[ONE PIECE] The daily life of Shura field in four eyes

Chapter58

Monologue - The occasion of the third episode of Sakaski ([-])

——The clouds fall into mist, and the dead leaves fall into late autumn.

The stars blend into the Milky Way and fall into a sweet dream late at night

Until then, I will be immersed in my boundless love for you and never look back

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

The swing that Seleutine was looking forward to was ready on her birthday

It was not a laborious thing in the first place, and with the good materials specially sent by Porusalino who got the news from nowhere, Sakaski personally hung a sturdy swing for her under the big tree.

I specially chose the side facing the door and carefully laid out a soft cushion.

Selustine happened to go out when he was setting up the swing. She didn't say hello to Sakaski, but he knew exactly what the little girl was doing.

Since she was eight years old, she has gone to Kuzan every birthday and asked him to take her to complete the tattoo on her back. This year is no exception.

Sakaski completed this small project before Seleustin came back. He changed out of his formal clothes and put on his home clothes. He sat at the coffee table and drank some cold tea alone.

Sitting here, my eyes always drift towards the door unconsciously

When will she come back?

This thought made Sakaski stunned. He is now just like Seleustin who has been here every day for these years. He is sitting here boringly. The only thing he can do is to wait for the person he misses to come back.

I miss you so much...

He no longer stared at the empty door, but instead looked up at the shady trees above his head and the faint blue sky visible between the branches.

In fact, Sakaski himself knew clearly that although he brought Seleustin back out of responsibility, today, his feelings for her can no longer be summed up simply by the word responsibility. Got it

He will miss her and miss her. There are many places in his life where he can think of her at a glance.

Seleustin's shadow was like a vine, tightly wrapped around his heart, slowly rubbing into his flesh and blood, causing him pain if anyone touched it.

He knows that this confusing feeling is called love

He loves Seleustin, maybe it's cherishment, or maybe it's true love. Sakaski doesn't bother to analyze the ingredients in that love. In short, it's all love, and it's all emotions he has never experienced before.

That's something associated only with the name Seleustin

I don’t know how long it took, but a golden figure vaguely appeared at the door. Kuzan’s tall figure was not visible behind her. She must have come back by herself.

As for Selustine, the moment she stepped into the courtyard, her first glance was not to see the swing she had always wanted, but to look straight at Sakaski, and then she ran towards him.

This was beyond Sakaski's expectations. After all, teenagers should be more playful. He originally thought that Seleustin would go see the swing first.

He was wrong. It was clear that Selustine couldn't see anything else when he was present.

"Sakaski"

She always ran towards him happily and called his name sweetly with a soft voice, but she would always stop in front of him and never get closer.

Whenever this happens, Sakaski will feel a little sad. As expected, Seleustin is still more afraid of him.

Thinking about it now, the most intimate touch they had ever had was the hug when he brought her unconscious out of the deserted town six years ago.

Thinking this, a slightly cold hand suddenly wrapped around his knuckles

He came back to his senses and looked at the girl who was standing in front of him. Only his own shadow was reflected in those clear blue eyes.

"Swing, did you make it for me, Sakaski?"

There were still some unused materials piled nearby. She would find that this was normal. Sakaski nodded, but was suddenly burned by the girl opposite holding her hand.

Because that smile was so hot, like a beautiful fire, a fire that burned only for him.

Sakaski held the soft and petite palm back, and his heart seemed to be filled with honey. He had never been so full and happy.

He smiled, and the raised corners of his mouth softened his resolute face. This smile successfully stunned Selustine, who had never seen his smiling face before.

She boldly reached out her hand and gently touched the corner of his lips

As for Sakaski, he did not take back this rare smile. He still looked at those blue eyes with an extremely gentle expression.

The hot feelings that were about to overflow from his chest made him suddenly want to reach out and hug her, but he restrained himself and just held her hand tighter and tighter.

"Happy birthday, Seleustin"

Happy birthday, my little girl

The swing was made by Sakaski, and this knowledge seemed to be the reason why Seleustin was particularly fond of it.

She began to lie on the swing every day, either basking in the sunlight that barely penetrated the shade of the trees, or holding a book and reading it with gusto, or looking up boredly, waving in the gentle breeze of Malinfando. drowsy

There are many things like this, but the most important ones are not listed among them.

She was willing to stay there, mostly because she could see Sakaski returning home as soon as she looked up from that position.

Sakaski was also used to seeing a blond figure sitting on the swing every morning, smiling gently at himself and watching him leave.

Selustine was waiting for him, waiting for him to go home under the tree. This also became the reason for him to go home on time in the evening.

But one day, that figure no longer waited for him

Seleustin fell ill. Kuzan noticed her poor condition and immediately sent her to the hospital.

Looking at Kuzan who came in with an anxious and angry face, Sakaski was a little stunned by what he said.

I got sick?How could it be that when she went out in the morning, she was still sitting on the swing that had just been built not long ago, and the smile on her face was as gentle as usual.

Why did she fall ill within half a day?

Kuzan's eyes seemed to be filled with disappointment when he looked at him. The emotions contained in the words he blurted out were so complicated that it was difficult for Sakaski to distinguish them for a while, but there was no doubt that Kuzan was angry at this time.

Because he didn't take good care of Selustine, because the little girl got sick somewhere he didn't know, but he was still sitting leisurely in the office and lamenting that she was obedient and sensible, and that he never had to worry.

He stood up suddenly, pushed Kuzan in front of him, and rushed to the hospital with rapid strides.

