Chapter 153: Asahto Maru's Journey (1)
The sun is rising, refreshed, and the most important thing is that the exam has passed, and there is no "try" to be light.
"The Asamito Maru is docked at the dock south of the Haco Bazaar, and we can reach it through the portal. Park Ji-woo was wearing short-sleeved shorts and sandals and a shoulder bag on his back, looking like he was traveling.
"It's okay to have a casual feeling, after all, we're going to attend the succession ceremony of the Suzuki clan's patriarch?" asked Xiao Hui, who had the same idea as me.
"It's okay," said Adam, who was shirt-on, "bring memory or other compressed artifacts, prepare your formal attire, and change into them when you need to." β
"Charlie, don't be shirtless, ruin your image. β
Alex was reluctant to help Josh adjust his outfit: "Look at yourself before you talk about others." Look at your yukata, whoever touches you will untie it, and you're embarrassed to wear it. Later, Alex made it mandatory for Josh to wear casual clothes on board.
"By boat, I don't have many impressions of boating in my life. β
"Will Yi Jiahe get seasick?"
"Could it be," I said to Josh with uncertain certainty, "because I don't have a memory, I don't know." β
"I'm going to get seasick. β
I don't know what Josh was trying to say, I could only smile wryly at him.
Getting ready to go, we meet Leung Hoi Wing and the girls on the way to the portal room.
"Catrina isn't going?"
Liang Kairong replied to me: "It seems that it is her family's order, she can't go with you." β
"What about you?"
"I have to prepare for the Friendship Tournament between the two houses, so I can't go with you. β
I asked unhappily, "Brother Liang, can you rest assured that we students will go to the Suzuki clan alone?"
Lilith Jones put her index finger to my lips to stop me from saying ominous words.
"Ah, I'm sorry. Lilith, realizing her gaffe, blushed.
"It's fine. I turned to Liang Kairong, "Are you accompanied by other teachers on this trip?"
"We are confident that you will be able to take charge on your own, and since those who have not received the invitation letter will not be able to go to Asatomaru, even the teachers, it is true that there are no other teachers accompanying you on this trip. β
Seeing that I was worried, Liang Kairong added: "Even if you don't have a teacher around, you won't be in trouble." Dean Fang had already negotiated with the elders of the Suzuki clan to carry the most advanced living system on the Asto Maru, and your life on board was guaranteed. In addition, Asakimaru has a strong security system, dozens of guards, and a powerful barrier to prevent outsiders from entering, so you don't have to worry about being attacked by foreign enemies. β
"I'm not worried about that, after all, there are Suzuki people as escorts, and if something really happens, it will definitely become a sensational scandal in the wizarding world. It's just, alas, I feel sad at the thought of not being able to attend Brother Liang's free concert on your cruise ship. β
Liang Kairong smiled bitterly: "It's hard for me to sing ......"
"I just like to hear you sing. "Even if I'm an uncle, with idols, it's not too much to be arrogant.
Liang Kairong scratched his cheeks: "If you don't mind, I'll sing it to you when you come back?"
It was as if I had traveled here from 10,000 years before history, and I was stunned.
"I can't sing well, if you don't like it, you can ...... it at any time"
I pulled Liang Kairong's hand over, and then hooked his little finger with my own little finger: "A word is a certainty." β
"Hmm. Liang Kairong embarrassedly showed his tiger teeth.
"Three or seven out of ten people are here, and two out of ten are here...... What about Yu Jingjing?" Xiao Hui looked nervous.
"The head of the dormitory is already at the portal, and Yingying and I are here to see if you are lost. β
Josh said to the freckled girl, "Only Yi Jiahe will get lost in our dormitory, you don't have to worry about it." β
Lilith snickered, and Jin Yingying said mercilessly: "I saw you get lost in the academy a few days ago, and then asked a first-year girl, almost making the family think you as a bad and rude person, and disgraced our third-year students' faces." β
"Is there such a thing?"
Alex said helplessly, "Yes." If Adam hadn't happened to pass by, you'd have been dragged to the dean's room by the girl's companion. β
"Ahaha, this kind of trivial matter is not a big deal. β
Those present either covered their faces or smiled bitterly. It's also interesting that there is a very silly kid in the group.
As we continued our journey, we heard someone shouting, so we turned to see that it was Hogg with Ma Chao and Richard.
"Yo, senior, do you feel lonely when the senior sister is not here today?" Should I say that Hogg is perceptive or can't open which pot, this kid will aim at Xiao Hui as soon as he comes.
The old classmate shook off Hogg's hand and pretended not to know.
