[One Piece] Inferior Star

Frey...?

In sleep, this should be in sleep.Although the scene is still a room on a Luo boat, but... the surrounding mist proves that this should be in a dream.Even if Youxiang has just woken up from a two-year sleep, she will still be tired and need to rest at night.Are you dreaming again?

"We meet again, little girl." Frey walked to Youxiang's bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and then turned his head to look at Youxiang who sat up from the bed, "Are you still satisfied with the dream during this time? "

"Huh? That dream...was Frey...?"

"It's a little gift from us." Frey smiled, and he said, "That's the life you might have lived if you hadn't been sacrificed and didn't have this natural talent."

"..." Youxiang didn't speak immediately, she sat on the bed, hugged her knees and said, "Then, Frey and I will be together forever?"

"Ha! Why do you think this matter is not so bad after you say it..." Frey laughed, "To be precise, you will always exist as our passage to the present world. No matter when you are alive , or after death, you can no longer get rid of us. But there is one thing to be thankful for, that is, you can still order us."

"Order?"

"Ah. Basically we have a master-servant relationship. You are the master. The bride's contract is like this... It's not the same as the bride you humans understand. It's just a name anyway, and it doesn't matter. You are the 'arrogant' bride, too Our master, if you say that, it will be easy to understand."

"Could it be... can I command all the demons?" It feels so handsome!

"What you think is quite beautiful. Of course not." Frey said, "Only us who agreed to the contract at the beginning... I think about it, probably me, arrogance, death, fear... all-knowing... I guess. There is rebirth, although he was not there at that time, but now he indirectly agrees."

Fear seemed like a demon not seen before.Youxiang thought about it, and she said, "I'm not familiar with the others. But I'm actually a little happy to be able to meet Frey?"

"You are such a naive little girl, I'm used to it." Frey said, "But it's a good thing to have a good attitude. Well, anyway, as long as you can make good use of this relationship, it's not all a bad thing, right?"

"Frey, I think you should tell me something bad is going to happen right now?"

"..." It makes sense.Be mentally prepared in advance.Frey said, "There is a price for using our power. This is the rule, and there is nothing we can do about it. Like I asked you to ask for grapefruit tea before, that level is also a price. Ordinary fighting, or using basic power , that's all right."

"It's just like this time... the price of resurrecting dying people will become 'huge'. One life for one life, you humans should understand this kind of truth. The more things we need to do Wider, the more serious the consequences, the harsher the price, you have to remember this."

"Also... because we will always be by your side, the boundary between your side and the dream world will become blurred. Some unclean things will follow the smell to find you. Trouble around you, Strange things will also increase. Maybe people around you will be affected too. It's a 'curse', little girl. You should understand that too, right?"

What do unclean things mean... Youxiang is a little scared now, she said: "You mean, supernatural events?!"

"Huh? Almost..."

"Yaaaaaa!!!"

"Scare me! Stop screaming!" Frey said. "After all, why are you afraid of ghosts if you're not even afraid of demons!!"

"How would I know! Even if I'm afraid, I can't help it!! You think of a way, Frey!!"

"What can I do!! If I could do something about the barrier, would I still be suffering so much, you little girl!!"

"Woooooo... Frey is really useless..."

"Hey..." Frey sighed helplessly, and he said, "Although things will always happen, but... don't worry too much. After all, we are always here, just call our names."

Speaking of which... Youxiang thought about it, and she said, "I've only met Frey and Lance (omniscient), and I haven't met the others much. What do they look like?"

"If you want to see them, call them by their names?"

"I haven't named them yet... Since we want to get along well in the future, we should have a name? Let me think about it...Mr. Death, let's call them Fino (Final)... How about it?"

"Huh? What about that kind of thing—"

"Then, arrogance... that guy who always scares me, what should I call him... Am I his 'bride'? I always find it weird. Could it be called... my dear?"

"..." Ah~~ That guy was so excited that he covered his face and ran away.Frey looked in a certain direction with a look of disgust, and he said, "Don't be so nice to him, he's basically a fool."

"Fool...? But Frey said he was strong!"

"Ah. That's the way it is. He's the strongest demon, but he's an idiot and a virgin."

"Huh—" The topic seems to be going off the rails!Youxiang quickly pulled it back, "Can I meet him? He looks terrible?"

"Even if it's really scary, when we see you, we will make a nice disguise. Because this is the nature of demons." I hope that human beings can see their beautiful side... It's a bit ironic, but it will always be unconscious do it.Frey said, "Just call us by our first names. Anytime, girl. But .

"Ace and the others...?"

"Ah. He probably wants to kill me. Although I won't die, it will still hurt if I get beaten. So—don't call me for now unless you have iced yuzu tea."

