Chapter 314 – 13. Regina, the Vicious Outlaw of Cedgetooth Harbor

– Peruk

“Did you not fold your shoulders?”

“You can’t fold your shoulders.”

“What are you talking about, you crazy bitch… !”

Tup put her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist and glared at the troubled bully. He spat curse words and was about to attack, but when he saw the sword on my waist and Arsil standing next to me, he spit on the floor and quietly disappeared.

“The bastard has no courage.”

“Now is not the time to react to each and every dispute. If the captain has brought a mission, completing it quickly is effective in building trust.”

“All right.”

Nagging like her mother. I tapped her on the head of the little Mahan Arsil, and she slapped my wrist. She glared at me with orange eyes hidden under her robes.

“All right.”

“… Joy.”

Puruk, the robe swaying in line with her snout. Arsil, who was cute at that figure, followed Arsil, who was walking plumply, then found a sailboat anchored in the corner of the harbor. Arsil pretended to be her and pointed with her finger and said,

“That is our sailboat.”

“You look fine.”

“Are you interested in boats?”

Arsil, her eyes lit up with a well-deserved compliment, looked at me with her curious gaze. She doesn’t just like weapons, she also likes ships. Feeling the pressure of her sticky gaze, she shook her head, and Arsil, disappointed, drooped.

“If you ride, what should the hierarchy be like?”

“Even though the captain, navigator, and some executives are contracted with the prince, it is a rule to listen to orders from me and Mr. Cassano. However, since I am an outsider during the voyage, I must acknowledge the captain’s authority and follow his instructions.”

“Well, I’m not an expert for nothing.”

Arsil, who nodded her head, explained her captain.

“The captain, Barkmun, is kind and diligent, but he is quite strict during the voyage. He’ll talk about the hierarchy and the sailors first, so I hope you don’t get caught in the middle of the day.”

“Okay, what else should I be careful about?”

“Doesn’t exist. Ask Bakmun where to go, who to chase, who to catch, what mission to do. You can give orders, etc., But keep his authority on the ship. You just have to keep that in mind.”

“Ah, okay Mom.”

“I am not Cassano-sama’s mother… !”

Arsil jumped up and hit my stomach with his forehead. At that time, when we were laughing and petting the boat in strange pain, we arrived in front of the sailboat before we knew it and went up to the boat listening to the noisy voices of the sailors.

“Oh! Lord Arsil!”

Tak, Tak, Tak, someone who had been ordering various things while pounding the deck with his feet, found me and Arsil and came running like a dart.

Judging by the captain’s hat, moustache, and striking uniform on his head, I judged him to be a captain, so I held out my hand and greeted him first.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Cassano.”

“Ah! Is this him?”

“You’re right. I vouch for your identity.”

“Haha, that’s it. Nice to meet you, Mr. Cassano, I am Bakmun, the captain of the Dawn Breeze!”

“I heard you well.”

He grabbed his calloused, strong hand and shook it vigorously. Bakmun smiled, showing off his teeth, glanced at Arsil and me, and spoke first.

“Arsil-nim’s personality suggests that he would have talked about it as he came, but I will talk first. What I have been guaranteed by the prince is that my opinion will be the top priority when it comes to sailing, and it’s okay to talk about missions and other things, but sailing is entirely my authority.”

“All right. I don’t really want to be a captain, and I don’t know the ship well. You have done so far, so I believe that you will do well.”

“Oh, to treat a guy like me so graciously. I am delighted!”

“… ? No, no. It’s best to leave it to the experts.”

Haha! Did you hear everything? I am an expert Bachman from today!!!”

“Ooh ooh!!!”
“Expert!!! I want some rum!!!”
“My wish is to sleep with a mermaid one night!!!”

As I smiled while listening to the stupid sound, Arsil’s hand that grabbed my collar became stronger. As she peeked into her hood, her face was flushed red, so she was not used to jokes like that.

“Then please wait a moment. After preparing for departure, I will explain the mission, the port, and the events of the voyage step by step.”

“Ah, it’s enough just to tell Arsil.”

“Ah! I will.”

We shook hands once more, and then we dispersed. After watching the sailors running around the deck, the Bark Moon giving instructions, and various people doing their part, I went into the cabin with Arsil.

“Whoa.”

“If it’s a report, it would be better if we listened together.”

“Because I believe in Arsil, and I think Arsil will explain it more easily.”

“… We haven’t met in less than a day.”

“That’s enough, nice, charming, obligatory… Again, you are steady.”

“… Three wives… “

Chuck, Chuck, Arsil, who had moved a little away from me, glared at me, then with a hook, pulled back her hood.

