Late one night as they sailed toward the Giant Kingdom, Katakuri silently entered Bright's room.
He turned into white mochi, seeped in through a gap in the deck, then condensed his body in the darkness.
"Showing up uninvited in the middle of the night isn't very polite, my friend."
Bright opened his eyes, sat up in bed, and spoke lazily.
"Cut the nonsense, Bright." Katakuri's tone was cold, and his attitude far from friendly. "What should we do about this situation?"

If Bright remembered correctly, after going to sea, she had kept proposing to other men. By
