Chapter 223 – 7. Does the Princess of Colchis Dream of Cinderella? (14)
Was she more tired than she thought? YuRia woke up from a sound sleep without knowing the world. And stretched her out.
‘Well, it’s been so long since I’ve been using my strength properly, so I was so excited’
How strong was she? It wasn’t a matter of how much force she used.
Even if it wasn’t so, she had been dealing with countless hands invisible to other people for a week without a break in a state of loss of a large amount of strength, so she was tired.
When I woke up, Roa and her party had gone out, and I was the only one in the room, and the sun was up in the middle of the night no matter how much I slept.
‘How long have you been sleeping? Usually she rarely sleeps like this dead,
It was the first time I had slept as if I was dead, except for the few times I had become half-corpse in the past.
“…”
Was it not that bad?
Or not… Did she feel so safe and at ease?
She herself did not know why, but perhaps it was thanks to her deep sleep that her body and mind were so refreshed and her energy recovered quite a bit.
Chiing!
“Is Loa over there?”
After finding out the location of her party once, Yuria was able to see her party on the spot.
Roa still didn’t feel anything, but Tamamo and Er seemed to feel something, Tamamo’s ears pricked up and his tail twitched, and Er’s wings twitched for a moment, and his tail, which had been tapping the floor unknowingly, twitched and stopped. It seemed that he felt the waves he spread to find the party a while ago.
“Hmm…”
Yuria, who shook her body once and stretched her body from the back of her neck to the tip of her tail, realized at the moment that she was doing the stretching method similar to that of a fox. I realized again what I was doing.
Is that why? For some reason, the fox ears, which were moving and prickling, suddenly became conscious.
“It’s strange because it’s an unfamiliar feeling.”
Having her ears on top of her head was a bit strange, so YuRia raised her hand and touched it a few times, but for some reason it didn’t feel erotic, but for some reason it felt a little strange, so she removed her hand.
And for some reason, I didn’t feel like touching the tail very much.
“…”
But apart from her heart, what would happen if you touched it? She even came up with the idea to do.
There seemed to be no problem at all, and there was nothing urgent, so after solving her curiosity, YuRia, thinking of going to the loa, somehow reluctantly, out of curiosity, stretched her hand toward her tail.
I thought it wouldn’t be very good to touch it, so I gently squeezed it, but surprisingly, I didn’t feel much.
YuRia, who removed her hand because she felt uncomfortable and strange for some reason while she was slowly casting, pondered for a while about why she felt that it would be bad even though she touched it like this, then boldly squeezed it.
“Kang-?!”
Really jerk! A thrilling shock ran down the spine from the tail to the top of the head.
It was as if something had been touched where it was not supposed to be touched.
It was a strange feeling, as if the inside of a wound had been forcibly touched.
There was such an unpleasant feeling.
“Is this how it feels?”
This made her feel that cats, foxes, and other animals did not like people touching their tails.
In some cases, it could be an erogenous zone, but in fact, in most cases, I felt that it was very unpleasant and that it must be a place where people are reluctant to touch.
That, more than that, I’m ‘Kang!’ Did you shout out?
Like Tamamo?
It didn’t seem like anything to be ashamed of, but for some reason, Yuria’s face flushed red.
It was kind of embarrassing.
Thinking that she was lucky no one saw her, YuRia jumped out of her window.
Fortunately, the loa were not too far away, so they should be able to meet soon.
“Loa!”
“! YuRia!”
Roa was a little surprised when Yuria, who had been running up to her, jumped up and threw her body away, but she slammed it and took Yuria away.
“You woke up so early”
“Early? I thought I slept for a long time because I felt lighter than I thought.”
“It’s early for a deep sleep. I fell asleep yesterday and it’s not even past lunch yet.”
At Roa’s words, Yuria hesitated and tilted her head.
“I was really scared to the point of knowing you were dead yesterday.”
“That, was that enough?”
“I wonder if I would have put my ear to her chest to check if her heart was beating.”
YuRia was a little taken aback by those words.
She was so deeply asleep that she didn’t know the world.
No matter how you think about it, this wasn’t normal.
What happened?
She comes back again and again, stepping on the threshold of her death, in a state where she still hasn’t fully recovered. Is that not enough, so in fact, is it a reaction to going through that door again and again?
I thought I was recovering well now, but when I think about it, I’ve never seen it ruined to such a mess.
In the past, if I was seriously injured, I would go to the next battle after recovering.
And there were very few things that hurt even the soul like now.
She was neither happy nor humiliated.
Have you been overconfident in yourself? Could it be that he reached his limit without even realizing it?
However, after a good night’s sleep, his condition was very good.
But what if this is a phenomenon like hemireflection?
