Chapter 240: A friend’s concern [2]
"Yeah! That’s right, human! Give Coco a weapon to protect herself from the bad people!" Lala cheered from the back.
But I have the unbreakable hoe with me, Lala! Coco hissed in her mind as she forced a polite smile in her face, clutching the butchering knife tightly and closely to her chest.
She doesn’t want to drop the knife, her feet would be the victim of the sharp edges if she were to drop it accidentally.
".. That’s rather brutal, don’t you think?" Coco laughed, forced and nervous, as she darted her gaze away from the butcher, "I don’t think I’ll be needing such a lethal weapon.. I already have a trusty weapon with me anyway."
"And where is this trusty weapon of yours?" Renaldo asked, shifting his eyes away from Coco’s frame to look around the interior of the butcher shop.
"There’s no trusty weapon except for the butchering knives of my husband, Coco." Jacques said, backing Renaldo’s statement with her own as she stepped closer to Coco, "Why don’t you go and carry that knife with you? I’m sure the village chief will understand."
"Let’s go and let them see that knife, Coco!" Lala exclaimed, agreeing with Jacques’ and Renaldo’s wishes for Coco to carry the knife.
"But seeing this knife is like me threatening the guards sent by the main city’s guard caption, right? I don’t want any conflict to arise between me and them." Coco rebutted Renaldo’s, Jacques’, and Lala’s wishes for her to bring the knife with her.
My fist is enough to kill monsters! I don’t need a knife because it will only make the scene bloody! Coco thought to herself, tightening her grip on the butchering knife’s handle.
