Chapter 3 Epiosde 27
*Unedited*
Editor:
A sailing s.h.i.+p quietly anch.o.r.ed.
The s.h.i.+p was a fast s.h.i.+p which had three masts on it. Though right now all the sails were folded and the s.h.i.+p quietly waited for the captain's command.
It had an ordinary appearance. It was a western-style s.h.i.+p.
The total length of the s.h.i.+p was 30 meters. As a type, it was close to that of Galleon s.h.i.+p. It resembled the s.h.i.+ps that were being built frequently during the era of the great voyage.
The only difference between this world s.h.i.+p and the Earth s.h.i.+p was that this s.h.i.+p did not have any firearms such as cannons.
Perhaps, the existence of gunpowder was not common.
On the north side of the bay, within the gap of the forest, several sharp gazes were looking at the s.h.i.+p.
Black dyed clothes and mask covered their entire face, making them became one with the darkness.
The dwellers of darkness.
They were not afraid of anything, even the monsters within the forest.
Because they were the most dreadful monsters...
”Everyone, just like we had planned...”
After Sakuya signaled, the leaves of trees shook faintly
And the presence around Sakuya disappeared. Only the same type of humans can perceive their presence.
This time she had to bring people with good skill among her family.
The bait had been set. After that, it was just the matter of waiting for the prey to take the bait.
”Well now, where is your base, please show me as soon as possible...”
A cold smile appeared on Sakuya's face. It was the face of a hunter.

”You... Do you think we could believe such story?”
Ten men surrounded the two men inside a dim room filled with sea smell.
Every time the lamp gently swayed to the left and right the shadows wandered the room.
All of their appearance were that of sailors, with burned red and black skins due to the sun.
However, with the smell of blood diverging from their bodies, one can predict what kind of occupation they had.
Cold voice struck the two men who were kneeling.
”But... we really saw it. With our own eyes... Right?”
The men talked to the other men who were silent on his side.
”Yes, I also saw it clearly with my own eyes. There was a town, with unbelievable scale over there. No, That is not a town I guess. It was more like a city.”
Listening to those words, one man who surrounded them began to spook.
”Cih, stop playing around. You guys, then explain, how did they manage to build a city in less than two months? If you can explain it then we will consider your story!”
Toward those words, ridicule and approval rose from the surrounding.
No one believed the two men story.
”About that... We really saw it...”
However, the man who knew that their lives were on the line keep trying desperately.
If their story were judged as a lie, they would surely be ended up getting killed. And surely, they would be killed brutally and made it as a lesson for the others...
”Don't be stupid! You guys must be drunk or something!”
Someone shouted.
”We did not! We really saw it!”
”It was true... We did not have any liquor or drug with us... We only abide the captain's command.”
The people who shouted grew silent but their eyes were still cold.
”Be silent for a bit...”
It was a low voice.
The voice was small enough that people might miss it if it was a normal situation. But, the words of that man clearly entered the ears of everyone present inside the room.
Everyone's eyes were directed at the place where the man sat.
He had a solid body, with a reddish-brown beard. His eyes emanated cold-blooded aura.
Hidden by the silk s.h.i.+rt, sunburned skins can be seen.
He had the style of men of the sea.
His name is Henry. It was a man who was feared by many other pirates, the one who had the nickname the 'Shark'.
Originally, he was a fisherman from a small village in the Kingdom of Ernestgora. He was a criminal who had killed a n.o.bleman due to a tax dispute, and he escaped.
He was a man that will approach its prey like a shark, and eat them without saying anything.
”Captain...”
”W-We're...”
The two men turned their eyes toward Henry.
The two men lives depended on that man's mood.
”Well, fine then... It was hard on you guys huh... You guys can go an eat some meals...”
”Eh?”
Because his words were too unexpected, the man who blamed the two men the most leaked a stupid voice.
However, the man immediately blocked his mouth.

”Go.”
Ignoring the surrounding gaze, Henry ordered the two men to go by waving his hand. It was almost like he told a dog to leave...
”A-Aye. Pardon me for being rude...”
”Pardon my intrusion. Captain.”
