Episode 325:
Were people said to be adaptable animals?
On a night when the moon was exceptionally blue, Amy was leisurely resting with her legs crossed even while the ferry was dangerously rolling over in high waves.
“…The sound of the raging waves is like a lullaby. but you know me That the sea is not to be feared.”
There is such a story.
It is an unbelievable story that if you go through too much hardship, your brain will break down a little to protect your mind.
“It’s human imagination that creates fear… that nature and the sea just exist there…”
Maybe Amy’s brain is broken.
Or are you really enlightened?
Like a master who has mastered nature and life history, he spat out wonderful lines and drank dried fish.
“Um- um, what do you think? Are you still sleeping?”
Seeing as she is shaking someone wearing a mat, it seems that Amy has a new friend to sail with. However, unlike Amy, who was perfectly adapted to the sea, her new friend was suffering from motion sickness.
“…although sleeping. I haven’t slept at all.”
Suk-
Someone wearing a mat pulled it off with a tired face.
“I’m going to die of motion sickness in the fishy smell… How do you sleep?”
Amy’s new partner was Kim Eun-ah. When Sandra said that she would go to tell Amy that Yoosung Shin was alive, she gladly attached an escort.
[You may encounter pirates during the voyage, and there are too many evil people in the world for a woman to travel alone.] So
Kim Eun-ah and Amy started sailing as a team.
Of course, that wasn’t a voyage to visit Gaone’s Arcademi family and tell them that Lady Shin Eursion was alive.
The purpose of this voyage was to convey Sandra’s ambition to the captain of the Knights of Seiden and to prepare for the war ahead of the fact. In a way, it is an important factor in the success or failure of the attack.
“It’s a very uncomfortable world, but what can I do? we have to be patient Where we lived, all we had to do was send a message to Pocket!”
Kim Eun-ah nodded weakly and took a bite of the dried fish.
In such an important attack, there was no intention of complaining about the side dish, but as soon as it touched her mouth, Kim Eun-ah got goosebumps all over her body.
Jilgung-
The scent of the sea, to put it mildly.
To put it badly, it smells fishy.
Jilggung-
Kim Eun-ah was forced to chew the dried fish, which was hard to chew, and she became desperate to attack the tower.
“hey. Something. Don’t you want to eat something soft? Something like boiled eggs…”
A sleepless night.
Kim Eun-ah suddenly rhymed with the theme of ‘food’.
“Hehe yes. It’s good. boiled egg. but it’s surprising Eun-ah, it’s a little simple food for you.”
Amy nodded in agreement with Kim Eun-ah’s words. However, it was surprising that Kim Eun-ah, who had eaten all kinds of delicacies, chose a simple food called ‘boiled eggs’.
“It’s delicious when eaten with salt, but a hard-boiled egg is a bit plain.”
At Amy’s words, Kim Eun-ah laughed. Then, huddled in the cold sea breeze, he trembled and struck back.
“It’s a different story when it comes to eggs cooked in hot spring water. How creamy is the texture again?”
“Eh hot springs? Have you been to that place? Oh, if it were you, you would have borrowed the whole thing.”
Renting an entire lodging with hot springs was a story too big for ordinary people, but it was possible enough for Kim Eun-a, the successor of Shinsung Group.
“I bought one. Because my mother is in charge of the Japanese branch.”
However, Kim Eun-ah took another drink there.
“Oh, you bought it….”
Amy reflects on herself for underestimating Kim Eun-ah for a moment. Kim Eun-ah recalled the longing past as she covered herself with a blanket like a blanket in the increasingly severe cold.
“The water is hot. How nice it would be to soak in the hot spring water in an open-air bath under the open sky…”
“Heh… I hope so…”
Amy smiled like an idiot and thought of the warm hot spring. Although she is suffering from the cold sea breeze now, Amy felt warm just by thinking about the hot springs.
“…hot water and cool night air. That is the magic of hot springs.”
Kim Eun-ah also recalled that time with a tired face as if she missed her. After spending time on this ferry boat filled with the fishy smell of seafood and the salty sea breeze, Kim Eun-ah desperately wanted to take a bath.
“Hehe…”
And Amy nodded like an idiot and laughed, as if she felt the same way.
