Chapter 158 (1/2)

158. Mitsuha's Scheme

(Narator's POV)

”What!? Eras was discovered and all of its crew members were rescued!?” (King of Vanel)

”Sir! During the storm, several people who tried to protect the sail were lost and is still missing, but all others were rescued” (the Reporter)

”Is that so… Be sure to arrange the unpaid salaries and exemptions for the missing crew's family member. If anyone cuts it out along the way, be sure to give a severe punishment” (King of Vanel)

”As you wish!” (the Reporter)

The King of Vanel listened to the report from his subordinate with bright expression.

Hundreds of crew members of the ship, which seemed almost hopeless, were saved. This, of course, includes n.o.ble officers.

The king did not seem to be a bad person. …at least for his own people.

Certainly, from the point of view of an adversary or a weak country that has been targeted for exploitation, he might have the impression of a wicked villain. But that's just the role of the King, it's another topic whether if he's a bad or good person. He works earnestly for the people of his country. No matter how big a disadvantage it is for those in other countries. n.o.body can blame him.

”So, did the ship sunk?” (King of Vanel)

”………” (The Reporter)

Yes, for some reason, the reporter hesitates to give the reply that should've been just a word.

”Hn? I guess it wasn't close enough to the coast to be towed? What is it, what are you hiding!?” (King of Vanel)

The king, stood up from his seat unconsciously, feeling an extraordinary premonition due to the reporter's suspicious behavior.

”Speak! All of it, to the finest detail!” (King of Vanel)

The reporter had no choice but to speak. Even if the king ended disbelieved the story…

”Fuuu (Exhale SFX), the destination of the ship, Eras, is not to the sea floor but to the heaven. Eras, with the angel, has ascended to the heaven!” (the Reporter)
