"Hum hum hum hum ~"

Humming a brisk tune, Anne combed her long blonde hair and tied it in a ponytail with a headband.

The huge cat monster in the main room was lying on its back, its soft belly rising and falling with its breathing, and the big snot bubbles were already blowing.

It's already dawn, and today's cat pit viper boss's biological clock is as accurate as ever, and the sky is broken, and he falls asleep →_→

It rained heavily almost overnight before dawn, and the pure fur orcs in the right belly stronghold of the Whale Forest made noise until dawn, and then fell asleep one after another.

The [King's Bird] on duty had already returned to Duke Inuran's side before dawn.

Anne didn't have to go back to town before sunrise and had plenty of time to hang out.

In the early morning, the whale forest was filled with a faint mist, probably due to the rain, and the colors of the leaves were washed much brighter, and the water vapor was much heavier than before.

The accumulated rainwater fell along the tips of the leaves and dripped onto the little girl's umbrella, making a splash.

The forest that had rained was muddy and unshapely, and Anne held an umbrella and flew lightly through the forest.

The mischievous bird jumped on the branch, stepped on a sprig of rainwater, and hit the little girl's umbrella.

Anne looked up at the bird on the branch and smiled, "Hey~little guy, just do me a favor~"

The black-winged bird was a little wet from the moisture in the mist, and with a light tap of its feet, it spread its wings, let out a crisp chirp, and flew in one direction.

"Sure enough~"

Anne pushed aside the bushes, and a clump of wood knotweed hanging from the branches was verdant and lovely.

"Found it." -

＊-＊-＊-

It was a new day, and Sander's mother got up early and opened the door as usual.

"Annie?"

"Good morning, Mother Sander!"

Carrying the basket, the whole person was smiling at Anne who was wet with morning dew.

Looking at such little Anne, Sander's mother made a straight face, in Sander's mother's opinion, whales and forest beasts are infested, and it is a very dangerous place for children" and said, how can you run to the forest early in the morning! ”

Sander's mother said strange things, but she immediately found a towel for the little girl, "Wipe it quickly, it's all a little dirty ghost." ”

"Hmm......" Anne, who was covered with a towel, obediently swallowed her excuse and obediently wiped herself clean.

"But I've found something good!"

Anne, who took the towel handed over by Sander's mother and wiped herself clean, proudly raised the simple basket woven by the green vine in her hand, "Look." ”

Looking at the clump of emerald green berries in the basket, Mother Sander took the basket and quickly guessed Anne's thoughts, "Ghost elf." ”

The little girl was smiling, obviously in a good mood.

"Hey, hey~ I'm going to see Bebo and them!"

Under the pressure of the fruit of the operation, the lead disease of Rodisper has been relieved to a certain extent, and the white spots caused by the disease have disappeared, but the pain is still there, reminding him.

"Is it okay?" Bei Bo put away the folding cot and saw that Luo had already gotten up, "The doctor said you should rest for at least a week." ”

"Ah...... Well...... It's okay. Luo paused, he was still a little unaccustomed to the care from others, but he also told himself that these people were just pure kindness.

For these kindnesses, he really, very much appreciates. "Thank you."

The baby bear Bebo blushed and scratched his head and lowered his head. Luo said thank you ( ̄▽ ̄)~*So happy~\(≧▽≦)/~

Bebo has always been a good boy who is soft and introverted.

"Ahh How did you get up! ”

The door of the room was pushed open without warning, and Luo in the room was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, the little girl's dissatisfied voice came first.

→_→ didn't anyone tell sù that this girl was going to knock on the door when she entered the boy's room? Luo silently buttoned the last button of his shirt.

Bebo wasn't surprised at all, he seemed to be used to it.

Luo looked at Beibo for a while, and the cute bear face was as cute as usual, well, a bear.

- Forget it. So be it. It seems that no one will sue her.

A slightly cold hand touched Luo's forehead, which was a little distracted, and Luo subconsciously avoided it, but that hand was unexpectedly persistent.

"Obviously, the temperature hasn't dropped much! Hurry up and lie back! The little girl withdrew her hand and pointed to the bed, her willow eyebrows upside down, "You unconscious stupid patient!" ”

“……”

"Luo, hurry up and lie back, Anne is going to be angry." Bebo looked at the two people who were deadlocked, and reached out and tugged at the corner of Luo's clothes.

Luo frowned in confusion, and sighed at Miss Anne's expression that she didn't intend to back down at all, "I know." ”

Seeing the young man lying back obediently, Anne smiled, brought the tray of breakfast floating in the air and put it on the bedside table, "Your breakfast." ”

“…… Thank you. I can't say it, but Luo who feels very awkward picks up the spoon.

