......

In May, the heat that enveloped the whole of Southover was no exception even in this port city close to the sea, and it was not the light cast by the sun that became intense, but a restless aura that almost like environmental magic floated over the surface, a strange aura that could not be eliminated even by the cool waters that would normally make people feel.

"What a good weather! Good weather for sailing! First mate! Don't you think so?"

The annoying aura that "ruled" the whole earth in the moon of fire seemed to have no effect on her, and she wore it on her shoulders all the year round, as if it was in place of the function of the "lucky thing" and did not care at all about its tattered short coat and put it on the railing in front of her, and the female captain covered the sun with one hand, looking up at the sea, and her eyes were extremely excited.

Just like every time she sets sail.

She is Valery, the contemporary head of the Captan family, the most famous seafaring world on the peninsula, and the captain of the independent ocean transport ship Blowing Snow, who is also the companion of the Lord of the Lighthouse City, Shaparina the Sea Witch.

Judging by the performance of Troy and others on previous trips, Valerie is an optimistic, positive and brave woman, and at the same time, she has amazing muscles and is also a good fighter.

"Yes, yes, every time our captain goes out to sea, it's going to be good weather. ”

Behind the female captain, the "first mate", who was dressed no different from an ordinary sailor, had a weak look, and he couldn't tell where the weather was good.

In fact, Valery's character, who is never afraid of the storm and always thinks only about the most positive aspects of things, gives her followers strength at many critical moments, but in normal times, this personality only makes others feel unbearable.

"Is it good weather every time? But how to explain the unusual storm last time. ”

Unexpectedly, Valery actually felt deeply concerned about the casual and perfunctory words of the first mate. Touching the man's fingers to her chin, she didn't seem to be depressed because of the last "setback".

"If it weren't for those passengers, we'd all be dead at sea, although it's a blessing to die on the sea we've fought for all our lives......"

"Huh...... That's exactly what you're saying. ”

The tone of the first mate behind him was a little yin and yang, and he already knew what kind of person his captain was, and he was not worried at all that this "strange muscle girl" who could knock down several big men with one hand would lose her fighting spirit because of such a little "trivial matter".

Of course, the above description will never be known to others.

"Hmm...... I wish I could meet another storm like that again, but last time I was unprepared...... But this time it must be ......"

"You can stop!" the female captain in front looked impassioned and eager to try, and the first mate in the back trembled with fear, "One more storm, another storm like that might be a good challenge for you, but we 'normal people' will have to fall apart!

The panicked reply inadvertently revealed his true thoughts, and in the eyes of the first mate, Valerie, who was of noble birth and had a good talent, was never regarded as a person like himself.

"Hah, I'm kidding! idiot. ”

The female captain, as if she had not noticed this at all, laughed wildly as usual, and then turned and headed for the entrance of the cabin.

By the way, she also gently patted the first mate's shoulder.

"You...... Where are you going?"

Realizing what kind of stupid words he had just said, and feeling a trace of disobedience from the "idiot" who seemed to have changed a little in the other party's tone at the end, the first mate who turned around in a stunned place had no choice but to ask such a sentence.

"Go on your daily patrols, fools! You slackers don't let me worry, and if you can't keep the ship in tip-top condition at all times, what if you really get into that kind of storm again?"

With a dashing wave of her hand to the man behind her, Valerie stepped leisurely into the familiar shadows.

......

......

......

The last storm, to be honest, Valerie still has lingering feelings when she thinks about it now. Not to mention anything else, although the "Blowing Snow" still lived up to expectations and did not have any more accidents in the middle of the voyage, when it returned to the lighthouse capital, the surprised face of the maintenance personnel when they repaired the hull made the female captain's heart suddenly "chuckle".

"You ...... Have you come back from 'hell'?"

And this sentence is the "complaint" of the childhood sweetheart Shapalina's face changed slightly.

"Really, it's so serious, it's just a walk from the edge of life and death. ”

- "That's it."

Walking in the silent corridor of the cabin, Valery's mind was somewhat heavy, the last trip could not be called a good memory, the storm...... In the midst of that storm, which was more terrible than the endless night, Valerie understood for the first time how ridiculous her own will and strength must be.

Also, thinking of this, the figures of Vina and Troy appeared in front of her again.

"It's been a long time since I've done it, and I want to exercise myself...... Hands and feet that have not fought for too long will be 'wasted.'" ”

It should be emphasized, but I always feel that there is no need to emphasize that her body can't see half of the "neglect of exercise" at all!

"Occasionally, I want to be a little stronger...... If I hadn't taken over the burden of my family and tried to be a carefree mercenary as I thought, would I have been completely different now?"

――Do you regret it?

The footsteps stopped at this moment, and the female captain, who spoke in a slightly sentimental tone, was worried about another story that would never have happened, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.

"Huh, the voice?"

At this moment, Valerie suddenly heard something unusual about it.

"It's strange, obviously those boys are on vacation, and this boat should be just me and the first mate right now...... But why is there a sound coming from below?"

There is the sailor's room.
