Chapter 162: Journey
“Cckkkk——.”
“Uhm, Your Majesty, you look pleased, don’t you?”
Ha-ri tilted her head at Leon, who was looking quite pleased.
“Because he reminded me of an old friend.”
“An old friend of yours–Sir Antoine?”
“You have met him, too.”
“Yes, well–they are all honorable men.”
Leon shook his head in denial, though it felt good to say it.
“I met your brother, too.”
Leon’s mind wandered down memory lane, and he remembered a day not too far away.
His old friend, the one he’d never get to see ascend, the one he’d been forced to perform a rite of passage in a re-creation of the past.
Jordic Bertum’s second son, a member of the Knights of the Riona Sunset and a servant of dreams and death.
Jerea the Clueless, also known as Jerea the Twilight.
“Surprisingly, you’re pretty scrawny.”
[I don’t need your approval for my challenge]
The conversation with Koo Dae-Sung reminded Leon of him.
His incompetence, his uprightness—even his stupidity.
“But, don’t you know, it’s the stupid who shake up the world.”
“Is that so?”
Ha-ri knew that Leon might be an eccentric man, but he was never wrong.
“Well, since it is your Majesty who speaks, I suppose so.”
“Your tongue is sharp, and you have learned the ways of a loyal servant.”
“Am I a loyalist?”
“You shouldn’t be.”
“——.”
“——.”
“Just for a moment.”
“No.”
“——.”
Ha-ri looked down at Leon wordlessly, but he wasn’t even looking at her.
“I’m sorry, not once, but a second time is too much!”
You’re putting me on the podium again!
Ha-ri was on top, and Leon was on the bottom.
It was a reversed hierarchy, but she liked the symbolic meaning.
Ha-ri sobbed on the bow of a giant ferry on the rolling sea.
She is the goddess of the sea and the waves, and she is currently sacrificing herself because of a custom that says it is unclean to have a woman on board.
“Is this the sacrifice to the Poma I heard about?”
” Beatrice.”
Beatrice stared in disbelief at Ha-ri hanging from the pole.
“Is this really what you’re going to do?”
“Hehe, Beatrice.”
Leon said, glancing at the not inconsiderable number of women aboard the massive luxury liner.
“By nature, when there are women on board, uncleanness burns. However, the god Poma has mercifully granted a woman’s sacrifice to ward off uncleanness.”
“But the code. Isn’t it possible to substitute an object for a woman?”
“Yes. ——.”
Beatrice’s words left Leon speechless. There was indeed such a code.
There was a code on the ship that prohibited the use of statues of women as offerings.
“There are a lot of women on this ship,” he said, “and they’re not exactly the brightest——.”
“Well, we’re traveling, and it would be a shame to leave them hanging there. I’ll use my magic to make a statue of a woman to replace them.”
Beatrice repeated, and Leon agreed, as if he had no choice. So Ha-ri was able to climb down from the pinnacle just over three hours after the ship left.
“Wow, freedom!”
Ha-ri is more excited about the fact that she won’t be hanging on to the dock for a week until she reaches his destination than she is about the treatment.
“I’m going to change into my swimsuit!”
Leon shrugged and headed back with Beatrice.
“Your Majesty, this way!”
Leading the two of them through the gates was the Lord of the Hanbit Palace, Park Yong-shin, who greeted them with an extremely polite demeanor.
“Welcome aboard the Hanbit. How do you like it? Is there any inconvenience?”
“Well, it’s not bad, but it’s a bit too decorated. It’s the vanity of a thunder-rich man.”
“Alas— I can only apologize for offending your noble Majesty’s aesthetic.”
Park Yong-shin’s expression was one of sincere apology, not flattery, and he gestured to the Hanbit Palace followers to guide the two.
“I have the Royal Suite waiting for you, please make yourselves at home on the way to the ‘Republic of Taiwan’.”
* * * *
Leon’s sudden decision to set sail for the Taiwan Republic was due to a conjecture Beatrice had made.
“The place where the Demon Archduke lurks?”
“Yes, the Demon Archduke of Pleasure and Decadence, Quay, he is on Earth.”
