[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

"That's pretty much it, so you both have a good night's rest. I take my leave and wish you both a good night."

After explaining her plan roughly, Sha Lai opened the only small window, pulled out a black cloak to wrap herself up, put one foot on the ground, propped her right hand on the window sill, and rolled out sideways.

Seeing the two people in the room who were nearly two meters tall staring at the window, she suddenly felt that she was a lot easier.Small stature, as expected, also has the advantage of being small.

After smiling and waving to the two of them, Shalai stepped on the crescent steps to the main hall of the palace.As for the remaining two people, well, according to their strength, if something happens to them in this country, what she needs to worry about is definitely the safety of the other party and whether her plan will go bankrupt.So, she didn't feel guilty at all just leaving them behind.

After a moment of joy in her heart that she was temporarily freed from the two big troubles, Shalai also bypassed the side hall that Mia had been cleaned up to accommodate them, and came to the top of the main hall.

This main hall is much taller than the side halls next to it.The top layer is like beads on the top of the cone, which looks a little lonely in the sky and is out of place with the surroundings.

Because the windows on each floor were brightly lit, Shalai couldn't tell which floor Mia lived on.She had no choice but to pick a patrolling soldier below who was not easy to find, then stopped at the side facing the window, took out the binoculars, and began to spy on the situation inside.

The windows on the ground floor are connected to the main hall, this can be skipped.The second floor is full of bookshelves?jump over.On the third floor, it looks like there is nothing. This is because the windows are set in the corridor...

After carefully peeking at the first six floors, Sha Lai felt that the king's army in this palace was really too loyal.The window is connected to either the study or the corridor. Just like this, you can still see guards guarding the side. Are all the troops of this country concentrated here?

Without any hope, she raised the binoculars to look at the top floor. She expected to find nothing, so she switched to the window on the other side and continued to observe. A dazed figure in the starry sky.

Although from Shalai's angle, he could only see the back of the opponent's head.But judging from the complex golden embroidery pattern on the exposed blue blouse and the coiled silver long hair, this person is undoubtedly her target for tonight - Mia Simerip.

Knowing Mia's location, the next thing will be much easier.

Putting the binoculars back into his pocket, he straightened his clothes, switched to nobleman mode, stepped on moon steps and volleyed in front of the window on the top floor, bent his right index finger, and knocked on the window very naturally.

So, when Mia turned her head in surprise, what she saw was the smiling handsome face of the brown-haired young man occupying a small half of the window.

But before she recovered enough to let out a scream, the young man raised his hands to show that he was harmless, and at the same time mouthed silently.

"Can we talk?"

Because it was just a very simple sentence, even Mia, who had never learned lip-reading, could easily understand what he meant.

After hesitating for a while, the young queen suppressed the exclamation under her tongue. She stretched out her hand to open the window, and then backed away sideways. It was very obvious to ask someone to come in and talk in detail.

But Shalai didn't take this opportunity to enter.Although the short stay at the window was enough for her to judge that this room was just a small study, not Mia's bedroom.But in order to leave a better impression on the other party, Sha Lai still just stepped on the moon and stopped outside the window, using Diamond's unique noble and gentle taste, and said slowly,

"It's impolite to come before midnight, so I won't go in and disturb you. Is it okay to talk like this?"

And Sha Lai's careful thinking did indeed have a good effect.

Mia, who had already retreated to the wall and secretly touched the bell on the wall with her right hand, relaxed slightly after hearing these words.Although his right hand was still pressing on the bell, he finally didn't press it down.

So, Mia maintained this posture with her back against the wall, turned her head to look at the brown-haired young man who was still smiling outside the window, and smiled faintly.

Although she was at a passive disadvantage, her every move was very comfortable, without any panic.The sideways body blocked her right hand for pressing the bell, and the blue eyes stared at the young man outside the window with a smile, as if she welcomed his visit very much.

"Diamond, you are really a gentleman, so this is the best. I just don't know why you are visiting late at night?"

Feeling the alienation in Mia's words, Xilai's smile deepened, and her words became more sincere, "Actually, it's not a big deal, but I just think the starry sky in Simirip is beautiful, so I left those two pirates and slipped out for a stroll. Go shopping. But after seeing Mia, who is like me, admiring the starry sky, I wanted to say hello."

Just kidding, she can't let this night visit ruin the goodwill she spent the entire dinner party on.Before bringing up the real thing, get the relationship back together.

