There is nothing new under the sun.

Based on Higashinohara's knowledge of the history of the Grand Duchy of Shayash, which centuries ago became the richest state in the northern ice fields with its three pillar industries, finance, radio and television, and steel, it has been passed down from Grand Duke to Grand Duchy to Grand Duchy for generations.

At the time of the dissolution of the Grand Duchy of Shayash, the last Grand Duke was Dunant. Othello, when the state was declared dissolved, was found in the royal palace in the capital city of Tarkov Fort a few days later.

The supple features in front of her, the blond hair like satin-like Kolotia. Othello is the eldest daughter of Archduke Dunant, and will be the next Archduke of Shayash as well.

It's a pity that the accident came too suddenly.

Overnight, the Grand Duchy of Shayash, once glorious on the northern ice fields, was declared dissolved, and the head of state, Archduke Dunant, died.

She suddenly became a princess who fled the country.

However, Higashinohara still doesn't understand that it's no secret that Grand Duke Dunan of the Grand Duchy of Shayash, which is adjacent to Wano Country, has only one pearl in his palm.

But I never heard of other daughters.

Could it be that Nishimaru Miri's mother is an illegitimate daughter.

Or is it a distant relative?

But even if that's the case, Nishimaru Miri's mother was smuggled to Wano Country about seven years ago, when the Grand Duchy of Shayash was not on the verge of disintegration despite the rampant power of the domestic revolutionary army. Oselle's sister is at least from a ducal family.

How did you smuggle into Wano Country?

And married to a gangster like Shunsuke Nishimaru?

Kolotia. Othello seemed to see Higashinohara's doubts, smiled a little bitterly, glanced at the stunned Nishimaru Miri with a look of pity, and explained:

"Although my sister and I are not the same mother, we have had a good relationship since childhood, and my sister is not treated by her father because of her background and family, and she has always been with me in the palace but has never revealed her identity."

"But my sister has a weak personality, she is a person who is easily satisfied, and she has never been dissatisfied with this, and I thought that our sisters could live their lives in peace and happiness."

Speaking of which, Kolotia. Othello paused, lowered his eyelids, and said with his eyelashes trembling slightly, "But eight years ago, something happened in the Grand Duchy of Shayash, many of the Celestial Members of the House of Lords were assassinated by the Dawn Revolutionary Army in the palace council, and the wrath of the World Government sent the Seventh Ruling Envoy of the Ruling Division to investigate thoroughly. ”

"Later, the adjudication department somehow found out that my sister's family was related to the Dawn Revolutionary Army that planned the assassination, and my father was forced by the pressure of the adjudication division to cooperate with the purge, and the capital Tarkov Fort shed a lot of blood that day, and my sister escaped from the palace and smuggled to the country of Wano."

I see

Higashinohara also remembered the assassination of the Celestial Men in the Grand Duchy of Shayash eight years ago, when more than 20 members of the Celestial House of Lords who visited the Grand Duchy of Shayash were all killed.

The Grand Duchy of Shayash underwent a bloody purge from the top down, and it is said that during that month, the most broadcast on the news was that a certain nobleman was arrested and imprisoned for colluding with the Dawn Revolutionary Army.

However, under the weight of bloodshed, there will inevitably be stronger resistance, not to mention that the Grand Duchy of Shayash has always been known as a fighting nation on the northern ice field, and that purge not only failed to sweep away the revolutionary forces in the country, but provoked a greater backlash.

In just a few years, other revolutionary forces sprung up one after another, and a long period of turmoil and pain began in the country, and the prosperous country on the northern ice sheet also went into decay and disintegration.

Higashinohara's face showed a thoughtful expression, it turned out that Nishimaru Miri's mother was also a victim of that incident, and she was smuggled into Wano Country incognito.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

If you follow Kolotia. Othello's narration

Nishimaru Miri's mother's weak and easily satisfied character was smuggled to a place like Wano Country, and it is not surprising that she was deceived by the scum of Nishimaru Shunsuke

Kneeling on a tatami mat Nishimaru Miri, in Higashinohara and Kolotia. Othello listened quietly with her supple blonde hair hanging down as they spoke, her long eyelashes cast a shadow over her olive-green pupils from the golden bangs on her forehead, and the curls at the ends of her hair occasionally swayed slightly.

