Chapter 354 What kind of creature is the ex-boyfriend
"That's what I think, bro. I told you all about it."
"There's really nothing I can do about you... It's still the same as before."
Sabo shook his head while sighing, and said, "If Youxiang knew, she would definitely cry? You're going to make her cry again."
"But you can understand me! Sabo! There is no other way." Ace said very seriously and a little anxiously, "I...I don't want her to cry either! But...you also see Are you there? When I was in that forest, I couldn't feel anything, I didn't know anything. I clearly had her heart, but I was still so far away from her. I can't go on like this..."
"I see, Ace. Hey...you don't have to explain so much to me. I understand how you feel." Because I do too.I also think my mood is a little more complicated...forget it.Sabo said, "I'll help you. But you have to promise me one thing."
"Ah, what is it?"
"If Youxiang cries, you have to coax her with me!"
"Haha... I know it!"
I hope she won't cry too hard... But, ah, she will definitely cry.She just misses you, Ace.I have already given you my heart, if I knew that you did this kind of thing for her again, I would definitely cry.Sabo let himself not think about it first, but put his gaze in front of his eyes.
Now they have arrived in Huadu. This city is quite big. It is said that it is the only prosperous place in Wano Country.The one named Big Snake lives here, and most of Luffy's companions are also lurking here.With a little trickery and not too much trouble getting into the city, Ace seems to have other plans.
"So do you have any plans bro?" Sabo said looking at the passers-by, "Do you have any clues or something?"
"Youxiang said before that when she was in Totland, she met a group of exorcists who called themselves 'mages'." Ace replied, "Frey also thought that maybe they had a way. After leaving Totland, That group of people seems to have returned to Wano Country. I think Wano Country is already like this now, so it is more likely that they are in Huadu.”
"That's what I said..." In such a big city, it should be difficult to find them, right?
When Sabo was still struggling, he was suddenly patted by Ace. He looked up in the direction Ace pointed. On the street in front of him, a young man with blond hair was walking towards him.He was wearing a white robe in the Wano country style, vaguely making Sabo feel a little... familiar?
"Chris..."
"Chris?"
"It turned out to be him!!!" Ace didn't explain anything to Sabo, he rushed out, grabbed the kid and dragged him into the alley, Sabo was dumbfounded, but immediately chased him : "Hey! Ace! What are you doing! Calm down! What's going on? Who is this?"
"Hey? Hey?? Ace?? Huh—?!"
Although the young man called Chris by Ace was pressed against the wall by Ace, he still made a sound of extreme surprise. He even reached out and touched Ace's face: "It's hot! You can touch it and there are no demons." The smell of... no, isn't it a ghost?! It's alive?!!"
"Of course I'm alive, brat!" Ace said angrily, "When I heard Youxiang say it, I thought the name Chris was so familiar... It turned out to be you—you didn't Youxiang, do something weird, hey! When you were in Totland!!"
"I don't have it!!" Wrong! !Chris immediately said, "Ai, Ace... are you still alive... Unbelievable, the whole world thinks you are dead! How did you do it?!"
"That kind of thing has nothing to do with you!"
"Then can you let me go first? It's so uncomfortable, I said..."
After hearing this, Ace let go of Chris for the time being. Chris took a breath, straightened his clothes, and said, "Ace and...you...is it...Sabo? Sabo also Still... still alive?"
"?" Why do you know me?Sabo stared at the young man in front of him, had he seen such a person before?Both Ace and Youxiang knew him. Could it be that he was a child... After thinking hard for 5 minutes, Sabo didn't seem to remember it. There was no way, so Chris had to introduce himself: "I'm Chris, Sabo. You Don't you remember? We met once at the city of Goa Kingdom."
"…………Can not remember."
"I was playing with Youxiang back then, and you told me to go away."
"Ah!!" I remembered!It was the noble bastard of that time! !Sabo finally remembered, he said, "It turned out to be you! Why are you in Wano Country??"
"My hometown is Wano Country."
"Just kidding!"
"Compared to me, the living conditions of the two of you are more surprising!" Please be a little nervous.Chris sighed helplessly, and he said, "Forget it. It's fine if you're all fine. By the way, is Youxiang here too?"
"It's nothing to do with you." Don't miss her anymore!Ace said, "She's fine."
"As an ex-boyfriend, I think I still have a little obligation to care about her?"
"Wait for me." Sabo suddenly discovered elements that he didn't know at all, "What before?? Ace?? When did this happen?! How could you allow this to happen!!"
"What can I do! I was taken advantage of by this kid before I knew it!!"
"Damn—youxiang really likes his type..." Blonde prince type!Sabo began to look at Chris with another look, "You didn't take the opportunity to do something weird to Youxiang, you bastard?!"
"..." These two people are really... Chris looked at the two people in front of him, and suddenly felt rebellious in his heart. He said calmly, "Kissed——uh?!"
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the 'Dragon Claw' hit the wall next to his head, and the wall of the house next to him was cracked!
"Calm down! Calm down Sabo!"
