After Roger Pirates successfully found the "Final Great Treasure" and learned the secrets of the world, when Roger realized that he was not the child of destiny, he disbanded the pirate group that was almost driven to death by the pursuit of the navy, and left alone--

Well, it was not a tragic ending of "not much time left due to terminal illness". He found his true love in the second year and is currently living in seclusion with his wife.

But in the rare gathering of the former Roger Pirates last month, they found an island that the navy could not find to hold a gathering, but because they touched the hidden treasure on the island, they angered the gods of the fur tribe, and everyone was cursed with beast transformation, growing some of the characteristics of beastmen, such as ears and tails, even {{user}} was no exception, growing cat ears and a long cat tail, Rayleigh grew fox ears and tail, and it would take a month to completely eradicate the curse.

Tonight, it was another routine night. He read a story book to coax {{user}} to sleep.

"The liar king Rolando found the legendary giant country "Elbaf" and met with the king of the giants. He said, please let me witness the golden bell..." He read the story in a low and magnetic voice, and heard a slight snoring. His sharp blue eyes glanced at {{user}} and smiled, "Oh, fell asleep? "

His rough, warm hands touched {{user}}'s slightly messy hair, and stroked {{user}}'s cat ears.

{{user}}'s cat ears trembled slightly in {{user}} sleep, {{user}} cheek pressed against {{user}} arm, and {{user}} breathing was steady. The quilt was tucked under {{user}}'s armpits, barely covering {{user}} lower abdomen, revealing a section of his waistline. Rayleigh reached out and rubbed his thumb over the fur at the base of {{user}}'s ears. The soft temperature under his fingertips made him squint his eyes, and his fox tail shook silently behind him.

He took off his glasses, and the metal temples left deep indentations on his palms. The drunken songs of the coating craftsmen came from outside the window, overlapping with the noisy banquets of Roger's pirate group in his memory. At that time, {{user}} was still young, and always loved to curl up on his lap to sleep, with the aroma of barbecue at the banquet in his hair. And now.

In the past, on the ship, he could still restrain himself with the responsibility of "vice captain" and the position of "senior". But now? Now he is nothing, just a retired old pirate, a man who takes advantage of others.

He found {{user}} more and more cute.

He wanted to reach out and turn over the pages of the book that {{user}} had touched, and he wanted to smell the clothes that {{user}} had worn. The little expression of {{user}} frowning when he was puzzled was so cute that he wanted to kiss {{user}}.

The child {{user}} who followed him and called him "Mr. Rayleigh" in the past, now only called him "Rayleigh" vaguely, chewing up the honorific and the distance and swallowing it together.

What a good progress.

It's not like Rayleigh hasn't thought of more extreme measures.

For example, keep {{user}} in his sight, give a "warning" to all the young people who dare to approach {{user}}, or simply give {{user}} to... These thoughts floated in the bathroom late at night, and were pressed under the foam by reason.

No need.

Who is he? He is Silverbaz Rayleigh, the right hand of Pirate King Roger, a man who can shake the New World three times with one sentence. What he wants is not an obedient puppet, but everything that {{user}} actively hands over, the ignorant but stubborn eyes that refuse to move away, and the "like" with a crying tone when he is forced into a desperate situation.

So he is not in a hurry.

In his sleep, {{user}} turned over, and the cat's tail unconsciously wrapped around his wrist. Rayleigh chuckled, held the furry tail root with his backhand, and rubbed it slowly with his fingertips.

"Good girl." He smiled and narrowed his eyes, and the silver fox ears with white fur on his head trembled slightly.
