NOVEL NEXT Chapter 40: 040 Kujaku, Surprise
"I want it!"
"I bought it."
Two voices sounded in unison at the same time, and Lynch's hand collided with another customer's.
Lynch looked up and saw a girl with blond hair.
Before he could say anything, the girl smiled sweetly and said:
"Now, brother, you're not going to snatch this from me."
The girl appeared to be no more than fifteen years old, not wearing a military uniform, suggesting she might be a family member of the Marines.
But... Lynch noticed the fluctuations of Haki in the girl.
In this world, people mature early. Despite appearing fifteen, their true age remains a mystery.
Possessing Haki at such a young age marked her as a genius.
"Yeah, brother, you want to snatch something from a little girl?"
Seeing Lynch remain silent, the girl repeated herself.
"...Of course." Lynch reluctantly handed the hairpin to the girl.
"Thank you, brother! Goodbye, brother~"
After receiving the hairpin, the girl quickly paid and happily left, her long hair swaying.
[Ding! Trigger life choices. ]
[Choice 1: Stealthily snatch the hairpin, making the girl cry. Reward: Lesson from Vice Admiral Tsuru.]
[Choice 2: Take the black silk from Kujaku's legs and keep it as a treasure. Reward: World Transfer Scroll.]
[Choice 3: Invite Kujaku to watch your performance in the small room. Reward: Title: Loli Killer, +5 damage to little loli.]
"emm... The system is really getting more and more perverted."
Lynch can no longer complain about his system.
"But the codename Kujaku sounds very familiar."
Lynch thought about it, isn't this the granddaughter of Vice Admiral Tsuru?
The World Transfer Scroll from option 2 is split into parts A and B. Holding both parts allows you to travel freely between two points.
This kind of good stuff can be called a portal, and it's probably impossible to buy it without 50,000 points in the system store.
And even for such a valuable item, the only requirement to obtain it is to collect girls' stockings.
"But I'm a gentleman. System, do you really think I'd do something so crazy just for a portal?"
Lynch scoffed.
… five minutes later.
Lynch stopped Kujaku in a remote alley.
"Hey there, brother, you're in my path."
Because Lynch used his life to return himself in advance and became unrecognizable to him, the girl did not recognize him.
"That's right."
Lynch took out two bags of unopened black silk and explained, "I am a staff member of a black silk manufacturer."
"We're conducting a market research project. If you give me your black stockings, I'll give you two new pairs."
"Why do you need my stockings?"
Kujaku was puzzled and tilted his little head, looking innocent.
"We're going to use the stockings you wore for testing so we can improve our products."
The girl was silent for a moment, then suddenly scolded: "Pervert! Big pervert!"
"You don't want to use my stockings to clean your gun, do you? That's gross~"
Kujaku gave Lynch a look of disdain.
"Clean...clean the gun?!"
Lynch muttered to himself, feeling stupid.
Lynch never expected these words to come from a young girl.
"Get out of the way, pervert, I'm going home."
Kujaku said, pushing Lynch aside and hurrying out of the alley.
"Shave!"
Lynch teleported over and knocked the girl unconscious with a a sword strike.
"Sorry, since you won't take them off yourself, I have to do this."
Lynch carefully removed the black silk stockings from the girl's smooth legs, inch by inch.
A faint fragrance came from the stockings.
Lynch looked serious and threw the girl's original stockings into the storage ring.
He's not really a pervert, so how could he smell it?
For important news, you have to go to a place where no one is around.
"One for two, you're not at a loss."
Putting the prepared stockings in the girl's hand, Lynch lit a cigarette and held it between Kujaku's fingers.
When the cigarette burns out, she will be woken up by the burn.
"Perfect."
Lynch made sure there were no clues left at the scene before quietly leaving.
"The system collects the rewards."
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission. The world transfer scroll is being distributed...]
A flash of light appeared, and a scroll split into two parts materialized in Lynch's hand.
With one half in hand, Lynch could teleport to wherever the other half was located.
Then, Lynch tirelessly searched for the pirate hunter who had come to Marine headquarters to claim the bounty.
He spent five million Baileys to arrange safe passage for the goods to West Blue.
Bounty hunters like Lynch eagerly welcomed such safe and harmless escort missions.
After two trips back and forth, it was already night.
He dragged his tired body back to the door and saw it was dark inside.
"Tom, that stupid cat, doesn't know how to turn on the light at home." The moment he opened the door, the room suddenly lit up.
Just two bangs were heard, and the ribbons floated down from the sky.
"Surprise!"
"Congratulations on your promotion to Rear Admiral!"
A large group of people emerged from the corner.
There were Marines who had sailed with him for a year, fellow students from the same period, and Hina and Momousagi.
"Colonel Lynch, ah no, I should call him Lynch Rear Admiral from now on."
"Sir Rear Admiral, you're the first from our elite camp to reach this rank. Congratulations."
"Thank you everyone." Lynch felt warm in his heart.
Momousagi stepped forward gracefully.
"Momousagi-san, you're back."
"Yeah," Momousagi nodded, then suddenly hugged Lynch's head and kissed him on the forehead.
"??!"
Lynch's eyes widened in surprise.
Hina gasped with her mouth wide open.
The onlookers were so startled that they dropped their beers and quickly looked away.
Tom seemed not to be surprised, lit a cigar on the side, and slowly exhaled a mouthful of mist of words.
[Hundred Years of Love]
"Brother Lynch, welcome home," Momousagi said happily.
Lynch looked at himself in the mirror, his face covered in lipstick marks. "This surprise is so sudden…."
....
A night of partying.
Early the next morning.
Lynch rubbed his aching head and climbed up from the sofa. He was shocked by the scene in the room.
"Did a hundred huskies just rampage through here?"
Everyone was gone, the living room was full of wine bottles, and messy things were everywhere.
Tom hung like a noodle from the light bulb.
With a bang, the wine bottle in Tom's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"Tom!"
Tom woke up instantly, ran up to Lynch, and saluted with a military salute.
"Good morning Master. Blessings from your most loyal soldiers."
A magnetic and hoarse voice came from Tom's mouth.
"Oh, you can talk!"
Lynch was really shocked this time.
Tom also noticed something was wrong and quickly covered his mouth and shook his head.
"Stop pretending. I didn't drink too much. What's going on?"
Tom carefully observed Lynch's expression, took out a pen and paper from his tail, and wrote: Aren't you surprised?
