Chapter 115 Sha Youlan and You
"This is what happened to me over the past three years." Yu leaned against the headboard, gazing out the window.
A toddler sat by the bed, wearing a spotted fluffy hat. Looking at You like this, the child felt a pang of sadness.
"Nai-san likes that Katakuri, right?"
Upon hearing this name, Yu's eyes flickered. But quickly, they returned to a gray, lifeless state.
"I loved him, but all I got in return was a bullet from him." Yu's eyes were devoid of light, and her tone was filled with sorrow.
She was confident that she could escape smoothly using the seawater, so that day, she used the old woman's words to provoke her anger, so that Katakuri and Perospero would not be implicated.
But unexpectedly, Katakuri made a move.
Actually, upon closer reflection, this is quite normal. But it's still very sad to have Yu facing the person she trusts and relies on most.
This person, in particular, dealt her a fatal blow.
The wound inflicted by the earth dragon is on her left side and is still bandaged; blood oozes out with every movement. It will definitely leave a scar—a very ugly and hideous scar.
Does he even know how much it hurts...? She's terrified of pain...
Tears welled up in You's eyes and streamed down her face again and again, unstoppable.
But she pursed her lips tightly, trying not to let herself cry out.
"Nai-san!" The child looked at the white bandage on his waist, which was starting to bleed again, and felt both angry and worried.
It's been like this for several days now. She's been listless and depressed ever since she woke up. Luo finally managed to get You to speak, but as soon as she finished, her emotions got the better of her.
This is completely different from the energetic Yu from before.
"I'm sorry, Luo Bao, I've made you re-bandage me." You said apologetically, but she couldn't help it.
The child is Law, whom Yu and Rosinante rescued from Doflamingo's pirate crew.
He is now proficient in using the Op-Op Fruit and has formed his own Heart Pirates.
"Nai-san, if you continue like this, your wound will only heal more slowly." Luo was truly worried sick.
Naisang is very sentimental; she will devote herself wholeheartedly to the people she cares about. However, if someone deceives her or does something to upset her, the impact will be significant.
You sniffed and nodded. "Don't worry, I'll definitely adjust myself and get better as soon as possible."
"Don't just tell me, you have to do it yourself." Luo said helplessly, his attitude towards these words skeptical.
“…I’ll try.” Yu wasn’t sure either, but she needed time.
Yu was still weak, and soon closed her eyes and fell asleep. Luo watched as his beloved sister fell asleep before leaving.
"Captain, how is your sister?" Two men, about Luo's age, ran up to him as soon as they saw him come out.
There was also a white bear beside the two.
"It's not good. The wound got wet and is quite bad. Plus, her emotions have been unstable these past few days, so it's healing very slowly." Luo's expression was grave. If this continues, Nesang's condition will only get worse.
"What should we do? Is there any way to calm her down?" Xia Qi had no idea, but continuing like this definitely wouldn't work.
Bepo the polar bear raised his hand and said with a blank expression, "I'll go make funny faces to cheer her up."
“What if her smile reopens the wound!” Pekin growled, rejecting Bepo’s idea.
After being yelled at like that, Bepo lowered his head and apologized, saying "I'm sorry."
"Alright, let Nessan get some sleep first. Bepo, keep an eye on things for me and wake me up when he wakes up." Luo instructed Bepo, then took Shaki and Pekin to make medicine.
Bepo didn't dare to go in directly, so he peeked in from the doorway and secretly looked at Yu inside.
She's sleeping, but judging from her expression, she doesn't seem to be sleeping well. Is she crying?
These past few days, Yu has been having the same dream over and over again.
The suffocating feeling in her dream made her feel like she was really going to die.
But soon, the feeling of suffocation disappeared, and I could breathe again.
In her subconscious, Yu felt herself entering a bubble, being held by someone, and passing through a plane.
She didn't know how much time had passed before she was finally placed in an embrace that made her feel safe and secure, one she wanted to lean on.
She knew this wasn't a dream; it was something that truly happened after she fell into the sea. However, she was too weak at the time and quickly lost consciousness, leaving her with only a few fragments of memory.
From the Kingdom of Wonders to the present-day Joyful Town, Yu knew very well that she had been rescued.
But who is this person?
I have the answer in my heart, but I dare not believe it.
"You really don't believe he did it?" A voice came, plunging everything in Youmeng into darkness.
In the darkness, Yu tried to find the source of the sound, but failed.
“These past few days, you’ve appeared in my dreams every time. Who are you?” Yu hates her now. She only asks herself again and again whether she doesn’t believe Katakuri, but never actually appears.
His rambling and nonsensical manner is annoying.
"Can't you recognize my voice?"
"..." How could Yu not recognize her own voice? But how could she possibly know who she was based on that?
Changing one's voice isn't impossible.
"Shayoulan?" You didn't know if it was true or not, so she just guessed.
A figure gradually appeared in front of them. It was a girl who looked exactly like Yu, except that she had black hair while Yu had pink hair.
This is... a lucky guess?!
"You really are Sha Yulan?!" Yu originally thought that she would only become Sha Yulan if she returned to that world, but she didn't expect that there were two people inside her.
The girl wore a long dress, dignified and elegant, her face showing no sadness, only a faint smile. "We are one person, but with two consciousnesses."
"Can you hear what I'm thinking?" Yu covered her mouth, making sure she hadn't said anything else.
Sha Youlan explained, "I am inside you, so naturally I can hear your thoughts."
"Then why can't I hear you?"
"Because I didn't think about it in my mind, I just said it out loud."
"..." This statement doesn't seem wrong. "You and I are really one person? Then why can you appear alone? Is this a soul?"
Sha Youlan shook her head, a hint of sadness creeping into her smile. "I am you, but not entirely. You don't have my memories, and the environment and people you grew up in are different from mine, so we are different."
"The things you saw in your dream before, those are all my memories. And the sense of familiarity you felt when you saw Katakuri is also because of me. In our original world, Katakuri is a character in an anime book. The author portrayed him very well, so I like him a lot, and... I feel the same way as him."
"Feeling the same way?" You didn't understand. "Aren't you, no, you're one of us, don't you have a very good older brother?"
Sha Youlan nodded, "My brother is very good, but too good..."
"I am a thinking puppet."
Yu didn't understand, but these words undoubtedly proved that Sha Yulan's life lacked freedom. But how could Shalant treat her like this?!
“My brother and I were both abandoned by our parents. My brother started living alone when he was five years old. When he was eighteen, my parents gave birth to me and handed me over to my brother.”
“My brother hates my parents, but he’s very good to me. Yet he’s afraid I’ll leave like my parents did.”
Yu continued, "So he imprisoned you?"
“No, not at first, until I was ten years old. I stayed overnight at a classmate’s house after school, and I had been looking forward to that day for a long time. I also told my brother that everything was normal at first.”
"The next day when I got home, my brother called in sick for me, but actually he locked me up."
"That's when I found out that my brother was sick. Whenever I made him feel that I was leaving, or that I didn't appear in front of him for too long, he would have an attack, become irritable, and become frightening to me."