She had prided herself on knowing her condition up until now, but when this happened she was terrified.
Lord, I don’t want to die.
Not yet… I don’t want to die yet.
Maybe it’s not really a star. You have to stay calm.
“Yuria, what’s wrong? Are you still very tired?”
“Oh, no… It’s not like that…”
“Do you have any other bad memories?”
“…”
Neither is it.
But really maybe. The thought that maybe her own lifespan might be coming to an end made Yuria suddenly scared, but she couldn’t bear to tell Roa about it.
This is just hypothetical and unconfirmed.
If she was really like that, there’s no way Tia wouldn’t have noticed and she would have told her to be prepared.
YuRia, who had been thinking about this and that for a while and analyzing her condition from various angles, looked at Tamamo with a curious mind.
She now has a part of herself that is the only one of her own that cannot make her self-diagnosis.
It was her own heart nestled inside her Tamamo.
‘No way… Is it too much for my heart?’
For now, he tried to reassure the loa and continued to collect information.
The best way is to catch him in this port and rescue the princess, but if not, I needed more information about this place to know how to act.
And in order to safely catch him in this port, more information was needed.
How many ships will arrive here? Where to put the boat Besides that, I figured out every little thing like this.
Circumstantially, they seemed to regard us as explorers who pioneered ships with new technologies and new routes, and we took full advantage of that.
The fox food soul doesn’t need to eat anything, but it doesn’t mean it can’t eat it, so we bought groceries and threw them onto the boat to avoid arousing suspicion from people around us.
To be honest, it was a bit of an act of bitterness.
It was just throwing money in the air to avoid suspicion.
As she continued her interrogation activities, Yuria quietly spoke to Tamamo through her will.
An incomprehensible deep sleep.
And her own condition.
Upon hearing that, Tamamo gave an unexpected answer.
“How about sleeping without a fox this time before sleeping?”
“Huh?”
“It may be the influence of the body. Even if you’re not a perfect fox, isn’t it influenced by the state that turned your body into a fox?」
What about Yuria at Tamamo’s words? And she was a little surprised.
Why did I miss that part?
“Even if that happens, if something similar happens again, then we will exchange hearts without delay.”
“… Huh”
To Tamamo’s words of sincere concern for her, YuRia gave a small answer.
“If your hypothesis is really true, if you go through something even worse, you will be shattered like a really cracked glass this time. Her younger sister, the original daughter, does not want to die in vain. It is her original daughter’s dream to live with her husband for a long time, and it has not yet been revealed what will happen between the original daughter and her descendants, but if necessary, always use her original daughter as a shield」
At Tamamo’s words, Yuria gulped and swallowed her saliva.
“To be dirty. Even if it gets ruined, the original woman will take care of everything… The ties between the original daughter and Seobangnim in this life have already been severed, and what remains is the ties between each other’s future generations. It is better for the original woman whose period has already been stamped at the end of it to be destroyed… 」
At Tamamo’s words, Yuria snapped! And she grabbed Tamamo’s tail.
“Kang!?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. In the end, if you get hit, I get hit.”
“… 」
“Let’s try. Let’s struggle. I’m struggling, struggling, struggling, and trying not to get dirty.”
Tamamo nodded her head at those words.
“Okay… The bonnyeo said useless things. My, our bodies belong only to the West, but I was already thinking of giving them to someone else.”
Incomprehensibly. A lot has changed now in this life with the loa, which was overshadowed by insults to the point of being bizarrely vicious.
At least. There has never been anything similar to humiliation since the work of the ambassador.
The world is also now turning away from hostility and providing convenience as much as possible, unless it is unavoidable.
In this part, it seems that there was probably some kind of deal with Tia, but somehow, the malicious situation caused by the world no longer happens. On the contrary, if he received divine protection, he would receive it, but there would be no tricks.
It’s not all the world’s fault, but considering that the influence of the quadrant world had been great in the days marked by such painful and painful disgrace, it was like turning to a situation where we could think a little optimistically.
He himself has recovered enough to be able to protect himself in quite a few things now.
This body, which had been deformed in the cursed days suffered by the Eight Masters, was finally able to acquire resistance to magic and sorcery.
It was no longer a body that would be weakly subjected to poison, sleeping pills, or aphrodisiacs with magical abilities added like before.
Above all, Tamamo’s heart was firmly establishing and nurturing her resistance to the mysteries such as magic and sorcery that had been created in this body.
Now, you can really break down the slightest trick from the front.
And I won’t be careless either.
With such a commitment, today’s exploration of Kabhang was coming to an end with the setting sun.
* * *
The trivial rules of this place acquired while wandering around Kabhang, customs, customs, and precautions only here. I was able to get a lot of information like this.