"I don't see the eldest lady today, are Yi Jia and the senior a little lost?"
I flicked him on the forehead, "You misunderstood something." β
Coming to the portal room, Xiao Hui saw what Yu Jingjing was talking to Dean Fang, and tried his best to contain his joy in order not to make Hogg pay attention. However, Hogg was not too interested in this, and walked directly to the portal through Xiao Hui.
"Can we get in?"
Yu Jingjing stopped Hogg: "Wait for all the personnel to arrive, register, and then pass." β
"Isn't the leave procedure already completed?" asked Ma Chao, who was following Hogg.
"There is a reason for this, this time our teacher will not be able to accompany you to the territory of the Suzuki clan, so we have to take all possible measures, and I ask for your understanding. β
As soon as Dean Fang opened his mouth, who dared to talk back, who pushed me to make him look good.
After about ten minutes, after all the departure related matters, we looked back at the entrance of the portal room.
"No one is here anymore?"
I counted the number of people, three out of ten seven people, two or three out of ten people, plus Ma Chao and them, in the end there are still only so many people.
"It stands to reason that there shouldn't be more people invited to participate in the top priority of the patriarch's succession? Hogg pondered.
It seems that the relationship between the different families is more complicated than I thought. There are many cases where Katrina wants to attend a classmate's succession ceremony, but is forbidden by the family.
Dean Fang turned to face us: "Originally, there were seven more students coming, but they all sent me a rejection request just now. In this way, there are only a few of you who will board the ship. β
"Seven less will be much more deserted. Jin Yingying said softly.
"It's okay, there's Josh here, and I can't be still. β
Park Ji-woo's words caused Kim Yingying's cheeks to flush. Do you need to blush?
Pulling back to Josh, who was looking at the entrance of the room, Alex asked, "Can we go?" Keeping him hungry is dangerous. β
"I think he's fine. β
Alex took Josh to Hogg: "If you don't believe it, take it, and then you will feel what it means to be 'better to live than to die'." β
Probably frightened by Alex's stern eyes, Hogg pushed back Josh: "No need, I have a Richard enough for me to bother." β
I sensed that Richard was about to launch a destructive deathlight.
Stepping up the steps, Xiao Hui and I turned to Liang Kairong and Fang Dongyan.
"Something to contact. "My two idols waved at me.
I don't know why, but I always had a premonition that I would never see them again. Xiao Hui urged me forward, but I was still hesitating. Finally, I went down the steps to the two of them and hugged them.
"It's okay, Yi Jiahe. Leung patted me on the back and comforted me.
"You have an irreplaceable companion, and that is your precious treasure. "It turns out that Fang Dongyan's taste is so wonderful.
"How old are you, and you still have to hug you, are you ashamed?"
Josh's words pierced my heart as a twenty-eight-year-old uncle, but how could you know how much spiritual comfort you can get from hugging your idol.
I thought I was going to walk some distance, but the moment I stepped out of the portal, I saw the modern wooden ship docked on the dock. I didn't think that even in the wizarding world with teleportation technology, there are still things with a retro style such as the Academy of Magic.
"Mikoto?"
Standing among the passers-by is a short-haired woman dressed in a shrine maiden costume that can be seen in the anime.
"What are you looking at?"
My gaze prompted the students who came to the docks of the Huck Market to look at the Oriental shrine maidens, who were somewhat different from the Western world.
"This costume is from the Suzuki clan. β
After Park Ji-woo finished speaking, the woman walked slowly.
"Are you students from the Rhett Academy of Elemental Magic, who was invited to the land of the Suzuki clan?"
We nodded.
"When we first met, I was Suzuki Kei, a member of the Suzuki clan. β
"The first time we met, I was a Jianghu personβ"
I interrupted Josh, "Is Kojiro coming?"
"Kojiro-sama is waiting for you to come to Kamiki Village. It's not too early, if there are all the people, please follow me to Chaodong Maru. β
With a deep bow to us, Kei Suzuki turned sideways to signal us forward, and then walked towards Asakimaru as the leader.
If we are a group of people carrying large bags and small bags, there is a good chance that we will attract the attention of pedestrians. I've learned the benefits of having magical technology, and one of them is being able to move with ease.
Compared to the cruise ships I've seen on TV, the Asaki Maru is much smaller. Planks, masts, bound white sails, except for looking neat, this ship is at least about the same size as the pioneer ships of the Age of Discovery.
As I thought, the pedals descended and we followed Suzuki Kei onto the boat.
