Chapter 603 – [My Summer Vacation]
The academy went on vacation shortly after the final exams were over.
There are two vacations here, summer and winter. There is no such thing as spring break, but during that time students do their own thing.
First of all, in the case of scholarship students, they earn tuition during that period, or those who can afford it go home. I was on the latter side.
“I have to go back and introduce my wife to my acquaintances in the ecliptic.”
“I am Your Highness’s wife!!!!!”
“No, Luminus is still engaged. Marriage will happen after you become an adult.”
“It’s too far until you’re 20. And nobles often get married before then.”
“If you say that, well… I could do it a little earlier, but I’m still too young to do it.”
No matter how much Zion was a transcendental person, it was a little burdensome, but I, a transcendental person, also had sex with a young body and almost became an eunuch.
In addition, looking back, there was also a young girl who was raped as a victim of a group of people I saw and passed away after suffering from anxiety, so there was a sense of rejection.
Even if you do, you should do it if your body is dark! Finish with the 2nd sexual characteristic and come!
“What are the secondary sex characteristics?”
“…….Come when you have hair between your legs.”
“Yes!”
With the easiest analogy, Ruminus’s mouth was closed. At least there won’t be any talk of that for a while.
Considering the most notable sexual change, that’s number one. At least you can keep your mouth shut for a while.
Anyway, it’s vacation or I have to do what I have to do during vacation.
That’s why you know what the Northern Islands are doing. I don’t know anything else, but it reminds me of the black witch in the black forest. So I had to go once.
“I’ll be at the academy for a while, let’s go back to the ecliptic when we’re done with the Northern Islands.”
“I remember you said there was work there. I’ll get it for now.”
“Mister, what about me? Shall I follow you?”
“I can go alone and finish it quickly, but what, you’re here too”
I dried the sun. I don’t know about anything else, but even if Seon is strong, using my own strength is different from using my strength. At least in terms of this global position and whatnot.
“Oh, I’ll wait too.”
“No, Luminous can go back first and look at his family.”
“Father and brother are still busy. Oh, and now father will become a duke.”
“Are you a duke (Jin)?”
I was a little surprised because Leticia often sends news, and it was a story I hadn’t heard either.
But there’s nothing particularly strange about it. The size of the territory of the Margrave of Bistra is a few times the size of the empire, and the armed forces are also the continental ten. Even the black forest has been purified, and now he is the most influential person in the empire.
Besides, even Duke Magnus withdrew from the front line, so the duke’s Tio is empty. That’s enough to get into.
“Huh? Did you? I haven’t heard of it?”
“My father informed me in a letter. He was still in negotiations, so it was not known externally.”
“Ah, then it can’t be helped…… Huh? By the way, Duke?”
If there is one more question, the position you receive. Having the duke’s seat vacant and accepting it were two different things.
Do you know why a Duke is a Duke? Although he was in a position where he could be treated like a duke, he was a duke because he had to have a blood relationship with the royal family.
“You have a blood relationship.”
“…….Ah, that’s right. I thought the first princess sister and Knox were getting married again.”
“What’s the double-sad money?”
It’s also a pretty good option. If I hadn’t been engaged to Ruminus, I would normally have married the 1st princess sister and Ruminus’ brother Knox in order to strengthen my power.
Maybe my sister agreed after thinking about it for a while. Since you can have your father-in-law as the Ten Continental Powers, it will be more advantageous for you to become the emperor.
“Come to think of it, what’s your power structure like?”
“First of all, the prince’s older brother and the 1st princess’ sister are the two major mountain ranges. In the past, it could be called a three-way battle, but the 2nd prince’s prestige has died a lot.”
The beginning was that Leticia’s parental family, Baron Brandish, had been replaced and transferred from that faction.
Of course, that by itself is not a big blow. It must have been an acceptable loss, but it was a big blow that I ended the war there by purifying the delusional land of the Bistra territory.
It doesn’t leave a huge gain, but a gain is a gain. It is a stable income, not a temporary one. Count Vermilion, the mother of the 2nd Prince, makes a living from the military business, so if the amount of military supplies going into the Bistra estate decreases, the blow will immediately occur.
As a result, the position of the second prince is not as good as before. If you’re lucky, the faction that you can compare with other factions has turned into an enemy that can be defeated if you take some damage.
“A guy like that is the most dangerous. No matter what you do, it’s the end, so there are cases where you can do whatever you want.”
“I agree too”
It is said that a cornered mouse bites a cat. Besides, the second prince has a dirty personality.
If anything, she doesn’t want to be with her. But she hates having to be careful in case of an accident. This is a contradiction.
“Anyway, the pirate king has been waiting for vacation, so he’ll come soon. Then I’ll go out on a boat and finish it quickly and come back.”
“Will you be the pirate king when you return?”
“I don’t think I’m looking for a dress.”
“What is One Piece?”
“It is a treasure so great that it is said to give the whole world.”
“Awesome!!!! Is there really such a thing?”
“Don’t flirt with the kid with strange words?!?!”
Two days after vacation began, Edward showed up with his fleet.
It came unexpectedly early, I thought it would take at least a week, but I think I was staying in this area.
“Hey! The young prince! I’ve come to pick you up! I’m on vacation, so I’m going to the Northern Islands!!!!”
“Yes, yes, I’ve been waiting. I brought something with me, so take this.”
“I thought he would run away, but he came confidently.”
“I said I’m going to the Northern Islands because I have business, but unless something else happens, I won’t put it off.”
“It’s nice that it’s exciting. There are so many guys upstairs who talk twice in one mouth, so I was half-doubted.”
“If you can’t keep your word, why are you wearing Bural?”
