"Why is there another kid?

Kapp, you bastard, this isn't a kindergarten!

Don't send a kid to me every time you pick one up! "

Stay Up All Night's angry voice came from inside the house. I stood awkwardly at the door with my suitcase, unsure whether I should go in or not.

Damn it, there are so many people, and the biggest one is so angry … I'm so nervous.

Kapp's response was to pick his nose. "Anyway, I'll leave the kid with you for now. It's not convenient to bring a kid with me on a Navy mission, so I'll take her with me when I get back."

"'In short' my ass! You 'in short'!

I told you not to leave the kid with me!

If it's not convenient for you to bring her, it's not convenient for us either!

We're bandits, not babysitters!

Ace and Luffy are enough!! "

Kapp laughed in the face of Stay Up All Night's anger. He grabbed Stay Up All Night's neck and spoke with a smile even more vicious than a bandit's.

"So you know you're a bandit.

Who's the one who's always turned a blind eye to your crimes?

Take care of the kid or go to jail, pick one. "

"... Sometimes, I really think I'd rather go to jail."

Stay Up All Night's shoulders slumped, and his entire body sagged. "Fine, fine, I know. Anyway, it's just another freakish kid that's giving me a headache, right?"

"Hahahahaha!

You guessed wrong this time, it's a very polite kid. "

Kapp laughed and patted Stay Up All Night's back. He then turned around and waved at me. "Come in, you'll stay here for the time being. I'll come pick you up when I'm done with my mission."

A subtle smile appeared on the AI's QB face, and it used its large tail to whip my leg.

"Go in, I want you to introduce yourself."

My … My legs went weak.

Didn't I forget to mention one thing?

That … actually … I have mild social phobia …

Facing a room full of people, all of whom were bigger than me and looking at me with an unfriendly expression … It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I instantly felt my legs cramping up.

At this time, I was glad that I had brought two big bags. One was on my back, and the other was in front of my chest. The heavy bags gave me a sense of security.

"I … My name is Gloria, please take care of me during this period!"

I pinched my wrist and forced myself to speak louder.

Don't show your fear, don't show your fear, don't show your fear!

Hardly anyone in this room can beat you, so there's nothing to be afraid of--so stop trembling!

"You're so weird. Why are you shaking your legs?"

I lowered my head and saw Luffy squatting next to me with a confused expression. He even extended his hand to poke my trembling leg.

"If you're trembling after entering a bandit's lair, then you should hurry back to your parents and eat candy."

A mocking voice came from above. I looked up and saw a black-haired, freckled boy sitting on the beam with his legs crossed. The left side of his face was filled with contempt, while the right side of his face was filled with arrogance.

I knew who he was. Luffy's older brother, the future captain of the second division of The Whitebeard Pirates, "Fire Fist" Ace.

Although I knew that Portcas D. Ace was an annoying little bastard when he was young, seeing it with my own eyes and being mocked by him … It felt completely different.

My legs suddenly stopped trembling.

"Mr. Kapp." I looked at Kapp, "May I hit the two of them?"

Stay Up All Night mocked, "You actually said 'may I ask' at a time like this … Kapp, isn't the girl you brought over a little too polite?"

Kapp laughed heartily, "Of course, no problem. Hit them harder!"

Ace sneered, "What are you saying when you're trembling all over?

Hit me and Luffy?

You? "

Luffy looked surprised, "What, what?

You want to hit them?

Okay! "

I tried my best to ignore the two rascals and gave Kapp a vein-popping smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Kapp. I'm relieved now."

It just so happens that I recently drew a very good four-star card from the card pool that is very suitable for close combat. I already can't wait to try it out.

"Then, I'm going."

With a sinister smile, I switched to the four-star (SR) hero spirit card that won my heart in terms of class, character, and damage — Ruler Matilda.

"— — What?" ← This is Ace with a guarded expression.

"Eh?

You suddenly changed your clothes?

That's amazing! "← This is Luffy with stars in his eyes.

I looked at the two of them and threw a punch without hesitation!

"I forgot to tell you before."

