Chapter 37: Departure (II)

After learning that the target people who wanted to meet were not in the capital of the seven waters, none of them were now. Klockdahl didn't linger any longer, and when he opened his eyes, Klockdahl said to the girl Evie, "Let's go!"

"Well, sir, wait for me,,, sir" watched Klockdahl walk away, and the girl thanked the man in the courtyard. So he put away his backpack and chased after him.

Looking at the girl Evie who had followed, Klockdahl quickened his pace, trying to shake her off. Unexpectedly, this girl still stubbornly caught up.

"Ahh,,,h

Klockdahl turned his head to look at the girl Evie and asked suspiciously, "Why are you still following me, I don't need a guide anymore." Frowning, Klockdahl asked again, "Besides, it's not too late now, it's time for you to go home." ”

Hearing this, the girl Evie's eyes darkened significantly, and she murmured, "Home, I still have a home?" Grandpa is no longer there, by the way, there are Rupees and them, and the old neighbor Mr. Akin. And, "No, actually, I don't have anything." When the girl thought of this, a word suddenly flashed into the "witch", and what followed was a scene from the past to today. The eyes that are regarded as monsters, and even when those gangsters slander themselves, the so-called neighborhood's accomplices. The more she thought about it, the lower her head became, and she gradually stopped talking.

Klockdahl looked at the girl who suddenly became low and lonely, and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with it?" Perhaps because of his dissatisfaction with the girl who whispered to ask others and finally stopped herself, Klockdahl also brought some anger when he said this.

"Yes, yes, and sir, and sir, you don't look down on Evie, and there is a gentleman who needs Evie. Hearing Klockdahl's question, the young girl Evie muttered as if she were in a dream. In the darkness despised by everyone, it seems that this tall man broke in and beat away the gangsters. Also, when Evie was most lost, it was this man who appeared for the first time to comfort her. And he secretly threw away the cigar, and when he took Evie, he was so attracted to Evie,,, the girl at this time, just like a person who has lived in the dark for a long time, finally grasped a glimmer of light, and always unconsciously magnified that glimmer of light, thinking so beautifully.

Klockdahl didn't know that he was moving unintentionally. In the eyes of the young girl Evie, she has become so tall. And she unintentionally became the existence that needed her to recover again.

"Evie doesn't have a home anymore. The girl Evie raised her head and said in a low voice. "And thanks to Mr. for saving Evie today. ”

"Uh! I didn't save you. And with your fruit ability, just a few gangsters will definitely not be able to hurt you. Klockdahl replied lightly. That's right, it's just a few gangsters who are stronger than ordinary people, and they definitely can't hurt girls with Devil Fruit abilities.

"Well, no, if I hadn't shown up, maybe I wouldn't have had the faith to live. The girl said.

Hearing this, Klockdahl no longer argued with her, but turned back to his original words: "No matter what? ”

With that, Klockdahl turned to leave, taking a cigar from his coat, lighting a fire, and taking a deep breath. It's a terrible day, I didn't see the target I was looking for, and I was pestered by a girl for so long.

Soon, Klockdahl realized that something was wrong again, and when he turned his head, it turned out that the girl had followed silently, and this time he took the initiative to use that weird ability, no wonder Klockdahl didn't notice the sound. If it weren't for the fact that the girl was too close, the familiar scent of flowers made Klockdahl aware of it, and Klockdahl really didn't notice it.

Crocodal turned around, and sure enough, it was the teenage Evie.

"Ahh

Klockdahl said in an impatient tone, "Didn't you let you go? ”

"Ahh

Klockdahl knows that there is a symptom called Stockholm syndrome. Although it doesn't fit the current situation, it can guess some similar dependence on the girl.

"Hmph, I'm a wicked pirate. Klockdahl said stiffly, "What are you doing with a pirate like you?"

"Ahh Unexpectedly, this sentence did not scare the girl, but the girl took out a stack of bounty slips from her backpack, took out one of them and said: "This is what I got on the Shipwreck Island, this is you, sir!"

I didn't expect the girl to already know her identity as a pirate, and yes, since the mask fell off, her strange dress and characteristics will indeed make people suspicious. "Hmph, since you know my identity, let's hurry up and leave while I'm in a good mood. ”

"No, Mr. Crocodall, I've decided, I'm going to join your pirates. The young girl Evie said something that surprised even Crocodall.

Looking at this scene, Klocodahl was a little Spartan. "Girl, pirates are not playmakers, and they don't join if you want to. However, at this moment, Klockdahl was somewhat resistant to the addition of an capable person. Although, I probably know the reason why the girl joined, but Klockdahl didn't want such a girl to get into this quagmire. Her kindness and purity should not be tarnished by the darkness of pirates.

On the other side, the girl still gritted her teeth and still insisted on her thoughts. Klockdahl could only refuse her from another angle: "Hmph, girl. Now I've made a rule that I won't recruit girls with long hair!" Klockdahl thought that rejecting her as a girl would make her give up. I didn't expect her to catch a hole in the end.

"So, isn't it okay if it's not a girl with "long hair"?" As he spoke, he took out a knife from his backpack and cut off the green silk that hung down his shoulder. In an instant, she changed from a long-haired girl to a short-haired girl.

Knowing that there was a loophole in what he said, he originally wanted to express that he didn't want a female crew member, but he didn't want a "female crew member with long hair". But watching the girl's resolute movements, Klockdahl swallowed the unspoken words again. I wanted to speak and stopped, but finally it turned into a sigh. "Hmph, you've done it, since you once said you were a doctor, then become a trainee ship doctor first! Don't be too happy, huh. ”

"Hi, Mr. Crocodale, not Captain Crocodale. Well, it's still Mistress Klockdahl who sounds good, and that's how it will be called in the future. The girl Evie burst into tears and laughed.

That smile reminded Klockdahl again of the scene in the morning, when the girl Evie smiled and introduced herself. is still so optimistic, cheerful, and really an incomprehensible girl.

"Whatever you want, let's go back to the station first. Klockdahl nodded helplessly.

"Oh yes!", the girl Evie waved her little hand, "then, Lord Klockdahl, let's go now!"

Klockdahl glanced at the extra girl beside him, and he had a headache. When I went out, I was alone, and when I came back, not only did I not finish anything, but I also brought back a yellow-haired girl.

The two of them walked farther and farther away, and faintly heard Klockdahl's sigh, "Hey,,, what a trouble!"
