Is this really just an RPG? !

The only way to get to Iceland from Yvette is by Grace.

The one-way fare is about tens of gold coins per person, which is definitely not a good choice for ordinary people. Most of them prefer to start from land and arrive at another famous port city, where they arrive in Iceland by ordinary passenger ship. Besides, the tickets for the Grace ship will be booked out soon, and people without rights and financial resources will not be able to get tickets.

After all, the Grace can also be regarded as a cruise ship used by nobles.

The distance between the departure point and the destination is very long, and the sailing speed of the Grace is slower than most passenger ships, resulting in a sailing time of nearly two weeks. Moreover, because of the various luxurious facilities on the Grace, they are deeply loved by the nobles, so such a passenger ship has gradually become a playground for the nobles.

Inexplicably associated with the word "corruption".

By the way, the tickets should have been booked long ago.

We were able to get on the boat probably because of Lilith’s identity. If you say “It’s the princess who wants to take a cruise ship to Iceland to visit other countries”, there must be many nobles who are willing to give their tickets to Lilith and sell a favor ...Unknowingly, I began to understand some of the situations that these upper classes often encountered, and I didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

In short, after going back in time in Yvette City, I finally boarded the "largest" and "most luxurious" cruise ship. After finding my own room, I handed Roger and Chuqiu to Lilith. I told Emily to stop trying to test the potion on me, then closed the door, fell down and rolled on the bed.

To be fair, I'm a little seasick.

Maybe it was the first time I took a boat.

The last time I touched a boat was at a small pier on the outskirts of Yvette City, which was basically used to dock fishing boats. I went in to investigate the murloc incident. Maybe it was because the boat was docked at that time, so I didn’t find it. Serious problem, not realized until now.

It's a little uncomfortable.

Not long after getting on the boat, I felt dizzy for a while. I thought it was the first time I was on a boat and I didn't adapt very well, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. I hope to get better as soon as possible. I always feel that this journey will not be too smooth. Anyway, as Qiuqiu said, the brave probably has the ability to "induce accidents", no matter where you go, you will encounter things. .

Maybe this time we will meet pirates?

Even though this ship is said to be "comparable in firepower to a warship", it is only a passenger ship after all.

I really don't know what kind of person the captain is, who would think of loading weapons on the passenger ship.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Neil? Can I come in?"

"Ah...Lilith?"

"Um."

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Lilith walked in with a box.

I was a little surprised because there was only Lilith. She came to me, probably because the excuses I used when I left the team were too simple, "I'm a little sleepy and I want to take a break" can be said to be perfunctory, and my complexion should not be very good at that time, Lily It was normal for Ruth to notice that I was seasick.

I just didn't expect Emily not to come along.

Isn't this critical moment just to reflect her excellent pharmaceutical technology? !

"It's weird that it's just me?"

"Ah... it was discovered, how did you guess?"

"That's the only reason why Neil would be surprised!"

is that so?

Obviously there are many reasons.

It always feels like Lilith is deliberately hiding something.

"Is it seasick?"

"A little bit, dizzy, no strength, not too bad."

Compared with those who vomit non-stop when they get on the boat, mine is indeed better.

Not much better though.

Lilith put the box she had brought in on the bedside table and sat down directly beside the bed. After she put her right hand on my forehead and chanted a series of awkward mantras, I felt a lot more comfortable in an instant, not as groggy as before, and my thinking was much clearer. It feels like the "cover your head with a cold washcloth" method, only done by magic.

"It's really convenient."

"Yeah, magic is such a convenient thing, but it's a pity that Neil can't use it."

"Don't keep mentioning this kind of thing!"

I am a little helpless.

The inability to release magic is something that I am very entangled with, and I still can't find the reason. Maybe Miss Sen knew something, but she left the academy without telling me all. The only fortunate thing is that at least I now have a magic weapon that can be liberated. Even if I can only poke it three times a day, it is still capable of fighting.

It's great not to be complained by Qiuqiu anymore.

"Eat this."

"this?"

"Emily's idiosyncratic seasickness pill."

