Chapter 429 – 429. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
429. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated into the Baek Family
The Red Flying Fish Pirates returned to Uric Island.
Bicol, one of the executives of the pirate alliance, was still drinking at the tavern. It seemed all he did was drink here, but this guy was a great pirate who commanded a total of eight pirate ships.
“Heh heh…. You came faster than I thought. I heard the rumors. You burned five pirate ships, right? I didn’t know you had such outstanding abilities.”
He spoke casually. However, I noticed that his demeanor was different from before. Before, there was a subtle feeling of ignoring Dairan, but now he was clearly wary of her.
‘Well, if you hear that five pirate ships were burned and sunk at once, you can’t ignore it.’
Dairan threw a gold coin at Bicol. Bicol snatched the coin as if he had been waiting for it.
“I want to contact Borics.”
“Heh heh…. It’s not much… but Borics also wants to talk to you.”
Bicol threw a magic communication device. Dairan infused mana into the device.
-I’ve been waiting, Dairan.
“Borics, I handled it as you wanted.”
-I heard the report. I didn’t think you’d actually succeed.
I could feel Borics’s genuine admiration. He probably thought she would fail even after saying it. From his point of view, it wouldn’t have mattered if Dairan had died.
“They were inexperienced guys. They were also very careless. And I didn’t kill them all.”
-Even if the opponent is careless, sinking five pirate ships is a huge achievement. You have enough skill to become an executive. Did you use the mage you have with you?
“That’s right. You know how great mages are in this aspect, right?”
-I should also get a mage.
“You’ll recommend one, right?”
-I may be a pirate, but I’m not one to talk lightly. I will recommend you as an executive.
“Thank you. Good work.”
-I look forward to seeing you again.
The communication ended. Dairan returned the communication device to Bicol and turned away without any regrets.
“Don’t you need to get two more recommendations?”
Bicol asked. She answered without looking back.

The Red Flying Fish pirate ship sped across the sea, riding the wind.
Dairan was sitting on the bow. Her red hair fluttered in the sea breeze.
Recently, she had been staring blankly at the sea for a long time. According to the female pirates, Dairan looks at the sea when she is thinking.
I approached and sat next to Dairan. Dairan was startled when she saw my face.
Since the day I saved her life with artificial respiration, her attitude towards me had changed. She and the female pirates might not have noticed, but it was obvious to me, who was observing her with all my senses focused on her.
“……Do you have something to say?”
“I was curious about what you were thinking while looking at the sea, so I came here.”
“…….”
Dairan closed her mouth. Usually, she would have dismissed it as nothing and backed away. But today was a little different. Humans sometimes have sentimental days, and it seemed like today was one for Dairan.
‘She seems to be getting sentimental every day in the captain’s cabin….’
I had secretly installed a camera in the captain’s cabin. I also knew that she masturbated once or twice a day since I saved her. She was probably using me as her fantasy material.
“I was thinking about what to do after the plan is over.”
“After? Are you going to become a mercenary as you said before? Or settle down in a rural village?”
“I’ve been thinking about it, and I don’t think I can leave the sea.”
“Why? If you continue to be a pirate, you’ll be branded as a traitor and die soon, won’t you?”
“Because the sea is where I was born and raised. And if I create a new pirate alliance… that possibility disappears. Oh, don’t worry, I have no intention of pirating in your territory.”
The possibility of her creating a pirate alliance was extremely low.
No matter how much of a pirate she was, no one would support her after she betrayed the alliance once. And there was no way she didn’t know this fact.
She was being stubborn now. Because she didn’t want to leave the sea.
‘She’s not an ordinary woman, so she has confidence… but the world isn’t that easy.’
I looked at her and felt a thrill. Now! My instincts were screaming that now was the perfect opportunity.
“What do you mean by ‘born and raised’? Are you from a fishing village?”
“It’s exactly as I said. I was born on the sea. To be exact, my mother gave birth to me on a merchant ship sailing the sea.”
“Huh…. That’s something.”
I agreed and listened to her information. Dairan looked at the sea and freely shared information about herself.
It meant that she had gained a certain level of trust in me. She might even trust me more than her own subordinates.
Trust in a person isn’t something you can gain just by spending a long time together.
“My father was a merchant with a baronial title. He owned seven merchant ships. I learned about the sea from my father and the navigators from a young age. I had the hired sailors take me out to the nearby sea every day to improve my sailing skills.”
“Oh. So you were a noble. But why did you become a pirate now?”
“My father passed away ten years ago. Three days after a day of heavy rain and thunder, my father’s subordinate, who had lost an arm, came to the mansion and told me about my parents’ death. The sea took my parents.”
“…….”
“I was out of my mind at the time. It was hard to believe that my parents had died in an instant, and I was faced with billions of debts due to failed trades. The interest was increasing every day, so I thought it was impossible to repay it. So, I ran away to the sea with Gula, the daughter of a mercenary leader, and became a pirate.”
“……And yet you like the sea?”
“I know I’m weird. But the sea is my world. How can I run away from the world I live in?”
Dairan suddenly sighed.
“I’ve talked too much nonsense. Forget about this conversation. It’s not an interesting story.”
I grabbed her shoulder to stop her from getting up.
“My offer is still valid. If you like the sea, become a navy officer of Thebra and roam it. I’ll let you roam the sea under my name.”
“…Ha. What makes you think I’d trust you? I’d rather live freely as a pirate and die than be used by a noble and die.”
“I have no intention of abandoning my woman. Rather, I will actively help you if you want something.”
“That means…….”
She looked at me as if she couldn’t believe it.
I spoke to her seriously in the manner of a pirate.
