Esdeath blinked, reached out and took it, and then Cirno pulled her along to search for other frogs, freezing them.
"Now you believe me, right?" Mokou took out a cigarette and lit it.
"...Even if she can be resurrected, there must be a price to pay, right?" Bai Ye looked at Cirno, who was having a lot of fun, with a strange expression. "It seems like she has no memory of what happened before."
"Who knows? No one can understand the personalities of fairies except themselves."
Looking around, Bai Ye suddenly spotted something suspicious in the bushes...
Name: Frozen Frog
Type: Frozen Meat
"Attribute: None"
Quality: Average
"Note: Huh? Frogs are food? Are you a devil? You could just pay someone to kiss you and you could kidnap a prince and demand ransom from his father, wouldn't you?!"
I think the devil is the one who wrote that nickname!
"Hey, you human over there, hand over that frog you're holding!" Cirno shouted, waving her hand as the sunlight reflected off the frozen frog dazzled her eyes.
……
The original purpose of this trip was to watch [White-haired brat bullying strong-willed older sister.avi], but it turned out to be full of unexpected plot twists...
This was my thought after walking around with Mokou and holding hands for a while, and then returning to the frozen frog duo by the lake.
At that moment, the blue-haired fairy named Cirno was standing triumphantly with her hands on her hips on a rock, while Esdeath was calling Cirno "teacher" with a stern face.
So, the basket of frozen frogs she was carrying was an offering from the apprentice to the teacher?
"I said... are you serious about becoming her apprentice?" Mokou looked at Esdeath with a conflicted expression.
What can this idiot teach you? How to freeze a frog into an ice cube and then hide it in a corner to hit passersby on the head?
Cirno's childlike appearance and mischievous nature make this seem natural, as fairies are known for their pranks. But for a woman who looks more mature than herself to do this...
Imagining it, Mokou's face showed an expression of unbearable dismay.
“What does it matter? My teacher is very strong.” Esdeath smiled like a Yamato Nadeshiko: “I feel like I can learn a lot from her…”
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" She uttered seven "wait"s in a row, forcing Esdeath to stop her explanation. Mokou took a deep breath and tried to appear as normal as possible.
"I'll ask Cirno a few questions first. If you still think that way after I've asked them, then pretend I didn't say anything."
Esdeath tilted her head: "Okay."
"Phew~ Cirno, what's one plus one?"
Bai Ye, Xiao Yifang, and Esdeath's lips all twitched slightly.
Are you serious about asking this kind of question?!
Wait a minute, it's one thing for Mokou to ask the question so seriously, but why is Cirno also counting on her fingers so seriously? Is this a question that requires a calculator?
"I've got it! Daijou once told me that one plus one equals two!" Cirno said proudly.
pride?
A bad feeling welled up in Esdeath's heart.
What is two plus two?
"Four!"
What about four plus four?
"Hmm..." After counting on her fingers for a while, Cirno suddenly answered decisively, "Equals 9?"
What about adding 9 to 9?
"Of course it equals 9, Mokou, you big idiot!"
puff--
Xiao Yi smiled.
Chapter 034 The Admiral Quickly Corrupted
On the way back to the Dimensional Shop, Esdeath, who had already accepted that she had become the apprentice of an idiot, remained silent.
Although Cirno was just an idiot, Esdeath did not deny the existence of this teacher because of it. This behavior made Byakuya and the others think more highly of her.
To put it in a slightly arrogant way, this woman, though still as bad as ever, is surprisingly not as annoying.
Considering her attitude and relatively good performance, the old man decided to let her off this time (serious face).
After what happened with Cirno, Esdeath felt it was pointless to stay in the shop and endure the strange looks from the other party. Besides, she couldn't beat that white-haired brat, so she took a few frozen frogs that Cirno had given her, exchanged them for a room key, and left.
As for White Night...
He suddenly realized that whenever he left the store, he would always run into a customer when he returned.
"System, is there no pattern to how these portals transport guests?"
"With the host keeping the shop open, the higher the level of the portal, the greater the likelihood of attracting customers."
"...Open the door?"
No wonder I locked myself in the game for the first few days after arriving in Gensokyo, and couldn't find a single guest through the portal! That's why!
"Xiao Zhen, you don't need to stay and run the shop anymore. We can just close it when we go out."
"Really?" Black Jeanne looked at Byakuya in surprise.
"Really." Bai Ye nodded, looking at the customer who had come during his absence—a middle-aged, overweight man with a long beard braided into pigtails and wearing a cloak of justice. "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Are you the store manager here?"
"Hmmmm~"
"What I just heard from this proprietress is that you sell everything here, including life..." The fat man paused, seemingly struggling to understand how life could be traded. "Is all of this real?"
"Theoretically, that's true, but since our store has only been open for a short time, so... you know what I mean?"
"I understand." The fat man nodded knowingly. "Then, shop manager, how much life force can this be exchanged for?"
Bai Ye glanced down at what the other person had taken out... a banana?
Name: Zoan-type Devil Fruit - Dog-Dog Fruit - Husky Form
Type: Fruit
"Attribute: None"
Quality: Excellent
Note: You might not believe it, but your family started it!
Devil Fruit, so is this fat guy really the one I'm thinking of?
The existence of the two-dimensional world suddenly became three-dimensional, and I almost didn't recognize it.
