Umi to Kaze no Oukoku

"It's been 17 days since I sailed Chennai, and I can't believe the Kadfel hasn't arrived in Surizan..."

Wonder and Version, who also refer to Captain Lessa as God, have been packing in the harbor all morning to hear about the Cadfell on the ships entering the harbor. Worried by both Shaw and Ambassador Reben, when they finish the morning negotiations, they join Wonder and Version at the harbor.

"What do you say? Any word on the Cadfell?

Wonder shook his neck to the side, but cautions harshly that the version will be half crying.

"Version Cadet! Believe in Captain Lessa."

I salute the version when I realize I'm ha-ha and weak, and I'm sorry. Shaw also believed in Captain Lessa's excellence, but I can see that something went wrong.

"Is that it? Kind of less ships? Even if we sailed, we were just entering the port..."

To Shaw's words, Wonder, who was all concerned about the news of the Cadofel, realizes that it is only the merchant ships of his own country that are staying at Ikari, but also the merchant fleet with escorts.

"There are no merchant ships in the Kingdom of Iran! The next day we arrived in Salizan, there were also a few merchant ships in the Kingdom of Iran...... ships carrying wheat and wine have not entered the port! Ambassador Raben, have you had any movement in the embassy of the Kingdom of Iran? There's something wrong with the Algiers Sea."

"No, I don't think the embassy of the Kingdom of Iran has any movement so far either... but Ambassador Bentley will soon notice that his country's merchant ships will not enter the port"

Every day, we noticed ourselves watching the harbor waiting for the arrival of the Cadfell, but Shaw and the others looked at each other saying that the Kingdom of Iran would also be suspicious. He would send a dragon knight with the embassy of the Kingdom of Iran to investigate, but frowned that the investigation on the sea was difficult.

Before embarking on the voyage of Shaw and the East Route, Wonder, who was patrolling the Arzier Sea, would not put it in his mouth because the Principality of Malta considered it suspicious but unfounded.

"I'm not in the merchant fleet. Is my country's merchant ship safe? Merchant ships that sailed Mailing and Laguna at the same time to see if there are any ships that have not entered the port!

By order of Shaw, he went around asking the merchant ships of the southeastern islands where he was staying if they had not arrived on the merchant ships that had sailed at the same time, but he was able to confirm that his country's merchant ships, which had taken the route to Sullizan, were safe.

"Mailing and, from Laguna, Salizan has regular flights, so it sounds like our country is sailing in a merchant fleet. Apparently, several of the merchant ships in the Kingdom of Iran sailing individually are missing. Ambassador Bentley is turning blue by now. No, you must be bright red with anger. I can't say for sure, but Lord Jalis of the Principality of Malta stinks of puffiness. He seems to be cautious enough to target only merchant ships in the Kingdom of Iran without a terrible navy or escort."

No one blamed Ambassador Reben for giving the name of Lord Jalis of the Principality of Malta, while saying that he could not be certain. Because everyone was thinking the same thing.

Shaw had been angry with the Duchy of Malta for a long time as a pirate aside, but he couldn't even attack badly because it was a hostage exchange place. Besides, the Principality of Malta was in an excellent position to say the essence of the Arzier Sea, and was one of the reasons to refrain from attacks when storms hit it, as a repository for water and food, and as a suspicious but southeastern archipelago.

"But does that have anything to do with the delay on the Cadfell? At the port of call to the Kingdom of Surah, did you get any other directives?

Shaw said the Cadofel was not under orders to crusade pirates, but Ambassador Raben denies that there will be any reports in this direction as well.

"The Cadfell is under a directive to bring Prince Shaw to Jungfrau and to the Kingdom of Laurent. I won't take any other directives. A pirate crusade will give orders to warships patrolling the Arzier Sea."

Wonder also agrees with Ambassador Raben's way of thinking.

"Then why is the Cadfell... Wonder! Version! Isn't that the Cadfell?

Wonder confirms the small shadow seen offshore with a telescope.

"It's the Cadfell! Prince Shaw, please take me to the Cadfell!

Ambassador Raben stopped hopping up and rejoicing Wonder and Version like he had reunited his beloved lover to enter the port after a short while, but Shaw also wants to see Captain Lessa and flies off with Sands.

"Captain Lessa! You're safe!

Sands descends on the Cadfell, which was sailing for Salizan. No, Prince Shaw, Wonder, and Version jump onto the deck. Captain Lessa scolds Bishi when Wonder and Version are frightened that a lost puppy has finally toured his parent dog.

