Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

"...She has her hair disheveled, her face is pale, and she is dressed in white. She always seems to have the sound of howling wind when she moves, and there is endless resentment in her eyes..."

Zhang Da also deliberately turned off the light above the bar, lit a candle, and told Tom a ghost story in the tone of a teacher who used to tell weird stories on TV.

Cluck, cluck, cluck... Tom's upper and lower teeth kept fighting, and he couldn't help but put a hand into his mouth, staring at Zhang Daye intently, his whole body trembling.

Tom has this kind of virtue from the beginning. Tom is afraid of ghosts, but he also likes to listen to ghost stories.

It seems that many people have this problem. They are scared to death, but they can't help but like horror stories. When they listen to them, they are so scared that they want to run away at any time, but they just want to be nailed to the spot and they won't move.

Tom was almost in this state now, so scared that he couldn't stop shaking even after wrapping himself in a small blanket.

Anyway, Zhang Da didn't understand Tom's mentality. He was only responsible for talking, mainly to tease Tom to relieve his boredom while the guests were not bothering him.

The dim candlelight flickered with the air he exhaled as he told the story, and strange sounds of kacha kacha kept coming from the side, adding a bit of horror to the atmosphere.

The reason for the strange noise was that Artoria was calmly eating senbei beside her. She must not be afraid of any ghosts. If anything, the heroic spirit was actually a kind of ghost, and it was not unusual for her at all.

"She crawled toward the camera bit by bit, getting closer and closer...first her arms, then her hair, and finally...she actually came out of the screen entirely!"

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!” Tom’s exclamation was so penetrating that the whole tavern seemed to be shaken, but it was not over yet—

"Ah!!!"*n

At some point around the candle, a dozen tall and thick men gathered around the candle, and they also followed Tom's scream and raised their voices.

Tom was startled by the sudden sound behind him, and swooped to the back of Zhang Daye's neck, only sticking half of his head out to observe carefully.

Zhang Da also covered his ears, and after the tenors calmed down, he complained: "I'm telling my cat a story, why are you joining in the fun? Just join in the fun and just be surprised. You are less courageous than a cat."

.”

A group of people blushed at what he said and stammered: "What...what? There is nothing to be afraid of..."

The main reason is that emotions are easily influenced by others. When Tom screamed, they accidentally shouted out, and now Zhang Daye felt ashamed when he said it.

Zhang Da also showed a profiteer's smile: "500 Baileys per person."

"Why, we didn't listen completely!"

"That's right!"

"Then I will tell Uncle Goodman tomorrow. You guys were so frightened by a little story that you almost wet your pants. With his character, there is no guarantee that everyone on the island will..."

"Brother, this is 500 beli, don't be polite to me! I don't mean anything else, I just think the story you told is so good, it's worth the price!"

"That's right!"

"Ha, thank you for your patronage!" After paying for an afternoon tea, Zhang Da was in a happy mood and asked proactively, "Do you want to continue listening? There is something more scary~"

Everyone shook their heads together, each took a bottle of wine they wanted and returned to their seats. From now on, we will be dogs when we listen to your stories.

In the evening, no one came to make trouble again until he went overseas, which made Zhang Da also very disappointed, so he closed the shop door and started practicing late.

As usual, he started with basic training such as physical strength, and then competed with Artoria.

"Crack!" "Crack!"

"Kacha!" The bamboo sword in Artoria's hand suddenly exploded, and bamboo shards flew everywhere.

Zhang Da also swayed and sat down on the ground, breathing heavily: "What... is going on?"

"Tatsuya!" Artoria threw away the hilt of the sword in her hand and hurried to help him.

"Meow?" He immediately dropped the dried fish in his hand and rushed to Zhang Daye's side in an instant, faster than Arturia.

Zhang Da also suddenly felt a little weak: "I'm fine. I just suddenly feel weak."

Arturia helped him sit down on the chair and said, "That was magic power just now."

"Magic power?" Zhang Da also thought he had awakened armed domineering power or something, but he didn't expect it to be magic power.

"Well, although it's weak, it does have the same magic power as mine."

"The way you taught me swordsmanship is a training method that can develop magical power?"

"No." Artoria denied, "I just teach you swordsmanship in general, and there is no way to 'train' magic power. Your body naturally produces weak magic power, and then it is just exhausted by you in one breath.

, broke my bamboo sword."

Am I a one-of-a-kind genius? No, no, I should doubt my cheating at this time.

Zhang Da also raised his left hand and looked at the magic circle above: "Is it the reason?"

Artoria nodded and said: "It's possible. You once said that you had unusual resilience after arriving in this world. I think it should be said that it was after you summoned Tom."

"And my body was able to produce magic power after you came." Zhang Da also followed her words and his tone gradually became excited, "You mean, I can get your abilities?"

"Maybe it's your ability, maybe it's your physique. You still need to observe it for a while, or you can't be sure until your next friend from another world responds to your call."

"That's great! In fact, as long as I have Tom's physique, I can't be killed no matter what." In fact, Zhang Da also thought of a test method in an instant, as long as Artoria slashed him in half.

, just see if it can be put together...

The problem is that he doesn't dare. If he guesses wrong, someone will die. In terms of resilience, he is still far behind Tom, so it may be just a part of his physical constitution or ability.

Even this is already good. Having part of their physique means that he has the possibility to surpass ordinary people. He can become stronger as long as he works hard. It is really a very happy thing!

Artoria also thought of this possibility: "It's more likely that we let you get part of our physique. At least for now, it doesn't seem to make you stronger out of thin air."

"Well, I will continue to work hard."

Artoria nodded, she believed that she saw Zhang Daye's hard work every day - well, she saw it while drinking tea.

The excitement slowly subsided, and Zhang Da also stroked Tom's hair while recalling the move just now: "Well, Artoria, why do I feel that the magic power is not as practical as I imagined? A full blow is just a blow.

It's just a rotten bamboo sword, and then I have no strength, so it seems like I might as well just use brute force?"

"That's because you just released the magic power roughly. If I used the same magic power, it would be enough to break the trunk of a tree."

"..." That means I'm too good at...
