Chapter 515 Secret
"That's it!" Perona suddenly jumped out, "I've been curious for a long time, why does this guy seem to know everything!"
"According to etiquette, eavesdropping on others is impolite. Beep~ Misaka reminded."
Perona retorted, "I wasn't eavesdropping! We were on the deck, a public place, a public place! You two were talking so loudly, there was no way he could have heard it!"
"Why are you still yelling when you know we're in a public place? Beep~ Misaka was worried about her new companion's manners and sighed deeply. Sigh."
"You bastard!" Perona was so angry that she almost exploded, but her anger suddenly disappeared. "Even sighing is so perfunctory."
"As expected, you don't even know how to express the most basic emotions. How pitiful~ Woo... Woo..." Perona began to choke up as she spoke, and then burst into tears, "Wow~~~~"
"Hey..." It's good to be compassionate, but isn't this child too emotional? Zhang Da was also worried about how to comfort him.
However, after a few seconds, Perona stopped crying, pointed at her tear marks and said to Misaka: "See, when you are happy, you should laugh, when you are sad, you should cry, and it's okay to get angry! It's not okay to keep pouting!"
"The meaning is unclear. If you are emotionally unstable, please consult a psychiatrist. Beep~ Misaka offers sound advice."
"Huh? Who's emotionally unstable? I'm helping you! Damn it, I'm angry! I'm really angry!"
"We can talk about the psychiatrist later. The new boss hasn't answered Misaka's question yet. Beep~ Misaka tried to change the subject abruptly."
"You said it was awkward!" Perona was angry, but also curious. She took a deep breath and said, "Come on, tell me why."
Zhang Da also thought for a few seconds and said, "It's a secret."
Perona said dissatisfiedly: "Does it take so long to think about such a perfunctory answer?"
Zhang Da also said confidently: "Yes, because it's not good to lie to you, but I don't want to tell you the truth, and I don't want you to keep asking, so I can only say it's a secret."
Perona said, "But if you give such a perfunctory answer, Misaka will definitely continue asking questions!"
"Misaka won't ask any further. Beep~ Misaka denies Perona's irresponsible speculation."
"Eh? Why? Aren't you curious anymore?"
"A secret is something unknown to others, or something you don't want others to know. So once you know it's a secret, there's no reason to keep asking. Beep~ Misaka explained."
"..." Perona felt a little lost in her train of thought. 'A secret is something you don't want to tell others', that's true, but not wanting to tell doesn't mean others won't ask...something seems wrong.
"Haha, that's the truth. It's a pity that many people don't understand it, or they understand it when they are young, but not when they grow up." Zhang Da also smiled and shook his head, saying regretfully, "Perona, you have grown up. Misaka is much more polite than you."
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Why are you saying so many inexplicable things..." Perona felt isolated.
"Wow, there's a beautiful fish over there!" Vivi exclaimed, pointing at a brightly colored fish outside.
Misaka sister was immediately attracted to it.
…
"Brother Tatsuya, welcome back!" The boatman from the Sabaody Archipelago greeted Zhang Tatsuya and his group warmly. "I heard you guys went to Fishman Island again. I'm so envious!"
Zhang Da also said: "If you want to go, tell me, I can contact my friends on Fishman Island to pick you up."
"Ah, well..." The boatmen avoided the question. No matter how beautiful the legendary mermaids were, it was difficult for them to overcome their fear of the deep sea.
"Huh? I don't think I've seen that little girl before. Brother Tatsuya, you didn't bring back a mermaid, did you?"
"Where? Where is the mermaid?"
"Don't look, there's no mermaid. That's just a girl we happened to rescue." Zhang Da also said, "We're going to do some shopping, so the boat will stop here temporarily. Please take care of her."
"No problem, leave it to us!"
Uncle Goodman is on vacation today, so Zhang Da had to ask other sailors to look after the Amber. However, that was just a talk, as the Flag Monster was the one who actually looked after it.
It is true that we went ashore to buy things. The most important thing is to buy the Perpetual Pointer of the Drum Kingdom, and secondly, we also want to buy some personal items for Misaka sister.
"The next island we are going to is Magnetic Drum Island, which is a winter island. It is winter all year round. If you don't have enough winter clothes or they are not thick enough, remember to buy a few." Zhang Da also gave some instructions and asked everyone to act separately.
Naturally, the girls accompanied Misaka to buy things. He was only responsible for giving each person a purchase fund, and then took Tom to find a store selling permanent pointers.
This unfortunate place, the Sabaody Archipelago, is now very safe. Apart from the pirates who have just arrived here, there are basically no criminals who are too active.
"Uncle Gragas, long time no see." Zhang Da also met an acquaintance on the way , the uncle who used to serve drinks to the tavern.
"It's you guys." Gragas stopped the driver. "Long time no see. I heard you guys joined the navy?"
"No, I just went to the Marine Headquarters to play for a while." Zhang Da also noticed the bandages on Gragas' body. "What's wrong with your injury? Was someone robbed you?"
"Haha, just a minor injury," Gragas said nonchalantly. "I went out to sea to visit an old friend a while ago, and ended up getting into a fight with a bunch of pirates along the way. I got hurt without even realizing it. Sigh, I'm getting old! Sorry for the embarrassment, bro."
Zhang Da also vaguely remembered that this uncle had mentioned that he was going to go out to sea last time. "Which pirate group? Please tell us in detail. We will help you avenge your anger when we meet you later."
"Hahaha... No need. I didn't suffer any harm, and the brat who did it wouldn't be feeling well either." Gragas seemed reluctant to talk about it. "By the way, where are you going?"
"Let's go buy a permanent pointer. We're going to the Drum Kingdom." Zhang Da also said, "Do you have any good wine with you that would be suitable as a gift?"
Zhang Da also remembered that Dr. Dolly loved to drink.
"You asked at the perfect time!" Gragas carried out a small box of six bottles of wine from the car. "It's strong liquor from the Kingdom of Prudence in the New World. Freshly acquired!"
"Wow, you can even get New World wine?" Zhang Da once again looked at this man with admiration. This uncle must be no ordinary person.
"Hey, you're lucky to get a little bit. You're also lucky to come across it. How about it, do you want it?"
"Of course." Zhang Da was also very generous with his money, because he had been eating and drinking at the navy's expense for about the past six months, and he still earned bounties.
Although some pirate ships did not ask for money due to guilty conscience, they still managed to save up a lot of funds unknowingly, and they could live quite comfortably for the next period of time.
