Chapter 393 Don’t Underestimate Our Bond
...
"Mrs. Shi? Why is this happening?"
Cat Viper and Inuarashi were both shocked and asked loudly in confusion.
Zou is in danger! Why can't you tell Lord Oden?
"Kitten, puppy, you are all aware of the current situation in Wano Country. Although Oden refuses to tell us the truth, we all know that he must have a reason for doing so. He has been silently enduring all this alone!"
When Mitsuki Toki turned around again, her eyes were already blurred with tears, and she continued in tears.
"Oden is struggling alone. If you tell him about Zou's death at this time, have you ever considered how he would feel? Wouldn't this force him to choose between the people of Wano Country and his brothers in the Mink Tribe?"
"Ah this?"
Cat Viper and Inuarashi both widened their eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"By then, you should be able to imagine the entanglement and pain in his heart! So, I'm sorry, cat and dog! I absolutely cannot let Oden know about this. If you want to blame someone, blame me!"
Mitsuki Toki wiped her tears with her sleeve and said with a firm face.
"Mrs. Shi!!!"
Cat Viper and Inuarashi hesitated for a second, then forgot about the lives of all the members of the Zou tribe, and were immediately moved to tears and snot by Kozuki Toki's sincere words.
"Mrs. Shi! Don't worry! We understand!"
Inuarashi said excitedly.
"Fortunately, you reminded us, otherwise we would have made a big mistake! It would have put Lord Oden in a dilemma!"
"Yes! Inuarashi is right! Although we are part of the Mink Tribe, we are also retainers of the Kozuki family! At times like this, we should take the initiative to stand up and share the worries of the family master!!"
Cat Viper also patted his chest and said loudly.
"We won't tell Lord Oden about this. We two can go to support Zou! If we can successfully repel the enemy and survive, we will definitely summon all the fur tribe warriors to come to Wano Country to help!"
"Yes! The Mink Tribe and the Kozuki Tribe are good brothers who have helped each other for generations! Everyone will definitely be willing to come and help with us!"
Inuarashi said seriously.
"Kitten! Puppy! Thank you so much! Oden is so lucky to have retainers like you!"
"Ah~ Madam Toki, please don't say that. It is our honor to be a retainer of Lord Oden!!"
Cat Viper and Inuarashi said happily.
...
"Huh? What? Is this what Kozuki Oden meant? Or is this what you guys meant?"
"Brother Macra, this is our decision! It has nothing to do with Lord Oden! The situation is urgent, we should set off back to Zou to help everyone. The two of us will go back with you to repel the enemy!"
Looking at Cat Viper and Inuarashi, whose opinions and positions had become completely different after returning from a trip, Markla felt that his eyebrows were already frowning a little.
"Well, I understand what you mean, but the problem is that this time the enemy is not something we can deal with! This is a matter of life and death for our Mink Tribe!"
"But Lord Oden has more important things to do! He can't leave Wano Country for the time being. As a retainer, isn't it time to show your usefulness? This time, let us share his worries!"
Inuarashi said this seriously, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, and was inadvertently moved by himself.
"That's right. You may not know that you haven't seen Big Brother Markla for many years, but we are now very strong! And don't underestimate the bond between us fur tribes! As long as we break away from each other and work together, we will definitely defeat the enemy, meow!"
The cat viper stretched out its cat claws and made a ferocious look.
"Forehead…"
Markla just felt her scalp tingling.
The two rabbit warriors behind him also frowned in thought. Is this what Lord Geer meant by the brain becoming abnormal? It's really terrible!
Although Markla felt that even if Kozuki Oden refused to support him, he could understand it, and it was also understandable that he was afraid of being rejected in person and did not want to meet him, but Markla found it a little hard to accept that Cat Viper and Inuarashi were tricked into this state.
"Okay! I'll take this as your decision. I don't need to talk about the rescue, and I don't need to show you the Duke's letter, but you can at least let me meet Lord Kozuki Oden before I go back!"
Markela shook her head helplessly.
"At least, let me see what kind of man you are, worthy of doing this to the point where you can disregard the safety of your own people!"
Cat Viper and Inuarashi looked a little embarrassed when they heard this. They hesitated for a while and left for a while. When they came back, Markla saw Mrs. Toki again.
Under her leadership, the group came to a room in the backyard.
"Yeah!"
As soon as I opened the door, steam and the aroma of food wafted out.
Cat Viper and Inuarashi sniffed and began to drool. The sad expressions on their faces disappeared without a trace.
"Wow! Lord Oden, you are actually eating oden secretly by yourself!!"
Cat and Dog said, pretending to be very angry.
"Hahaha! This is such a headache! You guys have discovered us, kittens and puppies, so come over and eat with us!"
A rough voice came out.
Markela followed the cat and dog and walked in.
I saw
There was a steaming pot on the charcoal stove on the table.
By the fire,
A tall man with strong limbs, almond-shaped eyes, thick eyebrows, and long, wild black hair gathered into a big round cake on his head. He was wearing an orange kimono. At this time, he had taken off his shirt and tied it around his waist because he was eating so enthusiastically, leaving his upper body naked.
"Ha-hu! Ha-hu! Ha-hu!"
The man held a few skewers of food in his left hand and rummaged through the pot with chopsticks in his right hand. He put the steaming food into his mouth, gasping for air from the heat! But he still kept putting the hot food into his mouth!
This person is none other than the great daimyo of Kuri, the good man Kozuki Oden!
“Haha! Haha! Oden is so delicious! I’ll never get tired of it no matter how many times I eat it!!”
In the blink of an eye, Cat Viper and Inuarashi had gathered around the table with their bowls and chopsticks and started eating.
"Hahaha, of course I won't get tired of it! Only after boiling it a thousand times can the delicious taste of oden be revealed!!"
Kozuki Oden laughed.
Cat tongues cannot eat things that are too hot, but in front of the delicious oden, Cat Viper gave it a try and blew air because of the heat, just like Kozuki Oden.
Markla had been frowning today, and the muscles on his forehead felt like they were about to cramp. He looked at the man in front of him with a complicated expression. He really wanted to ask Cat Viper and Inuarashi, did the so-called "enduring too much alone" mean that he cooked and ate all his meals by himself?
"Hey! Kittens and puppies, are these your friends? Come on, come on, you're welcome, let's eat together! You must have never tasted this delicious oden!"
Oden greeted with a smile.
"If you don't mind, let's eat together."
Kozuki also kindly helped the three people to get bowls and chopsticks, ready to witness the miracle again and watch Oden defeat the three fur warriors with a meal of oden.
