Novel Full Chapter 89
Happy Emotions
After Leda ordered a lot of things, she asked the waiter to serve a drink. After a while, Crowe came with Marine carrying a paper bag and put the paper bag with buns in front of Leda.
Leda took out the steaming bun from the paper bag and bit off half of it.
...“Oh… delicious!”
Leda’s eyes were shining and she buried her head in her food.
“Really?”
Kuro took out a bun from the paper bag and took a bite under Leda’s gaze that was like a mother tiger protecting her food.
“Well, it’s pretty good.”
The entrance was soft and the filling was big and fragrant.
Soon, the waiter served the food Leda ordered.
Kuro ordered a bottle of red wine and slowly poured it for himself. He took a sip and looked at the blue sky above and exhaled.
Comfort …
Such a carefree and safe life is the most comfortable.
While Kuro was enjoying this rare period of comfort, in the dark corner of the building opposite, a small gaze was looking at them, as if it had made up its mind.
Tap tap tap …
“Buy a bunch of flowers, kind Marine!”
A series of small footsteps sounded. Kuro was eating when he heard a young voice beside him. It sounded very weak.
He looked up and saw a little girl wearing a torn robe and a high hat with patches on it.
He looked no more than seven or eight years old.
But in terms of nutrition, Leda’s Lolita posture when maintaining stamina is much better than hers.
The little girl was holding a bouquet of wild flowers that had obviously been picked outside and had not been processed.
In this country, even little girls are beautiful because they are thin?
Obviously not.
Kuro glanced at her. “Chloe.”
Crowe, who was standing beside Kuro, pushed up his glasses and walked to the little girl. The little girl was obviously afraid and took a few steps back.
Crowe squatted down and squeezed a smile at the little girl. “Little girl, how much did you spend on these? I’ll buy them all.”
The little girl looked at the flowers and then at Leda, who was eating heartily. She swallowed her saliva. “I don’t want money. Can I eat… eat something?”
Crowe said in surprise, “Little girl, if you have money, you can buy a lot of food.”
With that, he took out a stack of Berries and handed it to the little girl. “Take it. You can buy a lot of food.”
“I don’t want money!”
The little girl took a few steps back and shook her head. “I just want to have a bite of rice…”
“What are you doing!”
At this moment, a few people in black cloaks on the street noticed this scene. The leader with a fierce face shouted at the little girl.
The little girl shuddered and abandoned the flowers. She ran into the alley.
“Don’t run!”
A few patrolmen chased after him, and the fierce-looking guy who was the leader ran to Kuro and smiled.
“It is too embarrassing to disturb the dining experience of Marine. I am Kesso, the patrol captain of the Kingdom of Morgati. Marine, as an apology, your meal is on me.”
“Really? Thank you so much.”
Kuro looked at Leda, who was busy eating, and saved some money.
“It’s just a little girl, what’s wrong with selling some flowers and not allowing her to sell things?” Kuro asked.
Kaiser smiled. “The king has a rule that no one is allowed to buy or sell except for the person who has the concession.”
“Oh? What about work?”
“Except for the chartered people, they are also unable to work. Of course, Marine, don’t worry, the King has a policy that all civilians can receive food, so there is no need to worry about their lives.”
There was a hint of reverence in Kesso’s smile. “These are the rules set by Prince Fun. The rules of His Highness, the people must follow them.”
Leda finished sweeping the food and licked her fingers and asked, “What if people don’t have enough to eat?”
“There is no such thing as not having enough to eat. Look at the people around here, no one is unhappy.”
Kaiser pointed at the people walking around. Everyone had a happy smile on their faces. That kind of smile could not be faked.
Including himself, he was also very happy.
“Okay, you can leave, I understand.”
Kuro waved his hand and said.
Kaiser bowed and smiled. “Marine Lords, I hope you have a good time in Morgati.”
Waiting for the fierce-looking man to leave, Leda muttered, “How can I be happy if I don’t eat enough? I think that little girl is unhappy.”
Kuro knocked her head and said angrily, “How they treat their own people is their internal affairs. Why do you care about this? The World Government can’t even interfere with the internal affairs of their kingdom.”
Even so, Kuro still narrowed his eyes with a trace of red light in them.
Observation Haki, open.
Kenbonshoku (Observation) is very useful. It can predict danger, perceive the enemy, and perceive emotions.
It was undeniable that what Kaiser said was true.
Kuro swept his eyes over the robed citizens, and the emotion he sensed was happiness.
On this street, not a single citizen expressed any other emotions. They were all happy.
As Kenbonshoku (Observation) expanded and gradually spread to the island, Kuro frowned.
On the entire island, except for the tourists, no one has unhappy emotions, except… the little girl who sold flowers before.
Her emotions were very different.
Grief, hunger, anger … and despair.
How could a little girl have so many emotions?
“My own sorrow, or…”
Kuro lit a cigar, his expression hazy in the smoke.
There was something unusual about this island.
There were too many happy people.
Kuro could not sense any other emotions except happiness.
Only happiness.
Just like the Ideal Hometown…
“Finished, Kuro, let’s go play!”
Leda’s voice pulled Kuro’s thoughts back. He nodded and stood up, ready to go.
However, at this time, a dark-skinned mustachioed middle-aged man with a vertical mark on his forehead suddenly came over, bowed to them, and said with a smile: “Marine Lord, Guian, I am the tour guide of Fun Island, Siva, please allow me to show you the beautiful Morgati.”
“Guide? We don’t need it.”
Crowe stepped forward and said, “We can shop by ourselves.”
“That won’t do.”
Siva shook his head and smiled. He pointed at the tourists on the street and said, “Tourists who come to Morgati must be equipped with a tour guide. This is the tradition of our kingdom and it is also to let tourists better appreciate the scenery and joy of Morgati. Please don’t refuse.”
“Tourists who are not equipped with a tour guide are not welcome in Morgati. Of course, we tour guides are obligated and are not charged.”
Kuro glanced at him and nodded. “Okay, you lead the way.”
“Thank you very much for your tolerance and understanding.” Siva pressed his palm on his chest and bowed.
“Then, please let me introduce you. This is the commercial street of Morgati, where you can buy toys that are unique to Morgati. For example, our most revered Play Prince doll.”
Siva pointed to several doll shops, except for a few different dolls scattered here and there. In those shops, there were dolls of the same person.
It was a young man in a noble gown with a mask over his eyes.
Dolls, photos, signatures, all of them looked like him.