Indigenous people living here mainly get food from the inland, but the staple food in Kab Port was mainly dependent on fish and seafood.
The food transported from Ine or Idian was very precious because it came across the sea, but the food transported in this way was a major trade item with the tribesmen living in the Kingdom of Epi.
“Well, the land is so barren that you can hardly grow crops, so it must be the most valuable item.”
Everyone nodded at Roa’s words. As Roa said, crops that could be preserved for a long time, such as grains and potatoes, would have the same value as gold.
Above all, considering that most of their food comes from meat obtained through livestock or hunting, the existence of these crops, which can obtain nutrients from other parts that cannot be obtained from meat alone, is very welcome.
Second, a dagger.
The existence of the dagger, which is very helpful in processing game and livestock and other materials obtained through this process, was a very welcome item for them, more than grain in any sense.
Of course, if you brought a dagger of such a poor quality, you would be cursed at and eaten, and it had to be a good dagger that at least a high-level monster could be stabbed and stabbed.
Other than that, there are a few more major trade items, but that part will be skipped.
The important thing is the Cav Port. Epi kingdom also said that both of them are short of food.
And, although not as much as the Ing Empire, the Epi Kingdom is a major producer of cacao and coffee.
“Is that strange? Coffee and cacao aren’t originally produced here, right?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Oh no, just let it go”
I don’t know what happened, but if this really was Earth, the small continent would be Australia. Newre is New Zealand.
As the axis of rotation stood straight, the four seasons eased considerably, and the northern and southern hemispheres, which had opposite seasons of winter and summer, met summer and winter at the same time side by side.
Is that the result? Overall, the temperature of each region is fairly leveled, and it is originally an Arctic close to the polar region, no. The upper part of the Asian continent, which has now become Antarctica, was also in a situation where people could live.
The axis of rotation was straightened and the orbit changed to an ellipse. A state in which the polar reversal of the magnetic field has occurred.
In addition, for some reason, except for Korea, everything has become Europeanized, and on the contrary, all of South America and North America have become orientalized.
As a result, the Asian continent is the western continent. The American continent is called the Eastern Continent?
This is originally the main production of cacao or coffee, but it must be on the American side? South America to be exact.
The place that is now called the Northeast Continent.
‘What… But’
If the climate and vegetation of each continent have changed this much, it is no wonder that the main mountain areas have changed…
However, considering the vegetation of the cacao trees he knows and considering the climate of the Epi Kingdom he has heard so far, it seems that the land is not suitable for growing well. Cacao is one of the major exports of the Epi Kingdom?
No, honestly, coffee is weird too, right?
Isn’t that the cacao and coffee I know?
After thinking about it for a while, YuRia thought about it. Even though she had eaten synthetic coffee or chocolate in her hometown, she had never eaten natural coffee or cacao. I’ve only tried it, but I’ve never really thought about it in depth.
Why did he think that the cacao and coffee he calls here would be the same as those he had only seen through records?
If they evolved over and over again, they would have different characteristics.
Or, isn’t it possible that breeding and changes have occurred in other plants, and fruits or seeds that can be used for purposes similar to coffee and cacao have been produced.
“…”
First of all, I need to get some of his coffee and cacao.
And coincidentally, Yuria had a Cheat of Cheat where she could purchase almost unlimited amounts of coffee and cacao.
Even to the people of Effie Kingdom. And a proper cheat key that will be greatly welcomed by the western continental people of Kab Port who are inheriting fish here.
Once that night. Unfortunately, we couldn’t make love because everyone was sleeping in the same room, but as Tamamo said, she took off her fox shoes and kept the sleep mode, but Yuria, who returned to her usual form, buried her face in Roa’s arms and smelled Roa’s body odor. I fell asleep softly.
And the next morning. No, YuRia, who woke up naturally at the end of dawn, let out a sigh of relief as she saw her party still asleep.
It wasn’t a deep, dead sleep like yesterday, and the duration of sleep was similar to normal. It felt normal.
Thank god. Indeed, as Tamamo had said, it seemed that the bizarre sleep had occurred as a fox.
Of course, even if it wasn’t certain yet, Yuria was really relieved.
The odds that she had an ideal that she didn’t even understand had gone down considerably, if not yet certain.
From that day on, things went by busily.
She summoned Talos to the apron on the far side of her ship, opened the entrance to the subspace, and took out a large amount of food.
She, of course, did not forget to leave a regular letter to Delis, in which she wrote down what and how much she had taken out.
And she sure has come this far.
In addition, after the last ship arrived, they were very excited about the food that was virtually impossible to obtain here, as they faced a winter in which the ship could not come for a long time.
She really did, because for the first time in a long time she was able to eat real uplifting food instead of a stew made with a large amount of fish sautéed in animal fat.
