Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Wallet
Waji's situation is put aside for the time being, and he returns to Roland's side first.
After eating the bento and enjoying the beautiful scenery, the three of them chatted for a while before planning to leave.
"Merlin," as soon as she got up, Roland suddenly spoke, handing Merlin something as he spoke, "This one for you." ”
"This is ......" Merlin took what Roland handed over, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, "It's a wallet!" ”
"Well," Roland nodded, "I'm really sorry that I was negligent and actually gave you a stack of money directly, so you just got into trouble." ”
"Where, how can it be the captain's fault? I was too careless," Merlin shook her head and grinned, "but I love this purse!" Thank you, Captain! ”
"It's good if you like it," Roland smiled and looked at Xiaoyu, who was looking at him with a blank eye, "Don't be envious, you have a share." ”
As he spoke, he handed Xiao Yu a wallet of the same style but different colors, all of which were made with the ability of [Predator], and he had naturally mastered the method of making wallets after preying on such people.
Moreover, because the wallet is not a weapon-type item, the style can be freely designed.
"Thank you, Captain!" After Xiao Yu took it, she shouted with the same excitement.
"Alright, let's go, according to the boss, this is just a resting place, and there is a city a little further on, and I heard that the scale is not small, so let's go there and have a look," Roland continued.
"Hmm!" Mei Lin and the others nodded, they were all looking forward to it, especially Mei Lin, the money was not spent just now, and now that she can go to a place where she can shop, it is naturally very good.
However, before leaving, the two of them put the money and other small things in their wallets, and they both smirked as they kept them, and seemed to be in a good mood.
After that, the three of them walked in the direction of Maria's Inn, where they had to pass to get to the city.
On the way, Mei Li kept looking down at the purse in her hand, continued to smirk, and unconsciously fell behind.
Around the corner, Merlin suddenly exclaimed-
"Ouch!"
Roland and Xiaoyu hurriedly looked back, and the scene in front of them was a little familiar.
I saw that Merlin fell to the ground, and opposite her, there was also a girl sitting on the ground, and it seemed that Merlene had collided with someone again......
However, of course, the other party was not the purple-haired girl just now, but a little red-haired girl wearing a hat.
The little girl got up from the ground and ran in the direction of the hotel without saying a word.
Mei Lin also slowly sat up from the ground, and said with a depressed face, "Really, what is today's inexplicable day?" Why do I keep colliding with other people?! ”
"It's not hurt, is it?" Roland didn't answer her question, but asked with some concern.
Merlin shook her head, "How can I say that I am also a person who has been training for almost a month, how can I get injured so easily?" ”
"That's good," Roland breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered something, and continued, "By the way, the little girl was wearing a hat just now, could it be the child that the person I met in front of the hotel was looking for?" ”
"Possibly, though, she's already run away, and we don't know where the man is now, so it looks like there's no way to help them," Merlin said, looking down for something.
"That's right, anyway, she also said that we don't need our help, we'll ......" Roland was halfway through when he was suddenly interrupted by a shout.
"Ahh
The source of the shouting was Merlin, who was so panicked that tears were about to flow out.
"What's wrong? Where did it hurt? Roland was taken aback and said worriedly.
Xiao Yu next to her also looked at Mei Lin with a worried face.
"No, it's the ......," Merlin said, looking up at Roland with tears in her eyes, "That's gone!" ”
"That...... Which is it? Roland was a little puzzled.
"That's it!" Merlin said loudly.
"So, which one is it?" Roland was speechless.
"That's the wallet! The one the captain just gave me! Did it fall on the bench? Merlin said that she was about to go back and look for it.
"No," Xiao Yu grabbed Mei Lin, "I saw you in your hand just now, could it be that you were thrown out?" ”
"But I can't find it!" Merlin shook her head, the first thing she thought about was this possibility, she was looking for it just now, but she didn't see it at all.
"Don't worry, look for it again," Roland comforted, "I can't find it, I'll give you another one." ”
"......It's different," Merlin shook her head slightly, "That's the wallet the captain gave me, which contains the pocket money that the captain gave me for the first time, and ......"
As she spoke, she didn't forget to continue searching, but when she said this, she was stunned suddenly, "Could it be ...... Is that the imp?! ”
"Huh?" Roland frowned, "You mean she stole it?" ”
"It's gone after colliding with her, and I can't find it around here, so she must have stolen it! That little ghost! I'm going to catch you! As she spoke, Merlin had already chased in the direction that the little girl had run away.
Roland didn't say anything, grabbed Xiaoyu, and ran over there as well.
Although Xiaoyu is still a little girl, because of the Devil Fruit's ability, she is not slow to run, and soon they follow Merlin.
However, they had been delayed for so long that they had long since lost sight of the girl.
