Chapter 61: Lying Is Not a Good Thing
The entire Rockefeller Pirates were busy.
"Charlotte, I'm afraid that even if we empty the Rockefeller, we won't be able to fit all the books!"
Lina said, this was the result she had estimated.
There are really too many books here, so many that it's hard to tell how many there are. This is a huge accumulation over countless years.
"Don't worry, Lina, it will be solved."
Lina turned her head to look at Charlotte. Although she was surprised by Charlotte's confidence, she never doubted Charlotte's judgment.
"I understand."
Only Beta looked confused. What did he understand?
With his big and rough problem, Charlotte didn't trust him to do delicate work. Barrett was much better than him in this respect.
So Beta was directly disliked by everyone and could only follow Charlotte and Lina.
And Charlotte thought of Mitis in his mind. The key this time was Mitis.
One of the bug-like abilities of the Book-Book Fruit is to turn books into storage space.
There is a golden house in the book, which is not just a metaphor in this world.
The three of them walked quietly on the streets of O'Hara Town.
Everything seemed so beautiful.
The time of peace is not long. Everything will be destroyed by the Demon Slayer Order and turned into ruins, hidden under the wheel of history.
Charlotte looked around with emotion.
Perhaps only the lost can be remembered for a lifetime!
Lina felt a certain sadness in Charlotte, and this feeling became stronger and stronger. She didn't know what was going on?
This feeling has been there for a long time, as if she could feel some emotions of other people, especially Charlotte's deep emotions.
The feeling today was extremely strong.
What happened to her?
Although she couldn't figure out what happened to her, Lina could clearly sense that Charlotte was full of endless worries about the future.
"Hello, big brother."
A childish voice sounded beside her, interrupting Charlotte's thoughts.
Charlotte was stunned for a moment and turned to look for it.
What came into view was a white and clean little girl like a porcelain doll, carrying a large bag behind her.
For a young girl, it was very heavy.
You can see that it contains various packaged flowers.
You can tell at a glance that she is very attentive.
The little girl looked only eight or nine years old, with big eyes and a lively look. She bowed politely to Charlotte and Lina and said.
"Big brother, big sister, do you want to buy flowers?"
Looking at the cute look of the little girl, Lina felt that her heart was about to melt.
A gentle smile appeared on Charlotte's face, and she half squatted down and touched her soft hair.
"Little sister, how much is this costing you?"
The little girl saw the long knife Shi Yu hanging on Charlotte's waist and said timidly.
"Big brother, 200 Baileys, do you think it's okay?"
Charlotte also smiled helplessly, and it seemed that even the gloomy mood just now had dissipated a lot.
Then he said, "You shouldn't ask me this, little sister."
Charlotte naturally noticed the little girl's uneasy eyes and said in a gentle voice.
"Don't worry, this weapon is for dealing with bad guys."
The little girl's ignorant eyes were filled with innocence: "Really? That big brother is really awesome."
Charlotte nodded and smiled:
"Of course, the sea is very dangerous, there are many bad guys."
"Give me ten."
Charlotte took out a stack of brand new Baileys, a full two thousand, and put it in the little girl's hand.
The little girl looked up in surprise, put down the big backpack with a clumsy movement, leaned forward, and carefully selected with her little face.
"This one looks good."
"This one looks good too!"
"This one is also good!"
...
She picked and chose for a long time.
Charlotte waited very patiently, looking at the serious little look, very cute.
Until the little girl selected ten flowers that she obviously thought were the best, held them up with both hands, and handed them to Charlotte.
Charlotte took it and asked with a smile:
"Little sister, why are you selling flowers at such a young age?"
The little girl smiled sweetly and answered, "Oli is not young anymore, she can be independent."
She looked at the flowers in her backpack with pride.
"Dad and Mom are both excellent archaeologists, as good as big brother!"
Charlotte nodded with a smile, "That's amazing! You are also amazing!"
The little girl smiled proudly.
Lina on the side said, "Little sister, where are your parents!"
"Dad, Mom..."
The light in the little girl's eyes dimmed quickly, "Dad and Mom are sick, Dad and Mom's colleagues told me that they went to a very far place for treatment, and they can't come back for a long time."
Charlotte and Lina were both stunned, and a trace of sadness flashed in their eyes.
Then the little girl turned around and looked at the tall Beta, and asked timidly and politely.
"Uncle, would you like to buy flowers?"
Beta's face turned black.
The corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch, but his squatting body still looked huge, with an unnatural gentle smile on his face.
"Little sister, I'm only 16 years old, not that old, you should call me brother."
The little girl opened her eyes wide in surprise, carefully looked at the man in front of her who was as strong as a bear, and then shook her head.
"No, you don't look like one at all."
Beta had a black question mark on his face. He gritted his teeth and forced a smile out of his stiff expression again.
"Little sister, if you call me brother, I will buy all your flowers."
The little girl's eyes lit up, but soon she became tangled again. Her white and tender hands kept rubbing in front of her, as if she was making some kind of choice, very tangled.
Beta saw that there was a chance, and he was not anxious at all. Anyway, he would never admit that he was an uncle. He was still a child?
After a moment, the little girl said with a firm face.
"Although Ou Li wanted to sell all the flowers...but my parents taught me that it is not a good child to lie."
Beta's eyes went black, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".
Soon he jumped up with an unwilling look on his face, pointing at the girl viciously.
"How can I repair it!!! Open your eyes and look, I'm only 16 years old!!"
He screamed madly, he was not even as old as the eldest, he had never even touched a woman's hand, but he was the first to be an uncle, it was too much!
"Get out of the way..."
Charlotte saw the pitiful look of the little girl who was about to cry out of fear, and kicked Beta away angrily.
She looks so fierce, what's wrong with saying a few words to you.
Charlotte touched the little girl's head.
"Although that guy looks... uh... a little rough, he is also a good person, don't be afraid."
The little girl stared with her big eyes flashing, secretly glanced at Beta who stood up while rubbing his buttocks, and nodded blankly.
She immediately put the two thousand Baileys that Charlotte earned from selling flowers in her hand and counted them clumsily.
Then she took out a separate exquisite small bag and carefully put the money neatly in it.
At a glance, there was a thick stack of money there, Lina said with a smile.
"Little sister, you are so rich!"
The little girl said happily.
"I have saved this for a long time."
Lina's face hurt. What a sensible little girl.
How relieved her parents must be to have such a sensible and lovely daughter!
"Goodbye, big brother!! Goodbye, big sister!! Goodbye, uncle!!"
The little girl smiled and waved her little hand at the three people, and went to sell flowers somewhere else.
"How can I repair it!! I have said that I am a brother, not an uncle!!"
Beta rubbed his buttocks and shouted with a black face.
Charlotte looked at the little girl who left and said lightly.
"What do you think, we will build a hospital on Lati Island to provide free treatment for the residents on the island in the future?"
Lina and Beta looked at Charlotte in shock.
