Hello, Admiral Akainu
Chapter 8
I felt cold and hot at the same time. I wanted to struggle, but I couldn't move at all.
Being exposed to the cold wind for an entire night didn't make me collapse on the spot, but instead delayed the onset of an attack. No matter what, it was too much.
Based on my many years of experience, I was certain that I had a fever.
My hands and feet were cold, my head was dizzy, and my throat was sore. It was the same familiar formula, the same familiar taste.
If we were in the apartment, I would have probably swallowed the medicine with my eyes closed.
"Don't move."
But it was much better now than in the apartment. There was someone with me.
I slowly closed my eyes and adjusted my breathing to clear my mind.
I didn't know how long it took for me to fully "wake up." My eyes were still closed, and the first thing I said was, "Has the messenger bird arrived?"
"… Yes."
"How is it? Can you send the letter back?"
"The moment it arrives, the messenger bird disappears. A message pops up on your phone saying 'Your item has arrived.' There's only confirmation and nothing else.
Even after you click on it, the communication is still blocked. "
How ruthless.
I tried to open my eyes. After a while, I realized that I was being hugged.
I was half sitting and half leaning in Sakaski's arms. The surroundings seemed familiar.
I wasn't at the beach. I should have returned to the cave from last night.
I was silent for a while. When I tried to stretch my hand out stiffly, I realized that I was trapped. I was hugged tightly in my down jacket, almost like a cocoon.
I raised my head in despair. All I could see was his chin.
Damn, did you have to be so cruel when I was sick?
In order to make me more obedient, you tied me up directly?
"Your medicine and items were sent here together, but I don't understand."
Perhaps it was because my gaze was too strong, but Sakasugi stiffened and put me down. He untied the rope that bound me. "You've been sleeping for a long time. It's three in the afternoon."
"I understand. Thank you."
I was sweating all over. It seemed that drinking three bottles of water before going to bed was useful. I felt much more refreshed.
I struggled to stretch my hand out. I saw that my white shirt was almost wet.
… I only bought Fat-Two and a bra. I forgot to buy clothes.
Forget it, I'll just put up with it.
A few of my parcels seemed to have been opened. Fat-Two and Bra's parcels were half-opened …
Hmm, it's worth thinking about.
I opened the box containing the towel, soap, toothbrush, and toothpaste. I was too lazy to wash it, so I wiped my face with the towel to get rid of the oil.
Sakaski handed me the medicine box. I opened a Tai Nuo pill and poked Sakaski. My voice was still a little hoarse. "Can you give me some water?"
"Sure."
He passed the water bottle to me. I touched the wall of the bottle. It was full of water, and it was still hot.
After swallowing the medicine, I raised my head and drank half a bottle of water. My throat finally felt a little better.
He still looked away. I didn't know why, but I said, "Don't open your eyes." I didn't have any strength left, so I poured the remaining water on the towel to wet it a little. Then, I took off my shirt and wiped my body.
After cleaning up, I didn't like my shirt, so I put on the vest I hadn't worn in the morning and put on a down jacket.
"You can turn your head now. Do you have my phone?"
I folded my shirt and zipped up my down jacket. When I took my phone, I realized that I had completed all my daily tasks perfectly. There was even a mysterious gift after I received everything.
A8 still hadn't come to talk to me. I thought of its voice before I fainted. I clicked on the "mysterious gift".
[Taobao's trial period has ended. The official trial period has begun. Madam, please use it well.
Sob sob sob. Madam, you really scared me. How am I going to face other madams and other AIs?]
So it's a trial period. Then, where did the medicine I ordered come from?
[Because Madam's situation was too bad, I directly sent the medicine and the Fat-Two toothpaste that Madam had bought. QAQ. Madam, I know you're very powerful, but don't hurt yourself like this …]
Who hurt who?
[… Madam, I'm sorry.]
Ignoring the A8, I glanced at Taobao. I bought two or three of the cheapest white cotton T-shirts, two or three pairs of pants, and blankets. The location of the goods popped up automatically with a "???".
It wasn't A8 that delivered the goods. In order to prevent us from contacting the outside world, it was really ruthless.
"Sakaski, do you have anything you want to buy?"
"… No."
Oh, I bought XXXL T-shirts with long and short sleeves. Don't borrow them from me later.
I bought everything I could buy in one go. I grabbed a rock next to me and watched it turn into a bun. After chewing, it turned into two or three more buns and placed them on a green leaf. "Sleep is the best recovery agent. I'll continue to sleep. I'm sorry, Sakaski, I can't explore this deserted island with you.
The medicine I bought is very effective. I won't die so easily. Also, if you can, please bring me a bottle of water. "
The temperature in the cave was very comfortable and warm. Lava dotted the cave, and the light made me feel like I was at home.
