Chapter Eighty-Eight

Following. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Maruko walked into Aso's study with a grin, and she was in a happy mood at this time. Ever since she followed Li Ruhai to defeat the headquarters of the Second Order, she suddenly found that her status in the eyes of everyone was different.

In the past, although she was the daughter of an important minister of the Aso family, because she was young and had very little qualifications, she inevitably gave those older and senior people a shout.

But now it's different, she became famous in a fight, from the beginning of entering the gate of Aso's house, everyone looked at her with awe, and many people greeted her, not casually calling "Maruko", but with three points of affection, three points of respectful call "Gui Sang".

Even the archdeacon (archbutler) did not look at her with a straight face as before, and did not habitually criticize her for her appearance, but let her swagger in like this with a smile.

It feels so good!

Maruko happily saluted Aso Yuu and called out affectionately, "Miss!"

Aso Yuu raised his head from the pile of papers, pinched his frowning brows, looked at her and said helplessly: "Do you know what a dangerous thing you have done?

Maruko twisted his little body and said, "Miss, isn't this all right? If I don't chase after Lord Aihara, then how can I make Lord Aihara believe in Maruko's sincerity in serving him?"

Aso Yuu sighed and said, "Do you know how Katsura-sama looked at me during the meeting just now? He must have thought that I had sent you to do such a dangerous thing......

Maruko pouted and said, "Don't worry about that old guy, he's just an old-fashioned guy!"

Aso Yuu frowned, and said sternly: "Don't be rude to your father!"

Maruko hurriedly said "Hi", but she didn't want to listen to Aso Yuuha's nagging anymore, so she quickly took out a pistol from her body, respectfully put it on Aso's desk, and said very flatteringly: "Miss, I brought you a gift." ”

Aso picked up the gun, pulled the sleeve casually, ejected a bullet, and then exited the magazine, which was filled with yellow bullets. She stared straight at the ball and said, "You just loaded the gun like this in your pocket?"

Maruko said aggrievedly, "I'm afraid that the remnants of the Second Rank Hall will attack me." ”

Aso Yuu said with a slight annoyance: "They are looking for Senior Brother Aihara, what are they looking for you?"

Maruko whispered in agreement, and began to dig from his body into the table: a pistol, three magazines, a short knife, a ball of thin steel cable, a piece of chocolate that he had bitten into, a mobile phone, a steel needle, three or four packets of powder, a small bottle of oil, a snack, and a box of windproof matches for lighting cigars.

Aso Yuu looked at the things on the table, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Seriously, Maruko, if you take out the RPG (Note 1) from your body one day, I promise I won't be surprised at all!" As she spoke, she took the pistol and magazine away, "It's not appropriate for you to keep the gun, I won't confiscate it!"

Maruko shouted dissatisfiedly: "Miss, people have always thought about you, and seeing that M1911 specially picked it up for you as a gift, and you want to confiscate my gun, people's hearts hurt!"

The pistol Maruko is talking about is actually a Colt M1911A1 automatic pistol, caliber 11.43mm, which has been widely used by the U.S. military as an officer self-defense weapon since the twenties of the twentieth century.

Unmoved, Aso Yuu fiddled with the M92F of the balls and said, "My 1911 is much newer than the one you gave...... You can't keep this M92 either. ”

After a slight pause in her voice, she persuaded bitterly: "Maruko, you are too young to hold such a dangerous weapon. Besides, if you don't have professional training, if you hold a gun, it's a big problem to shoot yourself and hit someone else, and it's even more problematic...... I'll give it back to you when you're two years older. ”

Maruko said aggrievedly: "I have watched a lot of military documentaries on TV, and I have also watched a lot of firearms magazines. ”

Aso shook his head and said, "That's different. Firearms are dangerous, and there are strict requirements for maintenance, storage, and use, and this is not a toy. ”

Maruko still didn't give up, she rolled her eyes and said, "But Miss, M92 was given to me by Lord Aihara!"

Aso Yuuha's expression was straight, and he said to Maruko: "Don't lie, this gun was given to you by Senior Brother Aihara himself?"

Maruko raised his hand and swore: "It's true! Lord Aihara gave it to me with his own hands!" She was playing tricks, Li Ruhai casually threw it to her at that time, and she used this as an excuse to mislead Aso Yuu to think that this was the weapon that Li Ruhai officially handed over to her to use.

In the RB tradition, the superior gives the weapon to the inferior, which is both a reward and an honor, and in many cases has a special meaning, which should not be taken lightly.

