Civilization Guardian Front

Chios knew that any skin-to-skin contact with women at this time would not bring good feelings, but would instead accumulate negative emotions.

With no way of knowing Changxiu's thoughts for the time being, Chios could only let the chaos continue.

Looking back, this is the situation now...

"Jangsu... don't you feel a little drunk?"

Chios looked at the wine cup that had been filled again. He remembered that it was seven bowls. Even though his body's ability to metabolize alcohol was not bad, he still felt slightly tipsy.

"Call me Manchiyo, I've said it twice before, this is the third time...very good."

"As you wish, Manchidai..." Following the other party's wishes, he called out Changxiu's childhood name, and Chios continued to ask:

"You drank two buckets of sake by yourself, don't you feel drunk at all?"

"It's just ten jugs of wine. Could it be that Chios is already dead? Points will be deducted for this. Come, let me toast you."

Changxiu raised his head and drank his wine cup in one gulp, then stared at Chios with narrow eyes.

"Oh! Man... Manchiyo... drank it... Then I too..." Singer snatched Chios' wine cup and drank it.

"It's you!" Singer brought his wine cup to Chios's mouth.

"Six, it's not interesting for us to drink like this, how about a different way of drinking?" Changxiu didn't know what to think of.

"Say... tell me!"

Katsuya, whose kimono was loose due to his drunken movements, swayed and raised his hand when he spoke, and the precious Echigo sake was spilled from the wine bowl.

Seeing this scene, Chios, who was in charge of paying the money, didn't say anything, and didn't even frown.

He was waiting for the moment when the real purpose of the drinking situation that Niwa Chohide had deliberately set up today would be revealed.

At present, it seems that the task world can only subtly guide the characters in the world, and it is not feasible to create something out of nothing or forcibly change it.

The entire Oda family, including the lord Oda Nobuna, Shibata Katsuie, and Maeda Inuchiyo, after the Battle of Kurosuegawa and the meeting at Shotokuji Temple, their trust in Chios was completely consolidated.

The only person who doesn't have much intersection with Chios and has considerable influence is Niwa Changhide.

It just so happens that she is also the most calm and rational one, and it is much easier to arouse her doubts about Chios than a single-minded idiot like Singer.

Now, Singer on the right side of Chios, curious about what idea Changxiu was going to propose, tilted his body, and half of his body leaned on Chios, his body that was warmed by drinking, mixed with the smell of alcohol, exuded a seductive smell. Desire woman incense...

At this moment, Chios, in order to let Changxiu continue to take the next step, also took advantage of the opportunity to show male desire, stroked Singer's waist with his left hand, and drank from the wine cup with his right hand.

Singer, who had already thrown his usual shame into the sea to feed the fish, did not stop Chios' rude behavior.

With her gentle gaze fixed, Changxiu explained her drinking plan:

"Let's switch to feeding, I mean... mouth to mouth."

Chapter 25? Fragmentation

"Let's switch to feeding, I mean... mouth to mouth."

Faced with Changxiu's proposal, the drunk-eyed Shengjia hesitated.

"Huh? I...why...feel a little...not good."

(Tsk, is the martial artist's intuition still there? Fifty points.) Changxiu's eyes changed, and then quickly became gentle again, and his tone slowed down to persuade:

"Isn't Chios your friend? It's okay for real friends to do this kind of thing..."

"Listen... Manchiyo, you said that... it seems to be... so..." Singe's eyes became cloudy again for a moment.

"I said... Manchiyo, don't you respect my wishes?" Chios felt that if Changxiu was allowed to play like this, the consequences would really be irreparable, so he had to speak.

However, Chios' response played into Changxiu's hands.

She exaggeratedly showed shock, and asked in disbelief:

"Does Chios hate Six? To say such a thing..."

(Oops...she was waiting for my words)

When Chios saw Changxiu's snicker, his face was already turned in the direction of the girl with ponytail.

"Why do you hate me? Say it!" Sheng Jia fixed Chios' face firmly in front of her with his hands like pliers, with a sad expression on his face.

"I... know... I'm not smart enough, but... don't you... hate me because I'm stupid..."

Probably because her brain has been messed up by alcohol, Singer, a girl known for her strong and rough nerves, actually had red eyes just because of a trivial matter.

(In this case, any reassurance is useless...) Chios sighed inwardly, he shouldn't play probing games with a smart woman like Niwa Chohide.

If Shibata Katsuie doesn't have much affection for Chios that goes beyond friendship, it's not impossible to make things so smooth.However, the reality is that Chios did not attack Singer prematurely because he had to deal with Oda Nobuna's feelings first.

Otherwise, with Singer's silly girl's personality, Chios would be able to eat without much effort.

"Chi...Os..."

Singer's beautiful and heroic face gradually approached, and he was about to kiss him.

"Sorry..."

boom!

Chios withdrew the knife in his hand, and Singer had passed out in his arms, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Go to sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up." Gently stroking Singer's long brown hair, Chios slowly whispered in the general's girl's ear.

Perhaps because of the comfort of the people around him, the weak look on Singer's face faded, and he breathed evenly.

Gently laying Singer flat on the tatami, and smoothing out Singer's messy clothes, Chios raised his head and looked at Nagahide Niwa.

"You're going too far, Niwa Manchiyo..." Chios asked coldly:

"Aren't you ashamed of testing me this way, or using a friend as bait?"

Hearing Chios' words, Changxiu's docile and coquettish look just now seemed to have been punctured, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by a polite and slightly distanced look.

"You are a gentle person. Even in the face of temptation, you don't want Singer to be hurt... But you are too smart, and your complicated thoughts are unpredictable. At least, I have to use this despicable method to test your heart." Nature."

