113 - The ins and outs of being late
"By the way, Pease, you ...... that day What do you see? "Walking through the jungle, this time, Monkey A is more familiar with the road.
Wille grasped his tone and asked seemingly casually. Back on Monkey Island, Wille suddenly remembered something.
That is, Pease can talk and communicate with himself, so what happened that day? Wouldn't Pease be able to tell himself for himself?
Pease followed slowly, and when he heard Ver ask him, he paused for a moment, then walked again.
"Pease?" Wiel looked back and saw that Pease's shoulders were shaking, "I'm fine. There was a hint of fear in Pease's voice.
“…… That day, I saw a dark shadow ......"
On that day, when Pease followed the pigman who was chasing the monkey to the rocky beach, the pigman had reached a place very close to the coast, and after two stones, the pigman seemed to have discovered something, and as soon as he turned around, he disappeared from Pease's field of vision.
Pease, who was about to follow closely, was stopped by the monkey and made a long detour, and just as Pease was about to go deep into the interior to find the pigman, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared not far from the coast.
When Pease was far away, he saw a strange creature as big as a hill, like a shark, but with limbs, like a cat and tiger, but with a dorsal fin
……
"Is it really a tiger shark?" When Wille heard this, he couldn't help but ask. "What the captain said is true!"
"I don't know what it is, but it's big, it's ...... It's scary. Pease thought back.
……
That huge strange thing fell from the sky, like a small mountain smashed down from the sky, boom, slammed on the ground, Pease was standing far enough away, but still couldn't help jumping up with the ground, saying that it was jumping, in fact, it was not accurate, like on a trampoline, being shaken by a strong person, in the eyes of that monster, presumably the slightly smaller island might really be the "trampoline" of that thing.
Pease barely held on to the stone wall beside him, and several monkeys were shaken down on top of the boulder in the distance. He fell to the ground on all fours, and let out a cried out of pain.
……
As he said this, Pease's hands trembled uncontrollably, and his footsteps stopped. "I ...... I saw the thing's eyes......" A cloud appeared on Pease's face, as if he didn't want to remember. "That eye...... It's horrible......"
"Pease! Don't think about it" Will noticed Pease's abnormality and quickly walked back to help Pease.
After walking a distance, Monkey A found that the two did not follow, "Tsk! He screamed. Squatted down at the other end of the stone-edged path, looked back at the two men, and took out a fruit to eat.
Pease choked slightly, "After...... Later, then there was a loud bang...... I saw that the direction was the direction he was going, and I was afraid that something would happen to him...... I just want to keep up......"
……
Pease was frightened by the tiger shark's eyes, which reflected the desire to kill and the aura of tyranny, and the mere mere look at its shape made people shudder.
But Pease soon realized that that direction was where the pigmen went, the vibration that he could feel so far away, and the killing intent that he noticed, so what would happen to the pigmen there now?
Pease clenched his hand, although he was hung out by some bushes and vines at that time, but the faint stinging pain on his body made Pease sober up a lot, and he pushed the boulder on the side with all his might, trying to push himself up and run to that place. But his legs couldn't stop trembling, and he couldn't move away...... While Pease was struggling with himself, the tiger shark jumped up again, cast a large shadow on the ground, and then popped into the water, setting off a huge wave on the surface of the sea.
……
"After that...... I was caught by the monkeys......" Pease raised his eyes to look at Will, "Wille......"
Will patted Pease on the shoulder, "You ......." ”
Pease looked at Vere with wide eyes, "It's okay Vere...... I know...... I'm just a little scared. ”
"It's okay...... You've done enough good Pease...... Leave it to me. ”
Pease nodded, "Let's go...... It's been waiting for a while......" Pease pointed back.
"Huh?"
……
The monkey swung down from a nearby branch and walked a few steps in front of Veil.
"Tsk!"
"Well, looks like we're back again......" Will looked at the village in front of him, his hands clenched slightly. Followed the monkey in.
Before coming to the familiar big house, an old monkey came out of the way.
Quietly came to the front of Weiel, sniffed the smell of Weir, and then turned to one side, and gracefully made a waiter's gesture to let Weir follow him, and then turned his head and walked towards the depths of the village.
When I arrived at the place where the banquet had been held that night, the chunks had been removed, leaving only a mess......
