By the way, remember to take good care of my little treasure; if you want to talk, dial the village office's number.

Considering you’ve really been working hard lately, I’ll indulge you this once and let you go to Asakura Island to relax. Don't forget, every week, you must take the initiative to contact me at least once!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real purpose of his setting sail naturally couldn't be told to his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traveling thousands of miles to steal a hat from an eight-year-old brat—no one would believe it even if he told them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the reason was changed to being bored from staying at home for too long, wanting to go to Asakura Island to look around and play, and by the way, see the swordplay dojos there to see if there was a chance to learn a move or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facts proved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realistic lies are often built on the foundation of facts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the latter reason came out, it immediately succeeded in fooling Bell-mère.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heard of it when she was in the Marines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On that island, there are several famous swordplay dojos, and they jointly hold a grand kendo tournament every year; it is the best place to practice kendo in the nearby sea area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And according to her secret observation, Siano’s swordplay practice was indeed not very smooth, and there was a Marine branch stationed on Asakura Island, so the route was also very safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after much hesitation, she finally agreed to Siano’s somewhat excessive request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it, got it, I'm off! Remember to say goodbye to Nojiko and Nami for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only six o'clock in the morning, and it was not even five o'clock when he left; the two little ones were sleeping soundly, so Siano just pinched their faces and couldn't bear to wake them up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bell-mère helped him stuff the Den Den Mushi into his clothes pocket; the windmill on the shell immediately pushed the fabric into a funny bulge, which made Siano pat it with dissatisfaction. He waved to the two elders who came to see him off, turned around, and trotted toward the distant merchant ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salty sea breeze brushed past the boy's gradually blurring back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bell-mère sniffed, and the action of turning her head away was suspiciously fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Genzo saw her quietly stuffing several large-denomination banknotes into the boy's pocket along with the Den Den Mushi just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genzo waited for a while and asked puzzledly, \"Why are you being so sneaky about stuffing money? You put them in the same pocket; aren't you afraid the Den Den Mushi will eat them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bell-mère’s action of secretly wiping away tears froze instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah ah ah, you jerk, why didn't you say so earlier!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ponytail woman with red eyes turned her head back abruptly, looking devastated, and sprinted toward the end of the trestle, shouting as she ran:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Siano, wait! Don't get on the ship yet—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moonlight was a bit dim, and the sea was shrouded in night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the deck of the merchant ship, warm orange lights were lit, and a banquet with several makeshift tables and chairs was emitting happy heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ship was not small, with a total of twenty or thirty crew members, who were gathered together at this moment, with whistles and cheers when clinking beer mugs from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This banquet was naturally not held to welcome Siano; he was just a passenger hitching a ride and didn't have that qualification yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the reason... on this vast sea, does holding a banquet need a reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, kid, how is it, are you still dizzy and wanting to vomit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Captain Gatto came over smoking his pipe and put his arm around Siano’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine now, Captain Gatto.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano hurriedly swallowed the roast meat in his mouth to respond; he only had eight or nine empty plates piled up next to him, obviously eating in small bites in front of outsiders, very shy and restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of what Gatto mentioned, it was really a bit embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was his first time boarding a large ship for an ocean voyage, and he hadn't experienced this kind of thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday morning, when the merchant ship was just at full speed, bumping forward in the wind and waves, Siano was really lying on the railing, almost vomiting out his overnight meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several middle-aged uncles surrounded him, patting his back, preparing water, and handing towels, before he barely recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the training of the past few years was not in vain; the sturdy body also brought him adaptability beyond ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few hours, the seasickness symptoms gradually subsided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sleeping and arriving at the second day, he had completely returned to normal, no matter how much the ship swayed, he was still full of energy, no different from these old sailors who had been running ships for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa, your constitution is not bad; it seems your mother was really worrying too much, haha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gatto smiled and tapped his pipe, \"You're good material for a sailor in the future; how about it, when you grow up in a few years, do you want to come to our ship to help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there's a chance then, I'll definitely consider it.\" Siano laughed, knowing the other party was teasing him, and didn't refuse on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The uncles on this ship were all very kind to him, and he had a quite good impression of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Gatto.\" Siano asked curiously again, \"The ship has been sailing for more than forty hours; how long will it take to reach Asakura Island?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ocean currents and wind direction have been quite smooth this time, faster than expected.\" Gatto laughed, \"At most four days, if there are no problems later...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dull, loud noise suddenly broke the silent night, also interrupting Gatto’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What sound!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lively banquet was also interrupted instantly; almost everyone stood up with a start, looking around in suspicion for the source of the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It came from the stern!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gatto lived up to his experience, making a judgment at the first moment, and shouted in a deep voice, \"Don't panic! The helmsman and gunners take their positions, and send a few people to the stern to check!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Captain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd quickly separated and acted according to orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano also subconsciously touched the wooden sword at his waist—he didn't need to have this thing with him, but since he said he was going to learn swordplay, he had to act the part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The signing status has been changed, everyone can rest assured to invest; during the new book period, you have to queue for recommendations, so there can only be two updates a day, and there will be more updates after it goes on the shelves.
