Chapter 1720: Hunting for the Shadow (16)

It's embarrassing. The www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion was originally intended to confess to the woman, but things have become like this, and it is difficult for Mutter to tell the truth.

"Yes. Then you have to thank this big brother who sent you back. Luffy's mother said, "Well, it's still uncle? I'm sorry, my eyes really don't work, I can't see too far away." ＂

Albert was actually less than five yards away from the cat-people woman. Luffy's mother's eyes must have been so bad that she couldn't even see people and objects within five yards of distance.

"That...... Albert tried to collect his thoughts and said to the woman, "Mu ...... Luffy hit his head during the battle, was badly wounded, and had been unconscious for quite some time. His memory is a little vague, and he occasionally talks nonsense, Auntie, don't care. ＂

"yes, did you hurt your head? Luffy's mother rubbed Mutter's kitten's head vigorously, "Silly boy, Mom told you not to work too hard, why didn't you listen." When you encounter a dangerous demonic beast, don't force yourself to fight, you must escape, you know?"

"Uh...... Well...... The cat-man boy whispered in agreement.

"Anyway, I'm good if you come back safely. Luffy's mother let go of the cat boy at this time: "What time is it? Don't talk about it, you two come here. When you get home, your mother will make you something to eat. ＂

"Okay, okay...... The cat-man boy replied hesitantly.

So the woman led the way in front with a cane, but Mutter stepped back, walked with Albert, and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do next?"

"Uh-huh...... I don't know...... Now Albert has a look on his face that is about to collapse, and it is already the limit to be able to speak: "One step at a time...... Bar...... ＂

"Why did we run into Ruf's mother?" Mutter grumbled, "I thought this place was the only one we knew!"

"I thought it was, too. Albert's almost blank head was still trying to get up and running, but it was occupied by great sadness, and it turned markedly slower: "I...... I've heard from Luffy before that he's an orphan and no longer has a ...... I don't know what's going on right now, I really don't know. ＂

He knew that Luffy would not lie to him, and that if Luffy said that he was an orphan, he was really an orphan. As he thought this, Albert suddenly had an epiphany, and an even greater sadness suddenly welled up in his heart.

It was because of Albert.

According to the original fate of this world, Luffy meets Albert and becomes Albert's servant, and some of the events in his fate will be triggered, and the cat man boy Luffy will lose his mother.

However, Albert had previously drunk the red potion given by Bedeville, and his fate had changed.

In this world, Albert has never met Luffy, and Luff is not Albert's servant or assistant, but only operates as a Warcraft hunter.

In the fate of this world, because of some subtle change, Luffy's mother did not die, but survived.

Luffy died instead. Here, Luffy's mother waited for her son to return, only to find her son's remains.

This is, what an ironic fate!

And it wasn't this thing that really broke Albert. What really broke the tiger was the potential [possibility] in it. ］

In Luffy's original fate, the mother of the cat-man boy Luffy died for some reason, and her death seems to be closely related to Albert, and it is precisely because Luffy met Albert that Luffy's mother will die. Calculated in this way, does it also mean ...... Albert actually killed Luffy's mother indirectly?!

"Are you okay?" Seeing that Albert was almost paralyzed, Mutter hurriedly held the tiger.

"Uh......h I'm just, kind of ...... It's just uncomfortable...... The tiger whispered, but did not tell the other party why.

"What's wrong?" asked the Cat-Folk woman who was walking in front, turning around.

"It may have been a bit of a chill on the way here, and my friend Mr. Albert was a little unwell. Mutter replied.

"Yes. Please hold on, you'll be home in no time. The woman smiled sweetly.

She was right, but Luffy's house was not very far from the lake, and after walking about a hundred paces, Albert and the others could already see a simple log cabin by the woods.

"It's not dangerous to build a home in a place like this. Albert seemed to feel a little better at this time, and muttered in a low voice, "Just at the edge where the light of the tower can shine." In this way, if the light of the tower suddenly weakens, the place will be attacked by the monsters. ＂

"Don't worry, Mr. Albert. The woman pushed open the door and smiled happily: "For so many years, we have never seen the light of the tower weaken, and under normal circumstances, there will be no problem." And I don't live in this house often, I live in the tower most of the time. ＂

"Huh?" Mutter listened to this conversation and thought it was strange, but he didn't know anything about the Melson Stone, and now he was still playing the role of "Luffy" to temporarily deceive Luffy's mother, so he didn't dare to ask random questions, for fear that saying the wrong thing would arouse the suspicion of Luff's mother.

"Come on, big boys, sit down, and I'll get you something to eat." When the woman got home, she seemed to be much more energetic, put down her cane, and walked slightly in the direction of the kitchen.

Albert shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the shabby-looking but sturdy wooden couch.

"How long are you going to stay here?" Mutter then looked at the tiger man with questioning eyes, "Hurry up and find an excuse to say goodbye to Luffy's mother, and then we should leave!"

"Let's take a closer look. "I told her you hit your head and lost your memory, so you shouldn't be able to wear it." ＂

"That's not the point!" said Mutter angrily.

"Mutter, please, it's not what we planned, but please pretend to be Ruf for the night. Really, one night is fine, and let's coax Luffy's mom well. The boy is no longer alive, but now his mother is left alone. Just told Luffy's mother about his death, and his mother was so pitiful. ＂

"So you're going to keep deceiving like this?" snorted the cat-man boy.

"Someday...... I'll tell Luffy's mom the truth. But not now. I've got to find a way to take it step by step and give her a mental preparation. ＂

"Hmph, what a mental preparation. The cat man didn't bother to say anything more to the tiger, so he sat down on the wooden stool next to him angrily and crossed his legs.
