The Lake of Stars is like a dream decorated with fireflies. Alicia on the deck had no time to appreciate the scenery in front of her. She just leaned on the railing and took a deep breath of the night air, hearing the sound of her heartbeat coming from her chest. She began to wonder about the possibility that Sanji liked her, but she also worried that it was just her delusion.

Reason reminds Alicia to stay calm, but sensibility cheers for joy. Her heart seemed to be under a tight spell, hot and dull at the same time. It was also divided into two halves. One half was shouting "Don't be obsessed and don't think nonsense", while the other half was shouting "What the hell, go ahead." . It's too over the top. This bastard Sanji is really over the top for her.

"Fuck you." Alicia held her forehead and complained to herself in a low voice. As long as Sanji was not her partner, she would have rushed away early in the morning. The thing is, he's one of the most important companions. How is she going to rush? What should we do after flushing? If she had misunderstood, Sanji would be very troubled. Even if it is not a misunderstanding, if one day there is a breakup, how will the other partners position themselves? Do you want them to look at themselves and Sanji every day? It's so embarrassing just thinking about it.

"Little Alicia?"

Alicia knew that the person behind her was Sanji without turning around, and she rubbed her face sadly. After Sanji walked to stand next to Alicia, she turned to look at him, looking depressed.

"Why did you come here?"

"Eh?" Sanji didn't expect Alicia's reaction, and suddenly became a little confused, "Little Alicia, did I do something wrong?"

"...Really." Alicia closed her eyes and sighed, "It's nothing, it's just that my mind is messed up right now and I want to stay by myself."

Sanji raised his hand as if to touch Alicia, but then put it down in frustration because he was worried that he would be disliked.

"If little Alicia is upset about something, I'm always here and ready to listen."

The gentle Sanji is simply fatal to Alicia who is struggling with her own thoughts. She looked at the seriousness in Sanji's eyes, her heart trembled slightly, and her breathing rate became erratic.

"Do you want to listen?" Alicia summoned the courage to ask.

"Of course." Sanji smiled lightly, feeling trusted, and his blue eyes seemed to melt people.

Alicia pressed the thumb of her right hand nervously on the palm of her left hand, and her eyes turned to the Lake of Stars and froze there. After a long silence, she took a deep breath, and her slightly hoarse singing voice sounded on the deck.

“[Please come and see me more often],

You who say these words,

I was shocked and moved with pity,

Your messy bangs when you are sleeping soundly,

Stealing my attention..."

Under Alicia's singing, Sanji's smile gradually disappeared, and his lips unconsciously pursed into a line.

"I tried my best to suppress my inner feelings,

The feeling becomes stronger and stronger,

As if I could lose at any moment,

Lost to the feelings that were just formed..."

Sanji took his hands away from his trouser pockets and anxiously put a cigarette into his mouth.

"The continuous brilliance is in vain,

But I am not afraid at all,

Because of your quick smile,

It makes me hallucinate [about me like this]..."

Sanji held the cigarette harder with his fingers, suppressing the sourness and almost boiling anger in his chest. For a moment, he even had the idea that it would be a good idea to run away like this.

"The illusion I keep chasing,

One day it will disappear,

But it still looks beautiful to me,

So I just sing this song for you. "(Shiina Ringo, "poltergeists/Supernatural Phenomena")

The song ended and the deck fell silent again.

"It's so sad, even though the melody sounds so cheerful." Sanji's Adam's apple rolled several times before he said with a nonchalant smile, "I can't see Katakuri anymore. Little Alicia is also lonely, right?"

"Huh?" The anxiety in Alicia's heart instantly disappeared. After doing it for a long time, this is Sanji's reaction? That's it? ! Is it because he doesn't understand the charm or is he simply not interested in her?

I didn’t understand, but I was shocked!

"Is this a confession song? Next time you talk to Katakuri on the phone, sing it to him. Otherwise, I will be helpless when I see little Alicia with such a sad face."

"..." Alicia's blood pressure soared. Listen? Is this human language? Is this idiot trying to increase her anger level? Is it still possible to show off secretly and be ignored? Can this be tolerated? No one can bear it.

"You can be brave, little Alicia. I will support you." Sanji lowered his eyes and said something against his will while staring blankly at the ashes that fell to the ground after the scarlet red was extinguished, and his heart was like ashes. Strength sinks.

"Damn your bravery! Damn your support! Shut up!" Alicia was in an extremely bad mood. Huo Dadi pressed Sanji's head and beat him wildly, spitting out fragrance while beating him. "Sanji, you silly cup! Dasha Cup! Super Dasha Cup! Silly Cup King!"

Alicia panted and threw down Sanji, whose head was swollen into a pig's head, and was about to leave from the deck. The cigarette that had been broken into two parts in Sanji's mouth fell on the deck. He grabbed Alicia in panic and asked tentatively:

"...Not Katakuri?"

Alicia turned around with a low pressure all over her body and grabbed Sanji's shirt collar. She looked like she was going to kill him at the next moment, and said with a sinister look in her eyes:

"Katakuri? If I were Katakuri, I wouldn't sing such a song that implies unrequited love! Wouldn't it be better to just walk into the wedding hall with him?"

"Then... that was a song that was sung to -?" Sanji's tone became more cautious.

"..." So angry. No, you can't be angry, definitely not with a fool. Alicia let go of Sanji's collar and took a deep breath, looking at him with a smile on her face, "Sa, who is this song going to be sung to?"

Alicia, who advised herself not to be angry, turned around and became angry like a pufferfish. Sure enough, you can't be hot-headed. Once you get hot-headed, you will put yourself in an embarrassing situation. Sanji is a bitch, if she confesses her love to him again, she will curse herself to become a big fool!

"Wait, Alicia, wait!" Sanji finally came to his senses and a guess flashed through his mind. He caught up with Alicia in a few steps, and he was so anxious that he didn't even use the term "little Alicia". His sweaty big hands hurriedly grasped Alicia's wrist. Sanji's heart seemed to be filled with a rabbit, and it was beating non-stop. "I'm sorry, you can think of me as an idiot and a paranoid. Even if I'm shameless, I And I also want to think of myself as someone who’s actually listening to that song.”

"It's not for Sanji." Alicia muttered angrily with an indifferent look on her face, "Who wants to sing for you? Big idiot."

"Please, don't be angry with me." Sanji looked like a puppy, his big hand holding Alicia's wrist slid down, and he gently opened her palm, and his five fingers passed through hers, full of attachment. Buckle up, "Tell me I'm who you're singing about."

Alicia held her breath and looked at Sanji, trying her best to ignore the two of them holding hands intimately, and remained silent. Sanji was not discouraged. At this moment, he was like a prisoner in the trial hall, a gambler on the tightrope of the cliff, abandoning all worries to bet on an answer, waiting for the dust to settle. He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Alicia's forehead, his eyes were deep and his tone was pleading.

"Is it me?"

"...I don't want it to be you." Alicia bit her lower lip and compromised, "But it is you."

Sanji's head was buzzing and he lost all ability to think, but his expression reacted before his brain. The corners of his mouth were raised crazily, and every feature on his face was smiling. He looked like a silly son of a landlord, or a silly husky.

"Dream?"

"I wouldn't mind beating you up again."

"I'm so happy." After Sanji's thinking ability gradually returned, the soulless look on his face became a little more restrained. He and Alicia tightened their interlocked hands, and confidently moved their arms to hold her in his arms. Thinking of the lyrics in the song Alicia sang, the curve of the corner of her mouth fell unconsciously, "It's still a little sad. I'm sorry to make you so uneasy, but it is definitely not an illusion. I have always liked you very much, my favorite. .”