A black cage is being guarded by two "gorillas", and Captain Hiero is sitting inside, leisurely watching the busy monkeys around him. The old monkey had led Wer there, and without stopping, he went straight to the cage, and after a few words to Hierro, he turned back as he ate the fruit. I saw Vere behind me.
"Ah~ the young man is back......" took a bite of all the remaining fruit into his mouth, and sat up. Here, look at my darling. ”
Ver frowned and led Pease to the side of the cage. The square in front of him was empty.
"I thought you'd be in a hurry to get the key." Vere stood next to him and whispered, while Pease leaned cautiously against Wiel's thigh, his eyes constantly turning back and forth between "Gorilla" and Hierro.
"Keys? Of course I want the keys! A hint of cunning flashed in Hierro's eyes, "Do you want to get that thing back, too?" Bub? ”
When Pease heard this, his body shook violently, and Hierro's expression did not show any change, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Where's that thing?"
"I said I lost those stupid monkeys, do you believe it?" Hierro straightened the pirate hat on his head and said with some trouble.
"If you lose it, you don't have the key." Weir said coldly, he really didn't have a good impression of Hierro's face.
"So you've found the key? Let me see. "Where's that thing?"
Hierro smiled and looked at Will, "Okay, since you are so cautious, I won't tell you what you have or don't, young people nowadays, they really don't have a sense of humor......"
"I'd rather you use your sense of humor somewhere else......"
"Alright,...... Syllable! Hiero snapped his fingers, and Wille noticed a rattle in the nearby woods, and the monkey, missing the tip of its tail, came down from the tree and took a package in his hand.
"I've got it here, but where are you? Where's my key? Hierro spread his hand and looked at Vere, his fingertips hooked.
"You took that package and exchanged it with me, what if I gave you the key and you regretted it?" Weir still didn't believe it.
"I'm not going back...... I'm not like the kind of person who just doesn't want to take out the keys when they have the keys in their backpacks...... If it weren't for the little guy next to you, I wouldn't have used a cloth bag......" Hierro put his hand on his chest, half-reclined there, picked up a wine bottle, and took a sip gently.
"Well, as I said, although I'm a pirate, I've always paid attention to the credibility of the trade, otherwise how do you think I fell into the trap and was trapped here?"
“…… I'm curious, how did you know this key? With his hand on his chest, he took out the key that looked like a tree.
"Oh? Did you really get it? Hierro's eyes lit up, and he rushed his head to the key in Will's hand, "This pattern, this feeling...... Well, not bad. Well done...... That's the key. ”
Hierro stood up, picked up the knife on the ground and knocked on the iron cage, "See? This cage shattered my knife. Any idea what this means? Captain Hierro, retracting the knife from his waist, "This means that this cage is not ordinary for what is trapping me...... It is specially made. Got it? ”
Hierro clapped his hands, and the monkey with the sack was a little reluctant, and threw the bag to Vere, glanced at her with a hint of annoyance, bared his teeth and screamed at him, and disappeared into the woods. "He's a guy who's a good guy on this island." Looking at the monkey in the distance, Hierro whistled.
Weir took the cloth bag, "Aren't you afraid that I will take it and leave?" You know these monkeys can't trap me. ”
"Of course you won't leave, I'm very accurate in seeing people." Hierro's exaggerated expression said, "You're also the kind of person who keeps promises, and I love to make deals with people like you." ”
"See, you're going to be locked in a cage?"
Will said as he probed in his hand, nodded, and wanted to receive the package in the backpack, but suddenly, looking at the way Pease looked at him, looking at it with an inquiring eye, Pease nodded, and Wir handed the package to Pease.
Pease took the package, shook his arms slightly, and then gently hugged it in his arms. "...... Wiel," Wyer nodded, and Pease ran away from Wiel's feet, the package carefully held by him, and walked towards a small flower garden that they had just seen, which was closer to it.
Hierro, who was on the side, watched this scene, turned around slightly, and walked towards the empty square in front of the cage, and with a slight movement of his hand, the old monkey followed Pease over.
Watching Pease walk to the flower garden, Ver turned around, holding the key in his hand, "How do you open this cage?" ”
"Don't worry, man." Hierro waved his hand absently, "Before you do that, you'll have to see my old fellow...... Do we have a lot more to do? Isn't it? ”
Hierro's eyes looked at Will, who frowned, "I know what you want to do, this cage is still of some use." ”
