P S M Chapter 39: Missed.

 

As the ship gradually left the dock, there were waves of farewells from it.

"Nojiko, come back and see us more when you have time!"

"Sister Nojiko, don't forget to bring me a gift next time you come back!"

"Bon Voyage."

"Master Lin Yu, you must take care of her."

"We will always follow your news."

"We will miss you!"

••••••

The people on the dock shouted the names of Lin Yu and Nojiko, adding a sense of melancholy at parting to both parties, especially the figure of the man who wore the hat with the windmill standing on the outside, cried with tears now.

Nojiko, who was standing on the ship's deck was no better than them, her tears were already streaming down her face at the moment, her emotions have erupted, and she had grabbed the fence on the deck and had yelled out with emotion: "Everyone, take care of yourselves, I will miss you!"

It wasn't until the ship pulled away from the dock and she couldn't see them at all that her mood eased a bit.

Lin Yu had patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Is it better now? If you are homesick in the future, we can come back having a look!"

"It's okay, I just feel a little bit reluctant to do it with everyone. Usually, everyone feels nothing when they are together, but this time I feel particularly reluctant to leave." Nojiko, who had regained her good mood, was gradually released from the reluctance.

Seeing Nojiko gradually stepping out of parting emotions, Lin Yu changed the subject while the iron was hot: "It is normal, this is human nature. Before leaving, did you arrange everything at home?" 

"Yeah, I've already explained it to aunt Mummy Mee, she will begin taking care of the Tangerine Garden first, and Genzo will help her to take care of it. Nothing will go wrong. The key to the house has been handed over to Genzo, and when Nami will go back, he will give her the key, and then the tangerines orchard will be handed over to Nami to take care of it." Nojiko replied with confidence.

"The tangerine orchard would be taken care of by Nami. I am afraid you will lose it with this idea. She will not take care of the tangerine orchard in a stable manner. I feel sorry for the poor mandarin orchard, which has no one to take care of it a second time. By the way, talking about the tangerine orchard, did you bring some of the tangerines I bought on board!" Lin Yu said anxiously.

"Puff!" Nojiko was amused by Lin Yu's anxious look, and said angrily: "Don't worry, do you think I can't do without your order, I've already moved the best barrels of tangerines to the ship! My master captain."

"Laughing, this is what I deserve, because I paid for it!" Seeing Nojiko who had been amused, Lin Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Yes, yes, you paid, and now the oranges are quietly staying in the cabin. You won't be missing, so you can rest assured." Nojiko was amused and laughed.

"Yes, so while you laugh so softly. I'm going eating my tangerines." Seeing Nojiko's smiling flowers trembling, Lin Yu walked toward the cabin, intending to quench his thirst with a few tangerines, although he had just drunk a lot of water which was didn’t quench his thirst, so now he wanted to quench his thirst and dry it with some tangerines.

After he was got down to the cabin, Nojiko had slowly stopped laughing. She knew he wanted deliberately to make her happy. In order to prevent him from worrying, she had laughed with him and when he was gone. She had felt it was not so easy to get rid of her thoughts, moreover, after leaving her town this time, Nojiko did not saw the most important person for her, her sister Nami. She did not say goodbye to her personally.

In order to make up the 100 million Bellys to ransom the village, Nami was gone to sea to steal the pirates' treasures whenever she had the chance, so she was often running around and having no fixed place. Even Nojiko didn't know where her sister was and could only see her when she returned to Cocoyasi Village after each harvest.

Although this time with the help of the banquet, Lin Yu had stayed in Cocoyasi Village for three more days, and he couldn't stay longer to wait for Nami to return. We can only say fate is unforgivable.

Then she could only look forward to seeing her sister when she comes back next time, she didn’t know if Nami will be shocked by the changes in the village when she comes back. Now Arlong is dead and the villagers are free. Nami's hard-earned money would then stay with her. She would be crazy, we didn't know if she will fall asleep on her treasure at night, you must know that lying on the treasure to sleep was one of her dreams when she was a child!

Thinking of Nami's happy appearance, Nojiko's mouth had also shown a knowing smile. "Well, since Nami hadn't come back yet, so could we just pass each other on the road?" Nojiko thought with a hint of luck.

••••••

Not long after Lin Yu left Cocoyasi Village, a boat that was about 30 nautical miles away from it, but at a 90-degree angle to his way, had slowly approached Cocoyasi Village.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Nami had parked the boat, carrying a bag full of things from the boat, and had walked towards her familiar village. For some reason, she, who had just returned, had always felt that the village in the distance had changed a little. Just stepping into the entrance of the village, she had noticed the changes in the village. 

Usually, after the sunset, the village would become lifeless at this time of day. Villagers would pack their things and go home to rest, so as not to make a sound in the middle of the night to attract the attention of the Arlong Pirates group. But now some of the villagers in the village were cleaning the dilapidated streets, and some gathered in twos and threes to chat together on both sides of the street. She could even see a few bear children running and playing in the street and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

Everyone was happy, what's wrong, is there any happy event in the village today? Why was everyone so happy?

Nami, who had stepped into the village at this time, had also attracted the attention of the villagers.

Seeing the villagers had noticed her arrival, Nami could only sullen her face and showed an indifferent expression, planning to think of a way to get the villagers to go home early, so as not to attract the attention of Arlong and his team.

She was really sorry, it was rare for her to see everyone so happy, and she was going to destroy it again, Nami thought painfully in her heart. But if these events got Arlong’s attention, then there might be villagers injured. If everyone was going to blame her, then blame her.

Knowing that Arlong and other Murlocs were cruel, Nami had planned to let herself be the villain person, at least so that no villager would be injured.

"Oh, you over there, aren't you Nami? It's a shame you've come back from the sea now. If you had come back earlier, before half the day. You won't miss it!" The uncle sweeping the floor at the entrance of the village had said this when he saw Nami's figure after frozen for a while, he had said that with a pity.

"Yeah, yeah, in the half a day in the morning, Nami will be able to catch the banquet in the village." The aunt who was cleaning the other side of the street continued.

'It turned out that a banquet was just held. It seemed that something really was happened in the village. Is anyone married?' Nami thought.

While Nami thought about who the man in the village was for whom they made a banquet, the uncle sweeping the floor had said something that surprised her.
