Chapter 648 Paimon: Haha, it’s a misunderstanding
He stared at the Eye of God in his hand, his eyes full of reluctance, as if he was bidding a final farewell to his closest friend. Then, he reluctantly handed it to the most burly warrior, his face full of frustration and unwillingness, and said in a low and weak voice: "Okay, okay, I accept it, warrior-sama." His body trembled slightly, and it seemed that even his soul had lost its luster at this moment.
After the warrior got the Eye of God, he showed a smug look on his face, put away his aggressive attitude, snorted coldly, and said in a tone full of arrogance and disdain: "Hmph, very good. Let's go!" After that, he casually put the Eye of God in his arms and walked towards the direction of the Tenryo Bugyofu with arrogant and heavy steps. A cloud of dust was raised behind him, as if he was showing off his "victory".
Paimon was so anxious when she saw this scene that she was like an ant on a hot pot. She stamped her feet in anger, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly because of her anger. She clenched her hands into fists, her knuckles turned white because of the force, and her face was full of worry. She said loudly: "What should we do? He has already handed over the Eye of God. Doesn't he know the consequences of doing so..." Just halfway through her words, she suddenly reacted as if she had been electrocuted. If it weren't for the girl's obstruction, they might have successfully rescued the man. Thinking of this, her anger that had just subsided suddenly rose again, and she immediately pointed the spearhead at the girl again, and said loudly with a full heart of complaints: "Woo... It's all your fault for acting like you don't care and delaying the opportunity." Paimon's eyes were wide open, and the flames of anger were burning in them.
Unexpectedly, not long after Paimeng finished speaking, the man whose Eye of God had just been taken away ran over quickly. His face was filled with a grateful smile after surviving a disaster, and that smile was as bright and warm as the sunshine after the dark clouds. He ran to the girl, bowed and thanked her continuously, saying: "Ms. Xiao Gong, thank you so much! Fortunately, I have the fake one you just gave me, otherwise I would have been in trouble." His eyes were full of gratitude and admiration for Xiao Gong, as if Xiao Gong was his savior.
After hearing what the man said, Xiao Gong quickly waved her hands. Her movements were brisk and free and easy, and a smile as bright as spring flowers appeared on her face. She said, "It's okay~! You performed very well yourself!" Her laughter was crisp and pleasant, like silver bells swaying in the wind, which made people feel happy when they heard it.
Lin Feng was also completely stunned. He never thought that the ordinary-looking girl in front of him was actually Xiao Gong. In his impression, Xiao Gong in the game was always full of vitality, like the most dazzling sunshine in summer. But she was not only without any "bandages", but also dressed very simply, a coarse cloth dress that was washed a little white, and a simple coarse cloth hat on her head. The whole person gave people a very ordinary feeling at first glance, and it was difficult to be noticed in the crowd. But think about it carefully, under the high pressure of this Eye Hunting Order, in order to better allow the holder of the Eye of God to hide, keeping a low profile is undoubtedly the best choice. At this point, Lin Feng felt that the image in the game was too different from reality, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, who would care about dressing up under such a pressure environment... However, he still keenly smelled a faint smell of gunpowder on Xiao Gong, and thinking of her identity, this smell should be related to the long-term production of fireworks.
When Kong heard this, he suddenly reacted, slapped his forehead, and said with sudden realization: "It turned out to be a fake Eye of God...but the workmanship was so real that I was fooled..." There was a hint of regret in Kong's eyes, and he felt a little embarrassed for not seeing through it just now.
When Paimon heard this, he scratched his head awkwardly, a blush appeared on his face, and he said embarrassedly: "Ah... So that's the case. I was angry with Miss Xiaogong just now... Well... I'm really sorry." Paimon's voice became smaller and smaller, and he lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
When Xiao Gong heard Paimon apologize to her, she waved her hands indifferently and laughed heartily: "Haha, that's nothing. Judging from your reactions just now, we are all on the same side. Mutual understanding is necessary, right?" Her smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel particularly kind. After that, Xiao Gong continued: "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I, Xiao Gong, am the current manager of this "Naganohara Fireworks Shop". I usually make a living by doing some small crafts. Please take care of me!" As she spoke, she waved and greeted everyone enthusiastically.
After hearing what Xiao Gong said, the man who just ran over also nodded vigorously, his face full of admiration, and said incessantly: "There should be everyone in Hanamizaka who doesn't know Miss Xiao Gong. The "Queen of the Summer Festival" is her! Without her and her fireworks, Narukami Island is like there is no summer!"
After listening to Xiao Gong's introduction and the man's narration, Paimon couldn't help but clap his hands, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and he said loudly: "What an amazing person, I like fireworks too! Nice to meet you!"
After hearing what the man said, Xiao Gong also laughed embarrassedly, with his cheeks slightly flushed, like the sunset glow in the sky, and said shyly: "Hehe, I am embarrassed, Hanshiro." At this point, Xiao Gong looked at Hanshiro again and continued: "Speaking of which...you should thank Master Zhengsheng more than thanking me. It's a good thing that he left some fake Eye of God with me...Back then, even my Eye of God was saved by Master Zhengsheng's fake, otherwise it would be inconvenient for me to do business."
After hearing what Xiao Gong said, Lin Feng couldn't help but start to deduce in his mind. He thought that the Eye of God was preserved for lighting fireworks, and suddenly found it a little funny. However, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was no problem. The Eye of God with fire attribute should be able to light fireworks quickly. As he thought about it, he smiled unconsciously.
After listening to Xiao Gong's words, Hanshiro sighed helplessly and said with emotion: "Alas, Master Masakatsu is such a good person, but it's a pity that good people don't get rewarded..." His eyes were full of regret and helplessness. He lowered his head slightly, as if he was heartbroken for what happened to Master Masakatsu.
Hearing the two talking about Zhengsheng, Paimeng exclaimed, "Master Zhengsheng!"
