Steel-Bone's home is very monotonous and deserted. He lives alone on weekdays. Most of the time he runs tasks outside and eats three meals a day at the Navy Headquarters. The bedroom and bathroom are most often used at home.

This is not so much a home as it is a place for people to rest.

The steel frame cleaned up the second bedroom a few days ago, which is of course very simple. The bed is the style of a naval school, and the bookshelves are full of books about the navy—the steel frame has naturally read all of them, and it is certain that the child can understand them (maybe).

The clothes in the closet are also quite monotonous, because he wants to train Gray to be an excellent navy, so he prepares some clothes that are convenient for sports, and he buys more than a dozen sets at a time.

"If you need anything else, you can buy it by yourself in the future." Steel Gu didn't know how to tidy up a child's bedroom, and finally decided to just pack up a place where people could live, and let the child fill the rest by himself.

Gray nodded silently, and hurriedly added: "It's okay, this is fine now, I can sleep anywhere."

"Very good. If you want to be in the navy, you must have the spirit of being able to endure hardships, otherwise you will not be able to carry out future training."

Steel Bone said: "I have asked for leave for these few days, and I will take you to visit the Naval Academy this afternoon. In the remaining few days, I will teach you some basic combat skills, and then I will arrange for you to go to the Naval Academy to study."

"Naval school. Uh." Gray wanted to ask something.

He didn't know what a naval school was for.

Steel Bone explained: "The Naval Academy is the place to train the Navy. Talents sent from various naval branches or those who directly sign up at the headquarters will be trained in the Naval Academy. After four years, they will be tested in actual combat and they will become a full-fledged navy."

"Then I'm going to the Naval Academy too." Gray looked at the steel frame with a firm tone, "I'm going to be an admiral in the future."

"It's not so easy to be a general."

"It doesn't matter if you suffer, and it doesn't matter if you get injured. Anyway, I'm sure I can do it." Gray said loudly.

"Then I'll wait and see." Steel Gu looked at the firmness in the young man's eyes, and was very relieved in his heart.

Although he didn't know why this kid insisted on becoming an admiral so much, and whether he could persist in the future, at least for now, he was very happy.

The steel bone was still serious on the surface, but he nodded secretly in his heart. Even if he later found out that Gray had no fighting talent, as long as he studied a little, with the power of the devil fruit, he would become a good navy.

This kid needs to be a force in the Navy, not an enemy of the Navy like other D's in history.

Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of a hungry stomach rumbled in the air. Gray's body froze, and he couldn't help but glance to the side. He said guiltily, "I'm hungry. Sorry."

He didn't know what to call Cyborg, who didn't like him too much, which made the plot that Gray had envisioned earlier impossible to proceed.

Steel Gu was delayed a little due to some business matters today, and it took some time to go through the formalities, and now it was noon when he got home.

It was indeed time to eat.

He looked down at Gray, the child was still very thin, with a prominent collarbone at the neckline, and the outline of the fabric supported by bones could be clearly seen on the shoulders.

Steel Gu lowered his eyes, moved his fingers by his side slightly, and finally said lightly: "You can call me Dad, of course it's up to you, if you don't like it, you can also call me."

"Dad." Gray said bluntly, interrupting the words of the steel bone, and then seeing the steel bone froze, he immediately realized what he had done, and his ears turned red when they rubbed against each other.

Stuttering explanation: "I, of course, I just, I just think that since, since you have adopted me, then I, I must respond to you too. Uh."

Because of the sudden change of mood on his shoulder, a small flame shot out, and the end of his hair also burned.

He still has no way to freely control the flames, at least when his emotions fluctuate greatly, the flames will burn uncontrollably.

It's as if he's telling outsiders what he thinks.

"As a qualified ability user, you must first learn to control your own ability." Cyborg didn't think about it.

When Gray reached out and patted the flame on his shoulder, wanting to extinguish it quickly, Steel Bone sighed, "I'll cook."

After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, taking out the ingredients in the refrigerator.

A man who relies on the cafeteria of the headquarters for three meals a day does not need to expect him to be good at cooking. It is worthy of praise if he can cook the food easily and swallow it.

Gray managed to put out the fire, and Diandian ran to the kitchen door and asked, "What can I do for you, Dad?"

Hearing the name Dad, the steel frame who was chopping vegetables paused slightly. This is a very strange feeling, no matter how many times Gray calls it again, it will be the same.

There is a kind of kinship between them that is not related by blood.

Steel Gu usually lives alone with no worries, but now that he suddenly has such an extra child, he does feel that something is different.

This feeling was even stronger when he looked at the bubbling and steaming pot with his hands on his hips.

He looked away from the pot, and looked at Gray who was lying on the table next to him. The child was not too dirty, his head drooped on the table, and he was concentrating on the flames on the stove.

The flames were like dancing orange sprites, reflected in his dark pupils.

The noon sun came in through the windows, and the sea breeze was blowing, but there was no feeling of heat.

The steel frame felt at ease for no reason, listening to the gurgling sound of food boiling in the pot, feeling the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the sea breeze, it seemed that time slowed down.

He had never felt at ease before, there was not enough time, he had to deal with documents, and he had to go to sea to do tasks.

Let alone a dozen or 20 days, he will not be able to come back for a few months, and he also thinks that the annual vacation is unnecessary, so he always saves it.

This time, it was because I adopted the child on a whim, that I took a week's vacation in one breath.

"Don't reach out to touch it." He said suddenly, startling Gray who was about to reach out to touch the fire on the stove.

"I'm sorry." Gray stood up straight, looking at the steel frame timidly.

"Don't take this as an example." The steel frame's voice was cold and hard, making it impossible to guess that he was actually just worried that the child would be burned.

The simple curry rice was served in a bowl, and Gray wanted to express himself, so he actively took the bowl and walked in front. The hair on the back of his head was beating as he walked, making him look particularly lively.

We will live together in the future.

It wasn't until this moment that Steel Gu really realized that there was already an extra person in the family.