Because Ace pulled Luffy away in time, my punch didn't hit anyone. Instead, it hit the floor. With a loud bang, I looked up from the center of the collapse and smiled viciously at the two of them.

"I'm so angry that I'm trembling!"

Let's see!

This is the iron fist of the Saintess who killed a dragon with her bare hands!

… … …

Fifteen minutes later, I clapped my hands and stood up. I didn't look at the two brats I had knocked to the ground.

I already said that I couldn't beat Akainu, Zepfa, and Kapp, but how could I lose to two brats?

Otherwise, how could I be worthy of the blood and tears I had shed for them in the past six months?

QB stood not far away and smiled while clapping his two little paws as if he was clapping for me.

"Congratulations … But do you still remember?

Did we come here to beat up a little brat? "

As I stiffened, the White Devil chuckled and told me our original purpose.

"We are here to woo your love interest."

… Oh no, I forgot all about it.

Question: What if you beat your target to the ground as soon as you come up?

A: Please rest in peace.

I crouched on the ground with my head in my hands. My entire body was ashen.

However, Luffy was indeed Luffy. He didn't take the usual path. While I was still thinking, "Oh no, oh no, what should I do? I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die," he got up from the ground and approached me with a bump on his head. His eyes were shining.

"The one just now!

How did that guy do it?

When you sent me and Ace flying, I thought I saw you throw out a dragon!

That was amazing!

How did he do it?! "

"Hey, Luffy!"

Ace also jumped up like a carp, looking flustered and exasperated. "I wasn't sent flying!"

… Isn't your recovery speed too fast?

That was the dragon-slaying saintess' Iron Fist Holy Judgement!

I opened my mouth wide and it took me a while to find my tongue.

"That … is a noble artifact."

"Noble artifact?" Luffy's face was full of question marks.

Many F○ TE players would face a problem: How do you explain some of the Moon world's terms to newbies who don't play games or watch anime?

… I'd rather explain what an adverbial postposition sentence is to an elementary school student.

"You probably won't understand even if I explain it in detail …" I trusted Luffy's brain. "To put it simply, this heroic spirit … cough, this is an ultimate skill that can only be used when he's dressed up. Some are group attacks, some are single target attacks … Ugh, in other words, some can sweep a group, some can hit a single target … Do you understand what I'm saying … Hey, are you still listening?"

Luffy picked his nose, his face saying, "Too long, I'm not listening."

"Anyway, it's a very powerful ability, right?!"

"… Yes."

I silently swallowed a mouthful of blood.

"Don't care about that!" Luffy jumped in front of me. "That was so cool when he threw out the dragon!

Do it again!

Do it again! "

"Luffy!" Ace looked at him disapprovingly. "What's there to look at?

Let's go back! "

If you don't want to look, then don't peek behind me!

There's no dragon behind me, even if you look a hundred times!

I facepalmed and was about to nod in agreement with Luffy when I heard a cold voice behind me.

"Our house … Our floor … Our furniture …"

I felt a chill on my back and turned around stiffly. Stay Up All Night's cold eyes met mine.

"S-S-Sorry!

I'll pack it up! "

I ran out of the door without even taking my luggage. I grabbed Ace with one hand and Luffy with the other and ran into the vast forest.

"Bastard, let go!

Why are you grabbing Luffy and me! "

← This was Ace who couldn't break free in anger (Are you kidding me? Iron Fist Saintess Matilda's strength is B +, it's impossible for Ace to break free at this age).

"Oh, that's amazing!

I'm flying! "

← This was Luffy who was extremely excited (He didn't actually fly, he just used his height to lift his feet off the ground).

"I don't know what kind of tree is suitable for building a house or a floor, of course I have to ask you." ← This was answering Ace.

"Didn't you want to see a dragon?

If you find a tree suitable for building a house, I'll let you see it again. "← This was coaxing Luffy.

"Who's going to tell you!" Ace still didn't have a good tone.

I was silent for a moment and asked the AI softly, "What should I do?"

