Bucky's body twitched twice against the wall before slowly collapsing to the ground.
Tushan glanced at him indifferently and said, "I won't bother asking why you're here, but from now on, I hope you won't seek trouble again."
With that, he didn't care whether the dazed Bucky on the ground heard him or not. He stepped forward, gently picked up Nami, and walked out slowly.
Inside, Mochi and Cabaji didn't dare make a sound.
From the scene where Tushan casually flung Bucky away, the two had already understood why Bucky was always wary of him.
Now, they didn't dare say more and instinctively made way.
"Eh? What's going on now?"
Nami, who was suddenly picked up, was utterly confused.
However, looking at Tushan, who was so handsome, her inner anxiety quickly dissipated.
"With such strength and good looks..."
"Maybe he can help me—"
Nami murmured to herself.
She allowed the unfamiliar Tushan to carry her away.
"But I still need to figure out what this guy is all about!"
...
Not long after Tushan left.
Bucky, who had been lying in front of the treasure room, suddenly jumped up.
Touching his nose, which was swollen like a light bulb, he pointed into the distance, cursing under his breath.
However, he didn't dare to name names.
"It seems that guy isn't after the treasure here."
"Then we can rest assured."
Mochi and Cabaji spoke slowly.
"From what he said, it seems he's leaving soon, so this place will still be ours."
"Though it's baffling, at least we didn't lose anything..."
"Idiots!!"
Bucky suddenly shouted, interrupting them.
"That guy isn't interested in all the treasure here. Guess what kind of tempting treasure he's after..."
"As for that woman..."
"Hmph, Tushan probably thinks that woman is useful. Really, if he wanted something, wouldn't it be perfect to cooperate with the great Bucky!"
Tushan's deliberate wait for Nami in this place was quickly interpreted by Bucky as a 'search for a partner.'
After all, he couldn't believe that someone with Tushan's strength would just be here looking for women...
As the strategist of the team, Cabaji was a bit sharper.
Hearing Bucky's analysis, he pondered for a moment.
Then he quickly clapped his hands.
"You're right!"
"But since he didn't mention anything to us and even made those threatening remarks..."
"He probably doesn't want us involved!"
Bucky sneered and said in a deep voice, "Hmph... even if he said that, in the face of an incredible treasure, how could I stop?"
"But with someone like him around, what should we do?"
Looking at Mochi, who spoke up, Bucky was silent for a moment, then said, "Just follow him... there will always be an opportunity!"
...
Tushan carried Nami, heading towards his temporary residence.
Nami, initially calm, gradually grew worried and began trying to break free from Tushan's embrace.
"I say, who exactly are you? Why were you in that place, and how long do you plan to hold me?!"
"Nami, you have quite a few questions. Perhaps we need a quiet environment to answer them slowly."
Feeling the soft figure in his arms, Tushan smiled indulgently.
Looking at the handsome face, so different from when he faced Bucky, Nami was momentarily stunned.
But she quickly regained her composure.
"Hey! No matter what, put me down already!"
"I'm not as frivolous as I look!!"
"I know."
Tushan replied softly, but his arms holding Nami were like iron, unmoved by her struggles.
"Damn... this guy's strength is terrifying!"
"Fine, let's see what this strange guy plans to do..."
Nami snorted coldly, finally giving up her futile resistance.
Feeling Nami suddenly become as docile as a kitten, Tushan couldn't help but feel a bit ticklish inside.
His hands holding her began to fidget.
...
"Ah!! Get your hands off!!"
"You scoundrel!! You're not a good person after all!!"
"I told you I'm not that kind of frivolous woman!!"
Nami's face turned livid, unable to break free, she could only scold him repeatedly.
Tushan withdrew his hand, seemingly stopping his antics.
However, the gentlemanly serious expression on his face made Nami's face darken, her mouth twitching violently...
"This bastard...!!"
Nami's worries didn't last long.
Tushan soon brought her into a room.
Inside, Makino was tidying up, having just woken up.
As soon as they met, the two women locked eyes, both looking puzzled.
[Nami: Is this woman also brought here by this guy?!]
[Makino: What did Tushan do to this disheveled girl??!]
Both were thinking to themselves.
Tushan suddenly stepped forward, introducing softly to Makino, "Makino, this is Nami. I hope you two can get along like sisters."
Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Makino's eyes, and she sighed softly.
"So, you've found a new one so quickly?"
"What new or old, how unpleasant. No matter what, my love for you, Makino, is absolutely sincere~"
Tushan shamelessly pinched Makino's cheek.
Makino sighed again, her gaze passing over Tushan to scrutinize the disheveled Nami, who looked as if she'd been through something inhuman.
"But Tushan."
"I don't mind you having other women."
"But if you're using this method to acquire women... then I might have misjudged you!"
"Huh...?"
Makino's sudden coldness left Tushan stunned. He glanced back at Nami, who had failed in her 'honey trap.'
At this moment, she looked just like a poor little girl who had been taken advantage of...
"No, no, no! Makino, you've misunderstood!"
"Nami, she..."
"She was made like this by Bucky's gang!"
Tushan quickly explained.
Although Nami's appearance had nothing to do with Bucky.
But this was far more believable than saying 'Nami dressed herself like this'!
