Chapter 9 : Shishishi!


You woke up feeling both exhausted and achy, a tangible reminder of the previous day's efforts.

Today marked a significant transition: not only was it the first day of school for Perona and Zoro, but it also signified the day you and Luffy would officially join Mihawk's household.

To your surprise, Luffy was already by the front door, shoes on, embodying readiness.

After quickly instructing him to meet you at the new house later, you watched as he dashed off with a brisk nod, leaving you to contend with the logistics of moving.

With a resigned sigh and a gentle shake of your head, you began the task of transporting bags to your new residence.

The recent fire had left you ineligible for any insurance compensation due to a mistake Luffy had made.

Despite this setback, you found yourself not dwelling on the loss.

Indeed, the house held cherished memories, but such was the nature of life—you rise, brush off the dust, and press on.

Misfortune had long been a familiar presence in your life, its weight something you had learned to bear with a certain grace.

The concept of moving forward, despite adversity, had become a guiding principle for you.

Upon arriving at your new home, the sight of Mihawk's car parked outside caught your attention.

His absence the day prior lingered in your mind, accompanied by a flicker of concern.

Had your reaction to his attempt at waking you been too harsh?

The question hovered in your thoughts, an unresolved thread from the tapestry of the event.

The uncertainty of the situation added a layer of complexity to the already significant day ahead, intertwining personal reflections with the practicalities of moving forward in this new chapter of your life with Mihawk and his family.

With a sense of purpose, you decided to prioritize settling your brother into his new environment, aiming to arrange Luffy's new clothes in his room first.

The weight of responsibility felt heavier with each step as you ascended the staircase, your mind preoccupied with concerns for Luffy's comfort and well-being.

Financial constraints had tightened their grip on your ability to provide for Luffy, leaving you unable to afford basic necessities like a new bed frame, wardrobe, and other essentials for his room.

The thought of your own room's needs only compounded the worry, having been overshadowed by the expenses incurred from acquiring items for Hawk-chan's family.

A fleeting thought crossed your mind, "Maybe I can ask my neighbors if they could donate some to us..." as you momentarily paused on the staircase, grappling with the reality of your situation.

Another possibility surfaced, hesitantly, "Should I ask Hawk-chan if I can have an early paycheck..?"

Yet, almost as quickly as it appeared, you dismissed the thought.

Requesting an advance on your salary was uncharted territory for you, and considering Mihawk's already demonstrated generosity, you were loath to appear as though you were exploiting his kindness.

Upon reaching Luffy's new room, you opened the door, only to be met with an astonishing sight.

The room was already equipped with everything Luffy could possibly need—a queen-size bed complete with a frame, a study table, computer, chairs, and even a wardrobe.
