Eric smiled and said, "Welcome back."
"I'm back, Eric." Esdeath walked around the table, not caring about other people's eyes, and sat down on Eric's lap.
"..." Egil twitched the corners of his mouth and tried his best to control his facial muscles. Scathach narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing more, and Chitong did not give any other reaction.
Seeing Hiyori's hesitant expression, Eric asked her a question: "Where are Kurumi, Kurotomi and Akin? How are those samurai?"
"The three of them stayed in the Rabbit Bowl to imprison the defeated. After all, there were so many prisoners. I thought it was troublesome, so I came back first." Esdeath stretched out his arms and put his arms around Eric's neck: "This battle is really boring, big Some warriors can’t even hold back my domineering power.”
Hearing this, Hiyori breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that not too many people died.
"Hiyori, don't feel relieved too early." As if hearing Hiyori's sigh of relief, Eric said calmly: "I can't release them without charge."
Hiyori's heart suddenly rose to her throat again: "Sir Eric, what do you decide to do with those samurai?"
Eric said coldly: "...the conspirators will be sentenced to ten years of hard work and then be deported overseas."
"Sir Eric, can you please..."
"If the judgment is based on normal law, they will all be ordered." Eric interrupted Hiyori's plea: "I have spared their lives for your sake, Hiyori."
"You can visit the samurai from time to time, but I will never forgive their crimes, otherwise the country of Wano will inevitably be in rebellion, and the unlucky ones will be ordinary civilians."
"This is already an extremely lenient punishment." Reiju caressed Hiyori's back and comforted: "If it had been left in other countries, the king would have already sentenced him to death."
"I understand." Hiyori put three fingers of his hands together, placed them on the floor in front of him, bowed his head and saluted, "Thank you, Lord Eric, for sparing their lives."
"Don't add me, sir, just call me Eric." Eric said, "There is no status level between me and Hiyori."
"No -" Hiyori refused: "Because Lord Eric rescued Wano Country and liberated the people of Wano Country, I must add the word "Sir" to show my gratitude."
"...It's up to you." Eric had a headache. Although Hiyori seemed powerless, her heart was extremely strong, and it was difficult to change once she was determined.
Hiyori stood up to leave, and Eric gave Chiron a look, indicating that he would protect Hiyori and go to the Rabbit Bowl.
Chiron smiled gently, nodded and left.
After this battle, all the samurai lurking in various parts of Wano Country were wiped out, and they could no longer cause any trouble.

"We still lack manpower." Eric sighed and rubbed his sore temples.
Mijiu obediently handed Eric a glass of juice: "Darling, take a rest. You have been working for a long time."
"Thank you." Eric took two sips, causing the juice in the cup to drop by half.
Baby-5 on the side looked like he had been preempted, with regret written all over his face.
Egil crossed his legs and said, "Although I really want you to rest, looking at the number of documents on the table... it doesn't seem possible?"
"You guys go do what you like." Eric glanced around with a wry smile: "You don't have to stay here with me to waste time."
"It is my job to serve Eric." Baby-5 spoke first: "I am your personal maid."
Egil reluctantly lifted up a strand of hair: "I can't go to sea. I'm the same wherever I am."
"As long as I'm with Darling, I'm very happy!" Mijiu squeezed over, and Eric had to move aside a little, so they sat on the same chair together.
Now, Eric, who has experienced many battles, will naturally not be blushing because of this ambiguous interaction. After Eric thought for a while, he suddenly turned to Miku and asked:
"Miku, do you still want to be an idol?"
"Be an idol?" Meijiu was stunned, as if recalling sad past events, her white teeth gently bit her lower lip: "Now I just want to sing for Darling."
"Really, forget it then." Eric immediately gave up his thoughts.
"Darling, do you want me to be your idol?" Mijiu's light purple eyes peered at Eric from bottom to top, wanting to find out the answer for herself.
"No, Mijiu's thoughts are the most important." Eric replied with a smile: "I know that you were betrayed by fans before. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it..."
"I want to be an idol!"
