[Pirate] I want to abandon the captain every day

The moment she stepped onto the deck, Ninomiyaro Kazusa looked in the direction of the storage room, paused briefly and continued walking towards the kitchen.

The bag was placed on the table, and Deuce opened the money bag and asked strangely: "Why is there still more money?"

"There are some kind-hearted gentlemen who insist on giving it to me, and I have no choice but to live up to their kindness."

Taking out the contents of the bag, Ninomiyaro Kazusa asked Michal to come and sit down: "Teacher, what do you want to drink? I just bought coffee and tea. The only drinks are milk beer and sherry."

"Please give me a cup of coffee." Michal sat down a little uneasily.

"Don't be so polite, we are companions."

Picking up the apron on the chair and putting it on, Ninomiyaro Kazusa turned her back to Ace and took out her hair and said, "To celebrate the teacher's joining me in preparing dinner, you will have to figure out how to solve the problem of eating after this meal."

The rope of the apron hung down on his knees, and Ace thought for a moment before realizing that he was asked to tie it.

He reached out and picked up the rope and tightened it. His wrist was suddenly held, and Ace heard her whisper: "It's too tight, Ace."

"Yeah." With the same soft voice, Ace lifted the tight rope in his hand.

Taking a breath with toothache, Deus took this opportunity to crazily stuff food into his mouth. When Ace came back to his senses, he couldn't even grab it.

"Don't worry about them. Teacher, if you don't eat now, you'll be gone later."

"Okay." Michal looked over there and asked, "Where are they..."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood that they have a normal relationship." Deus, who was often teased himself, quickly shook his head: "Hesha has a bit of a bad taste, you will understand later."

Deus could tell that her attitude towards them was similar to that of children. Although he was not convinced, it was the fact.

As the rope in his hand was tightened and retied, a curved butterfly appeared, naturally hanging down along the arc of the body, and landed in Ace's palm.

"Thank you." Straightening the bow, Ninomiyaro Kazusa turned around and propped up the back of the chair, leaning down to keep eye level with Ace: "That's great."

He rarely received praise, and it was something not worth mentioning.

Ace blushed all over as Ninomiyaro and Sae coaxed the child, and wanted to explode, but the hand that touched him was so gentle, and for a moment he didn't know whether to stop or thank him.

"...I didn't do anything." After thinking for a long time, he finally choked out this sentence: "No need to praise me."

Thick hair passed through his fingers, and Ninomiyaro Kazusa wiped away the fine beads of sweat on his forehead with the back of her fingers: "Ace, look at me."

He held Ace's face and forced him to look at her: "Tell me what I have to do to praise you. What are your standards?"

"You know that's not what I meant!" Ace's fast heart finally couldn't bear the load, and Ace stood up and wanted to run away.

Squeezing his shoulders and easily pushing him back into the chair, his hands slid down his arms to hold his wrists, and Ninomiyaro Kazusa put her power into his hands.

"Then let me tell you." Seeing him blinking uneasily, Ninomiya Kazusa said seriously: "Even if you don't do anything, as long as you look at me, I will be very happy."

Slowly squatting down to fully place yourself in his sight, covering your hands downwards and interlocking your fingers.

Ninomiyaro Kazusa slowed down her tone so that he could tell whether he was sincere or not: "You have to get used to my compliments."

"When you appear, I will praise you with my words. When I am silent, you should see it with my eyes. Even if you leave, my heart will never stop speaking of love."

"Can you understand, Ace?"

"No reason?"

"No reason."

Ace stared into her eyes intently, easily seeing through his indulging self.

It's true, more trepidation than joy. How could she like me so much and why?

He wanted to run away but couldn't bear to let go. The blue in his vision began to blur, and Ace buried his head on Ninomiyaro and Sa's shoulder to escape.

So scared, but also so happy.

His heart contracted so intensely that he couldn't even hear his own heartbeat. It was stopping so it wouldn't disturb her.

Why are you so sad? Hesha, can you tell me.

The coldness on her shoulders made Ninomiyaro Kazusa at a loss for the first time, and the hot and humid breath made her feel the burning pain.

She opened her arms and hugged him completely, trying with all her strength to hide him in her body.

I'm sorry, I didn't expect to make you so sad.

My intention was just to let you know how much I like you.

You deserve all the praise, even if it’s just a small thing, I’m happy for it.

His tense body was under her hands, and Ninomiyaro Kazusa stroked her again and again, patiently waiting for him to calm down.

"Okay, I'll hug you later, I'm going to prepare dinner."

"..."

It was so embarrassing. After calming down, the memory just kept replaying. Ace screamed in his heart and went crazy. He just jumped into the sea.

The rhythm of his breathing betrayed Ace's thoughts. Ninomiyaro Kazusa rubbed the back of his neck and said amusingly, "Come here and do it."

"...Oh." Ace responded vaguely as he walked down the steps. He lowered his head and followed Ninomiyaro Kazusa to the fireside. He didn't raise his head the whole time and didn't dare to look at the expressions of Deus and the others.

Michal, whose soul was shocked, watched blankly as Ace bumped into Ninomiyaro Kazusa's back, was hit on the forehead by her, raised his arms and head, and was put on an apron by her.