Obviously, her little heart was not as calm as it seemed.

It wasn't until the two of them were about to finish talking at this time that Nishimaru Miri raised his head, his moist eyes were like discarded beasts, and he asked very slowly and carefully:

"Mom.

Why did she leave me here after she gave birth to me? ”

Kolotia. Otsairee was stunned when she heard this, looking at the little girl in front of her who looked very similar to her sister, and her heart suddenly seemed to be touched in the softest place.

She bent down slightly and looked at Nishimaru Miri with pity, and said softly, "Xiao Weili, your mother loves you, she was ready to live an ordinary life when she married your father, but after marriage, your father was drunk, gambling, and domestic violence, she didn't want you to grow up in such a childhood, but she belonged to a black household in Wano Country and couldn't compete with your father for custody." ”

"At that time, the bloody purge of the Grand Duchy of Shayash had ended, and someone from your mother's family contacted her to go back, saying that he would help her fight for custody."

Speaking of which, Kolotia. Othello's delicate face had an angry look.

"But your mother didn't expect that these were her brother's conspiracy, her brother served in the Dawn Revolutionary Army, he was a fanatic who wanted to overthrow the world government, and coaxed her back to compete for the position of the next female archduke, not to help her fight for your custody at all."

"Your mother didn't want to fight and tried to run back to you, but she was discovered by the Dawn Revolutionary Army, and her brother put her under house arrest, and during this time her heart disease often recurred, and she did not die until this year."

"I found her on my deathbed, and she entrusted you to me, and entrusted me to find you."

Hearing Kolotia mention heart disease, Higashinohara's face also showed a thoughtful look, no wonder Nishimaru Miri had congenital heart disease before, which turned out to be inherited from her mother.

If it weren't for the blessing in disguise of being kidnapped and curing heart problems while awakening his abilities, I'm afraid he would have been tormented by illness now.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but look at the little girl.

Since Nishimaru Miri became sensible, he may have complained a little bit in his heart about the mother who had abandoned her.

At this moment, when I heard this aunt who fell from the sky tell such a difficult past, I was stunned in place, her peridot-like eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and her stunned expression looked distressing.

After a while, she reacted a little, and noticed that Higashimohara's face was worried, she hurriedly raised her little hand and rubbed her eyes, and tried to squeeze a smile on her little face and said:

"I'm fine, big brother, don't worry, it turns out that my mother hasn't given up on me, and I'm very satisfied knowing this."

Came in so long and knelt on the tatami mat Kolotia. Ocella also senses that Nishimarumiri's dependence on Higashinohara seems to go far beyond the realm of neighbors and ordinary friends.

She knew that her sister had been deceived by scum once in Wano Country, and she was subconsciously a little vigilant.

But when she thought in her heart that this young man had saved herself on the train, his heart was not bad, he seemed to be very gentle and elegant, and he was still a very good and reliable person, which was not the same as the scum who deceived her sister in the first place, and her brows suddenly stretched again.

Higashinohara sensed Nishimaru's depressed mood and didn't want to talk about her mother anymore, so he watched Kolotia change the subject, "Then you came to Wano Country this time. Who on the train wants to work against you? ”

On the train back from Hokkaido, the two sides met and did not know each other, but at that time she seemed to be being chased and killed by a group of Shayashi's revolutionary forces, what was the reason behind this?

If he didn't understand it clearly, Higashinohara wouldn't dare to contact her casually, he didn't want to prevent thieves for a thousand days in the future, and even put Nishimaru Miri in danger again.

Hearing this, Kolotia raised her head, looked at Higashinohara's gentle and friendly face and pure eyes, and inexplicably relieved her heart and confided the truth, "I was protected by the Winter Revolutionary Army, and they wanted me to rebuild the Grand Duchy of Shayash, and it was the people of the Storm Revolutionary Army who hunted me down, and they opposed the former political system of the Grand Duchy of Shayashi. ”

The Grand Duchy of Shayash used to be governed by a Grand Duke or Lady Archduke of State, Commander of the Armed Forces, with both legislative and executive powers and the power to dissolve Parliament.

