[V3] - Extra 6: Robin's Afternoon Tea
---
Today.
It was a pretty nice day.
So, after a busy day, the intern secretary Robin was lazily sitting beside the office window, elegantly sipping black tea.
The wisps of steam rising from the cup, paired with the warm afternoon sunlight, slowly calmed her heart.
Robin parted her rosy lips slightly, stretched languidly, and let out a soft sigh.
The crisp white office blouse, paired with the short black pencil skirt, perfectly outlined her graceful, curvy figure—
Voluptuous!
Seductive!
She rested her right elbow on the desk, propping up her chin. After a moment, as though something had occurred to her, she turned her head and leisurely gazed at her boss, who was lying back in the executive chair, fast asleep.
What a peaceful day~
If it had been two years ago… she might never have imagined that she—once called a devil child… well, forget it. Even saying that title out loud now made her feel a bit embarrassed.
It was clearly a perfectly normal label—why did it start sounding so weird after coming out of that annoying boss's mouth?
But honestly, she truly never thought that she, once known as the demon of the seas, could ever live such a peaceful life.
A small smile, warm yet slightly quirky, curved Robin's lips.
She thought back to two years ago.
That guy who barged in and, right in front of Crocodile, tried to poach her… opening his mouth with an offer of fifty million, asking her to jump ship!
He painted a grand vision, promised excellent treatment—and yet, to this day… she still hadn't become a permanent employee.
How hateful!
At the time—
He was someone capable of defeating a Warlord of the Sea, and yet he tried to recruit her right under Crocodile's nose!
And the one he tried to poach was her—a criminal wanted by the World Government, the last historian of the Grand Line, a dangerous woman capable of deciphering the Poneglyphs!
And this was all happening in Alabasta…
No matter how she looked at it—
This guy seemed like an ambitious schemer~
Maybe he was after Pluton, just like Crocodile?
That's what she thought back then.
Yet.
Afterwards—
He really did treat her as nothing more than an intern assistant, ordering her around as his historian.
And just like that—
More than two years passed.
Then—
The Beasts Pirates were defeated, the World Government disappeared, and the bounty on her head… was rescinded.
As for the Poneglyphs, she had already read them. And that long-buried history…
A quick search on NinjaNet would bring it right up. It was way too long to explain here, so she'd rather not go into detail!
Aside from being shocked at first when reading it, she gradually felt calm about it.
It was all in the past now. The World Government was gone. Pluton was on display in the World Government Museum, where you could visit for just 200 Berries.
As for Poseidon… just follow the Dragon Palace Kingdom Princess on [Ninstagram] and you'd see her.
She was a wildly popular internet celebrity!
The ocean had become peaceful. Nothing could threaten it anymore!
So why should she keep dwelling on it?
Even her own biography could now be looked up on the NinjaNet Encyclopedia.
The only truly annoying thing was…
[Robin
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Second-in-command of the Yuto Group, personal secretary to Uchiha Yuto!
Once known as the Devil Child, the Witch of Betrayal…]
Ugh!
How could they publish a woman's age like that?!
It was simply too outrageous!
Of course.
After all these years—
Once the ninja world and the ocean's internet merged, she'd learned a lot of things.
Like how her annoying, black-hearted, always-scheming boss was actually from another world, had three wives, and that each of the "three little ones" had a different mother. Their family situation was incredibly complicated!
Not to mention, he seemed to have some sort of ambiguous relationships with the Director of the Konoha Orphanage and a woman from Sunagakure.
The boss…
He's rather indecent~
What a terrible boss!
And as for her—
The little secretary…
At that moment—
Robin couldn't help but recall the novels she'd secretly been reading late at night under the covers…
[The Overbearing President Fell in Love with Me]
[Scheming President and His Secret Secretary]
[President, Haven't You Had Enough Yet?]
…
Her cheeks instantly turned slightly red, and the full, fair thighs outlined by her short skirt squeezed lightly together, crossing over each other.
Then—
She couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, lifted her hand to cover the corner of her mouth, and squinted slightly as she gazed at her boss, who was lying in the office chair with a newspaper draped over himself.
Curled up in the recliner, he occasionally tugged the newspaper around him, rubbing his body for warmth.
He hadn't noticed her yet~
Thinking for a moment… she helplessly reached out her hand. Immediately, two hands extended from Yuto's body, holding a blanket, which she gently laid over him.