It didn't matter if the floor was a little hard. I'll just sleep.
It's not like I haven't slept on a hard bed before.
I subconsciously curled up. I didn't even know how I curled up into a ball. I fell asleep within two seconds.
Tai Nuo is really useful.
·
It was very quiet. Or rather, this silence was intentional.
Other than the sound of the wind outside, there was only a slightly nasal breathing sound.
Sakaski stared at the lava he created with the Lava Fruit on the ground. He looked at the woman who was curled up and took out the small bottle she gave him.
It was a brown powder with excellent hemostatic properties. The smell was a little pungent, but it was really effective.
For home use or for military use?
She said she hadn't used it in a long time. Thinking back to when she pounced on him …
Sakaski's eyes darkened. He knew that this woman was very cunning, very cunning.
Step by step, she seemed to be walking casually, but she constantly began to test his bottom line.
From the very beginning, she had shown that she was "useful", and then she had taken advantage of him when he wasn't paying attention. He didn't know if it was her judgment or something else, but she would always stop at his bottom line and look at him, forcing him to take another step back.
This woman …
Qiu Hua.
Thinking of the trust she showed when she said "because you're a soldier", and the mocking expression when she was "punished", Sakaski had to admit that this woman was very strong. She wasn't as ordinary and useless as she said.
Even at the very beginning when he wanted her dead, she was still smiling.
With a slight movement of his wrist, Sakaski looked up and saw the food she left on the leaf.
Big and
Long Bread in the MOM Pirates had the same fruit ability, but it was different from him. It could only touch stones.
As for the phone …
Don't look at my picture or the red W icon, you can do anything else.
Was she being too honest and trusting of him too much?
Seeing the memo next to the W icon, Sakaski simply clicked on it.
Although he couldn't understand the general meaning, he guessed some of the words should be able to understand.
The first one at the bottom should be a lot of daily necessities. He also saw Chinese characters like clothes, tea, etc. He clicked on the time.
2016.
2016?
He clicked on it one by one. There was a string of inexplicable English letters that said "email".
Scrolling up, it was obvious that there was a girl's address, but he had never seen the name of the place before.
The second one at the top, he clicked on it was 2018, the date was August 16, and there were eight words written on it.
This date was his birthday.
The first one was August 19, 2018. The first two words should be a name. It seemed to be a word that Ning He didn't know.
Most of the names were two characters, and the content was very long. He confirmed that it should be the longest memo.
It should be interspersed with a conversation with an unknown person. What made it a little difficult for him to understand was that there seemed to be information in it. Although he didn't understand, 21 was obviously the age and 172 was obviously the height.
After comparing the two pieces of information, the only thing in common was two words.
It was a little difficult to understand.
At the end, it was still densely packed, but at least he understood three numbers.
60,70,50。
Was it age, or something else?
If 2018 was her time, then she came from more than five hundred years in the future.
Five hundred years, and she fell in love with someone from five hundred years ago?
Sakaski sneered and put the phone aside after pressing the "lock screen" button.
He didn't think that this woman liked him, but the look in her eyes at that time made him believe it.
She looked ugly, but inexplicably persistent. Her eyes …
The woman with dyed hair that was half brown and half black lay on the ground. Occasionally, she seemed to tremble in discomfort.
She muttered something in her mouth, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
They had only known each other for a day, but it felt like they had known each other for a long time.
The woman who called herself Qiu Hua lay on the ground and curled up even more. Her whole body began to tremble, and her teeth seemed to have begun to chatter.
Was he going to watch her die, or was he going to watch her display her self-esteem for no reason?
But, was this self-esteem?
He didn't know why, but he remembered how she waved at him resolutely in the early hours of the morning yesterday. Like a beast that didn't want to show its wound, she crawled forward to a place where he couldn't see. But she didn't know that her difficult and painful breathing was too loud. Even if she calmed down, he could still judge her condition from her voice.
Deceiving oneself, boring woman.
The wind at the entrance of the cave gradually became stronger, but she leaned against the entrance of the cave and didn't notice.
Her face was terrible, and she looked embarrassed but inexplicably stubborn.
He stood up and picked her up. This woman was unexpectedly light. If he looked closely at her face, he could see the knife marks on her eyes.
From the corners to the ends of her eyes, there were cuts in both eyes.
The mystery didn't decrease, but instead increased.
If there were knife marks, did she adjust her eyes and change her appearance?
When she was picked up, she seemed to open her eyes and look at him, then immediately fell asleep again, but she leaned a little towards him.
Forget it.
He sat down stiffly like when he was by the sea. He adjusted her position slightly and used his left hand to surround the entrance of the cave with lava to prevent the rain and cold wind from entering.
After doing this, Sakaski stopped in mid-air and looked at the woman who had fallen asleep in his arms with some frustration.
