Chapter 31 is unconcerned

The result of the collision between ideal and reality is like an egg hitting a stone most of the time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoReality may not be cruel, but it is always reality, and it is definitely not as beautiful as the ideal that you have beautified and longed for in your mind.

In Becker's previous life, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

Edmund's father was an adventurer and a pirate, and his father, who always had endless adventure stories in his childhood memories, was the most amazing man in Edmund's eyes, and becoming a pirate who was constantly adventuring like his father became Edmund's ideal. Although no news has been heard from for many years, Edmund has always stubbornly believed that his father is still alive, and that he still remembers adventuring the seas as a brave and brave pirate.

But the reality is that the vast majority of pirates in this world are precarious, not as chic as Edmond imagined, they are chased by the navy, chased by stronger peers, and have to face the harsh climate at sea, pirates like Denton struggling to survive are not an exception, but a common phenomenon.

Edmund saw Denton on his knees begging for mercy today, which was equivalent to a collision between the ideal and the reality in his mind, and the ideal seemed to be shattered.

Becker didn't comfort Edmund too much, Edmund would be eighteen years old in another year, even in his previous life, he was already an adult in law, he should no longer be seen as a child who needed to be coaxed by fairy tales, Edmund should know what reality is.

…………

In the year 1504, a new member of the royal family was born in the palace of the Kingdom of Alabastan, the Great Voyage, and in the village of Frost Moon in the East China Sea, Becker celebrated Edmund's eighteenth birthday with Tony, Manny and others at the Honoré Tavern.

Amid the coaxing of Tony and Manny, Eugenie shyly handed Edmund the knife that cut the cake, and then ran away without looking back.

Tony laughed and shouted at Eugenie's back, "Eugenie stay and eat cake!" ”

After Tony finished shouting, seeing that Eugenie ignored him, he smiled and said to Edmund: "You don't want to keep anyone's house." ”

"Don't keep joking, pay attention to the reputation of other girls." Edmund replied angrily, but after speaking, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at the figure of Eugenie trying to wipe the table in the distance, his eyes were complicated.

When Becker heard this, he pretended to be surprised and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone: "Who always asked me about Eugenie? What else do you want me to say? What should I do if I inherit this tavern in the future? ”

Tony and Manny watched Becker perform hey silly music, and Edmund angrily cut off a large piece of cake and put it on the plate, and slammed it to Becker's table: "Shut up and eat your cake!" ”

Becker replied: "How do you eat cake with your mouth shut up?" ”

Edmund cut the cake for Tony and Manny, and after Tony took it, he said with emotion: "Edmund is also eighteen years old, so he can be considered an adult." ”

Becker pointed at Tony and said, "Edmund is much more mature than you, he has been learning literacy with me for more than a year, and he has also learned some nautical knowledge. ”

Becker has always been curious about the background of the original owner of his body, there is no compulsory education in this world, and the illiteracy rate is not low, but the original owner of the body is both literate and swordsmanship, so he should have a relatively wealthy family background.

Tony touched his earlobe awkwardly and grinned, "I'm not a child, where can I sit while reading books." ”

"Edmund isn't a kid either, how can he sit still?"

Hearing this, Tony muttered in a low voice, "Who knows how he changed sex." ”

The conversation between the two involved himself, and Edmund didn't care much about it, and after dividing the cake with Becker and the others, Edmund saw that Eugenie seemed to be peeking here, he hesitated for a moment, then cut off another piece of cake, put it on the plate, ignored the jokes of his companions, and walked towards Eugenie with the plate in his hand.

Eugenie also noticed Edmund's movements, and quickly lowered her head to wipe the table, as Edmund approached, her face became more and more red, Eugenie was not stupid, Tony and Manny didn't have a door on their mouths, and after a long time, Eugenie also knew that Edmund might like her.

Eugenie secretly glanced at Edmund, eighteen-year-old Edmond is not very handsome, but after many years of practicing swords, he has his own heroic spirit, Edmon came to the front, Eugenie quickly retracted his gaze, his chest pounded, and the wiping action suddenly became fast.

Behind the bar in the distance, Honoré was anxious and grabbed the towel, angry at his daughter's incompetence, Becker and Tony's two gangs were embarrassed, so that Honoré had no power to resist, and the mead processing business was on the right track, although Honoré secretly hated that most of the profits were taken by Becker and others, and there was nothing he could do, but when he heard that Edmund might be interested in his daughter, he had a crooked brain, anyway, the free labor force Charles was also driven away by him because of what happened at the beginning, Honoré felt that he could rely on his daughter to win over Edmund, Enhance your voice in the face of Becker and others in the future.

