237 – Journey up again (4)
Senna took the boat, but it took time for the boat to prepare and depart, so she had to stay in the port town for about ten days.
She visited the port town, rode a small boat around the surrounding sea, enjoyed the scenery, and tried fishing on the boat.
At night, when we were drinking and talking at a bar, we got into a fight because of the beautiful women named Monia and Senna. , Learned shield art from Senna, and practiced swimming with Monia and Rex in case they fell into the sea.
Rex wondered if his heavy body could not float and sink, but to his surprise, when he got into the water, his hair held air, increasing his buoyancy and helping him swim.
In addition, Rex had long arms and good strength, so he could easily learn to swim and swim proficiently with simple instruction.
After practicing little by little from the floating island, Monia, who stopped her swimming practice while crossing the sea, desert, and Jaim Kingdom, and started again.
“As expected, our Rex is a genius!”
What was unexpected was that Senna was afraid of water. If she were a traveler, she would have to be familiar with water because she often moves along rivers so that she can safely get drinking water and food.
“I had a lot of experiences where I almost died while training to swim wearing armor, so I became more and more scared.”
Senna’s water phobia was due to her experience after becoming her knight. She is told by her fellow knights that if she is a knight, she should at least swim wearing armor, and while practicing with them, she falls into the water and she says that she goes over ten times.
“Rather, I almost died because I fell in love 10 times.
“Really? By the way, Chester, do you swim well in leather armor? There are also tools piled up there.”
“Since I was little, my father trained me to swim in all kinds of situations. I’ve never worn armor before….”
For Senna, Chester taught her how to make floating tools.
“If you have pants made of a material that does not absorb water, tie both ends tightly like this, and then like this! If you swing it hard once, the air gets inside and it inflates.”
“Ohhh.”
“It’s good to use when you fall into a place where the current is fast enough to make it difficult to swim.”
Chester knows so many skills that Senna has been traveling for a long time, surprising him.
And Sena, who had been staying at the hostel for a week and realized how hot Chester and Monia were spending the night, because unlike in the well-soundproofed mansion, she could clearly hear the noise from the room next to her, and for a while there was something awkward with the two of them.
Fortunately, after a few days, Senna got used to it and rather admired Chester’s stamina. If she played sloppily in Changgwan, her fellow knights, they would all die the next day. Where did that endless stamina come from, even though she teased her waist like that every night?
Strength may be inferior to Urgo or Senna, who received the power of Hope, but Chester’s strength as a hero was his stamina.

During the war, a certain hero ran and ran nonstop over a distance that made no sense in common sense, delivering news of the battlefield to the country, turning the tide of war and bringing victory to the country. Strong physical strength was also a hero’s strength and quality.
While promoting together, everyone also spent time separately.
Rex passed the time by making fun of people who somehow tried to seduce or steal him away.
In the case of Chester, he took Rex around and showed him around, while studying fish that can be eaten in the sea, fish that should not be eaten, and various situations and diseases to be careful of in the sea, as well as solutions to them.
Monia uses her beauty and voice to buy art products that are reasonably priced from the merchants who sell her art, then she uses her aesthetic sense, beauty, and voice to sell them to other merchants or people. I made money by selling it for a high price.
Since she was originally Monia, who had a reputation for aesthetic sense, she could easily make money by repeatedly buying and selling artworks in moderation.
Of course, after a few days, rumors about her Monia spread and the merchants selling her art disappeared, but by then they had already made enough money.
Once the calling of money was over, it was time to change it.
Matoto Continent, especially the money used only in Jaim Kingdom, could not be taken to Senna’s home continent and used.
Fortunately, there is a money changer at the port, so Monia could exchange the money she earned into money spent on the continent of Sena.
She tried to cheat at first, but the next day she couldn’t bear to cheat Monia, who visited again with Chester and Rex on her back.
If I cheated on her, I felt like I would be choked by Chester’s machete or squeezed all over in Rex’s grip.
After a fruitful week, the Chester family boarded the ship an hour before it departed and inspected their rooms.
“Hmm. Other than being too wide, it’s pretty good. But was there only one room?”
“Yes. They said they could only give you one.”
“Yes. I can’t help it.”
She had horses in her wagon, and she had to put a lot of luggage on it, so it cost her quite a bit to get a boat.
There are not many ships that carry wagons. Of course, it had to be a high-end ship made for nobles who mainly used wagons, and it cost that much money.
It was possible to load a wagon on a non-luxury ship by paying a premium, but in that case, the wagon and horses would not be properly maintained, so it was obvious that it would be worse than not riding the ship.
Of course, these boats conduct thorough identification checks. It’s only natural that you can’t take a thug on a boat carrying nobles.
In this case, Monia was wearing her dress and Chester was wearing her housekeeper’s uniform, and they were able to meet the ship’s captain and pass the identification check.
Even when they boarded the ship, Monia was dressed up in a dress, Chester was in a butler’s uniform, and Sena was properly dressed in armor, dressing up as a noble lady, her butler, and a knight.
Actually, the words were makeup, but considering their status, it couldn’t be said to be makeup.
Actually, they were noble ladies, butlers, and knights.
Despite being a noble lady, the poor carriage was packaged up as a setting in which the mischievous young lady went on a trip without telling her family.
“You only have one bed?”
Monia said, bouncing her body over her hips on her only bed, and Sena said it was natural as she packed her things.
“That’s because it’s a room reserved for one of the nobles, Monia.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Butlers and drivers are supposed to sleep in separate places.”
“Let’s just sleep here together. If I tell you, won’t you prepare a bed in moderation?”
Fortunately, the room was spacious. It is natural that it is a place for nobles.
Monia called the sailor and asked for a room for Chester and Senna, as well as a place for Rex to sleep.
“Yes? Even the butler and the pet?”
When Monia called, she rushed over. The sailor looked at Chester and Rex, bewildered by the unexpected request.
I could understand Senna, the female knight, but I couldn’t understand Chester, the man, or Rex, the beast.
“Is that strange?”
Seeing the sailor’s reaction, Monia said with a cold expression when she was a young girl.
“I told you once, do I have to say it again?”
“Oh no!”
She gave up on thinking about the sailor, knowing full well that her life could be ruined if she was wrongly caught by a prickly aristocrat, and she did what Monia told her to do.
Seeing that, Sena admired Monia after her crew left.
“You do a good job acting as an aristocrat without being mean.”
“Because it’s not acting.”
Chester, laughing at Sena’s admiration, tapped Monia on the shoulder and said, Monia made her face turn red and slapped her on Chester’s back.
“Chester!”
Chester laughs and teases Monia, and Monia reacts with embarrassment.
Seeing that, Senna realized that Monia had a very bad personality in her old days.
“I’m going to check out the ship.”
After Chester said that and ran away, Monia grumbled in embarrassment.
“Oh, Chester really. That is unfair.”
“Whoops. What do you think? Is it nice to see?”
“… ….”
Monia looked at Sena and said.
“I was a nobleman.”
“Yes.”
“That’s a very powerful aristocrat.”
“I thought so.”
“Chester was my butler.”
Monia little by little told her own past.
Sena laughed and listened to her story about Monia’s past.
While Monia and Senna were talking, the time had come and the ship, loaded with all the cargo, slowly began to leave the port.
Riding the rolling waves and receiving the touch of the blowing wind, the boat carrying them carried them to a faraway continent beyond the still invisible sea.