"Prince Shaw? What is it, sir? Wonder! Version! Always behave calmly as a samurai!

Thunder falls from his deputy, Captain Clayshaw, both scolded by Captain Lessa, giving a pissy salute, but also by the way he just shakes it off if he has a tail.

"Did you guys eat anything weird? Shan!

Captain Clayshaw's yelling is also the two of us who now sound like sweet arias. Shaw was worried because the Cadfell was four days late, explains Captain Lessa and Captain Clayshaw.

"I'm sorry for your concern. We encountered a storm while sailing east through the northern part of the Golce continent, and we were spending time in the harbor. It was later late because he was rescuing a stormy merchant fleet between the northern and Golce continents. Wonder! Version! I'm sure you'll be able to predict this much."

You can't believe your own ship! And, yelled at, Wonder and Version quietly.

"Captain Lessa, please don't scold the two of us. It's kind of like there's a problem in the Arzier Sea. So I was overwhelmed by the late arrival of the Cadfell."

When he hears there is a problem in the Arzier Sea, Captain Lessa brings the Princes of Shaw into the captain's office.

"What is happening?

Captain Lessa, who was patrolling the Arzier Sea before this assignment, asks with a serious face.

"I'm still guessing that a merchant ship in the Kingdom of Iran has not arrived in Surizan. Our country also has many regular merchant fleet flights and frigates, so we are able to make sure that we are safe at this time, but we have not been able to confirm the Kingdom of Cazaria or even the ships headed north of the Golce continent."

Captain Lessa is a martial officer, so he didn't say anything extra, but he thought the Principality of Malta was suspicious of such a soothing manner.

"The Kingdom of Iran will not shut up."

Captain Lessa thinks there is no way the navy of the Kingdom of Iran can remain silent after being made so cocky.

"The navy of the kingdom of ilbania..."

Captain Lessa replies with a bitter smile that Shaw stopped speaking on his way because he would be rude.

"I own a better ship than the Kingdom of Cazaria."

Captain Lessa goes without saying that the Dragon Knights are picky, but the Navy suggests that there is a shortage of talent commensurate with the ship.

"Well, the Kingdom of Iran is an agricultural kingdom. Besides, I was hostile to the Kingdom of Laurent until a few years ago, and I put all my efforts into border security."

Shaw wonders if the Dragon Knights and Army alone ran out of budget and talent and didn't make it to the Navy, as they had also built the Great Wall of Baroa on the border with the Kingdom of Laurent.

"But if Princess Ariena is daughter-in-law of the Kingdom of Laurent into a friendly relationship, she will be able to turn the budget she was hanging on the border guard to the Navy. Do something stupid like point to a lack of naval power at a time like this!

Shaw was sympathetic and angry with the victims of the pirate attacks, but at the same time, as a ruthless exchanger, he's in the mood to beat Lord Jalis to death, wondering if he would create an incentive to strengthen the navy in the Kingdom of Iran.

"You can't beat the navy of the Kingdom of Iran or anything like that. More than that, I'm worried it won't be the second fry in the Kingdom of Cazaria, or that's it. Aren't you going to sign up for pirate crusades in our country? I'm angry at the Duchy of Malta's whistle, but it's awkward to turn that supply base against the enemy. Besides, I'm sorry for the proxy war in the kingdom of Iran."

The pirates stationed in the Principality of Malta did not attack the merchant ships of the southeastern islands of the sea champions, presumably because they were accompanied by frigates, but I suspect Lord Jarrice instructed them to remove patrols of the surrounding seas in order to avoid a total war.

Over the past few years, warships from the Southeast Islands have been waiting to catch pirate ships fleeing into the Principality of Malta, so Lord Jalis, who can no longer squeeze out the taste of pirates as an aside, thought of a soothing maneuver that merchant ships from other countries would be good. Everyone sighs at Lord Jalis, this greedy little man, wondering what's going on.

It was the Cadofer, which safely lodged in Sullisan within doing so, but the dragon knights and ambassadors Bentley were talking to Ambassador Reben at the harbour when the Kingdom of Iran realized that its own merchant ship had not entered the harbour.

"It kind of sounds like a bad vibe. I want to go through and get to the embassy, but I can't go with Ambassador Rebben... Oh, Wonder and the version came to the port by boat, right? Will you take Ambassador Raben home?

Captain Lessa feels the same way about Shaw trying to escape if he doesn't want to approach Ambassador Bentley, who is usually a diplomat who doesn't put his emotions on the table, but he does.