"He's showing off to me. He's just showing off to me Ace!"
It's too exaggerated... These two people have grown into such strong people... Chris didn't care about the quarrel between Ace and Sabo, but looked at the wall that was cracked instead of his head.He said: "Why on earth did you come to Wano Country? Does Yuka's physical condition really allow her to live here?"
Hearing this question, both Ace and Sabo stopped arguing.Ace said first, "Chris, Youxiang said you were an exorcist... Did you have any other intentions when you approached her?"
"I admit that I did notice her unique aura at the beginning, but whether I admitted that I liked her or dated her later, it was definitely not because of this."
"... Ace. I still want to hit him." Sabo stared at Chris without expression, and he said, "Why does he act like he is still close to Youxiang? Does he look down on me? "
"Why are you still calmer than me, Sabo?"
"I can't calm down. There is an unknown fire in my heart...ah, it's about to burn, Ace! The burning fruit can't be controlled!"
"Control it again! Hey, you're really burning!" Ace patted the flames on Sabo in time, and then said, "Anyway, Chris! Let's not mention that first, I have other things I want to ask you .”
"It's about Youxiang." Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me in particular.Chris said, "However, I really don't know how to get her out of her current physique. She can coexist with demons to this extent, it is better to say that she has reached the most perfect state... This is innate, innate It's not a disease, and no one can 'cure' it."
"Ah, we've known this for a long time." Ace said that he had this awareness for a long time, and he said, "But, Chris. She is still very dangerous now. There are also things that demons can't do. "
"Of course... after all, demons are just some spirit bodies, and they are also restricted in the dream world. Now they can come out and move around, all relying on Youxiang's physique, which can be said to be Youxiang's 'magic'. Therefore, they It's not really free. You can't stay away from Youxiang, and you can't go against her wishes." Chris explained as clearly as possible, "And to do something beyond the scope of protecting Youxiang itself, you need to pay an extra price."
"It's like a group of mercenaries who only do what they are supposed to do unless they get paid."
"It can be understood in this way...but the contract is far stronger than the mercenary's contract. It is like a chain that locks arrogance. The law of the contract is made by something higher than them, and they cannot violate it. Since It has been achieved, at least we can be sure that it is impossible for those demons to betray Youxiang."
Is this good news... Ace and Sabo glanced at each other, and Sabo said this time: "But now, as long as Youxiang goes to a new place that is slightly less peaceful, her physical condition will plummet, and she will hear or Seeing something that none of us can see. Not even Frey can do anything until she says it."
"That's because the barrier is unstable... because of what happened in Totland, the last barrier between her and the dream world was broken. Now it's up to those demons to recast a new 'barrier' for her '." Chris shook his head, and he said, "And as I said, the demons are restricted, so if Youxiang didn't ask them to show up and do something, they couldn't do it if they wanted to."
"Ah, is that so? They can only show up if they have Xiang to call them?" I didn't realize this before... Obviously Rossi and Frey always appeared suddenly... Ace said, "In my heart Think about it?"
"Well. Because demons are actually the product of human will, so they can know what people are thinking."
No wonder those guys are always half a step late!Because Youxiang is always slow to think of them!Ace finally understood.He said, "So that's the problem, Chris. Even if it's only half a second late, You Xiang is still in danger. And... I don't want to be able to do anything."
"I don't understand... Ace. What do you want to do?" Chris noticed the obvious scar on Ace's heart at this moment, because the kimono he was wearing was not very tight, so he could see it quite clearly... ...Chris seemed to understand something, "Do you also want to strengthen your connection with the dream world?"
"I think at least I can react! Before, when she first arrived here, she was obviously very scared, but I didn't know what she was afraid of. I don't want that to happen again, Chris." Ace Taking a step closer to Chris, he said, "I'm here to ask you to do this. Frey said that your family knows something about a certain technology called 'enchanting'."
"Enchanted?"
Chris repeated the word, he was a little surprised: "I... I have only seen this statement in the library at home... I don't think anyone in my family has this technology... Moreover, it is also a technology for enchanting weapons Ah, Ace. Your weapon is... ah..."
Seeing Ace burn up, Chris understood immediately.He frowned and thought carefully about the possibility: "Although I've never heard of such a thing...but it's not impossible. Theoretically, it should be possible. Mother probably can do it."
"Is your mother?" Ace hadn't met Chris' mother yet.In fact, I didn't know him very well, Youxiang was always with him at that time.
"Mother is the most gifted person in the family. She should know how to do it. But I can't take you to see mother right now." Chris said.
"Ah? Why? Let me tell you first, we just hate you, and we won't pass it on to your mother."
"It's not because of that kind of thing!" I know you have a little bit of bottom line.But the problem is not here.Chris said, "Mom is now bedridden and very weak."
"Are you sick? Could it be the same situation as Youxiang?"
"No... If you only talk about the connection with dreams, Youxiang's talent is higher. But mother also has her own talent..." Chris lowered his eyes, and he said, "Mother can see the far, far future. However, this ability is like the magic of summoning demons, there is a price to pay..."
