Episode 375
Kwajijijijik-!
Kwazizig-!
Santos smashes the cabin where we were loaded.
“Ugh…”
Fortunately, thanks to the styptic, no blood spilled, but my thighs still hurt terribly.
“hmm? “This guy…”
Santos looked at , then suddenly ca to his senses and shouted.
“Get on deck quickly!”
“Aaaah-!”
Sigh…
I feel like my stomach is turning.
I had worked at the dock at the dock, but I had never been on a ship before, so it was difficult for to keep my balance. No, even an experienced sailor would have a hard ti standing upright in the current situation.
“go! go! hurry! “My possessions!”
Santos and his crew shoved from behind.
It seed like the crew of this ship had already boarded his pirate ship while rescuing other people.
I also moved quickly so as not to fall behind.
But then.
Ujikkeun…
‘… Huh?’
Sinking accelerated.
Quirky…
‘Uh…?’
With the feeling that the world was turning upside down, my body rolled into a ball and rolled around.
Wow!
I barely managed to grab hold of the threshold.
Ujijijik…
“Oh my…”
Quang…
My body was sucked into the place where the water was rising. I felt like I had experienced all the misfortune that can be experienced in childhood.
‘You have to hold your breath.’
Water rising quickly.
First of all, I did what I could.
‘If I have to get out of here…’
The current was strong and the boat continued to sink.
No matter where you look, the chances of survival were close to zero.
Until soone shows up.
“Hahaha! Santos is coming!”
“you idiot! Co back!”
“Go first!”
“Damn…”
Soone’s warmth wrapping around my body.
But I already drank too much water.
I reached out my hand for warmth and hugged it.
‘I don’t want to die…’
I lost my mind.
“You don’t die.”
It was the last voice I heard before I lost consciousness.
* * *
When I woke up, the big ship was all gone. I was floating on a small board that I assud was the wreckage.
“… uh?”
“Are you awake?”
There was one more person on the board.
“…Santos?”
“You rember . “How do you know my na?”
“Since you shouted my na like that…”
“Hmm… I thought I was so famous that even a kid like you knew about it.”
Santos was just like a cloud.
No matter what I said, it ca back with a pleasant answer.
“After the storm, the sky and sea beco as calm as a lie. “Isn’t it amazing?”
“…are we going to die?”
Swish…
Santos rubbed my head.
“Why do you feel like you’re going to die? why?”
“Because this is on the sea and we are adrift without food.”
“You’re smart?”
“….”
“But you know what?”
Santos lay down on the board and looked at the sky and talked.
“You and I survived that stormy, sinking ship. “On that turbulent night.”
He was right.
We survived.
At a mont when all I could think of was the word death, his presence brought to life.
“It doesn’t make sense for us to die in this nice weather.”
“… So you won’t die?”
“of course.”
“Why is it natural….”
“What is natural is natural. “That itself is the reason.”
I still don’t know what Santos ans.
“Then why did you save ?”
“That too. “It’s natural.”
“… I don’t know what it ans.”
“ha ha ha! Don’t question the Sea Man’s actions! Santos just did the obvious thing. ah! “Don’t even be thankful.”
“okay.”
“… I think it’s okay to be grateful. … hmm?”
I felt like my head was spinning and I fainted.
“hey!”
This was because I was not in good physical condition.
The cause of the problem was not only the wound on my thigh, but also the fact that it had been a while since I had a proper al.
“Your body is a ball of fire.”
It was painful.
The end result, at best, is to die on a sea like this without anyone noticing.
Slosh…
slosh…
As night fell, the waves got a little stronger.
I suddenly opened my eyes.
“Ah, are you awake?”
Santos was pressed against my body. It was sharing warmth.
“Santos.”
“… what’s the matter.”
“My na is Kangseol.”
“… Oh, I didn’t even ask your na.”
“okay.”
“….”
“Don’t forget, don’t forget.”
He lifted my body up.
“Why did I go through so much trouble to say goodbye? Wasn’t it too much?”
“But…”
“Look over there, snowfall.”
The direction Santos pointed was the horizon.
The point I took was the light.
“… light?”
“It is a star called the Sea Man.”
I listened to Santos’ story while holding on to my faint spirit.
“This sea is my universe, that light is a star wandering in space.”
“….”
I lost consciousness.
And when I opened my eyes again…
“You idiot! found! Hey everyone, co here and look down there, because the greatest idiot in the sea is flirting down there.”
“Hahaha! “Captain, I expected sothing this ti too, but I did sothing stupid again!”
“What is that little boy next to ? “I think you’re hurt?”
“Where’s the rum? “If you put so in your mouth, it will get better.”
“Good luck if I don’t beco as simple as you… Lower the rope!”
Santos hugged and held on to the rope.
“This is….”
“Welco to my ship, Snowfall.”
I have set foot on a new star.
* * *
As a 12-year-old, I was having an unforgettable ti.
“port! Turn to port! “It’s crashing!”
“Rather bump into ! Damn snake head!”
There were tis when the sea man fought against huge sea beasts.
“Hahaha! “It’s plunder!”
“Aaaah!”
“If I rebel, will my pretty face get scratched?”
There was a ti when they targeted the ships of wealthy people and plundered them.
“Make this place shiny.”
“huh.”
I settled in well on the boat.
Before alti, I helped with the cooking, swept the deck, and learned a little carpentry.
“Now, shall we practice looting today to beco a great pirate?”
“good.”
