Chapter 17 Sunny and Rainy

Hearing the general yellow ape praise her mother, Nana flattened her mouth, glared at the man cautiously, quickly lowered her eyes, and intuitively told her that this person must be playing some bad idea now...

It's just a pity that she's still very weak now, and even if she guesses, she can't do anything.

The feeling of powerlessness was so bad that her original fear gradually turned into loss and depression.

Although Nana knew very well from the beginning that the Admiral Yellow Ape, who was in charge of the Naval Science Department, was a strong man standing at the peak, even if she had such an understanding, she was still frightened when she actually faced it.

Ignoring the absolute suppression of all beings, carelessly maneuvering with ease...

Admiral Yellow Ape... The breath is as sparse as a cloud, but it has a sense of compellingness, which cannot be ignored and is elusive.

This is the highest combat power that pirates fear...

And that's... Mom said, standing at the top but not the strongest force... After thinking about it, Nana couldn't help but glance at the man again, but her small movements were immediately discovered in the next second.

The corners of the Yellow Ape General's mouth seemed to deepen a little, "Yay~ What are you thinking?" ”

"Defeat you someday." Nana replied quickly.

"yes~" The man was slightly stunned, his eyes flashed, and he smiled coldly, "It's really ambitious, but..."

…………

After a long time, back to the office of the general yellow ape, Nana was still a little dazed, the semi-enclosed space was full of messes, those violent cries and flesh were blurred, like a nightmare, even if she woke up, she had palpitations.

Nana has always known her shortcomings and is now ready to face it.

If catching a glimpse of the strange traces hidden in her mother's clothes in the early hours of the morning made her vow to become stronger quickly, then just now... Nana clearly measured the level of her strength, and she also had a clear understanding of the gap between the and the reference figures.

When General Yellow Ape returned to his office, he sat down on the couch again, as if nothing had happened, and talked to the head of the medical department as usual.

Comparing the two sides, Nana once again felt that she was too ... Less careless.

But it doesn't matter, she pinched her fist, Nana cheered herself up in her heart, she was better than time...

What about being ambitious?

Ambition and ambition can often be equated, and goals will become the driving force.

…………

"Little girl?"

The elder's voice was gentle and kind, Nana collected her thoughts, raised her eyes to the Commander of the Medical Department, looked at her for a moment, looked away a little, and Greg asked, "Polusalino What are you doing with this little girl?" She doesn't look very good. ”

"Huh?" Sluggish, Nana reflexively looked at the Yellow Ape General, blinked, a little confused, did she look bad?

Flipping through Wen Jiàn's hand paused slightly, the corner of the general yellow ape's eyes squinted, and he turned away in an instant, and smiled casually, "Sit down and drink a glass of water first, and sort these out later." Lifting his chin at the pile of materials, he continued, "Tomorrow morning hand over a report on this incident..."

"Also, don't let me see those high-sounding but useless words, I want to see your personal thoughts, whatever you want, it doesn't matter if it's whimsical, as long as it has something to do with it."

Before she had time to think about the meaning of the man's words, Nana nodded, "Yes, sir." Then he went to the corner of the sofa, sat down, and poured himself a glass of water, taking a small sip.

Warm water slides down the throat and slowly flows into the stomach... The taste buds discerned the shallow sweetness, and the just right amount of sugar slightly soothed the nerves, Nana exhaled without a trace, and sat down a little softer.

Then the glass of water was held in her hand, her eyes quietly raised a few points, and the rising smoke blurred into her vision, and through the meager moisture, Nana quietly looked at the medical commander sitting across the sofa.

The clear-faced elder was concentrating on reading the text, his eyebrows locked deeply, and his expression was full of worry and heaviness...

After a while, Nana carefully staggered her eyes, and at the same time remembered that the elder had said not long ago, 'At least the civilians survived', half of joy and half sadness, and after thinking about it, she put the cup in her hand back in its place, and instead picked up a document and looked at it again.

