The logbook of a retired knight

【58】

Andrea is, in some ways, an open-minded parent.

But in other places, she has a strange persistence.

For example, the gentleman education who knows that he will fail but still works hard, and another example is the firm son-giving bird pie.

After saying this, she also glanced at the other adults sitting beside her with a warning look, who were dull-eyed when they heard her words.

Everyone understood what she meant, and each looked away with sympathy, pretending not to hear.

Although there will be people who are not very bright...

"Wait a minute, Miss Leah, it's obviously..."

Before he finished speaking, he was thumped by the person next to him: "Idiot! Miss Liya said it's a gift bird, it's a gift bird!"

Ace didn't doubt his mother at all, but walked away with a serious expression after listening.

Andrea looked at the other party like this, and couldn't help feeling a little worried in her heart—anyway...the child will know when he grows up...right?

Shanks on the side grabbed her hand and put it down, finally had room to speak, and said with surprise: "You don't really think it's a gift bird, do you?"

"... Do I look so innocent?" Andrea was a little speechless, not knowing what kind of image she was in the eyes of her friends.

"Then you still told Ace..."

"I'll know when he grows up!" Andrea said in a positive tone - anyway, that's how she came here when she was a child. At first, she thought it was a gift bird, but then she knew it when she grew up!

And on the other side...

"Sabo, do you know? Children are sent by the bird."

"Huh? Really?"

"Of course, Mama Leah said that."

"Then let's pay attention to hunting birds in the future. It would be bad if it is going to deliver children... But what does a child-giving bird look like?"

"I don't know... let's ask again."

So this time, there were two people who came to ask questions.

Andrea looked at the innocent and curious faces of the two children, and amidst Shanks' unrestrained or concealed laughter, she raised her index finger solemnly and replied, "Ace, have you seen the Newsbird, right? It's similar to the news bird, it's bigger... You don't have to worry about hitting the delivery bird. To ensure the safe delivery of children, they are very powerful and invisible."

Sabo and Ace nodded in realization at the same time.

"No wonder we haven't seen it before."

"I thought it was the same as Marco."

Then, Shanks, who had finally stopped laughing, laughed even louder.

Andrea couldn't help raising her hand to her forehead—fortunately, she made up the story, otherwise Marco would feel so innocent!He is a phoenix and not a gift bird!Don't make claims just because someone can fly!

The red-haired pirates just passed by here to resupply, they won't stay for long, and they will leave soon. They stayed for two more days because they met Andrea.

However, when leaving, Shanks once again issued an invitation: "Leah, are you really not joining? It's okay to bring Ace and Sabo together."

Andrea firmly refused as usual: "No, I said I won't become a pirate."

For such an answer, Shanks was not surprised, and said goodbye with a little regret.

This is just a corner of the East China Sea, and it is impossible for the red-haired pirates to stay here all the time.The group left very quickly - pirates who are adventurous in the sea will not be dragging their feet when parting.

Although some people expressed regret.

"Ah... isn't Miss Leah together?"

"Sure enough, it's because the boss is making people angry?"

"I think Miss Liya prefers to be alone..."

"So Ace is..."

All the whispered words of a group of people got into Shanks' ears, but he didn't respond.

On the contrary, Beckman let the group of pirates who were too energetic and extended to gossip go away, then stood beside Shanks, glanced at the red-haired youth who was still looking towards the coast, and asked hesitantly: "Boss, our trip this time didn't pass through the East China Sea... Did you come here specifically to find someone?"

"Huh?" Shanks turned his head, with a look of confusion on his face, "What do you mean?"

Beckman: "...No, it's okay." Anyway, no matter if he is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, he can't ask.

And at this moment, Andrea, who had already entered the small bar, ran out.

From this distance, she couldn't see the expression on the other person's face clearly, especially under the sea breeze, her black hair was scattered and covered most of her face.

After the black-haired beauty stood still, she suddenly shouted towards this side: "When we meet again next time—don't allow any new injuries on your face—!"

Although she didn't call out her name, the direction was obvious.

Shanks was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and then he laughed and replied loudly: "Okay——"

Andrea watched her friend go away, feeling a little melancholy in her heart.

She didn't know whether this was caused by the reunion of friends whom she hadn't seen for many years, or after staying here comfortably for two years, she also wanted to go out to sea.

This is not a surprise, because Andrea is not the kind of person who likes unchanging comfort in her bones—after all, she is a little knight who fought with her teacher when she was very young.

She watched the ship of the red-haired pirates go away, and returned to the small bar until she could no longer see it—she just learned from Makino that Shanks had given her a lot of good wine to keep, and she did not let the other party advance Tell her it's a surprise for her.

It was also because of this reason that she originally wanted to thank her when she rushed out, but when she got to the point of her mouth, she felt that thanking her was too much, so she said that.

Because there was quite a lot of wine left, Andrea didn't take all of it back, but brought some of it, and then simply put the rest at Makino's side, and she would drink it directly here next time she came.

And this wave can’t bring them all back. Considering that Sabo and Ace are still two children who are easy to be careless, she simply left the two children with Makino for half a day, and went to the town to see if there is any suitable means of transportation. Pull the wine away—her strength is enough, but she still needs to hold it firmly.

And when she finally found a suitable car and came back, she found that the bar was noisy, accompanied by the noise of children.

"Ace! Ace! Together! Together!"

"Wow - Ace, you're hooked!"

"Go away! We don't want to play with brats!"

...Aren't you still a kid yourself! ——Andrea strode in, frowned and said, "Ace, how did I teach you?"

Seeing her coming, Ace called out to Leah's mother, and immediately ran to her with Sabo and hid behind her, and then said loudly: "I'm sorry! But we won't play with little brats!"

Andrea: "..."

...Forget it, Ace has already worked very hard.

Andrea reached out and patted the heads of the two children who were hiding on the left and the right, and looked at the child in front of them that they couldn't hide from—it seemed to be about two years old, and he just knew how to run.Still stumbling, with a big smile on his face and bright eyes.

Seeing that the other party was about to fall when he ran over, Andrea bent down to give him a hand.

The little black-haired boy held her hand and stood still.

On the other end, Ace was still complaining there: "Mom, this little brat came out of nowhere and has been pestering me!"

The little black-haired boy didn't realize that he was disgusted, he was still clapping his hands, imitating Ace's pronunciation and shouting at Andrea: "Mom!"
