One Piece I want to go home

Chapter 18 - Chapter 17
"Did you do it?" He asked coldly.

"No." Murphy replied, "It's the bamboo pole, we're trying to stop him..."

"That bamboo pole wants to hit my sister! Bad guy! Big bad guy!"

Delinger yelled angrily, but revealed his obviously very human fangs.

"Hey, hey, look! That child is not human!" Lini screamed.

The surrounding townspeople all showed expressions of fear and took a step back.

Some people had sharp eyes and recognized it.

"Look carefully! The horns on the head are not decorations for the hat! They are real!"

"What the hell is this kid! A monster!"

"Sheriff! Hurry up and kill the monster!"

All of a sudden, words of horror and disgust came like a torrential rain.

Delinger suddenly became flustered, choked up and said, "Sister... I'm not a monster, am I?"

Murphy originally wanted to wait until the weather calmed down, and then wait for an opportunity to escape.

But these people, who repeatedly challenged her bottom line, really couldn't stand it!
"Shut up! You frogs in the well! Ignorant people like you are not qualified to define the word monster! The real monsters are those who are vicious, selfish, and even want to kill children." beast!"

Murphy looked at Lini with a murderous expression.

"If you can escape, run away quickly. I have already begun to regret saving you."

If it wasn't for Murphy's reminder, it would have been his neck that Delinger had bitten.

"Hey, little girl. Don't forget that I'm still here." Ryder said with a gloomy face.

When Murphy saw Ryder, he subconsciously avoided his eyes.

The other party was someone who really showed kindness to them, and she didn't want to see him as those townspeople who blindly followed the crowd.

"That child is a murloc, right? Judging from his bloodline, he should be a fighting fish." Ryder said.

"Huh?" Murphy was surprised.

"Smelly brat, don't underestimate the power of books." Ryder said, "One last question, did you set the fire?"

"Of course not! We are..."

"enough."

Ryder interrupted Murphy, turned and walked towards Lini.

Lini said proudly, "Ryder, you owe me a favor this time..."

"Yes, I owe you a favor."

Ryder said, taking off the well-dressed suit for the date, clenched his fists, his muscles tensed.

"If you want to repay this favor, then... Hey, you guy, what are you going to do?"

"What to do? Of course, to return your favor!"

Ryder swung his fist and landed a solid punch on Lini's face.

The latter spun around for several weeks at an angle with an excellent mood, before hitting the ground.

"Lini, you've always held a grudge against me, don't think I don't know about your little tricks behind your back! Because of Ruili, I've been putting up with you! But this time, you've gone too far!" Ryder yelled.

But Lini didn't reply, his eyes were rolled and he was obviously beaten unconscious.

The people around shouted for the doctor and quickly carried Lini down.

"Hey, hey, are you crazy? That's a monster? That girl doesn't look like she's only six or seven years old. She must have a heart and a mouth full of bad words. You actually believe what they say?" Ruili couldn't help but She looked at him with trusting eyes.

"Monster? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?" Ryder pretended to be puzzled.

"You bastard... is really unreasonable! Not only violent, but also brainless! Don't come to me in the future!" Ruili roared and left angrily.

"That, Ruili..."

"Hey, hey, Ryder, you don't really believe what they say, do you?" Sheriff Ladd said.

"I don't think they're going to lie."

While talking, Ryder walked to the fire point and knelt down to check.

"This is where the fire started. These charcoals that haven't burnt out... I wouldn't do such a stupid thing, and put that kind of thing next to the book. There is still oil floating in the puddle next to it, which should be used as a combustion aid... ...Those two children, have they planned it for a long time?"

Ryder was only half joking.

"indeed so."

The situation was chaotic before, but only now did the sheriff realize that it was unnatural.

Murphy breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had met someone with a brain.

"That Lini, you should know who he is. Last time he came to make trouble, he said that he would burn this place down sooner or later. I just didn't expect that he really dared to do it." Ryder shook his head and said.

"Then it seems that this incident was really done by Lini." The sheriff's words were a certainty.

Lini himself is just a gangster in the town, and he also likes Ruili, but he has been unable to ask for it.A few years ago, Ryder suddenly appeared in this small town, but easily hooked up with Ruili.

Since then, Lini has been against Ryder.

Everyone in the town knows about this.

"It's just...these two children are too dangerous to let them wander in this small town. Even if not today, someday in the future, they will bring danger to everyone." The sheriff said.

Although the misunderstanding was resolved, it did not mean that they would sympathize with the monster.

"We'll be leaving right away," Murphy said.

"Wait..." Ryder suddenly said.

"Ok?"

"In my study, there are just two young men missing, who can remind the fire by the way... Do you want to stay?"

Murphy was taken aback for a moment. She really didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to take the troubles of the two of them on her.

[Task [-]: Go to Swallow Town on Swallow Island. 】【completed】

[Task [-]: Accept Ryder's invitation. 】

The mission has been updated.

It seems that the purpose of their trip should be to be taken in by Ryder.

But Murphy didn't respond directly, but asked in a low voice.

"Deringer, what do you think?"

"I...I don't want to be a boy!" Delinger shouted, "But... the food cooked by the good man is delicious!"

Ryder laughed and stroked his shiny head.

"Then may I take it that you agree?"

"Almost." Murphy smiled slightly.

"Ryder!" the sheriff yelled.

Ryder looked indifferent.

"Compared to rejection, accepting a race is the best choice. Moreover, I will watch these two little ones. If they make any mistakes, I will be responsible!"

Although Ryder runs a bookstore, he is the strongest person in this small town, and he can even beat several sheriffs by himself.

"Since you said so, then raise these two children for me well. If something happens, everyone in the town will come to the door." The sheriff said.

If there is such a strong person looking at the monster, he can feel a little relieved.

and……

Even if it's a monster, it's just a child.

"Haha, I got it!" Ryder said, "Okay, two little guys, come with me! First of all, your first task is to clean up this mess!"

Even so, Ryder did most of the work alone.He also tidied up a utility room and transformed it into a bedroom for the two of them.

Although it is still a utility room, it has a bed, a wardrobe, and two small tables, and it has begun to look like a home.

[Task [-]: Accept Ryder's invitation. 】【completed】

[The second goal guidance has been completed, and the rest is for the listener to complete by himself. 】
