[One Piece] Inferior Star

Tianhuacheng's village...is so peaceful.

Youxiang was almost falling asleep sitting in front of the porch.Staying here for the past two days, Chris took good care of them, and the whole village was very quiet, and there were not too many things to disturb.The only thing that worries Youxiang is that Matthew hasn't contacted her until now. Is everyone really okay... She stroked the communicator that Matthew asked to wear on her wrist. Could this be broken?

If you stay any longer, you will only think wildly, why don't you find something to do!Miss Perona has been missing since the morning. Miss Weiwei seems to have gone to Bak Li Fen Town to investigate the disappearance. Do you want to go around the town too...Will it cause trouble for everyone?

"Meow~~" Pupu has rubbed her head beside Youxiang at some point.Youxiang felt that she seemed to have grown bigger again. Is it because she ate well recently?

Youxiang touched the top of Pupu's head, and she said, "Pupu, let's go to the town and see if we won't cause trouble to everyone, right?"

"Meow?" Pupu probably didn't understand, she just rubbed for fragrance and made a purring sound.

"If you're worried about someone... I can go with you, Miss Youxiang."

"what?"

Hearing such a voice, Youxiang turned her head and saw Chris standing not far away: "Mr. Chris...are you eavesdropping on my conversation with Pupu?"

"Haha... I just heard it when I happened to pass by. I originally wanted to ask if you needed anything, and I happened to be going to the town to do some shopping." Chris smiled, and he said, "It's okay to stay here all the time. Don't worry. In fact, the village should have been more lively in the past, but the recent disappearance has made everyone very uneasy."

That's right...someone is missing here too.There should be more people missing in Bolifen Town.The people I met before who kidnapped Miss Weiwei might not be the tip of the iceberg.I'm a little bit worried about Miss Weiwei.Sure enough, if you are in a daze for a long time, you will think wildly.

Youxiang stood up, and she said, "Then Chris-jun and I will go shopping together! It's a bit like a date..."

"Hahaha... I don't mind..." Chris was still smiling, and he said, "Although I don't remember much about the past like everyone else, I feel that I should be familiar with you before."

"Is Madam Yulian the only one who remembers this?"

"Well... Mother is a very powerful person. She forgot it at the beginning, but because of her ability, she broke through the obstacles in a prophecy." Chris explained simply, he said, "She told my father I was surprised when my lord passed away a long time ago, but...to be honest, I do have some strange feelings. I feel like a stranger to my father."

Is that so... Youxiang said: "I will help everyone retrieve their past memories... But sometimes I wonder if some people feel that the current illusion is happier. Madam Yulian said that this cannot last... I actually breathed a sigh of relief."

"Ah. False illusions are bound to collapse... My mother often says that. But I know that she loves my father very much. Even though I say this, she still talks a lot with my father, and shows expressions of happiness and pain. Chris shook his head, "Whether to choose short-term happiness or the cruel reality... Everyone's thoughts should be different. But Youxiang's approach is also correct."

"My mother also said that this is trampling on all of us. I think so too."

That's right... that's right.Just do what you feel is right first.Matthew said the same thing.Youxiang took a deep breath, and then put on a smiling face again: "Okay! I will try my best! But for now, let's go to town with Mr. Chris! Isn't it Pupu?"

"Meow~~"

So cute... Help... Chris managed to keep a calm expression on his face.He admitted that he mustered up the courage to invite Youxiang to go out.I always feel that I can't let her go, so here I come!Purchase something!In fact, there is no need to go again if I went there the day before yesterday! !But……

"What are we going to buy, Mr. Chris? Pupu wants to eat ice cream?"

"Meow~~"

I'll buy you both ice cream!Chris thought so in his heart, and he pretended to be calm and said: "It's just some necessities...let's go first."

Although Chris seems nervous, Youxiang and Pupu are very at ease.They jumped up and down the stone steps, and together they chased birds and butterflies.They were clearly of a different species, but Chris somehow felt they were exactly the same.

"You Xiang, I'll be in town soon, I think it's better for you not to leave me too far." Chris reminded, and the two kittens ran back.Forget about Xiang, but Pupu is so obedient... He said, "After all, there have been a lot of disappearances recently... Is your friend okay?"

"I don't think Miss Perona and Miss Weiwei need to worry too much... although I'm still a little worried." The two of them are very powerful, but the things in the town really make people feel at ease.Youxiang said, "Let's find them by the way, Mr. Chris."

"Yeah." That's fine.Chris wanted to say something, he thought for a long time before holding back a topic, "You Xiang, you seem to be waiting for your companions, where did they go?"

"Everyone... made an appointment with me to meet me on the shore." Thinking of this, Youxiang subconsciously touched the communicator on her wrist, "I will work hard until then!"

"Um... sorry, I seem to have brought up a bad topic."

"It's okay. I just want to thank Chris, or I don't know where I should be spending this time."

"I'm just following my mother's instructions..."

"By the way, Chris. Have you been to the fur tribe before... I mean the forest of the orc tribe?" Youxiang vaguely remembered that Wanda once said that a blond young man in a white robe told them about The prophecy of the future, and instructed them to go near the canal.From this point of view, that person seems to be Chris.

"That's right. It happened a few months ago." Chris was a little surprised, "My mother said that she saw some omens. If you don't tell them, they may all die... Did Youxiang meet them? ?"

"Hmm! It's near Vilonis, the capital of water. My friends treated them... But they are very sick, Mr. Chris. Does Mrs. Yulian know what it is?"

