The spacious and luxurious room was lit with large and small candles and lanterns.
In the darkness that was not illuminated by the light, Heather sat on the sofa, holding the pair of glasses given to him by his mother in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
Since entering the world of One Piece, he wears these glasses less and less.
He is afraid of his own weakness.
In Monster Hunter World, [World Will] almost succeeded in transforming his character, which made Heather extremely wary and unwilling to speak out.
He never thought that the difference in his personality before and after wearing glasses was a symptom of schizophrenia. He just thought it was depression caused by excessive pressure. But in Monster Hunter World, the will of the world taught him a good lesson.
In that world, I became weak, longed for friendship and recognition, became... stupid, and was almost completely transformed by the will of the world and stayed in that world forever.
Heather was afraid that her weakness after wearing glasses would give the world's will another opportunity.
If you really change your mind and personality, will you still be [yourself]?
Become stronger! Both physically and mentally!
Thinking of this, Heather grasped the glasses with her five fingers. As long as he exerted a little force, the glasses that represented his [humanity] would completely turn into crumbs.
"Huh? Where did the glasses in your hand come from?"
At this moment, Nami's curious inquiry came from not far away.
She was wearing a revealing miniskirt maid outfit, holding a lantern in her hand and looking curiously at the pair of glasses in Heather's hand.
Having spent so many days with Heather, she has seen everything that should be seen and shouldn't be seen. Nami thinks she knows a lot about this young and handsome Beast Pirates poster, but she has never seen Heather.
The pair of glasses in Se's hand.
To be precise, she had never seen such an expression on Heather's face - reluctance and determination mixed together.
This was an unimaginable sight for Heather, who usually looked on coldly from the perspective of a bystander and then let out a few joking laughs.
"Haven't you heard that saying? Curiosity will kill [the cat]."
Heather did not raise her head to look at Nami, but still focused on the glasses in her hand.
"Who made me a [Little Thieving Cat]?"
Nami looked at Heather's expression, and then turned her attention to the glasses: "These glasses are very precious to you, right?"
"...Does it have anything to do with you?"
Heather finally cast her gaze on Nami's pretty face, her tone full of repulsion:
"Don't ask more questions than you should."
Nami was not afraid of Heather at all: "It is obviously very important to you, but you just wanted to destroy this pair of glasses with your own hands. Most of the things you do on impulse will make people regret it later."
Needless to say, Heather was beginning to regret her previous impulse, but she still said stubbornly: "Have you finished cleaning the room? If you have so much free time, why not go clear the snow in the yard."
Nami began to squint her eyes. She found that Heather was much gentler now than the cruel look hidden in her usual smile, more like a [human being]. Yes, she never thought that Heather was a normal human being, but Some kind of [monster] wearing human skin.
But Heather looks more human now... Is it because of those glasses?
"Young Master Heather, why don't you put on these glasses? I haven't seen you wearing glasses before." Nami held Heather's arm and shook it vigorously, encouraging Heather to put on the glasses.
Heather was unmoved: "Go clean the yard quickly, the maid must have the consciousness of a maid."
"If you put on your glasses and let me see, I...I will..." Nami blushed, bit her lip, and whispered a few words into Heather's ear.
This is a necessary sacrifice to learn the secrets of the enemy general! Nami comforted herself like this.
After hearing this, Heather's eyes subconsciously glanced at Nami's deep ravine, and then she came back to her senses. This woman was so terrifying, she actually said words like the devil's whisper in such a majestic manner!
In fact, Heather's heart was already relaxed.
It's not because of Nami's temptation, but Heather does feel that her behavior has become more and more cruel recently. Even though she is still following the bottom line taught by her parents and the basic rules followed by the earth society, Heather can still detect it. To the recovery of one's own [nature].
I am not an ordinary human being, this is something that my parents and I both know very well.
The care and guidance of her parents turned her into a seemingly harmless homebody. This was a compromise made in order to survive with normal humans on earth, and Heather did not hate such constraints.
But even a lion that has been tamed by humans since childhood will slowly awaken its wild instinct after actually killing its prey. Heather, who is no longer bound by her parents, is gradually recovering her [Demon King] in the process of traveling through the world. ] nature.
And these glasses given to Heather by his mother are his limiters.
If you want to completely restore your true nature, destroy it.
If you want to maintain your humanity, wear it.
Tsk... It's definitely not for Nami's promise, it's just an ordinary rehabilitation exercise. Heather muttered to herself and put on her glasses.
Nami only felt that the dazzling and handsome big sign had disappeared, and was replaced by an ordinary black-haired man with glasses.
"It's amazing. Are these glasses a magic prop?"
Nami touched Heather's face in surprise, and suddenly it looked like a stranger. No, it was still the same face, but her perception of this face had changed!?
How amazing! If I had had such a pair of strange glasses when I was stealing all over the East China Sea, I would never have been caught!
"You're so annoying, just look at it and don't do anything." Heather tried to drive Nami away, but the latter stuck to him like brown candy.