"Meijiu?" Eric was startled.
Mijiu snuggled tightly against Eric and smiled: "It doesn't matter, because I have Darling with me now!"
"Because at that time, you made an appointment with me." Mijiu opened her mouth slightly: "You said you would always be my fan. If I become an idol for you, then that's no problem. Only you... can make me I trust.”
As Miku spoke, she hugged Eric's arm harder and harder.
"Even if other people don't like my singing, as long as you stand in the audience, that's enough!"
"Miku..." Eric opened his arms to hug Miku back.
"Uh huh~!" The other two people in the office coughed heavily, startling Eric and Mijiu who were immersed in their world.
If they didn't interrupt them forcefully, looking at the posture of these two people, they would definitely start chewing as if there was no one around.
"But, Eric, why did you suddenly think of letting Miku become an idol?" Egil looked at Miku up and down: "Although Miku is indeed a peerless beauty and sings very well."
"Oh, this." Eric crossed his arms in order to alleviate the gaffe just now: "Because the country of Wano needs idols!"
"?" A question mark slowly appeared above the heads of the other three people.
"After Wano Country experienced river pollution, desolate land, food control and increasingly heavy taxes, the people here lacked a spirit."
“Although the money-sharing and clothing-exchanging activities have revitalized them, they cannot be done too much, otherwise it will breed laziness among the people.”
"I found that there are still shops here. While cracking down on these red light industries, it will make the entertainment activities here even more scarce."
"So I decided to add an entertainment model to enrich the entertainment industry of Wano!" Eric held Miku's tender hands in his palms: "It just so happens that I have a peerless beautiful girl here, and she has a singing voice!"
"Darling~" Mijiu shook Eric's hands back movedly.
"If you were alone, you would be afraid of men, right?" Eric smiled: "So I decided to form an idol group."
"Eh?" Mijiu widened her eyes.
"I plan to let Miku form an idol group with Wendy and Porchi." Eric looked directly into Miku's beautiful light purple eyes: "Is that okay?"
"Porchi seems to have the idea of becoming an idol." Miku tilted her head cutely: "But will Wendy agree? That child is very shy, right?"
"Maybe?" Eric wasn't sure either: "After all, don't girls like beautiful clothes and a glamorous stage?"
"That's it..." Miku clapped her hands as if remembering something: "I'll go find them both!"
Meijiu left the office in a hurry.
"Ah~" Egil also stood up with a seductive attitude: "I want to go find Leonardo da Vinci. Isn't my other laser cannon ready yet?"
"Da Vinci is currently planning the factory area and designing waste gas and sewage treatment plants. I'm afraid he won't have time to design and manufacture laser cannons."
"Really~" Egil said dissatisfied: "Then I can only go and have a drink. Baby-5, go have a drink with me~"
"E-Eric?" Baby-5 looked at Eric as if asking for help.
Gu Dou
Eric smiled and said: "Baby-5, you have done your usual work perfectly. Just have a good rest today."
"Yes." With Eric's permission, Baby-5 followed Egil and left the office.
"Ha~" Looking at the empty room, Eric sighed softly and devoted his body and mind to work again.
"Ara, I have a good job~" A charming female voice suddenly came from behind.
"Come to check the post?" Eric reached back to fish it out and pulled Kuang San into his arms: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Ara~" Kuang San raised his eyebrows, his charming heterochromatic eyes locked on her lover's face, the shock wave of love swayed her eyes: "Erik-san~, but you have to give me some rewards for working so hard. ~."
Eric suddenly lowered his head and pursed his two cherry blossom-colored lips.
After a while, it wasn't until Kuang San gently tapped Eric's chest that Eric stopped attacking.
Kurumi took a deep breath, then put her fingers on her lips, as if recalling what had just happened.
Eric chuckled and asked, "No more rewards?"
"Of course this reward is not enough." Kuang San lightly bit Eric's earlobe and blew into his ear: "It's just that someone is here. Remember to make it up to me tonight."
…
"Eh?! You want me to be an idol?" Bolqi put her hands on both sides of her cheeks: "I hate it~ Is she so good-looking?"
