Chapter 4: The Task on the Deck

Location: Taiwan Time: 10:13 AM

When I woke up in bed on New Year’s Day, the five-colored rooster head, who had co rolled over thereThrown on the ground was a heap of glass soda bottles

Clearly Senior and senior Gasai had run off to who knohere and didn’t return all night

Lying in bed, I felt like I was spacing out for three secondsNew Year’s Day…Should I go with so of which, there probably isn’t anyone I could pay a visit to in this kind of place, right?

“Yang~” The person who had rolled to the side suddenly cli his pillow as he opened his eyes at ht?” Why are you telling et enough sleep plus I had toothe pillow aside, the five-colored rooster head uttered a nonsensical conclusion, “It stopped hurtingWhere do you want to go play today on the shi+p?”

Don’t you think you stopped hurting a bit too quickly!? An average person should first fall on the bed as if they’re close to death, then see if they should rest or wait for assistance, before finally recovering their life force slowly after tossing and turning for most of the day; that’s the way it should be!

“I don’t really want to play…” To be honest, hanging out with the to leave the room, especially since I don’t like places with ard to a couple of clubs and activity centers, I’ll keep the the refrigerator, the five-colored rooster head dragged out a bunch of snacks that he got fro thee like an old ladyI also noticed that the refrigerator still had at least half a dozen of those glass bottles of soda thrown on the groundOn theht not be cheap

“Then it just so happens, yesterday the chef asked ~it so happens that you can co so a “prize,” the five-colored rooster head addedo” With a face full of black lines, I got out of bed to pour hot water

“You have to goThere’s a reward for this”

With a big grin, the five-colored rooster head tossed a can of soda and a suessed that it was probably grape soda and the like, because the brand on it was a grapeThe snack was soo, since you and the chef are so close anyway”

The five-colored rooster head leaned over with a cookie dangling fro~but I’ to one land while people can be found in all four directionsWe share our ether; if this uncle didn’t ask you today, that would be too disloyal of h at Ziray,how to take care of a brother!”

[T/N: I think he’s referring to their common nationality so I kind of paraphrased it to “one land” “四海” could mean the whole world or the whole country]

Did you watch so off his hand on me, I took two steps back and opened o, those brothers wouldn’t laugh at you” And also, where did you get “underworld brothers” fro brother has a big brother’s difficulties, all the arrangeood” He showed a very serious expression, then pattedh…you really don’t need toto the Internet area” It’s very safe there, suitable for ~I know you really want to go, so let’s get ready!”

Not giving me the chance to refuse at all, the five-colored rooster head sed the cookie in one gulpNor caring that e can, he kicked the door open and draggeda tone that didn’t allow any refusal or comet dressed quicklyWe have to head out to the deck!” Saying that, he also grabbed a set ofthe the door

I was frozen inside the bathrooe can and clothes in ree at all…

“Yang~hurry” Outside the guy as still in an excited state started to issue the sound of nails scratching the doorWithout even looking, I could instantly tell that hethat beast claw to scratch

Don’t destroy public property, bastard!

Are you a dog juet to the bathroo dressed, it took approximately ten minutes or soIt was only after I rolled up my dirty clothes that I noticed the noises outside the door had suddenly stopped at so the door, a scene that completely stunned me appeared in front–

I sao beast claws just about to scratchto do!?” So and running away

The five-colored rooster head paused and also withdrew his hands that turned back to nor”

You were definitely trying to kill soht!?

If you continued like this, the door totally would’ve been broken into pieces by you!

I was already a bit unwilling to turn around and see what the bathroom door has turned intoIt feels like we’ll have to pay a lot

“Since Yang~you’re done preparing! Let’s head toward the deck!” Disregarding the ruined public property, the five-colored rooster head abruptly grabbedover to kick open the roo

I didn’t nod or say I’ed up to the deck that was cold enough to kill soer that early, there were already a couple of people using the deckA few kids wearing new clothes were bouncing around the already-closed swi poolEvery three or fiveadults would even call out to them to be careful

“What kind of task did the chef entrust you to do?”

Tightening the heavy coat onjust woken up and letting the sea breeze blow onto freeze off

The five-colored rooster head turned around and stretched into a big s for the party, a kid ran into the kitchenSince everyone was busy at the tiave the kid a snack to eat, but the kid took advantage of when no one was paying attention to take a very i jar of hisLater he asked that kid, and the other person said it fell on the deck, so he wanted to ask us to see if it’s there”

Please correct this: he was only asking for you, not for “us”

Speaking of which, ould a kid steal a seasoning jar?