"In fact, for a businessman like me who has been floating on the sea all year round, the most common thing, apart from the ever-changing sea, is this eternal starry sky."

I found that Mia's eyes flickered when she said "the eternal starry sky", and the smile on Shalai's face added a bit of sincerity.

Sure enough, although I don't know why, Mia will stay here alone at night to watch the stars, which proves that the starry sky has a special meaning to her.If this meaning can be unearthed, it will be a big progress.

But before Sha came to sort out the small calculations in her heart, Mia's next words successfully made her smile froze at the corner of her mouth.

"But in different places, at different times, the astrology you see is different, right?"

It's true to say so, but usually at such a time, wouldn't girls just ignore this question emotionally?

Sha Lai, who thought she had a good grasp of normal women's psychology, was very depressed to find that she still didn't practice enough.Tsk, if it was Dazai, he would surely be able to coax people into revealing everything about their first love.

After a short period of self-criticism in her heart, Sarai quickly put aside the frustration, gave up the appearance of a melancholy young man looking up at the starry sky, turned her head to look at Mia in the room, and let her expression and tone be natural There was a hint of helplessness.

"Mia, you really are, you don't have any romance of a girl your age."

"I'm really sorry, but Diamond, you seem to understand girls very well."

Mia responded to the slightly intimate complaint with a smile, and even joked back.The word 'ah' at the end is extraordinarily meaningful.

"Haha, this... is really not what you think."

Sha, who was taken off the topic by Mia, could only laugh helplessly.In the bottom of my heart, I started to look at this queen who was only two years older than me with admiration.

At first she thought she was just a kind-hearted girl, but now it seems that she can ascend to the throne with this way of handling things in troubled times, and the other party is much more difficult than she expected.

In this way, it was really the right decision to invite Shanks and the others over.If you really can't outsmart it in the end, you can only grab it.

Probably because of the divergence of Xilai's thinking, the silence lasted a little longer, which made Mia mistakenly think that she was really embarrassed, so she opened her mouth and passed her a step.

"Okay, I just said it casually, don't you take it seriously? When did the youngest of Jewel's family not let go?"

With this tone, does Diamond have a good reputation outside?Obviously what she saw and heard was a young and promising young man?

After silently making a note of Diamond in her heart, Sha Lai decided to continue acting according to the character she set at the beginning.

"That's all rumors, completely unbelievable. Isn't there still a rumor that the red-haired Shanks killed people like hemp, and blood dyed his hair red? As far as you can see from Mia's observation tonight, his hair color, How can it not match the blood?"

He casually said something that he wanted to complain about a long time ago, and after seeing a smile in Mia's eyes, Sha Lai took advantage of the victory and pursued, determined to reverse his bad image.

"Actually, because of my family's business, I can't even see the stars often. Sometimes I stay in the study for three or four days without knowing what's going on outside."

Like a poor person bound by the family, Shalai sighed exaggeratedly, spread her hands, and continued: "So this time, Mia, you transferred the gem to the World Government in advance, and you just gave me a little rest time , so that I can take a good look at this beautiful starry sky."

"Speaking of which, tomorrow night you will have a meteor shower that you see only once in ten years. Mia, would you like to watch it with me?"

Sha Lai put one hand on the window sill casually, stretched out her hand to Mia with a smile, and told her real reason for coming tonight.

This invitation gesture, no matter which country it is placed on this sea, will not be recognized as a serious invitation gesture.But this action is very natural, like an old friend inviting you to drink afternoon tea, with a natural and irresistible magic.

But Mia didn't move. Unbeknownst to him, the floating clouds covered the cold light of the moon. The brown-haired young man stood under the light of the desk lamp in the study. His brown pupils reflected the orange light source, like stars illuminated by the sun. Shines with a soft but hard to ignore light.

"Mia, tomorrow there will be a meteor shower that is once in ten years, let's go see it together?"

A childish male voice suddenly sounded in Mia's mind, a voice that she thought she had long forgotten and was drowned in the torrent of time.

It seems she still hasn't let go.

The corners of her lips curled up in self-deprecating, and before the young man outside the window realized something was wrong and spoke, Mia suddenly stepped forward and held his outstretched hand.

"How can only the night be enough? Tomorrow, let's go out and play all day."

Think of it as her last indulgence before becoming a king.
