Volume 3 Kuroshio 9 Passers-by

- Do you think I'm handsome?

- I ask you, am I good-looking?

……

- to tell the truth.

……

- What a hypocritical guy, but you're not sincere enough in your hypocrisy, lad.

-You should look me in the eye, frown, look at me seriously, and then pretend to be very serious, think very seriously, and make me feel that you are thinking about the appearance of the person you have seen before, the handsome man, in your walnut-sized brain, and then make a judgment with your shit-like aesthetic.

- And then tell me very sincerely and seriously, of course you can't say that like now, ah, you are so handsome! Ah, you're pretty good-looking. Ah, you're actually okay.

- It's all extremely useless, you should say...... Sir, you're actually pretty good-looking. Don't say it's handsome, it's very handsome, it's too fake, it's good, look, what a neutral, a word that is neither hypocritical nor empty. Then you should say, especially your eyes, the depth that a man should have, full of stories with a hint of sadness, or ...... Gentle.

-Your face shows the fortitude of a warrior, which is difficult for other men to have, and you must be a brave and good fighter.

- If you boast about the scar on my face, or my muscles will be better.

- Of course, you have to boast about temperament. This sycophant has been tried and tested.

- It's a pity that you're a man, and if you're a woman, the effect doubles.

- Do you understand? Brat.

……

- Hmph, you fucking upright people like to play with their ass anymore.

- This hypocrisy does not prevent you from being a good person, boy. But if you really want to be a bad person, I can't stop you.

……

-Uh, some people are born with a very popular face and can not be handsome, but they don't hate him when they look at him.

-Apparently you're not there yet, it's not that your appearance is too bad, you look good...... It's okay, it's above average among men. Your womanhood will not be bad in the future, of course, I have to remind you to pay attention to your body, they will caress you and squeeze your little flesh dry. When you dress up a little more, this temperament will be fully displayed, and it will not lose to the sons and daughters of those aristocratic families.

- Sounds comfortable?

……

- Do you want me to compliment you? Stephen?

- Hmph, it's a pity I don't need your ass.

- Ah, where the did I go......

-Maybe it's the dwarves' aesthetic problems, but John and I didn't have a calm greeting when we were found by the dwarven rangers.

……

- shouted a shout. Their voices are loud, and although they are as thick as donkeys, they are more expensive than their voices. He whined and screamed.

-I don't see any kind of frugality on his face, and the way he stares and shouts is obviously not talking to us.

-I pushed John next to me, and just as I was about to run, I saw three dwarves rushing over on the hillside next to me. They did not wear heavy armor and did not carry heavy weapons. Armed with shields and short swords, they rushed towards us.

- At this point, it's not running, it's not running. In my heart, I treat them as people, no matter how bad they are, the dwarves also have communication with the north, and probably won't do anything to us.

- Alas, wishful thinking often results in oneself being injured. No matter what.

-It might be better to run, but I chose to show weakness. Damn it!

……

- Who did you learn from this kind of dialectical thinking and the ability to lift the bar? Gatsby?

……

-Of course, I know that showing weakness may cause some unnecessary trouble, but their expressions are very clear.

-The three of them can actually run when they are holding their swords against the two of us.

……

- Yes, we didn't run.

- I wanted to explain, but the three of them didn't want to hear me, and kept motioning for us to throw away our weapons.

-When they were ready to attack both of us, I struck. Dwarves are not very tall, and there are some moves that don't work for them. I kicked a dwarf away, and if I hadn't dodged so quickly, I would have been left with a scar on my arm.

- I dodged his blow with a flick of my hand and punched him in the face. I yelled for John to run, and we ran as fast as we could, but the dwarves blew their horns. As soon as the horn blew, the sound of the horn was heard in the distance.

-We ran as hard as we could, but the dwarves always followed us at a distance, constantly blowing trumpets to remind us of our location.

-It was impossible for us to be captured, but we ran far away, and in the end we were surrounded, and it was no longer the dwarven infantry that surrounded us, but the dwarven cavalry riding war sheep. Can you imagine how scary this is? A group of armoured dwarves riding tall sheep and carrying a war hammer in their hands was more powerful than an orc holding a sword.

……

- If you don't surrender, I'm going to be hammered to death immediately.

- So we surrendered. The surrender went smoothly, and of course they unarmed us very unceremoniously and locked us up.

-It was the middle of the night when they brought us back to town, and they threw us into a cellar-like place where they lived like marmots.

……

- What is a marmot...... Ah, that's not the point.

- They obviously didn't want to interrogate us that night, which was a good thing, so I opened the chains on my hands and feet.

……

-Pleasant? No, we escaped in a very messy way, not pleasant at all.

