good brother

Although Ace said he was always nervous, he was not stupid at all. If he studied hard, he could memorize all the upper and lower case of the alphabet in less than a week.

Then, naturally, there are words, and the first word that every child is most interested in must be their own name.

"A-C-E-! This is Ace's name~"

Angel held Ace in his arms, resting his chin on Ace's small head, holding Ace's hand, and slowly wrote on the ground with a tree fork.

"Do you know what that means?"

"What do you mean?"

Ace raised his head and asked, the soft hair brushed against Angor's neck, which made Angor feel more comfortable.

"Ace, the literal translation is the trump card!"

Taking out the poker cards he had prepared earlier, Angel placed a tip next to the words on the ground.

"The first card in the poker is an ace!"

"The trump card refers to the strongest existence."

"Ace, if you can't become very strong, you will be sorry for your name~"

Little Ace stared at the words on the ground for a while, then raised his head and asked again.

"Then who gave me my name?"

Angor froze for a moment.

How to answer this question...

"...your parents."

"Then who are my parents?"

Ace asked curiously.

really!

Angel sighed slightly, rubbed Ace's hair, and spoke as gently as possible.

"You'll know when you grow up."

Standard sentences for adults to bluff children.

Three-year-old Ace didn't think anything was wrong. After all, the people in his memory now were just bandits like Angel and Dadan. Garp only came here when Ace was one year old. Ace naturally I won't remember, so parents have everything, and they are really dispensable people for little Ace.

"Then, how do you write Angel's name?"

Unlike when he asked his parents before, now Ace's eyes are twinkling, obviously he is very concerned about this question.

"My name?"

Angel breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to hold Ace's little hand with a smile.

"Written like this, A——N—G——E——L~Angel~"

"It means angel~"

Angor's tone was a little ostentatious.

but……

"Angel? What's that?"

Little Ace, who established early on that his goal is to be strong, is not interested in fairy tales, and it is obvious that no one around him will automatically and consciously tell him bedtime stories.

Angel you ask?

His... storytelling ability is also considered a masterpiece...

That's not a story at all, it's an outline!

Like the story of Snow White.

This is what Angel told Ace.

"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Snow White. One day her mother died, so her father found a stepmother for her. The stepmother was a bad witch. There was a magic mirror. She is beautiful, she is very upset, she finds a hunter who wants to get rid of Snow White, but in the process, the hunter is betrayed by Snow White's Raiders, let Snow White go, Snow White runs away, and meets seven people in the forest The dwarves lived with them, but the bad witch knew about it and tricked Snow White with a poisoned apple. After touching Snow White, Snow White vomited out the poisoned apple, and the two of them had a happy ending."

Where does this slot come from... ←_←

In short, after listening to it once, Little Ace never agreed to listen to it for the second time...

Because it's so boring...and there are so many words he doesn't know what they mean...

Like strategy or something...

As a result, Angor was exuding a depressed aura for the next month.

Naturally, Ace, who had never heard the word angel mentioned before, had no idea what it meant.

"Angels are messengers sent by God from heaven to bring happiness to the world. Most of them are beautiful and have wings on their backs. That's probably what they mean."

Angel touched his chin, thought for a long time, and gave an ambiguous answer.

"Well, it's right to be a good person after all~"

Ace stared at Angel's exquisite face for a while, then said with a smile.

"Angel is an angel~"

Angel was a little confused.

"why?"

"Because I'm so happy to have Angel here~"

"Haha~"

Angel smiled and rubbed Ace's little head.

"I'm not sent from heaven~ little idiot~"

"Ah?! Who are you calling an idiot!" (;｀O)o

"Who should be stupid~" (￣y▽￣)~*

"Asshole! Stop!" (〝▼皮▼)

"Don't~"(▽｀)ノ

Angor and Ace started fighting like this, and the laughing and laughing voices of the two children echoed in the forest.

Who is whose angel is really not sure~
