Behind the Scenes: From Pirates to Tokyo

Chapter 6 Forced by life, stealing tribute
"..."

Looking at the battery on the ground, and then looking at Mina Akizuki who was sweating not far away, Toru Mizushima sighed in his heart.

After bending down and placing the battery on the only way for Akizuki Mina, Mizushima Toru moved aside.

At Akizuki's house, he just wants to be an invisible person with no sense of existence, so that Akizuki Mina can't disturb him, and he can't bother Akizuki Mina. This kind of relationship is the best for people.

"Ah! Here!!"

After finding the last battery on the ground, Akizuki Mina let out a cry of surprise.

She quickly assembled the remote control, and then happily sat in front of the TV.

Although she couldn't see what was being performed on the screen, she was very satisfied just listening to the voice and understanding what was happening outside.

Putting his mind down, Toru Mizushima walked behind Akizuki Mina silently, and watched TV with her.

He wanted to find something else to do, but now the system is not ready for the next trip, so he can only watch TV with the girl.

【Father, you don't want others to know that mom is our daughter, do you? 】

Mizushima Toru was shocked by the animation content shown on the TV.

Are the lines in this anime serious?Even fantasy novelists dare not adopt this setting easily, right?
And look at the name, "Ito's Lightning", shouldn't this be a passionate anime?What's the matter with this ghost line?

Mizushima Toru already knew from his memory that this place is not so much the earth, but a 'different world'.

But the "different" aspect is only the cultural and entertainment industry, like other political, historical, and economic development processes are exactly the same as the earth.

The popular "One Piece", "Marvel" and other entertainment industries on the original earth can't see any of them. If you don't get wronged and sent to prison at the beginning of your time travel, it's not bad to be a copycat honestly.

Unlike Toru Mizushima, who was deeply shocked, Mina Akizuki enjoyed 'watching' and giggled from time to time.

So you are such a girl?
Mizushima Toru squinted at Akizuki Mina.

Looking at it from such a close distance, Toru Mizushima found that Akizuki Mina was even more beautiful than he had seen at first glance. After careful study, it was Akizuki Mina's thick bangs that did not take care of her that covered her due appearance. When observed closely, the delicacy of her facial features and face shape is fully revealed.

And unlike Japanese women who don't go out without makeup, there is no trace of cosmetics on Akizuki Mina's face.

It's a pity that Qiuyue Mina herself couldn't appreciate such a beautiful face.

The afternoon sun slanted in from the window, the girl's face glowed slightly, and the person's body was warm and sleepy.

Although she had just experienced such a terrible thing as being taken away by her own brother for the subsidy, it didn't seem to affect Qiuyue Mina's good mood. She watched the TV and let out a soft laugh.

Infected by Akizuki Mina's good mood, Mizushima Toru's nerves that had been tense all the time relaxed slightly.

If there is a choice, such a life is also very good.

"Ah, it's time to make dinner."

After listening to TV for a while, Akizuki Mina stretched her waist and walked towards the kitchen.

He still tapped the ground with his white cane from time to time, and slapped the wall with his hands, while Toru Mizushima followed slowly behind her. He was still a little curious about how the blind girl would cook a dinner.

On the street outside, there was continuous sound of police cars, but Qiuyue's house seemed extraordinarily quiet.

Akizuki Mina took out a box of bean sprouts from the refrigerator.

"Oil, soy sauce, salt..."

Putting the bean sprouts on the chopping board, Akizuki Mina's fingers brushed the cooking seasonings on the kitchen shelf,
Seeing her gesture of touching the seasoning with her tender fingertips, Mizushima Toru was really worried that her hand would accidentally brush the kitchen knife and cut a hole.

But what Toru Mizushima was worried about didn't happen. Akizuki Mina obviously knew the layout of the kitchen like the back of his hand. She turned on the gas and started cooking skillfully. Whether it was stir-frying or adding seasonings, she was orderly. Her cooking skills were better than Toru Mizushima's Much stronger.

When the fire was finally turned off and put on a plate, Mizushima was moved by the aroma of the plain fried bean sprouts.

But it could only be a big movement of his index finger, and he couldn't snatch the stir-fry from the girl.

Bringing the bean sprouts to the small dining table, Akizuki Mina took out a small bowl of rice that had been cold for a long time from the rice pot—this rice looked like it was made in the morning.

"..."

Out of sight and out of mind, and not wanting to torture his hungry stomach, Toru Mizushima went to another room and opened the system panel.

[Your travelers have regained their morale and are ready to go. 】

[Currently selectable world: Pirate World]

The agreed-upon trip to Ten Thousand Worlds turned out to be only One Piece World. After complaining a little in his heart, Toru Mizushima chose to start.

【Travel in progress...】

The system interface has become a reading bar, and it seems that there is no way to find useful skills for a while.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

Moreover, the sound of Akizuki Mina's footsteps interrupted Toru Mizushima's thoughts. She took the finished dinner and went to the sink to clean the dishes.

Looking at her skillful movements, it is really hard to imagine that she is a blind girl.

The night was already extremely dark, and Toru Mizushima could only see the furnishings in the room through the little moonlight shining in from the window, but Mina Akizuki's activities were still as usual, after all, she had lived in a void deeper than this for many years.

"Whoa."

After cleaning the plates and putting them in the cabinet neatly, Mina Akizuki filled another serving of rice and bean sprouts and walked out of the kitchen.

Where is this going?
Is it going to feed the stray cats and dogs outside the house?

Looking in the direction of Mina Akizuki, Toru Mizushima saw the shrine placed in the corner.

On the shrine are the portraits of the husband and wife and the tablet with the name of the law-the Japanese are basically buried in the temple after death, and the monks in the temple will give the deceased a nice name, even if... Some people have never stepped into a temple several times in their life.

Anyway, it’s not shabby to do business, the Japanese monks wish that everyone can die back and forth ten times, so that they can charge the funeral expenses ten times.

"Clap clap."

Putting the prepared dinner in front of the portrait of her parents, Akizuki Mina clasped her hands together and bowed.

From Mizushima Toru's point of view, Akizuki Mina worshiped in a slightly crooked direction, and worshiped in front of the stairs beside her.

"Dad, Mom, I hope you can bless Brother Huang and me."

Mizushima, who was watching from the side, couldn't help complaining in his heart, it's not good to worship with such a utilitarian heart, girl.

Oh, it turns out that the other party is your parents, that's okay, they should bless you.

But speaking of your elder brother, who looks like a scum at first glance, there is no need to bless him.

Obviously she couldn't see anything, and Mizushima Toru didn't know how the blind girl distinguished between dinner and sleep time. After worshiping her parents, she went to the bathroom to wash up, and finally came out in her pajamas, looking like she was going to sleep .

"So Suo."

Akizuki Mina, who got into the bed, looked like a small animal, curled up in a petite ball.

After a while, Toru Mizushima could hear Mina Akizuki's subtle and even breathing, obviously she had fallen into a deep sleep.

What is the dream of a blind man?

If she has seen the world before, there should still be memories of the world in the dream. If she has never seen colorful, how should she outline the dream?

Mizushima Toru couldn't figure out this question, he was only thinking about one question now... Should he steal the tribute?

He was really hungry, and it happened that there was food on the altar...
