88 – The beach where the Milky Way flows (8)
“What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?”
Ael was dripping with sweat and buzzing her arms like a bee.
“What should I do? What should I do? I have a lot of things to do, including getting ready, washing up, putting on makeup, and spraying perfume.”
“Ah, well, that’s right. That’s how it should be. But if I wash it off beforehand, I don’t think I’ll end up sweating and making a mess again, right?”
“Then, I’ll wash it later when my master gets off work.”
“I should do that!”
Ael was frantically running around the house, making all kinds of fuss.
“Ah, so loud! What the hell?!”
Cantavera shouted, unable to bear it any longer.
“I think the master is going to propose to Ael tonight. So Ael is very excited.”
“Marriage proposal? What is that?”
“The male asks the female for permission to become a mate.”
“People are really troublesome. If we agree with each other, we can just hit it off right away. Why is the process so complicated?”
Cantavera grunted and began to sing a strange song on the spot.
Crazy lyrics about a horny Einer trying to seduce a stupid, imbecile demon slave who has no idea about the world in order to get a free bite.
Lamia went to her kitchen without a trace and cut her lemon in half.
Cantavera saw this and immediately closed her mouth.
“Ha, it’s a big deal. It’s a big deal…”
Ael stumbled and mumbled like a crazy person.
My master and I have already seen everything.
When she looks back after her visit to Vera Bce, it is safe to say that she made love more intensely than other newlyweds.
But that is that and this is this.
A marriage proposal?
I tried to do it to the owner first, but the owner hit the player first!
If you saved me wasn’t enough, now if you even propose to me, what should I do?
It’s already a burden to come in and live alone in the owner’s house without any possessions!
Is it really okay for me to just let go and be swept away like a lazy fish without doing anything?!
“Ael. If the master proposes today, Ael will also propose.”
“Eh? Wife, you want me to ask you to marry me?”
“That’s right. We’ve already prepared with a lot of thought for several days. It doesn’t matter who goes first. What’s important is that the meaning is conveyed.”
At Lamia’s words, Ael slapped her cheek with both of her hands.
“That’s right…! I should do that! Then, I’ll go memorize the message!”
Ael ran up to her room in a hurry.
Ael’s booming voice was soon heard all the way to the first floor.
I was trying to memorize something, but the content was so tickling that Cantavera muttered his dissatisfaction again.
Anyway, Lamia cleaned the first floor and cleaned her outdoor table, and she was busy walking around all morning.
* * * * *
Aner’s work time is approaching.
“I’m going crazy, really…”
Next to Ael, who was trembling and holding on to her kitchen counter, Lamia was calmly packing a large bag.
“Here.”
Lamia tied the opening of her bag well and draped it over Ael’s shoulder.
“Have a nice trip. It’s okay to make mistakes, so I’ll say everything I have to say.”
“Okay…”
With his bag on his back, Ael took a deep breath and left the house.
“I’ll be back, Cantavera. You should listen carefully to what Lamia says, right?”
“At least it’s stuck in a flower pot and can’t go anywhere.”
Ael left the house, leaving the sarcastic Cantavera behind.
The sun completely set over the western horizon, and the sky behind Ael turned navy blue.
It seems as if the stars are showing their faces and following Ael as he heads towards Pier 8 in the west.
As it got closer to Pier 8, where Einer was waiting, the sky in front gradually darkened, making Ael think that he was moving and coloring the world black.
As soon as I reached Pier 8, I saw Einer standing in front of me.
“Ael.”
“Master….”
“What’s in the bag?”
“Oh?! This? It’s nothing…”
As I was in a hurry, Einer smiled and went down the stairs below the pier.
There was a small boat floating at the end of the stairs leading to the water.
“Come here, Ael.”
“Are you riding that? Where are you going?”
“I’ll know when I get on. Quickly.”
Einer on the boat held out his hand.
Ael came down the stairs, held Einer’s hand, and went across to the boat.
“Come on, let’s go.”
As Einer rowed, the boat slowly turned and turned its head toward the open sea of the port.
Ael is facing forward from the back of the boat, and Einer, holding the oar, is looking backwards from around the middle.
So, they were facing each other.
“Have you ever been on a boat?”
“No, it’s my first time. Wow, the sea is so close.”
When Ael stretched out his hand and placed his fingers on the surface of the water, long ripples erupted behind him.
“But where are you really going?”
“It’s a good place. I really wanted to go there, but I couldn’t go because I didn’t have anyone to go with.”
Where is that?
But no matter how much I thought about it, no place in particular came to mind.
If it were land, it might be different. If we continue like this, it will be a vast ocean.
Where is the real master going? I don’t know.