A bunch of pepper, salt and other kitchen essentials surfaced init wouldaround, I really wanted to tell the five-colored rooster head one thing: “This deck is so big, we’ll be searching until we die” At first glance, it’s at least coet it!

You simply think that we have toolike this until we land, right!?

The five-colored rooster head looked over: “How could we possibly die? You’re overthinking” He even “haha” laughed attoo little

Life should be filled with , do you understand!?

“Then okay, I’ll try using it” Dragging the five-colored rooster head to a nearby place without people, I took out the illusionary soybean: [The one who signed a contract with me, please allow the seeker to witness your keenness]

After saying that, Minas appeared in ht scattered in an instantI thought I could get this matter over with quickly, but I didn’t expect that when the blue specks ran back after a few seconds, they didn’t bring anything back and turned into Minas’ regular for you want on this shi+p”

“Ah?”

I immediately turned around to look at the five-colored rooster head

“Hey! I didn’t lie to you!” He instantly retorted in less than a second: “It really is hereYour gun has a problem”

Veins popped up on Minas’ forehead: “I…”

“Alright, then let’s split up and look” Before he and Minas could argue, I hurriedly put the gun away first, “Since Minas couldn’t find it, I guess it’s probably in a weird place” I have faith in the Illusionary Weapon’s abilityIt’s just that there are too s on this shi+p

“Then okay, let’s head forward in the direction of twelve o’clock!”

Looking over in the twelve o’clock direction he was pointing to, I saw so called a “wall”

“You look in the front half, I’ll look in the back, and that’ll be it” Patting the five-colored rooster head’s shoulder, I think sometimes it’s more practical to decide on my own

“Okay!”

The five-colored rooster head ran off excitedly

Looking at the rapidly disappearing figure, I suddenly felt that the deck was so cold…Why do I have to be here looking for so the back deck, the back area was mainly the leisure areaDue to the cold wind, the front had a bit less people, but there were more obstacles

Why wasn’t Minas able to find a seasoning jar that couldn’t be more ordinary?

Just when I started to slowly search, the phone rangWhen I opened it, I saw Chifuyu’s naround of the other end of the call was very quietIt seems that he’sfor the cereht be annoyed by the fact that I asked hio: “Uh, I’uess I have ti jarAt first I was going to say that just using Minas would do, but strangely enough, the Illusionary Weapon actually couldn’t find that seasoning jar, so now I’h the first row of seats and still not seeing it, I continued to the next row

[Oh, if even an Illusionary Weapon couldn’t find it, then there’s a possibility] Pausing, Chifuyu see and let out a sound: [It’s probably been eaten]

“Eaten?” Even the jar?

There shouldn’t be any huht!?

Wait a minute, in fact there is one: that five-colored rooster head who just walked off to the front halfI started to seriously consider whether or not to try s him until he threw up

[It shouldn’t have been eaten by an average life-form, otherwise the Illusionary Weapon would have found it]

The five-colored rooster head isn’t an average life-form

[I’ll teach you a way to find it, but based on your current level, the range enerally within 100 h” At any rate, if it exceeds that, I can just use it a few more times

[Okay, first you have to crouch down, then use a white crystal on the ground…A normal one will do, this is a small spellUse the white crystal to draw the basic incantations for wind and water]

White crystal…Do I have white crystals onmyself down, I found a crystal inIt hat Senior and the others used to draw on ot stuffed intoout the crystal, I looked around and looked for a relatively re the totemsAs soon as the crystalabove the groundWhen the whole thing was drawn, it took on a shape

[After you finish drawing the array, the activation incantation is as follows: thewater elves, please find the lost object for me]

This spell is pretty easy

I i the incantation, the array on the ground movedAll of a sudden, the entire silver path floated out and reasse away

Not at all expecting it to rush off so quickly, I i noise fro, did you find it?]

Holding the phone, I suddenly had a helpless feeling: “Nn, I found it” Appearing beforewas even pecking its white round bellyThe ballfish rolled around and even kept issuing a chirping noise: “It seems to be in a ballfish’s stohter came from the other side, [This is normalBallfish randomly pick up stuff to eat]

…Doesn’t it only eat seston and rubber bands?

“Then how do I get it out?” If you want me to fish it out from inside with my hand, I would never dare to!

[Turn it upside down and shake it hard, then it’ll fall out] Chifuyu gave e bin with garbage stuck inside

Half believing and half doubting, I grabbed that white ballfish, and thevanishedFollowing Chifuyu’s h, it took less than a few seconds before I heard a “kou dong” sound—-

A glass bottle fell out, landing on the deck and rolling a few roundsIt was a long transparent bottle, with several dry golden leaves inside

This is a seasoning jar?

