Chapter 237 Heaven
The second time I came to Totland was even heavier than the first time. Once I set foot on this island, it seemed that I could never leave again.Cake Island, which seems to be peaceful and peaceful, is actually ruled by 'fear', just like the dirty secrets hidden behind Dressrosa, the former country of passion, there are also...
Although it is not deliberately hidden, it is a secret that everyone keeps silent.
"It's okay, Miss Youxiang."
Kagawa-san is right there, and he always has that confident smile.No matter who he faces, he always has this expression, as if he is fearless.He got closer to You Xiang, wondering if he noticed that You Xiang slowed down because of hesitation, he stretched out his hand: "May I hold your hand?"
"that……"
"It's a little lonely to be the next person walking here, so please accompany me for a while."
He smiled even better, as if his whole body was glowing.After approaching, the breeze brought his pleasant fragrance over. He is a person who would not mind getting closer to anyone.
Youxiang held his hand.You can feel his body temperature through his gloves.He held it tightly, which reassured Youxiang a little: "Mr. Kagawa...how long will he stay here?"
"If you need me, I can stay here forever." Kagawa looked into Youxiang's eyes, and he replied, "So you don't have to be afraid that I will leave, and you don't have to worry that you will be alone."
His words are always convincing and calming.It feels like he can do anything.Youxiang said: "Then~ will the boss still pay me? After all, I don't seem to be able to work properly!"
"That's right... But the company has a complete salary system. You are on 'marriage leave', so you can get paid as usual." Perhaps understanding that Youxiang was trying to ease the atmosphere, Kagawa laughed and said, "Also, I can give you A special holiday... After all, our relationship is not ordinary, right?"
"Haha..." What are you talking about... I hate it.Youxiang's face was a little red, and she just turned her head to hide her shyness and looked away when she realized that she had already arrived at the palace where BigMom was.At this time, Katakuri, who had been just following behind without saying a word, came forward and said, "Okay, Mansfield, you can only go so far."
And you don't want to molest someone else's fiancee in front of the person involved.Although this marriage is basically forced and whimsical, but the mood, the mood will also be very awkward!Katakuri thought this in his heart, and then hoped that Kagawa could understand this matter from his own eyes.
"Miss Youxiang." Xiangchuan nodded slightly, and he turned to Youxiang and said, "I'll wait for you here, okay?"
"Hmm...you have to wait for me." Although I don't know why I feel this way, but if someone is waiting for me... I will feel a little more at ease.In a place where everything is strange and scary, it's much better to have people you know.Aruka reluctantly let go of Kagawa's hand, and then walked into the gate of the palace under Katakuri's gaze.
"She was shaking while holding my hand just now, Mr. Katakuri." Kagawa said before Katakuri was about to leave, "Even someone who dares to be an enemy of the whole world can still feel fear .”
"... Here, there is the 'source of fear', Mansfield." Katakuri said as he stepped into the gate, "Don't say it's her, even you and I can't escape."
Yeah?Mr. Katakuri?Haven't you been trying to keep everything you know free from that fear?The invincible image you have worked so hard to maintain has become an invincible existence among your brothers and sisters. Are you unconsciously trying to put up another protective cover under the shroud of 'fear'?
Maybe it was futile, maybe it was a needless struggle, but...you have indeed become an existence that cannot fall down, or...you have become a sign, a signal.
"When you also fall, it means that the crucial moment is coming..." Kagawa looked at the slowly closing door and muttered to himself, "Are we all ready? Kata Mister Curry?"
That Mansfield guy always gave himself an uncomfortable feeling.But...if it was him, there might be a way, a way...to break this fear.No, what on earth was I thinking... Shouldn't I be the one who maintains this fear?The second son of the Charlotte family, the strongest person, never touches the ground behind his back... Isn't it just to maintain this fear?
"Is Kagawa that guy's real name?" Katakuri found a topic, and he spoke to Yuka who walked forward silently with his head down.
"I don't know...but the boss wants me to call him that." Youxiang replied, "But I don't think it's his real name. Mansfield... isn't his real name?"
"Don't know." Could be true or could be false.Katakuri shrugged, and said, "Whether as an entrepreneur or as an emerald broker, the mystery of that man is no less than that of One Piece himself."
"How did Katakuri-san know Kagawa-san?"
"His company wants to enter Totland, and one day he came to talk to his mother in person." Katakuri shook his head, and he said, "I have never seen such a bold person, but in the end you I saw it too. Mom likes him very much, and the business has been negotiated. This time he was also invited by his mother to the wedding."
As expected of the boss, he's too strong... I don't know if BigMom himself will be conquered by the boss's fairy-like appearance?Is there a little bonus?
