"Wow. Water, beautiful"
With an unexpected voice, Taketo stepped out of the fence at the pier.
Looking at the surface of the cobalt blue, the water was infinitely clear and I could see it well to the bottom. Despite being in a large Philippine harbour, a flock of tiny fish hangs loosely beneath the pier.
"Tacket, you're going to fall.
Chante also stepped out of the fence next to him and peered into the sea like a tacket.
Both faces were reflected on the surface of the water, but when the big fish bounced, the surface was disturbed and disappeared.
"Because the water is so beautiful!? Just watching it makes you feel better, doesn't it?
Taketo turned to Karon and Brigitta, who walked past the pier, asking for their consent, but they came back from, "What are you talking about? Just a cold gaze."
"Some people are surprised or rarely scared by the size of the ocean for the first time. I've never seen anyone happy looking under the pier. I don't think it's very unusual for the water to be clear on a sunny day and to see well to the bottom."
Taketo returns to Kalon with his unusual eyes.
"Anyway, I've changed."
Chante smiled and gazed at such a tacket.
Chante smiles, and Taketo immediately recovers.
But I also felt a little lonely in my heart. You won't be able to empathize with Karon and the others. The distance that Taketo once lived from his parents' house by train was not equal to the transparency of the sea. This is simply because of geology, but also because it was dirty with domestic and industrial drainage. Sometimes when you look at a clear pond or sea, it's kind of exciting.
When I was a college student, I was always tense when I walked around other countries as a backpacker with all the money I had accumulated from part-time work at a pet shop.
I want the people of this world to protect the nature as it is. I secretly wish for such a thing. It's easy to break. But after it's gone, it's very difficult to get it back, and it takes a lot of effort.
I wanted to see it all the time, but I came to this port on an urgent mission, so I can't keep looking at it blurry.
Taketo and Chante also boarded the ship after Caron and the others who had gone earlier.
The tukets ride a large sailboat called the Galeon Ship. Royal palace-owned ships that cross the open ocean and are also used to dispatch dignitaries to countries across the ocean. The cannons are well equipped, so they may be used militarily. A large royal emblem is drawn next to the ship, claiming that it belongs to the royal palace.
In addition, something unusual has been installed on this ship.
Behind the ship, there was a large squid towed by several thick ropes. Ikada placed a wooden board on a lined barrel of Tartarus and fixed it. It was almost square in shape, and one of them seemed to be about ten meters.
Can this move?
Can a sailboat that is powered by the wind on the sail pull such a large squid?
I was a little worried, but as soon as I took off the rope that connected to the pier, the ship slowly left the port for the open ocean. Look, look, the port is getting smaller and farther.
"Come on, why don't you go to the cabin? We'll be busy when we get there, so let's stay calm until then. If you stay on deck all the time, the tide will make your hair sticky."
That said, Brigitta walks towards Sta and the cabin.
"Is the tacket still here?
Chante asked me, and Taketo got a little lost. I wanted to stay on the move and rest, but I still feel like I want to see the sea here for a while.
"Yeah, I will. Go ahead."
"Yes, what about Tong?
When Chante opened the lid of Taketo's bag, Tonyoshi dazzled his eyes with a sleepy face.
"I want to mud."
"Sorry, there's no mud here. Don't leave the mud until we're done with this job."
"Why aren't you putting mud on the ship?
"Well, humans don't bathe in mud. Chante, Tonyoshi will be with you later."
So Chante went after Brigitta and went to the cabin.
Tongi was about to leave the bag, so he put his hand to the side and lifted it up.
I thought about putting it on the fence on the deck so that it was easy to see the view, but when I fell into the sea, I immediately reconsidered the trouble and put Tongi on my head.
"Wow. It looks good as far as you can see. But wherever you look, it's the sea."
"Don't you smell the tide because you have a good nose?
That's what the Taketo said, Tongi smells the air.
"It does have a strong smell, but it's not a bad smell. Rather, I feel a bit nostalgic."
"Heh, you've been to the sea before?
Asked by the tacket, Tonyoshi leaned his head tightly.
"I don't remember. But I also feel like I've been talking to someone somewhere with this smell in the past."
"Who is it?
"I think he was a familiar friend. But... when I try to remember, my memory is still blurry... I don't know."
I see.
I wish I remembered something about the smell of the tide. With that in mind, Tonyoshi went down to the shoulder of the tacket and jumped from there to the deck.
"I'd like to take a walk. Is it the sea over there too?
Tongi ran toward the stern like a small ball of hair rolling over the slowly tilting deck stirred by the waves.
"Oh, wait a minute."
I chased after the tacket in a hurry. Tonyoshi can run away on his own if something is unusual. I want you to be able to chase me.
However, Tongi did not stop the tacket and ran up the stairs leading to the stern. As the tacket followed Tongi up the stairs, Tongi sat down a little on the aft fence and looked behind the ship.
As the tacket approached, Tonyoshi looked back and pointed at the back of the ship with his front leg.
"Your husband. What is that?
Behind this Galleon vessel, I see a large squid being towed.
He said, "Put a protective beast in there."
"Are you such a big beast?
The bamboo butt nods.
"Reiki is a turtle beast."
"Reiki, is that you?"
And there was a voice from behind.
"The Islander rescue ship left first. This ship is the last. It's time to speed it up."
It was a middle-aged man with a mustache who walked here. He's wearing a ruffle, but the costume belongs to the Royal Navy. And the decor is a little more sparkly than the rest of the Marines.
I remember my face because I greeted him when I boarded this ship. Captain of this ship. It was definitely a name called Grappa.
Captain Grappa slightly crosses the aft fence and dexterity crosses the rope towards Ikada, who is being towed behind him.
And when he reached Ikada, he went to the end and crouched down. Looked like he was reaching out to the side of Ikada and doing something.
After a while, the water splashes up violently from there.
The captain repeated the same task all around Ikada before returning to the ship. The tacket, which was watching the whole thing, asked the captain, who had crossed the aft fence.
"What were you doing?
"Hmm? Oh, there's a water spirit magic stone embedded around that squid. Big one. I actuated it and caused the water to flow. This will speed you up a little bit."
The captain said that the ship was speeding up.