Civilians survived, domineering and Devil Fruits can insulate the infection, so the remaining part of the people... Is Chief Greg worried about those people?

I don't know what I can do, but... It is better than doing nothing, her mother taught her that 'things are done by man', and where there is no road, it becomes a road when she walks too much, like some small untouched corners of the island of Marinford, and her mother leads her to wander, and for a long time, there are shallow traces in the depths of the lush vegetation.

Those traces... It becomes the road.

So~ Even if I don't know what I can do, I want to do my best.

Compared with the unfathomable general Yellow Ape, Nana is psychologically closer to the person in charge of the medical unit.

Probably because of Mr. Stokes, Chief Greg has a similar temperament to the teacher, and Nana, who was taught by Mr. Stokes when she was a child, prefers this older man who tries to spread kindness.

Her upbringing lacked the fatherly love that shouldn't have been missing, and she had a little bit... Mom said she was sorry, but Nana didn't think anything was there.

Fate is a wonderful thing, many times even if it is a complete family, children may not be able to get double love, Nana has also seen children in the town with both parents live like orphans, but only her mother is happier.

Mom said that it is a very barren idea that a person's happiness is pinned on a specific person or thing.

The world is a kaleidoscope, wonderful, gorgeous, chaotic, and the scenery that you glimpse when you turn around inadvertently, even if it is just a wildflower, can make people happy, and everything in the years can be turned into happiness.

It has nothing to do with people or things, it is a state of mind.

Nana didn't quite understand what her mother said, she was still young, but her mother was always right, and she was happy.

…………

Time passed quickly, and the light in the office of the general yellow ape gradually turned from the soft and moist of the morning to the warmth of the sun.

Putting down the last document, Nana gathered her attention, rubbed her eyes, turned her head to look in the direction of the window, and muttered a small grunt.

Noticing her subconscious movements, Chief Greg asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the little girl?" ”

"I'm hungry." Nana replied in a whisper, blushing, and glanced at the untouched kettle in the corner of the coffee table without notice, accentuating the grief in her tone, "I'm hungry." ”

The stomach makes a silent protest, the body needs to replenish calories, carbohydrates, proteins, water ... The signal of slight thirst came from the head of the medical department.

Chief Greg was stunned, looked at the sky, and then laughed, "Before you know it's noon." He put down his hand casually, turned his head to the general Huang Ape, who had already left the sofa and sat behind the desk, and said, "Do you want to have lunch with the little girl?" Polusalino. ”

"yes~The two of us are still ourselves~" General Yellow Ape didn't raise his head, he wrote hard in his hand, paused and said, "Mrs. Anna is in the dormitory, you can go to her." ”

Nana narrowed her eyes and was immediately very happy, "Thank you, sir!" ”

Receiving the supreme commander's wave to leave, Nana smiled and was about to leave, but after a little hesitation, she reached out and poured a glass of water from the hospitality tray and carefully placed it near the old elder.

Finally, he blinked, and with excitement, he trotted to the exit of the office.

………… Dividing line ............

The office door opens and then closes.

The general Yellow Ape made a stroke of a pen in his hand, glanced up in the direction of the door, and then closed his gaze and turned to the corner of the room.

Greg. House's face remained unchanged, his gaze resting on the glass of water in front of him, and there was a shallow stunned expression in his expression.

"yes~ My little subordinate is a good boy, right?" The yellow ape hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "I found that you haven't eaten a drop of water since last night, and she reminded you just now, and she knows how to pour water for you..."

"I don't have this kind of treatment as a chief~"

"Born to see and hear, so sharp?" Greg. House picked up the water glass, his tone of surprise and his eyes warmed slightly, "The little girl is a little afraid of you, why don't you be transferred to my medical department?" ”

The tone was as casual as a joke, and the commander of the medical department snorted lightly, lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "Such softness is not suitable for your side." ”

"yes~ No, I'm very optimistic about her~" The yellow ape smiled, shook his head and refused, but he didn't tell the truth, it is impossible to be so sensitive when he is born to see and hear, the little girl under his command is to listen to the sound of all things.

