Chapter 52: Intentions
After breakfast, Zoro didn't continue to wander around Rogue Town, after all, he was still a flower protector...... Ahem, it should be the duty of a personal bodyguard, and you can't let Robin go.
But when he returned to the hotel, he ran into Robin, who was about to go out, and was surprised: "Hey, have you eaten?" ”
Shaking his head, Robin propped up a somewhat reluctant smile: "Not yet." ”
"What's the matter, your face isn't quite right." Zoro saw that something was wrong with Robin and asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?" ”
As he spoke, he raised a glass of hot milk in his hand and handed it to Robin, saying, "It just so happens that this glass of milk hasn't been drunk yet, so give it to you." ”
You're not welcome, taking the milk from Zoro, Robin thanked him: "Thank you, I just want to drink something to warm my stomach." ”
"Well, would I like to buy you something to eat?" Zoro hesitated and added.
Raising his eyebrows, Robin's eyes were full of surprise: "Why is it suddenly so gentle, obviously I was so unhappy yesterday."
Could it be that I finally found out my big sister's good? ”
Facing Robin's flirtatious little boy's smile and words, Zoro was already a little immune, and said bluntly: "I found a delicious restaurant just now and wanted to share it." ”
"Oh, that's it." The smile was slightly retracted, Robin bit the straw and sucked the warm and sweet milk into his mouth, his fair face gradually became rosy, and the whole person seemed to be re-energized.
"Where are you going today?" Zoro was also a little uncomfortable when he saw Robin staring at him while drinking milk, and asked after staggering his gaze.
Robin bit the straw lightly, his lips little by little: "I'm ready to leave." ”
"Huh?" Sauron raised his eyebrows, this answer was not what he expected.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Sabo didn't press Robin to reply early, and Klockdahl didn't care about Robin most of the time, so there was no reason for her to be in such a hurry.
Tilting his head, Robin smiled: "If you want to leave a place, do you need a reason?" ”
"Yes." Sauron doesn't like to beat around the bush when he speaks, and he expresses his thoughts directly.
Letting go of the straw and licking off a drop of milk accidentally stained on his lips, Robin looked at Zoro's serious eyes and said indifferently: "Then it's because I'm tired." ”
"You had a great time shopping last night." Zoro remembered the smile that never faded from Robin's face last night.
Sighing, Robin showed sadness on his face: "Actually, I couldn't complete the task, so I had to leave early and go back to be punished." ”
“…… Your task is just to get me to join the Baroque Workshop? Zoro straightened up, the expression on his face fading away.
He was not familiar with the sand crocodile Klockdahl, but he also knew that that guy really didn't take the lives of his subordinates seriously, and killed him directly if he wanted to, leaving no mercy.
Robin hadn't elaborated much about his work at the Baroque Workshop before, and Sauron couldn't tell if what Robin said was true or false, but he was still willing to believe Robin.
After all, one is a partner you trust, and the other is an enemy who once faced each other with swords, so it is needless to say who you believe.
"Saab, they will protect you." After a pause, Zoro straightened his waist slightly: "And me." ”
Robin looked at the young man in front of him who was about the same height as her, or a little shorter than her, with some surprise, and didn't understand why he was so partial to her, willing to offend a powerful Seven Martial Sea for the sake of her, a person who had just known her for a day.
"Mr. Swordsman, you are not one of theirs, why protect me for them." Robin opened the door that had not yet been closed, and motioned for Zoro to come in, it was not a good place to talk.
Zoro took a few steps forward, but instead of stepping into Robin's room, he stopped at the door and subconsciously glanced at the neat room, then returned his gaze to Robin's body.
"I'm not here for Saab's request." Zoro stared straight at Robin and said, "I just want to make some money." ”
Hearing this answer, Robin was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing: "Then your appetite is really big." ”
"Bounty hunters are made for money."
"But you don't look like you like money." Robin leaned against the cabinet with the milk in his hand and looked at Sauron, pointing.
Zoro shrugged: "Who doesn't like money. ”
Robin asked, "Do you like it?" ”
"Of course I do." Zoro nodded, he didn't want to go through the embarrassment of not even being able to afford a good sword when he came to Rogue Town.
"Uh-huh." With a meaningful snort, Robin put down the empty cup and said, "Reply to your friends for me, and say that I can join them, but I have to go back to Alabastan to do something first." ”
"I think it's better for you to tell them yourself." Of course, Sauron knew what happened to Robin back to the kingdom of Alabastan, and she wanted to learn the truth of history for a long time, and she had long wanted to study the historical inscription hidden in Alabastan.
"It's not proper for a lady to refuse a boy's invitation in person." Robin said this very ladylikely, as if he wanted to lead by example.
But Sauron wouldn't be fooled, he directly took Robin's words as crookedness, and he hadn't heard it anyway.
"He's already an adult who can withstand pressure (and violence), not a boy." In addition to being ruthless and unrelenting in the competition, now that Sabo is being damaged, Zoro is also unrelenting.
He can argue with the fact that Sabo is a boy, but he can't deny the fact that Robin is a lady.
Among the women Sauron knows, there are only two people who can really be called ladies, one is the black-bellied woman in front of him who can play a little prank, and the other is the green-haired woman who was cut in half by him and almost died.
"Even so, I still have to leave." Robin didn't feel the hidden meaning in Zoro's words, but she didn't continue to say anything to divert the subject, leading the conversation back to square one.
"I spent a day with you in Rogue Town, and in return, I'll trouble you to take me to Alabastan for a spin." Zoro knew he had no reason to let Robin stay, but at least he could follow him.
Klockdahl is not a good bird, even if there is a secret protection of the revolutionary army, it is difficult to ensure Robin's safety, not to mention that he still has an old account to settle with Klockdahl, which happens to be settled together.
"Are you sure?" Robin could see that Sauron was right, that he was really going to go with him to the kingdom of Alabastan, and that he was going to go to Klokdal and cut him down.
That look couldn't be faked, Robin was sure that Sauron was serious.
"Of course." Zoro nodded, as a matter of course.
"I don't know the way to Alabastan, so with a guide like you, why don't you ask for advice."
"This ......" Robin sighed and said helplessly, "Okay, then let me take you to Alabastan for a walk." ”
Hopefully, you don't die there.
