Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 348 Dangerous City X Ukiyo-e!

   April 9th, evening.

   King's District, Maizi Prefecture.

  After class, Higashinohara stood at the gate of the city's hottest Senator Kenneth's mansion, and glanced at this private mansion covering an area of ​​about one hectare.

  A minute ago, he handed over the letter that Tokugawa Kuritora entrusted him to bring through the guard.

   The guards looked at Higashinohara warily at first, but maybe Higashinohara saw the young and tender, harmless humans and animals, and was afraid of delaying things and being held accountable.

   After all, Higashinohara waited for him outside the door, and handed the letter in by himself.

   At this moment, Higashinohara looked around.

  He walked all the way after getting out of the car. The entire private mansion did not have any architectural signs of the residential area, and the seemingly simple location facilities contained restrained luxury.

  Although there is no such thing as the mountains and rivers favored by the aristocrats of Shangjing Tianren, the averted sight of scattered pedestrians passing by and the faint sense of oppression in the air made Higashinohara unconsciously smell a breath of power.

  Probably only the residences of these big figures who often appear on TV can fill the air with such a breath.

   Higashinohara couldn't help thinking.

   After a while, the previous guard came back with something in his hand.

   Higashinohara glanced at it from a distance, and found that it was not the envelope he handed in earlier, so he frowned slightly, not knowing what the current scene was.

   "Here's an invitation for tomorrow's birthday dinner."

   After the guard came out, he glanced at Higashinohara who was still calm after waiting for a long time. He couldn't help admiring the other party's patience, and couldn't help but add another sentence:

   "Tomorrow night is Senator Kenneth's daughter's birthday dinner. Senator Kenneth has read the letter you forwarded. He said that if you have other questions, he would be happy to communicate with you at tomorrow's birthday dinner."

   Birthday dinner?

   Higashinohara looked down at the invitation in the guard's hand.

  The letters that Tokugawa Kuritora handed over to him were too important, almost related to the life and death of Wano Country, so Higashinohara was entrusted to personally deliver them and bring a reply.

   Higashinohara agreed to Tokugawa Kuritora's request to deliver these letters one by one based on the premise of simply "delivering letters".

   But listening to what the guard said right now, Senator Kenneth did not give Wano any reply after reading the letter, but instead invited him to his daughter's birthday dinner tomorrow.

  Of course Higashinohara would not take the invitations of these politicians too simply.

  Is there anything else the other party wants to talk about in person?

   After hesitating for a moment, Higashinohara smiled and thanked the guard brother, took the invitation from the other party, turned around and walked outside the mansion.

   Just this one time.

  For Miri Nishimaru's sake.

   Higashinohara said to himself in his heart.

  If the next few letters are delivered, the other party also does not give a reply after reading them.

  Then Higashinohara had no choice but to make a phone call and tell Tokugawa Kuritora the truth.

   On the second day after arriving in the United States of Tagos, Higashinohara sent the first letter entrusted by Tokugawa Kuritora, but has not yet received a definite answer.

  Back to the dormitory at night, Higashinohara received a call from Senior Sister Fanny.

  There was a sizzling electric noise on the other end of the phone, it sounded like the call came from a narrow, dark room.

  Fanny said she was thanking Higashinohara and saying she was safe, but her trembling tone did not sound very safe.

   Higashinohara walked to the balcony of the dormitory and looked back at the dormitory. The others didn't notice him, and they were all on the phone at their own and at home in Wano country.

  Last night, Zhuyuannan and his group were newcomers and experienced the impact of such a horrible incident, which made everyone's reflex arc of homesickness stretched out.

   When I realized it today, almost the entire dormitory called home after school.

  The corner of Higashinohara, who was holding the mobile phone, couldn't help but curl his mouth slightly. Of course he knew that Sister Fanny's call was not a so-called report of safety.

  She was probably shivering alone while avoiding pursuit, and remembered the number Higashinohara had given him in the morning, saying that she could call him anytime if she had any difficulties, so she wanted to call and try.

   It's just that Higashinohara is not very good at comforting people.

  After Senior Sister Fanny asked "Is there time to call him if he is arrested by the Judgment Division", Higashinohara pondered for two seconds and said, "It is still too late to help with the will."

  Fanny World on the other end of the phone choked, and almost cried "Wow" on the spot.

   covered his mouth tightly again.

   Higashinohara also realized that he had said something wrong.

   In the following time, it was a good call to appease Senior Sister Fanny, who was trying not to let herself cry out loud, to calm down, and then she was able to hang up the phone before going to bed.

  The next day, April 10th.

  The day after everyone from Takehara South Academy arrived at Stafford Private Great Sword Academy.

