, her voice a little louder.
"You..." Kawaki quickly got up and ran to a corner, curling up into a ball and shivering, "As expected, you haven''t sobered up yet. Goodbye! Tomorrow''s sun!"
Tsukuyo looked at Kawaki, who was curled up in the corner, and couldn''t help but laugh again.
"The smile of death? Goodbye! My life!" Kawaki wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes, revealing a determined expression.
"What an unreasonable man." Tsukuyo said, "But this time, I really should thank you. If not for you..."
Before Tsukuyo could finish, he heard Kawaki''s slight snoring.
"Forget it; I have already said my thanks," Tsukuyo muttered to herself, then picked up a remote control from the table and pressed the switch.
Then the reinforcement of the entire room was lifted. Tsukuyo stood up, stretched slightly, and slowly walked to the door and opened it.
However, before Tsukuyo could walk out, Kawaki stood up and rushed out first.
"I... survived! Thank you, Lord God!" Kawaki shouted with tears in his eyes and then quickly rushed into the distance.
"What a strange man."
Looking at Kawaki''s back, Tsukuyo picked up her kizeru, took a light puff, and exhaled a mouthful of smoke.
Just as she finished sighing with emotion, Kawaki''s voice sounded...
"Your thank you, I''ve heard it. If there is a next time, please change the way! Also... next time when you need help, just say it out loud!"
"There won''t be next time!" Tsukuyo roared. Then, Tsukuyo recalled what Jiraia had said that day. To be precise, it was some views on Kawaki.
[That man''s emotions are deeply buried. Although I can''t understand it, there must be something hidden at the bottom of his heart. Also... those eyes... To a certain extent, they are the same as mine...]
These were Jiraia''s original words.
"The same eyes... What exactly are they?" Tsukuyo muttered, "What exactly is this man hiding? What is his purpose? Where exactly is he looking at..."
"Chief, Hyakka has already gathered." A Hyakka member shouted at Tsukuyo from afar.
"I got it." Tsukuyo replied and then muttered to herself, "Forget it, it''s time to work..."
