Chapter 183

night

There was a light rain in the sky.

This kind of drizzle seems to be a rarity on the Great Route, which is known for its changeable and extreme weather.

At this time, in the dark sea, a medium-sized ship floated there quietly.

It was the Black Flag that had just parted with Vegapunk.

At the top of the cabin, a parasol was propped up, and thanks to this mild drizzle, after all, if the sea breeze is strong, the umbrella is useless.

Under the umbrella, a low table, a pot of sake, and two simply processed sea fish, this small world in the rain curtain is really very comfortable.

"This cup is a celebration of your recovery. Smiling slightly, the red-haired Kenshin picked up his small cup and drank it slowly.

"Alas~~Sake doesn't taste good~~" Helian Feng frowned a little dissatisfied, but then he still laughed.

"Well~Talking is better than nothing~" also picked up a small cup and drank it all, but it was much more heroic than Kenshin's way of drinking.

"After all, I just recovered from my injury, according to Miss Kikyo, it's best not to touch the wine, the sake is already unruly~" Picking up the wine jug, Kenshin filled it again with Helian Feng and himself.

"Then there is no way, after all, the doctor has the greatest ......" Holding his cheek with one hand, the chopsticks turned quickly between his fingers, and Helian Feng shrugged his shoulders.

……

Silent......

Neither of them spoke, just quietly watched, the rain curtain outside.

"Unconsciously, it's been so long since I've been in this world...... "The first to speak was Kenshin, holding his small cup, looking at the rippling wine in the small cup, Kenshin said with some sighs.

"It's been a long time since you said that, huh! What's wrong? Homesick?" Hehe smiled, Helian Feng tilted his head and looked at Jian Xin.

Shrugging his shoulders, the smile on Kenshin's face did not change at all, but with the wine in the glass, his eyes fell on the scar on his face in the reflection.

"It's true that I'm homesick, but, in other words, there are only a few people on the ship who don't want to go back. ”

"How can there be people who don't want to go home!Ahaha!You said you laughed~~~" smiled and waved his hand, Helian Feng looked like "This joke is not funny at all".

"Do you want to go back?" The next moment Helian Feng spoke, Kenshin's rhetorical question had already been asked.

"Uh......" The smile froze, and Helian Feng immediately turned his head, looking at the sky at forty-five degrees.

"......" Kenshin didn't say anything, just looked at Helian Feng, looking like he knew it was like this.

"Well~~ I don't want to go back, it's boring over there~~" Putting the chopsticks back on the table, Helian Feng said with a bored face.

"It doesn't matter what it is~~ After all, it's a person's will, if Helian doesn't want to go back, no one will say anything...... Or rather, it's better if you don't want to go back. Shrugging, Kenshin sipped his wine.

"Uh...... Exactly?" After pulling the most, Helian Feng also picked up his cup, glanced at Jian Xin with some vigilance, and muttered, "Sure enough, I always feel that you have a purpose...... It's become insidious, Brother Kenshin~~"

"Where, where~ I have been distressed for a long time before making a decision...... "The smiling face of Mr. Good who has not changed for thousands of years.

Kenshin picked up the flask again and poured it for the two of them, and the rest of the wine was just enough to fill two glasses.

"Let me guess then...... What are you for?" frowned, Helian Feng seemed to be thinking.

……

After a while, seeing that Helian Feng was still frowning and thinking, Jian Xin sighed softly.

"Miss Huang Quan, it's a good ......"

didn't wait for Kenshin to finish speaking, but was interrupted by Helian Feng.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Helian Feng picked up the wine glass at this time and raised it in front of Kenshin.

"Let's not talk about this matter~~"

……

"If you don't want to talk. With a slight sigh, Kenshin shrugged his shoulders and picked up his cup as well.

"I just want to say, cherish the people in front of you, don't miss it. ”

"Bang!" the sound of crisp wine glasses colliding......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Day 2

daybreak

"Bump, bump, bump!" a rhythmic knock sounded at the door.

"Miss Huangquan, it's time for breakfast~" Mr. Kenshin is informing the crew on the ship to have dinner.

But Huang Quan, who was supposed to get up early for morning exercises, still didn't have a trace of movement in the room.

"Ahhh~" scratched the back of his head suspiciously, and Kenshin was a little distressed.

"Miss Huang Quan~~" Keep calling!

"Kenshin?stop arguing~~" An emotionless voice came from the door.

"Are you awake?" Kenshin's spirit shook.

"Ah~~Just let me die here~~"

"Don't say such dangerous things!"

……

……

"Miss Huangquan~~"

Kenshin's voice came faintly from outside the door.

