At this moment, a new passenger that intended to board in Damir Harbor carried his suitcase as he walked onto the deck.
After sending the telegram, Blazing Danitz considered that the Captain might instruct him on certain matters. So he decided to cut the holiday short and await orders at the capital of the Rorsted Archipelago.
Through his own channels, he had obtained a ticket, put on a wig, blackened his eyebrows, and easily boarded the White Agate, waiting for the liner to blow its whistle.
"pfft- damn it pfft— Gerhman do you see that? Pfft- I can bet even the clown in the circus will give out a trophy of appreciation for the awesome disguise!" Luno bit his lower lip holding back laughter, his shoulders trembling from how hard he tried to hold back laughter, while in his mind he was already laughing freely.
Klein also smiled brightly, he didn't stop or push Luno who was gripping his hand firmly.
Suddenly Danitz stared at them, and froze. Seeing that, Luno squatted down and covered his mouth, this is too funny, Danitz reminds me of one of the character in anime! HAHA.
If it continued like this, Luno wouldn't be able to hold back his laughter and forget his attitude as a noble. After about 5 minutes, Luno stood up and cleared his throat, and wisely avoided Donna and Denton's gaze.
Klein was about to leave before stopping and turned to look at Luno, the understanding Luno nodded, and the two of them walked towards Danitz. One smiled like a gentleman, the other smiled obliquely with a teasing charm.
Klein calmly walked towards the Vice Admiral Iceberg's fourth boatswain, locking his eyes on the other party.
The smile on Blazing Danitz froze when he saw the young adventurer, with crazy blood flowing through his veins, slowly approach And His Partner who have a teasing smile over his beautiful face. He suddenly had a thought, Run! Run as fast as you can! Do your best to escape! Even if I have to use Beyonder powers and expose my identity, I have to flee immediately!
In his eyes, the reserved and stern adventurer was a genuine monster draped in human skin! And one who can be friend with mad adventurer is no better!
Just as Danitz was about to make his move, he suddenly calmed down because he remembered what happened last night: the adventurer and terrifying ghost human hadn't attacked him and had allowed him to leave!
That is to say, he doesn't necessarily have the hostile intention of hunting me down. He can be reasoned with to resolve this crisis... Directly running away would only lead to conflict... Thoughts ran through Blazing Danitz's mind. Relying on his rich experience, he forcefully controlled his legs and appeared to wait in place.
Luno was quietly disappointed because Danitz didn't give the excessive response he expected. What a waste of time.. I should have teasing him more...
Klein walked over, one step at a time, and smiled.
"Good morning, we meet again."
"Hello there, look like fate want us to meet, huh?"
One give him little smile, and the other too beaming to his eyes!
That gentle and courteous smile of his made Danitz shudder for some inexplicable reason. He pursed his lips and said, "Good morning." And fuc* fate, I don't want to meet you...
Klein maintained his persona, his expression turning cold.
Phew... Klein was truly invincible with that power... I'm a little jealous. A breath escaped from his luno pink lips, he began to feel annoyed with his own path.
"What are you doing on the ship?"
"Heading to the Rorsted Archipelago," Blazing Danitz, who was also considered a famous pirate, answered honestly.
"Why are you heading there?" Klein calmly asked.
Danitz forced a smile and said, "Waiting for our Captain's orders. Perhaps there will be a mission arranged for me."
"you always say captain and captain, did you have a crush to your captain?" with a bold question Luno give him a look.
Danitz froze, then his ear began to burn with red color. "W-who's have a crush! I-I don't have a crush on my captain!!"
Luno gave him a deadpan look, then sigh helplessly. "you are terrible with lying, is Lady Edwina not telling you that? I remember she have a straight forwards word..."
Danitz frowned he gave Luno a furious Look, but Luno just shrugged indifferently.
Meanwhile Klein stared at the conversation of the two bored. After making sure Luno didn't have anything else to say, he returned to the topic.
"Which cabin do you live in?"
"First-class, Room 312." Danitz raised the ticket in his hand to eye level.
"Oh? What a coincidence, my room is beside your room, 311, finally we can be neighbors, Gerhman!"
Danitz felt himself returning to the first state taken by the captain, not understanding what Luno was saying at all. Meanwhile Klein wondered how Luno could understand his words in just 1 sentence?Maybe it's one of the mysteries that Luno has.