"Mother said that it is a disease that can only be contracted in places where the barrier is completely broken. Although it is not directly transmitted between creatures, if you don't leave that place, people will always be infected. People's illnesses will also get worse." Chris replied, "That's why my mother sent me to find the orcs."

"That's right... By the way, what is the barrier?"

"This...how should I put it, is a barrier that separates the real world from the dream world. Ordinary people can't see or feel it. Its thickness is not uniform, and it will also be affected by what happens in the real world. It must be weak or strong... You see, sometimes when we go to a place, we feel that the place is eerie or uncomfortable for no reason, and it may be related to the barrier being too thin."

Hmm... It seems to be a very familiar concept, so you can understand it immediately after talking about Youxiang.She thought for a while and then said: "Miss Wanda told me that they were the first cases when they were at sea. Could it be that the place where there is no barrier at all is at sea?"

"There is indeed an unstable barrier on the sea. There are still legends of sea monsters among the sailors. I think it should also be related to the barrier. However, the orcs have been infected on this continent, but only on the sea. It’s only when you get sick.” Chris shook his head, he said, “In fact, many people with the same disease are like this.”

"It's on this continent?! Aren't other people very dangerous?"

"As long as you don't get close to that place, there is no problem for the time being. In fact, we don't have the technology to repair the barrier. We can only use a conservative method to prevent the scope from expanding and take time to wait for it to close by itself." Chris smiled and cried, he said, "I heard that the people who used to have that kind of technology are all dead. Our family can be regarded as the last descendants, and our strength is already very thin."

"That's right..." Then there is no way.But this is also a little more reassuring, as long as you don't get close to that place.

After chatting like this, the two of them had already reached Bolifen Town.On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this small town, and with the unique color scheme of the kingdom, it even makes people feel relaxed and happy.Youxiang looked around curiously, but she was still careful not to be too far away from Chris.

Chris wanted to go shopping first, and then go back to buy something symbolically.Before the two could say anything, a tall figure blocked their way.Youxiang looked up, and immediately hid behind Chris: "There it is!!"

"Out, appeared?!" What appeared?This person... is so tall!Chris also looked up at the person in front of him, he was very tall, but I don't know if it was an illusion, Chris always felt that he should be taller, "Are you... is it His Highness Katakuri?!"

"It's His Royal Highness who hit up a conversation with a lame line yesterday!" Youxiang said behind Chris.

"I'm not trying to strike up a conversation, Yuka." Katakuri's face was hidden behind his scarf. Although he couldn't see the expression clearly, Yuxiang was very sure that he was not flustered and was very calm, "I'm just telling the truth. I Pretty sure something happened to you one day in the past... don't you remember any of it?"

Actually...it's not that I don't remember at all!But what you said is too strange! !Youxiang poked her head out from behind Chris, and she said, "Mr. Katakuri...was he taller before?"

"Ah, I think so too. My brother and I... and the other brothers and sisters are more or less abnormal about the changes in our bodies. It's just... I'm not sure what it means." Katakuri spread Spreading his hands, he said, "Is this your boyfriend? Youxiang?"

"How should I put it...Chris-kun, he is—"

"Chris-kun, I'm sorry, I know Youxiang is very cute, but she is my fiancee, so please give it up." Before Youxiang, Katakuri finished speaking quickly, "Youxiang, what are you doing today? Can you go back with me? I have a lot to say to you."

"Hey, hey??"

"You wait for me!"

When Chris was completely dumbfounded, Yuxiang jumped out and made a Stop action. She looked at Katakuri with her hips on her hips, and then said, "This is totally unacceptable, Mr. Katakuri~~ and girls like this!" Talking is bad, huh?"

"...Really? Sorry."

"I forgave you because it was me?"

"I understand... I'm not very good at expressing such things." Katakuri replied calmly, "But at least tell me something. I've been thinking about this since I met you yesterday I don't think it was my illusion. So..."

"I see." There was really no way.How can we refuse His Royal Highness' invitation?Youxiang thought about it, and she said, "Then let's go to the coffee shop over there and talk. But you have to promise me one condition, and you will also buy me ice cream and Mr. Chris together!"

There are quite a lot of additional conditions... Katakuri raised his eyebrows slightly, and he said: "I promise you. But you... Youxiang, can you break up with him?"

"We're not dating at all. Mr. Chris is just doing my friend a favor."

"That's it...that's how it is." It seemed that there was no need to get rid of him secretly.Katakuri thought to himself, and said, "Then can we leave him alone?"

"It's not impossible for me to date him now, Mr. Katakuri."

"I'm sorry. I understand. Let's take him. You are so strict with me, Youxiang."

"Who is Mr. Katakuri always saying strange things in public!"

The author has something to say:

Card [-]: It must be my daughter-in-law who trained me so proficiently!

You Xiang: I actually trained His Royal Highness so skillfully, am I going to be arrested? !

Chris: Can someone explain to me this overly rapid development? !

List of Princes (or persons with prominent status) whom Youxiang has admonished:

"Mr. Katakuri, how can you bully the little mermaid? It's too much!"

"Mr. Iji, this is wrong, you have to reflect!"

"Dover! Where did you put your hands?!!"

"Grandpa, don't drink anymore! If you can't do it, you can't! How can you drink it secretly?"

"Grandpa!! You have to pay for the big senbei! You are a navy!!"

"Mr. Shanks!! Do not drink wine like water!!"

"Mr. Roger, you are not reflecting at all, are you? Then no meat is allowed tonight."

"Mr. Jin, you burned me."

I don't know if you have noticed that Ka Er's body size has become smaller, as if she has shrunk by two sizes. (In fact, Charlotte's family has shrunk in size in this new world, and there are no 'giants' in this world.)