“If you soak your body like that and wait for about 10 minutes, the secretary puts a plate on top of the water! It floats.”
Thanks to Amy’s reaction, Kim Eun-ah continued her portrayal with a proud expression.
“Imagine. Cider cold enough to make your teeth ache and hot spring eggs mushy on a plate…”
Amy closed her eyes and imagined, just like Kim Eun-ah said.
A day when the night air is cold.
I see myself immersed in a hot spring, with a towel over my head, exhaling deeply with a satisfied face.
[Okay~ Shall we try some cider and eggs now?]
I smiled and ate the hot spring egg from the plate with a spoon, then rinsed my mouth with cold cider.
[Kyaa~!]
The moment Amy, who admired the refreshing taste of carbonic acid, opened her eyes with a happy face.
Slap-slap-
Amy faced the cruel reality again while looking at the open sea. And the same goes for Kim Eun-ah, who was immersed in sweet dreams.
“…When will Seiden arrive?”
When Kim Eun-ah, hugging her knees, asked in a weak voice, recalling the hot springs, Amy scratched her head.
“That maybe… two days? Of course, unless you encounter a typhoon or a sea monster along the way.”
It was a joke from Amy’s point of view, but Kim Eun-ah nodded helplessly.
“I see…”
As the atmosphere gradually grew darker, Amy smiled and began to change the mood.
“Oh right! Now I can slowly roll it up! Eun-ah, are you seeing this for the first time?”
Like a fisherman pulling a net, he pulled the line across the boat, and the baited fish came out one after another.
“Look at this~ There are a lot of guys with stripes this time, right? Because this guy smells bad! I’m going to dry the intestines, and I’m going to have to bake this guy with silver scales!”
However, while Amy was eagerly arranging and chattering about the fish, Kim Eun-ah was looking at only one place carefully.
gray sea.
The place where Kim Eun-ah’s eyes landed was an unidentified shadow creeping up from under the ferry.
Kim Eun-ah called Amy with a very sincere voice.
“Hey Amy. Why do you know that this is the Sea of Kings?”
Even so, Amy, who was removing the baited fish with a concentrated face, only replied indifferently, “Yes, yes.”
“Of course you know. That’s the information I was talking about. There are many bosses like Sandra in the King’s Sea.”
But what Amy knows is the half-penny truth. Kim Eun-ah shook her head, still keeping her gaze fixed on the sea.
“Then why do you think they chose the sea area?”
“Um, don’t you know that? Was the location good?”
“I heard from Benian’s mercenary group, but there is a legend in this area.”
A story Amy will never know.
A legend handed down only to those who have lived in the Sea of Kings.
“…There is a true emperor in the sea of the emperor.”
Kim Eun-ah, who had a hard expression on her face, spoke in a quiet voice.
“The king with a thousand teeth swallows a pear in one bite.”
Kim Eun-ah recited exactly what the mercenary had told her.
“Any island will sink when an angry king strikes its tail.”
However, after being defeated by the owners of the sea, led by Sandra, the ‘Emperor’ dedicated his name and disappeared.
So far, it has never appeared. It was only passed down as a legend through sailors and mercenaries in the sea.
[Listen carefully. That guy is no ordinary fish. Do you know why we praised her as the emperor for nothing?]
Kim Eun-ah recalled the sign the mercenary had told her.
[He controls the weather. The beads in the eyes are that power. I can create storms or cast dark clouds at will.]
The sky was as dark as the mercenary’s horse.
It wasn’t the darkness that naturally came at night, but rather thick dark clouds.
[What will happen to the sea when that body that is bigger than an island approaches the ship? The sea is calm without a single wave…]
Unlike before, the sea was so calm. It was as quiet as a lake, and even silence flowed. As if the sound of the waves I had heard countless times was a lie, there was only silence.
[If you see the king in person, you will never be able to forget it. Gleaming under the sea…]
Kim Eun-ah pointed with her finger at a point in the sea she had been staring at.
“Look over there.”
gray sea.
Ironically, a huge red jewel that shines so beautifully in it.
[…If you look at his red eyes.]
Kim Eun-ah, who stood up on the ferry, threw off her mat and said in a subdued voice.
“…is the king.”