"One, two...... Thirteen. It's different from the number we learned......" Suzuki Kei paused, then continued, "I see, the rest of the people aren't coming?"
"Yes," Yu Jingjing replied, "everyone has urgent matters and can't go." β
"To put it bluntly, we are afraid of the Suzuki clan and worry about what danger we will encounter on our territory. β
Suzuki Kei guessed, we had nothing to say.
"It's rude. Suzuki Kei bowed down and greeted, "Everyone who comes is a guest, and as a member of the Suzuki clan, I have a responsibility to treat you well." β
"Since there is no shortage of people, let's go in time for the first night of the festival. An Oriental man in a men's kimono leaned against the edge of the boat.
"Who is that?" asked Park Ji-woo.
"Ken Suzuki, a member of the Suzuki family. You're Kojiro's fox friendsβ"
The floor cracked, and thick vines rose up and grabbed Ken Suzuki and crushed him to the ground.
"Distinguish the weak from the family, it's not for the sake of Kojiro-sama that I want me to get along well with you, I will allow you to be so presumptuous!" Fang Cai's calm Suzuki Jing had sharp eyes.
"I'm sorry," a yellow-haired Oriental man who was also wearing a men's kimono jumped down from it and knelt on the ground after checking on Ken Suzuki's condition, "Miss Jing, please forgive Ken-kun for his unintentional mistake." β
The vines retracted, and the planks returned to their original state.
"I'm sorry to let the guests see the bad side. Suzuki Kei turned to the two of them and said expressionlessly, "You two, why don't you go and prepare meals and drinks yet." β
"Well," Josh asked with a grin, "I'd like to go to my room and put things away first." β
Suzuki Kei bowed: "I'm so sorry, because the guards have to be aware of potential dangers at all times, and there are only four of us...... In order to make your experience better, we have just sent someone to rearrange your room, after all, girls and boys should not be too close to each other......"
Suzuki Kei paused abruptly as before, then smiled and said, "The guest room is ready, please come with me." β
Follow Suzuki Kei to the cabin, which is a very different environment from the outside: we are reflected on the clean marble floor, and the ornate chandelier in the passage is exalted.
"At this time, it will take three days to arrive at the land of our Suzuki clan, that is, in the evening of the day after tomorrow, you will be able to arrive at Hyakusai City......"
"Cabbage?"
Alex immediately covered Josh's mouth.
Suzuki Kei, who had clearly heard it, continued casually, "Our Suzuki clan has lived in Hyakusai City for many years, because it is a natural barrier protected by nature that the ancestor of the Sky Fox set up to express the friendly connection between the Suzuki family and the Sky Fox. β
"Is it okay to tell us that information?" asked Richard.
"You are guests, and you are classmates of Kojiro-sama, and I believe that you are not fools who talk nonsense. What's more, the mysteries of the Suzuki clan can only be known by the patriarchs and elders of the past generations, and what I am talking to you about is only the information that many high-level magicians in the wizarding world already know. β
Suzuki Kei stopped and stretched out his hand to show us, "This is the boy's room." She then opened the door and motioned for us to visit.
A room like a five-star hotel β even though I haven't stayed in such a place β should be of a five-star standard based on the pictures viewed online.
"The rooms have different modes and are set next to the beds. If you don't like the current room setting, you can change it to a botanical garden, a beach, and other different scenes. β
"Jing-chan, is this the use of reality technology?"
"Jing Jiang ......" is like a witch The short-haired girl was stunned.
When I was about to apologize to Kei Suzuki for making a mistake, she smiled, "Few people call me that, and Kojiro-sama is one of them." "Looks like she's in a good mood.
"Next is the girls' room. The girls' dormitory is on the lower floor, so please come with me. β
Josh followed up, frightened by Suzuki Kei's eyes: "I can understand the principle of opposites attracting, but if the boys want to sneak into a place where they shouldn't enter, the guards of Asahto Maru will immediately appear and pull the violator into the confinement room." β
Nodding slightly to us, Suzuki Kei left with the girl with a smile on his face.
The number of rooms for boys seems to be fixed, one room for two, exactly ...... No, there are six rooms here. The extra room, is it vacant?
With a "tick", the door at the end opened. As he appeared, Josh let out a shout.
"Suzuki!"
Dressed in a men's kimono that was noticeably more noble than Ken Suzuki and the yellow-haired man, the teenager who had fought me in a big fight waved towards us. With his handsome face and kind smile, the melancholy that Suzuki gave people was gone, and I even suspected that it was Suzuki's twin brother in front of me.
