night

Sitting in the cab, Lelouch was studying the nearby charts, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked in the direction of the door.

Appearing at the door was Huang Quan, who had his long hair tied back casually and was dressed in a pure white yukata.

"......" narrowed his eyes slightly, Lu Luxiu subconsciously looked at Huang Quan's forehead, and saw that there was no weird purple light, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw the Lion King in Huang Quan's hand, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I'm going to get out of here...... lowered his eyes slightly, this was the first thing Huang Quan said when he walked into the cockpit.

Lu Luxiu tilted his head and didn't respond, he knew that Huang Quan still had the following, and even the content of the following, he had guessed some of it.

"I'm getting out of here...... But there's one thing...... I care a lot about ......."

Before Huang Quan finished speaking, Lu Luxiu had already placed Helian Feng's compass on the table.

"You want to take the compass with you?" Lowering his head slightly, Lelouch looked at Huang Quan with some amusement.

"This thing can easily find me......" Huang Quan nodded, and then said: "I won't take it for myself, agree on a place, and I will put the compass there......"

"That's a lot of risk. Smiling lightly, Lelouch didn't seem to care much about this matter.

"And you're so sure they're going to look for you?"

"Yes. The pale face was smiling, and Huang Quan's answer did not hesitate.

"I don't know where that confidence comes from...... Sort of...... Instinct it......"

"Instinct...... What an unreliable thing. Holding the compass in his hand, Lelouch smiled slightly.

"I guess, if I don't cooperate, you won't hesitate to fake it and kill me......"

……

Huang Quan didn't say anything, but there was no joke in his eyes.

"You'll agree...... Because putting me on a time bomb like this on the ship, you are the one who is the most uneasy...... The one I don't like the most is you...... Even now, you still haven't integrated into the ship...... Even if everyone is here to go back, you're the only one who will hurt your fellow people in order to go back......"

"It's really a merciless criticism~~~" Lelouch laughed softly!

"But...... Our captain is a show and a side...... Isn't it?"

"Shut up......" The voice was low, and a faint murderous aura emerged from Huang Quan's body.

"Hehe!" said Lu Xiu smiled nonchalantly.

"Smack!" The compass had already been thrown towards Huang Quan, but Lu Luxiu's forceless throw was naturally easily caught by Huang Quan.

"Here!" Mori no Mashima ......" he whispered as he picked up a chart from his desk and pointed to a small island above.

"According to Eliza's nautical diary, this island is a medium-sized island, with unimaginably dense forests, currently undeveloped and unoccupied by pirates, and when you arrive on the island, you land in the natural harbor on the east coast, and then mark the trees with a code to guide me to the compass......"

Handing the chart to Huang Quan, Lelouch picked up another pen and wrote down a string of secret contact passwords.

"That island is densely forested, and if you want to find someone, it's also a needle in a haystack, and you can also cultivate directly on that island. ”

"This ...... You don't have to worry about it......" Glancing at Lu Luxiu, Huang Quan turned around and was about to leave without a trace of hesitation.

"Wait a minute......"

"What else?" Huang Quan raised an eyebrow.

"Of course it's a disguise......," he smiled, and Lelouch pulled out a bundle of hemp rope from the cabinet beside him.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――

"That's how it happened...... Do you believe it or not?" Brushing his hair, Lelouch squinted his eyes and looked at the silent Helian Feng.

"Why don't you believe ......" shrugged his shoulders, Helian Feng said with a smile: "It's very in line with your character." ”

"Character?hehe, this is a disadvantage......" Lu Luxiu sighed softly, and looked at the sea in the distance with some sighs.

"You have a certain understanding of everyone's personality, but to understand you is to start from scratch......"

"I won't harm you~~" smiled, but Helian Feng didn't care about Lu Luxiu's complaints.

"For the sake of your sincerity, I won't hang you from the mast all night......" Helian Feng, who had regained his hearty state, patted Lelouch on the shoulder familiarly.

"I just heard something weird...... That act constituted persecution in its entirety...... Don't you blush?!" Lelouch tugged at the corners of his mouth......

"Hahahaha!" The mood seemed to be much brighter, and Helian Feng passed by Lu Luxiu.

"I say ......," Lelouch said suddenly.

"Huh?" Helian Feng didn't look back.

"If it's someone else's departure...... Are you going to do the same to Huang Quan as you did to Huang Quan......"

……

……

"Of course, why do you ask?"

"I've always been discouraged from having a relationship with someone I work with, because that would affect the proper functioning of the institution...... but Lelouch didn't say it directly.

"Romance?" pushed his glasses so that people couldn't see his eyes.

"Yellow Springs? But...... Is it her I like??hehe...... I don't know~~~"

Raising his head, Helian Feng looked at the bright moon in the sky and stretched his waist fiercely......

"Romance...... I don't have a relationship with ......."

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Now that the search area has been determined, Helian Feng did not have the strength to set sail as much as possible, and the group anchored that night on the medium-sized island called Neuham, which had been developed.

"Those are...... Warships......" Lifting a curtain, Lelouch squinted slightly, looking at the five warships moored not far away.

"It doesn't seem to be coming at us...... Kenshin also saw the warships clearly, the sky was slowly getting brighter, there were already people working on the docks, and the navy was carrying some boxes to the warships one by one.

"That's munitions......" Faxiu stood in the doorway of the cabin, not far enough to stop his sharp gaze.

"It's not coming at us, but what the other party has to face is definitely not a simple role, it seems that we need to go out and investigate. ”

……

……

Lelouch, who felt that the atmosphere was wrong, turned his head back......

Helian Feng and Fa Xiu are already standing at the door in full gear!!

"No! I'm not going to take you two out......" With a black line on his face, Lelouch rushed to the thought of what he had experienced in the Chambord Islands.

These two are absolutely typical troublemakers!

"Don't say it so much~Boy~~~" Pushing his glasses, Helian Feng put one hand on Lu Luxiu's shoulder.

"I feel that your own words are also very unreliable, so let's do it, as the captain of the ship, I can make a cameo appearance as your bodyguard for the time being~~ How about it?"

"Hey, hey, hey, if you want to see the combat power, anyone on the ship can be his bodyguard~ Even Miss Kikyo ......" Fa Xiu didn't want to miss this opportunity to go out, for him, it was really boring to be in such a large space on the ship all day.

"I don't know why...... Although it is true, it hurts self-esteem unusually...... "Turning his head a little sadly, indeed, Lelouxiu's body is ...... It can no longer be described as a simple waste of firewood.

……

But in the end, it was Helian Feng who went out.

Kikyo doesn't like to go out and doesn't have anything to add.

As for Kenshin and Fa Xiu, both of them were a little too conspicuous.

However, thinking of Sanji's bounty order, Helian Feng once felt that in fact, it would not be much of a problem for them to come out, but would Helian Feng say it?

……

Helian Feng, who was thinking about something, suddenly stopped......

"What's wrong?" asked Lelouch strangely, looking around covertly and not finding anything special.

"Shh~" Raising a finger, Helian Feng made a quiet movement.

……

"What did you hear?" After a while, seeing Helian Feng relax, Lu Luxiu asked strangely.

"It's the destination of the navy......" Helian Feng's face was also a little stern......

"Unfortunately...... It seems to be the island of Mori......"
