【It’s all because of Nekomamushi. If that guy hadn’t angered me, I wouldn’t have said the wrong thing. They both are Cat Mink, why is there such a big difference?】
One is like a round ball and has a cat’s tongue that’s very sensitive to heat, but he has a hot-headed personality and often ends up arguing with her.
The other is handsome, powerful, and takes care of her in every aspect. Under such comparison, Nekomamushi’s reputation took a nosedive in Setsuna’s eyes.
She doesn’t remember much about what happened before the age of two, but from three to five, she mostly played with Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, and when she was five years old, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi secretly left Zou Island.
She also left Zou Island at the age of seven and had the misfortune of being captured, only to be rescued by Shayna along the way. Up until today, she has been living with the Beasts Pirates for almost five years.
Calculating it carefully, she has actually spent more time with Zeraora.
【He should learn from Inuarashi. Seriously, neither Hitsugisukan nor Dad ever spoke to me like that. Who does he think he is?】 As she wrote this, she couldn’t help but think of Zou Island, and then she realized that she had forgotten something crucial.
She went to find Inuarashi and Nekomamushi partly because she wanted to meet her acquaintances, but also because she wanted to ask them for a piece of Vivre Card.
The size of the Vivre Card doesn’t affect its usability. As long as she has a small piece, it’s enough to guide her to Zou Island. However, Nekomamushi’s provocation made her forget about her original purpose.
【It’s all because of that ba*tard Nekomamushi!!!】
At the end of the diary, she drew a rough sketch of Nekomamushi and crossed it out, seemingly venting the anger in her heart in this way.
Then she turned off the lights and lay down on the bed, with the blanket covering her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
In Wano Country, there is indeed no electricity, but for Queen, it is a simple task to build a generator and lay a few electric lines. However, the generator in the farm is somewhat special. Besides solar energy, it can also use human power to generate energy.
The generator was in Zeraora’s room. His daily training involves cycling to train his stamina, while also connecting the generator’s wire to himself to charge up.
Charging himself up from time to time has its benefits for him.
Meanwhile, in Oden Castle not far away, Denjiro had also returned to Kuri. During the day, he runs around Wano Country, basically doing three things: borrowing money, repaying debts, and earning money.
Their savings have been drained by Kin’emon’s situation. They now rely on Shimotsuki Yasuie’s support for their basic livelihood, but they can’t not repay that money.
Paying back debts is only right and proper. They owe Shimotsuki Yasuie too much already, and among them, Denjiro is the most adept at handling these matters, so these tasks have been entrusted to him.
Furthermore, after losing Paradise Farm, it was him who took on the responsibility of arranging the basic needs of the people in Oden Castle.
He was also happy that Inuarashi and Nekomamushi have returned, and he is even happier that his lord has a wife and children. However, amidst the excitement, he also realized the reality that there are now five more mouths to feed at home.
Setting the children aside, both Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were big eaters.
Now that he thinks about it, Ashura Doji’s Mt. Atama Thieves’ place seems like a good place to go. At least within the mountain, they can be self-sufficient and not lack food and drinks.
As he looked at Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, Denjiro suddenly had some strange thoughts.
At the same time, they also learned why Kin’emon didn’t go to meet Oden as he had suffered a series of torments. Even someone as strong as Kin’emon hadn’t recovered fully, and has only recently shown some improvement.
“Did the Beasts Pirates do all this?”
“Yes, but not entirely. Kin’emon was too impulsive last time and clashed with the Beasts Pirates for the sake of his former subordinates, resulting in…”
With the conversation reaching this point, the answer became quite clear.
“Do you have any conflicts with Setsuna?”
“Setsuna?”
“That’s the Mink from earlier today. She used to be our friend, and we grew up together on Zou Island. I didn’t expect to see her here.”
Compared to Nekomamushi, Inuarashi is more calm and rational. He is more concerned about Setsuna and their relationship. If there is any animosity between them, it would be difficult for them in between.
After all, there will inevitably be a choice to make. Based on his understanding of Setsuna, she is not someone who easily changes her mind.
“There doesn’t seem to be a direct conflict, and the residents of Kuri also have a favorable opinion of her.”
“Kawamatsu, she’s with the Beasts Pirates!”
“I am simply stating the truth. Although she is a member of the Beasts Pirates, the residents of the farm say that she is easy to get along with, and the children are not afraid of her.”
“But she is still a pirate, and she has connections with Kurozumi Orochi. Let’s not forget that those people were brought into Wano Country by that guy, Kurozumi Orochi.”
Speaking of Kurozumi Orochi, Kanjuro even showed a look of deep resentment. Being able to immerse oneself in a role to such an extent is a testament to his exceptional skills as a spy.
Listening to the comments of his companions, Nekomamushi seems to have some different thoughts.
Meanwhile, on Onigashima, something strange was happening.
Yamato is already over two years old. Most normal children can speak fluently by that age, let alone the people here. Yamato was certainly not lacking in physical development.
Miltank’s milk and Chansey’s eggs are highly nutritious foods, and she has also inherited Kaido’s bloodline. Now, Jack, who has Fish-Man’s bloodline, might not even compare to her.
However, today she used a term that Arceus couldn’t accept when addressing him.
“Hey, Yamato, tell me, who told you to call me ‘Mom’?”
Yamato’s remaining good days were actually limited because, according to Kaido’s plans, in less than a year, she will undergo training from Kaido. And during this time, someone will teach her some literacy skills and similar subjects.
Shayna, Nightin, and Olga have enough knowledge to teach a two-year-old.
But the problem is, for some reason, Yamato no longer calls him “godfather” or “adoptive father.” Instead, she began to use “Mom.”
“Kaido is dad.”
“That’s right, and then?”
“Dad and adoptive father have a good relationship, and the teacher said that pronunciations like ‘でもね’ are used by girls, so adoptive father is a girl. And a woman who has a close relationship with my dad, isn’t that mom?”
“Listen, Yamato, it’s good that you are so smart, but please don’t use it in this context next time. Remember, I am not your mother, nor am I a woman.”
He now knows where the problem lies. His language was self-taught through watching anime, which resulted in many details being unclear.
Coupled with the types of anime he watched back then, it led to a consequence where many of his habitual phrases have pronunciations typically used by women.
Kaido doesn’t pay attention to these details, and even if Shayna and the others noticed, they won’t dare to ask about it, which is what led to today’s misunderstanding.