"Gentlemen, welcome to Asto Maru. After glancing at us, Suzuki Zun left his gaze on me, "Yi Jiahe, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing." β
"You too. turned the survival competition upside down, causing them to be injured and dizzy, but they were not severely punished. "I've been alone in the metal room of the Gust Confinement for almost a month, and boredom is driving me crazy.
Suzuki looked down, then lifted the cuffs to show me what was on his arm.
"What is this?"
"Life and death curse. β
Richard asked, "The Suzuki clan's life and death curse is the forbidden art that as long as the leader gives the order, the person who is under the curse will be worse than dead, right?"
Suzuki nodded, then lowered his sleeves and said, "I know that what I have done has caused a lot of trouble to everyone, although it is insignificant, but I will do my best to provide quality service to you in this ship." After speaking, Suzuki bowed deeply.
"Who is the leader of your death curse?" Xiao Hui asked.
Looking up, Suzuki replied, "Kojiro Suzuki." β
"Looks like you've had a lot going on. I patted Suzuki on the shoulder.
"Venerable, is there anything else Suzuki Kei hasn't explained about our room?" Hogg leaned on the door frame and stuck his head out to look in.
"Yes. Originally, we had a room with the same number of invitees as the college, but due to the temporary change in the number of guests, there was a large number of rooms left. After discussion, I suggested that the room be changed to a room for two people, which would reduce the space a lot on the one hand, and on the other hand, cultivate the relationship between classmates. β
"Oh, at first glance, it doesn't feel like it's changed. β
Suzuki smiled slightly: "After the adjustment, we connected the extra space to the recreation room and set it up as a playground. For safety reasons, we do not have facilities such as swimming pools on the deck. Although it is indoors, with the addition of reality and virtual technology, I believe it will bring everyone the same feeling as outdoors. β
"Here's the time to choose a partner," Josh held up his hand with a finger in the air, "I'm going to live with Yi Jiahe." β
"Why?" I asked.
Josh jumped in front of me and said solemnly, "Big brother, I'm going with you." β
"If you're a person who doesn't wear proper clothes and snores at night, don't bother Yi Jiahe. Alex said unhappily.
"It's fine. Living with Yi Jiahe, in addition to listening to him talk about Gust, I can also observe his blue flame, which may be able to give me a flash of inspiration and greatly improve my strength. β
"Then, I also want to live with Yi Jiahe. Hogg said.
"Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and being with powerful people can enhance their strength. I see, I also want to live with Yi Jiahe. Charlie, who remained silent, spoke.
A couple of boys were arguing about the right to live in the same room with me.
"How long are you going to be arguing like this? β
Yu Jingjing passed by Suzuki Zun, Suzuki Zun smiled at her, but Yu Jingjing replied with a glaring eye, and then said to the boy: "It's up to Yi Jia and himself to decide who he wants to live with!"
I couldn't stand the expectant stares of the boys, so I had to choose an option that would surprise everyone: "I live with Suzuki." β
The people were amazed, and my purpose was achieved.
"I'm sorry," Suzuki nodded slightly, "In order to provide you with excellent service as soon as possible when you need it, and to treat everyone fairly, we have a policy that we can only stay in rooms close to your room." β
"So, I'm going to your room?"
"Neither will this one. Our rooms are the same size as yours. To save space, Kenwa Yuta lives with me. That room can't accommodate more people, otherwise it will bring you a bad life experience. β
The more crowded it is, the more lively it becomes. Although I thought so, when I saw Suzuki's embarrassed face, I gave up.
"Zhiyu, can I live with you?"
Park Ji-woo smiled awkwardly, and Richard said for him, "Ji-woo-san wants to discuss the history of the wizarding world with me." β
"What about Adam?"
"I'm with Ma Chao. β
Ma Chao was taken aback: "Are you sure you want to ...... with me"
"Sure. Adam replied with a blank face.
Choice hesitancy escalated to choice phobia, and I waved my hand and said helplessly, "I don't choose, whatever you want." β
The three boys argued again, and finally Charlie said, "Draw conclusions by magic." β
"Ladies and gentlemen, meals and drinks are ready. The yellow-haired boy who seemed to be called Yuta smiled brightly.
"Magic is time-consuming. Since it is difficult for you to decide who to live with, I will help you choose. β
In the end, I had one room with Xiao Hui, one room with Josh and Alex, one room with Park Ji-woo and Charlie, one room with Adam and Ma Chao, and one room with Hogg and Richard.
There is dissatisfaction, but in front of the domineering Yu Jingjing, no one opens his mouth to seek death.
