Chapter 158: Getting on the boat
"I haven't asked you yet, why did you become a woman today?" Esther asked.
Banabe cleared his throat and rubbed his Adam's apple twice, and his neck was smooth, and he, or her, replied in a very gentle voice, "Because I want to see my friend, and please call me Barney." β
Although Matteo didn't participate much in the conversation between the two, the moment he heard this sentence, his expression became extremely subtle, between fear and pity: "Is there something wrong with you......"
Barney winked at Matteo.
Matteo's hand subconsciously touched into his arms, Esther quickly grabbed his arm, she had already seen the "sun" charm in Mattio's hand, Mattio's eyes were in a trance, it seemed that he wanted to give Barney a holy sun purification.
"Don't irritate him, you know that the person who can change your face is very talented!" Esther gritted her teeth and said to Barney.
Because this person only changed his appearance into a woman, and his height of one meter seven or eight did not change, jealousy made Esther resentful.
Barney smiled very proudly, only this smile was similar to Barnabe's original appearance: "Remember, you want to call me Barnie, do you hear?" Banabe is just a pseudonym I use outside~"
"Don't talk in the same tone as coquettish!!"
Matteo and Esther lashed out at the same time.
Barney's eyes turned and happily pointed to the dockside: "The ship is coming, let's go quickly!" β
Looking at Barney's cheerful back, Esther rubbed her right eyebrow with pain on her face.
Matteo whispered to her, "So this man, is it a man or a woman?" β
"I don't know, I can't tell the difference, you just assume that he is her now."
Esther said this very sincerely.
Crane didn't do that when he played the "Faceling", the problem should still be with Banabe, this man's brain circuit is too weird. Has Klein ever had women's clothing before? No, I can't think about it anymore, it's getting weirder and weirder to make up for it, so just ask him directly the next time I write a letter......
Esther's thoughts drifted away.
Approaching Barnacle Wharf was a medium-sized boat with a white whale flag, its sails painted with whale skeletons, all painted gray and white, looking like it had been assembled from stone, but Ester was sure it was still made of wood.
Because of the approaching of the ship, the nearby dock workers or sailors all flashed farther away, subconsciously avoiding this place. They seem to be unfazed by the pirate ship's docking, and only want to stay away from the people here and not get into trouble.
Esther and Matteo also walked up to Barney, and before the pirate ship could fully come to a stop, a tall figure had already jumped up from the bow, looking rather anxious.
With a thud, the man landed heavily on the dock, but fortunately the wooden beams and planks were strong enough to carry the weight of the extraordinary man.
"Barneyβ"
The person who jumped off the bow of the boat shouted loudly, hugged the nervous Barnie directly, and even wrapped Barney tightly in his arm, picked him up and spun around in place twice.
When Barney was put on the ground, her face was flushed, and she looked angry and annoyed: "I told you every time, don't lift me like that!" β
What's more, there are two more people next to him...... Barney tilted his head and saw Matteo's disgusted look and Esther's wicked smile.
After letting go of Barney, the man turned around and smiled brightly at Esther and Matteo.
This is a lady about two meters tall, although the body is not full of muscles, but it is quite tight and shapely, the dark blue slightly curly long hair is scattered behind the back of the head in a bunch, only a few bangs cover her deep contoured features, hanging down on those black eyes.
"Hello!" Her greeting voice was also very loud, "You are the friends Barney mentioned, right?" β
In view of the fact that Matteo's face had always been delicate, Esther took the lead in taking the woman's outstretched hand and touching the thick layer of hard calluses on it: "Hello! Just call me Hamel, it's nice to meet you. β
"Hahaha, don't be so inhibited, lady from Rune! You can call me Ksenia," Ksenia said, leaning over and putting her hand to her mouth, and whispering to Esther, "Barney is a difficult child to deal with, and I have wronged you!" β
Barney, who was standing next to her, pinched her eyebrows hard, and her already annoyed face worsened: "I heard all of them! Don't tell her what she has or doesn't! β
Esther had already laughed in her heart, and she shook Ksenia's hand twice: "It's okay! We all know what kind of personality she is. β
Ksenia then turned to Matteo and held out her hand to him: "This gentleman, I don't know what to call you?" β
"Hello, Matteo, Lady Ksenia." Matteo put on an unnatural smile.
"Okay, let's get on board!" Ksenia patted Esther and Matteo on the shoulders hard, Esther was fine, Matteo almost had a weak leg and was directly slapped and fell.
