Ashes and Kingdoms

3-4. The Way to Break Up

The port of Siros, even if not as busy as usual, was busy by boat. Simply travelling to and from the coast of the country makes it possible to buy and sell a variety of supplies, and fishing boats serving fish caught along the coast to the citizens' table seem as economical as ever. There is a unique smell from the warehouse that soaks fish soy sauce.

The moored merchant ships are unloading goods and replenishing food and water to the next port. The same was true of the Tenryu Squad ships. We load our own loads to keep spending down. Nellis and Fauna, and the missing Oandus of his right finger, were no exception, and he came and went busily to carry what each of them could carry.

Taz, who was supposed to demonstrate his abilities for such work, had been grabbed by Senato at the docks.

"Don't look like that. You have no choice, do you? What do you want me to do?"

"I don't know what to do at work. Do you hate being in a position that bad?

"Otherwise! Oh already..."

Taz looked up to heaven, and did the trick of maneuvering, and then bowed his hips good enough to match the boy's gaze.

"You know, I'm a sailor, and I'd be useful there if I were on the ocean, but sticking around after you just gets in the way. I'm not very knowledgeable, and I don't have any special powers. I'm glad you trusted me, but that's not for you."

"I haven't fallen far enough to rely on Taz."

Senato slaps his hatred. Taz laughed bitterly and deliberately messed his head up rampantly. If I be nice, it will be hard to break up.

"Businessmanship. But, you know, it's easier for you to believe what you hear from me or Nella than someone else. If they say I'm calling, you'll wonder if something happened. That's not good. Because I'm not smart, if a congressman or a great man puts up this trap, it's easy for me to get stuck. I might do something to your disadvantage without realizing it. In other words."

To the tone of persuasion, the giving up seeps. Taz smiled bitterly and took his hand off Senato's head.

"The world you live in is different. - That's what happened."

…………

Senato was biting his lips all the time and staring remorsefully at his nail tips. You can ask for it, threaten it, and force it. But as a result, if anything happens to Taz as he feared, he will fall. If you want to gather close together, you have to seek competent people who are not just honest, who can help.

If you're an old man, even someone like Taz will be able to use it without favoring his enemies, but Hate Senato is only a child yet. Besides, even if I had the ability, I didn't want to do it. Manipulating people, imitating themselves the same as my grandfather.

After a long silence, Senato finally said.

"So... Taz, what do you do? Do you have a job?"

"Don't worry about that. Even if you look like one, you're quite capable of being a sailor. It's a lot of deductions."

"Even though you stick your shield against the captain and take a small boat and jump out?

To Senato, who smiled bitterly, Taz slipped away and clasped his neck.

"No, well, that's special, only then. Anyway, so far, I've decided to send Mr. Oandus and the others to Comrith. I have to make a big mess, I can hire you on this ship as it is. So sometimes they come back from Comrith. I'll show my face to you too."

"You're looking for Nella."

"Naturally," Taz laughed unwieldily. "Who smells like a piss kid or something...... Awww!!

I get my other tibia kicked out of my mind, and I jump with an odd voice.

Nellis shook his head in disdain as he looked away at Senato running away and Taz chasing him.

"He's the next emperor, but Taz is as true as ever."

"That's why Phineas and I are friends,"

Oandus nods to Eagle Deep on the side. Nellis looked up a little and looked at the sky on the other side, and right, he snapped. On its side, Mac whispers softly.

"Can you see anything?"

Nellis shook her head and sighed. Everyone is the same for anxiety. At the very least, I wish some bond-like force worked and just knew if it was cheap or not.

"I hear a lot about bug news and the sudden cracking of the belongings of people who aren't there... I wish there was a more certain way. I wonder if there was such magic back in the day."

In response to her words like half solitary, Mac thought for a moment before responding.

"I think there would have been. But I don't know. If you know something's happened to someone far away, but you can't fly there, it might make you feel hard and crazy over here. Even if you know you're safe, you might still be able to make sure that tonight, tomorrow, and many times."

"You mean it's better to just have hope, that you'll be okay, knowing nothing?

"Some people do. You know, Nellis, I know how you feel, but you're too attentive."

"Nothing, I'm not worried," Nellis swelled a lot. "When Lena and I think we're flying the sky as we please, we're just sexually angry about something. So I fell from the clouds and got annoyed."

"Right."

Mac laughed and nodded, even to his impossible strengths. Then I look around, and I just keep stubborn.

"If anything happens to my brother, we won't be able to name ourselves Tenryu Squad either, and we're going to go somewhere around Mr. Valt on our own in the first place. I need you to think about it."

"Yes, yes. It's not just a powder shop anymore. I lived with the Sardas in the mountains, and talked to the General and His Majesty the Emperor... now you've been sailing with the next Emperor, haven't you? I don't think it's about me."

Nellis grinned unexpectedly. Mac laughs with him and slaps Pong and Nellis on the shoulder.

"It's a goodbye to that world, too. Come on, let's finish loading. I'll carry that box. Nellis, get your jacket."

"Oh, yeah. Right. Good."

Holding a bag containing a few newly researched jackets, Nellis stepped forward and looked at the ocean. There are a number of island shadows in close proximity. There are numerous small islands off the coast around here, some with a whole island as a villa from something people can't live on. One of them belongs to the Emperor.

"Master Senato, you're going over there."

"Yeah. You said you wanted to find out about Dragon Hou and the sorcerer because there are so many old books"

"... I'd like to go sometime, too"

Deep concern and anxiety seeped into the pompous and crushed words. Mac also changes his expression and agrees with "Me too" small.

"I read a lot with my brother at the Temple of Comris, but I don't mean... I don't know, I want to know the truth"

I don't say that inheritance and stories are all lies. The two of them saw with their eyes that a dragon named Lena now existed and that the vow of bond exerts its power. But I want to know what it was then, not the inheritance conveniently omitted or bent in interpretation by the later Dragon Hou family and the descendants of the Emperor.

The vague anxiety that comes to your chest makes you both feel that way.

(How long will I, about your brother, be able to watch normally)

Nellis looked at the sea like it was dazzling, and deceived him into an unreliable look.

There have been too many changes since I left the windmill shed until this time today. They say it's only been a year.

(I wonder how long we'll be in your brother's family)

Nellis chewed his back teeth off all the time, shaking his head small, but hard, he ran down the pier to escape anxiety.