The AI wagged its tail that resembled the QB's and said leisurely, "Ask for a few more times."

"Will it work?"

"Would I lie to you?"

… Yes, you've never lied to me, you only like to hide key information and trick me!

Although I didn't really believe its words, I couldn't think of a better idea.

I pursed my lips and lowered my head decisively to Ace.

"Please."

"…"

Portcas D. Ace obviously couldn't catch his breath.

Blushing, I repeated the sentence again as the AI laughed, almost choking on its last breath.

"Please."

"Who, who would agree to it!"

"Please."

"Don't you have any sense of shame?!"

"Please."

"I said I won't tell you, so I won't tell you. Don't you understand human language?!"

"Please."

"… That one!" Ace pointed at a big fir tree in exasperation, "Hurry up and scram after you're done chopping it!"

"Thank you, you're such a good person!"

I said mischievously. I was satisfied to see Ace's face turn green.

Luffy didn't notice the back and forth between Ace and I. He grabbed my arm and his eyes were shining.

"Can you see it now?

That dragon!

Can you see it now?! "

"Yes, yes, yes …"

I sighed.

It seemed that I didn't have time to slowly accumulate NPs.

I raised my hand and used the command spell.

For World of Legends/GO players, there's a nightmare that everyone is familiar with, and that's accumulating NPs.

NPs are the mana bar. To use a noble artifact (ultimate skill), you need to accumulate 100 NPs. If you don't have the Wanhua Mirror Set with 80% NP, the Imaginary Space with 60% NP (or at least the Dragon Vein with 50% NP), Zhuge Kongming (Ermero the Second) with 50% NP, or Merlin with 20% NP … then this game is no different from hell to you.

But I don't have anything.

So, if I want to use a noble artifact quickly, there's only one choice left.

Use command spell to release noble artifact (+ 100 NP)

"Lord, please close your eyes for a moment …"

I chanted Ruler Matilda's noble artifact and activated her noble artifact — — Tatasque Sorrowful Dragon.

A huge dragon flew out of her hand and spun towards the big fir tree.

With a loud bang, the big fir tree that was 40 meters tall fell down, stirring up a cloud of dust.

At that moment, I understood how the Saintess Matilda felt.

Dad, mom, did you see that? Your daughter has officially left the human realm. _ (: з) ∠) _.

"Oh!

So cool!!! "

Luffy jumped up and flew towards the fir tree to look for the dragon.

He looked very disappointed because he couldn't find it.

Ace snorted and acted like he didn't care.

"There's nothing to see. Luffy, let's go."

I was speechless … Before you say that, don't look behind me. I don't have a dragon behind me.

But before that … I have another reason why I can't let them go.

"That … Can you do me a favor?"

I clasped my hands together and begged, "Can you help me move this tree back … I can't carry it alone. Please, please."

Ace looked at me in disdain, "Who wants to help you?

Luffy, let's go! "

This time, I didn't need the AI to remind me. I took the initiative to run in front of Ace and blinked my eyes, trying to look innocent and pitiful … Although I felt that a girl who broke a 40 meters tall fir tree with a single punch couldn't be linked to a pitiful girl … I still have to try, right?

"Please."

Ace's face turned black, "… Go away."

"Please."

Ace gritted his teeth, "Don't think that this trick will always work …"

"Please."

Ace trembled in anger, "Why are you so troublesome … I told you to get out of my way!

I'm not going to help you! "

"Please."

Ace: "…"

"It doesn't matter. Just help her, Ace!" Luffy put his hands behind his head and smiled, "She's interesting anyway!"

"Luffy, you …" The veins on Ace's forehead throbbed.

"Please." x2

Oh, you're asking why x2?

Because Luffy probably thought it was interesting. He looked at Ace with stars in his eyes and begged him to help.

Humans are essentially repeaters.

Ace: "… Enough!"

Anyway, Ace still helped me and Luffy carry the fir tree back to the bandit's lair that day.

He also taught me how to cut wood to make a floor and helped me build a small wooden house that could shelter me from the wind and rain.

"As expected, Ace, you're a good person."