After arranging the ends of her light brown hair that was slightly wet with sweat, she turned her head and, in fact, felt my gaze staring at her.

“Do you have something to say?”

“Aren’t you being too wary?”

“Three wives… !”

“Haha, ah. Come to think of it, even though he is the captain, he was too polite to me? I’m just a mercenary, why are you acting so lowly?”

“They know Mr. Cassano as a knight.”

“Me?”

At the absurd answer, she pointed her finger at herself and asked again, but Arsil tilted her head and answered again.

“Lord Cassano.”

“No, you’re not a knight?”

“I explained that I was a knight. Even if you are a mercenary now, if you rely on Cassano-sama’s skills and Prince Oberon’s trust, I decided that Cassano-sama would become a knight in no time.”

“Even if you were not born a knight and suddenly become a knight… “

“And if you go on a voyage, you have to have the name of a knight in order so you don’t look down on it. If they were mere mercenaries, would Captain Bakmun treat them as politely as before?”

“Hmm… “

“As soon as it sets sail, the ship becomes a completely isolated society. If you don’t occupy the highest place in it, you don’t know how it will disappear.”

“Still, the prince hired me… “

“I don’t really believe in humans.”

Quickly, Arsil looked out the window and shook his shoulders. I asked her what she had come up with, taking a sneak peek to break her mood at the time of her troubles.

“You don’t believe me either?”

“… “

Arsil, who glanced at me with only her pupils, swooped, stared at her window again and said.

“Yes.”

That’s right, if you don’t believe me, I have nothing to say.

“… “

“… “

“… No, I’m kidding.”

“Yes?”

“No, no.”

I’m sorry, I have to be patient. Eventually, laughter broke out.

“Khehehe.”

“You heard that too… !”

Kuuk, holding onto the hem of the robe, Arsil glared at him and began to indignantly flapping his wings inside the robe.

***

-Shoot it!

After enjoying a brief chat with Arsil, the ship set sail. As she stood on a sailboat cutting through the wind and watching the vast sea, Arsil, wearing a hood, approached her.

“How is your first voyage?”

“It is pleasing to the eye.”

When I was on Earth, I got tired of seeing the sea, but this was the first time I saw the sea here. While admiring the beautiful sea as if blue jewels were waving, Arsil spoke in a slightly higher voice with a snort.

“It’s only because we were active only within the continent. Do you know One of the fish here is not an egg, but a young… “

“Are you by any chance a very large fish that rises to the top of the sea, catches its breath, returns to the sea, and feeds its young?”

“… That’s right… “

Aren’t they completely whales?

“Then maybe… “

“Ah! By the way, what is the mission our captain has been given?”

“… Chet.”

“Yes?”

“No. The mission, no, the request that Captain Bachmun has received is to transport supplies.”

“What about the water?”

Arsil nodded her head and said Chuck, pointing to a corner of the wide sea.

“If you go a little further, there is another lawless harbor there. During the last voyage, the ship was destroyed in half, but it is a request to bring the supplies of the merchant ships that were repaired to the Wedge Tooth Port instead.”

“It’s a convenient request.”

“Of course. It’s not too far away and you only need to bring it to the top of the wedgetooth port, so it’s very simple – but it can be annoying at the same time.”

“Bothered?”

“Being half-destroyed means that there were times when they were aiming for supplies or ships. Even if they come all the way to the port, the upper ranks will be able to stop the pirates, but during the voyage, the only ones the upper ranks can trust are us.”

“Well, since it’s already half-destroyed, there must be some guys who are definitely targeting it.”

“Maybe they can already dock in the harbor and watch us load supplies and follow right after, or they can set sail and catch up and plunder right away… “

“Ah, but I’m on my first voyage, so can something so unlucky happen?”

“Is that so.”

“I am lucky more than I thought. Trust me.”

“Fuuu, then I will believe it. I can’t help but disbelieve you because you’re so confident.”

***

-Puuuuu!!!

Kwajik!

“Sir baaal! Turn left quickly!!!”

“It’s not possible!!! It stuck right away. We must fight, Captain!”

“These bastards, you prepared properly and waited!”

“… “

Pong, pung, the sailboats came crashing down with the sound of cannons exploding here and there. A pirate ship was harpooned and set on fire at Bakmun’s instructions, but a pirate ship a little bigger than our sailboat thumped and crashed.

“Cybaaal!!! Come over!!! Come over!”

“Prepare for battle!!!”

“Waaaaa!!!”

“… “

“Stop watching, I can take the lead.”

Damn lucky

In the end, seeing the pirates pulling out their swords from their waistbands and throwing ropes and boards to fight, Arsil laughed.

Ignoring my colleagues’ ridicule, I immediately ran to the pirates.
