Hi! I actually made it! Chapter 26! \ (○ □ ○) /
I intend to post the character info part 3 but there were some sudden assigment and quiz due tomorrow which is why I can't post them yet... (TT_TT) so I might post them tomorrow after school...
So here is chapter 26! Please enjoy! (^_^)/
=======================================
"Gerum shell!"(Parika)
"So many!"(Perika)
The twins get out from the ship the moment they see the land. [Kokoam City] is a free city. It is free from any kingdom and stands as dependable city specialized in trade and their sea product. Mostly populated with seakin such as mermaid and...um... actually, I can't tell the sea-kin apart from their tribe because once they get out from the sea, they'll transform into human like figure just like the fairy tale story, only their ears stay as sea-kin and after that, I couldn't tell them apart...but they are many sea creatures! Really! While I'm in my own though, a little girl stumble as she walk out the ship and Kena smoothly caught her.
"Are you alright?"(Kena)
She is giving her 'gentle' smile.
"Ah, u-um...yes...thank you"(Girl)
The girl looks at Kena with red cheeks. Wake up girl! This woman is targeting you! You should run!
While I'm praying for that little girl, Mark walk out of the ship with tired face while holding many books in his hands.
"*sigh*...."(Mark)
It's actually rare to see Mark like this. I thought he would hype up like the twins...
Just when I'm about to call him, he looks toward me.
"Crev..."(Mark)
"Y-yes?"(Crev)
".....*sigh*.."(Mark)
What? Why are you sighing over and over again!?
"...you're my brother right?"(Mark)
Mark's sudden question surprised me. Althought Mark sometimes put me in silly and dangerous situations, he is actually a nice guy. When the twins fell asleep, he would put a blanket over them or when some thugs try to hit on Kena and Lila, he would try to drive them away before Kena beats them. He is like a big brother in a sense. I used to be a big brother too, so I felt similarity in that part and we both like to cook.
"Yes"(Crev)
I answer him with a smile
"....then, please help me"(Mark)
"Huh?"(Crev)
Just before I ask him futher, a very exaggerate and remarkably embarrassing horse-drawn carriage run toward the harbor with great speed, it's just so embarrassing to the point where everyone who saw it gives a distorted face.
Uwaaaa...so lame...just what kind of person rides that thing?
The shape just like a pink sea urchin, covered with shiny crystal and there is a green dragon on top. A thin oldman with moustache, wearing a butler like clothes is driving the carriage and starting to wave his hand toward us happily.
"Sir Mark! I've come for you!"(moustache oldman)
"Geh!?"(Crev)
Not only me, Kena, Lila and the twins were shocked. Only Mark who put his both hands to cover his face
"...*sigh*"(Mark)
The carriage make a sharp turn and stop right in front of us and the thin oldman eagerly took Mark's hands
"Sir Mark! Ooh how much I miss you!"(moustache oldman)
"Ugh...please pipe down Geru. You're attracting people's attention"(Mark)
"Hou! Sir Mark, it is because you didn't get back for this past five years! All of us were really worried!"(Geru)
"I sent you guys letters didn't I?"(Mark)
"Your letters are too short sir Mark! You only write 'I'm fine' or 'emergency, need new fund as soon as possible please send it to this address'... "(Geru)
Wait, doesn't the second one sounds like a scam?!
"And the rest of the letters mostly contained new recipes or asking master's well being! Althought I send you over 315 letters...but you never once told us how you were doing!"(Geru)
"...I'm sorry..."(Mark)
"But I'm really happy since you came back here!"(Geru)
The oldman Geru hug Mark tightly
"...*sigh* I was threaten to...If not, my spices supply will be cut down...by lady..."(Mark)
Shena, you should stop threatening people...
"Even the young master is really happy you came! Right young master?"(Geru)
When Geru open up the carriage, it's empty
"Eh? Young master?"(Geru)
"Could it be you left him behind?"(Mark)
"No, no, I made sure to tie him up and put him into the carriage"(Geru)
Isn't he your master!?
"I even dressed him up with my latest design, a bright pink coat matching the carriage just for your arrival"(Geru)
Bright p-pink? as a coat? that it sounds too much for a man's coat, especially in this era...now I know who made the carriage...
"Hm?"(Crev)
Just then, I notice a shiny, bright pink coat, floating in the sea, near by the dock
"...i-is that him?"(Crev)
"MASTERR!"(Geru)
"Johan!"(Mark)
The oldman Geru and Mark frantically jump to the sea and save the guy in pink coat...
Could it be that the master was thrown out from the carriage when it made the sharp turn?...wasn't that already a while ago? I-is that guy still breathing?
"Cough*...."(Johan)
The boy in pink coat cough out lot of water from his mouth. He is a pretty boy around his teen with blue light hair and long eye lashes. His blue eyes and white skin really make him look like a doll. In short, he is a handsome guy, no, he is more like a cute boy!
"I'm very sorry young master! I should have tied you to the carriage instead"(Geru)
That is not the problem here! And why are you tying your own master in the first place?!
"..Mark.."(Johan)
"J-johan!"(Mark)
"W-welcome..ba-"(Johan)
"N-no Johan! Please don't!"(Mark)
"....."(Johan)
I-is he dead?!