Sure enough, Aso Yuyu hesitated, seriously, Li Ruhai scared her, she is not uninformed, but Li Ruhai single-handedly defeated a famous gangster, it is really a bit too exaggerated, and this kind of plot can only be found in eighth-rate TV dramas - but a person with this kind of strength, who dares to provoke him easily, and is not afraid of becoming the next second order?

So Aso Yuu compromised and changed his words: "Just these few days, I'll let someone teach you, and then you can carry it with you when you learn it." ”

As long as Maruko can get the gun back, she is satisfied, and she is also interested in learning to use a gun, so naturally she will not object, and she happily agreed.

Aso motioned for her to put away a table of bits and pieces, and then asked, "You won't come back to give me a gift, will you?"

Maruko stuffed a bunch of things into his clothes again, and from the outside, there was nothing unusual, which is also a door's skill. She said to Aso Yuuha, "Miss, Lord Aihara wants me to ask you for a personal favor - I want to learn art from Lord Aihara." ”

Aso Yuu was surprised: "You mean, Senior Brother Aihara taught you martial arts to offset the favors owed to our Aso family?"

Maruko nodded again and again and said, "Lord Aihara said that he owes the eldest lady several favors...... It's okay to use one of them, Miss, please, haven't you seen it with your own eyes, Aihara-sama is so powerful, it's like a ghost reincarnation, oh, he's a ghost in the first place, no matter - I really want to learn!"

Aso Yuyu's heart was pounding, Li Ruhai's martial arts, not to mention pills, even she wanted to learn, but she also knew that there was no truth to teach her easily, and the other party might not be willing to teach her, even if she was, there were a bunch of restrictions and harsh conditions, and it would definitely be difficult to accept it with her identity...... But it's good that Maruko can learn.

She tapped her knuckles on the table, thought for a moment, and slowly shook her head, "Exchange favors for ...... No, Maruko. ”

Maruko was stunned when she heard this, she originally thought that it would go well, didn't she work for the Aso family after she studied? She begged bitterly: "Miss, just use a favor! A favor, it's very cost-effective!"

Aso Yuu's hand tapping on the table stopped, and said word by word: "Maruko, you go to the Aihara family!"

Maruko's eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "Why, Miss?"

Aso Yuyu's eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but he still repeated firmly: "Maruko, you go back and tell Senior Brother Aihara that you are willing to transfer to the Aihara family and follow him for the rest of your life, and he will teach you." ”

"But why, eldest lady, you can get a favor for a favor, why don't you want me?"

Aso Yuu ignored her words, and instead asked, "Maruko, you've been with Senior Aihara for a while, who do you think is best for him?"

Maruko didn't think about it and said, "Kobayakawa, Aihara-sama protects her all day long." ”

Aso Yuu looked at her and asked slowly, "Haven't you thought about why?"

Maruko was dumbfounded, she thought hard for a long time, and then said uncertainly: "Aihara-sama likes the way she looks, right?"

"Chiyuki Mina and Akoto Ogata are also by his side all day long, which one is not more beautiful than Sakurako Kobayakawa? What's more, there are so many girls like Sakurako Kobayakawa in RB, why is it her?"

Maruko was speechless for a while, and could only look at Aso Yuu stupidly.

Aso Yuu smiled, patted a stack of documents on the table, and said, "Your report, my observations, and the information that others have heard, taken together, can very well explain the character of this man in Aihara Shuzhong - he is like a mirror." ”

"Mirrors?"

Aso Yuu nodded and said, "Yes, the mirror - what others do to him, he will do to others." ”

The balls let out an "ah" and thought for a while before saying, "It seems like this!"

"You should also notice that you are by his side, did Sakurako Kobayakawa take the initiative to ask Senior Aihara for something?"

"It doesn't seem like there's a ......"

"Is there anything Sakurako Kobayakawa missing?"

"No...... Aihara-sama thinks about that little Hayakawa first about any good thing, and gives her a lot of pocket money, she can buy whatever she wants, usually afraid that she will be wronged at all, but this time it is for her to fight against the second step - obviously that little Hayakawa will only cry, and it will be useless!"

