XIX Trade fleets
"Ah~It's so boring~"
After the third week of sailing, Lagersis finally couldn't help but start complaining. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
I looked at Sister Cana, who was sleeping in the cabin, and Asa, who was drunk by her, and sighed.
"I look at the sea every day, I'm tired of it!" Lagersis touched her arm, "The skin is wrinkled in the sea breeze, and there is no water to batheβdead Garrett!" There's so much fresh water in the boat, you'll die if you use a little! β
"That fresh water is reserved for drinking...... "I can't help but think of the poor old captain who dragged Lagersis to death that dayβ"Princess! Please! Anything can happen at sea! At least fresh water! It's a waste to take a bath! β
"Well, I'm bored to death - by the way, the red-eyed idiot should start playing, right?"
"Well, the competition started a week ago."
"He's not going to be brushed off at the beginning, is he?" Lagersis smiled evilly, "It would be fun if it was just brushed off!" Hey hey ......"
She loved to see Lacey depressed.
"Lacey is so weak," I shook my head, "it wouldn't be nice to start with someone like my father - but it's good to start with a team fight." β
"That idiot doesn't look like he likes to cooperate, will he fight as a team?" Lagersis rummaged through the table for the leftovers from last night, "It's bacon and bread fish every day, can't you have something fresh?" I even let Miss Ben eat the rest here--this broken ship, I would not have come if I knew it! β
"It's okay~ After all, it's a merchant ship, and the warehouse is reserved for the goods - these bacon and bread are specially prepared for you, the princess - ah! Speaking of team battles, Les can't fight large-scale battles, but he is his father's direct detachment leader, and small-scale team battles should be what he is best at. β
"What can a squad leader do?" Lagersis frowned, "Isn't that responsible for conveying the orders of the superiors?" β
"Lacey's squad is a special unit~ dedicated to sabotage, raids, assassinations, etc. - in fact, with his strength and exploits, we can set up a fifth detachment in the Wind Cavalry," I explained, "- are you worried about him?" β
"Nonsense!" Lagers gave me a blank look, "Sister Sakura isn't worried?" - Ahh But wouldn't it be easy for him to return to nobility? Hehe...... "She laughed happily at this.
"Laughing at what? Lacey doesn't necessarily want you! I smiled and nudged her, and after a few days of getting along, I was not so inhibited with her.
"As long as Sister Sakura doesn't fight with me, I have hope~" Lagsis chuckled closer, "And he still has the marriage contract with Miss Ben~-Didn't you say it too, that idiot is very obedient to the agreement." β
"What am I fighting with you? He only thought I was a sister......"
"Hehe, Miss Ben has sent someone to investigate, judging from all indications, Reis is not as affectionate as an ordinary brother to your sister~" She leaned into my ear and whispered, "I heard that every time he finishes a mission, no matter how late or tired he is, he will pick you up first~ Is he just afraid that you are worried or desperate to see you?" And there are many times when I don't go out of your door at night~ Hehe! β
"He was too tired to fall asleep without saying a word to meβ" I blushed and looked at her with a pretended annoyance, "do you want me to fight with you or not?" β
"What about this......" Lagersis still had a wicked smile on her face, "It's not fun if you just give up, it's better Sister Sakura that you chase after me first, and then give up when it's criticalβ"
"Badass! Do you want me to be a green leaf to foil you? Beat you up! I put my hand under her armpit.
"Wow~ Don't!" She hurriedly dodged away.
"You think you'll be able to escape?"
"Sister Cana, wake up! Help! β
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
"Alright," Lagersis gasped as she sat on the ground, "I can't stand it, stop itching." β
I was also sitting on the ground, gasping for air.
"It's me who really can't stand it!" Sister Kana rubbed her forehead, "Sakura, pour me a glass of water - it hurts!" As soon as I woke up, I heard you guys screaming there, and the noise was dead! Ah~ Don't drink anymore! β
......Have you ever succeeded in quitting drinking?
After sitting dumbfounded for a while, Lagersis began to complain again: "Alas, it's boring again. β
"That, I heard that the second boat behind - the one carrying the merchant - there are artists on it~ Why don't we go and have a look?" I propose.
Lagersis frowned, showing disgust: "Don't go!" That artist is Xia Nan, and you'll go crazy with him. β
"Xia Nan? That bard? β
"Well, he said he was going to make the merchant's money, so he took Sylvia to the second ship, and you don't go to him - if you don't want to go crazy, Sister Sakura."
"Is he that weird?" I wondered, "Isn't his idea for you?" β
Lagersis got up and poured herself a glass of water, "Yes, yesβbut do you know what he told me?" Three hours! Three hours! He kept putting forward all kinds of suggestions, and at the end he always said, 'It is possible in theory, but it is not possible to put it into practice' - I was played by him for three hours! β
"Didn't beat him?" I wondered, "According to your characterβ"
"Why didn't I beat it? I've stuffed all the flaming bullets in his clothes! β
ββ¦β¦β
Do you want to kill him?
"But does it work? This guy is so powerful that he uses a recovery spell on himself while being beaten by me! I didn't beat him up as fast as he recovered. And he kept shouting, 'It's so cool~It's so cool~'"
ββ¦β¦ Perverted! β
"So, if it were you, would you go to him?"
