Chapter 13: Don’t look back, Madam Toki, I am Oden

"…………………"

On the streets of Flower Capital, Kozuki Oden, who was highly regarded by the Kang family, was not satisfied with just dancing naked, and even sang a ballad at the top of his lungs.

"The world is really going downhill now. With the heir of the Kozuki family in such a bad state, it's no wonder that our lives are getting worse and worse. It seems that we really can't blame the beasts."

"I used to wonder why General Sukiyaki didn't pass the position of general to his son, but instead passed it to General Orochi who had no blood relationship with him."

"Now that I have seen Kozuki Oden with my own eyes, I can only say that General Sukiyaki is really good at judging people!"

An old farmer who was going to the market in the city with his wife was carrying a hoe. He pointed at Kozuki Oden with a look of disappointment, and his saliva was flying like raindrops.

"Hey - that's Lord Oden, how can you call him by his first name?"

After hearing her husband's outrageous words, the old woman nearby hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Hmph, Lord Oden?"

"There must be something wrong here. Maybe someone fell into the sea while going out to sea, and some water got into his brain, turning him into a fool."

"I think, don't call him Lord Oden anymore, just call him Lord Fool!"

The old farmer pointed at his head with one hand and at Kozuki Oden with the other, and shouted insults.

After listening to what her old man said, the old woman looked at Kozuki Oden again and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, so she stopped refutation.

An old farmer in the country humiliated Kozuki Oden in the street, and the news spread like wildfire.

Soon, throughout the Flower Capital, the nickname of Kozuki Oden "His Highness the Fool" spread completely.

When even his own men looked down on Kozuki Oden and secretly called him "Your Highness the Fool" with contempt, the Flower Capital's underworld boss Hana no Leopard Goro could no longer tolerate it.

“Ahhhhh——!”

"How did Lord Oden become like this?!"

He slammed the chopping board in front of him, his hair burning like blue flames, and his ferocious face made people feel scared.

"I don't... I don't... I don't know."

"According to my subordinates, it's stupid... No, it's Lord Oden."

"Ever since that day, he went to see General Orochi normally, and then left the general's mansion, he has become like this."

The ronin warrior sitting in the hall replied fearfully.

"Your temperament has changed drastically right after you walked out of the General's Mansion?"

Hana no Leopard Goro was stunned for a moment, then he clenched his fists fiercely, his head burning with anger.

"The evil Kurozumi Orochi must have done something unspeakable to our Lord Oden in the Shogun's Palace!"

"This lecherous guy not only attacks women, but even Lord Oden couldn't escape his clutches!"

Flower Leopard Goro did not expect that Kozuki Oden's return not only failed to change the fact that Kurozumi Orochi served as the general, but made the situation of Flower Capital and even the entire Wano Country even more difficult.

"That's too miserable for Lord Oden!"

"If I had experienced something like this, I would have gone insane!"

The gangster standing by sighed with regret, but his face was filled with excitement that he couldn't hide.

"It's so tragic..."

Hana no Leopard Goro really feels bad for Kozuki Oden. He always feels that he should do something for him. Oden needs his love!

With this thought in mind, Hana no Leopard Goro waved his hand, looked at a shirtless ronin and gave an order: "Umekawa Naoki, prepare a carriage. My wife and I will go to look after the bullied Lord Oden tonight."

"Yes!"

The man named Umekawa Shangyi withdrew respectfully and prepared according to the boss's instructions.

As night fell and the weather grew colder, the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually decreased, but Kozuki Oden was still dancing naked to his heart's content.

"According to the promise made to Kurozumi Orochi, I only need to dance for sixteen hours a day and then I can rest."

Kozuki Oden looked around and when he felt that it was almost time to get off work, he slowed down his actions.

"Dengdengdeng..."

Just as Kozuki Oden was about to take a rest, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out, which was particularly harsh.

