Chapter 92 Like Sunshine

Ace had never thought that in his original world, he could play around with even a rented vehicle, and if he broke it, he would just pay for it. But in this world, he would need a license to drive this thing!

In the end, the colonel pretended to be a guardian to pick them up, but he used his connections to have them released.

——The main reason is that Ace has already paid the fine and compensated for the loss of the public telephone booth. He was also criticized and educated, but he was only exempted from the detention time.

After this incident, Ace was not allowed to go out by Morio for a whole week, and he still didn't even buy a cell phone.

According to Sen Ouwai's idea, you don't have to go out anyway, so you can just use his cell phone to make a call.

Although according to current trends, it is too early for Ace to have his own mobile phone, but by using his own mobile phone, Moriogai can also use it to get a glimpse of his current interpersonal relationships.

Ace was restricted from traveling and could only move around in the port building. Even the motorcycle he had parked in the underground parking lot was confiscated by Mori Ogai. He had no choice but to sneak out to play games with Yumeno Hisasaku every time he logged off. Then Mori Ogai could always find Yumeno Hisasaku's supernatural handprints on him.

He wanted to go and play with Chuuya Nakahara or Dazai Osamu, but Dazai Osamu was always nowhere to be found, and every time he came to the leader's office, he would be assigned work by Mori Ogai, and it was the kind of work that involved planning behind the scenes, which was not interesting at all to Ace.

Not to mention Zhong Yuanzhong, the two of them went to the police station together, and Sen Ou was on guard against the two of them getting together again to cause trouble for him.

This happened on their first date. Even Chuuya Nakahara had been avoiding Ace for a while. Of course, he was mainly avoiding Mori Ogai. He felt awkward facing Ace, and even more awkward facing Mori Ogai.

The day for the celebration party was approaching quickly. The day before the party, Ozaki Kouyo came over and took Ace out shopping.

Generally speaking, the clothing preferences of the Port Mafia are more inclined to suits, especially black, and the styles are different. Suits make people look more energetic and elite, and also make men more attractive. But Ace is obviously different. He is not used to wearing such tight clothes, and prefers loose, comfortable and easy-to-move clothes.

But in the Mafia, it's not possible without a suit that can be used for any occasion.

Ozaki Momiji first took him to a suit shop to customize a regular black suit and white shirt, and then bought him a more casual light brown long windbreaker with a dark brown vest and trousers.

There will be a celebration party tomorrow, and a custom-made suit can't be made so quickly, so I have to buy one that I can wear on the spot.

Ace pulled at his collar, opened the collar of his shirt wide, turned around and asked Ozaki Momiji, "Is it okay?"

Ozaki Momiji looked Ace up and down, finally stopping at the pair of brown cowboy-style short boots on his feet.

"Go buy another pair of leather shoes."

His current shoes won't go with his suit.

Ozaki Momiji took him to a shoe insole counter, bought him a pair of black leather shoes and a pair of dark brown ones, and then let him choose the one he liked.

Ace chose two pairs of sneakers and a pair of sandals. One pair of sneakers was recommended by the shopping guide. The main color is black. The other pair is more fancy. It has four colors: black, white, red and brown. It is obviously a style worn by young people. Fortunately, it is not Mori Ogai's body that is used now, otherwise Ozaki Koiba would find it hard to imagine what Mori Ogai would look like wearing these shoes.

The upper of the sandals is made of a wide dark brown leather strap, which looks like the type you would wear to the beach with friends in the summer. In short, it is the type of shoes that no one would wear to work in the Japanese workplace.

...Of course, Ace's original attire, um, was not suitable for the workplace.

As for some weird ideas, such as the whole shoe is golden, the toe is pointed and curved, the golden metal toe has a small high heel, and the heel is made into an ibex horn... these were all rejected by Ozaki Momiji.

She had discovered that Ace was always easily attracted to strange things.

After buying shoes, Ozaki Momiji took him to a men's clothing store, "Let's buy some daily clothes."

"oh."

Except for clothes worn on formal occasions, Ozaki Kouyo is quite willing to let Ace choose according to his own preferences for daily wear. However, after Ace fell in love with a floral shirt at first sight when he entered the door, Ozaki Kouyo felt that she could not let him choose casually, otherwise the situation that happened when he bought shoes before might happen again.

Every time Ace's eyes rested on some fancy and weird clothes, Ozaki Momiji would stop him while feeling amused. Of course, she was stopping him from buying them. If he wanted to try them for fun, it was fine as she also found them interesting.

Ozaki Kouyo: I think I understand a little bit about Mr. Ougai's hobby of buying skirts for Alice to change into.

The child is a clothes hanger. Who doesn’t like to play dress-up games? Chuuya’s outfit was also matched by her!

As he was walking around, he bought a lot of clothes without realizing it. Moreover, whenever Ace saw some snacks on the street, he would buy some and bring them back to eat, so he ate a lot without noticing.

Ozaki Kouyo couldn't help but tease, "If you eat too much, you won't be able to eat dinner at night."