Breakfast was prepared by Sander's mother, because Luo is a patient, so the breakfast was prepared very light, and it was a vegetable porridge with great nutritional value.

Seeing Luo obediently lie back in bed for breakfast, Bebo touched his head and went to breakfast.

"How can you be willful when you are a patient." Anne sat down on the chair beside the bed, she had never been sick, but Bebo had a fever when she was a child, and she had been very uncomfortable and unable to keep up her spirits during that time, so the little girl felt that if she was sick, she had to get better quickly.

Besides, there is no way to do the next thing if you are sick.

"When you get better, I'll take you to see Cat's father~"

Cat Dad? Rowe remembers that Bebo said that Anne was the adopted daughter of the king cat-bellied snake boss of the Duchy of Merkmo. That's probably the one you mean.

Seeing Luo's incomprehensible movements, Anne explained, "You can't stay in the town, this is a pure Mao country, according to the rules of the principality, foreign humans can't stay in the principality for a long time." ”

"So, I'll take you to the stronghold on the right side of the Whale Forest."

"Until then, Luo, you can recuperate in peace~"

"Why......" Luo put down the spoon and looked at Annie suspiciously, even if a person of unknown origin like him is saved, it is the most appropriate thing to put it on a nearby island at will, "Why do you want to help me?" ”

Anne lowered her eyes, curled her eyebrows apologetically, and moved her lips not knowing how to speak. Luo saw the little girl's clenched fists on her lap.

"I'm sorry, I didn't have permission to read your memory."

Memory?

Luo was stunned, he didn't expect such an answer.

The little girl lowered her head, a little afraid to look at Luo's expression.

Anne is right, reading memories that don't lie is the most effective means of reading memories without knowing. If the person whose memory is read is not oneself......

"So, are you sympathizing with me......" Luo clenched his hand as he squeezed the spoon, trying to restrain himself from hurting others.

"It's not!" Anne hurriedly raised her head, eagerly denying that "it is not like this......"

"What's that!"

"Because it's you." Anne looked into Law's eyes and said very seriously, "Because the person I saw kept moving forward even if he was crying." ”

In the depths of Luo's memory, Anne saw the child who had been illuminated by the light, gentle and kind, even if the sun was robbed of by the disaster, the fire in his body was never extinguished.

The man named Corazon lit the fire, and the light continued in him, and he shouldn't have stopped here.

She wanted to help him, he had his own way, he shouldn't have stopped here and wouldn't stop here.

Even though the road ahead is full of thorns, the karmic fire burns.

"You...... What do you say, what ...... "What a fool, such a serious person!" This is Luo Shao's ears are about to red.

Luo, who was a little embarrassed by the little girl's trouble, hurriedly changed the topic, "Speaking of which, you can fly and read other people's memories, are you also a Devil Fruit ability?" ”

"The Able? I'm not a capable person. Anne shook her head, not hiding that "my abilities are an innate talent. ”

"Talent?"

"Hmm. I've had these abilities since I was conscious," the little girl tilted her head and smiled to show her pointed little tiger teeth, "like a gift from the gods~"

"Daddy Cat picked me up in the forest, and I didn't have any impression before that."

"You ......"

"Annistora, just call me Anne."

"We're friends~"

Looking at the outstretched hand of the little girl in front of him, the sun fell on it.

He thought, and he reached out and grabbed the light.

Anne smiled happily at the handshake, her first human friend.

Just like her, human.

"As long as you can pass the trials of the Guò Whale Forest, you can stay in the right belly stronghold. After that, it's no problem to come back to town. ”

"Trials in the Whale Forest?" What is that? When it came to trials, Luo was interested.

"Walk through the Whale Forest to the stronghold on the right belly." The little girl raised her index finger, "You're alone." ”

Crossing the forest? Luo didn't expect it to be this kind of trial.

"At that point, there is no way for me and Bebo to provide you with any help. In other words, this is your own trial. ”

"Is it just a forest...... surprisingly simple? Luo couldn't help but think so, after crossing the border and joining the Don Quixote family, he had experienced far more cruel than trials.

"Yes, however, the Whale Forest is not as simple as you think~"

"In short, with your current physical condition, you can't do it~\(≧▽≦)/~"

"Ha ......" always felt an ominous premonition, Luo looked at the little girl who was smiling very happily, and bent his eyebrows helplessly.

"Hey~"

After Luo finished breakfast, the little girl next to her watched very closely, and she was very close, and she was only allowed to rest in bed.

(/"≡_≡)=There's no need to look at him like that!
