Orphan Adventure in the Blue Sea
Chapter 41 The Warning of the Gods

After getting the history books, the three of them along with Lars headed for the cabin where Giselle was waiting.

“Goodnight, Giselle,” says Lars.

"Mr Lars!! What about the book?"

“That's it, Gisele!!” Johannes said. Show me the book. This is a pretty heavy book.

　The four of them searched the pages of the past king of the Garef Empire.

　Then came the coded answer. It took me a while to figure it out, but

I found that `Yenisei \= 25'', `Morven \= 38'', `Texarkana \= 15'', and `Thames \= 50''.

From there, if you see the character string ①, ②, and ③...

“Mo-k-zu-ka..” says Arthur.

“Mokuzu?” ask Johannes. “Is it the algae remnants of the sea mokuzu?”

"..." - ".Lars looks a little serious.

“Is this a warning from the gods to us?”

“Brother, there is a possibility.”

“Thinking..!” said Gisele.

　At that moment, the cabin door that had been slightly open, slowly opened. It's Natasha in her nightgown.

`On the side is a bit noisy.'' he said as he rubbed his eyes sleepily.

"Natasha! I'm sorry I woke you up." said Lars.

“What happened, brother?”

"Oh, that's an unpleasant message! But I don't think you should worry about it. This ship is famous for its sturdy construction, and we are led by wind spirit users, so this is the perfect ship. I don't mean to disrespect the missing chain, but it's a ship that won't move even in the middle of a storm?"

“But Natasha...” says Lars.

“However, we have to worry about the crew we hired and the cargo, so we cannot cancel the trip...”.

`My brother, are you a little scared?'' ask Natasha.

"Well." said Arthur.

`We will not leave the ship, Lars, Arthur!'' Johannes said.

`There is a witch on this ship, and most importantly, from the message of `meeting'' and ``ke the sea'' said by the lost chain, we will follow you! After all, once we get off this ship, we have no choice but to return to Astlan and live our old lives! It is not a boring life, but it is not a rich life either. If anything happens to me, Gisele-tan will get lost, and she has a high-risk work life. Should I return to Astlan or continue my journey? We chose the last one! ”

but, Brother, I'm a little scared and I don't like it...'' Gisele started, but then stopped talking. It was true, once they got off this ship, the two had no choice but to return to Astlan together.

"Maybe Natasha was right" Lars said.

"It's not a good idea to worry too much. Why, we should take stricter measures against the storm. If we do that, the message will disappear by itself."

　Gisele pressed the button again and no more messages appeared. It's the same as before. Once cancelled, it won't come out again.

"Look, he's not coming out anymore. I think that means we have to be careful of this storm" Natasha said.

"..." said Johannes with a complicated expression on his face. Saying the truth will only make everyone more anxious. It would be troublesome if the two brothers were forced to get off the ship as troublemakers.

"All right, everyone, we're leaving tomorrow, so let's go back to our cabin and sleep. We'll be careful in the storm. I promise you that" Lars said.

"Yes, my brother," said Arthur.

"Good night. Whoa," said Natasha.

　After seeing the three of them leave one by one, Johannes lit a candle in the room, leaving the two brothers alone.