Klein nodded indiscernibly.
"Is there a servant room?"
"Yes," Blazing Danitz subconsciously answered, but his heart was at a loss. He had no idea why the man was posing such a question at him.
He can see how the man beside this man grinning ear to ear. He had a bad omen.
Then, he heard the man say to him in a flat tone like he was speaking to a subordinate,
"You'll sleep there."
Ah? Where? I'll be sleeping in the servant's room? Aren't you going to chase me off the ship? Danitz was somewhat stunned as he blurted out, "Why?"
Klein glanced at him and said one word in a faint voice, "Hostage."
And this is where Luno, holding on to the railing of his body trembling, he tries to regulate his own emotions but still can't.
Hostage? He's worried that I'm a planted agent on the ship, making it easier for the pirate fleet to plunder the White Agate, so he plans to use me as a hostage? That's reasonable. If it really is as he suspects, then it wouldn't stop the pirate fleet's attack even if I'm chased off the ship. It's better to hold me hostage to aid in the negotiations... Dogsh*t. I hate this kind of arrogant, cold person who doesn't say much. They always only say a word or two, or even just an utterance, leaving me to guess the rest! I-if I'm really not his match, then I wouldn't even mix with such company! Why did I previously think that his temper matched my tastes? I must have been mad... Danitz gritted his teeth as he thought.
"Fine." He exhaled helplessly.
"Oh man, you are so pathetic..." Luno give him a snort and shook his head, then he look at gerhman.
"if you need some maid clothes, I have one in my room, just knock alright?"
Hearing that, Klein just gave him a thoughtful expression then nodded, while Danitz have a flustered expression, it was inexplicable whether he was embarrassed or upset, maybe both.
With a cheeky smile, Luno then give the two a look and said "let's go"
Still in his annoyance, Danitz hardened his jaw and asked subconsciously "where?"
But Luno didn't answer and instead walked to the cabin.
"To your cabin." Klein maintained the perfect Gehrman Sparrow persona.
Phew... Blazing Danitz carried his suitcase, reluctantly leading the monster draped in human skin to the cabin. They went to the upper deck and arrived at Room 312.
Luno give gerhman a pat on shoulder then goes to his own room beside Danitz Room,
-----.
After opening the door, Klein took a quick look and found the place several times better than second class.
The living room was about thirty square meters and was connected to a master bedroom and three servant rooms. It had a separate bathroom, a standard wardrobe, and a mahogany desk.
Danitz put down his suitcase and glanced at the servant rooms. He suddenly thought of an important question.
"Is the master bedroom going to be left empty just like that?"
The moment he finished speaking, he already knew the answer.
"It's mine." Klein smiled in a gentleman-like fashion.
As expected, to watch over me... Danitz felt depressed.
Klein paced on the carpet in the room and said while pointing to the door, "Come with me downstairs."
"... Alright." Danitz was a little lost, unsure what the man was up to.
The adventurer and famous pirate duo soon arrived at the second-class cabins and found Klein's original room.
After opening the door, Klein didn't enter. He pointed inside and said to Danitz, "Tidy the things on the desk and put them in the suitcase."
What? "Things? You want me to help tidy things up? Danitz was almost stunned.
In a blink of an eye, he felt a surge of anger rush to the top of his head.
How can I, Blazing Danitz, Vice Admiral Iceberg's fourth boatswain, a famous pirate with a bounty of 3,000 pounds, be driven like a servant!
My dignity and my reputation won't allow me to accept such humiliation!
Klein gave him a cold look when he saw that Blazing Danitz was standing motionless like a petrified statue.
Danitz's body suddenly trembled.
He took a deep breath and replied with a smile which looked worse than crying, "Alright."
Aggrieved, he bent over and entered the cabin that didn't have a very high ceiling, swiftly putting the items that were scattered outside into the suitcase.
----.
Instead of room 312 having a strange air, in room 311, Luno casually read the reply to his father's letter, his father here really pampered him, even the letter that Luno sent yesterday had reached even he gave the materials to start his ritual, not letting his son alone go to look for his own materials.
"He really deserves to be called a father... and for moms... she's quiet but that's not to say she doesn't worry about me, it feels like their nature is reversed... The father is the one who is always worried about his son and takes care of everything, while the mother maintains an untouchable noble nature..."
