45.Tongue Fishing Prize (3)
*According to the reader’s advice that 190km can be reached in 3 days even on a sailboat, we will increase the distance to 800km.
“I already ate them all. I’m sorry.”
“…Do you want to go back and catch the Kraken?”
“Look for snacks after returning to the shore.”
“No, but this is the first time I’ve had such a delicious side dish. Would octopus taste as good as this?”
“Perhaps.”
It’s been a week since I encountered the Kraken. We were proceeding smoothly towards shore.
Since leaving the foggy area, we haven’t encountered any particular troubles, and peaceful days with only calm waves walking with us. We spent a leisurely time eating our meals with Kraken Octopus, which was pickled in alcohol to remove the smell left by the Wilsons who had passed by.
“John. What are you planning to do when you go to the continent?”
“I don’t know yet.”
I don’t decide what I do. Sadly.
But it seems to give rewards, so it’s comforting in its own way… Can you say? It’s a reward, and it’s not like throwing away a single stat, right?
“If you don’t know, follow us. Because I can find a good spot. You should be able to work in a decent enough place.”
“That’s right. He cooks well, knows how to drive a boat, and…”
To be honest, it’s a bit embarrassing. I feel good though. Because that’s what it means to be recognized by others. I ate my entire meal and got up. I don’t have much time to rest as I’m the only one holding the wheel. But I can’t leave it to other kids for a while.
Karina can’t even turn her wheel well because she has no strength, and Lenny is good at turning it, but she broke her wheel while turning it, and it’s uneasy to entrust her wheel to Milia. It spins pretty well, but I used to get distracted and move to the wrong place.
In the end, it is said that holding the steering wheel is the most stable. Especially since I’m the only one who knows the exact direction.
I opened the status window while leaning on the wheel. Since the day the status window was restored to normal, the only thing that has changed is the distance of the mission column. The brutal status window remains unchanged today. I think I used a lot of skills, but my rank doesn’t go up. I also want to live an easy life with SSS-level skills. But what is A?
At least give me an s.
…Come to think of it, are the ranks attached to skills and attributes fixed?
Or am I following my skill level?
It was different from the survival academy system I remember, so I couldn’t figure it out. I still don’t know why they gave me this status window. Shouldn’t it just be given a survival academy style status window? Could it be that the true ending DLC patch completely overhauled the system?
The more I think about it, the more dizzy I get.
It’s just frustrating because I don’t feel like anything is working out properly.
I’ve been possessed for a while, but I can’t believe my life is this hardcore. Why can’t I eat my life raw? Like the main character in the web novel, I also want to have only one fraudulent skill or fraudulent item.
It’s not that crafting is a bad skill, but compared to the overwhelming amount of mana or hidden jobs, it’s a bit lacking.
“…That’s it. If you step on the ground, something will happen.”
What are you doing complaining like this?
Let’s think positively.
Still, being close to Karina was a big win, so let’s say living on a deserted island had its own meaning.
Since the start has become a bit easier, how to use this to reach the true ending is more important. Rather, recalling useful items or in-game knowledge is many times more constructive.
But what was there?
First of all, I remember that there were five or six heroines.
First of all, Karina is the core of the main story. Lana from the Faculty of Magic, and… Who else? One in the Faculty of Alchemy, one in the Faculty of Chivalry, one of the teachers, and… Who was it?
Anyway, the heroine was about that.
The other important person is sympathy with the principal… Uh, I think one of them was the dark side, but who was it?
No, before that, what happens to the main character?
I don’t think I’ll be the main character…
If I remember correctly, the main character had a special mark on his body.
So, I’m saying that the protagonist of Survival Academy will exist.
Is this the default character that appears when no settings are made? But isn’t that like choosing one from several presets?
And a man or a woman? I don’t even know the gender.
What was the default name?
My head is dizzy.
You’re facing an unexpected challenge. She tried to relax and think, but it felt like she had just woken up from a nightmare.
“…Do whatever you want.”
If you go and see it for yourself, you will remember it.
As soon as I saw Karina even after 10 years, I remembered her. Human memory is shocking, and she sometimes brings back memories of the very old.