"Which damn guy stayed up late at night to come over and see my jokes and enjoy my performance?"

Although Kozuki Oden was cursing, his hands and feet never stopped moving, and his main point was that he was dedicated to his job.

"Ah Qiu~!"

Inside the carriage, Hana no Leopard Goro sneezed violently.

"Caught a cold?"

When his wife heard the noise, she asked with concern.

"It's a bit cold tonight, and it must be uncomfortable for His Highness Oden to be naked!"

Hana no Leopard Goro patted his wife's hand gently and said with a sad expression.

As a good friend, Hana no Leopard Goro really doesn't want Oden to suffer any more grievances. It's too hard for him!

"How about we take Lord Oden to live at our home?"

The lady asked sympathetically.

"Okay, let's do it like this!"

"We will accompany Lord Oden just like this!"

Hanano Leopard Goro nodded in agreement.

The journey was not far, and soon Hana no Leopard Goro and his group arrived at the place where Kozuki Oden was dancing.

"Hmph, here it comes..."

"Let me see who this damn guy is?"

Hearing the sound of horse hooves suddenly stop, Kozuki Oden thought silently.

He looked up and saw a blue vest-shaped tattoo dotted with pink flowers.

"Hana no Leopard Goro!!"

Kozuki Oden looked at the man in front of him and called out his name in surprise.

"Are you cold? We'll take you home!"

It's hard to imagine that gangster Hanano Leopard Goro also has a gentle side.

"Jiuli? It's better not to go back!"

"I can't face going back to see Madam Shi like this!"

"It's best not to let them know about the naked dance!"

Kozuki Oden said quickly.

"Don't worry, Jiuli can't get any news from the Flower Capital!"

"If you don't mind, you can sleep at our place tonight!"

Mrs. Bao Wulang hurriedly comforted him. She knew that the people from Baishou suddenly ordered a news block on Jiuli, so what she said was the truth.

"That's good!"

When he heard that they were going to Leopard Goro's house, Kozuki Oden put aside his concerns, accepted the couple's invitation, and got on the carriage naked.

When he arrived at Hana no Leopard Goro's house, Kozuki Oden, who had been hungry all day, went there and ate and drank to his heart's content.

When she was satisfied, she came to the room prepared for her, lay on the bed and rested her tired body.

"It's so warm in bed!"

Kozuki Oden wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and fell into a sweet dream.

On the other side, in the distant Kuri, in Oden Castle.

After coaxing Mitsuru Tsukihi and Madam Toki to sleep, she sat on the bed and stared at the moon in the sky through the curtains for a long time.

After a long while, she sighed, "Alas, he won't be back tonight."

After saying that, she slowly took off her clothes, and her beautiful figure was as white as snow under the bright moonlight.

Just as she was lying on the bed and preparing to fall asleep, a pair of strong hands hugged her from behind.

She was about to resist, but the person behind her was getting closer and closer.

"Mrs. Toki, don't look back, I'm Oden!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Mrs. Shi's body trembled violently, and tears of joy flowed in her eyes.

"Do you know how I've been living these years?"

Mrs. Shi grabbed Jello's hand on her chest and gently told him about the loneliness and emptiness she had felt these days.

This confused Jello behind him.

At first he just wanted to squeeze on the couch with Madam Shi and the others to complete the sign-in task arranged by the system, but who knew it would be so exciting right from the start.

"Keep the noise down, don't disturb Hiyori."

Mrs. Shi gently pinched the back of Jello's hand and spoke tenderly.

"Ok!"

...............

[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully and obtaining the Seven-Star Ultimate Reward: Dragon Dragon Fruit·Phantom Beast·World-Destroying Black Dragon Form! ]

"The system's reward is really good, it fulfills my wish!"

Jello was very satisfied!

Tonight is destined to be the most sleepless night he has had in more than twenty years!

"One word, Run~!"

After expressing his feelings, Jello fell into a sweet dream.
