My two-dimensional resident

If we want to eat other fruits, we have to import them from other islands.

"The empty beach, with hardly any coconut trees, is just too monotonous. I need to think of a way to get some coconuts..."

Walking on the wet, clean beach, Lin Tian looked at the small dark shape in the distance; it was the airport built on the coast.

The modern airport made Lin Tian wonder how Kikyo would react when she saw the plane.

Since there was an airport right between them, Lin Tian guessed that Kikyo would be quite interested in airports. When they met, he could explain to Kikyo what airports and airplanes were for.

The sudden downpour ruined Lin Tian's afternoon fishing plans, but he wasn't disappointed at all.

That's life; all sorts of unexpected uncertainties disrupt your plans, preventing you from doing things exactly as you envisioned.

Don't let your plans enslave you; enjoying life is the most important thing.

As for fishing, Lin Tian just wanted to experience how it differed from the game.

"Lin Tian, ​​you're awake!"

A few minutes later, Lin Tian and Kikyo met on the beach near the airport. Seeing Lin Tian looking for her, Kikyo greeted him.

"I'm so sorry to have made you laugh! I actually fell asleep in your house!"

"Hehe, I was so rude. I kept making you tell me your story and the world you live in!"

Seeing Kikyo bow and apologize to him like a well-bred young lady, Lin Tian felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject. If this continued, he was afraid that he would also learn from Kikyo and bow to her.

Bowing is out of the question. As a Chinese citizen, Lin Tian would never do such a thing, even in another world!

"Haha! Have you found anything interesting on the beach lately?"

"Well, I saw you were asleep, and remembering you said you wanted to fish to sell for money, I went out to fish with the fishing rod you gave me. But I didn't catch a single fish... However, I did find some seashells, and I also found a man who was unconscious. I checked on him, and he wasn't in any immediate danger, but I couldn't wake him up!"

Upon hearing Lin Tian's question, Kikyo's face showed a rare hint of shame, and she looked to the side like a child who had done something wrong.

"Haha, that's normal! You can't judge anything on this island by your past experience! If you didn't catch anything, you didn't catch anything. It's good to have some seashells; you can keep them. You can use them as decorations later... What? A man who's unconscious? Is there a new guy? Take me there quickly!"

Upon hearing that Kikyo hadn't caught any fish, Lin Tian wore an expression of surprise and began to comfort her.

But before he could finish speaking, Lin Tian belatedly realized that Kikyo had met someone new. So he gestured for Kikyo to take him to find the unconscious man.

Before a single day had passed, new people arrived on the island. Thinking of Kikyo, a character from Inuyasha, Lin Tian couldn't help but wonder if this newcomer was also a character from the anime.

In the game, players are accompanied by two animal companions when they first arrive on the island. But here, Lin Tian arrives on the island alone.

He had asked Xiao Ke and the others before, and they told Lin Tian that some residents had come to the island, but because Lin Tian, ​​the island's owner, did not appear, those residents left after a very short time.

Kikyo has now discovered a person lying unconscious on the beach. Lin Tian suspects that this is the "Island Will" doing this on purpose to make up for the fact that no one came to the island with him.

The bellflower in the morning and the unconscious man in the evening—these are two people, perfectly corresponding to the player's initial two companions in the game.

"Okay, I'll take you there now!"

Seeing Lin Tian's anxious expression, Kikyo nodded, took out her phone to look at the map, then turned around and walked towards the person she had spotted.

Kikyo didn't continue walking on the beach with Lin Tian, ​​because the unconscious man she had found was on the western side of the beach. She memorized his location as soon as she spotted him.

Now, by simply following a straight line through the grass and woods ahead, we can find the unconscious man, which is much faster than following the beach.

The sudden arrival of the man on the island made Lin Tian forget to introduce the airport behind Kikyo, and he also didn't have the chance to take Kikyo to visit the airport's reception hall and the bulky but very cute seaplane.

......

On the way, under Lin Tian's persistent questioning, Kikyo described the person's physical characteristics.

