Chapter 187: Neko: Even dogs can talk, what's wrong with cats? Gorou: Are you polite!

Asase Shrine!

Neko, who called itself the acting Guuji of the shrine, paced back and forth anxiously. It had been half an hour since the young man who looked exactly like the one in the portrait disappeared.

It also saw the changes in the sky and earth on Seirai Island just now, and instinctively sensed that it was probably a big move made by the young man.

Holding hope, it walked back and forth waiting for the final news.

I don't know how much time passed again.

Suddenly, Neko's eyes blurred, and the place where the young man disappeared just now appeared again mysteriously.

Compared to before he left, the expression on his face was not so nostalgic, but carried a hint of relaxation.

"Human... no, Hibiki's teacher, tell me, where is Hibiki?"

Meeting the black cat's expectant gaze, Luo Li could see a light similar to Rosalyne, Ganyu, and Mitsuyo in it.

"Don't worry, she will be back in three days."

"In three days?!"

Neko was a little skeptical, but considering Luo Li's identity, he shouldn't lie to himself.

"Really?"

It muttered softly, no matter what, it could only wait.

At worst, it would be a joy in vain.

"Why would I lie to you? That big thunder was caused by Hibiki back then. She is now self-sealed under the island, but the seal has been lifted by me."

"Was that change just now caused by you?"

Neko was greatly surprised. This human seemed a little different from the ones it had seen before.

It wanted to continue to ask for more information, but saw Luo Li suddenly turn his head to look at the direction of the shrine's torii gate.

"It seems that guests have arrived."

Neko followed and looked, finding dozens of people wearing samurai clothes and armor entering from the torii gate, looking very serious.

Searching all the way from Seiraimaru until finding the place where the anomaly occurred, Gorou was on alert, but didn't expect to meet someone here.

He first looked around and let his subordinates search everywhere, not approaching Luo Li at the first time.

Until the entire shrine was searched, the subordinates gathered again to confirm that no second person appeared.

Only then did Gorou focus all his attention on the exceptionally handsome young man. The other party was followed by a black cat, and its golden eyes stared straight at everyone, which was a bit creepy.

Throwing away the strange thoughts, Gorou came to the front of Luo Li and asked: "This lord, may I ask if you were here when the anomaly happened just now?"

He wanted to ask if the other party was the person involved, because there was only one person, and he didn't perceive anything special, so his tone was very relaxed and didn't feel overbearing.

Luo Li didn't answer the question, but instead said: "You Resistance members are not mining over there, what are you doing at the shrine."

The subordinates beside Gorou changed their expressions, "Wait, you saw it?! General Gorou, no matter what happened just now, we can't let him leave!"

This person was dressed in luxury and had an extraordinary temperament. At a glance, he was not an ordinary person, and obviously not from Watatsumi Island.

Since that was the case, he probably belonged to the famous families on Narukami Island, and at a glance, he was a young master.

Although he didn't know what he was doing on Seirai Island, he had learned the news that the Resistance was moving ore here, so he must not let him go.

Otherwise, once he went back and told the Shogunate army, the efficiency of their forging weapons and armor would be greatly reduced if the route was cut off.

Gorou looked at him deeply, knowing that his subordinates were right.

"Sorry, this lord, please trouble you to come with us."

While saying this, Gorou secretly remained vigilant and tensed his body.

For some reason, facing the young man in front of him, a sense of palpitation arose from the depths of his heart, as if he were an ant looked down upon by a god.

As if once the other party got angry, everyone present would not be able to get out of the shrine.

"Please rest assured, we will only invite you to be a guest on Watatsumi Island, and send you back after the war ends. We will not cause you any harm. I swear in the name of the Sangonomiya Divine Priestess."

Intuition told Gorou to maintain etiquette and never force it. That sense of terror had not disappeared, so he added another sentence.

As soon as this was said, Gorou found that the air returned to being relaxed and comfortable.

This person had a big problem!

He suddenly didn't want to invite the other party back to Watatsumi Island. Who knew if it was a blessing or a curse.

"Watatsumi Island, huh? That's fine, I'll go with you."

Luo Li thought for a moment and agreed.

There was nothing to do anyway. He had just come out of Ritou, and Asase Hibiki would not wake up until a few days later, so it would be nice to visit Watatsumi Island by the way.

See if the baby who absorbed his Honkai energy was born, and by the way, Luo Li and Paimon would also be wanted for resisting the Raiden Shogun, and would have to join the Resistance temporarily.

Give them a surprise when the time comes.

Calculating these, Luo Li agreed but found that Gorou was a little hesitant.

"¨． Since you invited me over, there is no room for regret once the words are spoken."

With a faint smile, Luo Li's words made Gorou feel tight in his heart, and he couldn't say the words of refusal at all.

It seemed that some force was preventing him from speaking.

Luo Li saw through his thoughts and comforted: "I once had a friendly friendship with Sangonomiya, so don't be so vigilant."

Hearing this, Gorou was immediately puzzled.

Had a friendship with Sangonomiya?

But from the time he could remember, and the Watatsumi Island classics he understood, there shouldn't be such a talent.

Before he could ask, Luo Li had already arranged for Neko: "You stay here and wait for Hibiki to return. If she wakes up early, just tell her where I went."

Neko nodded silently: "I understand."

"A... a cat that can talk?!"

Gorou was greatly surprised, and his subordinates also looked at the black cat that spoke human words with surprised eyes.

Neko snorted disdainfully: "Even dogs can talk, what's wrong with me talking?"

Gorou: "..."

All the Resistance members: "..."

These words, heard suddenly, seemed to have nothing wrong.

Even Luo Li couldn't help but be dumbfounded. This cat really had a sharp tongue.

Gorou wanted to argue, saying: "I'm different from you."

"How is it different?"

"Uh, body... size?"

The dog boy's unconfident words made Neko roll its eyes even more.

"It's nothing more than a bigger dog. Alright, you guys hurry up and leave here. I still have to wait quietly for Hibiki to come back."

Gorou: "..."

The dignified General of Watatsumi Island never thought that one day he would be rendered speechless by a black cat.