After hearing this, Ace smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. I still won't be full even if you give me ten more! Mr. Ouwai's appetite is too small, his appetite is not even one-tenth of mine!"

Ozaki Momiji: "...?"

If she remembered correctly, Ouwaige's appetite should be similar to that of a normal adult male?

Ozaki Kouyo fell into deep thought, does this child eat too much?

Ozaki Kouyo's aesthetic sense is still very online. After buying clothes and shoes, she took Ace to the accessories store.

The accessories store has even more variety, and Esther has a particular preference for skull-shaped accessories. He originally wanted to buy a silver skull pendant, but Ozaki Momiji stopped him in time.

The skull hanging is delicate and small, and Ace has a large red bead string around his neck, which looks weird when put together.

"Ms. Hongye, can accessories be customized?" Ace touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly. He was not allowed to be topless here, and he wanted to make a watch face with the Whitebeard logo to wear on his wrist. In the past, he could melt it himself, but now he can't use the power of the Burning Fruit, so he can only use the conventional method.

Ozaki Kouyo was a little surprised. "You want to order accessories, but we can't do that here. I'll take you to a store that can do that later. Let's go buy a cell phone first."

"good."

When leaving the store, Ace's attention was attracted by the nail painting stall at the door of the jewelry store.

Ozaki Kouye followed his line of sight and raised her eyebrows. "You want to paint your nails?"

"I want to paint it black," Ace said. "Red is also fine. It feels cool."

He actually didn't have any special thoughts about painting his nails. Many pirates painted their nails, including his companions on the ship. But he was not the kind of person who would deliberately do such a thing. It was just that he happened to encounter it this time, so he felt a little tempted.

"Then go and paint one. It's still early." Ozaki Kouyo said with a smile.

Although she doesn't think the Ace paint looks good, but the child likes it, so it's no big deal. After a while, the nails will grow longer and they will naturally have to be cut off.

“Yeah!”

…

Of course it was impossible for Ozaki Kouyo to carry the things while Ace was shopping, so she asked the store owners to deliver the things to a point that the Port Mafia used to receive personal purchases, and then the people there delivered them to the Port Building.

So Mori Ogai watched helplessly as shopping bags were continuously delivered to the door of his office since this morning. When he asked, he found out that they were all bought by Ozaki Kouye for Ace.

Mori Ogai couldn't help but let out an envious sound: "Wow - that's great, I also want to take Alice-chan out to buy all kinds of little skirts!"

Alice, who was standing by, showed a look of disgust when she heard this: "Rintaro always only knows how to buy skirts. I don't want to go with Rintaro!"

"Wooooooooooo——Alice-chan——"

…

In the afternoon, Ace and Ozaki Koha hurried back to the port building before the exchange. When they came back, they brought a big bag of snacks, mainly grilled and fried foods.

Ace came back wearing the new clothes and shoes he bought while shopping, and after returning, he followed Ozaki Kouye into her office.

"Ms. Hongye, I put your milk tea and Japanese confectionery on the table."

"good."

"Well, there's one more thing..." Ace dug into his pocket and pulled out a red plum hair ornament with tassels. He held it up in front of Ozaki Momiji with his palm facing up. "This is for you."

Ozaki Kouye looked at the hair ornament in his hand and asked in surprise, "When did you buy it?"

She didn't even notice.

"When we were at the jewelry store." His other hand unconsciously placed behind her earlobe and gently rubbed it with his fingers, with a smile on his face that was rarely seen on the faces of people in the underworld. "When we were shopping earlier, I saw that you didn't seem to buy anything, so I bought you one."

Ozaki Kouyo was slightly startled, then a gentle smile appeared on her face. She reached out to pick up the hair ornament and inserted it slightly diagonally next to the hair ornament that was originally inserted in her bun. "I'll take it." She paused and said, "It's very beautiful."

Ace chuckled, "Then I'll go to Mr. Ougai's place."

"good."

Watching him walk away briskly, Ozaki Kouyo turned the table mirror on the table and looked at the red-haired woman in the mirror. The corners of the woman's mouth were slightly raised, and her smile was gentle and a little soft.

She couldn't help but be slightly stunned and reached out to touch the corner of her mouth.

She hadn't laughed like this for many years. Maybe she would laugh like this many years ago when her lover was still with her, but love at that time was also shrouded in fear. She was always worried about being discovered. Until she eloped with her lover, her lover was killed, and she was captured by the previous leader...

From then on, she armed herself with metal and bullets. All her words and actions turned into sharp thorns. Others respected and feared her, and she got used to hiding her inner softness and only showing her strong side.

What a magical child, like sunshine, but without burning people like her.

She once said that she hated hope and light the most, but people all tend to be attracted to light, and even if she had been hurt by it, she would never really hate it. She just hated falling into a deeper abyss after being illuminated by the light.

Only by understanding the darkness, going deep into the darkness, and integrating into the darkness, and still being able to warm others with hope, can these people who are drowning in the darkness be able to touch the sunshine.

You have really found a treasure, Mr. Ouwaige.
