153. I'm not going back today
Early the next morning, Szis Garr came to the tavern alone.
Taverns are usually not visited in the morning, so most of them are open in the afternoon.
When he walked into the store, he didn't see Magino.
However, Gal did not leave, but took the initiative to do chores, such as setting up tables, chairs and benches, and then wiping the table with a wet towel.
When Magino came out, he saw him just bending down and re-soaking the rag.
Gal turned back to see Magino's gaze a little distracted, and she woke up, and without saying anything, she began to get busy and move the backyard reserves to the store.
Gal didn't say anything after receiving a greeting from the other party, and continued to wipe the table with his head down, and sped up a bit.
After quickly finishing these chores, he ran to the backyard to help Magino carry the wine.
He had great strength, stacked crates of wine, and then moved into the house in one go, and he didn't feel tired.
But for Magino, it was much easier for her, and it made her feel really good to have a man to help with things.
Mr. Captain didn't do any of these things anyway.
"Just put it here." Magino stood outside the bar, pointed to the empty space below the bar, and spoke his first dialogue of the day.
"Okay." Garr didn't talk nonsense, neatly arranged the wine crates, and sat down across from the bar.
Magino also had to do some tidying up, taking out some of the drinks and putting them on the wine cabinet in the back.
Gal watched her do this and didn't bother.
He thought about the past two days, and already understood why Stella did that yesterday.
But I don't agree.
Magino is a self-reliant woman, and unlike those women who want to stick to men all day long, she is very independent.
It's not that Magino doesn't want to be slimy with her future lover, but ...... She's strong.
This kind of strength can make her give up a lot of things and make a lot of concessions.
If Magino accepts herself, she can not care about her imminent departure.
is even willing to conceive herself and her children, and then be loyal and strong, and raise the children alone.
If she recognizes a person, she accepts whether this life is bitter or sweet.
This is Magino, a girl who is weak on the outside but strong on the inside.
That's why when Gal treats her, he will put everything on the table as clearly as he did yesterday.
He knew Magino would be able to accept those things, even if the future would be painful.
"Stella, what about them? Why didn't you come today? With the wine cabinet packed, Magino could finally sit down and talk to him.
For his direct eyes, Magino today can pretend to be okay compared to yesterday.
"They are all resting, I just brought them to know each other yesterday, and today I am going to recuperate." Gal rested his chin in his hands and replied calmly.
"Oh." Magino tacitly didn't ask Stella why she was resting.
She knew that it was impossible for the color critic in front of her to let go of such a beautiful Stella.
"Don't you have to heal your injuries?" Magino asked.
"I don't need to, I'm an animal-based Devil Fruit ability, and my recovery ability is relatively strong, and I'm almost better now."
"You're also a capable person?" Magino was surprised, because she hadn't seen it.
Flutter β
Garr has a pair of wings growing from his back, and the wings are 5 meters long, which has a great visual impact in the tavern.
Magino covered her mouth: "What kind of ability is this?" β
Gar flapped his wings twice, then folded them behind his back: "Phantom Beast System, Inu Fruit, Great Tengu Form." β
"I don't understand," Magino shook her head.
Although Mr. Captain had told her about the Devil Fruit, she had never seen it.
As a result, in the past few days, I have seen several capable people in a row.
From time to time, she glanced at the wings behind Garr's back and couldn't help but ask, "Can I touch it?" β
"......" Garr smiled and didn't speak.
He knew that his wings were very good-looking, and the white feathers fell off from time to time, as pure as the wings of an angel.
Magino retracted his gaze: "No, forget it, I'm just curious." β
"There's nothing wrong with that, I'm thinking of something else."
As he spoke, Garr spread his wings again.
The bar was less than a meter wide, and such a distance did not affect Magino from touching his wings across the table.
A wisp of feathers fell off her wings, and Magino involuntarily took it in her hand and stroked it gently, it felt very smooth, smoother than silk.
She couldn't help asking, "Do you still shed hair?" β
Gal's face darkened: "If you want to be, just say it." β
After each battle, the building was empty, leaving only a few feathers still flutteringβwhat a B-class thing.
It was said to be hair loss.
Magino's outstretched hand to her wings paused, but she finally made up her mind to hold it.
"Hmm''" Gal snorted, "Be gentle, it's my first time." β
"......" Magino ignored his funny.
She touched it and pressed her whole face to it.
Gal didn't speak again, holding his chin in boredom, looking at Magino in a daze.
After a long time, Magino remembered that there was still a person sitting opposite. She wants to be reserved, but thinking of the other party's obvious bad intentions, it doesn't matter if she is casual, right?
Anyway, depending on the situation, I can't escape.
Thinking about it, she let go, and continued to rub her feathers with her face, talking to him without a stubble.
The conversation was all about small things.
For example, where did Magino learn to make wine, and how did he come up with the idea of opening a tavern? What work did you do as a child? What do you do when the tavern closes?
Another example, where did Gal grow up? What is the living environment like? Who is in the family?
It's like two ordinary strangers, sitting together and talking about something inconsequential.
Neither side mentioned what the adventures on the sea were like, what they planned to do in the future, such things.
For one, those things Shanks had said that Gal was going to tell Magino to distinguish himself from him.
Second, there is no need.
Not surprisingly, Magino will be here for the rest of her life. So what happens outside and what the future looks like has little to do with her. Speaking out can only make her realize something called 'distance'.
In the afternoon, customers began to arrive in the store.
They are all from the village, everyone knows each other, and they are considered regular customers.
Magino sat at the bar to prepare the wine, and Gal brought the prepared wine to the wine table, and the two of them had a clear division of labor.
The guests did not see him, and at first thought it was Magino's younger brother, after all, he looked young, but in fact he was.
The guests tease Magino for finding a boyfriend younger than him and that he doesn't like the pirate captain anymore.
Magino smiled and didn't deny it.
The guests were stunned, glancing back and forth between Gal and Magino.
So, in the afternoon of the same day, the news that Magino had found a man spread.
After all, the village is very small, let alone outsiders, and there are not a few young men in the village who are worried about this 'Flower of the East China Sea'.
Later, the tavern was overcrowded, and the young men of the village ran here to cry and shout, 'The flowers in their gardens have been plucked by passers-by.'"
After the night ended, Gal asked casually as he cleaned up the mess in the store.
"Do you mind?"
This kind of thing should be very important! Magino's world is so big, and there are so many acquaintances, and now they all say the same thing.
Magino put down a box of empty bottles, wiped the sweat with her sleeve, straightened up, and looked at Gar, who was not far away and bent down to pick up the bottles.
Her voice was gentle: "Don't mind, you won't let me go anyway, right?" β
"That's right." Gal conceded.
Magino poured a glass of water and handed it over: "That's not it, it's good." β
She really thought it was good, and it was really nice to just work and talk together, eat together, and clean up the tavern together.
It would be better if it took a little longer.
Magino put away her illusions and smiled, "Okay, that's it." β
Garr also stopped and turned to look at her, "Hmm. β
β......β
β......β
Magino was staring at him a little uncomfortably.
It stands to reason that she should have adapted to it. Could it be that I thought of something later, so I did this?
"You're ..... today. Don't need a break? She asked tentatively.
Although she hadn't experienced those things, she also knew that men's energy was limited. And last night ....
Gal blinked, understanding Magino's 'intimacy'.
"I'm not going back today."
Magino looked away and let out an "oh".