I healed my heart to the point where the words “I like you” ca out of my mouth naturally.
The day Santos heard about my past, he cried.
“Ugh… so sad… How can soone endure such a thing at such a young age?”
“Shut up! Santos! “Let’s get so sleep!”
“Listen, this guy is…”
I was a little pirate.
The crew all accepted .
The past and the serious wounds I experienced easily broke down the bars of their hearts.
“But it’s really great that you saved your friend!”
“Is it great? why? Of course…”
What he said suddenly ca to mind.
An incident that I didn’t realize because it was sothing I had never thought deeply about.
– Natural things are natural. That itself is the reason.
“It was natural… it happened. “That’s…”
Now I think I understand why Yurim didn’t regret risking her life for her friend.
“Yes, that is natural. It’s difficult to take things for granted. But if you can do it…”
Santos grinned.
“You too are a man.”
“Man…”
I grew up on a boat.
Until I turned 15.
Santos was my captain, my teacher, and my father.
[Outspoken actions inspire courage.]
[Courage does not lead to actions, but actions lead to courage.]
[Enlightennt! Awakening new abilities.]
[Continuation: Awakening a man.]
One day, when my 15th birthday was just around the corner, I beca seriously ill.
“Off….”
“You don’t know the cause?”
“I think there’s a problem with the horsepower. This is sothing I can’t do anything about. “You have to go to a skilled wizard.”
“….”
Santos said goodbye to after I got up from my hospital bed and before the boat reached land.
“new year.”
“Don’t be like that… I don’t want to leave.”
“You have sothing different from others. “Sothing different from and those idiots over there.”
“Is that why I have to leave?”
“You idiot, if you stay here, you’ll die! “Piracy is sothing people like do, not people with a future like you!”
Santos was furious.
“Shouldn’t you try everything you can?”
“….”
“This is just a cage for you. You are a bird bigger than the cage. “You understand, right?”
“I…”
“I’m not getting ready to leave. I’m getting ready to fly.”
15th birthday.
I received a farewell gift from them.
They said goodbye after dropping off on land.
“snowfall! Even if you succeed, don’t forget! “Your origins are pirates!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! That’s sothing to be proud of. You can forget it! Sothing like us.”
“Stop talking while crying, idiot!”
I stopped and looked back at them.
They had their backs to the sunset.
“Can we et again soday?”
“….”
“….”
“Um….”
At a ti when everyone was silent, Santos shouted loudly.
“Even if it’s not here, the sea man wanders the universe! So…”
He smiled, showing all his teeth for .
Sigh…
“Of course you idiot!”
* * *
Ouch…
“Buweeeek….”
The body’s magic attack cycle beca shorter and shorter.
It was said that there was much more magical power sleeping in my body than others.
They said sothing would have to be done to stop the seizures, whether it was waking them up or getting rid of them.
‘My body… can’t hold on any longer…’
I went there after hearing news of a city where people wandering the continent were gathering.
Baluel.
It is the na of the city.
Sigh…
While walking around the city, I slled soone’s scent.
‘Scent? No, this is….’
It feels like soone’s trace imprinted on my soul.
I chased after the woman who showed such signs.
“I…”
“… who?”
Exotic appearance.
A huge greatsword carried on his back.
But I don’t know who it is.
“… no.”
“Ah… hmm…”
Maybe it’s a mistake.
If there was anything I gained from coming to Baluel, it was that a wizard who showed interest in my symptoms appeared.
“Pack your bags and we will go to the mountain cabin.”
He was confident he could fix my problem. I found out that he was a fairly famous wizard in the area. The reputation was also good.
To alleviate my symptoms, I followed him for now.
“Let’s say hello formally. “I am a snowman.”
“It’s snowing.”
Snowman.
‘…are you used to it?’
A sowhat familiar na.
He muttered as he checked the ti with a pocket watch in his hand.
‘… uh? That pocket watch…’
Not only the wizard’s na but also the pocket watch was familiar. The feeling of déjà vu ca all the ti, but there were days when it got worse.
Just like today.
“What you will do here is simple. Prepare your als so you can sit at the table at the scheduled ti, and clean up at the scheduled ti. And a certain amount of ti a day will be set aside for your studies. “If you spend the ti above faithfully, it won’t matter what you do with the rest of your ti.”
“Is there anything I should pay attention to?”
Snowman said.
“After observing your level, we will allow you to enter the lab. “Before that, don’t even go there.”
“All right.”
“And I eat a lot, so prepare plenty.”
“yes.”
If you don’t tell them not to do sothing, it’s okay.
Just do what you’re told and that’s it.
As the master of twisted positivity, I plan to keep it.
The days at the mountain cabin began.
“It’s al ti.”
“okay.”
…
“It’s al ti.”
“ah.”
There were no seizures while staying at the lodge.
They said that the magic I possessed stayed inside and made my body sick.
He said that if I learn the appropriate magic and take appropriate asures, my physical condition will soon return to normal.
I thought it was fortunate that I chose Snowman.
I really felt it painfully.
He did not interfere with except at designated tis.
However, he paid close attention to my studies.
“Your magical power does not show aptitude for just one thing. “There are as many as four.”
“Four things….”
“I have a blessed body. “They are darkness, light, storm, and blood. They have completely different properties, but for so reason, they are seething in your body.”
I didn’t know why, but when I said yes, I just nodded.
“There are so similar attributes to the attributes I have learned, so please follow my teachings carefully.”
“yes.”
Ti passed again at the mansion.
