Chapter 679 The Natural Enemy of the Small Profiteer, the Sakura Family
Chapter 678 The natural enemy of the small profiteers - the Sakura Empire
"Well done Kirishima! You've helped a lot!"
Lin Lan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the fleeing Akashi being caught. He smiled and walked forward with Amagi, while thanking the handsome Sakura Empire ninja.
Hearing his words, although Kirishima's face was covered by a black cloth, his purple eyes were crescent-shaped when he looked at him:
"It's just a little help. I was just practicing in the woods with Akatsuki and Kuroshio. I came to see what was going on."
For some reason, after Lin Lan walked in front of Kirishima and Akashi, he could smell a faint fragrance.
This fragrance seemed to be carefully blended by some plants. If you are not a person with a very keen sense of smell, it is easy to ignore this smell.
Looking at Kirishima in a ninja outfit, Lin Lan roughly guessed that this fragrance should be emitted from Kirishima.
After he melted the ice under Akashi's feet, he looked at the pitiful little profiteer who was still held in the air by Kirishima, stretched out his hands, and rubbed Akashi's chubby cheeks.
"I'm not going to eat you, why are you running so fast?"
"Meow... Commander, I'm wrong..."
Akashi had no power to resist and let him rub his face, drooping his cat ears, hesitating to apologize.
"Oh? You're wrong, then what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Akashi take the initiative to admit his mistake, Lin Lan stopped ravaging the kitten's white cheeks and asked with a sneer.
"I, I..."
Being watched by Lin Lan, Amagi, and Kirishima, Akashi was still hesitating whether to tell the commander that she had been secretly photographing him, and whether to find another excuse to get away with it.
But Kirishima found that Akashi was reluctant to speak, so he suggested to Lin Lan in a joking tone:
"Hmm, Commander, a friendly reminder, as ninjas of Sakura Empire, we have professional interrogation skills. Do you need me to use them on this naughty little kitty?"
"Meow! I was wrong to secretly take photos of the commander and use them as materials for Aoba meow!"
Before Lin Lan even had time to speak, Akashi shuddered all over and confessed honestly.
Hearing Akashi suddenly change his words and admitting everything so readily, he couldn't help but look at Kirishima a few more times in surprise.
Wow, the ninja's interrogation methods are really so powerful that they can scare this little profiteer like this?
However, after hearing Akashi explain the consequences of his crime, Kirishima said in a deep voice:
"Akashi, it's okay for you to secretly take photos of the commander, after all, everyone has this hobby more or less."
"But you actually dared to send those photos to Aoba, the biggest unscrupulous reporter in the port area, so you must accept the punishment."
"Commander, I suggest that you hand her over to me and let her experience the training life of a ninja."
Although the purple-haired black-horned ninja sister spoke in a very serious tone, she winked at Lin Lan and Tiancheng playfully while speaking.
Lin Lan suddenly realized that Kirishima was planning to play the good cop and the bad cop with him to scare Akashi.
Sure enough, upon hearing Kirishima's words, the kitten's face turned pale, and it cried out miserably and fearfully:
"Meow! No, I don't want to practice like you ninjas meow! Akashi will die meow!"
Then Akashi suddenly set his eyes on Lin Lan, who was smiling at her in front of her, and begged with tears in his eyes:
"Commander, I won't dare to do it again meow, yes, yes, I can make up for it meow, I will take you to find Aoba, I have a way to persuade her to give up issuing press releases meow!"
To be honest, Lin Lan had never expected that the person who could really control Akashi was Akashi's hometown, the Sakura Empire.
Although he didn't know what the ninja training was like.
But looking at Akashi's completely frightened look in front of him, it was obvious that this kind of ninja training would not be easy.
Even if he knew about ninjas through anime and comics, he knew that in order to become a qualified ninja, he had to go through a series of devilish training.
And even the leader of the Six Drive, Akatsuki, would admit that she still had a lot of training to do and was not a qualified ninja.
It is conceivable how difficult it is for these ninjas to practice.
But no matter what, since Akashi was already scared and knew his mistakes and expressed his willingness to make amends, Lin Lan nodded with satisfaction.
He looked at Tiancheng, looked at the pitiful little profiteer, and said with a smile:
"Since you know how to repent, Kirishima, give her a chance."
"What? I thought I could have another ninja companion."
Kirishima's tone revealed a very reluctant emotion. After speaking, she threw Akashi in her hand into Lin Lan's arms and said to Akashi:
"Akashi, congratulations on escaping a disaster, but this is for the commander's sake. You are not allowed to go along with Aoba in the future."
At this time, the green-haired kitten nestled in Lin Lan's arms, hugged Lin Lan tightly, and nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice after hearing Kirishima's words.
Seeing Akashi like this, Lin Lan was more convinced of his previous thoughts.
As expected, in the entire port area, Akashi's only natural enemy is the relatives of the Sakura Empire.
After that, Lin Lan also told Akashi and Kirishima about his plans after entering the Imperial Sacred Tree barrier.
Knowing that Aoba was going to make such a big news, Kirishima also took the initiative to apply to go with Amagi to find Mikasa, and then go to Aoba's dormitory together.
Of course, Lin Lan agreed to have such a reliable battleship ninja join.
But just as he put Akashi down from his arms and was about to walk back to the torii entrance of the shrine to pick up the mind cubes that Akashi had just thrown on the ground, a cute cry came from behind him:
"Chirp chirp!" "Chirp chirp!"
Lin Lan turned around and saw that it was the two barbarians who were cleaning the street before.
The two barbarians had already collected the scattered mind cubes on the ground for him, and walked behind him with their wings.
This saved him from taking the mind cubes himself. Since Akashi was going to find Aoba, he directly requisitioned the two barbarians to follow him into the shrine.
So they walked to the red torii gate of the shrine together, and Amagi took Akashi and Kirishima and waved goodbye to him:
"My Lord, Amagi and others will take their leave first. A shrine maiden will take you into the sacred tree barrier in the shrine. After dealing with Aoba's matter, Amagi will wait for you at the five-story pagoda."
"No problem, I will be back as soon as possible."
Lin Lan smiled and waved to the three Sakura Empire ship girls, indicating that he would complete the magic replenishment for the Demon King as soon as possible and go to the five-story pagoda.
As Mikasa said yesterday, there are still many matters in the Sakura Empire camp that need to be decided by him as the commander.
There are also things like the arrangement of the course for the teaching of elemental skills, and the current situation of the laboratory of the scientific researcher Yubari, which also need him to discuss with Mikasa, Nagato, Musashi and others.
His work tasks today are still quite heavy.
After saying goodbye to Amagi and others, Lin Lan led the two Manju holding the Mind Cube into the torii gate together.
Surrounded by cherry trees on both sides, they walked on the stone path, listened to the birds singing in the woods on both sides, and soon arrived at the entrance of the shrine square.
However, before he reached the stone hand-washing machine at the entrance of the shrine, he heard the sound of a broom sweeping the floor in the empty shrine square.