"...a drug test?"

"No, she used to do it often because of the previous hero."

"That's it."

No wonder Emily was not seen.

Could it be that she is the legendary tsundere attribute?

But I only saw Ao but not Jiao from beginning to end.

"Drink some hot water after taking the medicine, it will make you feel better."

"Thank you very much."

"I think you should thank Emily yourself."

"Too."

The potion made by Emily is probably inspired by magic, and the potion takes effect very quickly. Just after taking the potion, I feel that my body is no longer weak. It seems that I don't have to worry about lying in bed for the next few days. She is really good, not only excellent in magic, but also in alchemy.

It's a pity that I didn't bring Emily with me when I met Cooper.

Maybe these two will become best friends.

"What are you thinking, you look happy."

"Thinking of a friend I met not long ago."

"In Yvette City?"

"Um."

"Could it be Miss Nancy?"

"Ah... that's just one of them."

I still wonder why Lilith can always guess my thoughts.

But don't ask too much, anyway, I will use "Neil's mind is easy to guess" and other perfunctory words.

"It's just one of them... That's right, I met Miss Nancy in the afternoon, and it should be noon when Neil met Miss Nancy."

"almost?"

"Isn't Neil used to keeping time?"

"It's not very necessary, is it?"

"It's quite Neil's style, but for some people, this is also a good habit."

"I can't understand."

"If you can't understand it, you can't understand it. Do you want to eat something?"

"Just pour me a glass of water."

After I stopped feeling dizzy and fatigued, I was basically in good shape. It's not noon now, so it's too early to eat. Besides, I kind of want to know what's going on in Iceland. Although I have a year of travel experience, I have only walked around the northwest of the Lindsay Continent. Iceland is in the northeast sea area of ​​the mainland. Before Emily proposed this place, I didn't even know about the existence of Iceland.

Lilith should understand it very well!

"Lilith."

"Huh? Here you are, it's a little hot."

"Thank you...Lilith, how many countries are there in Iceland?"

"ah?"

I was surprised to see Lilith's surprised expression.

But there should be nothing wrong with my way of asking.

"Neil, there is only one country in Iceland."

Oh, I see.

Because when I looked at the map, I found that the islands were scattered, and if the waters were counted, it was a large area, so I subconsciously made a judgment that "there are several countries in this place". It's not surprising that Lilith would be surprised, after all, in her opinion, this kind of thing should be a matter of common sense.

After all, I still don't know enough about this world.

"Sorry, I asked a very strange question."

"It's nothing, I can't react for a little bit, but if you think about it carefully, if it's Neil, it's understandable to ask like this."

"..."

Does that mean I'm understandably stupid? !

Thank you very much, Princess, for your understanding!

I feel inexplicably a little suffocated.

"The Principality of Atochou is the only country that is not on the mainland. In fact, its nature is similar to what Neil said. It is a country composed of many small cities. Our destination this time is Sri Lanka in the Principality of Atochou. Seaport, I will make a detailed plan after disembarking there... Oh, and there is another very important thing."

"Um?"

"In the Principality of Atuqiu, boats are the main means of transportation. Neil, are you okay?"

"I guess so……"

At least after taking Emily's special medicine, I don't have the reaction like seasickness at all. It can't be said to be full of energy, but it can be considered to be in a good state. Theoretically speaking, I should have a good night's sleep, and I'll probably recover almost when I wake up. It's just that I want to hear Lilith talk about things in that country more than sleeping.

Cities built on islands, then cities and cities combined to form nations.

Such a country may have uniqueness?

"In fact, there are similar countries on the mainland."

"Eh?"

"Especially the countries in the southwest. They are even more primitive. They have developed from tribes to cities, and from cities to countries. The customs and habits there are different from those in the north. Maybe it's because of the geographical difference? They live in lush jungles. People who live on the plains are probably more wild than those who live on the plains."

"...What a strange way to say that."

It sounds reasonable, but in fact it doesn't make sense at all!

I think I should change the subject.

