Chapter Twenty-Four: Mr. "Roundhead Whale".
There is a very strange coincidence here - that is, a year ago, before the inferior met Russell, he was the "mindless" who didn't think anything; And the strangulation is still in the furnace of pain, constantly accumulating pain and anger...... He's the one who is "unhappy."
Now, however, the form has been completely reversed: the temper of the strangulation has improved, the leadership has become stronger, but the intelligence has declined; The inferior loses the taunting ability that most of the Happy Island hates, and the cold, smelly face and temper that can freeze penguins to death, but gets a brain that he never used before.
Now when they travel together, the person who makes the plan is the inferior - he never had an idea when he was in the executive department.
The strangulation is responsible for the contact with people...... If it is not necessary, the inferior will not speak at all in front of others now.
So after strangling and paying the money and retiring from the house, the scarred lion's head, who looked extremely unfriendly, was kind and calm to ask the proprietress about Yongquan Island.
"Where to play? Here on Yongquan Island, there is a lot of fun everywhere. What a lot of guests."
The proprietress with a fish's head on her neck can even spit out the fishy smell of seafood when she speaks, and has a strange "dialect" taste.
"Have you been here for a long time? If you have enough time, you should definitely try a salt bath in the Dead Sea area. Pickling it is good for the body. Take a boat from Lake Michigan and then cross Lake Victoria, and it's the Dead Sea."
"By boat?"
Well, there's a boat at the door. Let's take about fifteen minutes."
「…… So what if we want to sit on the subway on the ground? Where should I get on the bus from? 「
As soon as the strangulation heard about the boat, he knew that most of the inferior people would not be able to go.
「…… Ground iron?"
The proprietress was even stunned when she heard this term.
She pondered for a moment, and then it dawned on her, "You mean the waterways, right? We certainly don't have any iron, that kind of thing that will wear through with rust. However, the waterways are too dangerous for you non-aquatic travelers, and if you fall down, you may drown.
"But if you must go, just go out and turn left and walk to the end."
"But what if one of us gets seasick?"
"If you get seasick, you can only do it in the waterway, you can't help it."
"Can't you take a taxi? Don't have a floating car? 「
"Oh, you should be in the Caspian region, and you still have a floating car. No, that kind of thing. You can at least get the inner ring area, so that you can park the floating car. Look at it, go out and see, how do we park in this place?"
I felt that the conversation might be endless, so I strangled and politely said goodbye to the nagging proprietress non-stop. The inferior one didn't say a word the whole time, just stood quietly behind the strangulation and motionless, like a dummy.
If it had been put before, it might have been strangulation.
Even if his pride prevents him from being rude to civilians who don't attack him, he will certainly scare or threaten people.
Sighing in their hearts, they walked out.
And they were immediately dumbfounded
There was only less than three meters of road in front of the inn, and at the door was a large river with a width of at least thirty meters—for them, this was already a "big river".
Under the street lamps in the middle of the night, the water shimmers with a golden light.
There is also a ring of handrails around the place where the river meets the road, and there are only a few places...... For example, there is an area without handrails in front of the store, and there are wooden stakes for tethering boats. This should be reserved for people to get on board. The water is only about a meter high from the roadside, not even close.
On both sides of the river are various types of boats, but basically none of them are very fast, and they are all "sightseeing boats". The bows and sterns of these ships are lit so that they can be seen from a distance, and their light shines on the water. Warm golden lights illuminate the whole city from the shore and from the water.
The passage of these vessels was extremely orderly. Look across the river from the direction of the inferior and strangled them, the one who is close to them
side, boat traffic is from left to right; And the side away from them is from right to left...... It's like driving on the highway of Happiness Island, driving on the right.
Connecting the two banks of the river is a high raised arch bridge. There are also pedestrians walking on it......
But more pedestrians are "swimming in the water".
The boats were not fast enough, apparently to avoid these pedestrians, or "tourists", in the water. On both sides of the river, the combined width of these boats is less than ten meters. The rest is reserved for these "tourists".
These people are the type of psychic disease that is visible to the naked eye and is difficult to survive on land. They swam in the water, but they were so comfortable and free.
"At noon...... Is there a river here?"
Strangler muttered.
There was an extremely tall and fat giant who had just swam out of the river.
He is at least three meters tall, has a very large head, and has an unusually smooth scalp without hair. The mere fact that he stood by the strangulation and the inferior doubled the pressure on them. And this heavyweight fat boy is quite easy when he swims in the river, but as soon as he gets ashore, he begins to breathe a little, and his walk is obviously a little difficult and cumbersome.
"Don't you know?"
The giant said in a very deep and loud voice, so loud that it could almost be heard by the people on the other side: "Yesterday and today, the Michigan Lake District was restricted from travel, and the water was just released at six o'clock."
"Restricted?"
"Oh, you're tourists. Arrived at noon today? Oh...... I see, it's you who are seasick, hahahahaha!"
The giant was stunned for a moment, reacted, and couldn't help laughing. The laughter went straight to the front desk of the hotel, and the proprietress couldn't help but cover her mouth.
After laughing, the giant gave a friendly pointer, "Then you have to be careful, don't go to the Caspian Sea today. Every 14 days, we have an area of waterways that need to be drained. It must be re-purified and oxygen-infused before it can be refilled, otherwise the water will be dirty and easy to get sick. And the inside of the waterway must be cleaned...... There are always unscrupulous people who like to litter. The fourteen districts of Yongquan Island happen to take turns to come around.
"Why don't you go down and experience it?" It's rare that this water is freshly put and very clean. Even if you accidentally drown, it's no problem to drink it directly, hahahahaha! 「
The giant laughed and kept patting his fat belly.
「…… I have a question, but it may not be very polite. 「
The inferior didn't speak, and his voice came straight from his throat: "If you can answer, I would like to ask...... Is your soul a whale?"
"In fact, we also know a friend who has a cetacean spirit. Rather, that's why we thought of coming to Springspring Island."
And the strangulation made a calm sound, and the first time to find a way for the inferior.
"Hahaha, sure enough, I look like a whale too, right? They also said I didn't look like that—somewhere! 「
Unexpectedly, the giant became happier because of it.
He slapped his belly even more cheerfully, and said happily, "Then you will think of me as a round-headed whale! I don't care about this kind of thing...... If you get lost, feel free to ask me!"
With that, he threw one of his business cards to the strangler, and walked happily to the inn.
"Reiko, let's start with five catties of fried small fish to appetize!"
He shouted energetically, and his voice penetrated very clearly.
The proprietress also heard a vague voice from inside, "Are the ingredients still the same as before?"
"It's the same, the salad dressing is full, and then a bunch of soju, hahahahahaha!"
The giant's hearty laughter came from within.
And Strangled looked at the inferior with some doubts, "Is there such a whale as a roundhead whale?" Why haven't I heard of it?"
"I didn't even go to school, you ask me?"
"That's a coincidence, I haven't even been on it."
The two stared at each other, but finally the strangulation broke the silence: "Ocean
There are many kinds of creatures, and it's normal that we don't know each other."
"That's right."
The inferior is as good as a stream, nodding yes.