Seeing her boss seemingly satisfied and drifting back to sleep, Robin let out a quiet sigh of relief, the corners of her lips once again curving into a faint smile.
She had to admit—
Those novels were pretty entertaining!
Even as a "bad girl" of the seas, she'd read those novels by that famous author "Traveling Toad," and they'd made her blush furiously.
She absolutely must not let anyone find out!
"As the boss's intern secretary, I have to keep a close eye on the boss~" Robin murmured softly. "One bad girl like me is enough. I can't let any other bad girls get close!"
Especially that scheming "bad girl" who was trying to approach him… CP9 agent—Kalifa!
That bad girl dolled herself up in flashy outfits every day, dressed extremely provocatively, and deliberately wore glasses… In front of the boss, she was either bending over or crouching down, and she'd constantly talk bad about Robin to him!
She was a cunning bad girl!
Robin absolutely needed to stay vigilant!
After cursing that wicked woman silently in her heart a few times, Robin once more wore a faint smile, then comfortably picked up the cup of black tea on her desk and took another sip.
However—
She still felt a bit regretful~
When would she finally become a permanent employee?
At that moment—
The door opened~
Robin seemed to hear someone coming in. She gracefully glanced at the boss, who was napping sideways and smacking his lips, then smiled gently and murmured to herself, "It looks like… my leisurely afternoon tea is over!"
…
It truly had been a pleasant afternoon!
Yuto felt a slight itch on his face. He slowly opened his eyes, stretched lazily, then picked up the blanket draped over him. With a helpless look, he gazed at Yumi, who was scratching his face, and scooped her up. "Are you back?"
"Mm~ I'm back! Yumi has already woken up from her nap!" Yumi sat obediently in her dad's arms and nodded. "But Dad has just been sleeping the whole time!"
"Is that so~" Yuto rubbed his face against Yumi's, making the little girl giggle. Then he glanced around… Nearby were Robin, leisurely sipping her tea, and Kozuki Hiyori.
Except… the atmosphere seemed strangely quiet!
A bit too quiet!
Then—
"Where's that group of White Zetsu?"
Why weren't they here?
Weren't they always following Yumi around?
Especially that 9527… Good thing Yumi was his own daughter, and Hanabi was also keeping an eye on things; otherwise, sooner or later, she'd be led astray by that group of White Zetsu whose heads were full of "Balala" nonsense!
Just as he finished speaking—
Kozuki Hiyori turned her head toward him as well, smiling gently, with elegant poise and a soft voice as she said, "9527-san received a phone call and went out~" As she said this, her brows furrowed slightly. "It seems he headed toward Kuri. I'm not sure what happened!"
"That bunch of lunatics… Forget it! They're crazy half the time!" Yuto waved his hand dismissively.
Of course he knew what that group of White Zetsu was up to~
They'd seen how Black Zetsu in the other ninja world had failed, so now they'd decided to change tactics and start flattering his daughter instead!
But he had to admit—
They were a bunch of filial sons~
"Maybe… I should find a chance to figure out how to release their Mom, too?"
After all, those White Zetsu were indeed quite loyal and diligent!
And honestly, letting her out wouldn't cause much trouble!
[Forget it, I'll check on it myself when I go over for Obito's wedding in a while~]
Just as he finished thinking that—
The ringtone of his phone suddenly blared.
Yuto answered the call immediately. When he heard White Zetsu's voice, his face showed a flicker of surprise. Then… after a short pause—
He turned to look at Kozuki Hiyori beside him with a rather odd expression.
"???" Hiyori froze when she saw Yuto's strange look and asked curiously, "Yuto-san, is something the matter?"
"It's nothing… just that someone…" Yuto pinched Yumi's cheek and said with a smile, "is questioning Yumi's qualifications to be the Shogun."
As the words fell—
Kozuki Hiyori's brows knitted together, her expression turning serious. The imposing aura of the Kozuki princess instantly radiated from her. "Who dares to question this?! Yumi-sama has already been acknowledged by the citizens of Wano! Was it 9527-san who discovered someone trying to cause trouble?" Then she looked seriously at Yuto and said firmly, "To protect the dignity of the Shogun, we must administer appropriate punishment! Have they found out who it is?"
"It seems it's your… brother."
"???"