It's true, after putting on these glasses, it's like a different person. The heart-stopping cruelty and indifference disappeared, replaced by the relatively soft and warm sunshine.
It feels like... Heather is better like this.
Thinking of this, Nami blushed slightly as she touched Heather's face.
"You're blushing like a bubblegum!" Heather pushed Nami away, then stood up and moved her body.
It felt like taking a sip of ice-cold Coke in the dog days of summer. My soul seemed to be healed and soothed after wearing the eyes. Obviously I didn't feel this way when I was in Wano Country a year ago because it had been so long.
Is it the reason for wearing glasses? I won’t suffer from [glasses poisoning syndrome], right?
What is certain is that my personality has not changed after wearing glasses. It’s just that my views on some things have shifted slightly... Well, my dislike of [Kozuki Oden] and [The Nine Heroes of the Red Scabbard] has not changed.
, that’s good.
Heather sank into the depths of her mind again to check her [Mythical Weapon Catalog]. The 400-day recasting cooling time had been reset to zero at tonight's banquet, and new mythical weapons could be recast at any time.
On the page of [Knife], the vague shadow that resembles a giant egg is still trembling slightly with the heartbeat, and the hatching has not yet been completed.
It’s clear that the time has come, why hasn’t the hatch been successful yet? Is there another [opportunity] needed?
Heather frowned and was lost in thought, but this was another signal to Nami's eyes.
She blushed and started pushing Heather toward the bedroom. Heather had completed the agreement, so she had to pay [remuneration].
But... at least in the bedroom. It would be too shameful in the living room!
"Huh? What are you doing?" Heather came back to her senses and found that Nami had pushed her to the bedroom, and her miniskirt maid outfit had quietly fallen to the ground.
The dazzling and beautiful sight made Heather feel dazed for a while.
But he came back to his senses immediately. He neither rushed over to execute Nami on the spot, nor turned around and ran away like a celestial eunuch. Instead, he looked at Nami with admiration.
It is human nature to like beautiful things.
"...Well, at least do something, you have obviously despised yourself to this point..." Nami's voice was trembling with tears. This was her greatest courage.
She can no longer tell whether she is succumbing to Heather's strength and the safety of her companions, or whether she has really fallen in love with this annoying person who always loves to quarrel with her and has her own bottom line and persistence.
.
"According to common sense, I should press you on the bed now and let you fulfill your promise."
Heather walked up to Nami, raised her chin and said slowly:
"But you only have false feelings for me because of Stockholm Syndrome. This kind of emotion is like an epiphyllum, and its beauty can only disappear in an instant. And I am disrespecting myself by taking you down at this time. Well,
Seeing this, you have already delivered your [reward]. Now, go put on your maid uniform and make me a cup of coffee, just put two sugar cubes in it."
The plain words directly broke Nami's shy and anxious girl's heart.
If the hooded version of Heather is more wild and bold and indulges her own desires, then the glasses version of Heather is calmer and more straightforward on the basis of being close to human nature.
The implication is that I am so good that I don’t need to coerce women to do that kind of thing. I just want the kind of love that is consistent with my heart. Are you wronged? I am not willing to do it!
A few minutes later, Nami, who had put on the miniskirt maid outfit again, stood in the kitchen, staring blankly at the coffee machine in front of her.
I can’t believe what I just did! Isn’t the behavior just now the fanatical behavior of Kim Rami and other female fans of Heather that I despise? What’s more terrible is that this crazy behavior of mine was ruthlessly treated by Heather
Refused!
I retract my preface, I hate any version of Heather.
In the bedroom, Heather shook her head. Her charm was indeed unstoppable. Even Nami, who was not a member of the Appearance Association in the original book, was deceived by her. I am really a sinful man.
But what Heather just said was not pretentious. If he really just wanted to vent his anger, he could have followed the artillery king route from the beginning of the Pirates of the Caribbean world, what about Angelica, Ershan, Momo, Ulti, and Jinla?
Rice, etc., etc., none of them can escape from the palm of their hands.
But B Wang Lanran has a saying that makes sense - [Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding].
Even Ershan only likes herself who is influenced by the will of the world.
Maybe in other worlds, you can meet a girl with whom you are willing to have a vigorous love affair, but at least in this One Piece world, no such girl has appeared.
Heather stretched out her five fingers and then clenched them tightly. After repeating this several times, she realized that wearing this pair of [Superman's Invisibility Glasses] would indeed affect her ability to perform. I'm afraid this was also the self-suggestion effect of the limiter.
It doesn't matter, just wear glasses occasionally to maintain your humanity. What I have to do now is learn and practice swordsmanship.
The swordsmanship in the One Piece world is considered to be at the upper-middle level among major comic book worlds, and the world's top swordsmen like [Hawkeye] can use their swordsmanship to become as powerful as 'magic'.
If nothing else goes wrong, the weapon that is hatching should be based on the [Tachi] from the monster hunting world. Learning swordsmanship in advance is a good way to prepare for a rainy day.
When this weapon that can kill gods is hatched, Heather believes that the whole world will tremble.