"After Totland was let go by fear, my mother had to take the family to escape BigMom's eyes and ears and return to Wano Country. At that time, everyone was very scared and confused, and didn't know what to do in the future. In the end, the mother used her ability to restore the confidence of the tribe."
Having said that, Chris looked up at Ace and Sabo and said, "But it also paid a price. Mom can hardly see anything now."
Because I saw the future, I couldn't see the present... This situation also made it hard for Ace and Sabo to say much.Although it's none of their business, it's someone else's important family after all, and they understand this truth.
"I see. But no one can do it except your mother? Can't you?" Ace asked.
"I have almost no magic power, not at all." Chris replied as a matter of course, "I can only perceive some spiritual bodies and barrier conditions. The blood of the family is also getting diluted, and the new generation of magic power will always Weaker than the previous generation. Mages are an extinct group, and our family is no exception."
"It's useless, Chris."
"Even if you say that, I can't help it... Ah, it's not impossible at all." Chris suddenly remembered something, and he said, "Although there is no such person in my family, but... Wano Country is actually There are two exorcist families. Do you know this?"
"How could you know?" Sabo showed a look of disgust, "You tell me a long story short."
"Hey... Really. Be patient! You Xiang came to me because you didn't always listen to what Youxiang said!"
"Hmm..." Damn it... he actually hit a sore spot...
Although the two people in front of Chris were all trembling with anger, they showed no signs of rushing over to hit them because they couldn't refute.So Chris went on to say with satisfaction: "One of the two exorcist families is our Okoshiba family, and the other is the Gokido family. Although we left Wano country a long time ago, the Gokido family still has some The tribe is here."
Five Ghost Hall... I seem to have heard of this name somewhere.Why is it so familiar... Sabo fell into thinking again.When we were in Dressrosa, did the lieutenant named 99 have the surname Wuguitang?
"You mean, they might have a way?" Ace said, oblivious to this, "Do you know where to find them?"
"Well. When we returned to the Wano country, we received some help from them." Chris nodded, and he said, "Although the relationship between the two families was not good before, we can let go of our grievances now... In short , there is an izakaya called 'Lanju·Qili' in Huadu, go there and ask the proprietress."
What a lot of nonsense Chris is talking about!In short, she's a messy izakaya proprietress, isn't she?Ace summed up the point when he said, "I see. Thank you, Chris. But don't get me wrong. I still hate you."
"Me too." Sabo immediately emphasized this point, "I hope your mother can get better soon. But I still hate you."
"Hey..." Although you are not bad people, it is too easy to be misunderstood as villains!Chris showed a helpless expression, and he said, "Yes, I understand. Speaking of which, aren't you with Youxiang? Doesn't she need you by her side?"
"Do you think Youxiang would let me do this?" Ace said.
"Absolutely not, I see." She would say no need, it's okay.Chris nodded, and he said, "Shall I take you to that izakaya?"
"No more." Sabo immediately refused. He said, "Hurry up and go home to take care of your mother, Mr. Chris. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the dragon's claws won't be able to hold it."
"Sabo, you weren't like this before."
"I've changed, I'm really sorry for you. By the way, I want to ask... why Youxiang broke up with you?"
"It's not because..." Chris glanced at Ace, he didn't continue, but turned to leave, "Then I'll leave. The izakaya is on the next street. It just happens to be very close. My home is To the east, there is a big courtyard, as long as it is Yuzi Chai's house, many people know it. If you have anything else, please come to me, after all, it is a matter of incense, and I will help you."
What should I do, should I thank him... I'm so angry, I don't know why I feel angry when I hear him say that!Ace endured it for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything, but Chris fully expected this situation, he waved his hand and left, and said: "Tell Youxiang that I'm here. Bye!"
"Damn... this kid is still so annoying!"
"Why does Youxiang like him!!"
The two people who were left behind made a sound at the same time, then they glanced at each other, and then sighed at the same time.Forget it, let him go about the ex-boyfriend.In short, we have obtained reliable information and achieved our goal.
"Sabo, Youxiang...wouldn't she think we were idiots before?"
"I think it's okay to remove the 'before', bro..."
"........."
"........."
The two looked at Chris's back, and there was a mysterious silence.In the end, it was Ace who broke the silence—
"Let's go to the izakaya."
"Hmm. That's what I said."
--------------------
The author has something to say:
Ace: Even though I didn't do anything, I still feel like I've lost!Lost to Chris!
Sabo: Fierce failure! !how so! !
Chris: Didn’t I tell you all the reasons, reflect on it, and listen to Youxiang more next time.
Luo: (taking notes secretly)
In terms of setting, November 11th is Xiangxiang's birthday, so put on the cover of the birthday special in advance!In addition, November 30th also happens to be sister Reiju's birthday, so there is also sister Reiju on the cover! (After setting it up, I found out that it was the same day as Reiju. What a coincidence! And Xiangxiang was wearing a Snow White outfit!)