"By the way, speaking of it, the Grace is said to have battleship-level firepower?"

"This is not what is said, it is the fact."

"How did you do it……"

"Probably only Captain Brown knows."

"Even Lilith, you don't know?"

"As a princess, I haven't been in politics yet, and as a witch, I'm only good at making small props."

"..."

After hearing the second half of the explanation, I feel that I can't trust her enough.

I can't explain it myself.

"Better to meet a real person than to ask me?"

"A real person? You mean..."

"Seeing that you are in good spirits, how about accompanying me to meet Captain Brown?"

Lilith suggested so.

I'm really curious about the captain. It just so happens that I have the opportunity now, so it shouldn't be a problem to meet him.

"However, Captain Brown himself is a little bit unique, I hope you can accept it."

"no problem."

Because in my opinion, the nobles should be the most troublesome to communicate with. The captain of a ship probably does not belong to this category!

I was pulled by Lilith to change clothes.

I don't know when she will be ready.

The size is just right, it seems to have been custom-made recently, and the black and white dress fits very well. Since I changed my outfit, I can no longer use a hood to cover my face like before, but Lilith specially prepared a black top hat for me. After wearing it, I just need to be careful so that no one will notice.

Overall, it is not bad.

The only bad thing... maybe my height?

This becomes even more obvious when I walk side by side with Lilith. Even though the high courtesy pulls my height up, it can still be seen from the height of my shoulders that I am several centimeters shorter than Lilith. Adding Lilith Si's identity, as she walked through the hall, she kept looking over at her.

A little stiff.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not used to this atmosphere."

"Just go to the captain's cabin."

"Um."

I breathed a sigh of relief when I walked across the hall and into the hallway, no longer being watched. Adjust the dress and top hat a little, and follow Lilith to the door of the captain's cabin deep in the corridor. The one in the room should be Brown, the captain of the cruise ship. It is said that he was a warship before sailing the cruise ship, so he made such a thing as installing weapons on the cruise ship.

Thank goodness he did it.

I would like to ask him how he did this, but considering that it is the first time we meet, and the other party is considered a celebrity, giving a better first impression will make the subsequent communication more casual! I subconsciously patted my clothes, took a few deep breaths repeatedly, and mentally thought about how to communicate with a captain.

Lilith is much calmer than me.

It's as if she's used to this kind of thing, as expected of a princess.

"Boom boom boom."

There were three regular knocks on the door, and then Lilith withdrew her hand and took a step back.

"Is Captain Brown there? This is Lilith."

"Ah, Your Highness!? Come in, the door is unlocked."

There was... sound in the room? Wait! How is a female voice?

I was a little overwhelmed, and before I could confirm with Lilith, I was dragged into the room by her. Clean and tidy room, there are no other decorations except for the ship model on the bookshelf, the globe and the nautical chart on the wall; there is a desk in the back of the room, and there are papers, seals, ink and quills on it. Office supplies, and a hat that looks a bit luxurious. Sitting at the desk was a woman in uniform.

She is eating.

She is eating.

She is eating.

I must stress this three times because it is important!

Eh? Why is it necessary to emphasize three times for a single behavior? It’s just that it’s not so strange to eat. The woman’s posture when eating is also very elegant. Even if the food on the plate disappears quickly, she can’t feel that she is eating rudely. Perhaps this woman’s etiquette has probably become instinct.

but!

There really isn't much to stress about if you ignore the food.

It's because of those foods!

"I can understand pies, I can understand seafood pies, I can still understand seafood pies made with fresh fish! But what is this! What are these dense white balls! Be careful to kill some Suffering from a special disease that makes you feel uncomfortable when you see densely packed objects!"

"...Sorry, I made a mistake."

"Um."

"I should ask to have only one eyeball, and it should be a big one."

"Yeah... Hey! That's not what it means at all!"

What kind of taste is it that you like to eat such a wonderful dish!

And you admit it yourself! Those are eyeballs! Those are eyeballs! Even if it's the eyeballs of fish, I can't understand what kind of mentality you have to eat them!