Luno breathed a pitiful breath. He really loves his family here, he hopes that nothing bad happens in the future that will involve his family.
Luno then stood up and made a spiritual wall, and began to prepare a ritual described in his father's gift letter.
After finishing the preparations, Luno glanced at the notary sheet, then he stood in the middle and began chanting his mantra
"I!
"I called on my name!
"A spirit that wanders in a bottomless dimension
"Beautiful creatures that are friendly to humans!"
Instantly the flame in the candle turned green, and right in the middle of a silhouette began to be seen, she had a tall body with a small ribbon around her neck, her clothes were quite unique in this era, with some of the ends as if burned by black flames, her arms had a black gradation.
Luno blinked, this body belonged to a Woman, a Woman with a Nine-tail—Kitsune! One hand she holds an umbrella that has the sound of a bell, the ears above her head twitch, her hair is soft red. Her face was beautiful with golden reptile eyes. The kitsune blinked then smiled slightly and chuckled—oh! Did I just pop up a big shot??
"Little Human, are you the one summon me?" her voice sounded beautiful, but it also sounded wrong.
Half sighing that he could hold for some time, Luno finally spoke in a friendly tone.
"Yes that's right, are you willing to be my messenger?" The kitsune giggled, then she looked at Luno, and spoke, her smile indelible from her seductive red lips.
"Hmm, let me see, you're so attractive, and- cute, well I agree! But you have to give me a gem as payment."
"Oh? How easy is it? Should I be worried? Luno thought, but then dismissed the thought and gave a smile after being a little surprised that he passed because of his face...
Luno took the contract and wrote his name on the contract.
'Luno Cadwell'
Luno gave the contract to the kitsune in front of him. The kitsune took a pen and wrote his name
'Lucine'
The contract sheet shone, then stopped, Luno could feel the bond of the contract, kitsune—Lucine smiled sweetly, then with the speed of Light pinching Luno's cheek and disappearing with a small laugh that echoed, Luno looked at her in shock. Back like all, Luno was in a blank state looking out the window.
Before the kitsune left, she whispered something "such a cutie, I give you little of my charm"
And Luno had already smelled the powder blown by Lucine.
Luno stiffly looked at his reflection in the mirror, seeing nothing different, he sighed.
"Haa...." After being sure nothing had changed from his appearance, Luno cleaned the candle and everything else. He took his messenger note and was going to write, but seeing that it was still day, Luno stopped, so he left and decided to wait for night to arrive before sending a letter to his father.
----.
Woo!
The White Agate sailed out into the open sea and moved at a speed of 13 knots until then.
Luno spent time writing his scrip and exploring. He started writing scripts since meeting Gerhman, and changed a few things, and it helped him digest the potion. As long as the actors in the script don't realize that he is in the script, then everything is said to be perfect.
He looked at his pocket watch, and looked out the window. His gaze is a little farther away, he begins to remember the scene in the novel, his life before the reborn, and his destiny here which he can see as a pawn for the gods. He wanted to talk about this with anyone, but his throat always hurt when he tried to talk about it.
The gods won't just stand still if something gets in their way, just take the amanies. She is arguably the most tolerant, but a person who actually reads the story will know that 'she' is an ambitious woman, if for example the woman knows that Klein Moretti's family is hindering Klein towards the fool, she will not hesitate to get rid of them.
'sacrifice is nessercary for saving other lives' Luno recalled those words, he also knew very well that there would be no peace without proper compensation.
"Happiness is to be preserved" is one of the sentences in a mural he read when he was 8 years old in this world. It is a mural of the Cadwell family,
"Klein is a sacrifice... along with Lumian, and Jenna, will no one tell them, that they are chess pawns to the gods? You all just a tool for them. A mere doll to their plan. If you fail, your loved one will be the one pay the price... that was the harsh truth." Luno leaned himself on the chair as his amber eyes looked lifeless, at a time like this, Luno felt a bitter taste on his tongue.
"May the sacrifice find their own happiness in the end of the era and can go to take new beginnings with hope who never gone." Luno silently prayed to The three star goddess and closed his eyes, enjoying a few hours in the audience seats before returning to the stage.