"DON'T YOU SLEEP HERE! WAKE UP DAMN IT!"(Mark)
"..zzzz"(Johan)
Mark angrily slaps the sleeping boy, luckily the Geru oldman manages to seperate the sleeping guy from Mark.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
"...I'm sorry"(Johan)
"...*sigh* you didn't change one bit, especially this bad habit of yours"(Mark)
"...bad habit?"(Johan)
"You sleep every where! And everytime! You always do everything sluggishly!"(Mark)
"......."(Johan)
"You should fix-"(Mark)
"Zzzzz...."(Johan)
"JOHAANN!"(Mark)
"Ah?!..."(Johan)
"Don't fall asleep!"(Mark)
"...people will die if they don't sleep you know"(Johan)
"You sleep all the time!"(Mark)
"....yeah"(Johan)
The boy named Johan just watches Mark as he is lecturing him with sleepy eyes
"...zzz"(Johan)
No, actually he just sleeps while standing with eyes wide open!?
"Johaaan!"(Mark)
"What a touching reunion...*sob*"(Geru)
Oldman Geru wipes his tears with handkerchief
Are you blind oldman?! You are, aren't you?! Which part is the touching reunion?!
Even after Mark was lecturing him over and over again, the boy still boldly fell asleep in front of him. I, somehow managed to stop Mark from once again slapping the boy's cheek.
"Enough! You wouldn't listen even after I lectured you so many times"(Mark)
"Thank you.."(Johan)
"I'm not praising you!"(Mark)
Mark was about to give him another lecture when the boy suddenly turns toward us
"....so...are they your companions?"(Johan)
"*sigh*...yes they are"(Mark)
"I'm [Rune Crevalance]. You can call me Crev"(Crev)
"U-um...I'm [Lila Mandrei]. Please call me Lila"(Lila)
One by one we start to introduced ourselves and fortunately, Johan didn't fall asleep in the process. Well, almost, but Mark made sure he stayed awake till we finished the introduction
"...*yawn*...um... My name is [Johan Ametra Giltia], I'm the leader of [Kokoam City]"(Johan)
When he introduced himself, except the oldman Geru and Mark, we all have disbelief faces.
"My name is [Geruroa Flausta], the head butler of Giltia household. It's an honor to meet you. Please call me Geru"(Geru)
The oldman introduced himself after his master.
"He might not look like it, but he can govern this city pretty well"(Mark)
"Ehh..."(Kena)
Kena accidently leak a surprised voice...
"...I just want to sleep...they won't let me sleep if I don't finish all the paper thingy..."(Johan)
"...you mean the city's document and report...you really are helpless...even back then you choose sleeping over fighting back..*sigh*"(Mark)
"Yeah...because I know I would be safe if I'm with you and you did save me back then"(Johan)
"*sigh*...if human start to eat each other then they no longer a human..."(Mark)
Huh?
"That is why you desperately saved me by throwing boiled water to those bandits"(Johan)
Eh?
"Well, I really didn't care much back then. But I was so pissed by how you slept despite what they were about to do! And beside, once they had finished eating you, wouldn't I be the next target? Then it would be better if I kill them first or maybe immobilized them..."(Mark)
Wait, so Johan is Mark's friend from his previous story?! So he's alive?! That means...
"Mark isn't a cannibal?!"(Crev)
"Huh?"(Mark)
"What is a can-ill-ball? A sickness?"(Perika)
"No, no, he said ca-na-ba'al right?"(Parika)
"Eh, no, cannibal mean someone who eats its own race"(Crev)
"What?! Why would you think I'm a cannibal?!"(Mark)
"Because you never finished the story"(Kena)
"Yeah! You stopped in the middle!"(Perika)
"We were to afraid to ask!"(Parika)
"Wha-?!"(Mark)
"Mark...you eat human?..zzz"(Johan)
The guy over there! Don't fall asleep in the middle conversation!
"I did not and will not eat any human!"(Mark)
"Then what about Crev and Kena? They aren't human, they are beastman"(Perika)
"What? No! I will not eat any beastmen!"(Mark)
"What about us? We are dwarves"(Parika)
"No! For the last time, I will not eat human and any other races! I'm not a man eating monster you know!"(Mark)
"Hohoho! Such a cheerful companion"(Geru)
This oldman definitly blind...
After our silly conversation, all of us get into the embarrassing pink carriage. Some of us insist to walk instead including Mark but the oldman Geru kept crying and plan to drive the carriage right behind us if we walk...so we were forced to used the carriage...
"Uwaaa so embarrassing!"(Parika)
"Un, amazingly embarrassing!"(Perika)
Althought this carriage is truly weird, just like other carriage, there are two windows and one door. People on the street kept looking toward us the whole time...it really embarrassing...
The twins kept holding their laugh as we ride the carriage. Lila didn't say anything but I could see her face deep red out of embarrassment while me, Mark and Kena kept hiding our faces the whole time.
"Hohoho, my creation is amazing indeed!"(Geru)
He just ignored the 'embarrassing' part?!
"The roof actually can be opened! See!"(Geru)
The oldman pull out a lever beside him and the carriage's roof start to opened by itself
"No! No! No! Close it back!"(Kena)
"Ughu...*sob*..."(Lila)
"Ahahahaha!"(Perika)
"Hahahaha!"(Parika)
"*sigh*...."(Mark)
"...Zzz"(Johan)
This is chaotic...
"Lets make a weapon similiar to this carriage later!"(Perika)
"Un! I will make the armor!"(Parika)
"Please don't!"(Kena)
"...*sigh*..."(Crev)
I hope we reach our destination faster and freed from this public humiliation....