"Oh, sorry! I sometimes forget to control my strength. But to Ksenia's surprise, the rather petite and effeminate lady had no effect.
"So are you ready?" When Ksenia asked, Matteo and Esther were stunned for a moment.
"Ready!"
"Then let's goβ"
Esther turned her head angrily, it wasn't her who shouted just now, someone imitated her voice!
Barney stood beside the three of them, sinister in her smile.
Before Esther could ask Ksenia what she was preparing, Ksenia suddenly grabbed Esther and Matteo's shoulders hard, and she held them tightly in her hands.
The next moment, the feet of the two were in the air.
Matteo's face turned pale, and he almost gritted his teeth to keep him from screaming at the change.
The fierce wind swept the bodies of the three men, mainly the heaviest Ksenia, allowing her to soar directly into the air, and Esther's cloak was blown to the sound of "hunting", as if it could float into the sky at any moment.
Ksenia laughed and dragged the two of them up, and they flew through the air with such recklessness that they caught the attention of many people on the docks.
It wasn't until Ksenia landed on deck that the short flight came to an end, and Mattio took two steps to the side, leaning weakly against the side of the ship, apparently unaccustomed to such a "way of traveling" with his feet off the ground.
Barney looked around blankly and shouted at the bow of the boat, "Wait, what about me?" I'm not on board yet! β
Ksenia also shouted in reply to him: "Come up yourself!" β
Immediately after, she took out a folded piece of paper from her arms and slapped it directly on the side of the boat: "Be careful, don't burn my boat!" β
Esther couldn't hold back, a very gloating smile appeared on her face, and Ksenia turned around and squeezed her eyes: "It's a rare opportunity to make this bad girl unlucky." β
Esther didn't speak, but nodded repeatedly.
A depressed Barney snapped her fingers, and a flame burst into flames on the piece of paper.
The next moment, her figure disappeared from more than ten meters away, emerged from the flames on the bow of the ship, and after a light turn, she fell to the ground and stood firm.
"It's too much! You're making a fool of me on purpose! Barney was visibly stunned, "Wait, this looks like the letter I used......"
Ksenia laughed and beckoned to the rest of the ship: "Let's go, let's go to the mermaid-infested sea to the east!" β
Then Ksenia noticed that Barnie's tuxedo had a lot of burnt black damage: "How did you get your clothes, do you need to change them?" Do you want me to find you a dress? β
"Don't!" Barney quickly rejected the "kind" offer, "I burned when I was fighting people before. β
"You're also a good player at playing with fire, how can anyone burn it on you?" Ksenia led a few people into the cabin, "Come, I'll take you to the guest room." I'm not a professional passenger liner here after all, so you can only do it. β
Ksenia patted her head and patted Esther on the shoulder with a big grin: "I forgot to say, welcome to the 'Whalebone', I am the captain, the first mate and the second mate have returned to Vrsack this time, and they will be back next month." β
Barney touched her chin, a gesture that occasionally appeared when Banabe was thinking: "I don't understand why the name of your ship is so strange, it sounds very unlucky." β
Ksenia shook her head vigorously: "You don't understand! Whales are great animals! β
"I know a big animal...... "Matteo muttered quietly beside him, "is it because of the whale fall?" β
"Whale fall? What's that? Barney raised her eyebrows curiously, Matteo knew about this, but he didn't know about it, which made Barney feel a little dissatisfied.
Banabe, who had always crushed Matteo with his intelligence and provoked the anger of the other party, suddenly lost that sense of superiority.
Esther didn't interject, it was the first time she had heard the word Fursack, and she could only vaguely perceive that it was referring to a certain phenomenon.
However, after Matteo explained, Esther quickly understood the process.
Matteo had the rare opportunity to raise his head in front of Barnie: "When a whale dies, its huge body sinks into the ocean, becoming a place of nutrients and habitat for all kinds of creatures, and a home to many lives - and this whole process is summed up as a whale fall." β
Ksenia clapped her hands twice, "I didn't expect you to know this, I thought you were from the same land as Barnie." β
After Barney learned the answer, he quickly recovered his disdainful expression: "Tsk, it turns out that it was just because of this feeling, I thought there were some secret rumors." β
Ksenia slapped Barney on the back: "It's not just feelings! The sea is home to countless lives, occupying a much wider area than the land, so don't underestimate the life in the sea! β
"Of course I won't underestimate it, I still have to rely on the mermaids to help." Barney thumped her back twice in pain.