"It's my birthday, and you can have a piece of cake, Eugenie."

"Hmm." Eugenie still lowered her head and replied in a voice like a mosquito.

Edmund put the cake on the table but didn't leave, hesitated for a moment, which made Eugenie's heart beat faster.

Edmund glanced at Becker in the distance and said, "Can you do me a favor?" ”

When Eugenie heard this, she was a little disappointed, but she was not so shy because of this, and asked, "What are you busy with?" ”

When Edmund heard this, he took out a letter and a small notebook from his bosom and handed them to Eugenie: "Help me give these two things to Becker tomorrow night, and help me keep them a secret until then." ”

Edmund watched as Eugenie took the letter and notebook, and although his face was curious, he obediently did not turn it over without his consent, and then carefully put it away, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

But the next moment, Edmund seemed to think of something, and his face looked a little gloomy, and he whispered to Eugenie, "You are a good girl, Eugenie. ”

Edmund's words made Eugenie blush and become nervous again, but after Edmund said this, he stopped and returned to the table where Becker and the others were.

Eugenie felt both relieved and disappointed.

Celebrating his birthday, Edmund said that he wanted to go home to the old mansion and left alone, leaving Becker and Tony to continue chatting in the tavern.

The next day, Becker didn't see Edmund for a day of training in the dojo, and he felt a little strange in his heart, so he asked Tony with a phone bug, and Tony also said that he hadn't seen Edmund for a day.

Becker was puzzled, so he didn't go back to Frostmoon Village at night, and planned to stay in the dojo for one night to see if Edmund would return to the dojo in the evening, but in the evening, Eugenie ran to the dojo alone to find Becker and handed him a letter and a notebook.

Becker frowned and opened the envelope, and there was a scribbled handwriting in his eyes, not to mention the format of the letter, Edmund's literacy level was not much better than that of illiterate, and his writing was twisted and turned, but fortunately Edmund had been taught by Becker for the past year, and Becker could recognize what Edmund had written:

"Becker, I'm out to sea."

"I can't argue with your opinion of pirates, there may be cowards like Denton among the pirates who go to the sea, but I believe that there are also warriors who are not afraid of life and death, and I will never forget the look on my father's face when he came home every time he came home to tell the story of his adventures, it was pride and joy, not the fear of death."

"My father will not be a coward like Denton, nor will he abandon his original purpose and become what you call a rogue who specializes in robbing houses, he is a pirate, but he is also a great adventurer, a free man, I will prove this with practice, I am Kasowitz. Daniel's son, who bears my father's blood, and if I have not succumbed to the hardships of life and death on the sea, my father will not succumb to it! ”

"I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye to you in person, but I know I can't say anything about you, if I tell you in person, I will definitely be left behind by you, but I don't want to be a coward who faces the dream I have dreamed of since I was a child, and I don't even dare to practice the first step, so I went to sea alone, and when I find out the treasure of One Piece, I will definitely give you half of it, which is an apology."

"In addition, I left you the house in Momiji Village, and my most valuable treasure - a notebook that memorizes all my move names, and I remember all my own move names, so the notes can no longer be used, so I will give them to you, I think you can use them when you go to sea in the future, we are good brothers, I don't mind you borrowing from my move names, hahaha."

Becker read the letter, and finally understood why Edmund had changed his temper over the past year, and was willing to learn sailing with him, and it turned out that he was ready to go to sea alone.

Sure enough, it was a second-year teenager, and Becker scolded in a low voice.

Becker raised his head and saw that Eugenie had not left, his face was a little curious, but he was embarrassed to ask for it, and only secretly looked at the letter in Becker's hand.

Becker glanced at Eugenie, looked down at the letter in his hand, and thought about something again, and sighed in his heart, although Edmond wrote the letter freely and relaxedly, he must have the worst plan in his heart, and wanted to go to sea without worry, and did not want to be like his father, leaving a woman at home who had always cared about him.

Becker handed the letter to Eugenie, and when Eugenie took it carefully, she read it carefully, and the girl's face gradually lowered with the contents of the letter.

After a while, after reading the letter, Eugenie lowered her head and wanted to return the letter to Becker, but Becker did not answer, and watched Eugenie carefully put the letter back in the envelope, and after putting it with her, she opened the notebook left by Edmund.

As he had seen it for the first time, Becker was slightly distracted by the exaggerated and ridiculous names of the moves in his notebook, then took out a pen from his pocket, looked back at the dojo, and wrote at the end of the note: "One heart flow."
