[Pirate] I want to abandon the captain every day

Counting the treasures is a quick task, and it can probably be sorted by jewelry and gold coins.

After counting, all these things were placed in Ninomiyaro Kazusa's room for her to keep, and everyone unanimously agreed.

When she walked into the kitchen, the three people who were eating bread immediately looked at her eagerly.

"Why do you only eat bread?" Ninomiyaro Kazusa took their hint and opened the cabinet to reveal various sweet, bitter, and spicy sauces inside: "Take it yourself."

"Yes." He replied weakly.

Next to the sink were the cups she had washed in the morning. Kazusa Ninomiya took out the coffee powder and said: "There is an island we have to pass before we reach the Seven Waters Capital. Then we will stop for a while and buy as much food as we like, or Just find the chef as soon as possible.”

"The Capital of Seven Waters?" Skar, holding a pile of jars in his arms, asked, "Are we going to change ships?"

Unless the hull is completely destroyed, pirate ships will generally not be replaced at will.

"This ship was stolen and only temporarily borrowed." Deus explained: "Is the money enough?"

In his mind, a ship was not cheap, and he didn't know how much money that treasure could be exchanged for.

"I should have known that Vale's head should have been taken away just now. It cost 100 million." Skar slapped the table in annoyance. How could he forget: "How about we go back?"

Ninomiyaro Kazusa, who heard their conversation, looked away for a moment before saying, "Don't worry about money. I will pay for it if it's not enough."

Ace, who had been concentrating on eating bread, immediately raised his head and said proudly: "I must be awesome."

"No, why are you so proud of Hesha's payment?" Deus complained unbearably: "Don't take it for granted."

The aroma of milk and coffee came together, and Michal, who went to help get the cup, suddenly noticed that the jar in Ninomiyaro Kazusa's hand had infant milk powder written on it.

Thinking that Ace and Deus had been drinking this every morning and night these past few days, Michal used a lot of effort not to laugh.

Ninomiyaro Kazusa, who was adding marshmallows to the coffee cup, looked at Michal who was suddenly shaking all over in confusion. Is the latte art she made so funny?

When he discovered that there was a line of small words under the baby saying "love from mother", Michal finally couldn't help it anymore: "Hahaha."

In the confusion on their faces, Michal, who had finally laughed enough, coughed, regained his usual calmness and said, "I'm a little happy to change the ship."

Isn't this a bit of a surprise? They didn't expect to make the teacher so happy, which further strengthened their idea of ​​​​changing ships.

"It's a pity that there was no one there at the time, otherwise Boss Ace would have put a reward on his head." Scarr said regretfully: "The reward for defeating Varley will not be low no matter what."

Ninomiyaro Kazusa put down the milk and said, "There was still someone there at the time, probably a reporter."

Michal thought of those words again when he saw the milk: "Pfft."

Everyone turned to look at him. It was better to change boats quickly and see how happy the teacher was.

After they leave, a small speedboat appears close to the sunken Pragira Pirates.

"How's it going? Is there anyone left alive?"

The man who swam out of the sea shook his head: "It's all broken pieces of the ship, and there are whirlpools below. I didn't dare to swim too deep."

Pulling him aboard, the man's companion said, "It's really impressive. A newcomer who just went to sea can defeat the Pragira Pirates. This is big news."

"In addition to the one who uses fire, they should also have an ability user." The man thought of the scene of the cannonball stopping in the air: "The ability is powerful and the means are ruthless."

They saw with their own eyes that the burning pirate ship was forced into the sea, and a huge whirlpool appeared without warning, sucking the pirate ship into pieces.

"Report the news immediately. This pirate group must pay close attention to it!"

"If I read it correctly, it should be the logo of the World Economic News." Kazusa Ninomiya held her chin with an innocent look on her face: "I thought you knew."

She had already discovered the hiding speedboat, and according to the route, Vallee should be heading towards the speedboat.

"How could I know?" Deus had a serious look on his face. He didn't expect to be hunted down so soon.

"Don't be so depressed, we are going to have a reward soon." Ace put his arm around Deus' shoulders and asked excitedly: "How much reward do you think I can get?"

"It's definitely higher than Vale." Skar patted his chest and said, "The first bounty is over 100 million. Boss Ace, you will definitely attract everyone's attention."

Why do they need so much attention when they are still a small pirate group? Deus looked at Ninomiyaro Kazusa in a state of collapse, only to see her smiling and nodding.

Deus's expression gradually became numb, and he forgot that Hesha was the most ruthless one, and whether she had planted mines below the deck.

"Teacher, that move you just made was so cool." Skar gestured with joyful gestures: "Cannonballs can be stopped."

Michal shook his head: "It's not me."

"Not you?" Looking past Deus, Skar looked at Ninomiyaro and Sato in disbelief: "Miss Kazusa?"

"I am also an esper." Kazusa Ninomiya, who had secretly created a large whirlpool on the seabed just now, said shyly, "It's just that my ability has no lethality and can only be used for defense."

"It's okay, it's okay." Scar quickly comforted: "Just leave the fight to us."

Who are you kidding? Even though such a big storm has separated, you are still here pretending to be weak.

After complaining, Deus felt that it seemed a little too quiet, and looked at Ace beside him doubtfully: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

He actually didn't talk to Hesha for more than four minutes, so he was sick.

"No." He couldn't say that Hesha had been looking at other people and was jealous of his partner.

