I rely on myself

Chapter 449 A Sudden Invitation

"Hey! Hey, boy, why are you standing here alone? It's rare that you think our party is fun, so do you want to join us? Sure, after all, it's more lively with more people, ahahahahahaha......"

"who!?"

Kusanagi Godou was obviously startled by the sudden voice coming from behind him.

Although he is not proficient in martial arts and does not know any magic, his five senses have made a qualitative leap since he became a godslayer, coupled with his sharp intuition like a wild animal.

If someone really wanted to approach from behind without being noticed, it would be almost impossible, but this situation has now occurred, which undoubtedly frightened Kusanagi Godou so much that cold sweats broke out on his back.

Kusanagi Godou quickly turned his head and looked behind him, only to see an extremely burly figure standing behind him.

He was wearing a dark jacket with a windbreaker on the outside. He had a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle's and a lot of stubble on his chin, which made him look unyielding.

Logically speaking, such attire and figure should give people a fierce atmosphere, but these do not appear on this person. Instead, he gives people a hearty and heroic feeling.

At the same time, according to Kusanagi Godou's observation, the other party is at least 40 years old, and the first impression he gives is that of an uncle.

After being startled, Kusanagi Godou quickly came to his senses and noticed what the other party had just said. He asked in disbelief, "Do you mean to invite me?"

These hesitant words were responded to instantly.

"Isn't this a matter of course? I've already told you directly, are you going to invite anyone else? Ahahahaha... Okay, stop being so fussy, come on!"

Having said that, the middle-aged man, whose identity was unknown, didn't wait for Kusanagi Godou to give any reply, but directly pushed him with one hand and walked towards the barbecue party.

“…Wait a minute!”

Although he didn't react at first, after pushing a few steps, Kusanagi Godou came to his senses in an instant and wanted to refuse the other party's invitation.

It's not that I feel the other party has any ill intentions, I just feel embarrassed.

After all, being suddenly invited to a party out of nowhere was somewhat troubling for a boy like Kusanagi Godou who considered himself an ordinary boy, so he wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly——————

Originally, Kusanagi Godou wanted to stop his body by force. After all, even if he didn't use his power, his physical ability as a godslayer was not comparable to that of ordinary people. At least ordinary people, even ordinary magicians, could not move his body without using special means.

Kusanagi Godou wanted to use this method to secretly tell the other party about his unusualness, but an astonishing scene occurred.

Even if Kusanagi Godou wanted to stop himself by force, the big hand behind him burst out with even greater force, causing his body to be pushed again, and he involuntarily took a few steps forward.

Moreover, this sudden burst of power was not only powerful, but also manipulated very skillfully.

Apart from pushing Kusanagi Godou's body, it did not cause any impact on the surroundings. It did not produce any loud noise, nor did it have any impact on Kusanagi Godou's body. It just pushed his body very gently.

"!!!"

Faced with this situation, Kusanagi Godou was also surprised again, and had more thoughts about the uncle behind him. At the same time, he gave up the idea of ​​refusing and started walking on his own. Looking at this scene, the uncle behind Kusanagi Godou couldn't help but flash a smile in his eyes.

As the two approached, they were naturally spotted by everyone at the party. As soon as they approached, a large number of greetings came pouring in:

"Welcome back, Captain!"

"Captain is too slow. It's not far from here to the convenience store, but it took so long..."

"That's right, Captain, you're so slow, could it be that you're trying to avoid the bar you owed?"

"What? That's what you did wrong, Captain. Come on! Drink three cups as punishment."

"You guys, shut up! Really... Captain, you are indeed a little slow this time. Could it be related to this little brother next to you?"

..............................

Various greetings mixed together and flooded towards Kusanagi Kotō and the others, but Kusanagi Kotō did not feel any dissatisfaction from these words, only the feeling of teasing and joking between friends and brothers.

He instantly realized that the group of people in front of him had a very deep trust in the uncle behind him, just like a family member.

Regardless of what Kusanagi Godou was thinking, he responded to the greetings from his friends with a bright smile, "Ah, sorry, sorry, I'm a little late, but there's nothing I can do about it. After all, this place is quite far from the convenience store, and it took me a little longer to invite this little brother, so I'm late."

After the uncle briefly explained the reason for being late, everyone quickly forgave him. It would be better to say that there was no question of forgiveness or non-forgiveness, it was just that the conversation between them was like that.

As everyone stopped caring about it, the uncle took Kusanagi Godou and joined the barbecue party directly.

At this time, Kusanagi Godou was sitting with a large plate of barbecue on the table in front of him. Every skewer looked delicious.

If it were any other time, he would not be polite and would have already started eating. But now that he hadn't figured out what was going on, he really had no appetite, so he hesitated to start.

"What? Are you still embarrassed even at this point? You're really shy, little brother. Hahahaha..."

The culprit who caused Kusanagi Godou to be in this state was sitting directly opposite him, and was also holding a large plate of delicious-looking barbecue, which was different from Kusanagi Godou's embarrassment.

The uncle started to eat with big mouthfuls, looking like he was enjoying it very much.

Seeing the uncle enjoying himself, Kusanagi Godou stared at him with dead eyes, but it had no effect at all. In the end, he spoke first.

"… After all, who made me look so embarrassed? And this is obviously a private party. If a stranger is dragged in for no reason, anyone would feel embarrassed!"

A series of complaints came out of Kusanagi Godou's mouth in extremely fluent words, which showed how broken his mentality was at the moment.

However, after complaining for a while to ease his inner emotions, Kusanagi Godou suddenly said seriously: "Although it's a little late, uncle, you should introduce yourself."
