Chapter 628: Hiiri's Changing Aura
What new challenges will they encounter on Ming Shen Island? This series of questions kept circling in his mind. He looked at the night sky, the stars were twinkling, but they could not dispel the worries in his heart.
The next morning, the light of dawn gently sprinkled on the outlying island, bringing a glimmer of life to this originally depressing place. The number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and everyone was busy preparing for the new day. The breakfast vendors set up their stalls early, and the steaming food exuded an enticing aroma, attracting passers-by to stop. The fishermen carried their fishing nets and walked towards the seaside with firm steps, ready to welcome a new day of work. The children laughed and played in the alleys, and the crisp laughter echoed in the air, full of vitality.
The three of them walked towards the checkpoint early. Their steps were a little anxious, and they all had the expectation of leaving the island in their hearts. When they arrived at the checkpoint, they saw Chisato Hiiragi at first sight. She was pacing back and forth anxiously, her eyes revealed anxiety and expectation, and she looked at the intersection from time to time, hoping that the three of them would appear. Her steps were hurried and powerful, showing her inner tension and anxiety. Her clothes were still gorgeous, but in the morning light, she looked a little haggard, probably because she had not slept all night last night.
After seeing the three people coming, Hiiragi Chisato hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You three are finally here. The time is just right. The goods are almost loaded. Let's go in quickly." After saying that, she walked towards the checkpoint. Her steps were quick and powerful, and it was obvious that she took this matter seriously. The three people did not hesitate at all and followed her closely.
The checkpoint was a busy scene, with boxes of goods piled up like mountains, and workers were busy moving them. The heavy boxes swayed on their shoulders, and they shouted slogans and worked together to load the goods onto the carriages. Hiiragi Chisato walked straight to the pile of goods that had been loaded onto the carriages, then looked at the people standing around her and said in a clear and loud voice: "Wait a minute, this batch of goods... is it going to be sent to Kaiji Island?" There was a trace of scrutiny in her eyes, and she stared closely at the people in front of her, trying to get an answer from their reactions.
Hearing Chisato Hiiragi's voice, several people turned around and looked at her. One of them was the one who delivered the letter to the three people yesterday. After seeing that the person coming was Chisato Hiiragi, that person spoke first: "Miss! Why are you here? You are right. This batch of goods was specially instructed by the Kanjo Bugyo-sama to be delivered to Kaijima in good condition." He bowed slightly, with a respectful expression on his face, and was very awed by Chisato Hiiragi. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, and he didn't understand why Chisato Hiiragi suddenly paid attention to this batch of goods. In his opinion, the transportation of goods has always been carried out according to the established process, and there has never been any mistakes.
After this person finished speaking, another person beside him asked in confusion, "I wonder what the lady means..." His eyes were full of confusion, not understanding why Chisato Hiiragi suddenly paid attention to this batch of goods. He scratched his head with a confused expression on his face, "This batch of goods has always been delivered according to the usual practice. Is there any problem?" He really couldn't figure out Chisato Hiiragi's intention and was full of doubts.
After hearing what the man said, Chisato Hiiragi nodded, her face full of satisfaction, "That's right, my father is worried, so he deliberately asked me to bring a "master" to escort together." She straightened her back, and her eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty. She crossed her arms and glanced at the people around her, as if showing them her authority. "I will be responsible for this escort, you just need to do your job well." Her tone was firm and decisive, making the people around her dare not despise her in the slightest.
When the man heard what Chisato Hiiragi said, he was shocked. "Young lady is escorting her personally? This, this... I think we don't need to bother you to go with us. Besides, this... this "master"'s identity is also..." His tone was hesitant and worried, and he obviously didn't agree with Chisato Hiiragi's personal escort. He knew that this escort mission was a heavy responsibility. If Chisato Hiiragi made any mistakes on the way, he and the others would be blamed. At the same time, he was full of doubts about the identities and abilities of the three people of Sora, wondering if they were capable enough to protect Chisato Hiiragi.
Seeing this, Kong also took a step forward, and then looked at the person with a proud look, "Do you look down on me?" From the person who spoke this time, Kong has already realized that this person is the one in charge of this transportation. As long as she agrees, this time it will basically be a sure thing. From the current point of view, this person obviously does not want Chisato Hiiragi to participate in this transportation event, so Kong decided to blow the wind. Kong deliberately straightened his chest, showing a confident attitude, and his eyes revealed a provocation, "I have enough ability to complete the task, you don't need to worry." He hopes that through his confident performance, the other party will recognize his strength.
Seeing that this person still had no intention of agreeing, Hiiragi Chisato directly brought out the official rhetoric, "Please don't waste time. I remember my father urged you. You will also be punished for being late, right?" After all, there was more than one shipment to be delivered. If this shipment delayed the subsequent shipments, there would definitely be punishment. Her tone became serious, and there was a hint of warning in her eyes. She knew that these people were afraid of her father's majesty, and she hoped to force them to agree to her arrangement.
After hearing what Chisato Hiiragi said, the man nodded helplessly, "Miss, we understand what you mean." Then he looked at the three people, "But only these three..." His eyes were still full of doubts, and he was still not sure about the identities and abilities of the three people. He looked at the three people carefully, trying to judge from their appearance and temperament whether they had the ability to complete the escort mission, but the doubts in his heart were still difficult to eliminate.
Seeing that this person still did not intend to agree, Chisato Hiiragi also used threatening words directly, "Why, you know my father's temper. If my safety is in danger, I don't need to tell you the punishment you will suffer." After saying this, Chisato Hiiragi turned to look at the few people with a suspicious look, "Are you really 100% sure... to protect me?" When saying these words, Chisato Hiiragi had a sense of awe without anger, which made Paimon stunned. After Chisato Hiiragi finished speaking, Paimon leaned into Sora's ear and whispered, "Ms. Chisato is so hardworking, her aura is like a different person..." Paimon was very surprised by Chisato Hiiragi's transformation. He didn't expect her to be so strong in this situation.