She clearly said she would prefer him, but in the end she didn't even look at him. Ace, who just failed to attract attention on purpose, sighed inwardly with disappointment.

I've tried so hard to tease you, but you still ignore me.

The fallen hair blocked his eyes, and when Ace was about to push it away, his other hand stretched out to block his movement.

Ninomiyaro Kazusa took off the hairpins from her cuffs, picked up Ace's hair and pinned it to both sides, fixed it, and then talked to others.

I'm not looking at you, but I never stop looking at you.

That bit of disappointment turned into bubbles and was mixed with milk and drank. Ace held her hand hanging by her side from under the table, and the jam on the bread lost its original acidity.

Deus, who was leaning on the chair and fell asleep, was carried away by Skar. After confirming the next itinerary with Ninomiyaro Kazusa, Michal also left with the pointer.

"Ace."

Ace, who was in a daze, raised his head and saw Ninomiyaro Kazusa leaning over to touch his forehead. He swallowed and almost choked on the cheese in his mouth.

"Hesha?"

"Sure enough, it's a little hot." After putting it on his forehead and then touching it with his cheek, Ninomiyaro Kazusa saw blood oozing from the bandage on Ace's waist: "You feel so hot."

When she was talking to the teacher just now, Ninomiyaro Kazusa felt that the hand being held was getting hotter and hotter, so she quickly ended the conversation.

"I don't feel anything." Ace actually thought it might have nothing to do with the wound, but he didn't want to say it.

"Don't be brave. If you don't take good care of yourself, it will become an old disease in old age." Ace's current condition will definitely no longer allow him to sleep in a hammock, so Ninomiyaro Kazusa thought about finding a place for him to rest.

"It doesn't matter." Ace said with a flat, unconcerned expression, "Maybe I won't survive until then."

It was as if it was something other than himself he despised.

Ninomiyaro Kazusa was not excited about this answer: "Oh, that's not bad."

I turned into Ace with my eyes wide open, and you didn’t even try to persuade me?

"Anyway, I will always be with you, no matter where you go."

Her natural answer was beyond Ace's expectations and exceeded his expectations, leaving Ace unable to react.

Raising their hands to hold each other, Ninomiyaro Kazusa put the back of Ace's hand against her cheek, looked at him and asked with a smile: "Ace, don't you want to see me turn into a beautiful old lady?"

Looking into Ninomiyaro Kazusa's eyes, Ace imagined how she would look when she got older. There was no change except that she became more gentle and elegant.

"Our house should have a big fireplace, plant a lot of flowers in the yard, and connect the fields we cultivated outside. We can grow our favorite vegetables and give the endless supplies to our neighbors."

"It's best to have a river nearby. You can fish and take a nap next to me while I'm painting. When it gets dark, we'll hold hands and go home. Make a big pot of fish soup with the fish you caught. I'll cook for you. do the washing up."

"When winter comes and it snows heavily, we will sit in a rocking chair next to the fireplace and chat. There are a lot of things you like to eat next to us, and we will discuss when we can meet with Deus and the others again."

Ninomiyaro Kazusa slowed down her speech and described in detail how their house would be decorated, what flowers would be planted in the garden, and how the crops would be protected from insects.

They went to catch the wild beast that stole the fruit at night. Ace couldn't help but used his power to accidentally injure the neighbor's house. He was caught by Ninomiyaro Kazusa and went to the door to apologize.

Along with Ninomiyaro Kazuya's soft voice, images appeared in Ace's mind one after another.

He seemed to be dozing off by the river with his fishing rod. When he raised his head, he and Sha could seriously draw the river in front of him, the forest where they were walking, and him.

Ace yawned, and his hand reaching for the hat was empty. The hat that never left his body was blocking Hesha from the sun. He simply lay down and waited for her to finish the painting and call him home.

The sun was glaring, but he didn't care.

The waves lapped against the hull of the ship, and Ace was awakened by the slight sound. When he opened his eyes, he saw the eyes of Ninomiyaro Kazusa.

In the blue water waves is his indulgent figure.

It doesn't matter if he is hated by the sea, he has another sea.

In her eyes, the smallest ocean in the world was enough for Ace to fly.

"Ace, do you want to force yourself to live with me until that time?" Kazusa Ninomiyaro did not hide her expectations: "Live until we are both old, and we have to hold hands and support each other to walk."

"That seems pretty good."

Grow old together with her, with her head full of white hair, holding hands and walking slowly home.

Ace had a small hope for the future and living in his heart.

"if I could……"

Shaking her head to stop what he was about to say, Ninomiyaro Kazusa let go of Ace's hand: "I don't want what-ifs, I want you to tell me for sure."

Either stay with me or let me go.

Ace's cheek muscles were slightly sore, and Ace was silent for a long time. Ninomiyaro Kazusa waited quietly, with a wave of hope in her eyes.

"I……"

It was so difficult, with sharp thorns standing in his mouth piercing his tongue, and bitter blood pouring into his throat.

There was a look of pain on Ace's face, but Ninomiyaro Kazusa just stared at him, watching him walk towards her naked through the thorns, with love and pity.

"I will try to live." When Ace said the last word, he felt something break away from his body and fly to the sky: "Live until that time."

Grow old with you.

"Ace." Stepping forward to hug him, Ninomiyaro Kazusa buried her head on Ace's uninjured shoulder, with his soft hair under her hands: "Thank you."

Thank you for agreeing to my request. In exchange, I will be your reason to persist.

May the moon be loyal to the sun and I give you all my love.