She had short, slightly wavy black hair, dark skin, freckles on her cheeks, and an "ASCE" tattoo on her left arm. She wore a red beaded necklace. One hand held a peculiar sun hat that Kikyo had never seen before, and the other held a package.

Kikyo felt sorry for the man because he wasn't wearing any clothes on his upper body, only a pair of black shorts.

After listening to Kikyo's description, Lin Tian frowned. His brain began to work frantically, following her instructions. Aside from having some recollection of the "ASCE" tattoo...

He simply couldn't recall a single anime character that resembled this person.

'My intuition tells me I must know this man with "ASCE" tattooed on his left arm... But who is he?'

Lin Tian, ​​who was following behind Kikyo, fell into deep thought.

With doubts in his heart, Lin Tian quickened his pace and hurried into the woods blocking his way.

About twenty minutes later, led by Kikyo, they arrived at the adorable west coast of Rabbit Island.

By this time, the sun had completely set on the distant horizon, leaving only a sliver of afterglow to keep the world from falling into darkness.

"Lin Tian, ​​look! There he is! He's still lying there!"

Standing on the beach, Kikyo looked at the dark figure still lying on the sand not far away and pointed the way for Lin Tian.

"Okay, let's go take a look!"

Guided by Kikyo, Lin Tian also saw the person and walked past Kikyo toward him.

Walking up to the person, Lin Tian kicked away the hermit crab that was trying to crawl into the person's hair, then squatted down to observe the person closely.

Although the sun had completely sunk below the horizon and the sky had darkened, Lin Tian recognized the man in less than a second.

"Huh?! Isn't that Ace from One Piece??? How did he end up on my island???"

Unbelievable! The unconscious man in front of him was him! Lin Tian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!

Fire Fist Ace! The older brother of Monkey D. Luffy, the protagonist of the One Piece anime, and the posthumous son of the previous Pirate King, Roger!

As a child, he was taken in by Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp, Luffy's grandfather...

Chapter Twenty-One: The Man Who Shielded the Sun God from the Fist of Lava

At the age of 17, in order to become the Pirate King, he set sail from the East Blue and became a pirate, founding the Spade Pirates. By the time he reached the Grand Line, he was already famous throughout the world.

He rejected the World Government's invitation to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and later went to the New World to challenge Whitebeard. He was defeated by Whitebeard, became Whitebeard's adopted son, and joined the Whitebeard Pirates...

Looking at the unconscious Ace before him, Lin Tian's mind raced with memories of Ace's exploits. To determine which period of Ace had arrived on the island, Lin Tian lifted Ace by the shoulders and turned him over.

"If he doesn't have the Whitebeard Pirates' insignia, then this Ace must be the Ace who just set sail! But why would he come to my island? Given his obsession with the title of Pirate King, I doubt he would actually settle on this island and become a resident..."

Lin Tian frowned upon learning that the other person was Ace. Now, discovering that the other person was a pirate who had just set sail, it meant that the other person's ambition was still to become the Pirate King, rather than assisting Whitebeard in becoming the Pirate King.

"This is difficult... He definitely won't agree to stay if we force him..."

After laying Ace back down, Lin Tian stared at Ace's face, his heart filled with conflict.

He was determined in the morning to make the island's residents live a happy and fulfilling life, but in the evening, Ace arrived on the island...

He knew Ace very well. Someone like that could never stay on the island; forcing him to stay would go against Lin Tian's principles.

"Lin Tian, ​​you seem to know him."

Just then, as Lin Tian was struggling with his decision, Kikyo appeared behind him. Noticing that Lin Tian was acting strangely, she asked him what was wrong.

"Well... how should I put it? I know him, but he doesn't know me. And he's not from my world. Kikyo, you've read the novel or heard the story, right? The person in front of you is from a story called One Piece in our world. His name is Ace, a man who wants to become the Pirate King."

Faced with Kikyo's question, Lin Tian felt there was no need to hide the fact that he knew her. The pattern was that two anime characters would be sent up using "island consciousness."