—————-
“John! Look over there! The land is the land!”
I heard Karina’s lively voice in my ears as I was leaning on her steering wheel. Perhaps it was because she hadn’t set foot on land in a long time, Karina looked the most delighted she had ever seen. Well, she said, by the time the distance was about 100km left, she was clearly bored with everything, so it was only natural if it was natural.
All you can see is the blue water. How can you not feel bored in the sea where the world’s most f*cked-up seagulls are all there is to see? f*ck. sh*t fell on her deck again. Who was in charge of cleaning today? Was it Millia?
Almost as soon as I thought of Milia, Milia came out on top of her deck with her mop and wiped the deck of the poop.
No matter what you do, you do the work you entrusted with sincerity. I don’t think it’s because I’m enjoying it.
I fidgeted with my rough chin and gently turned the steering wheel. It seemed that something was slowly shrinking, so it seemed that the direction was slightly twisted while leaning against it.
“Once you dock at the port, you should first go to the exchange place.”
We should sell the mementos left to us by the Wilsons who unfortunately died at sea.
From expensive jeweled trinkets to pretty decent looking antiques. Since he had collected all the things that could be exchanged for cash, he should at least be able to cover the travel expenses needed to get to the academy. Oh, should I carry it as it is for a little bit? I think I can use it for my skill if I do some research.
“Captain! I can see the harbor over there!”
“I know. Millia.”
Would you like me to clean up that disgusting mop? You just wiped seagull poop with it.
“Captain! What will the captain do when he goes to port?”
“…First of all, we should dock the boat and go change jewelry first.”
After all, the most important thing in society is money. Without money, I can’t eat, I have no place to sleep, and I can’t even buy clothes, so exchange money comes first. So let’s roll up the sails a little bit. The speed is too fast right now, so if we keep going like this, we won’t be docking at the port, but we’ll be charged like a suicide squad.
“Milia, go tell Lenny to retract the sails. We will arrive at the port soon.”
“Okay!”
Millia ran to Lenny, who was clinging to the railing in the distance with clattering footsteps.
I looked at the harbor with my eyes wide open as the sails were retracted. The harbor, bathed in bright sunlight, was as colorful as its size. Wouldn’t it be about half of Busan?
Isn’t that true? To be honest, I’ve never lived in Busan, and I’ve only been there once when I was young, so it seemed a bit inappropriate to compare the size. Still, it’s the only port city I know of, so there’s no place for comparison. Anyway, I watched the boats passing near our boat, feeling my heart pounding for the first time in a long time.
Fishing boats passing by with nets, merchant ships boasting fancy appearances, and even ships with cannons hanging from their sides like ships in movies. Looking at the people on top of it, I could feel that I was finally in a space full of people.
As many people as rabbits.
Well, this is where people live.
It’s not like an uninhabited island where the only human being was me.
“John! Wake! Put some clothes on!”
“Okay.”
I obeyed Lenny’s words and put on the top. I know at least that in a civilized society, you shouldn’t walk around naked. I wore the shirt that Karina had picked out for me and looked the most comfortable. Ugh, the smell. There was no way to do proper laundry on board, so no matter how good the clothes were, they couldn’t help but smell.
If I get some money, I’ll buy clothes first. If possible, a sturdy one.
Let’s buy clothes, find an inn, and have a meal. A meal rich in spices. And then again…
“Captain?”
“Ah, Millia.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Captain, the atmosphere is strange.”
“First of all, set your head properly and speak.”
Milia’s head, which had been deviated by about 30 degrees, returned to normal only then.
“So, what’s wrong?”
“So, there are people with scary weapons gathered in the port?”
“What?”
I ran straight to the bow and looked out over the harbor.
Soldiers?
Why?
Are you looking at us?
…Ah.
“Stop! Ships that are not registered are prohibited from entering ports according to Imperial law!”
From among the soldiers, a man dressed as ‘I am the Most High’ shouted at us. Vigilance flowed out of the eyes that could be seen between the helmets.
…It must have been misunderstood because of the boat crash.