Young children should [listen] to see Greg. The instinctive signal of House's body, and this induction, Rao is a strong person like the yellow ape can not reach it, domineering to the point of perfection, they are able to identify the condition of other people, but in the end, it is a little worse.

The existence of all things themselves, those silent narrations, can be truly heard by a few people in the world.

He was an intern in the science department... With such qualifications, how could the Yellow Ape General let go and let her be buried?

Greg. House was kind, and the yellow ape also found that the little girl was too well protected, soft and innocent, strictly speaking, not suitable for the army, and even more so not suitable for the cruel science department that had to be calm many times.

was promoted unusually at the beginning, on the one hand, because of her talent in biology, and on the other hand, because of her heart.

…………

Saying that 'genius' is not true, the Navy Science Department decided to admit the child's general, and the report submitted to the Admiral Yellow Ape mentioned that the child took a fancy to the idea of finding another way.

The child was very interesting, even a little whimsical, and she said that her interest in biological research stemmed from the desire to find a way to survive.

In the great waterway, due to the special weather, the environment of each island is different, the biological chain is different, and natural factors create a natural distinction between the islands, some rich and some barren.

The interns of the Faculty of Science hope to find a stable and peaceful life for the inhabitants of the island, not by force, but from an economic point of view, according to the characteristics of the island itself.

The conditions of human existence, air, water, and food, ensure these, and then further improve the material life, and then achieve stability.

Stabilize people's hearts and stabilize the situation.

Much of the reason for the chaos is the displacement of the people, not only by the inaction of the authorities, but also by the harsh environment of the islands.

Life is happy and stable, and the forced risk will naturally decrease.

A good start, a ring of development, and finally a change of qiē.

The little girl's decision sounded very... Simplicity.

In the end, it was a utopian idea that favored intellectuals, but it also touched the officers of the Ministry of Science who went to the naval academy at that time.

Admiral Huang Ape approved the report of early admission, and let the young girl whose physical qualifications did not meet the standards of the navy elite and should theoretically be eliminated entered the biology group of the Ministry of Science and became an intern.

The navy is very inclusive, the supremacy of force, and will not neglect other aspects, if it is only because of the lack of physical knowledge, it is a pity to turn away.

The young girl is innocent and innocent, but she has endless plasticity, and eliminating her will not have an impact on the future of the navy, but leaving her behind, perhaps... She will be the future of the Navy.

…………

The addition of an intern under his command is not too noteworthy for the general Yellow Ape, except for glancing at the personnel resume when he reviewed the report at the beginning, knowing that he was just over fifteen years old from a single-parent family, and then the little girl stayed in the science department, like a drop of water falling into the sea.

If it weren't for the frequent accidents in recent days, the general yellow ape would not have paid attention at all.

Gathering his mind, the yellow ape simply threw away the unfinished business and got up, "It's going to be busier next, let's go eat now~ Don't let down the little girl's kindness, Gregor." ”

Using the child who left not long ago as an excuse, the general Yellow Ape prevents the medical commander from continuing to work hard, lest the workaholic attack become overburned before the problem is solved.

So far, it's only the first batch of personnel to have their blood analyzed, and the results are good, but there's more to come, and the most worrying solution to the 'civilian infection' crisis is to start with... Find out foreign substances and study countermeasures.

Piles and piles cannot be achieved overnight.

Greg. House sighed, got up, and asked in a low voice, "Lady Anna?" That kid just was..."

