Zongman travels to the strength supreme preparation stage

All she could think about now was what her cousin, Shiina Hiyori, had said.

“If you really don’t want to paint anymore, just stop and do what you want to do.”

Seeing that the head maid had left, Mashiro threw the pen aside, went under her bed, rummaged around, and soon found a book.

That's the comic that Shiina Hiyori gave to Mashiro.

Hiyori was afraid that Mashiro would be too lonely, so she gave her a lot of comics and novels.

Mashiro also fell in love with comics and even wanted to become a cartoonist.

Mashiro held the comic book that she had read countless times in her arms.

This comic book was given to her by Hiyori a year ago...

At that time, Hiyori had to stay in the closed school of Gaoduyucheng and would not be able to come back for three years.

Mashiro has read this book countless times and still enjoys reading it.

She wants to be a cartoonist.

She wants to go to Neon to find Hiyori.

She wanted to leave the room.

She doesn't want to paint anymore...

Mashiro tightened the comic book in her arms, as if she had made some kind of decision.

"Decided."

“I don’t paint anymore…”

Chapter 229: Encounter with Shiina Mahiru.

Neon somewhere.

This is an apartment building, a simple and ordinary one.

And Shiina Mahiru is living here alone.

Without the company of parents.

She was an unwanted child.

Neither her mother nor her father wanted her.

Then why did you give birth to yourself in the first place?

Shiina Mahiru had tears in her eyes, and she didn't know how many times she had cried.

She hugged her knees tightly and muttered someone's name.

"Akasaka...where are you?"

Time goes back to before Akasaka lost his memory.

It was raining heavily that day.

I was alone, sitting on a bench, getting wet in the rain.

【Ah...it's raining.】

Mahiru didn't react at all and let the rain soak her body.

She sat on the wet bench with a blank look in her eyes.

Her father and mother were arguing again.

My mother took me to meet my father who had remarried. After his unreasonable behavior, we were both kicked out.

And the mother took out her anger on herself.

She said she was a bastard and asked why she couldn't keep her husband's heart.

Shiina Mahiru was already numb and didn't want to talk anymore.

My mother abandoned me, only giving me 6 yuan a month for living expenses, and then threw the money in my face and never came back.

However, the living expenses of 6 yuan are not enough to cover one's expenses, because renting a house alone costs more than 5 yuan.

In order to maintain her own expenses and tuition, Shiina Mahiru tried to work part-time.

But because of my age, no one dared to accept me.

Even if someone dares to ask for it, they would only go to entertainment venues, such as bars, and I don’t dare to go there myself.

So time passed by in this tight manner.

He relied on the 1 yen he saved by living frugally, but he was ultimately unable to make ends meet. When it was almost time to pay tuition, he could no longer afford the money.

I have contacted my mother and wanted to borrow some money.

Unfortunately, the other party hung up the phone very quickly.

Out of humanitarianism, the school gives me a living allowance of 11 yuan every month, but in return, I have to achieve first place in the exams and bring honor to the school.

I did not disappoint the school and successfully won the first place. The tuition fees were waived by the school.

With the monthly living allowance from the other party, life is still bearable. At least we don’t have to live in poverty.

But recently her mother came to see her again.

Seeing that he was living such a good life, he didn't know what he had done to offend her, but she stole all his savings and slandered him as a dirty thing.

Because she didn't believe that Mahiru could make so much money, she must have sold her body.

Just like that, without even giving me an explanation, I was kicked out of the house.

It was clearly her who paid the rent for this house...

Mahiru was sitting on a bench in the park, pulling her suitcase, getting wet by the rain.

She had nowhere to go and didn't know what to do next.

She wanted to die...

Just at this moment, "Hey? Let me look for it, oh, I found it!"

A boy who was rummaging through a trash can appeared in front of Mahiru.

He was covered in dirt and seemed to be picking up cans to sell for money.

He picked up a cardboard shell and used it to shield the wet Mahiru from the rain.

That was Mahiru's first encounter with that person.

She still remembers it vividly until now.

Mahiru looked at the dirty boy with empty eyes, not understanding what he was doing?

Does this make sense?

I'm already drenched in the rain, why would I do such a stupid thing?

Mahiru pursed her lips and didn't say the words she wanted to scold. She hugged her shoulders tightly and burst into tears.

Seeing this situation, the young man was also in a panic and didn't know what to do.

I wanted to take off my clothes to shield the girl from the rain, but when I looked at my dirty clothes, I stopped.

The boy scratched his head, suddenly thinking of something. He went into the woods, rummaged around for a while, and finally found two huge leaves, big enough to cover a person. He placed them over Mahiru's head and stood there like a fool, shielding her from the rain.

Mahiru has never felt love since she was a child.

And today, she felt from this dirty boy what she had hoped and desired the most.

She didn't mind the boy's dirty body and hugged him in her arms.

As if she had found a spiritual haven, she cried silently to the young man.

The boy felt the girl's trembling shoulders, she was obviously crying.

He subconsciously hugged the girl and patted her back to comfort her.

Mahiru smiled.

This silly brother is so skinny even though he is hungry, but he still cares about me.

Stupid!

Mahiru brought the boy home.

After making her room a mess, the mother left.

Nothing is left.

Even the subsidy that he had worked so hard to save was taken away.

Now Shiina Mahiru is really penniless.

As if he had guessed what Mahiru was thinking, the boy quickly spoke up. "I'll pick up bottles and make money. You don't have to worry about my living expenses. I'll find a way myself."

Mahiru poked his forehead.

"Fool!"

"Sister will find a way to support you in the future. Don't pick up bottles anymore. Do you hear me?"

"Oh~", the boy just said "oh", his eyes were wandering, obviously he didn't hear it.

Mahiru had no choice but to slowly correct the child's values ​​and then asked for his name.

"What's your name?"

The boy showed his big white teeth.

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm the man who will become the Pirate King."

Shiina Mahiru........

"Could you please stop teasing me?"

"Do you really think I haven't watched One Piece?"

Well, the boy also told the truth.
