Chapter 23: Tatsuya, please become stronger as soon as possible
A master bedroom, two secondary bedrooms, a bathroom and a utility room. This is the layout of the second floor of the pub.
Zhang Daye lived with Tom in the master bedroom, and the second bedroom next to it was arranged for Altria.
It’s just a second bedroom, and the area is actually not much smaller, and she herself doesn’t seem to have any requirements in this regard.
Zhang Da only prepared a quilt and toiletries for her, and secretly complained that Wang didn't even bring her own quilt.
"I feel like you're thinking about something rude, Tatsuya."
"No way! Good night, Altria." Zhang Da also fled.
Altria blinked and began to make her bed.
When he returned to the room, Tom was rubbing his head in his own little nest, and finally found the most comfortable position and curled up.
"Good night Tom."
Tom waved in response.
"It's been a fulfilling day." Zhang Da also turned off the lights and closed his eyes.
…
The next morning, Tom came out of the pub, looked around, suddenly smiled, took out the newspaper from the mailbox at the door, picked up two bottles of milk at the door, and took them back to the pub.
The milk was ordered yesterday and someone will deliver it every morning.
To buy newspapers, you need to put enough coins in the mailbox every night. The next morning, the newspaper delivery gull will take the coins and put the corresponding number of newspapers according to the price, and even give change.
Tom put the newspaper and milk on the table and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
At this time, Zhang Daye and Altria came downstairs one after another and sat at the table.
Zhang Da also picked up the new issue of the newspaper, while Altria picked up an old newspaper - there were more than 300 copies, and there was enough to read even if you only looked at the headlines.
[Arlong, the leader of the Sun Pirates, was arrested, and the death of Fisher Tiger was revealed! ]
A few days ago, Arlong, a cadre of the Sun Pirates, attacked a warship and was captured by Vice Admiral Borsalino. After interrogation, it was revealed that Arlong's actions were a revenge operation to avenge Fisher Tiger.
According to Arlong, Fisher Tiger, the former captain of the Sun Pirates, was ambushed by the navy and severely injured. After escaping, he died of excessive blood loss because humans refused to give him a blood transfusion.
Fake news, Zhang Da also made a judgment, but it was not fake news, it could only be said that Aaron lied.
Fisher Tiger refused to use human blood on his own. He hated humans so much that he would rather die than accept human blood. However, he did not want his hatred for humans to spread to other fish-men because of him, so he asked the crew of the Sun Pirates to hide the truth.
Aaron obviously couldn't understand his actions, so he made up a reason that could arouse the anger of the fish people even more.
Discrimination and hatred are not problems that can be solved easily.
After this incident, Kizaru should be promoted to admiral. Capturing Arlong and bringing back the news of Fisher Tiger's death should be considered a great achievement for the Celestial Dragons and the World Government.
"Meow?" Tom came out with a plate, reminding the two people who were reading newspapers that it was time to eat.
Two slices of toast, with lettuce and ham in between, or with meat slices and tomatoes, evenly spread with ketchup or salad dressing. Simple ingredients are used to make different combinations and different flavors. Each one is cut into triangles and neatly placed on a plate that is bigger than Tom.
At the same time, Tom also placed three glasses, opened two bottles of milk, licked the bottle caps with enjoyment, and then poured the milk into the three glasses. He even took out a ruler seriously and wanted to measure it.
"Okay Tom, there's no need to be so careful. I'll just talk to the boss today and order one more." Zhang Da didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Tom then gave up and sat down on his own stool, and the three of them started eating together.
"It's delicious!" Zhang Da couldn't help but praise.
Altria nodded in agreement and ate her sandwich in two bites - talking would only slow down my eating speed.
Tom gladly accepted the compliment and enjoyed the fruits of his labor.
The task of washing dishes was finally taken over by Zhang Da. Although he hated washing dishes, if he didn't do something, he would suspect that he was Tom's pet.
But if you think about it carefully, what I do every day, eating, sleeping, and having fun (exercise), except that it is not cute enough, it seems that there is really no difference between me and a pet...
No, no, I'll just have to wait until the tavern opens. I'll be the one making money to support Tom and Altria. That's right, fight! Fight!
Tom held his finger in his mouth and always felt that there was a fire burning behind his master.
Altria thought thoughtfully, is washing dishes such an exciting thing?
…
"This is the dock, which is the... well, it should be called the pillar industry of the island below us. In this world, ships are really important. Over there is a residential area, mostly where the boatmen live. The vegetable market is also very close to here. Tom and I buy food here."
"As for clothing stores, they're just two blocks away. Actually, the clothing stores here are relatively small. The shopping street on Island 30 is more impressive, but I haven't been there... Well, even if you say you don't care about these things, I can't treat you badly... By the way, Tom, do you want a set of clothes?"
As they walked, Zhang Da pointed and introduced the nearby shops to Altria. Although she didn't care much about clothes, Zhang Da couldn't just ignore it.
We can't let Altria keep wearing that blue dress with long johns...
Tom and Zhang Daye walked side by side. Their walking posture was actually no different from that of humans. After hearing Zhang Daye's suggestion, he shook his head decisively. Clothes were too troublesome. Unless there was a pretty little female cat to flirt with, he didn't want to wear clothes at all.
In the past, he always let Tom stay on his shoulder because he was worried that others would mistake him for a fur tribe member and cause trouble. Now there is no need for that. With the responsibility of taking charge of the force, Zhang Da is somewhat arrogant.
Following Zhang Daye's instructions, Altria looked around and carefully observed the scene in the other world. At this time, she was holding a bubble the size of a basketball: "Although I have heard you explain the formation of these bubbles, I still find it incredible. There is no magical aura, and it is completely formed by nature..."
Zhang Da also smiled: "If you want to talk about magic, this place is pretty good. I know that there are sky islands floating ten thousand meters in the sky, fishman islands ten thousand meters under the sea, and Boeing Islands full of all kinds of natural delicacies... Actually, I also want to go and see it, but I'm so weak that I might die if I go."
The next second, Zhang Daye seemed to see the afterimage. Altria had already stopped in front of him, holding Zhang Daye's right hand and shaking it up and down. Her green eyes stared at him closely, and she said sincerely: "Datsuya, please become stronger as soon as possible. I will do my best to teach you!"
Zhang Daye: “Huh?”
Did I say something I shouldn't have?