Eric hesitated to speak, his expression was a little tangled, and after all, he did not say the words "You are not as beautiful as the other two".
Wendy was a little hesitant. After all, she was very introverted. If she was asked to sing in the center of the stage with tens of thousands of people watching, it would be a good situation if she didn't faint with her eyes rolling in circles!
"Wendy, if you don't want to, forget it."
But unexpectedly, Wendy would whisper: "Brother Eric, I want to try."
"Huh?" Eric frowned and said, "Wendy, you don't have to force it."
Wendy shook her head: "After seeing the poor spirit of the people of Wano, I also wanted to help. Unfortunately, I can't do anything else except move the factory and treat the injured. And - I want to help Brother Eric."
"Yeah -" Mijiu's eyes sparkled, and she stretched out her arms to hug Wendy tightly: "Wendy who is working hard is so cute!"
"Um, um, Sister Miku, it's a little itchy~"
"I hate it~" Bolqi felt a little frustrated when she saw that she was excluded from the two of them.
"Oh, our Miss Magician is a little angry~" Mijiu smiled evilly, moved her fingers flexibly, and approached Bolki who looked unhappy.
"What, what do you want to do?!" The crisis team in Bolqi's brain was giving on-the-spot advice, asking her to escape from the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"Open, open the door——!" With a creak, the air door behind them opened, and a different space appeared in front of several people.
"Ah——" Without using the angel, Miku just opened her mouth, and the invisible voice bound Bolqi like a rope, making Bolqi unable to move.
"B-hate~!"
"Where to run~!" Mijiu closed her arms and hugged Bolqi tightly, and used her long white fingers to attack Bolqi's itchy hole wildly.
"Ah hahaha - I hate it~" It was a feeling she had never experienced before. Bolqi couldn't help but make a strange sound from her throat, which made Wendy blushing at the side.
The intimate play between the girls finally came to an end.
Eric asked: "Mijiu, would you like to share your lyrics with Wendy and Porgy?"
"Of course!" Mijiu clasped her hands together, the look in her eyes shining brighter than ever: "Although I am afraid of past experiences, I still like singing. I can share my favorite songs with my companions and sing them together. What else can be better than this? Something happier?”
Eric took out a piece of paper and handed it to Mijiu: "You can take a look at this song. I think it should be nice to sing, but I don't know how to write music scores..."
Mijiu took over the lyrics and couldn't help but sing a cappella: "I have a gift I want to present to you.
It was on a lonely night
It will still shine in the distance
sky full of stars
Although it is difficult to understand
Despite being ostracized
…”
Wendy and Porgy also pricked up their ears and listened carefully to Miku's singing:
"Even though we have nothing in our hands
But we can hold each other tightly because of this
Please don’t be confused when you are alone
Because I will never let go at any time
…”
As she sang this, Mijiu couldn't help but choke up, and her voice became ethereal. The sweet voice seemed to penetrate the eardrums and talk directly to the right side of everyone's brain.
"But I've noticed
With you by my side
Want to protect something
make me stronger
In order to make your colors worth showing off
…”
It took a while after the song ended before Eric and others remembered to applaud.
"Darling, did you write this song?" Meijiu hugged Eric excitedly: "It's really amazing!"
Unexpectedly, Eric traveled to the world of One Piece and could actually experience being a copycat. Isn't this a golden finger in the city or entertainment?
"Ahem," the tone-deaf Eric shamelessly admitted, "This song should cheer up the people of Wano."
Wendy was a little worried: "Can I sing such a good song?"
"You can definitely do it!" Team pet Xia Lulu encouraged: "Wendy is so cute."
"Singing has nothing to do with being cute." Wendy's face dropped.
"Wendy, Porchi." Miku put her arms around Wendy and Porchi: "We will definitely become a super idol group! Don't worry."
Eric asked: "Mijiu, after practicing for a month, can you come out and sing this song?"
"Of course, easily!" Mijiu clenched her fists: "I will train Wendy and Porchi to practice singing!"