But in the dimly lit room, the girl named Isayama Huangquan was like a hamster, and the whole person was hidden in the quilt, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, revealing only a lifeless pretty face.

"Miss Huangquan~~"

Kenshin's voice persevered.

"Uh...... I'll go over right away...... "It's really annoying, Huang Quan can only reluctantly leave Jian Xin perfunctory first."

……

"Hey~~" Listening to Kenshin's footsteps leaving, Huang Quan sighed again.

"It's so dark~" Feeling the dimness of the light in the room, Huang Quan frowned.

"Uh............ Hehe...... "Like a caterpillar, the yellow spring wrapped in the quilt squirmed towards the window.

Good thing the window is right next to the bed.

Very unwillingly, he poked out his jade arm from the quilt, opened the window, grabbed the windowsill, and raised his body.

"Original...... Is it raining...... Hey~~~" sighed again.

……

……

Huang Quan seemed to be looking out the window in a daze, motionless.

"Ahhh

Whew!

Huang Quan suddenly lifted the quilt and stood directly on the bed.

"This is practice! This is training!!" said with a stern face, as if only ascetics should say it.

Huang Quan finally barely cheered up.

The ship's clothes, tied his long hair into a ponytail casually, and walked out the door.

"Bang!" the wooden door was smashed by the yellow spring.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"With this kind of light rain, it doesn't look like there should be too strong a sea breeze...... It won't affect the ...... of sailing" At the dining table, Lelouch was still holding his small notebook and comparing it with the charts of this sea area.

"Ahhh

"I said, you should pay more attention to the eating direction......" frowned, looking at the oil stains splashed on the corner of the map, Lelouch looked at Fa Xiu with dissatisfaction.

"Eating is the most wonderful exercise that God has given you!" hurriedly threw down a sentence, and Fa Xiu continued to stuff it into his mouth.

"Don't give me the definition of movement to tamper with......" pulled the corners of his mouth, and a green tendon rose on Lelouxiu's forehead.

"Uh!" Lelouch didn't pay attention, and the juice splattered out on the other side, hitting him directly on his clothes.

"You should pay attention to me!!"

His face had turned black to the bottom of the pot, and Lelouch looked to the other side, where Edward, who was sitting there, was also eating at a speed that was not inferior to that of Faxiu.

"Why are you sitting here when you don't need to eat?" Edward's voice was a little indistinct as he chewed something in his mouth, but Lelouch could still interpret it accurately.

"My own will...... I've never had such a strong urge to kill......" The corners of his mouth twitched, and Lelouch covered his face, his tone low and terrifying.

It's a pity that Edward and Faxiu are not the ones who will be frightened by him.

On the other side of the long table, the two girls of the two ceremonies and the bellflower were eating quietly, but the two ceremonies frowned slightly, looking a little worried.

Others, there are Helian Feng, who eats not much better than Fa Xiu and Edward, and Kenshin, who was in charge of breakfast this morning.

Click~click~~

Footsteps came from the cabin......

For a while, although they were still eating, everyone at the table quietly focused their attention on the person who came.

"Good morning, Huang Quan!" With a hearty smile, Helian Feng greeted Huang Quan, who appeared at the door.

"Morning ...... Good morning ......" replied in a low voice, and Huang Quan slowly came to the table and sat down opposite Helian Feng.

“……”

I don't know if it's an illusion, seeing the two of them greeting each other so normally, the others have different reactions.

Kenshin and Kikyo didn't react much.

Shi raised his eyebrows, as if his heart was heavier.

And the three Lelouch on the side of the table seemed to be collectively disappointed.

……

At the same time, Huang Quan also breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems...... Nothing abnormal......" Thinking like this, Huang Quan suddenly thought of what Kikyo said before.

"Can't...... Is it too hasty?"

……

"So...... Let's keep it up like this for now......"

……

……

"What is this?" suddenly spoke up from Lelouch.

At this time, Lu Lu Xiu was holding a newspaper, and seemed to have seen some amazing news, and his face changed suddenly.

"What?" Fa Xiu immediately leaned forward curiously.

Tilting his head, Lelouch dodged his face full of vegetable juice and placed the newspaper on the table. 、

"Look......"

"This is ......," Helian Feng's pupils shrank.

"How is that possible?" Huang Quan's face also changed.

See, on the front page of the newspaper.

A rare wanted warrant was printed.

The reason why it is rare is that the usual wanted warrants are usually sandwiched in newspapers, but this time they were printed directly on the front page.

And what really surprised Helian Feng and the others was the guy printed on the wanted notice.

"The former admiral of the Navy, Benny, tried in vain to assassinate the marshal of the air and was dismissed from his post!!"

The big bold letters on the front page are so clearly written!
