Chapter 418 Galala Gator, Coming Clean
Hearing that Rindo still didn't want to leave, Hakuto's forehead darkened with frustration. He said to her, "You need to understand that if I hadn't arrived in time this time, you would already be dead. Just one or two minutes later, and you would have been finished. Is this a place you can come to?"
Rindo looked a bit embarrassed, but she stubbornly said, "No. I still have unfinished business to complete. So I can't leave now."
Seeing her like this, Hakuto didn't know what to say, 'Did she have no sense of her own strength?'
"What exactly do you want to do on this island?"
Hakuto asked helplessly.
"I just want to hunt a monster. The reason I'm in such a mess is because of that monster. If it weren't for that monster, I wouldn't have almost died earlier."
As she spoke, a flash of anger appeared in Rindo's eyes. She clearly hated that monster to the bone. Hakuto had no choice but to say, "Fine. I'll help you hunt it. After we deal with it, we'll leave."
"Okay!"
Rindo's eyes lit up. If Hakuto was willing to help, this matter would be much simpler.
"Now tell me, what kind of monster are you talking about?"
"It's an unprecedentedly huge crocodile. Even one of its teeth is taller than me."
After hearing what Rindo said, Hakuto immediately knew which one she was talking about.
"The Galala Gator. The overlord of this island. You actually encountered the Galala Gator and managed to get away. You were incredibly lucky. If you hadn't escaped, you'd probably just be fragments in the Galala Gator's feces by now."
By this world's classification, the Galala Gator was at least at the "Demon" level. For Rindo to escape from it was incredibly fortunate.
The corner of Rindo's mouth twitched, 'Couldn't this guy talk properly? What did he mean by turning into crocodile feces? If you couldn't speak nicely, you shouldn't speak at all.'
Hakuto didn't care what Rindo was thinking. He directly said, "Alright, let's go. I'll take you to kill that Galala Gator, and then we need to get back quickly. Nene is very worried about you. If she hadn't called, I wouldn't have even known you came here."
Somehow, Rindo asked Hakuto, "And what about you? Were you worried about me?"
Looking at Rindo, Hakuto was silent for a good while, then said, "You're crazy."
Rindo couldn't help but grit her teeth. This bastard Hakuto was a true straight man. Would it kill him to say he was worried at a time like this?
Angry, Rindo walked ahead with her head down, but Hakuto's words directly broke her defenses. "The Galala Gator isn't over there!"
She turned her head and glared at Hakuto, gritting her teeth. Then she couldn't help asking, "If it were Nene in this situation, would you be like this too?"
"Comparing like this isn't good for you. And the relationship between Nene and me isn't like that."
Although there was some ambiguity between Hakuto and Nene, it was far from what Rindo suggested.
So Hakuto directly denied what Rindo said.
Rindo gave a knowing smile. "Do you think you're funny? You know very well what your relationship with Nene is. If it weren't for you, how could Nene have rejected the blind dates arranged by her family?"
"The Kinokuni Family arranged blind dates for Nene?"
"To protect you, Nene rejected the blind dates arranged by her family. And you didn't even know about this. I really feel it's not worth it for Nene."
Hakuto didn't say anything to Rindo, but inside, turbulent waves were crashing.
[If Kobayashi Rindo hadn't reminded me, I probably would never have known that Nene rejected her family blind dates because of me. But does Nene like me? Or is she just using me as a shield and an excuse?]
Rindo looked at Hakuto and felt a bit speechless, 'This guy was hopeless.'
Hakuto led Rindo to a lake. Rindo's expression became serious.
"Is this lake where that crocodile lives?"
Just as Hakuto was speaking, a huge splash erupted from the lake. Then, a giant snake rose up from the water. But the next moment, its body crashed heavily onto the water's surface, and most of its body fell onto the shore.
Looking at this giant snake-like creature, over two meters thick and dozens of meters long, Rindo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This thing was too huge. If she had encountered this before, she probably couldn't have escaped at all.
But before Rindo could relax, a giant, purple-red crocodile with eight legs crawled out of the water. Then, the next moment, this crocodile's gaze locked onto Hakuto and Rindo.
The Galala Gator remembered Rindo, the prey that had escaped from its mouth. Now that the prey had returned, the Galala Gator wouldn't hold back.
"What gave you the courage?"
The Da Xia Long Que appeared in Hakuto's hand. He casually swung the blade, and instantly, the Galala Gator's head was cut off.
Looking at the decapitated Galala Gator, Rindo felt terrible. She had almost become this crocodile's feces, yet Hakuto had killed it with a single casual strike. She suddenly felt awful.
"Alright. We can go back now."
Hakuto put the entire Galala Gator and the swamp snake into his storage space, then said to Rindo.
"Before we go back, there's one thing we need to clarify."
Rindo looked at Hakuto. "Earlier, you saw everything, didn't you?"
Hakuto's eyelids twitched. He defended himself, "I did that to save you, to stop the bleeding."
"But you saw it, right?"
