[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 696 Mother's Role

The situation is not that simple, it doesn't seem to be a simple dream here.First of all, compared with dreaming, Youxiang felt that she was too lucid.Iji also looked calm and calm as always, and it didn't look like he was dreaming.Although I have experienced lucid dreams before, they have never reached this level.

This is some kind of illusion created to delay time, and the only thing that can be determined now is this.That demon must be trying to drag things out until it's too late.He must be stopped... and now Youxiang is very worried about Madam Shi Jiang.Mr. Mansfield said that Mrs. Shi Jiang is still bound by the past...is she all right?

There are others too.Is everyone okay?How do I get out of here...

"Youxiang." Still trembling... Iji put his hand on Youxiang's hand, not only trembling, but also clutching his clothes tightly.Something has to be done to reassure her...How exactly?Iji didn't understand at all, but Mansfield and Matthew both solved it through thinking, so think about it yourself...

"Although we don't have any other clues, it seems that everyone here knows you." Yi Zhi said, "Then why don't you go home and have a look?"

"go home?"

"Ah. It's you... No, it should be Olivia's house. Maybe there will be some clues." Iji said, "If this is a dream, I think we can meet familiar people to some extent. From It should be better to start in a familiar place."

It makes sense... Youxiang thought about it, and she said, "Just now, my classmates asked me if my family members were here... They also mentioned my elder brother. Speaking of elder brother, it should be that person, right? Isaac?"

The emperor of the empire... No, it's weird to say that now.The fact that I took for granted has slowly become full of disobedience, and now even if other people talk about it in a normal way, it seems like they have heard something strange.Of course, this further proves that everything is false.

"It should be him. Then let's start with him." After all, if we start with him, no one will feel bad.That guy... Just thinking about what happened in the forest made Iji's ribs hurt from anger.He said, "Let's go, or do you want to continue looking here?"

"Although... I think this place is very lively and seems to be very interesting, but... I still feel very scared, Mr. Iji." I am afraid that I will be deceived by the false appearance here, and then I will never return to the important people. And forget about them.Youxiang said, "Let's go quickly."

"I understand." Iji nodded, and he said, "But, do you still remember where your (Olivia) home is?"

"Well... how should I put it... If you think about it carefully, I seem to have a little impression..." Youxiang said while walking, "Just go to the school gate, and then take a taxi... that's fine, right?"

"Take a... taxi?" What is that?

"I don't know either." Youxiang looked confused, if only Matthew was here now.Hey, it's only when Matthew is away that he realizes that he really knows everything.You Xiang said, "Anyway, let's go to the school gate first, and let nature take its course!"

Youxiang's character...is similar to Portkas and the others.Regardless of Sanqi 21, get up first and then talk.Most of the time it is a good thing to be strong in action, but if it is too much, it will become an impulsive person-it will be scolded by Matthew.

In short, they walked to the school gate first, and many people were coming in from outside, but no one was going out.Everyone wants to be part of this celebration, but now is not the time to do it.Youxiang and the others stood beside the street, and then...

"I think as long as this is the case..." Youxiang stood on the curb, then raised a hand, and soon there was a... car?stopped in front of them.

"It's some kind of vehicle." It looks like it.And it's all over the street.It feels like Matthew will like it, after all, it has a similar atmosphere to him.As soon as Iji finished speaking, the car door opened automatically.

Youxiang looked inside, but there was no one... So she looked back at Yizhi, Yizhi shrugged, and the two of them sat in.After sitting down, the door of the car closed automatically, and a soft light lit up in front of the place like the console, and a gentle male voice sounded: "Welcome to the 'Odyssey' unmanned taxi, Olivia Yeming Miss Zer."

Nightlighter...the name is so cool!In comparison, Olivia, an ordinary name, seemed out of harmony.Youxiang thought to herself, this voice is very similar to Matthew's, so he is also an artificial intelligence... or something?Then just talk to him...

"Can you take me home?" Youxiang tried.

"Of course. Olivia. Please sit tight, the journey begins, estimated time of arrival: 15 minutes."

After the voice fell, the vehicle began to drive automatically.Youxiang breathed a sigh of relief, but Yiji wasn't nervous at all: "It's quite convenient."

"What exactly is this place...Mr. Iji...I always feel like I have been here..." Youxiang leaned on the seat with a little annoyance, and she said, "Will Matthew know? Maybe Frey should Know?"

"We won't have time to think about these things after we leave here, Youxiang." Iji replied, "The way Germa can guarantee the results of the mission every time is to only focus on the current mission every time."

"I got it~ Germa's secret." Youxiang turned her head to look at Iji and smiled, and finally a little smile appeared on Iji's expressionless face.Youxiang said: "Mr. Iji finally has a little expression!"

"I think I'm quite expressive."

"It's a lie!" Although it's not completely lacking, it's definitely not rich compared to other people.Youxiang said, "Mr. Iji is very handsome, but he looked good when he smiled like that just now."

"I don't know what's the specific difference between just now and my usual time... Youxiang, actually when I'm with you, I will have a lot of emotions that I don't understand. So... so if I do something wrong, You have to tell me so I can stop." Iji said, "My brothers and I... should be like this. We are different from ordinary people."

"Actually, I don't feel much difference..." Although Mr. Luo and the others don't like everyone in Germa very much... Youxiang said, "However, if Mr. Iji and you do something wrong, I will stop you Oh!"

"Ah. If it's your words..." If it's your words, I must be able to listen to it.Yi Zhi clenched his fist subconsciously. He originally wanted to hold You Xiang's hand, but he felt that it was impossible, so he could only give up, "Sorry, You Xiang."