On the way, his fists clenched tighter and tighter, and his stern face looked gloomier than usual.

Selustine is sick now, she needs him, she is waiting for him

He will take her home now

That day was the introduction, when Sakaski opened the door, when he saw her tears, when he indulged his feelings for the first time and held her tightly in his arms.

That feeling, everything about it, has become a matter of course, but it seems like something that has been waiting for too long to burst out.

He faced his heart frankly, and he began to realize that Seleustin was already so important in his heart.

It's important that he can no longer endure her alienation, and he can no longer endure the few steps that will forever separate them.

Seleustin doesn't want to be near him, that's okay

Let him break that insignificant barrier. No matter whether Seleustin is in awe or admiration for him, as long as Sakaski reaches out his hand, in this embrace that can melt everything

All that's left is boundless love

This love is gradually deteriorating. As Seleustin grows up, Sakaski sees this clearly.

But he didn't want to stop it, and he couldn't stop it. That smile was his disaster.

Seleustin is his destiny

From that day on, Seleustine was no longer afraid of getting close to him. She began to truly open her heart to Sakaski. She began to come over and hold his hand, and she also smiled when she welcomed him home every evening. gave a hug

There are many, many, many, many touches between him and her with heart-stopping power.

Everything became logical. He would hold her in his arms when she was having nightmares and stroke her long hair, and she would carefully trace his brow bone with her fingertips when he pretended to sleep. , eye sockets, high bridge of nose and cold corners of lips

They began to give this home a different layer of scorching temperature.

Another two years have passed by, but Sakaski has never forgotten the doubts when he brought her back, the brown-haired woman named Kana who was not her relative but desperately protected her, and Seleustin. The name and past that I don’t want to mention either

His little girl will always be safe and sound by his side, and Sakaski will not allow anyone or anything potentially dangerous to threaten her.

So he started investigating and followed the clues to find her heavy and dark past.

The few thin pages of paper on the desk felt as heavy as a thousand pounds in Sakaski's hands.

Germa 66, Vinsmoke's house, body modification...

Needless to say, Seleustin's iconic curly eyebrows and the experimental number now covered by a red tattoo on her lower back can prove the authenticity of this information.

She was declared dead when she was eight years old by her biological father, the current king of Germa.

The Kana who protected her had an older sister who was sold to the Kingdom of Germa since she was a child, and later became the princess, the maid of Seleustin's mother.

What happened next is easy to guess. When Seleucid was eight years old, she ran away. In order to cover up her disappearance, Gaji directly released the news of her death. After that, Seleucid took the route to escape from Germa through her mother's maid. , moved to Kana, but did not expect that the situation in the country where the town was located was so complicated.

Encountered a robbery by pirates, Kana, who was entrusted by her sister, risked her life to protect her. Then Sakaski arrived, fought off the remaining pirates, and brought her back to Marinefando.

Sakaski's hand holding the pile of information suddenly ignited with heat, and a few thin pages of paper immediately turned to ashes in the magma.

There is very little information about Seleustin before she was eight years old, but judging from the special abilities she displayed and her self-healing power far beyond ordinary people, it is not difficult to imagine what happened to her as a child.

The cause of her sudden illness two years ago and her extremely weak resistance to drugs were probably the side effects of those experiments.

Sakaski gritted his teeth, and his uncontrollable ability turned his clenched fist into lava, which burned directly through the table, but he had no time to care.

Indescribable anger, and underneath that, a deep, guilty feeling.

How had his Seleutine, the Seleutine who was more beautiful than anything else in the world, survived those dark years?

In the corners where light does not shine, there is no justice

Is that so?It was because of this that she asked herself that question with full uncertainty and doubt when they first met.

——"Absolute...justice? What is that?"

Sakaski now recalled her tone and expression at that time again, as if he could still see her vulnerability.

If there is justice, then why is it that the things she has been experiencing in the past few years still exist openly in this world?

If there is justice, why doesn't anyone save her and let the light shine into the endless darkness around her?

Sakaski can't even imagine now what the consequences would be if he had not chosen to bring her back and let her open her eyes and look at this chaotic sea with doubts about justice.

In that case, Seleustin will undoubtedly completely lose his trust in the navy and lose his last hope in this evil-ridden era.

Sakaski has never been so lucky. Fortunately, the girl is still living in the sunshine, enjoying the clear dew and the delicate fragrance of flowers in his courtyard.

He didn't know what he was feeling when he returned home and saw the figure walking towards him.

The golden sky cast a halo over her long, white dress. She walked over with a smile, step by step, as elegant and quiet as the inexperienced princess in the picture book.

Sakaski let her get closer, but felt that such a distance still could not satisfy him, so he stretched out his hand, hugged her waist tightly, and embedded her into his arms

"Seleustin..."

I will protect you, I will be your light, I will spend the rest of my life loving you

I just hope that I can make up for the damage caused to her in this era that he alone cannot shake.

Selustine seemed to understand what he was not saying. She seemed to chuckle lightly, then hugged Sakaski back, her delicate side face pressed against his chest with satisfaction.

"Um…"

I don’t ask for wealth, fame or fortune, I just hope to be by your side all the time.

From early spring to late autumn, from the scorching heat to the cold winter, time passes and the years turn around. As long as I can always look at you, as long as I can stay in your arms like this and feel the temperature of my beloved.

Well, it doesn’t matter if I don’t express my feelings that I shouldn’t have at all.

It's just that, if possible, I still want to tell you something.

Sakaski

I love you