"This ......," I shook my head, "it's better to stay awayβah! That's right! I looked at Asa who was still sleeping, "If you need Xia Nan's advice, ask Asa to say hello." β
"Perverted to perverted?" Lagersis laughed and kicked Asa who was still asleep on the ground, "Good idea. β
"Your Royal Highness Princess, can you come in?" Suddenly, Captain Garrett's voice came from outside the cabin.
"Huh? Come in, what's the matter? β
"Your Highness, we have met the Oriental Ship Regiment, and their envoy has invited us to come over as a guest."
"Oriental Ship Group!?" Lagersis and I were surprised.
"Why didn't you hear any movement?" Sister Cana looked at Garrett with her hand on her forehead, "Ah! It still hurts......"
"It's an advance ship. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary folk boat, so I didn't report it. Garrett replied, "They said the fleet would come in a momentβshall we?" β
"Okay, okay!" Lagersis was very happy.
"What a coincidence of the Oriental boats. Sakura, another glass of water," Sister Cana mused, "but make some preparations." β
"It's fine." Garrett interrupted her, "That messenger's name is Ding Feng, I know, and he is indeed from the Oriental Ship Group. β
"Oh, but it's better to be careful, and no one said that the Dongfang Boat Group won't rob, just Sakura and I will go over when the time comes."
"I'm going too!" Lageris exclaimed.
"You? The princess is safer on the shipβwell, forget it," Sister Cana looked at Lagersis and shook her head helplessly, "You wayward princess will run away on her own even if you don't let you go, right?" β
Lagersis laughed and stuck out her tongue.
"Then let's go with us, Garrett, tell the fleet to dismount, drop anchor and rest, and send some merchant representatives to the backβthey should be happier than anyone else to come into contact with the Orientals in advance."
"Hmm!" Garrett turned to leave.
"Ah, wait!" Sister Cana picked up Asa from the ground and threw it over, "Throw this bastard into the sea." β
"Okay!"
"Is it really embarrassing?" Seeing the captain's quick promise, Lagersis and I couldn't help but be stunned.
"Of course."
"Sister Cana is going too far?" Garrett had already dragged Asa out of the hatch, and I asked, "Asa is still drunk, and he will die if he just throws it into the sea." β
"How could this bastard die? He's already awake, just lying there looking at your skirts! β
"Ahh "Disgusting!"
It's better to drown him.
"Sakura, I'm lucky, I should be able to ask some information about Lacey, right?" Sister Cana touched my head, "Even if not, it would be easier to get to know their leader." β
"En......"
I'm looking forward to it.
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
"Wow! What a big ship! β
We changed into formal clothes and stood on the deck with the merchant representatives, staring blankly at the approaching behemoth.
Is this really a ship? Unlike our usual pointed boats, its hull is square, with carved on both sides - is it a dragon's head? Surrounded by five-colored flags, the shipyard is a small castle. Supposedly, our ship is a big ship on the mainland, and in front of it is a toy - our ship is not even half as tall as it is.
"Have you seen it?" Captain Garrett looked envious, "I've seen a bigger one." β
"How does this ship get into port?" Sister Jana asked.
"It doesn't come into the port, and the cargo is taken off by our ship. Yes! They're coming to pick you up. β
I saw that the side of the eastern ship hung down like a drawbridge, and after it was flattened, it was still some distance from our ship.
Before we could react, a group of craftsmen with various tools came out of the cabin, and they were busy on the hanging deck, and in a short time the bridge connecting the two ships was built.
"Little envoy Ding Feng, on the orders of the master, respectfully invite a few guests to come and gather with us." After the bridge was built, a young man dressed in a standard oriental blue robe stepped forward quickly.
"Sakura, go ahead," Sister Kana nudged me.
I still don't like etiquette so much.
I sighed, and was about to step forwardβ
"Thank you for the invitation, our lord, we are the royal caravan of the Dorakian Empire, and we have come to trade with you." A man walked out of the merchant representatives behind him.
"Xia Nan?" "Brother?"
οΌ Is he Xia Nan?
"What?" Lagersis grabbed Asa by the collar, "Xanan is your brother?" β
"You didn't ask! Occasion! Occasion! Occasion! Asa cried.
"Forget it!" Lagersis lowered her hand angrily.
Are they brothers? No wonder.
"Oh, forget that guy - that Xia Nan is very good at diplomacy, so it's easy to get into trouble." Sister Cana yawned in boredom.
It didn't take long for Xia Nan to wave his hand at us and signal us to come over.
"I'm sorry, my master only entertained these distinguished guests this time, please come back to everyone who came to discuss business," Ding Feng bowed to the merchants very politely, and then half-knelt and saluted Lagers, "If you know that it is Her Royal Highness the Princess, my master will definitely come to greet him in person, please let me apologize for his rude on behalf of my master." β
Lagersis frowned, she must hate etiquette as much as Sister Cana, right? But after all, she is a princess, and she has not lost her manners, only to see her bow slightly, showing the royal majesty (at this time I really think I was wrong, this look...... Is it Laxis? "I am very grateful for your invitation. β
"Then please ask the princess to move to the ship, and the little envoy will guide the way. This way, please! β
