Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 505 - Four Trucks of Goods!

That night, Kawayos.h.i.+ refused to drink a single gla.s.s of water before going to sleep, just in case Lu Shu would propose another round of urine-holding compet.i.tion with him…

Their afternoon conversation had left Kawayos.h.i.+ feeling uncomfortable for a long time. Speaking of which, he had never heard that this Yamada Akira was this annoying! Secretly he messaged his friend to inquire about Yamada.

After two hours, his friend had finally replied after asking those who used to be familiar with Yamada. Indeed, Yamada’s honesty had offended many, but it had also earned him Nogiwa Hakushun’s favor and recognition.

In fact, it was common that leaders preferred honest subordinates, for they would not have to worry about betrayals and unnecessary dramas.

And one had to admit that Nie Ting had made the right choice of posing Yamada’s role to Lu Shu.

Frankness tended to be a.s.sociated with irritating behaviors. Kawayos.h.i.+ dropped his suspicion upon seeing the message.

He believed that sooner or later he would be reemployed officially as a Head of Department, without the word “acting”.

By then, much trouble would have been saved with an honest person following him. That feeling could probably resonate with many leaders. And Kawayos.h.i.+ thought that people who were too perfect were dangerous.

Fortunately, Lu Shu was unaware of that. Otherwise, he would do his best to prove the difference between being irritating purposely and unintentionally due to straightforwardness.

Then, many days had pa.s.sed in peace, and both Kawayos.h.i.+ and Lu Shu were waiting for the reemployment of the former…

Everyday Kawayos.h.i.+ would call different girls to the warehouse and spend a range of time with them.

One day, it was done in as short as a few minutes. Out of curiosity, Lu Shu asked him why he was so fast.

That embarra.s.sed Kawayos.h.i.+. From that day onwards, he would insist the girls talk to him for two hours before they were allowed to leave… When they ran out of topics, it felt so d.a.m.ned awkward!

After two hours, Kawayos.h.i.+ checked his watch and finally walked out with a look of smug satisfaction. Lu Shu looked up into the sky, wondering how many days Kawayos.h.i.+ could keep the long, awkward conversations going…

“Aren’t you tired? Doing that everyday?” Lu Shu asked curiously, “After all you are no longer…”

But Kawayos.h.i.+ interrupted him. “I’m still young. Just over 30. They say I look like a student.”

Lu Shu studied him carefully, and suddenly found his excuse familiar because he had heard it in China too.

Nonetheless, the reality was not that simple.

Lu Shu pondered for two seconds before pointing out the truth. “You look like a student not because you are young, but that you look like a country b.u.mpkin!”

“From Nagaya Kawayos.h.i.+’s distress, +777…”

In fact, the comment focused more on one’s fas.h.i.+on taste instead of their appearance. It was normal for many to start the pursuit of trendiness after graduation, and some soph.o.m.ores, juniors, and even high school students had already begun to dress themselves up. But to the majority, students were the synonym of lacking in cla.s.s.

Ouch! Kawayos.h.i.+ decided not to continue with the conversation.

At this moment, they heard a loud roar of car engines, particularly jarring in the quiet, empty countryside. There were few residents in the region, except for a few factories.

Judging from the number of cars, they must have come for the warehouse, Lu Shu thought. But he was uncertain of who they were.

A rare look of seriousness appeared on Kawayos.h.i.+’s face. He even smoothed his clothes upon hearing the noise.

In less than five minutes, a car and four trucks stopped in front of the warehouse. As a young man alighted from the car, he shot Kawayos.h.i.+ a brief glimpse, which immediately made the latter scuttle forward in an obsequious manner. Kawayos.h.i.+ greeted him. “What brought you here, Kuriyama-san?”

“To transport four trucks of goods directly into the warehouse. I sent 20 men for you to order around. Teacher wants complete security of these goods. Understood? They won’t be stored for long, and will be carried away upon the official opening of the base next week.” As he spoke, he did not even look at Kawayos.h.i.+ again. Then, he took out a cigarette, and Kawayos.h.i.+ immediately lit it for him.

Lu Shu’s face lit up. That was Takas.h.i.+ma Tairatsu’s apprentice. Lu Shu could tell he was perhaps at the peak of Cla.s.s C.

But Kawayos.h.i.+ proved to be not as impressive as he boasted. He was just a lucky man who had happened to follow the right person. During their conversation, twenty men got off from the seven trucks. They locked the doors again before reporting to Kuriyama.

Upon seeing Lu Shu, Kuriyama asked, “Who is he?”

“He is Yamada Akira, mistaken to be a pro-Conservative just like me. He used to be Nogiwa Hakushun’s driver and a.s.sistant, but now he follows me. It’s alright,” Kawayos.h.i.+ replied with a grin. Then, he whispered to Kuriyama’s ear rapidly, “A mere Cla.s.s D beginner. No worries. I can kill him anytime if he causes any problems.”

Meanwhile, Lu Shu was awaiting further instructions beside them with an innocent look.

The young man paid no more attention to Lu Shu, because a small fry like him was not worthy of his attention. Then, Kuriyama turned to Kawayos.h.i.+ and said, “No errors with the goods are tolerable. Take care of yourself at night. Rest a.s.sured that Teacher did not abandon you and you will be a.s.signed the Head of Department for Security and Defense at the new base later on.”

“Thank you Kuriyama-san! Please extend my grat.i.tude to Lord Takas.h.i.+ma too!” Kawayos.h.i.+ was ecstatic. Unlike the security manager of some random hotels, that position had real power!

At this moment, someone shouted in j.a.panese from one of the four trucks, “d.a.m.n you, Takas.h.i.+ma! You are even willing to sacrifice your own people! We used to be your supporters!”

Lu Shu was dumbstruck. He did not expect the so-called goods to be Pract.i.tioners from the Collection of G.o.ds! What’s going on? Furthermore, judging from his words, he was likely to be a Jingoist!

Kuriyama’s face darkened. “Drive the trucks into the warehouse, Hurry up. Nagaya, this is not your first time doing this. You know the consequences if anything happens.”

“Please rest a.s.sured. I will not fail Lord Kuriyama’s and Lord Takas.h.i.+ma’s trust,” replied Kawayos.h.i.+, who made a deep, respectful bow.