"Oh, don't you know this dish?"

"……totally no idea."

Besides, I don't want to know.

"In the northeastern part of the mainland, there is a city called 'Beijin'. It is also called 'Fog City' because of the frequent fog. There is a very famous dish called 'Looking at the Sky Pie', which is what I am eating. This, the material is the eyeballs of Nihongyu, which looks scary, but tastes surprisingly good, probably because the most delicious part of Nihongyu is the eyeballs."

"That's it."

It always feels like she talked about several different places in silence?

"Cute little brother, do you want to have a bite?"

"No no no, I don't need it."

Although the party said that this is really a very stylish way of eating, I still can't accept it. The cake part is okay. Once I put on those "said to be delicious" fish eyes, I have a feeling of nausea. . This is probably the reason why I can't become a foodie!

On the way to find Lilith, Qiuqiuan used the slime's core. Later, I actually found food made of this material in the market, which made me unable to eat for a long time.

"Hey, that's a pity, Your Highness Lilith, do you want to have a taste?"

"Sorry, I'm not very hungry right now."

"It seems that I am the only one who can enjoy it."

The woman showed some regret on her face, but she didn't continue to eat. Instead, she put the food away in a box and motioned for Lilith and me to sit down.

"It's a pleasure to meet Your Highness. When I heard that Your Highness was going to Iceland, I expected that you would come to see me, but...can you introduce that lovely boy to me? Could it be Your Highness? lover?"

"Hey!? No, no, no, no, no, I, I, I..."

"Pfft! Don't be kidding me, Brown, I'm not old enough to choose a mate."

"Love can always be cultivated. There are very few boys with such pure love."

"I think it's just because Neil didn't react. After all, your topic jumping ability is as good as usual."

ah.

As if guessed.

But in fact there is another reason, which is a bit difficult to explain. It is better for me not to commit suicide.

"Neil...wait a minute, Your Highness, are you talking about the 'Neil Franks Noyes'? The current Brave One?"

Brown seemed surprised and turned to look at me.

"However, I remember that the rumored Mr. Brave should be an adult male, but the one in front of me...whether in terms of height or appearance, he looks like a somewhat rebellious person who has not grown up and is arguing for pocket money at home. child."

height.

appearance.

Haven't grown up yet.

At home clamoring for pocket money.

Somewhat rebellious.

child.

child.

child.

"..."

I feel like crying.

Still want to refute.

It's a pity that I can't refute it at all.

Because I was really short and childish, and not even old enough to leave the house and venture out on my own. In general, two-thirds of Brown's evaluation of me is something I can't dispute. As for the remaining third, I have a feeling of "if I defend myself, I really lose".

And I'm sure it's not an illusion.

"Ah, isn't it, what I said was a little too direct?"

"Probably because Neil doesn't like being treated like a child. In fact, he is indeed an adult. Like the previous brave man, he took his partner on an adventure at the age of 16."

In the middle of speaking, Lilith put a cup full of black tea in front of me. She was very familiar with this room, as if she had been here many times before.

"The only difference from the last one is probably that the environment is too different. At that time, after all, it was the 'Century of Destruction'. In that environment, it would be easier for a person to become famous."

"I see."

With the end of the topic, my somewhat rigid thinking slowly became active.

Thinking about it carefully, the problem that I have been struggling with since standing outside the door was almost forgotten because of a momentary complaint.

"Wait, wait a minute, are you the captain of the Grace?"

"Um?"

"So it's a woman?!"

"Ah, boy, if you care about this issue, you can treat me as a man to meet your special requirements, when you need me to be your partner."

"That's not it!"

"Didn't it be said that handsome boys are easy to bend?"

Brown turned his head to look at Lilith.

Lilith actually nodded with an unexpected look on her face.

"Yes, yes, I remember that the maids in the palace told me so, and warned me again and again that if the person I like in the future is a male with a cute style, I must ensure that he has contact with other male creatures."

"Oh, it's male creatures, not just humans?"

"There is a thing called people outside. In the open-minded Alexander Empire, no matter what kind of people you see, you must remain calm."