The boat gradually left the port and entered the lonely sea.
The lights of the port lined up in the distance glowed beautifully, each with different colors.
As the sun completely set, numerous stars began to shine brightly in the night sky.
The stars scattered in the night sky embellish the sky with brilliant light and pass by the sea as a pure white Milky Way.
The light of the Milky Way falling on the surface of the dark, sparkling sea in the distance is like a twinkling starlight tapestry.
The starlight tapestry was like a mysterious bridge connecting the sky and the sea.
The dazzling path of the Milky Way stretched across the sea and sparkled as if welcoming Ael and Einer.
The distant Milky Way curved gracefully, creating the illusion that the world revolved around Ael and Einor.
The sight of starlight spreading out over the sea like a spectrum was a beauty that cannot be explained in words.
The brighter starlight caressed their skin along with the salt that subtly rose above the surface of the water.
A trace began from the tip of Ael’s finger floating on the sea, and small waves followed the boat, slightly shaking the shining starlight on the water.
Stars shined above the dimly twinkling sea, and the light spread over the sea as if the stars had doubled in size.
Between the sky and the sea.
Ael and Einor created their own world in the center of the place that cannot be contained and where it is impossible to tell which place is more beautiful.
“Ah! That!”
Ael shouted as he saw something behind Einor’s back.
A small uninhabited island floating on the sea.
When I sat by the window after business was over, the uninhabited island flickered blue.
It was an uninhabited island where insects so small that they could not be seen glowed.
Under the starlight, the island looked like a small jewel floating on the water.
Even in the darkness, the island’s silhouette was clear and it floated calmly on the gently undulating sea.
The blue light swaying with the waves looked like a star had fallen into the sea and was floating in fragments.
Ael held his breath and looked at the amazing scenery.
All of these things that unfolded before her eyes were more beautiful and enchanting than anything she had dreamed of.
The master was taking me there….
The bottom of the boat touched the soft sandy beach of an uninhabited island.
“Haa… Oh my…”
The uninhabited island looked like a place where light was born at the end of the world.
The waves changed at every moment, reflecting everything around them.
Starlight, moonlight, and the light of an uninhabited island shine on the sea, creating a unique color.
But the most beautiful and striking thing was the shining blue waves rising from the sea.
Every time the waves rolled, it shone like a burning star inside.
The movement of the boat awakened the glow-in-the-dark insects and gave off beautiful light, and the brilliance rose through the sea into the night sky.
Every time a wave hits the sand, the light bounces like champagne and colors the sandy beach with light.
It was a fantastic scene where the sea and sky, stars and moonlight all danced together.
Ael felt as if the sky and the sea had become one as it merged with the starlight.
This small island floating under a night sky full of stars was a dream in itself.
All the beauty of the world and the miracles of nature seemed to be gathered here.
“Shall we get off?”
Aner got off the boat first and held out her hand.
Ael held her master’s hand and stepped onto the island’s sandy beach.
The sandy beach illuminated by moonlight looked like a silver-white carpet.
The edge of the sandy beach with gentle waves turned into silver waves under the moonlight, soaking Ael’s feet.
The sand of this island, untouched and untouched by anyone’s footprints, flowed under my feet as softly as sugar.
Every time Ael stepped on the sand, she was pressed gently against the soles of her shoes, and her grains of sand scattered silently.
There were only the footprints of two people, Einer and Ael.
“Shall we take a walk first?”
“Yes, master…”
Ael and Einor walked side by side on the sandy beach with waves rolling in.
Every time Ael took a step, the sea responded and a blue wave quietly rose.
The shining waves were like the most beautiful piano performance in the world.
With each step Ael took, the waves spread out gracefully in time with her steps, as if she were pressing the keys on her piano.
The blue shining waves seemed to remember Ael’s steps and follow Ael’s every movement.
When Ael stopped, the waves also stopped for a moment.
When Ael walked again, the waves followed Ael’s footsteps again.
Ael’s every step was followed by a blue wave.
The shining wave gave off a new light as it followed Ael’s footsteps.
“It’s so beautiful… I don’t even know what to say…”
Ael smiled through tears.
But the master who was supposed to be next to me was nowhere to be seen.

Where has the master gone… ?
“Ael.”
When I looked back, Einer had stopped and was standing looking at Ael.
“Ael.”
“Gasp…!!”
Ael realized that Einer was planning to propose and took a deep breath.
Ael’s head began to spin.
What did Lamia say?!
Did the owner tell you to hit the player first before proposing?!
Well, it was like that, right?! Are you sure?!
“Ael, I…”
“Well, well, well!! Please marry me!!”
Ael shouted and took out a two-span long sword in a leather sheath from his bag.