   Today is the weekend holiday, but as a boarding school, Stafford will not miss the morning training.

  Although everyone in the dormitory is not used to the various rules and frameworks of Stafford.

  But when they thought that this was only the beginning of the next school year, they all struggled to get up.

   I have to say that the Stafford Private Great Sword Academy is still a student located in Maizi Mansion, the "City of Sin".

Higashinohara felt yesterday that after the terrorist attack of the pirates led by "Beasts" Negan that night, the atmosphere in the academy was a bit gloomy for a while. A large number of logistics remote calls comforted the family members, and occasionally met one or two people They also looked a little silent and desolate.

   Unexpectedly, one day later, when it was morning training this morning, the mental outlook of the students from the Stafford Private University who appeared in front of them can be said to be completely new.

On the field next to the morning exercise, it's time to warm up and laugh. It seems that the crisis that threatened the entire academy yesterday is not a big deal to them. The dead are gone, and everyone is using a brand new look Come face a new day.

  This kind of adaptability made him wonder for a while whether he should admire it or have other ideas.

  After the morning training, Higashinohara spent the next day in the Stafford library, looking for things that could help him from the vast amount of previous writings and discourses on the bookshelves.

  In the big class yesterday morning, the words of the old professor Albert seemed to open a door for Higashinohara, allowing him to see the outline of the [rules] from the [field].

   It’s obviously not enough to just have an outline. What Higashinohara has to do now is to help him fill in the outline through more writings and discussions of predecessors in the speed department.

  Speaking of which, after being in this world for more than a year, Higashinohara rarely had the opportunity to study the things in the book so seriously.

  But when he really focused on doing one thing, he found that time passed quickly.

   Arriving at the restaurant at noon, Higashinohara didn't go back to the dormitory or the cafeteria. He took out the breadsticks he brought from the restaurant in the morning and took out the cold for nothing, even if he had eaten lunch.

  In the afternoon, when he came back from sitting by the window, he suddenly realized that the outside of the library had darkened at some point.

  Looked down at the time on the watch.

Four p.m.

   Higashinohara was stunned for two seconds before realizing that it was not dark outside.

   But the sky was covered with lead clouds at some point, and the pattering rain fell from the thick clouds in the distant sky, lingering on the yellow lights that had just been turned on in the campus.

  It's almost time.

  He did not forget today's invitation.

  Higashi Nohara carefully chewed today's harvest in his heart, while packing up the books and putting them back on the shelf.

  Out of the library, Higashinohara went back to his dormitory and changed into the formal clothes his aunt Kolotia had prepared for him when he arrived, and went out to take a taxi with an umbrella between his hands.

  After spending about thirty minutes by car, Higashinohara arrived at the private mansion yesterday.

   When getting off the car, the rain was getting heavier, and the sewers on the side of the road were rushing. Higashinohara raised his leg and stepped into the stagnant water with one foot. He turned around and paid the driver in the front row.

   Immediately, he held up his umbrella.

  Following the guidance of the clearly arranged birthday party-themed street lights, he walked unhurriedly to the door of the private mansion that he visited once last night.

In front of the mansion, some aristocrats and senators who most people in the United States of Targos had only seen on TV wore reserved smiles on their faces, holding their female companions in gorgeous dresses dragging beside them, and behaved calmly. Talking and laughing, they handed over the invitation and walked into the mansion.

  Boom—!

  A white python suddenly crawled across the clouds in the sky, stretching Higashinohara's figure standing alone in the rain like a ghost.

  Compared to those big people who were invited,

   Higashinohara, who is alone holding an umbrella and surrounded by heavy rain, exudes a little lonely and melancholy breath.

  However, at this moment,

   Higashinohara squinted at the luxurious mansion in the dark sky as if it was about to be submerged by heavy rain, but inexplicably felt a feeling of looking at a lonely boat capsized in the raging waves at any time.

  Suddenly, a car horn sounded from behind Higashinohara, and two white gas lamps penetrated the rain curtain, stretching Higashinohara's shadow in the running water on the ground again.

   Higashinohara did not turn around.

   just drooped his eyes and silently moved out of the way.

  The car splashed water ten feet high.

  When passing by Higashinohara.

In the car, out of the corner of the eyes of the woman wearing black tulle in the back seat, the slender figure standing with her head bowed and holding an umbrella on the side of the road thoughtfully turned her head to look at the brightly lit mansion in front of her. Luxury cars.

  Should we talk about Ukiyo-e?

  The woman thought silently in her heart.

   There was something wrong at home today, so I went out twice.

   The update is slightly less, and it will be added tomorrow.
