Chapter 1721: Hunting for the Shadow (17)

By this time, Luffy's mother had also come out of the kitchen, holding some kind of fruity pie and a large cup of hot drink. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's your favorite plum pie, and the ginger tea for Mr. Albert. This can dispel cold and cure colds, so be sure to drink it. ＂

"Thank you, thank you...... Mutt was actually a little hungry too, so he whispered yes, went over and took a piece of fruit pie and ate it.

"Silly boy, why did you suddenly say thank you to your mother. The woman smiled indifferently.

"No...... Uh, he's hit his head, he's just talking nonsense, don't worry about it, Auntie. Albert hurriedly rounded the field for Mutt, and at the same time came over to pick up the cup and drank the ginger tea. The spicy and pungent sensation of ginger tea spreads through the tiger's esophagus and stomach, and it really drives away a little chill.

Because of the stimulation of ginger tea, the tiger's appetite suddenly became strong, and he also took a piece of wild plum pie and put it into his mouth in a big gulp: "Well! delicious! Sweet and sour, the fragrance of wild plum and the mellow aroma of the pie are just right! Delicious!!"

"Hey, hey, thank you. Luffy's mother smiled indifferently again: "If it's delicious, I'll make it for you later." Luffy doesn't have many friends, so it's rare for him to take his friends home to play------"

"Mom------" Mutter interrupted Luffy's mom as he busied. Even if it was actually Luffy and not Mutter himself, the cat boy felt very embarrassed to hear this.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it. The woman turned and walked away, "It's not too early, I'll go boil the bath water for you, wash it well and go to bed." ＂

"Well, we have business ahead of us, and we're going to leave tonight------" Mutter said depressedly.

"I don't care what you have to do, anyway, it's rare for you to go home once, so spend the night at home tonight. Luffy's mother said resolutely: "You are so badly injured, if the hunter organization doesn't let you have a good rest, and still assigns you to do this and that, my mother will not agree to it first!"

"Well------" Mutter sighed, "we're going to ...... tomorrow No, you have to leave at seven...... ＂

"Then hurry up and take a shower and go to bed, go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow. Ruffy's mom said.

The cat man boy and the tiger man youth looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with this. Luff's mother was very determined that she wanted to leave her "son" at home for one night anyway, and Albert and they had no room to prevaricate.

"Alright then," Albert got up from his seat and turned to leave, "Luffy, I'll pick you up tomorrow?"

"What are you talking about? you have to stay!" Mutter said anxiously, fearing that Albert would leave him here like this.

"This is your home, I'm still ------"

"Huhuhu," Ruf's mother laughed suddenly, "Look, Mr. Albert. My family has kept you like this, so don't be polite to us, rest here for the night before leaving. ＂

The tiger hesitated again, trying to find an excuse to shirk. Even though he knew his words were weak, he said, "I'm busier than Luffy...... ＂

"If you have anything important, you can leave it for tomorrow, so let's relax and rest tonight." ＂

"Hmph...... The tiger whispered a low sigh and reluctantly sat down again.

"So, I'm going to boil you bath water. You two older boys should wash together, shouldn't it be a problem?" asked Luffy's mother.

"No, no, no, there's definitely a problem!" "Why am I taking a shower with this guy again!" Albert and Mutter erupted in protest almost simultaneously.

"Huhuhu," Ruf's mother smiled, "you're on good terms." ＂

Albert and Mutter's faces immediately turned red. They couldn't protest any further, and Luffy's mother had gone out into the backyard of the house to boil the bath water.

The "------" was large enough for three people, and a lot of hot water was squeezed out as Albert lay in. As the water flowed along the edge of the barrel, the tiger let out a long sigh.

"Don't lean over here, stay away from me. Mutter was unhappy and pushed the tiger on the shoulder.

"Hey, hey, how can I see this meow. Obviously, we've taken a shower together several times. Instead, Albert deliberately shifted his body to the side, with a mischievous smile on his face.

Mutt shrank down the surface of the water, shivered, and waited for the hot water to drive the chill away from him.

Regardless of the process, the cat boy finally took a hot shower tonight. Before, he soaked in cold water in the Athenian city of the leopard people, close to a cleansing ritual-like bath, and then he also took a casual soaking in the icy lake water to finish the matter, just to get the ominous aura from his body after wearing the shroud. Before, it wasn't considered a bath, but now it's a real hot bath------ although the bathing environment is a little narrower.

"What to do next. Mutt muttered in a low voice, "We lied to Ruf's mother like this, she will definitely not be happy when she learns the truth." ＂

"That kind of thing will be talked about later, and now you can hide it for as long as you can. Albert sighed, "We'll get out of here early tomorrow morning anyway." Until then, please play the role of [Luffy], okay?"

"I'm not here for this...... Mutt muttered again.

"Then what are you doing here?" the young tiger man then asked, "I didn't force you to attend Luffy's funeral, I just thought you might need to know about it, so I'll just tell you." I never thought you'd actually come with meow forest. What spurred you to do this?"

"Hmm...... Various plans. Mutt agreed, "You know...... I was bought as a slave in Africa since I was sensible, and I never knew what the hometown of the cat people was like. I just wanted to take a look...... Before it's all done. ＂

"What do you mean by that?" Mutter's words alerted Albert, "Before it's all over?"

＂...... No, that's the ...... It's a game. Mutter replied vaguely, "Before the Diablo Super Bowl is over, yes." ＂

Albert frowned and expressed puzzlement: "The event is held every year, and after this year's event is over, there will be a chance next year." You have so many opportunities to compete, so why do you say like this is the last event of your life...... ＂

Mutter did not reply, only a deathly silence.

The tiger wanted to continue to ask, but the cat man buried his head in the hot water himself, and in order to prevent the cat's ears from getting water, he specially covered his ears with his hands. He was pretending not to hear. It seems that no matter how much Albert asks, Mutter is not going to answer the question. The tiger sighed and had no choice but to give up.

However, even if Mutter did not answer, Albert seemed to have a vague sense of something. They have recently been hunted down and assassinated in succession, and not only Albert's personal safety has been threatened, but the assassins also seem to be playing against Mutter's idea. It's hard to imagine what the days will become, and perhaps without Albert's protection, Mutt will die at the hands of the assassin in a few days.

Regardless of whether or not you are connected to your homeland, before you realize that you are about to die, you will want to go back to your hometown once and see what your hometown looks like. Perhaps the current Muth is also in this mood, and came to the Melson Stone.

Let such a mutt pretend to be someone else's son to deceive other people's mothers, Albert's heart is actually very uncomfortable, but there is nothing to do.