"Deus?" Is this what you call an ordinary relationship?

Deus, who was concentrating on cooking, looked up and said calmly in a tone of someone who had been there before: "Why don't you eat? If not, I'll eat it all."

That's it? He's seen a lot.

Now that the teacher has joined, he will have someone to accompany him in the future. He is speechless: "Hesha is a good cook. You can eat more later. She said she won't cook anymore."

Michal nodded with a question mark, maybe he was making too much fuss.

After a while, he still asked hesitantly: "Are there only four of us on the boat?"

Ace, who was squatting on the ground peeling potatoes, said, "Yes."

"But……"

The coffee cup put down in front of him interrupted Michal's words. Kazusa Ninomiya held the tray and said, "Teacher, just wait for the meal. Leave the rest to them."

"I understand." Michal picked up the coffee and his whole face wrinkled up in pain for a second, and he tried his best not to spit it out without being rude.

"Oh, sorry, the super concentrated bitter coffee I bought may not be suitable for the first time."

Although she said she was sorry, Ninomiyaro and Sasha's eyes curled up with laughter.

"It's okay." Michal, who was so miserable that he was digging at the table, was still making excuses for her: "I didn't expect that the coffee is very fragrant."

"Really? I took the sugar cubes and milk."

Looking at her back, Michal's hands suddenly trembled: "...Okay, okay."

Deus shook his head silently beside him. It was so pitiful that newcomers would be bullied just like this when they boarded the ship.

"Eat less, you won't be able to eat for a while."

The box in his hand was taken away, and Deuce was about to nod when he saw Ninomiyaro Kazusa walking up to Ace and asking him to open his mouth.

Ace, who was still feeling embarrassed, had his cheeks bulging. At this moment, he suddenly felt a ray of light on his back. When he turned around, he saw Deus' disdainful gaze.

Captain, huh.

Can't eat, huh.

"Deus, can I make you a pizza?"

"it is good."

Seeing that Deus' mood improved for a second and he ran to knead the dough, Michal finally understood who was really in charge on this ship: "Please command me as you please!"

Of course she had no problem with everyone coming to help, so she rushed them all to peel potatoes. Ninomiyaro Kazusa was making sauce and asked: "Teacher, how did you meet Ace and the others?"

"My purpose of going to sea is different from others. I want to go to children who cannot receive education. It is probably for this reason that every pirate group has rejected me."

Michal's eyes softened: "Ace was the first person to recognize my dream and took the initiative to invite me on board. I'm really grateful."

At that time, he was just watching the two teenagers being chased by a group of people and helping them casually. The one wearing the hat jumped up to him and said, "The marksmanship is really amazing. How come someone like you hasn't found the pirates yet?"

"It's great to be a teacher, so what if it's different? Do you want to come on my boat?"

Listening to Michal's description, Ninomiyaro Kazusa looked at Ace, as if he felt her gaze, Ace turned around.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached out to her.

Without any hesitation, she put her hand into his palm, and in a corner where no one noticed, they held hands quietly.

"I also believe in Ace, he will be a great captain."

With a smile on her lips, Ninomiyaro Kazusa replied: "I know."

She knew, Ace repeated in his mind, holding his hand tighter.

When the dinner was all served, at that moment Michal completely understood why Ace and Deus were so obedient. He said gratefully: "I'm starting."

After she made it clear that she would not cook for the next meal, the three of them worked hard to cook. Ninomiyaro Kazusa leaned against the wall and drank slowly with a glass of ice water in her hand.

"Hesha, aren't you going to eat?" Ace noticed her leaving immediately.

"Swallow what's in your mouth before you speak." Ninomiyaro Kazusa could barely hear these words clearly: "I'm not a big eater like you."

"understood."

"You guy, don't spray the stuff in your mouth everywhere!"

She knew this would happen, Ninomiyaro Kazusa shook her head helplessly.

Michal, who couldn't eat anymore, first announced his defeat, walked to her and said, "Is it really okay?"

Ninomiyaro Kazusa's position happened to face the storage room. She shook her head indifferently: "It is best for them to complete their homework alone."

"I understand." Michal said that he would never intervene.

They had better find out quickly that Ninomiyaro Kazusa is already a little dissatisfied with the delay and is too lax.

In the middle of the night, noise and flames broke the tranquility.

"There are rats!" Ace's voice was full of confusion.

"What's wrong with the mouse?" Deus' voice suddenly rose in dissatisfaction: "This mouse is taller than me!"

"Don't hit, don't hit, I'm human!"

The sound of hurried footsteps approached. Ninomiyaro Kazusa, who was about to get out of bed, saw Ace pushing the door open and running to her side anxiously: "An enemy sneaked onto the ship, are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Putting her hand on his chest to calm him down, Ninomiyaro Kazusa leaned on Ace's shoulder and looked up at him with a smile: "So you came to me immediately?"

Her safety was all on his mind, and Ace, who was running madly at all costs, had not calmed down yet, with a serious and firm look on his face: "You are the most important."

It is an existence that I must protect.
