Chapter 13 - Foreboding News On the veranda of a cafe facing the avenue, Sakuya and I sat across from each other. Her maid outfit would sometimes attract curious glances, but Sakuya paid them no mind, her posture straight and proper. A cheerful waitress soon came to take our order and then laid fruit juice topped with lemon slices in front of us. “Sorry you had to come all the way here, Sakuya.” “Not a problem, my Lord. I am sure you have had a more difficult time.” Sakuya patiently waited…

Chapter 14 - A Suspicious Fortune Teller I walked towards Sue, still heartily playing around the street market. “Hey, having a good time?” “Mwuashter! Dhish ish dhelishas!” “Yeah…chew well, swallow, then talk, okay?” Sue trotted towards me, all smiles and a mouth full of corn. Her golden eyes were sparkling with joy, just like a small child visiting a town festival for the first time. “You got sauce on your face.” “Nnh…ah, thank you sho much!” I wiped Sue’s mouth with my…

Chapter 7 - Monsters Dwell on the Ship “...I’m not familiar with this ceiling…or this woman.” I woke up and tried to wrap my drowsy head around the current situation. A stained wooden ceiling. A wobbling floor. The sound of waves and cries of seagulls in the distance. The bluish/black-haired girl beside me was sleeping peacefully. I did know who she was — she was the girl I had taken as my slave the day before. “A ship…right, yesterday I fell asleep like that…” I was in the ship we had…

Chapter 8 - The Ship’s Destination I brought clothes and a simple meal for Sue, then went out to the deck. The sea breeze cooled off the heat from my body. The seabirds were crying overhead: we were approaching land. “You sure had fun last night, fool of a son!” “...you were on this ship, shitty hag?” As soon as I stepped on deck, my mother — sitting on the ship’s bow — called out to me. The ship I was on, formerly owned by the Snakebone pirates, was following the lead of the White…

Chapter 9 - Homeland Scenery The settlement on Alexandrite island looked like a small fishing village at first glance. There was a small harbor on the seaside, where fishermen burned by the sun went back and forth on their boats. Our two pirate ships were anchored at the harbor. Grace and the rest of the White Demon pirates got down the ship and headed for the settlement. “Welcome back, captain.” “Good work out there, sister.” “I’m back, folks! Thanks for holding up the fort!” Grace walked…

Chapter 10 - A Mystical Slave After humoring Sue’s exploration of the ruins for a while, I headed to the building the White Demons used as headquarters. There was a grand total of about 20 buildings inside the ruins, which housed over 5,000 people. Rather than just a pirate crew, it could be said that they were a city-state by now. Before I was born, the White Demons apparently sustained themselves via small-scale raids and pillaging, but after obtaining a large fortune in a certain event, they…

Chapter 11 - A Slave’s Feelings 【POV: Sue】 My name is Sue. At present, I am a slave in the service of my master Lord Dyngir. To be honest, however, I am not completely sure of the circumstances that led me to become his slave. I was born into a wealthy family — but I have no recollection anymore of what kind of family it was, what kind of business it was involved in…I cannot even remember its name anymore. Ever since I was a child, for some reason, I was able to speak with birds and…

Chapter 12 - A Foreign Port and a Maid Outfit The port town of Brutos was the entrance of the Sapphire Kingdom. A town burned by harsh sunlight, where the sea winds carried the suffocating smell of the tides. Brutos was a melting pot of people from all over the world, where trade ships came and went without pause. But the port town was not populated only by merchants and sailors. The local taverns and food stalls also sent their crew to hunt down potential customers. I stood on the edge of the ship,…