"Yay~" The yellow ape nodded, thought about it and changed his mind, and opened his mouth to invite, "Why don't you go and see the lady last night?" ”

Regarding the matter mentioned by Huang Ape, the person in charge of the medical department nodded, "It's okay to visit, after all, her situation is special." As he spoke, he looked at the yellow ape who had already put his hand on the doorknob, and his tone was not without admonition, "Don't irritate her." ”

"Yay~ Do I look so bad-hearted?" The yellow ape laughed for a while, thought about it and said, "Don't worry~ I'm not so bored, and Mrs. Anna can't afford to miss it now." ”

…………

One step out of the office, the steps are not slow, the snow-white general's cloak swings the corners of the robe, thousands of folds, the afternoon sun shines on the long corridor, the wind brings out the warm quiet, the general yellow ape looks at the sky outside, under the dark tea lenses, his eyes are slightly narrowed.

Mrs. Anna was arranged in the dormitory of the Ministry of Science, originally to determine whether she was infected, and the blood test report showed that she and her daughter were fine, and if it was morning, the yellow ape would tell the lady to leave at will, or to stay.

But now...

Now, knowing that young children are not born to see and hear, but to hear the sound of all things, the lady must stay.

Staying in the Ministry of Science, or staying in the Headquarters, no matter which department, must always stay in the Navy's sights, for her safety.

Because her daughter cares about her very, very much, if something happens... In case of... For the naval camp, the loss of a listener to the voice of all things would be immeasurable.

And to be able to teach children who are born to listen to the sound of all things like this...

That Lady Anna... It really made the Yellow Ape General very curious.

You must know that most gifted people have a very bad childhood, human beings are extremely repulsive to unknown creatures, the fear of power is instinctive, even if the mother loves her children deeply, many times there is nothing she can do.

The little intern is protected to the core, and her heart is calm and soft, and Mrs. Anna, who raised her, is really amazing.

In the secret room before, the yellow ape praised the young girl for being outstanding, it was not a vain statement, if it wasn't for his suspicion and temptation, the so-called 'born to see and hear' can really be used as a perfunctory answer.

The yellow ape does not care about the cunning of the younger girl, because she is protecting herself, and on the other hand, her mother is wiser, and a sixteen-year-old child is soft and tough without losing her vigilance, and you can imagine the effort that her mother put into her upbringing.

That fragile mother... It is so mysterious that the general Yellow Ape has to admire and be curious.

…………

Naval Science Department dormitory.

Knocking on the closed door, before he could open his mouth, a burst of food wafted out along the crack in the door, and the little girl stared at her eyes with an unhappy look, which made the hungry yellow ape general rise up even more badly.

Obviously I was quite afraid of him when I left, how could I just do it in the blink of an eye... Dare to show him the face when he finds a backer?

"yes yes ~ don't you welcome your sir?" felt that this kid was a little bit of a shut-off on the spot to let him eat the closed door, and the general yellow ape suddenly... I feel a little complicated, "It's not good~"

"Nana?" Behind the door, a gentle and soft voice came, "Why don't you open the door?" ”

"Mom, it's Mr. Yellow Ape." The little girl opened the door with a flat mouth, and after a pause saw another person, her eyes overflowing with a little brisk softness, "Sir Gregor." ”

As soon as he stepped into the room, the yellow ape general handed a food box to the little girl standing by the door, smiled, raised his eyes a little, and saw that the lady was leaning out of the entrance, with shallow hooked lips, and a smile spread in her eyes, incredibly gentle.

"Mom~"

Without waiting for the two people who looked at each other to speak, the lady's attention was drawn away by the child's cry, and the yellow ape glanced at the little girl who hurriedly ran past her, and the original intention of leaving after seeing it was changed to... Stay for a meal.

Because it's so interesting~ The little girl's attitude like hiding from locusts.

"Yay~ excuse me, Lady Anna." The yellow ape smiled and walked in as he spoke, and by the way, as expected, he found that the child, who had rubbed the food box next to his mother, had a wrinkled face like a bun.

Anyway, if the food box he brought along the way is not solved, it will be a waste~ General Yellow Ape thought without guilt.