"Why are you suddenly apologizing..."

"I don't know." I just wanted to apologize to you... I might do a lot of things to hurt you, so I'm scared.I think the reason why the devil put me in your 'dream' is not because he has nothing to do with me, but because he knows what my weakness is, and he knows what I 'fear' without fear.

The two of them remained silent for a while, then the vehicle suddenly slowed down, and the voice similar to Matthew sounded again: "Olivia, the destination is very close, please get ready to get off."

"Okay, okay!" I'm still not used to being called Olivia... Youxiang came back to her senses and responded, and after a while, the car heard the front of an independent building.This place seems to be a residential area, with rows of similar-looking white villas.After the door opened, Youxiang and the others got out of the car.

This is me... no, is it Olivia's home?Although Youxiang wanted a home very much, but when she looked at the real home in front of her, she felt something was wrong.But just like Yiji said, focus on the task in front of you now, don't think so much.

"Olly? Why are you back now?"

Just when Youxiang was still hesitating how to get home, the door opened, and a woman in an apron ran out: "What's going on? This is..."

Mom, mom... This title appeared in Youxiang's mind, and this woman was exactly the same as the person who almost killed Olu on the beach back then!She is his mother... right?

"Ollie?"

"Well, mother..." Youxiang calmed down and said quickly, "I'm a little uncomfortable, so I... came back... this is Mr. Yiji, he, he sent me back..."

"Ah... is it your boyfriend?" Mom looked a little happy, "So handsome! He looks more serious than that Lucas! So Dad won't say anything anymore, right?"

"Haha..." Youxiang smiled awkwardly, and then she poked Yiji with her elbow, telling him to say something quickly.

"...meeting you for the first time." Yi Zhi actually didn't know what to say, so he could only say this first.

As soon as he finished speaking, Youxiang's mother leaned close to Youxiang and whispered, "He's a calm and handsome guy!"

Not only is he a handsome guy, but he seems to be His Royal Highness, Mom——No!Almost immersed in this atmosphere!Youxiang came back to her senses, and she said, "Yes, yes, mother... is brother at home?"

"Of course Isaac isn't here! Didn't he go to the school celebration?" Mom said as if complaining, "And Dad too... Didn't they find you? I was going too, but I want to make more bentos for lunch..."

Dad, mom...and brother...is the real home.These ordinary things, things that normal people and ordinary people may experience every day, things that I have been longing for before... Now it seems that they are so... contrary to harmony.

Although it doesn't mean it's bad, You Xiang still feels that something is wrong.No, I don't actually want these.Although she knew that the person in front of her was her mother, she didn't feel any closeness.Although I was very happy to hear the names of my father and brother, but the faces of other more familiar people came to my mind.

What I longed for was not the peace and tranquility brought about by this fabricated false dream.Absolutely not.

Gotta get out of here.Youxiang no longer hesitated, she said, "Mom... can you tell me something?"

"Huh? What's the matter?" Mom said a little strangely, "Ollie, you look a little weird... Aren't you sick? Do you want to go in and have a rest—"

"My name is You Xiang. Mom." You probably don't know it.should.Youxiang interrupted her, "I...you put me on a small boat, and then asked a man wearing an iron helmet to take me to a safe place."

"O, Ollie... what are you talking about...?"

"It's really nice to meet you. I don't think I've seen my mother much... If only we hadn't parted from the beginning, if... But..." But it's too late, Mom.You're dead, my dad is gone, my brother has turned into a monster, and I've never been 'Olivia'.

Youxiang endured the sadness in her heart, and she said: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But I have to go back to everyone. I found good companions, and I was really happy with them. I think I am very happy. So... I'm sorry, Mom. I can't stay here. This kind of dream is not what I want."

"..." He was such a helpless child.Mom frowned, looking at Youxiang sadly, however, with her as the center, the surrounding scenery began to change.The grass dries up, the sky turns cloudy, and finally her attire changes.

The warm-colored dress and white apron turned into a black hooded robe, and the red lightsaber swished on—

"Olivia, my silly child...Obviously as long as you accept that dream, you can become happy."

She said, "Now, I have to use this method to make you understand... you should listen to your mother, right?"

Mom... It's so scary, so it's like that, the one I'm afraid of is actually my mother?It's the mother in the... black robe...

"Scent!"

Yiji immediately pushed Youxiang away who was still in a daze, and they dodged the lightning-like attack together!At some point, Youxiang's mother put on a black mask, and through the mask, her voice became colder and flatter: "Olivia, accept your fate. Only you who was sacrificed , is valuable. Otherwise, you will only become a disaster."

"I don't allow you to say that about her." Before Youxiang came back to his senses, Yiji had already said, "Since you are Youxiang's mother, I'll leave you a whole body, shall I?"

--------------------

The author has something to say:

The content of Youxiang's dream is: what would happen if she was not sacrificed but lived as 'Olivia'.

Shock!The son-in-law who came to the door on the first day actually wanted to leave the whole body for the mother-in-law!

Iji: That's right, I'm the door-to-door son-in-law.

Isaac: This guy seems to have a passion for barking doors backwards.

Iji: Hello, brother, since you are brother Youxiang, you can choose one of these ways to die for free.

Shock!The son-in-law who came to the door on the first day, after leaving the whole body for the mother-in-law, always gave the eldest son a funeral gift package!

Youxiang's mother: I am a super strong space warrior.

Brother Youxiang: I am a wizard who can manipulate demons.

Youxiang's Dad: First time meeting, hello everyone, my name is... what?Haven't picked it up yet?Hey, that's too much! !So my special ability is... weaving?Knitting wool? ! !
