Chapter 65

~4 min read 609 words

"Mmm... the orange is so sweet! Master Zhongli... you should hurry and have a taste..."

Watching the fruit being tossed toward them.

Master Zhongli caught it, tasted it, and nodded, saying: "The flavor is quite good; it is a top-grade orange..."

"My lord, let me pilot the ship."

Seeing that the master's friends had already arrived, Kaedehara Kazuha volunteered to take the helm.

He had drifted through Inazuma for many years.

He was no stranger to sailing.

Because Inazuma is composed of many islands, one must learn to pilot a ship to go on adventures elsewhere.

Su Han shook his head upon hearing this and said: "No need, this ship can sail itself..."

"Sail itself?"

Kaedehara Kazuha was bewildered; what did that mean?

Could this ship really steer itself?

Just as he was puzzled, he saw the master speak toward the bow of the ship: "Merry, set sail..."

"Yes, Master Su Han..."

An ethereal voice.

Extremely pleasant to the ear.

The sails on the Going Merry lowered directly; even though there was no one at the helm, the ship set sail.

Hu Tao, sitting by the orange tree, exclaimed in surprise: "What is going on? Su Han... your ship, it can actually move on its own!!!"

Master Zhongli looked at the bow of the ship, a knowing smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

A ship spirit?

How truly interesting.

Others could not see it, but in Master Zhongli's eyes.

At the bow of the ship, there was a shadow invisible to ordinary people, manipulating the helm.

"Impressive, right? My ship, the Going Merry, possesses a ship spirit; it can control the ship's navigation itself... Merry, sail around the coastline."

"Yes, Master..."

The bow turned, and it sailed along the coastline toward Yaoguang Shoal.

Hu Tao jumped down from the tree.

She arrived at the helm and kept circling around it.

Merry, who was currently steering the ship, felt her scalp tingle.

What was wrong with this friend of the master?

Why did she keep circling around her?

Could it be that she could see her?

Soon, Merry's question was answered.

"Hey... I can see you, you know..."

"!!!"

Merry was startled by Hu Tao suddenly getting in her face, and the whole ship almost veered off course.

Watching the ship spirit she had startled.

Hu Tao laughed until tears streamed down her face.

"Hahahaha... don't be so scared, my name is Hu Tao... I am the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, and my daily work is sending off souls and such.

So I can see your existence.

However, Merry... can you reveal your true body?

It's so uncomfortable looking at you like this."

From her perspective.

Merry was wrapped in mist from head to toe.

Her features were completely invisible.

But judging by the name, she seemed to be a female.

Merry, while piloting the Going Merry forward, turned her head to seek help from her master.

Su Han smiled faintly and said: "You can reveal your form, it's fine Merry... Hu Tao is my friend."

"Yes, Master."

Merry nodded slowly.

Then, a ripple appeared in the air.

A blonde girl wearing a white dress appeared before everyone.

Su Han looked at Merry's face and discovered that she was eighty percent similar to Kaya.

It was just that this Kaya was a little bit smaller in stature.

"I couldn't tell, but you're quite pretty. When the ship reaches our destination in a while, how about we go down and play together?"

"I... I cannot leave the ship too far."

Merry seemed unable to handle Hu Tao's enthusiasm.

She kept casting looks of distress toward Su Han.
