Super Soldier

Chapter 348 The Pretentious Princess Nami

Seeing Xiao Bing, Princess Nami immediately jumped down happily, and then told the people around her, “Go and get the reward from the chief executive. He will give each of you 10,000 yuan.”

After she finished speaking, Princess Nami walked happily over to Xiao Bing and said, “You’re back so soon? New clothes? It looks good. Let’s go shopping.”

Xiao Bing said calmly, “My pleasure.”

Fukuda Ogawa chased them from behind and said, “Her Royal Highness, would you like me to come along so that I can protect you?”

Princess Nami glanced at Fukuda Ogawa and said angrily, “What danger could I possibly encounter when I go shopping. I have Aoki-kun, so why do you have to follow us?”

Seeing that Princess Nami was getting angry, Fukuda Ogawa said hurriedly, “Fine, I won’t go. Have a good time, Your Royal Highness.”

Princess Nami beamed and said, “Let’s go, Aoki-kun.”

Xiao Bing and Princess Nami walked toward the car park, together. He could feel Fukuda Ogawa giving him a hostile look, but Xiao Bing did not care. Fukuda Ogawa was not a threat to him at all.

After getting into the car, Xiao Bing had an angry expression on his face. He turned around to look coldly at Princess Nami. Princess Nami was scared, as she sat in the passenger seat, and asked, “What happened?”

Xiao Bing said lightly, “Nothing, Your Royal Highness seemed so happy just now!”

“I…” Princess Nami seemed to understand something and hurriedly explained, “I was not bullying them. They did not refuse, and I gave them money.”

Xiao Bing thought for a while. Princess Nami had been pampered ever since she was a child. It was not easy for her to change, and he could not force her. Maybe in Princess Nami’s mind, these people were happy to play with her. She had a good time, and these people were paid, so they should be okay with that. She was a spoilt child, but she did not hurt anyone. He should not be too harsh on her.

Xiao Bing’s expression softened as he started the car, then he sighed and said, “I still want to tell you something.”

Princess Nami hurriedly said, “Go ahead, Aoki-kun. I like listening to you the most.”

“Some things can be bought with money, but some things can’t. For example, just now, you treated people like horses and then gave them some money. You thought this was a fair trade, but you did not know if they were willing to do that for money. For the people who don’t like to be a horse, your so-called fairness is a violation of his or her dignity. You can think about it when you are back in your own place. If it was you, would you feel humiliated? You should know that there is something in this world called dignity.”

Princess Nami thought for a while, but she still could not fully understand. She said, “Oh, I won’t ask them to play this game with me anymore then.”

Xiao Bing smiled. “I know you don’t understand, but it doesn’t matter. As long as you are willing to try to change, it is already a huge improvement. Let’s go, I will accompany you to go shopping. Where should we go?”

“Go to the Ginza shopping street. I want to buy some clothes. Oh, the most important thing is I have not seen my two grandpas for a long time. I want you to accompany me to pick gifts for them.”

Xiao Bing’s eyes lighted up and he asked, “Are we going to the imperial palace tomorrow?”

“Yes, my… my ass is almost healed already, and we can go tomorrow.”

Oh, finally he could start taking action.

The last time, Xiao Bing sneaked into the imperial palace, he was afraid he would be exposed, so he left quickly. This time, he would be going with the princess, and he hoped that he could find some clues.

Xiao Bing had been to Ginza before. It was one of the most famous pedestrian streets in the world, and was one of the three famous bustling centers. The other two were the Champs Elysees in Paris and the fifth street in New York. Almost every tourist who came to Jingdong, would come to Ginza.

Xiao Bing chose to meet with the information system in Ginza because it was a bustling place. There were too many people here, so he could easily get rid of the tails without any problems.

At this time, Xiao Bing could finally enjoy himself on this trip, because it was a completely different feeling, from the last time he was here. He was with Princess Nami, and there were no political tasks at hand.

Xiao Bing drove the car into a parking lot in the square, and walked out with Princess Nami.

“Aoki-kun, do you know what my grandfather likes, at his age? My grandfather is ninety-nine years old.”

Xiao Bing asked, “You should know better than me. Haven’t you bought any gifts for your grandpa before?”

“Barely.” Princess Nami said a little embarrassedly, “After you criticized me two days ago, I realized that I have not done enough before, so I want to buy him a gift.”

