One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 43 Will You Marry Me?

Matsurize got rid of the enthusiastic Uncle Abin, and quickly headed towards home.

Before Matsurize left at Uncle Abin's house, he discussed something with Uncle Abin.

Matsurize could feel Uncle Abin's kindness towards him, especially towards the special relationship between Matsurizawa and Ayane.

Matsurize told Uncle Abin everything he had heard secretly before that he couldn't understand.

Uncle Abin has also heard about the rumors about Matsurize and Ayane. After all, Xiaohe Village is small, and every little thing will be brought up to heaven.

Uncle Abin can see clearly that as long as Ayane and Matsurize continue to live together in such an unclear manner, there will be no less rumors.

On the contrary, Uncle Abin was a little confused by Matsurize's question, not knowing what Matsurize meant.

Uncle Abin didn't know that Matsurize didn't know anything about this man and woman.

Uncle Abin had no choice but to ask Matsurize to ask Ayane, but he couldn't control it anymore.

Matsurizawa returned to Ayane's house with a heavy heart. He has lived here for three months now, and he has already regarded this place as his home.

Matsurizawa handed over a borrowed bag of salt to Ayane who was busy in the kitchen.

Ayane had almost prepared the food, and the only thing missing was the salt. After Matsurize gave the salt to Ayane, Ayane didn't make Matsurize wait long, and came out with the food.

Ayane and Matsurizawa were eating dinner at the dinner table. Ayane found that there was something wrong with Matsurizawa's expression. Ayane took a closer look at Matsurizawa, and she was sure that Matsurizawa's expression was very wrong.

Ayane was sure that there must be something wrong with Matsurizawa, keeping it from herself, Ayane didn't rush to ask Matsurize.

Because at Ayane's house, there are still some rules when eating, and talking is not allowed during meals, unless it is something very important.

Matsurizawa hasn't figured out how to ask Ayane this question, and Matsurize doesn't know if Ayane knows about the rumors in the village.

This made Matsurize even more difficult to say.

The two finished their dinner in this weird atmosphere.

Matsurize was about to clean up the dishes, but Ayane stopped Matsurize and wanted to have a formal talk with Matsurize.

Matsurizawa sat down on the stool again, listening to Ayane's question.

I only heard Ayane say.

"Ozawa, what's the matter with you? You're worried. After you went out to borrow salt today, you changed when you came back. You're worried. If you have anything to say, don't hold it in your heart. Tell me."

This is the shortcoming of Matsurize. Whenever something happens, he can't hide it, and it will show on his face.

Matsurizawa heard Ayane talking to him so formally, so he could only talk to Ayane.

"Xiaoyin, on the way to Uncle Abin's house in the village today, I heard some gossip. Uncle Abin told me that. What he said was gossip.

I actually don't really understand why they say those gossips.

But I can still hear their malice and kindness, and I know they have no good intentions. "

Ayane couldn't understand what Matsurizawa said, and Ayane had never heard of the rumors circulating in the village until now.

This is actually caused by Ayane's aloof personality in front of outsiders. No one in the village dares to gossip with her in front of her, and she has no chance to hear others gossiping about her and Matsurize behind her back.

So Ayane asked Matsurizawa.

"Ozawa, tell me what rumors the people in the village are spreading."

When Matsurizawa heard Ayane's question, although he felt that it was not good to repeat these words in front of Ayane, but Matsurizawa could only tell Ayane truthfully when Ayane asked this question.

"It's them who are spreading rumors about the two of us."

Ayane interrupted suddenly and said.

"Our rumor?"

It was the first time Ayane heard that the people in the village were spreading rumors about herself and Matsurizawa, and Ayane became anxious.

When Ayane was alone and helpless when she was a child, some idlers in the village also compiled some out-of-the-box rumors about her.

This is also when Ayane returned to her ancestral business and became the only blacksmith in the village, she had a little right to speak in the village, and after gaining a little status, she never heard any crazy talk about her again.

After so many years, this rumor against her has risen again.

Ayane would like to hear what Matsurize said about the gossip about the two of them?
Matsurizawa recalled the rumors about himself and Ayane, and said to Ayane.

"It means why we live together, Xiaoyin, it's wrong for you to take me in for so long, and we don't know each other well now, etc."

Matsurizawa organized the language, and it was not as ugly as the villagers said, so he briefly introduced Ayane.

It was only then that Ayane knew what the rumor was, and Ayane had already expected it.

Ayane has always been a woman who dares to love and hate, she never hides it, she said to Matsurize.

"Well, I have a way to solve this problem, Ozawa, do you want to know?"

Matsurizawa originally expected that Ayane would be angry, what would happen, but he was not prepared for Ayane to ask him such a question.

Although Matsurizawa didn't quite understand why the villagers talked about his relationship with Ayane so much.

Kesong Rize also knew that this matter would not be resolved so easily.

This is the first time for Ayane to hear that there is a way out, Matsurizawa can't understand.

What Matsurizawa doesn't know is that Ayane's principles of life and work cannot be flinched, and she will not compromise with others.

Just like when Ayane grows up, she won't stop living in Xiaohe Village just because she is not well-known in the village.

Matsurizawa didn't know why Ayane had come to ask herself since she had figured out a solution.

Matsurizawa could only ask Ayane.

"Xiaoyin, of course I want to get rid of this trouble. Although I don't quite understand why they want to gossip about us, I want to get rid of these gossips."

Ayane then said something that Matsurizawa couldn't figure out.

"Ozawa, will you marry me?"

Matsurizawa couldn't figure out why he was asked to marry Ayane, and how this would solve the rumors.

Seeing Matsurizawa standing there in a daze, Ayane said to Matsurizawa again.

"Matsurize, would you like to marry me?"

Matsurizawa asked stupidly.

"Xiaoyin, will marrying you solve the current gossip?"

Ayane was very disappointed, disappointed that such words would come out of Matsurizawa's mouth.

But Ayane thought about it, after all, Matsurizawa's own state is quite special now, and he cannot be treated with common sense.

Ayane still doesn't want to give up this marriage so easily.