Is that why? This kind of high-quality information that hadn’t come out the day before started popping up.
Where is the cocoa? Where is kava (coffee), how is it mainly traded, when does it come to the buffer zone in front of the port, etc.
And even within the Epi kingdom, each tribe shows different tendencies and characteristics, and how their approximate distribution is.
Valuable information that literally became bones and flesh overflowed.
Interestingly, all the information flowing in like that had words like ‘this is a secret’ at the beginning.
Actually, Roa didn’t say anything special, but since Nana, Tamamo, and Er were short, they seemed to have lowered their vigilance because they thought they were children.
It seems that it was a complacent thought that a child would know what he knew, but it was rather a good thing for YuRia.
It was an unintentional benefit seen in the form of a child.
And.
The most important thing was that he could almost identify which ship the worthy guy and the princess would be on, which was the biggest gain.
The most advanced and last. And two ships in the middle of the fleet. In this way, a total of 4 ships are combat merchant ships that transport cargo, but rather than that, they are ships loaded with cannons and full of combat personnel. Between 3 and 4 are merchant ships to load as much pure cargo as possible. And the most central space between numbers 2 and 3 was the space where the passenger ships were located.
The same is true when it comes to boating.
He said that it would not be difficult to recognize the combat merchant ship as it had the feeling of ‘I am a combat ship’ just by looking at it from the outside.
“Doesn’t it make things easier than I thought?”
YuRia nodded at him.
If this was the case, it was a situation that could not be missed.
She thought that she would be able to finish her work quickly and go back without much difficulty, so it felt like even the slightest anxiety was washed away.
And. A few days later.
Finally, about 20 ships arrived at Kav Port, and the two ships full of scars that were definitely at the forefront and the merchant ships lined up behind them.
And, although less than the frontmost battleship seen in the middle, two ships full of formidable scars were sandwiched in the middle.
Even at the tail end of the fleet, two such scarred ships were positioned as they had been told.
What Yuria should be aiming for is between number 2 and number 3 in the ranks of warships full of scars.
She tensed up and glared at the people getting off the boat, but something was off.
Thinking that they might be deceiving their senses in an unknown way, YuRia, Tamamo, and Er each read the people falling through in different ways.
Er is a technique through divine power.
Yuria with magic and psychic powers.
Tamamo uses witchcraft and supernatural powers.
Even Loa was secretly releasing her aura to see if there was anything strange, but nothing caught on.
There was no way this would happen.
What happened?
Just when everyone was flustered by such an unexpected situation, among all the buzz, a conversation was heard in YuRia’s ears.
“Well, what the hell are they? Why did they get off in the middle?”
“Well, it doesn’t matter since I paid for the boat, but it must be dangerous.”
“!!…”
Everyone looked at Uriah at her fox ears standing upright.
“Damn it! I caught it”
“Yuria?”
“I think I got off the ship in the middle of the boat”
It didn’t take long for the facial expressions of the party, who couldn’t understand what he was talking about, to change.
YuRia hurriedly jumped off and hurried towards the people she had just spoken to.
While still talking about this and that and carrying their luggage, they saw the little blue-haired fox running towards them and smiled at their father, thinking that it was cute.
“Kid, what’s going on here? Guys are busy…”
“Wait a minute! Can those people who got off halfway know where they got off?”
At that, they expressed a little disapproval.
“That’s because I’ve already received the money on condition of secrecy.”
Yuria didn’t like it this way, but she sighed and swallowed her anger inside, pulling out one of her small pockets from her arms.
“Huh?”
“It’s all pepper.”
At that, the two eyes widened and their expressions changed.
“Me, really?”
“It’s okay to check. We came out after receiving a secret request from the kingdom, so we can’t tell you the details, but the person who got off in the middle must be the person we were looking for.”
At those words, the two of them with the kid in front of them. And seeing Roa, Tamamo, and Er who were running fast after the little boy, he thought about it for a while.
“Really?”
“Yes”
The two exchanged glances at him for a moment, then sighed.
“I won’t take pepper. But I’ll let you know. Where did they get off?”
* * * * *
Shoot -!!
Yuria’s ship spread all the sails to the fullest, ignoring efficiency, not just cruising, and all within the limit that the sails and masts could withstand, and everyone in the party created the wind with magic and magic.
“Approximately 30km south along the coast”
The speed of the ship had already exceeded 40 knots instead of 30, but Yuria’s heart was still impatient.
“Did he already foresee this situation through the princess?”
She was careless
I was too careless…
Could it be that the princess was actively cooperating with him as her own will, or rather, was she taking the initiative and moving?
If that was the case, it was the worst in many ways.
If the current situation was really like that, it was a situation where you might have to see a lot of bleeding.