Clearly, the Storm Revolutionary Army did not approve of the old form of government, and wanted to build a new house on top of the collapsed ruins, rather than rebuild the same house as the original.

Kolotia lowered her head slightly, and said in a somewhat depressed voice, "This time I came to Wano Country because the people of the Winter Revolutionary Army brought me here, and they wanted me to seek help from Wano Country after an official audience on the Emperor's birthday, but I didn't expect that something like that happened and now the Emperor does not receive any foreign guests." ”

The Emperor's birthday?

Higashinohara couldn't help but look a little strange when he heard it, it seemed that the "road to recovery" of the little aunt in front of him seemed to be mixed up by himself and the guy who disguised himself as himself.

Higashinohara doesn't feel sorry.

If he was given another chance, he would still choose to do it.

"Little aunt."

Nishimaru Miri squealed softly.

Hearing this, Kolotia's somewhat depressed face suddenly bloomed with a little brilliance, and she looked at Nishimaru Miri with joy on her face, after all, this was her only relative in a foreign country.

"Then you want to rebuild the Grand Duchy of Shayash?" Nishimaru Miri asked in a somewhat childish voice, and this kind of question seemed very precocious from the mouth of a seven-year-old girl of hers.

When Kolotia heard this, she was slightly stunned, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

Whether it was as the heir to the next Grand Duke before the dissolution of the Grand Duchy of Shayash, or now that the country has collapsed and dissolved, she is pushed by the Winter Revolutionary Army to rebuild the country as the daughter of the dead country.

None of this was up to her.

All along, Kolotia was like a marionette, pushed along the way, and like a piece of a puzzle, she was put in the "most needed" position.

Maybe it's the sense of mission in the blood.

For a long time, she had never thought about what she wanted to do, and when she heard Nishimaru Miri's question, she suddenly became at a loss.

Seeing this, Higashinohara couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

A guy who doesn't have ambition can't become a careerist after all. The Winter Revolutionary Army didn't know what to think, and they would actually find this woman.

According to the perception of Higashinohara's two contacts, Kolotia's personality is somewhat similar to her sister, that is, Nishimaru Miri's mother, with a supple and easily satisfying personality, and she is still a little bit innocent when she is young, and she has always been carried away by a sense of mission.

It's just that this kind of major matter involving the country is not something that can be solved by killing one or two people, and it is not something that a high school student in Higashinohara should take care of, and he has nothing to suggest about it.

Remembering the scene he bumped into in the corridor this morning, Higashinohara still asked, out of politeness, "Do you have a place to live now?" ”

"I, I." When Kolotia heard Higashinohara's words, the side of her face couldn't help but blush slightly, and she stammered a little when she spoke.

Obviously, in what she just said, she has always been a princess of the Grand Duchy who has no worries about food and clothing, but she didn't expect to come to Wano Country without even a place to stay, and even live on the streets.

said that it was to complete the "orphanage" of her sister who died of a heart attack before she died, but judging from the situation when the two met today, it was a bit like her aunt really couldn't get along and went to Nishimaru Miri.

Nishimaru is a young pear, but he is very understanding.

And she has been lonely for so long at a young age, although she has the company of Higashinohara, but she is also very happy to learn that there are relatives in this world who are of the same blood as herself.

Seeing Kolotia's embarrassment, she took the initiative to speak, "Auntie, you can stay and live here for the time being, is it okay to live with me." ”

Hearing this, Kolotia hesitated, and Higashinohara couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and said to the side, "Xiao Weili has always wanted to have a relative, if you can stay, she will definitely be very happy." ”

Hearing the words of the two, Kolotia looked left and right at the sincere expressions on the faces of the two, and said in a low voice, "Although I am a little embarrassed, I really don't have a place to go now, if I can. Thank you so much. ”

Speaking of this, Kolotia glanced at Higashinohara and said, "Higashino-kun doesn't need to use honorifics on me, I'm much younger than my sister, I'm twenty-four years old this year, and we're not much different in age, just call me by my name." ”

"Yes, Miss Othello." Higashinohara nodded.

When she heard this, she wanted to say that it was okay to call me "Kolotia", but she felt that it was too intimate, so she smiled and nodded:

"Then please take care of me these days, I will leave here soon after I finish my mission, and I will definitely not cause you trouble."