The source was an Earth newspaper, scandals in the Republic of Taiwan and recent events in Taiwan.
Ha-ri’s dive had swept her off her feet, and she was barely holding on to the balcony.
-Come on, organism.
“Hey, Lord Yappy!”
Ha-ri gasped, rushing to Yappy’s rescue and she barely managed to catch him.
“Hey, are you okay?”
-No.
Yappy slapped Ha-ri on the cheek with his mechanical leg. The slap hurt.
“Hmph, that hurts.”
-Stupid organism. Where did all the nutrients go?
“Hing— ah, it hurts!”
Ha-ri felt like she had no cheeks left after taking slap after slap from Yappy.
“It hurts?!”
-Yuck!
Ha-ri can’t take it anymore and pulls Yappy into a tight hug.
Yappy struggled in her swollen, tight embrace, but he couldn’t escape Ha-ri’s vicious grip.
-Let go of me!
“If I let go, you’ll keep hitting me!”
Ha-ri is an S-class Hunter, a hunter of the caliber of a Knight Templar in terms of physical prowess alone and although Yappy’s total combat power surpasses Ha-ri’s, but that’s only in full battle mode.
That is, when equipped with a war platform.
Today’s Yappy is a hundredth the size of its predecessor and the power limitations of its size were far from enough to overcome the viciousness of an S-class Hunter.
-Let go. Warned.
The Yappy warned, unable to escape by force but Ha-ri, who was losing her strength due to Yappy’s warning, never let go.
Looking at the two of them, Jae-hyuk inadvertently spilled his true feelings.
“I envy Lord Yappy.”
“She’s my sister.”
Boom!
The punishment was unrelenting.
Eventually, after much negotiation, Ha-ri puts Yappy on the tube.
Ha-ri quickly changed the subject and fiddled with his swimsuit.
“By the way, this swimsuit was purchased by Lord Yappy, wasn’t it? It was delivered to my room.”
-Perfectly derived by math and big data.
“Really? When did they get my size?”
-Hacked.
“????”
-Easy.
“????”
He confessed to something very criminal and it would be like opening Pandora’s Box to find out how much criminal activity is going on behind the scenes.
-According to the machine’s observation and calculation before the database, it should be an easy matter.
“Ahhh~”
-Han Ha-ri. She usually prefers short pants that expose her abdomen and armpits, presumably due to active sweat glands.
“Now, wait——.
-Outside of work clothes, prefers hot pants, skinny jeans, and see-throughs. Even pajamas show a similar trend. An ape who doesn’t think much of nudity.
“What do you mean, an ape?”
-Kim Jae-hyuk prefers ripped pants that don’t make sense. Presumed to be a product of a distorted childhood. Post-traumatic stress disorder caused by traumatic memories──
“No, this is fashion!”
-Han Soo-ho purchased most of his clothes at the Dongdaemun pottery market, based on card payment patterns. Unable to let go of the beggar mentality of his orphanhood despite his wealth.
“You, you’re so—!”
This mechanical robot had a strange interpretation of a sinful subject to the point of uselessness!
-Chun So-yeon.
“——.”
Yappy’s gaze turned to Chun So-yeon. Staring at her top, a two-piece swimsuit with frills on the chest──
-Tending to be a male of the Gunnham family.
“????”
“”???””
It was an analysis that made even Leon tilt his head in disbelief.
“Gunnham? Is it a new species?”
-The tendency of males of the Gunnham’s bird family to exaggerate their chests to attract females. I almost bought a swimsuit based on this misleading information.
“”————.””
—.
“You—!”
Chen So-yeon’s face turned bright red as she searched for something. Covering her chest, she picked up the skewer that Soo-ho had been grilling meat on just a moment ago and pointed it like a sword in anger.
“Shut that mouth, you stupid robot!”
-Correction. The main body is correct, the exact facts──
The pool goes wild as Chun So-yeon lunges at Yappy with a skewer, and Yappy makes a run for it, using his steel wires like Spider-Man in a superhero movie.
In the midst of the chaos, Ha-ri wisely slips away and looks for someone who isn’t there.
“Where’s the queen?”
Beatrice, who was supposed to be sharing the same floor, was nowhere in sight.