"Understood, taught."

so.

my thoughts.

Is it just ignored?

Obviously Lilith is usually more trustworthy than Emily and Qiuqiu, but once she meets these former acquaintances, her style develops in a very weird direction that I don't know? Or is this the real Lilith, a side of the princess I don't know about?

It's very different from imagination.

"Neil, why are you surprised that Brown is a woman?"

"It's not Lilith. You said that she used to be the captain of a battleship, so she subconsciously assumed the identity of a man, but if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with being a woman."

It might be better to say that as a female captain, if the necessary abilities are not weak, she can motivate the crew more than a male captain.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help turning my head away.

"Thank you very much for understanding, I honestly receive this bias a lot."

"Eh?"

"Even my family thinks that I should not be a captain, but stay at home and be a woman, but I just like the feeling of sailing on the sea!"

Brown stood up.

Whether it is posture or voice, they are extremely bold and contagious.

He couldn't help but trust her.

"Then, it's been a long time since I introduced myself."

Brown bypassed the desk, walked in front of me, and put on a military salute for a moment. Her crisp movements were completely different from her previous appearance of lying on a chair and eating.

"I'm Brown Garcia. I'm currently the captain of the Grace. It's the first time I meet you. Please give me your advice."

"Ahh! I, I am Neil, the brave Neil, please give me your advice."

Subconsciously want to imitate the etiquette of the other party, but it feels nondescript.

I really want to find a hole to drill in.

"Yeah, not bad. Your Highness, I have a proposal, can you give this boy to me?"

Eh?

"I'll see you off, but what position do you need Neil to take on?"

Eh?

"I'm missing a deputy, and I'm also missing a boyfriend."

Hey!

"Oh, Neil is not very old yet, he can develop into the type you want by slowly cultivating him."

Eh eh eh? !

"In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't need to be trained, you are still a brave man."

"I'm so sorry, I'm just a brave man! Why are your topics always so strange!"

Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted the conversation between the two of them.

Then he was slapped hard on the head by Brown.

"I thought you would just let it go by default."

"...Because it is very rude to interrupt someone's conversation, I am very sorry, Your Highness."

"Ah! Neil is a little angry, so let me leave first, and I will leave you here."

"Wait, wait! Lilith..."

"No problem at all, just leave it to me! Your Highness wishes you a good time."

"Then I'll take my leave first, Neil remembers to go back to his room before going to bed."

Lilith has already walked to the door of the room, I really don't know why she is so fast.

"Of course, if you're going to stay here for a night, I think Brown would be happy to."

Whether she will like it or not I don't know.

But I'm sure I'm not happy at all.

No matter how much you shouted, Lilith just ignored my eyes and left the room, closing the door behind her.

"Neil...isn't it!"

"yes."

I really don't want to complain about Brown's strange tone when he calls my name.

I can only respond in a very perfunctory way.

"Here! I'll leave this to you. Let's take a good look."

Brown let go of me and slammed a stack of newspapers into my arms.

I looked at her with some incomprehension.

"I really hope that you can be my deputy, but before that, I want to chat with you a little bit, is that okay?"

"……no problem."

Anyway, it's useless for me to say that there is a problem!

Feeling exhausted inside, I couldn't help but sigh.

Shaking the newspaper in his hand, he began to look at it from the first glance.

I still don't understand why Brown kept me here, and I don't understand that Lilith would agree to this matter. Although the person involved stated his purpose very bluntly, I always feel that the conversation between Lilith and Brown is not that simple. At least a large part of it was just kidding.

Probably, it is something that needs to be asked of the brave.

With that in mind, I moved my gaze to the largest headline on the first page of the newspaper.

"'The famous pirate group has successfully escaped from prison and is currently escaping in the North Sea. I hope that all captains will be more vigilant and reduce the possibility of contact with strange ships. Since they are not sure about the characteristics of the other ships, I hope that all captains try to avoid those floating on the ocean. Stray ship'... huh?"

I suddenly had a bad feeling.
