My entire face was burning hot. It was different from the fever I had before. It was really hot.

Holding the flower in my hand, I turned away to avoid looking at Sakaski's expression. I felt really embarrassed.

As a hot-tempered older brother, I had never acted coquettishly with anyone other than my family. Now that I was asked to do this, it was really …

Our family's dialect made people who didn't understand it feel gentle and soft. They even said that our quarrels sounded good. Little did they know that when Wu Yu quarreled, they would also curse the other party's eighteen generations of ancestors.

Of course, it was really soft when it came to acting coquettishly. Using a coquettish accent to make others understand Mandarin was really the best option.

For example, in my family, as long as we used our dialect to act coquettishly, it was always successful.

Even if it was my younger brother, my cousin, and my aunt, who was also his mother, saying, "Can't you let me play for a while more?" No matter how fierce my aunt was, she would still gently say, "No, go do your homework."

… Ugh, it didn't seem to work.

Sakaski looked at me. When he took the flower, I felt the warmth in his hand. Then, he asked calmly, "Daily?"

Yes, it's a daily routine. Thank you so much.

Teenage girl's heart?

Huh?

This steel-like straight man has a teenage girl's heart!

I was instantly revived. I looked at him and even felt a little eager. "There's also a flying kiss. Do you want me to do it too?"

He stared at me and nodded slightly. I immediately blew him a kiss. Then, I turned and walked forward so quickly that I was almost jogging.

No, even if I knew about the mission, I was still shy!

I didn't notice that Sakaski's ears were also red. I walked towards the beach wholeheartedly.

The reef that I had schemed against yesterday was sitting there obediently. I sat on it as usual and stared at the sea to empty my mind.

But to be honest, it was only the third day and I seemed to have gotten used to having another person sitting next to me.

It was as if it had always been like this.

I rested my head on my knees and glanced at my watch. It was 8: 40 in the morning. Basking in the morning sun and breathing in the sea air, I felt lazy.

"Ever since I went to America, I haven't woken up before 8: 00.

Let's stop here. We sleep early and wake up early every day. "

Sakaski didn't refute me by saying, "You've only been here for three days." I didn't think much of it either, thinking that I had already been in this world for a long time. "There are two more missions. One is to watch the stars at night, and the other is …"

I mute the sound.

Sakaski didn't pursue the matter. After a moment of silence, she asked me, "What was the mission you didn't complete on the first day?"

The first day, oh, the punishment for those who didn't complete it on that day.

I thought for a while and remembered, "Well, I think I need to hug you once."

I didn't do that on purpose, but if you want to eat bread, rice cake, or me … I didn't dare to say it. After all, I felt that if the punishment was still suffocating, then another hour wouldn't make a difference.

In any case, he wouldn't be so anxious after knowing the punishment.

"Then what is this mission that you don't want to tell me?"

"Don't be a bad influence on me. Just remember that it's all A8's fault."

I was originally looking at him with my head on my knees, but when I thought of this sentence, I immediately turned 180 degrees and looked at the other side of the shore.

This sentence was embarrassing, but I thought back to the time when I was still playing Sword Three and lost to them. My relatives and friends had urged me to sing the panting at the beginning of Pomp and Circumstance.

I started the accompaniment on the spot, and I sang the famous panting with perfect pitch. I was just short of using bel canto to make the syllables climb perfectly.

All my relatives and friends said that they felt a sense of righteousness after hearing it, and that they felt like they had just finished a music theory class.

Thinking about it this way, there was no shame in saying this sentence.

"Do you want to eat bread, rice cake, or me?"

I said righteously, my whole body emitting the light of socialism. I was like a pole, sonorous and powerful, like the positive energy of the new century.

Even so, it couldn't withstand the inexplicable silence after I said this, and the mocking squawks of the seagulls circling the sky twice.

Silence, silence was like a deserted island in the morning.

After a while, I mustered up the courage to turn my head. I saw him putting on both hats in an instant, and his eyes were dead. "Don't be so disgusted, okay?"

"Your sentence makes me feel like you're going to sacrifice yourself in the next second. It's like you're saying your last wish before going to war."

"…"

I couldn't tell that you were humorous, Sakaski.

Sitting on a rock on the beach and basking in the sun made me feel a little drowsy. To prevent myself from missing it, I turned on my phone and set the alarm for 9: 50.

Seeing that Sakaski didn't seem to be injured, I made sure that his arm wasn't injured, so I passed the phone to him. I leaned on his arm and yawned. "So, I've completed my mission. I just need to watch the stars at night. Let's sleep for a while more."

He didn't stiffen this time, nor did he push me away. He just grunted briefly and let me go back to sleep.

It seemed that we were used to this level of closeness.

I closed my eyes and leaned on his arm. He seemed to be fiddling with my phone. I didn't really want to sleep, I just closed my eyes and started to rest.

I didn't know why, but I suddenly felt that if this situation continued, it wouldn't be too hard for me to accept.

Like I said before, I felt that changing my heart was too troublesome and too tiring.