"You realize Prince Shaw over there, but if you ignore him, it'll be a hassle later. But please don't let the pirate crusade take a word for it. Our country will not attack ships berthed in the port of the Principality of Malta. Pirates also don't get their hands on merchant ships that are moored in the harbor. Because we use the Principality of Malta as a supply base because we only crusade pirates until they escape into the harbour."

Within a certain distance of the Principality of Malta, Captain Lesa stabbed him in the nail, saying he could not change the implicit understanding that he would neither pirate nor crusade the Navy, but Shaw feels it is time to review his relationship with Lord Jarrice.

Ambassadors Bentley greeted Captain Shaw and Lessa, who stepped down near Ambassador Reben at Sands in the harbor, desperately suppressing his emotions, but with a blue muscle standing on his forehead with anger, Shaw grows back as he greets him.

"Prince Shaw, I've just heard a lot from Ambassador Bentley. It looks like a few merchant ships in the Kingdom of Iran have not arrived in Salizan. Our merchant ships need to be investigated, too. So, Ambassador Bentley, I'm going to look into this, too. Prince Shaw, please take Captain Lessa to the embassy, because you will be tired on a long journey. I'll stay, investigate in the harbor, and then I'll go home."

With that said, Ambassador Raben paid tribute to Ambassador Bentley and headed to investigate his country's merchant ship.

Shaw is impressed by the way Ambassador Rebben acted when he asked them to move up to the embassy so they wouldn't say anything bad about it. Even Shaw acted so well that Ambassador Raben heard from Ambassador Bentley for the first time that he was surprised to think he was worried about his country's merchant ship.

While Ambassador Reben pretended to be investigating his country's merchant ship in front of Ambassador Bentley, Wonder and the version at the embassy who reported to Captain Lessa on the trans-Golce continent became sweaty wings after being questioned about the Pips by root dusting leaves.

Captain Lessa wanted to think about all the possibilities before making sure Pipps had his own eyes and that it was okay to put him on Prince Shaw's side. And looking in person, Captain Lessa, who has raised a large number of his men for years, is convinced that there are no lies in Pips' story.

"Mr. Pipps, to be at Prince Shaw's side, martial arts are not only necessary, but also diplomatic knowledge. If you don't study hard, you'll end up in Prince Shaw's footsteps. If you're not ready for that, I can't leave you with Prince Shaw."

Pips was overwhelmed by Captain Lessa's power in the war, but his determination to devote his life to Prince Shaw, who saved his life, remains unchanged.

"When I was in the village of Gorza, I didn't know Master Shaw was a prince. But it doesn't change my mind. I'll do my best to help Prince Shaw save my life when I don't have any brother-in-law."

Ever since I arrived in Salizan, Pips realizes that I have to study desperately, just to see Prince Shaw busily on his way to negotiating with Ambassador Raben day after day, feeling itchy about himself for nothing.

"There will come instructions from Reite about your treatment within it. Until then, encourage martial arts and study while taking care of yourself at Prince Shaw's side. On the Cadfell, you should train martial arts with the cadets."

Captain Lessa, who received a report of a transcontinental Golce, gave his thoughts to the stinking Arzier Sea.

"Prince Shaw, Captain Lessa, it's going to be a big deal."

Ambassador Reben returned to the embassy by reporting to Ambassador Bentley the safety of his country's merchant ship and the name of the missing merchant ship in the Kingdom of Iran.

"Ambassador Raben, did Ambassador Bentley of the Kingdom of Iran say anything to you?

Ambassador Raben actually searched all merchant ships in front of Ambassador Bentley for names that had not arrived on merchant ships in the Kingdom of Iran that had sailed at the same time.

"Now, just looking into it, four ships have been attacked. I wish they would just take the load and the ship and free the crew for ransom...... when I told Ambassador Bentley the names of the four missing ships, they looked at me as if I had let them attack me. Well, at first, he thanked me for the investigation, but that's going to push something in this direction."

Pirates near the Principality of Malta only took the lives of the opponents they resisted during the raids to a minimum, often holding them hostage and taking ransom. The Principality of Malta had provided a place for that exchange, but Ambassador Raben thought it was also possible that he had killed everyone trying to end the raid quickly because warships in the South-East Islands were interrupting piracy.

"This matter is going to pull off later. The Principality of Malta and the Kingdom of Iran are going to be stuffy. We have to be careful not to get involved."

Shaw, who is going to head to the kingdom of Iran, is going to be heavy with no mood.