“You, become my woman.”
“…Ha. As if I didn’t know your goal was my body… Ugh!?”
I leaned in and kissed her. I pretended to close my eyes and opened them slightly. She was flustered, but she didn’t push me away right away and hesitated.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Eventually, Dairan closed her eyes. Her lips, which were large, were thick, soft, and supple.
I slowly rubbed my lips against hers, and her mouth naturally opened.
It was time for my tongue to move. I put my tongue into her mouth. Dairan trembled for a moment, but soon responded with her tongue.
“Uhn….”
A sticky sound was made as saliva mixed. Dairan was bad at kissing. She clearly had the air of a virgin.
I didn’t stop kissing her even as I breathed.
After about 10 minutes, I casually brought my hand to Dairan’s chest.
Squish.
I was about to enjoy the happy sensation, but Dairan grabbed my wrist and pulled away. She glared at me with a flushed face.
“I’m not your woman.”
“Even after kissing?”
“…….”
Dairan’s eyes wavered. She didn’t seem sure what her own feelings were yet.
I chuckled.
“Okay. I respect your will. I’ll just kiss you.”
I returned to my usual tone. She had already crossed the line the moment she allowed the kiss.
I kissed her again while using heightened senses.
“Huu…”
I wondered how many days she would be able to maintain her purity.
•••
The Red Flying Fish pirate ship docked at a village. It was obviously not an ordinary village. It was a village that had joined hands with the pirates. It was one of the strongholds of the pirate alliance.
Dairan confidently walked through the village and entered the largest and most luxurious hut.
The interior was filled with luxurious, flamboyant, and bizarre furniture and decorations.
The man was sitting arrogantly in a leather chair.
“Oh! Dairan! I heard the story, but I didn’t think you’d actually come to me.”
Lemor.
One of the executives of the pirate alliance. He had short brown hair, a monkey-like face and ears. His body was slender, but he wore flashy accessories, giving off the atmosphere of a wealthy tycoon.
From what I heard before coming here, this guy was a pirate, but he was more of a smuggler.
“You know that if you want my recommendation, you have to give me what I want, right?”
Lemor’s hobby was collecting antiques.
The reason Dairan and I searched the sunken ships under the sea was to trade with this guy.
“I’ve prepared it. You’ll like it.”
“Well, can it satisfy my eyes?”
Dairan’s subordinates placed a box in front of him. He opened the box with a delighted look, like a child receiving a birthday present.
“Hoo-ooh-ooh?”
Lemor carefully took out an object.
It was a bizarre statue.
The torso was in the shape of a common fish, but it had thin, withered human arms and legs.
“Kuh! Amazing! The statue itself is great, but the gold bracelets and anklets are really cool!”
Even if it was gold, its value was low. Even if all of those were real gold, they wouldn’t be worth more than five gold coins.
“Is the deal done?”
Lemor, who had been making a fuss over the statue for a long time, carefully placed it on the table.
“Of course. I’ll give you a recommendation. This is the third recommendation, right? Who are you planning to get the other one from?”
“Lend me Uging’s communication device.”
“So it’s that guy.”
Lemor chuckled.
My expression naturally crumpled. I had heard Dairan’s plan in advance, so I didn’t like the guy named Uging.
‘Hold it in. Hold it in. Just hold on for a moment.’
Dairan, who had received the communication device, activated it.
The communication was established after dozens of seconds of no response.
-Lemor. Did you get the item I ordered?
A man’s voice, as if coated in oil, was heard.
“Uging. It’s me.”
-That lovely voice is…! Dairan!
Uging raised his voice. Dairan’s face frowned for a moment.
“…….”
-Do you know that it’s been three months since we talked like this? And that you, Dairan, contacted me first! I can’t be any happier!
“Uging, my business is….”
-I know. You want my recommendation, right? But unfortunately, if I give out recommendations carelessly, I’ll lose face. However, if you meet my conditions, I’ll gladly recommend you.
Dairan glanced at me. It was almost an instinctive movement, but I, who was focused on her, didn’t miss it.
“If you recommend me…….”
I reached out and wrapped my arm around Dairan’s firm waist. With my other hand, I caressed her face.
Dairan looked at me with wide eyes, and Lemor grinned as if he found it interesting. I looked at Lemor. I was worried that he might interfere, but he was smiling silently, so it didn’t seem like I needed to worry.
-Huh? What is it, Dairan? Why did you suddenly stop talking?
It was fortunate that it was a communication device that only transmitted sound. If it was a high-end communication device that transmitted images as well, the plan would have already gone wrong.
“…I was just thinking for a moment.”
Dairan didn’t push me away. It was probably thanks to the kisses we had shared whenever we had the chance on the pirate ship. I put my lips to Dairan’s ear. Dairan trembled slightly.
-Haha! That’s a useless worry, Dairan. I told you before. We’re a match made in heaven. We can live a good life in this sea if we’re together.
I licked her white neck.
“Haa….”
-Oh, that’s a sexy sigh? Dairan! You know what I want. So tell me yourself!
“If you recommend me… Heuk…. I, I’ll marry you.”
My woman was going to marry another man…. Even though I knew it was a lie and part of the plan, I didn’t like it at all. Out of spite, I loosened her leather corset and put my hand inside her top.
Dairan, with her face flushed red, didn’t resist.
-Dairan. Your voice is trembling, are you embarrassed? Haha! Don’t worry. I’ll treat you well from now on. I told you before, but I fell in love with you at first sight. We’ll be a great couple. How about we have our wedding on a pirate island on the day you become an executive?
“Pfft, kekekekeke!”
Lemor couldn’t hold back his laughter and burst out laughing.