“It makes sense!!!! Would you like some rum?”
“Give me one drink. I’m young, so I’ll get drunk if I drink a little.”
“If you’re not drunk, you’re not drinking!”
I boarded the pirate ship. Following Edward’s guidance, we were assigned a room on board and unpacked.
Luggage should be clothes, snacks, and spices. Since this is also the sea, it is enough to catch fish and eat them. If you need to, you can dive in and catch it.
After packing up and coming out to the deck, I breathed in the sea breeze. The pirate ships formed a fleet and were heading north at high speed.
Its appearance is that of a sailboat made of wood, but its speed is comparable to or faster than that of modern ships. If so, it is safe to say that no one in this era can beat him with a navy.
“Yaya ya ya ya! I’m going shamelessly alone!!!! Yaaaaa!!!!”
“Mmm?!?!”
Cooong!
With a loud voice, Ruby flew in and transformed into a human size and lunged at me. It was cute to whine when she was a fairy, but it’s a bit like that when she grows to the size of a human.
Why is it a bit scary when a cat looks like a tiger? He thinks it’s similar.
“Why are you here again? No, do you have anything to do during vacation?”
“I came because I had nothing to do!!!! And you heard everything!!!!”
“What?”
“Didn’t you say you were going to find the treasure that the whole world gave you?
“No, it was a joke, but who did you hear it from?”
“To Luminous”
“Sweep, let’s kill the joke that was meant to be laughed at…”
The academy has already disappeared from sight. Fairies say they can fly, but I don’t know how long they can fly. Besides, if he was sent alone, he would surely get lost and drift in the middle of the sea.
I have no choice but to take it. After all, I’m going back to the academy after this job, so I just need to take him back then.
“What is it, a fairy?”
“It’s a free ride. What do you want to do?”
“I don’t think there will be any problems with one more fairy. But the boarding fee is different.”
“I heard that this dust is so expensive? Pick it up when you have it.”
“Great, good”
“Gyaaaaa! The prince sells me to pirates!!!! Human trafficking! Slave trafficking!!!!”
Edward stepped back in shock at Rubis’ scream. It’s a bit strange reaction, but the reason he gave was in the excuse.
“Oops, it sounds like a big deal. Since the slave revolution, if you do something like human trafficking, you’ll come to catch me.”
“Are you worried about pirates?”
“I’m not joking, all the countries of the different races will come after me, but no country can think of avoiding them all.”
It may be because other races besides humans have a past of being enslaved, so it’s traumatic.
Among the long-lived races like the elves, the Pleione were the ones who experienced that era. If you think about it, even if the elves couldn’t do it, it couldn’t be without influence because the current generation’s top tier was that generation.
I don’t know about beastmen, but dwarves are probably similar. A kingdom there would of course follow.
If you do human trafficking once, more than half of the continent becomes your enemy. I won’t even do it because there’s no merit there.
“Since we’ve sorted out all our stuff, let’s talk about it in earnest. Why don’t you take out the chart?”
“Well, that’s good. Talking about it early is easier later.”
Edward brought the charts from his captain’s office. It was quite old… No, it was almost a relic level map. If it hadn’t been preserved separately, it wouldn’t be strange if it was crumbled a long time ago.
“There are only a handful of maps left. No one goes, no one goes in, no one comes out, so this is really precious.”
“I know that sometimes maps are more valuable than treasure, so keep going.”
Didn’t you think the Western powers were trying to open a route with their eyes open during the Age of Discovery? The charts that recorded these sea routes were worth that much.
Although there are only a few left now, and there is no demand for it, there may be no value, but it may change later.
Before the purification of the Black Forest, it was just an imperial nuisance. You never know.
“The best way to get here is through the southern islands. It will probably take a few days to get here.”
“It’s pretty fast, isn’t it?”
“Because I’m going at full speed. Besides, my boat is always fast regardless of the direction of the wind. At least there is no boat faster than mine in this sea.”
“Are you going to go in right away?”
“Okay, let’s go in here and start full-scale exploration. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to dock at a nearby island.”
A red circle is drawn around the drawn islands on the chart to indicate something. Perhaps that is the area of influence of the ocean currents.
And there is one island closest to the circle. Edward’s goal seemed to be that.
“What if you drift off in an emergency?”
“For now, we’re the only ones going. Even if the ship sinks, if I’m here, I can restore it. Even if you’re stuck on an island and can’t get out, there’s something prepared so you can get out.”
“It’s good to be well-prepared.”
“By the way, I robbed all the money without money in this case. If you fail, you’re bankrupt.”
“If the pirates go bankrupt, you can just buy the bandits.”
“Then you’re going to become the bandit king instead of the pirate king? Wow! That’s great! Here’s someone who eats the king twice in a row!”
“I wish I could get a mountain that I can pick up.”
It’s a joke, but Edward’s preparation was quite thorough.
The most important thing there is life. As long as this pirate fleet is maintained by him, he is the one who most should not die. Even if it’s not that, the fact that we prepared a lot means that we are considering this event as important.
I opened my eyes. It is located in the Northern Islands. There’s quite a distance here, so it’s a bit annoying to detect it in detail, but I’ve been using my strength for the first time in a while.
………I feel the energy of emptiness that I have never felt before.
It’s probably there as well. Something with a strange object possessed by the Black Witch of the Black Forest.
That was our goal. Thanks to that, it didn’t seem like the road I was going to be boring.
“But where are we going now?”
“Why are you suddenly back?”
“Ah, you’re not trying to smuggle in somewhere, are you?”
“That’s North Korea!!!!!”
But thanks to Ruby’s, I won’t be bored living on the ship.
…….. Actually, that’s the downside, too.