"...You..." Katakuri hesitated to speak, but when Youxiang heard his voice, she raised her head and looked at him, which forced Katakuri to say something: "... Shall I hold your hand too?"
"Mr. Katakuri is too tall, I can't reach it." Youxiang raised a hand as he said, even if he stretched it up, he couldn't reach it. I'm not too nervous anymore. I'm the type who gets calmer when the crisis is imminent."
"Hey...it can't be said that a disaster is imminent." At least now my mother doesn't hate you.Katakuri said, "As long as you can meet mom's request, you'll be fine. I'll help you, so don't do the running away thing like before, you know?"
"I'll run away if I get the chance!"
"But you don't have a chance now."
"Oh..." That's cruel and heartless...but it's true.Arima pursed her mouth, and then Katakuri pushed open the door of BigMom's room.It's still the same as the last time I came here, and BigMom hasn't even changed his clothes.She watched Youxiang walk in with satisfaction: "Ma Ma~ Ma Ma~~ You are back! A new couple~"
"Mom." Katakuri stopped at a suitable position, and Youxiang hid behind him almost immediately, he said without paying attention, "As agreed, we are back."
"Really, did you encounter any trouble on the way, Katakuri?"
"No. No." It seems that there was no mention of Youxiang's resistance, or did he report it before?In short, Katakuri said directly, "I just met Mansfield halfway, so I came here with him."
"Oh~ he's here so early! The time is getting closer and closer, and we'll be able to eat the wedding cake soon! Mama~ Mama~~" Looking very happy, BigMom said, "Other things I There's only one thing you can do here. You can do it, little girl?"
"Just, like I said before... If it's just a dream..." Youka hid behind Katakuri's legs, she poked her head out and said, "Shall we start now?"
"Of course, the sooner the better!"
"Well... if you want to dream, you have to fall asleep." Youxiang said, "so now I need you...to take a nap."
dream world.
During BigMom's years of collecting rare creatures, she did know a few words about this place.What interests her the most is that many people claim to have found their missing relatives in the dream world.
Why did the Carmelite nuns leave without saying goodbye?Where did she go?This is BigMom...no.This is what Lingling wants to know most.
Even if it was a dream, even if it was a dream, I wanted to know why the nun abandoned me, and I also wanted to know where everyone had gone.Many, many years ago, what happened at the birthday party that almost forgot the taste?
Nun, nun... why is everyone leaving me?Now I have built the ideal country of a nun, and I will work harder and harder until I make the whole world a better place——
Like a nun's dream.
"Lingling, Lingling..."
The voice came from the cold mist, is this a dream?Never had such a clearly visible dream. Lingling climbed up from the cracked ground, and then the surrounding fog dissipated, and she returned to the camp many years ago, back to the round table where the birthday banquet was held. Unbelievably, Everyone is here.
"Lingling! You are finally here!"
The smiles of the partners were exactly the same as in their vague memories, and they said: "Look! This is to celebrate Lingling finding our cake!"
"Everyone..." Lingling seemed to be the girl she was back then. She smiled and shed tears, "Where have you been for so long? I miss you so much!"
"Hahahaha! What are you talking about, Lingling!"
"We've been here all along!"
"You've been here all this time? But I've been looking for a long time and I can't find it! By the way! Where's the nun? The nun is—"
"Lingling, you're here."
At this moment, the dream voice finally sounded, and the Carmelite nun appeared in front of Lingling, with her usual gentle smile: "You found us! Lingling!"
"Nun!" Ahh!Nun, I finally found you!Where did you go?Where did he go?Lingling happily ran to the nun, and she said, "Sister! Sister, you are too much! Where did you hide with everyone?"
"We've been here all along, by Lingling's side." The nun touched Lingling's head, and she said, "Lingling can't come here yet, so we're all here waiting for Lingling, so that Lingling won't be alone when she arrives oh?"
"Huh? It's been there all the time... But, what kind of place is this?"
"This is 'Heaven'. It used to be 'Heaven'." The Carmelite nun said, "Here, we are closer to God."
"Then how can I find everyone again?"
"As long as your wish comes true, Lingling." The Carmelite nun said, "We have fulfilled our wish to make Lingling happy on her birthday, so Lingling must also fulfill her own wish."
"My wish is... to build a world where all people can live happily together, as the nun said!"
"Ah, if it's Lingling, it must be possible. By then, Lingling will be able to find us again."
The Carmelite nun opened her arms, just as she remembered her, her arms could hold anyone and anything.Lingling doesn't need any gods, nuns are like gods to her——
"Until then, we'll be here waiting for you. Lingling. In this 'dream' world. We'll be waiting for you."