Aso Yuu said with a smile: "Because Sakurako Kobayakawa is wholeheartedly devoted to him--with the strength of Aihara Junior, what do you want, whether a woman can help him, he doesn't care at all, what he cares about is his heart!" She seemed to appreciate this feeling, and was fascinated for a moment before continuing, "Aihara Senpai is gentle and polite on the surface, but he is extremely proud on the inside, as long as you are a little tougher, he can be ten times harder than you, and it is difficult to really get close to his heart." He was like a thick tribulus covered in thorns, and only a delicate and harmless companion plant like Sakurako Kobayakawa could wrap around him. ”

Speaking of this, Aso Yuu Yu Yu seemed to be a little envious and said: "Sakurako Kobayakawa is a really smart person -- the information says that she has a high IQ, and she is indeed really smart! She put her roots in Aihara's junior brother, provided Aihara junior with a little bit of chlorophyll, and as Aihara junior died with Aihara's junior brother, she was regarded as one by Aihara junior brother, and provided for and protected her without complaint -- not only did she have no worries about food and clothing, but anyone who dared to reach out and touch her would definitely be pierced in blood. ”

Maruko's eyes widened and Haru said, "Ah, is that so?"

Aso said: "From the analysis of the data, this is true. Look at Chiyuki Mina, it is not difficult to see from the information you reported that although Senior Aihara doesn't know why he has to date her, he obviously doesn't care about her, and he doesn't care much about her feelings, and that Azokata Ako, not to mention that Ogata, nine times out of ten, it's just because she is a friend of Sakurako Kobayakawa that Senior Aihara looks at her more - what do you say this is because?"

Without waiting for Maruko to answer, Aso Yuu gave the answer directly: "Because Sakurako Kobayakawa is completely attached to Aihara's juniors, and they can't do it." ”

Maruko suddenly realized, and said: "It's true, that little Hayakawa hates it very much, and all day long it looks like she's going to die if he leaves Aihara-sama! Every day when he opens his eyes, he revolves around Ainohara-sama, and he is courteous, and he can't just chew and feed him when he eats, and when he takes a bath and wipes his back, he has to lie on Aihara-sama's body for a long time, and she nods at what Aihara-sama says, and she is so timid that she doesn't dare to be coquettish--ah, she doesn't even care about her father, and Ainohara-sama wants to go her dad into the river, and her dad begs her as if she didn't hear it!"

Aso Yuu said meaningfully: "This is the real smart person!"

Maruko said angrily, "Kobayakawa is too insidious!

Aso Yuu scolded directly: "Don't do stupid things, you use your brains, you have to let Senior Aihara choose between you and Kobayakawa Sakurako, who do you think will be kicked out!"

Maruko weighed it in her heart for a moment, lowered her head in disappointment, and then wondered, "What does this have to do with my transformation to Lord Aihara, Miss?"

Aso Yuu said: "If you don't transfer to the Aihara junior, how can the Aihara junior think that you are wholeheartedly for him, not for the Aso family? If you are not completely attached to the Aihara junior, but use favors in exchange for your qualifications to learn art, then you will learn a little bit at most, but if you serve the Aihara junior, or you will get the true inheritance!"

Maruko said hesitantly: "But then I won't be a member of the Aso family!

Aso Yuu advised: "Maruko, don't you often think of yourself as a samurai? Then you should know that Akechi Mitsuhide, Akechi Mitsuhide transferred to the Oda family for the great cause of the Ashikaga family...... There are many similar things, and it is not surprising. ”

Maruko wondered, "Was one of the four kings of the Oda family a former Ashikaga retainer? But this is a bad person, he finally rebelled, killed Oda Nobunaga and his son, and seized the world...... It seems like it's only three days, and that 'three days in the world' is what he means, right?"

Aso Yuu said angrily: "Pay attention to the point! I'm not teaching you to be a bad guy...... After Akechi Mitsuhide transferred to the Oda family, he made a force to promote the Oda family to support Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and after Kamirako, he took control of Kyoto, so that Ashikaga Yoshiaki seized the throne of the shogun of Seiyi!"

Maruko asked curiously, "Does the eldest lady think that it will be helpful for you to turn into Lord Aihara?"

Aso Yuu sighed: "You will always be willing to have a good relationship with the Aso family and the Aihara family." If I were in trouble, you would be willing to say that Senior Aihara supported me, right? At least, you would help me if Senior Aihara didn't give me an explicit order!"

Maruko nodded vigorously and said, "Of course, Miss!" After a moment's hesitation, she added embarrassedly, "But after the transfer, I will be loyal to Aihara-sama first, Miss." ”

Aso Yuu smiled and said, "Of course, it should be like this!" Although I also have some selfish intentions, but Maruko, you are like my sister, I hope you can live well...... The opportunity to learn the martial arts of Aihara's junior is a rare opportunity, so don't miss it. ”

Maruko said with a smile: "Then I'll go back and tell Lord Aihara that I'm going to transfer to the Aihara family - when I become a martial arts master, Miss, whoever makes you unhappy, I'll punch him to death!"

Aso Yuu smiled and said, "Thank you in advance, Maruko!"