It looked as if Princess Nami had really began to change, although she was still lacking in awareness in certain areas, but it was already a huge improvement. Xiao Bing felt relieved and he was going to help her. After thinking about it carefully, he asked, “What is your grandpa’s favorite hobby?”

“I don’t know… Oh, my grandpa likes Shudao. He said that Shudao can increase his understanding of the martial arts, and he often writes. If the emperor invited any calligrapher to the imperial palace as a guest, he would definitely introduce them to my grandfather. I heard that my grandfather was once a master of calligraphy. ”

Xiao Bing grunted and nodded. It seemed that Iza Kawatani had indeed reached a certain level in martial arts, otherwise it would be impossible to comprehend martial arts through calligraphy. The so-called Shudao was actually calligraphy, wherein people usually wrote with the brush.

Princess Nami’s eyes lighted up and she asked, “So we should buy some calligraphy supplies?”

“Of course.” Xiao Bing smiled. “This gift is easy to find. Let’s go directly to the most famous calligraphy and painting shop on this street, and just buy two pieces of work. Each of your grandpas will get one.”

“Okay, the emperor likes Shudao too. But I don’t know where we can buy it…”

After Princess Nami spoke, Xiao Bing stopped two middle-aged people passing by. After asking them, he thanked them and then pointed forward. “Let’s go, it is only 20 minutes’ way and we can walk slowly. But do you feel stressed walking with me? ”

Princess Nami asked blankly, “Why would it be stressful?”

“Look at the men around us, who are peeking at me.”

The two middle-aged people whom they had just made inquiries with, were peeping at Princess Nami as they walked. They collided directly with some young people, who were walking toward them, because they were all looking at Princess Nami and not paying attention to where they were going. They fell and started to quarrel fiercely.

All the other passers-by watched Princess Nami as they were walking, even some women could not help looking at her. There were couples or lovers who started quarreling, because their men could not take their eyes off Princess Nami.

Princess Nami was the most beautiful woman in Country R. It was natural for her to cause such an sensation. Xiao Bing regretted having forgotten to remind Princess Nami to cover her face with a hat, before coming out. If she walked on the street every day, how many traffic accidents would happen? Fortunately, this was a pedestrian street and there were no cars on the street…

Only then did Princess Nami understand what Xiao Bing meant. Those people were looking at her, but Xiao Bing said that they were watching him. Princess Nami could not help giggling and said, “Well, Aoki-kun is so attractive that many men are peeping at you too.”

As she smiled, the people were immediately stunned. Xiao Bing had to walk hurriedly away with her.

“Hey, next time when you go out, I suggest you wear a big hat and big glasses to prevent any incidents like these, from happening.”

Princess Nami said innocently, “I did not ask them to watch me and I am used to it.”

Xiao Bing smiled bitterly. “If you don’t listen to me next time, I won’t go out with you.”

Princess Nami stuck her tongue out and said, “Okay, I will cover myself up before coming out, in the future.”

Although he received Princess Nami’s assurance, Xiao Bing suddenly thought that he would not stay in Country R for long. If he could find the whereabouts of the two people tomorrow, he might be able to return to Huaxia in a few days. Everything would depend on the progress of the mission. This time since he could stay with the first beauty of Country R, it was a good mission for him.

Xiao Bing finally could not stand the stares of the people around him. People were gawking at them, no matter where they walked to, so he had to buy a big hat and big sunglasses at a shop, on the way. He gave them to Princess Nami and asked her to put them on. Princess Nami happily took them, and said in amusement, “Aoki-kun.”

“Yep?”

“I will always keep these two things well. These are your first gifts to me.”

Xiao Bing stuttered and didn’t say anything. He knew that the princess had a good impression of him, but it was impossible for them to be together. Xiao Bing wanted to remind her, but thinking of her personality, she would soon find another person and forget him soon. After all, he was the first person who dared to criticize her, and she only felt curious about him. Like Eguchi Nakayama, whom she played well with, after he disappeared, she forgot about him easily. After he returned to Huaxia, she would forget about him in two days.

Thinking of this, Xiao Bing naturally did not have too much worry. After Princess Nami dressed up, covering her face, although she still attracted some attention, it was better than just now. They soon came to the largest painting and calligraphy shop on the pedestrian street, and then walked in.