…………

In a short time, the yellow ape and Greg sat on the sofa on one side of the room, and the owner of the room followed her mother, who was more calm and gentle than the young girl.

After taking the food box, she softly asked the child to take out the food and put it on the table, and then walked to the open kitchen to continue to busy.

Looking the lady up and down for a moment, his gaze slid over the snow-white skin exposed under the half-pulled sleeves of her shirt to make sure that nothing was unusual, the yellow ape closed his gaze, and Greg glanced at each other before looking around.

The layout of the house is almost the same as that of the admiral's dormitory, the Ministry of Science takes special care of the researchers, and the rationing is compared with the generals, and this little intern gets special care because he is a girl, and the independent one-bedroom and one-hall residence is not as good as the resident's house, but the equipment that should be there is it.

Because it is a private space, the general layout remains the same, and there are many more personal style things in the house, and many times, everyone's personality will be reflected in the details of life.

But... Yellow apes rarely see this...

Intellectuals are somewhat up-and-so-spirited, young girls should be more delicate and soft, and the general Yellow Ape thought that he would see a delicate boudoir, or a bookish abode.

It's just unexpected... The bedroom door is closed and you can't see clearly, connected to the kitchen hall, the furnishings are dazzling at a glance, not cluttered, but a lot of things seem... The owner of this house has a wide range of interests.

The unfinished wooden ship, the ship model is strictly reduced to the scale of the real ship, a double-deck building ship, and it can be seen from the tools and a few small parts of the workbench on the side that the zuò is made by the child.

Next to the wall of the bedroom stood a tall wooden frame, and the shelves were decorated with all sorts... Books, bonsai, toys... Small balconies, through open floor-to-ceiling windows, many lush plants come alive towards the sun.

Greg. House's gaze soon stopped at a low corner of the balcony, apparently fond of the miniature scenery of stone pots, while the great yellow ape's interest hooked up the ornaments on the wooden table next to the sofa.

A black-glazed porcelain bowl with a goldfish floating in it, with a soft, ethereal and beautiful posture.

Merely... Raising his hand and lightly tapping it, his fingertips touched a touch of coldness, and the big yellow ape hooked the corners of his mouth, "Did you draw it?" It's a clever move. ”

It is not difficult to draw a goldfish, but the difficult thing is that it is suspended in transparent gelatin, and if you look at it, you will recognize it as a living creature if you are not careful.

The person who completed it had a very subtle mind.

…………

Retracting his fingertips and turning his gaze, the Yellow Ape General immediately noticed that the young child was secretly paying attention to his movements, and his eyes were as depressed as if he saw that his beloved object was about to be taken away.

Raising his eyebrows, the yellow ape sneered, he didn't have the bad character to win people's love, but... It seems that this child's mind is too scattered and too soft, and if she wants to train her to be the ace of the future naval camp, she still has less tempering.

Unhappy children are easy to grow up, and this little genius under his command... There are too few twists and turns.

The little girl flattened her mouth, and her eyes were even more melancholy, and after a moment she turned her head and sat down in her chair, as if she were sulking.

The Yellow Ape General immediately got up, and before he could take a step, his eyes caught a glimpse of the lady in the kitchen turning her face, her watery gaze first at her daughter and then at him, her brow furrowed, like ripples, so lightly.

In an instant, the weak lady turned back as if nothing had happened, but the general Yellow Ape turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

This Lady Anna... How did he forget it, many times, abnormal qualifications are not created out of nothing, and in most cases, superior abilities come from the genes of the previous generation.

…………

Standing silently beside this lady, the general yellow ape pretended to have no intention of chuckling, "Madame's skills are very good." ”

Soft black hair, delicate limb lines, a little sickly between the eyebrows, low eyelashes to cover the blue eyes, the corners of the mouth pouting a quiet gentle smile.