Since there was someone I liked so much, why not continue?

If one side of my heart was Sakaski, and the other side was me, Omega, then my brother … forget about my brother. I, Omega, would crush Sakaski to death with my own strength.

I … I had nothing to say. What else could I do?

Of course, I knew that the ladies in the Navy definitely had their own thoughts. I also knew that no one would change their minds. They would all move towards Marivan Doe.

"What are you thinking about?"

I didn't know how much time had passed before I heard his question. My breathing paused for a moment, but I didn't sit up straight. I continued to lean on him with my eyes closed. "I'm thinking about my family."

"Your family?"

"My parents, my grandparents, my aunts, uncles, and my cousin."

I closed my eyes and pictured everyone's faces in my mind. I continued to speak calmly. "My family is very good to me, but sometimes they have a violent side to them.

My father hoped that I would grow up to be a lady. In order to make me feel ashamed, he would scold me in front of guests for being uncultured.

My mother turned a blind eye to it and believed that he was right. "

"But from elementary school to high school, my father would send me to school every morning. Then, he would take a big detour to his workplace.

He took my mother and me out to travel. We saw a lot of beautiful scenery.

My mother … my mother loved me very much. Whenever she had something good, she would think of me first. At the same time, she would talk to me about the past. If I wanted something, she would buy it for me as long as it wasn't too much. "

I didn't know if he was listening or if he could understand what I was saying. Since he didn't ask me to stop and the alarm didn't go off, I continued.

I wanted him to understand me a little better.

"Although my younger brother is my cousin, we can almost be said to be siblings.

When we were young, we fought and quarreled. When we grew up, we were very close. If anyone dared to bully my brother, I would be the first to turn into a fire-breathing dragon.

My grandmother, grandfather, and grandmother all take care of me. They don't discriminate against me just because I am a girl. "

"Why?"

"What do you mean why?

Are girls discriminated against? "

I chuckled and rubbed his arm. I didn't know what I was trying to say, but my voice was gentle. "Because some people think that they have a throne in their family and only their son can inherit the throne."

"My world is very different. Pirates aren't so rampant. Of course, they don't have things like devil fruits like you guys do.

It's a very peaceful and ordinary world. "

"You know about devil fruits?"

"Shouldn't you have guessed what I said to you last night?

Sakaski, there are many things that are meaningless to say out loud.

Mm, of course, like how I like you, it's better to say it out loud. "

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt him move a little to the side. I immediately straightened up and looked at him confidently. "Haven't you been confessed to by a girl before?

Although I'm not a girl anymore, I still have the heart of an eighteen year old. "

"You …"

"Or do you think I'm not good-looking?"

I leaned forward a little and looked into his eyes. "I know my looks are average, but you don't have to say that, right?"

"It's not your looks."

"Then what is it?

I couldn't tell that you have such high standards for looks. "

I patted my face regretfully and sat up straight on my knees. I turned my head to the other side and closed my eyes. "Forget it. It's normal that you don't like me. I know my looks. It's just average."

Is this considered … playing hard to get?

I thought about it and decided that it wasn't. After all, it wasn't playing hard to get. It was the truth. Plus, I had just recovered from my illness. It would be strange if my face was good-looking.

But even so, I still felt wronged. "Is the answer important, Sakaski?"

I had an answer. I was obsessed with an answer. I wanted an answer.

Was it important?

It might be important to him. I used to think that it was important too. But now, I felt that those empty words made me want to fill in the gaps. So, I felt that it didn't matter if I didn't have an answer.

The beach suddenly became very quiet. It was so quiet that I felt even more wronged.

But strangely, other than the fact that I moved to the side to express my displeasure, I didn't feel any dissatisfaction or "Why are you like this?" complaints.

Or rather, I felt more like understanding.

There were always people who wanted an answer. Just like me, there were also people who felt that it was okay to not have an answer.

Suddenly, I felt a warm sensation on the top of my head. I was stunned. I looked up and saw that he was very close to me. His hand was on my wet hair.

I asked inappropriately, "Can the lava help me dry my hair quickly?"

He looked at me calmly and placed his hand on my head. It seemed like he wanted to rub it, but it also seemed like he was just leaving it there.

What made me feel a little strange was that he seemed more like a calm and reliable person in my eyes. Compared to the irascible older brother in the anime, he seemed a little too calm, which made me seem more irascible.

Of course, when I first met him, he was also irritable. But he seemed to have restrained his attitude very quickly.

Ah, I remember now. Ever since I told him that night that I trusted him unconditionally because he was a soldier, he had been this calm.

He was restrained and calm, and he even seemed to be comforting me. Of course, this kind of comforting wasn't done well. In fact, it seemed a little clumsy.

"It's okay."

He retracted his hand and looked into my eyes. I didn't know why, but I felt that his face was a little red.

The sun was a little hot. I reckoned that his face was quite red.

He sat next to me and turned to look at the sea again.

"You are very outstanding."

I am very outstanding … very outstanding … very outstanding …

I could feel my eyes light up. I looked at his face and smiled slyly.