-I knocked out the guard at the door, I just hoped that I wouldn't kill him too hard, but there was really no way to do it at the time.

……

-I tried, but I couldn't, the thing wouldn't let you ride on it. So after trying twice, I quickly gave up, and if I had brought the guards in, I would be dead now.

-It's still hard to get out of town, and they don't run out so casually, maybe the presence of the two of us makes them nervous, or maybe they've been dutiful, and the dwarves on the sentry are patrolling instead of sleeping.

……

- Bypass, of course. It must be bypassed. In order to escape the pursuit, we finally came to an endless lake at dawn, and I was not sure if it was a lake, but there was no end in sight. So we fled along the lake. But before noon, the dwarven pursuers came after them.

- I wonder how these dwarfs tracked us down, how they found out about us without dogs!

……

- What can I do? In the end, the two of us were forced to rush into the lake.

……

- Surprised? I can't help it, I can only do this.

- Luckily, John can also swim, and we swam to the middle of the lake. The dwarves on the shore were whining, and I was glad that the dwarves couldn't swim. But one thing is for sure, if any of them dared to go into the water, they would suffer a little if they didn't drown.

-I was a little proud to see them helplessly watching us swim to the middle of the lake. Being taken prisoner is not only not a glorious thing, but also a dangerous thing.

-We swam to the middle of the lake in an attempt to escape their sight, but the dwarf's mind suddenly brightened. When we tried to get closer to the shore again, we found that their patrol was already waiting for us on the shore!

- It's simply ...... Do you know how disgusting this is?

- I was worried that they would have bows and arrows or something like that, so we swam again to the center of the lake.

-To be honest, I could have floated like this if I was naked in the water, but this pile of iron stuff on my body made me sink if I didn't paddle hard. The same goes for John.

- This kind of thing makes me very uncomfortable.

……

- Until we found a piece of wood floating on the water. It saved our lives.

……

- This is a fart, climb up? What do you think? Climb to the wood? Boy, if you have a chance, let's see if you can climb up to the wood.

-This wood allows us to speak, stick our heads out of writing, and we don't have to swing our legs too hard, which has helped us a lot.

……

- Yes, Mighty is right, the wood in the water is not for you to climb, and the one that helps you get your head out of the water is the greatest help for you.

-We rested for a while, and when night fell we drank some water, and we were still floating on the endless lake after more than a day without eating and hungry.

-The moon on this day was really round, so bright and bright, and the surface of the lake was reflected by the moon like a mirror. If I'm full of food and drink now, sitting by a campfire, I think I'll be in a beautiful mood to enjoy the beautiful view.

- But now, in addition to being hungry, I began to feel the cold.

- It's a very scary thing. Although the temperature here is not very low, in the water it is a different matter.

But just as John and I were cheering each other on, John suddenly shut his mouth, and then he said to me tremblingly, "Bill, look over there! ”

……

-What!

- On the lake! appeared...... A fucking long neck!

- A big oval head around the neck!

……

- How the do I know what that is! And that's not one! Just when my frightened lips were trembling, a head suddenly emerged from the water!

-If it weren't for the fucking not being so close to us, I would have been able to carry my back on the spot!

-Is that...... I've never seen anything like that, at least never on land, and those two heads don't seem to be from a single monster, they're two separate entities. I was too scared to move, I don't know if I peed or not, maybe I peed. I wish I hadn't peed!

……

- It's not fucking funny at all, I rarely have this kind of fear, but it's not on land, it's fucking in the water!

-I have now abandoned all distractions, and I hope that the two monsters will never find us, and we will hold on to the log, lift our heads out of the water, and swim away from them.

……

- How long did you swim? Dark to dawn, dawn to dark. When we found a small island in the lake, we were even happier than seeing our loved ones.

……

-When we drifted to the shore, we already felt swollen.

- The feeling is very uncomfortable. The two of us lay on the shore and really didn't want to move, saying that we were sleeping, but in fact we fainted at all.

-The next morning I woke up first, and I was much better than John, who was not only swollen, but also had a red rash.

- I looked around and made sure that it was not the land on the other side but an island, and I noticed that the island really did not seem small.

……

-Make a fire, I'm not sure if the temperature will make him better, but it's the only thing I can do for him at the moment.

……

-There is no food, and it is a blessing in misfortune that we can get back to our weapons after being caught, and the food has long been thrown away.

……

- Maybe the dwarves weren't literate, or couldn't read, and those books were thrown with my weapons.

……

-Now I am very hungry, and I can say that my hands are a little shaky from hunger.

……

-At this point, I can't care so much anymore, so as long as I seem to be able to eat, I have to eat it.

……

- The worst thing in the world!