So the people who land on the island later will most likely be anime characters, or even characters that Lin Tian is familiar with.

If someone keeps hiding the truth and making up lies, someone as intelligent as Kikyo will eventually see through it.

Even if Lin Tian explains, Kikyo will still harbor resentment by then.

So instead of doing that, it's better to be honest and straightforward from the beginning.

After hearing Lin Tian's words, Kikyo paused slightly, her movements halting as if she had grasped something. However, she quickly recovered, walked to Lin Tian's side, and spoke.

"A pirate? Then he's a bad guy! If we let him come to the island, what if he does something bad to us? Maybe..."

Lin Tian, ​​who had been watching Ace intently, did not notice the change in Kikyo's expression.

"No! Ace may be a pirate, but 'sea adventurer' is a more accurate description. He's kind, courteous, and doesn't bully the weak. What worries me is that he's obsessed with becoming the Pirate King; his life is on the high seas. It's impossible for him to come ashore and become our crewmate!"

The strangest thing is, why would the island's will arrange for such a person to appear here?

"Oh, Lin Tian, ​​you're overthinking it! You don't need to think so much. It'll only increase your pressure. Didn't you say you wanted to create a beautiful and happy island? This won't do! As for that pirate... whether Ace stays or leaves, let him choose for himself after he wakes up, okay?"

Lin Tian, ​​you're too concerned about that island's will... that's not good!

hum!

Kikyo's words were like a spring breeze to Lin Tian, ​​a moment of enlightenment that instantly freed him from his troubles.

Animal Crossing itself doesn't force players to do any tasks. So, on this island, the "island's will" certainly won't force Lin Tian to persuade anyone who comes to the island to become a resident.

Lin Tian was misled by the game's feature that new players would have two companions when they arrived on the island. He thought that Ace's arrival was the second resident arranged for him by the "will of the island".

"Thank you, Kikyo! My thinking was too rigid!"

After figuring everything out, Lin Tian's mood returned to normal, and he looked at Kikyo with a grateful expression.

"Ok!"

"Let's go back to the plaza. Little K and the others should be preparing the feast! We've just arrived in this new world, so we must celebrate our new life tonight! And let's also see if Little K can wake Ace up!"

With that, Lin Tian stood up, grabbed Ace's arms with both hands, and carried him on his back. He then walked towards the plaza with Kikyo in tow.

"Kikyo, you are actually a character from a story I know well. I think you've already noticed something amiss in my behavior towards you, haven't you?"

In the woods, a few rays of moonlight pierced through the gaps between the trees, illuminating the path for Lin Tian and his companions.

Neither Lin Tian nor Kikyo spoke for the rest of the journey, a silence that lasted for about five minutes. Lin Tian suddenly realized that Kikyo might have discerned from their earlier conversation why he felt so familiar with her.

Now that he had been discovered, Lin Tian didn't want to hide it anymore. He had already come to regard Kikyo as his partner.

"So, Lin Tian, ​​based on what you told me this afternoon, and according to your world's standards, I should be considered a well-known figure. So tell me, what's your opinion of me? If I answer that, I won't be angry that you've kept this from me."

"this..."

Stopping in his tracks, Lin Tian turned to look at Kikyo. Bathed in the afterglow of the moonlight, Kikyo, dressed in her shrine maiden attire, appeared so pure and beautiful. Looking at her slightly smiling face, devoid of any anger or sadness, Lin Tian was momentarily at a loss for words.

He had assumed that after revealing the truth, Kikyo would be angry at him for deceiving her, or perhaps ask him what happened after her death.

But Kikyo's words surprised Lin Tian. He had thought that this priestess, who had experienced Inuyasha's "betrayal," would be particularly sensitive to concealment and deception, and would hold a grudge because he hadn't told the truth.

Now, looking into Kikyo's clear eyes, Lin Tian understood that she had never been defeated by the resentment, depression, hatred, desire, or tragic experiences in her heart. She was still that pure, beautiful, gentle, and considerate girl who adhered to her beliefs.

Wrong! Everything is wrong!
