William POV:

The girl looked like she was twelve, she was skinny with long shaggy hair, her eyes were distinctly tall and round, similar to those of a koala. Of course she was Koala

Hi. I said.

She looked up to see me, she looked shy and a little scared, I forgot that I still had not removed the effects of the potion, after removing the effects, I became a child of six again when she had seen me become a child, she had become stupefied, she had not answered me.

I repeated, hello, my name is William, what's your name?

She said with a small voice, m...My name is K. Koala.

Nice name Koala, you do not have to be afraid, I do not bite, I said with humor.

She did not answer; I think she was not used to this kind of interaction.

Ok, you want to come with me; I'll help you become cleaner and buy some clothes.

She was hesitant, after all, her whole life was being slave, and I think that restoring confidence with her without pressure will not be easy.

You come with me I'll get you food and a house, but you'll help me with daily business.

She nodded.

I hold out my hand and tell her that she must hold me so that we can reach fishmen island, I also give her a coral that makes air bubbles so that she can breathe outside the ship.

After some hesitation, she gives me her hand, I hold her and we go towards the direction of the island.

We arrive, I show her the way to Hatchan house, his house is big enough, and as he joined the crew of Fisher, the house became quite empty, I show her a room telling her that it will be his room, then I show her the bathroom, I told her to take a shower, then a bath, me while I go buy some clothes.

After buying some clothes, I put them down next to the bathroom door; I call Koala telling her that I will leave to do something, and that I'll be back in an hour or two.

I could hear a little hmm.

After that, I headed to Ryugu Palace, went to talk with Neptune about the mission, and talked with Otohime about Fisher's ideas.

After talking to them, I went to the house.

Upon entering, I saw that the house was clean enough, which was quite strange, it is rare that Hatchan or I do housework.

And then a little twelve years girl get out of one of the rooms, when she saw me, she lowered her head while saying: 'happy to see you again William-Sama, I will do everything I can to help you in your daily business, I will be obedient, I will not stop working and I will not cry'.

I was shocked, what was this joke, because it was not funny, and then I remembered what Aladin had said in the manga, he said that the ancient slaves were beaten when they were not doing their work, or that they were crying, ahhh I think it will be more complicated to remove these ideas from Koala's head, but it will come with time, and she will become a woman who isn't afraid of anything, a strong woman.

I saw her in the eyes while saying to her: 'Koala you are free now you do not have to be afraid or to work without rights, you are no longer a slave, as I told you, you will work for me, it's your duty, my duty is to lodge you, to give you food, and to pay you at the end of the month, so never call me William-Sama, you'll call me now, William, and you can cry any way you like, if you feel uncomfortable you tell me, do not be obedient, be the way you are, and you can talk to me whenever you want, just see me us a friend.

Ehem, okay, William, we'll be friends, 'she said with tears in her eyes and with a broad smile.

I smiled, then said: 'Ok it's the end of the emotional moment, why not make you visit the forest, it's a beautiful forest, and it will change your ideas, okay you come'.

Okay, here we go, she says

She became more energetic, I don't know if it will be good for me or not.....

After the little discussion, we went to see the forest, Koala was very happy to see all these corals and all the marine animals.

At the end of the year, a birth made the happiness of all fishmen, especially Neptune, yes a princess was born, princess Shirahoshi was born.

And then the years have passed, and now I'm ten years old, and a lot of things have happened since my meeting with Koala.