Frey still hasn't changed at all... Leaving aside the other things, I've been with Frey since I was a child, and if I can't see each other suddenly, I will still feel lonely.

"Frey."

"I told you not to call me for now! Why?"

"Although you are a devil, I don't hate you. I don't hate you because of it. Although... this talent may really be a 'curse', but I think that because you have always been by my side...so a 'curse' ' It's not that bad either. Thank you."

"..." Don't say such things to me.Don't look at me with that innocent smile.I'm going to burn, I'm a demon, I can't exist under such a bright light.You stupid little girl...Frey didn't speak for a long time, and when Youxiang thought he didn't care, he opened his mouth:

"Sorry. In the past, I couldn't tell you many things. I can't let some things affect your final choice... Although I know that maybe it is the best result for you to get rid of this curse. But... Youxiang, I also..."

I also have a little bit of that, I don't want to leave you.

Frey didn't finish speaking, he stood up: "Okay, you should go to sleep. There is no way to get rest by staying awake in a dream. I will make sure...we will make sure you don't have any nightmares. Sleep at ease .”

"Mmm..." Youxiang lay back on the bed.Frey was the same Frey as before.She closed her eyes reassuringly, "Can Frey wait until I fall asleep before leaving?"

"Hey... I see. I'll be here with you."

What a... naive chick.I'm still stupid, I'm a devil, I'm...forget it.It is impossible to change the fact that it happened now, and it is meaningless to think about so many things that have no results.Go to sleep, there is fragrance.No matter what, we will be by your side.

Youxiang slept well this time.Didn't have any dreams.I fell asleep until dawn.The soreness on her body from yesterday recovered almost immediately, and she is full of energy now, and she just wants to stay in bed a little bit.However, Mr. Luo has helped her so much, she somewhat wants to take advantage of this time to help him with something, even if it's cleaning, or get up quickly... Eh?

Youxiang just opened her eyes and was about to get up, when she found that there seemed to be someone else lying beside her?She turned her head and saw that Ace was unceremoniously, completely unrestrained, as if he was in his own bed, sleeping very freely.He almost occupied the entire bed.Still lying on the outer side, squeezing You Xiang into a small corner.

Youxiang felt that she only realized it now, and it must be Frey's credit.What the hell is going on with this guy!Why did you suddenly come to your own bed!And wouldn't it be impossible to get out of bed!Youxiang was struggling, she looked at Ace's face, but couldn't get angry again.

You slept soundly, you idiot!You can live well now.Don't get caught again...don't make everyone worry so much anymore.With this thought in mind, Youxiang approached, put her elbows on the bed, lay there, and looked at Ace's sleeping face with her head propped up.

Just seeing him like this makes me happy.Youxiang reached out a hand and touched his face.The warm body temperature also made her feel happy.When covering him with the quilt, he suddenly sat up——

"Yeah!" Youxiang was taken aback.

"Uh..." Ace rubbed his eyes with sleepy eyes, and began to mutter, "He fell asleep...so hungry..."

"Ai, Ace...?" Youxiang called out to him cautiously.

"Huh? Ah... Youxiang." He turned his head to look at Youxiang who was huddled in the corner of the bed, and then laughed, "Good morning! Did you sleep well?"

"Morning, good morning...you're so big! Why are you on my bed, you idiot!!" Do you really think of me as a girl? !Although it's a bit slow to react like this now, Youxiang still has to show her attitude.

"That..." Ace said unconsciously, "Last night, when I wanted to come to you, Luo said that you were already asleep. I was very worried... afraid of what would happen if you couldn't wake up again, so I said I came here and wanted to guard you until you woke up. But...accidentally, I fell asleep too!"

"Ace... idiot..."

"Haha..." Without saying anything, Ace laughed, "Okay, forget about those things. Let's go eat!"

"Brush your teeth first, Ace~" Youxiang reminded, "You have to wash your face, and comb your hair well. Look, your hair is all curled up..."

"..." Sitting there and letting Youxiang tidy his hair, Ace didn't say anything, he kept smiling and looked at the person in front of him.There is an indescribable feeling in my heart, which I have never experienced before... If I have to use words or metaphors to describe it, it tastes like eating a candy.

Although usually, Ace doesn't like sweet things very much, but now, he feels that it would be nice if he could continue.

"Ace! Are you listening to me! Go brush your teeth!"

"Ah."

"Well, get up quickly! If you don't get up, I'll leave first!"

"Help me, Youxiang."

"How can I help you!!" What a sudden coquettishness!You are the big brother!You are not allowed to act like a baby, let me come!Youxiang was a little angry, but...she wasn't really angry, she was even a little bit happy.It's worth it, everything I've done, everything I've chosen, is all worth it.