"Miss Othello is gracious."

Higashinohara stood up, looked down at the time and said, "Let's go down and have breakfast together, you can rest in Xiao Weili's room after eating, I and Weili will go to school first, and you will talk slowly in the evening." ”

When Corotia heard this, she wanted to wave her hand to refuse, but she hadn't eaten all night in the corridor, and her hungry stomach couldn't refuse, so she could only bow her head and say a soft "um" embarrassedly.

Nishimaru Miri took out the spirit of a small host, took Kolotia's hand and went out, she is still relatively rich in daily life now, and she doesn't mind more than one Kolotia at all.

The three of them went downstairs to the convenience store for breakfast, very simple seaweed rice balls and oden, of course Higashinohara didn't let Nishimaru Miri pay, and paid the money first when checking out.

After eating breakfast, sending the dusty Kolotia back to Nishimarumiri's rented room to rest, and telling her all the ways to use the rental appliances and bathing facilities, Higashinohara and Nishimarumiri went out to school.

Because of this little episode in the morning, today's exercise plan for Nishimaru Miri has been put on hold for the time being.

However, her natural ability, whether it is [Di Ting] or [Wang Yu], does not have the requirement of physical convenience, and it doesn't hurt to touch the fish for a day, and Higashinohara has to go to the playground to exercise before class.

When they returned to the classroom after exercising, the people in Class F for a year were not surprised by this, but they admired Higashinohara's perseverance - no matter what wind, rain or bad weather, they could always see the running figure when they came to school and passed by the playground.

Thinking of the legend of this man repeating a grade for three years, but now he has become so good, the teacher who listened to the actual combat class said that his strength is conservatively estimated at the fourth stage of the second order.

Could it be that this is the legendary "diligence can make up for clumsiness"?

Higashinohara naturally didn't know what others thought.

Returning to his seat, Higashinohara began to sort out the books needed for the morning culture class according to the class schedule, and the TV next to the blackboard in front of the classroom was playing today's news, which seemed to be about the general election of the prime minister in March.

The two most vocal candidates were Foreign Minister Taku Amuro who died on the emperor's birthday yesterday, and the remaining one was a 37-year-old high-value lawmaker who was called "the loss of the idol world" in the Diet, Higashi Kawago.

Speaking of which, the Higashimi Valley is different from the "hereditary councilors" who are monopolized by the family in the political arena of Wano Province.

He was born in Hokkaido, his parents divorced at an early age, grew up with his mother and sister, dropped out of school in family difficulties, worked as a supermarket cashier, camera store clerk, and even worked as a moving worker.

To put it bluntly, this is a rare political grassroots from an ordinary background and without the help of a chaebol wife, so he is also very popular with the public, and it is said that when he was transferred from the local government to New Tokyo because of his outstanding political achievements, he was stopped by the local people and retained.

Higashinohara has some impressions of the man on TV who is full of vigor and waving his arms and giving a speech, and remembers that when he was participating in the general election this year, he said, "If you want to change the world, you must first change yourself", and it can probably be seen that this is a more practical parliamentarian.

But at this juncture, the next prime minister of Wano Country is not so easy to do

You must know that the eleventh ruling of Foreign Minister Takuwa Amuro and the Ruling Division made the assassination of the emperor on the same day, and the death of Congressman Hope of Rising Sun Island, which was still pending at the end of last year, and the pressure on the world government can be imagined to be a complete mess waiting for a successor.

However, Higashinohara is not interested in who will be the next prime minister of Wano Province, and it doesn't matter to him who sits in that position, as long as it's not Foreign Minister Taku Amuro.

After two glances at the TV, Higashinohara withdrew his gaze and continued to organize the textbook.

At this time,The head teacher Taidaochuan Asuka walked into the classroom with elegant steps,Standing on the podium and clearing his throat,Then announced a major event in the school park this month:

Exchange meeting from Kyoto sister universities.

It's the end of the month.

I heard that the leader of the Kyoto brother school this time is the owner of the Kyoto generation of kendo masters, the owner of the "idealistic sword", and the genius swordsman Momomiya Rinya, who was once famous in the country of Manwa.

Today is still two in one, ask for a ticket Lulu~