Hearing him speak, the action of stirring the soup in her hand paused, she didn't raise her eyes, and replied in a low voice, "It's just an ordinary dish, you are too awarded, Mr. Yellow Ape General." ”

"yes~" shook his head with a smile, thought about it and stirred up the topic again, "Madame's daughter challenged me~" The yellow ape said while squinting his gaze to her reaction, "Defeat me one day~"

"Mom~" The little girl quickly followed the kitchen and stood on the other side of her mother, her eyes wide and defensive.

"Nana, don't be rude to your chief." Still in a gentle voice, he raised his gaze slightly when he spoke, and the yellow ape general got a very strange look, and after a moment of silence, the lady beside him asked softly, "What is the original intention of becoming stronger?" ”

The yellow ape was stunned, and then heard the young child mutter a few times before replying, "Protect yourself and enjoy life." ”

"But mother—" the little girl blushed, as if she were anxious for affirmation.

"Moving forward with the goal of defeating someone will make your path narrower and narrower." Raising her hand to turn off the stove, she didn't look at her daughter, her eyes looked directly at him, her smile was gentle but cold, even a little reproachful, "Standing in an open place and looking at the scenery, or being locked in a tower room to watch the scenery, which one does Nana prefer?" ”

"It doesn't matter what Nana wants to do, she aims to become a general, she doesn't have to think that she must be defeated, and she should go further and further."

"Are you right? General Yellow Ape. ”

"Yay~ It seems..."After thinking about it, he quickly glanced at the child she was protecting behind him without a trace, the yellow ape closed his gaze, looked intently at the lady who was looking up at him with a high face, squinted his eyes, and smiled for a while, "Anna is right. ”

…………

After a moment of silence, she turned around as usual, and softly asked the child to bring the boiled soup to the dining table, and when the little girl didn't notice that she was deceived for a while, she turned her face back and frowned, "Don't bully my child, is it okay?" ”

"Yay~ How can it be bullying?" He smiled and turned his head to look at the little girl in the dining room who had been distracted by Gregor before turning his gaze back to her, lowering his voice and almost whispering, "Madame's children will be the future of the Navy." ”

How can it be bullying? Whether it's provoking a young child's competitiveness, or suppressing her to make her discover the gap with the strong, there will be all kinds of trials and tribulations in the future, in order to... Let her one day rise to the top, to the position of the Navy.

The listener of the voice of all things, with such qualifications, how could he let her be buried?

But... Protect yourself and enjoy life... The child's subconscious answer was not condensed, it must have been a thought formed by infiltrating without a trace for a long time, from her mother.

Hearing the answer, the general Huang Ape realized why the little girl had a soft and calm personality and could not lose her vigilance.

It is a very incredible thing for a child who is born to hear countless voices to grow up safely, and it is even more so strange to develop a peaceful character that is so close to ordinary people... Magical.

He thought that the little girl's mother was very protective of her, but he didn't expect... Lady Anna's teachings... is not to protect the child so that the child is ignorant of the world, but to lead her to look higher and farther.

It's remarkable.

She was so keen, she sensed his intentions in a few words or even a few eyes, and his actions were to lead the kid on the set path, to become stronger with the goal of the highest combat power of the navy, and gradually remove all kinds of useless interests that were distracted by the guide, and to grow into a naval ace little by little.

She's so powerful, she almost instinctively notices it, and preemptively brings back the child who hasn't fallen into the puzzle yet.

These emerald-like eyes can see the scenery comparable to the world's powerhouses.

Even though it is weak, the soul is strong.

…………

"It's easy to get into trouble if you're too persistent, and Mr. General shouldn't bind his wings that haven't opened yet."

She dropped a sentence worthy of accusation and then turned around, he reached out and took her elbow without a trace, and quickly let go, "Madame can't bear that she can achieve nothing?" If you stand in a high position..."

She turned her face back with a gentle smile, "Just let it be, I just don't want anyone to deliberately arrange the future." ”