"Is it for...His Highness Nobuna?" Chios' expression darkened.

"Yes." Changxiu replied in the affirmative, and there was no habit of grading marks in his speech.

The wine cup in her hand was put back on the table, and the sweet Echigo sake was no different from muddy water in Changxiu's eyes.

"Don't worry, if you really want to attack Sheng Jia, then... I will bear your desire instead of her."

"Replace?" Hearing Changxiu's cold explanation, Chios raised his head and drank a pot of wine, his eyes turned cold.

(It's time for some serious medicine...)

"Who gave you the confidence to accept you as a substitute when I really want to take action against Singer?"

Standing up, Chios stepped in front of Changxiu.

"Who told you that after I vented on you, I won't try to do something to Singer?" She reached out to grab her throat and pressed hard on the tatami.

bump!

"Cough cough!" Niwa Chohide coughed in pain, but his blue eyes were still stubbornly staring at the young man in front of him, enduring the other party's atrocities without saying a word.

Chios pinched her hand and relaxed a little, leaned close to her ear and said:

"Is it because His Highness Nobuna is coming?"

Changxiu's pupils suddenly contracted.

(he knows!?)

"Heh..." Chios chuckled, and said something that was either a compliment or a sarcasm:

"How can a smart woman like you just seduce me with her beauty and end it."

"Indeed, Inuchiyo saw the conversation I was waiting in front of the palace..." Now that Chios had guessed her layout, Nagahide answered honestly:

"I know that Inuchiyo is responsible for taking care of His Royal Highness tonight, and Her Royal Highness is very concerned about your affairs."

"What did the voice in your heart tell you?" Chios continued with a hint of anger in his tone:

"Haven't you ever thought that if I really can't bear the temptation and spoil you...It's hard for me to be witnessed by His Highness Xin Nai, but how should you face His Highness?"

"Would she believe in her rage that you're making such a sacrifice just for the sake of temptation?"

The two emotions of reprimand and worry were transmitted to Changxiu's mind through the low growl in the ear:

"The relationship between you and your ministers for many years has been ruined. His Highness Xinnai is suffering because of being betrayed by his retainers, and he can no longer trust anyone..."

"Stop talking..." Niwa Chohide closed his eyes and trembled.

"Your Highness's beautiful smile has since disappeared, all because of your doubts about me in your heart, and you are the initiator of everything!"

"do not talk!"

Changxiu yelled, but found that her voice had long been hoarse, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes uncontrollably, and the teardrops scattered on the tatami, leaving shallow dark marks.

She was never without confusion in her heart. Why did the slight uncertainty about Chios continue to magnify during the afternoon assessment process?

(It will be too late if you don't act, if you don't do something...) Such anxiety urged Changxiu to act recklessly.

He gave up relatively mild methods, such as hiring ninjas to collect information and observe his daily words and deeds... Instead, he went directly to the stage, as if he was desperately fighting to the death, and tested Chios in an extreme way.

Nobuna-sama will understand the essence of this man, and then...

(have no idea...)

I didn't even consider the cause and effect fully, so why did I do something that might hurt many people?

Such contradictions made Changxiu unable to think rationally as usual.

"I thought only Singer was an idiot, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid..." Chios retracted his hand pinching Changxiu, and wiped away the girl's tears, his tone suddenly became gentle.

"Try me, and don't use the method of hurting yourself."

A simple sentence, but it was like a heavy blow, hitting the bottom of Niwa Manchiyo's heart.

click...

The girl seemed to hear the crackling of something in her heart.

Seeing Changxiu's dazed expression, Chios felt a little settled.

(I won...)

Quest World took advantage of Niwa Nagahide's lack of trust in Chios in an attempt to undermine his growing popularity with the Oda family, as well as Oda Nobuna's recently formally burgeoning relationship.

(Then, it's just a matter of patching the root hole.)

At this moment, Chios noticed that the posture between himself and Changxiu was somewhat ambiguous, and quickly got up.

"Are you okay?" He stretched out his hand to Changxiu who was lying on his back.

"Yeah." Changxiu, who recovered from the trance, responded softly, did not reject Chios' kindness, and stood up holding the other's hand.

"..."

There was a moment of silence between the two, because Chios had already said what he needed to say, and the extra words were just superfluous, so he quietly waited for the other party to speak.

Changxiu's thoughts were confused for a while, and she opened her lips a few times, as if the words were stuck in her throat, and it was difficult to make up a complete sentence.

After nearly half a minute of staring at each other without words, it was Chios who broke the silence first:

"Sorry for being so rude to you just now."

Niwa Chohide shook his head slightly to show that he didn't care.

Her heart is not yet calm, but her doubts about the person in front of her no longer have the same sense of urgency as before.

"The banquet is over, you take Sheng Jia back, and let the proprietress take the maid away by the way."

How much can imagine Changxiu's messy mind now, Chios looked at the messy falling cherry blossoms, and felt that today's farce should also come to an end.

"...Okay...Although I'm a little late, but...I'm sorry..."

"Well, don't mind." Chios nodded slightly, and then moved his eyes to the table. In the warm water lacquered wooden box, seven porcelain jugs were quietly kept warm in the water.

In line with the principle of good wine not to be wasted, Chios will empty them alone tonight.

Although Chios' tone didn't care, Niwa Nagahide understood that what he did tonight would not only hurt the lord, his friends... and the man in front of him.

As far as the result is concerned, nothing happened. Nobuna will not be in pain, Singer will not be sad, and even Chios seems to have no intention of pursuing it.

However, this hurdle in my heart is hard to pass...
