There was silence for two seconds...... Leo shook his head, feeling that it was still important to save people, so he no longer hesitated.

Stepping back out of the room, he turned and took a step down the street, and then disappeared...... It is enough to prove that in the past four years, Leo's speed has been trained to such a level as a ghost animal.

After Leo disappeared, Perona's gaze in the room dimmed imperceptibly, perhaps another disappointment.

But it didn't take long for Leo to reappear.

It's still as sudden as it was when it disappeared, so unexpected.

And this time, the boy came back with something from the pirate ship on the shore.

It was a small bag of wheat grains, and a small piece of meat.

Leo walked into the room casually, and instead of looking at Perona, he looked at the kitchen and twisted the water pipe.

"Whoa~"

Slightly yellowish rusty water poured out of the faucet.

Leo waited for a moment, during which he smashed some of the wooden furniture in the house and threw it into the fireplace, flashing a dazzling electric light from his fingertips, and easily lit the firewood.

At this time, the fresh water coming out of the tap has returned to its clear state.

Leo found the soup pot that he had left, washed the wheat and put it in, put it in a small half of the water, and searched in the kitchen for a long time, perhaps because he couldn't find something, and then walked out of the house again.

During this period, [Ghost Clone] Perona has been staring at Leo with strange eyes, and her expression is mixed with nervousness, afraid that Leo will suddenly attack.

The boy didn't have that idea at all.

He returned with Twilight in his hand, and with Perona's eyes as if he were an enemy, he swept past him and re-entered the kitchen, slicing the piece of fish into pieces.

So...... Leo began to speak.

"Okay...... I don't dare to slash myself with such a thing, but before that...... I want you to eat something and then you decide whether or not I want to self-harm to gain your trust. ”

Cutting himself inexplicably, like a fool, Leo would not do it. As a person with brains, you can use your brains to solve problems, but you can't ...... Then use extreme methods.

Maybe it's not as likable as the stupid Luffy, but Leo is not Luffy, he has his own methods.

The minced meat is thrown into the soup pot, the water is boiled, and the orange-yellow wheat is tumbling in the boiling water, and from time to time a unique aroma rises.

This couldn't help but tickle Perona's hungry stomach, and even the ghost swallowed the non-existent saliva in a daze.

Leo boiled the water for fifteen minutes, until the wheat was fully boiled and the flavor of the fish was mixed into the soup.

After taking a small bowl and carefully blowing it cool, Leo walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge.

"Well...... Without salt, it may not taste great, but it is nutritious enough and ...... That's all you can eat at this stage. ”

Nodding to the bewildered Perona, Leo picked up Twilight and slashed the locked door of the study on the right side! He didn't make a loud noise, didn't kick up any smoke, and strode in.

"You!"

It was only now that Perona reacted...... Afraid that Leo would do something to her, or poison the food, he urged the ghost in his body! Six or seven transparent shadows crashed into Leo!

That's the legendary Negative Ghost.

Although it has no attack power, as long as it is penetrated, it will fall into a negative state.

Leo frowned, not knowing how to respond, but his first instinct was to place the soup bowl in his hand on the ground steadily, ready to wait for the ghost's attack.

And then......

"Bang~" With a bang, the ghosts crashed into Leo.

“…… What? ”

Leo tilted his head and blinked, not understanding what was going on.

"Ha ?!?!"

When he saw the ghost Perona's inexplicable expression, Leo realized that it was not Perona's ability that failed...... The situation that caused [Negative Ghost] to be unable to penetrate himself is probably still due to him.

"Uh...... What's that? What's the matter, let's wait until you've eaten, I don't mean to hurt you, ...... It's true. Besides, although you are young, you can see my strength, if you really want to harm you, you can't stop it. ”

Ignoring the [Ghost Clone], Leo picked up the bowl again, cut open the entrance to the basement, and walked to the bed to look at the real Perona.

The little girl's appearance was quite miserable.

I still remember that Sanji also had the experience of hunger, which lasted longer than Perona, and his appearance was simply skinny, with sunken cheeks and lips, and basically no muscles all over his body.

Perona is a little better than the mountain, but it's about the same.

An eight-year-old child is as hungry as an old woman in her seventies and eighties.

"Come back and eat."

Leo said to Perona.

[Ghost clone] is like an out-of-body soul, and the real body at this time is unconscious.

Perona hesitated.

"Do you still want to live?"

Leo's tone was stern.

Ghost Perona's eyes instantly turned red.

Do you want to live?

That's a ...... question

Pointless.

Who wouldn't want to live?

……

There was silence for a long time.

“…… Think! ”

Perona the ghost bit her lip and tried not to cry, but her shoulders trembled slightly, and her body trembled in the air, and she lay into her original body.

The vision went dark again.

And when the darkness passed, the smell of wheat in the nostrils became more pronounced! Trying to open his eyes, he saw Leo holding a spoonful of wheat porridge close to his dehydrated and flattened lips.

The little girl finally couldn't control it, as if sand and dust had fallen into her eyes.
