Chapter 39: The Smiling Coffin
The sea area near the city of Haoole.
The overall black color of the yacht sailed on the surface of the sea, and the iron bow pierced the blue waves, stirring up layers of waves to sweep over the side of the ship, leaving a silver-white ribbon of water to spread out into the distance.
The black yacht is exquisitely decorated, with a black coffin carved into it on either side of the hull with a grim, twisted smile.
On the side of the yacht, there is also a little elf with a whole body in orange, stepping on his tail like a surfboard, paddling through the waves, as if he is competing with the yacht to see who is faster.
In the wheelhouse of the cabin, a young man dressed in a black robe with the same logo as the hull of the ship was piloting the yacht.
The young man glanced out the window at the elf, grinned, and the slender palm stretched out from under the robe danced skillfully and gracefully on the various complicated buttons like playing a piano, and the speed of the yacht increased instantly, surpassing the elf.
Seeing that he had been overtaken by the yacht, the elf immediately accelerated unconvinced, and followed closely behind the yacht again.
The young man had black and gray hair, a pair of blue eyes peeking out under the oblique bangs, chewing a piece of gum in his mouth, and blowing a bubble from time to time.
"Otilia, how is it, have you found the information of the target?"
With a "snap", the bubble burst, and the young man's mouth was full of mush, and the young man turned his head to look at a slender woman with long fiery red hair sitting next to him.
"Chief, this sea is so big, how can it be so easy to find!"
A pair of bright red eyes under the woman's golden eyes swept over the various data on the screen like the most accurate instrument, glanced at the young man beside her, and said in a tone that was completely disrespectful, "And the leader, please don't eat snacks while on a mission." ”
"Eh, this isn't a snack, it's the best medicine to drive away drowsiness!"
The young man said with a grin, revealing a row of shiny teeth, and yawned after speaking, "Look, I've been looking for this all day, I'm going to be sleepy, and I won't let you eat a chewing gum to refresh yourself!" Would you like one? ”
"I'm not sleepy."
Otilia looked at the young man helplessly, "Chief, since you have decided to do this task yourself, please be serious!" ”
"I'm serious!" The young man straightened his chest and said in an intonable tone, "I haven't slept all day!" ”
"Oh, is it? Then why did I hear the snoring sound when it was my turn to drive the Coffin? ”
"Uh, this must be your elf sleeping lazily!"
"I didn't bring a pokew with me this time." Otilia said expressionlessly.
“......”
The young man looked a little embarrassed and turned his head away, glaring fiercely at the little elf outside the yacht, surfing with his tail and covering his mouth and snickering.
"Found it!"
Otilia raised her eyebrows, the decibel level up slightly.
"Found it? Where is it? ”
The young man was blowing bubbles, and when he heard Otileia's words, he immediately squeezed to her side, and his whole face was attached to the screen.
"Chief, please get out of the way, I can't locate the coordinates like this."
Otilia looked at the young man who had squeezed on top of her, pushed down her glasses, and then said in a calm tone, "Also, if you don't go back to drive, we're going to hit the reef." ”
"Oooh! I'm sorry. ”
The young man hurriedly returned to his seat, and with a very casual wave of operations, he let the yacht that deviated from the line drift to the limit to avoid a reef in front of him, crossed a graceful arc, and returned to the original route.
"The goal is on the beach in the city of Haoole."
Otilia's long, white fingers danced quickly across the keyboard, making the picture clearer.
"Oh, it's a good city, there are so many fun places there, I have to go and have fun, but where to go first, it's a real problem......"
The young man's eyes lit up, and the first thing he was worried about was where to go to play after he arrived in Haoaole City.
"Chief, please be a little conscious of being a wanted criminal." Otilia glanced at the young man who had been carried away.
"Eh, what's the matter with wanted criminals or something, the Alola region hasn't even established an elf alliance yet, what's the panic!" The young man didn't care, and planned his own play strategy.
"It's true that there is no Elven Alliance in the Alola region, but the White Deer Wild Tiger has chased here from Kanto." Otilia squinted at the youth.
As if by magic, when he heard the name "White Deer Wild Tiger", the young man's expression changed suddenly, and he became silent, silently putting his eyes on the screen.
Seeing this, Otilia pursed her lips and moved her gaze to the top of the screen.
I saw a golden color on the screen, which was the beach of Haoaole City, and in the picture, a girl in a white dress was alone on the beach, and no one cared.
"Someone took the target away."
Under Otilia's gaze, a red-haired boy with a black scarf and a pair of glasses bent down to pick up the girl, and then left the beach.
"Wait, Otilia!"
Suddenly, the young man changed his previous frivolity, his eyes were firmly fixed on the screen, and he said in an extremely serious tone, "Play back the video." ”
Otilia looked at him suspiciously, and although she didn't understand the young man's intentions, she still played back the video slowly out of trust.
"Stop!"
Following the young man's words, Otilia pressed the pause button without a trace of hesitation, only to see the picture stay in front of the red-haired boy who was leaving with the girl in his arms.
"Oh, what a coincidence, Arceus really favors our smiling coffin!"
The corners of the young man's mouth curled, and his blue eyes slowly narrowed.
"This man is...... The target of the mission that I took over three months ago and put it on hold because I couldn't find anyone? ”
Otilia looked at the red-haired boy on the screen, frowned and thought for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty.
"That's right, it's the goal required by that mission, to find the goal of two missions at once, and it's the kind of big deal, isn't this Arceus's favor?"
Otilia's eyes flashed, and she knew that although the young man around her usually looked improper, as the leader of the organization, he was actually more concerned than anyone else.
It's like the goal of this mission three months ago, even he, who claims to be the military advisor in the organization, has a vague memory, but the young man remembers it clearly and recognizes it at a glance.
The young man blew a bubble, and controlled the yacht with his palm to accelerate again, heading towards Haoole City with all his might.
Seeing this, the orange elf that had been following closely behind the yacht also accelerated and left the sea......