"A Zoan-type Devil Fruit, it's just average, and it seems to affect one's personality after eating it..." After showing the fat man the information about the fruit, Bai Ye gave a relatively "reasonable" price: "If you intend to sell it, I can give you 10,000 Origin Points, which is enough to sustain an ordinary person for 10,000 days. By the way... may I ask your name, sir?"
They actually identified an unknown Devil Fruit, and even let me see it too?
A gleam of light flashed in the fat man's eyes.
He had already begun to believe in the authenticity of this dimensional shop because of the unfamiliar but understandable text in the instruction manual. Now, Bai Ye's amazing "appraisal technique" undoubtedly played a significant supporting role.
“My name is Sengoku, Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, codename Sengoku,” the fat man replied.
"So, Mr. Sengoku, are you sure you want to sell this Devil Fruit?"
"Confirmed." Sengoku nodded, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said, "If possible, could you please divide your life force into one thousand days' worth?"
“This is a small matter.”
The Devil Fruit in Husky form turned into a card in Byakuya's hand and then disappeared.
With a flick of his wrist, Bai Ye produced ten cards containing one thousand units of life force each.
"How to use... Now these cards are yours to keep, just break them up."
"Thank you."
Sengoku took out a card, examined the aura on the back, hesitated for a moment, then covered his hands with a layer of jet-black Armament Haki before forcefully snapping it open.
click!
A burst of tiny green light particles merged into Sengoku's body.
A refreshing feeling spread throughout his body, and Sengoku discovered that the hidden injuries he had suffered in battles over the years had been mostly healed by these points of light!
Without hesitation, he broke another sheet into pieces.
This time, all the hidden injuries were finally healed, and Sengoku even felt that his skin had become smoother, if he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.
"I remember the instruction manual said that you can buy anything here, right?"
After personally experiencing the feeling of life force entering his body, Sengoku found himself like he was on drugs, and he didn't want to stop...
Chapter 035 The Angel from Academy City
Marineford, the headquarters of the Marines, in the world of One Piece.
The two naval officers standing guard at the entrance of the marshal's office building were taken aback when they saw Sengoku suddenly appear before them, and quickly saluted.
As expected of a great general, he was able to appear before them silently!
Sengoku nodded politely to the two naval officers, then pushed open the door and entered Marshal Sora's office.
"Warring States, what's wrong with you? Why are you so late?"
Upon seeing his arrival, Kong, who was sitting at the main table, frowned and began to complain.
"Um... there was a slight mishap."
"Are you ok?"
"It's alright, it's been resolved." Sengoku glanced at the group of vice admirals and above in the room, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "The vice admirals... except for Garp and Tsuru, the rest of you can leave now."
"Warring States Period, what are you planning to do?"
"I've encountered some strange things, and I don't feel it's good to announce it too soon..." Sengoku took a deep breath, feeling the life force cards in his pocket through a thin layer of fabric.
If that secret can be kept well, the Navy might even be able to...
After seeing Sengoku off at the Dimensional Shop, Bai Ye, unusually, didn't turn on his computer to play games. Instead, he rested his chin on his hand and pondered behind the counter.
Compared to some worlds that are capable of destroying the world at any time, the combat power in the One Piece world is indeed not high, but that does not mean that this world has no value for development.
Judging from the customers the Dimensional Shop has attracted these past few days, most of them are still within the realm of logical understanding in terms of combat strength. Whether it's the Six Powers summarized by the Navy or the Devil Fruits unique to that world, they hold considerable appeal for many customers...
As for the drawbacks of Devil Fruits, that's a matter of opinion.
Come to think of it, it seems that scientists in that world had even developed the technique of imbuing objects with Devil Fruit powers?
As expected, the world of anime is full of strange and unusual developments.
"Brother Bai, are you busy right now?"
"Yifang, didn't you just go back?" Feeling someone tugging at his clothes, Bai Ye turned his head and asked curiously, "I remember you said you were going to develop your abilities today and try to reach the level of a superpowered person as soon as possible, right?"
From the few words the other person spoke, Bai Ye had formed a general idea of the place called Academy City where it was located. In short, it was a city with a population of over a million, 80% of whom were students. Even with the lure of development capabilities, Bai Ye still couldn't imagine how the founders could get so many parents to agree to send their children there...
The methods for developing Academy City's capabilities include drugs, hypnosis, and electrotherapy...
Anyway, it didn't sound like a good idea. When Byakuya heard about it, he even advised Koichi to just settle down in Gensokyo, but the kid didn't agree.
Upon hearing Bai Ye's question, Xiao Yifang replied, "According to the schedule, I was supposed to go to the research institute to develop my abilities today. However, just as I was leaving your place, a strange guy suddenly approached me and said he hoped to meet with you... I came to ask for your opinion first."
"How strange is this weird guy?"
"How should I put it, she seems to be... an angel?" Recalling the woman who appeared with holy light effects, Yifang's small face was a little conflicted.
In other words, after coming into contact with the Dimensional Shop, her perspective has broadened considerably, and she probably won't even think of angels anymore after seeing Aiwass.
“An angel…” Bai Ye pondered for a moment, “Since she took the initiative to come to you, then bring her here. Here, I am invincible.”
"Okay," Yifang replied and walked back into the portal.