I thought it would be soolden leaves inside flashed slightly and looked quite prettyI could sort of understand why that kid would want to steal this

“Chifuyu, I found it” Putting away the bottle, I picked up that white ballfish, which for so up to the deck, and tossed it outAfter the eence of a perfect arc, the ballfish fell into the sea and disappeared

[That’s good then, I originally called to tell you…] As if about to tell , a sudden shout from Chifuyu’s side caused hiain: [Tsk, I have to go, this will have to be it for now, goodbye]

“Oh, okay, bye” I hurriedly replied: “Thank you so much, Chifuyu” No]

Then the other end of the call hung up

It looks they really are busy during the New YearI suddenly felt that being too leisurely is a sin

After putting away the phone, I walked toward the front with the seasoning jar, then saw that guy, as supposed to be hard at work searching for the seasoning jar, leaning on the railings and looking at the scenery

What now?

You couldn’t find it so you i jar into the coat’s pocket, I slowly approached the five-colored rooster head: “Ziray, you couldn’t find the chef’s iteave him a pat on his shoulder

The five-colored rooster head turned to glance athe pro at the scenery?” Doubtfully looking below the shi+p too, besides the waves and seawater below, there was nothing else

“No, I’ weird” The five-colored rooster head rolled his eyes atat an idiot: “Didn’t you notice it?”

Notice what?

There’s a floating wood or floating pirates in the sea?

“Did you really not notice anything?” The five-colored rooster head looked atexpression

Was I supposed to notice soain, it’s very clean, with nothing at allIt’s co at all?

“Why are the ballfish gone?” I re near the shi+p froone today? Could it be that they all came up like that white ballfish did?

“Don’t you think you realized it too slowly? How are you going to be this uncle’s underling like this!?” S my shoulder hard, the five-colored rooster head who alof which, how co!?

“I’ve only just seen the sea!” I was concentrated on helping you find the seasoning jar before, okay, “That said, is there going to be a problem if the ballfish disappear?” It can’t be that in a o chase sea turtles

“The probleer in the ocean” The five-colored rooster head shrugged and told er?” I suddenly felt a bit nervous, because yesterday Senior and senior Gasai were discussing this sort of problem too

“Oh, it’s also possible that the cold currents caot too cold and they ran to hide first”

…Screw you

“Oh right, Yang~did you find it?” Finally reoal here was to find the item and not to see if the ballfish disappeared, the five-colored rooster head opened his mouth to ask this

“If I say I didn’t find it, ould you do?” Looking at the five-colored rooster head who didn’t find it at all, I suddenly felt curious about hoould answer

“Nothing in particular, it means that the two of us don’t have any affinity for the front and back deckNoe have to switch places; you look in the front and this uncle will look in the backWe’ll definitely find it this way!” The five-colored rooster head told me an extremely optimistic and unrealistically distorted conclusion

“…” So if we still don’t find it, we have to switch again?

I felt that maybe…no, it’s bound to turn out like that for sureInferring based on the five-colored rooster head’s actions, he’ll definitely need to switch again! Then tell shui (luck) turns all the ti~let’s switch places!” The cheerful five-colored rooster head once again patted my shoulder hard, even on the sah to make me almost tear up

Don’t knock on et! Don’t you know that ordinary people si, take it” In order to prevent hiain, I put so jar and throwing it to hiht: “It should be this, right?”

The five-colored rooster head turned that glass jar around in the sunThe leaves in the jar very cooperatively issued a pretty glowIt was only after it see that he directed a s~s! We can for up treasure that no one knows about!” The fla about the future

If you really want us to go find the the side of the treasure!

“I think we should quickly take this to the chefHe” Before the five-colored rooster head could seriously consider searching for treasure, I i as I headed below the deck

“Oh right, let’s hurry up” Giving up and dragging me below by my shoulder, the five-colored rooster head, as still thinking of treasure-hunting just now, ran down the whole way

Al, I couldn’t help but catch up to his pace

To be honest, this wasthe shi+p’s kitchen

It was even ht I would see that very simplified type of equip onboardI never thought I would be seeing the type of large scale kitchen like the ones on land

The five-colored rooster head seeotten familiar with the people hereAs soon as he opened the door, he readily greeted the the “no entry for non-affiliated people” sign on the door

“Thofood, the five-colored rooster head very straightforwardly shouted to the person all the way in the back

…Wait a minute, why do I feel like this na at the end was also a chef, co a tall white hatTurning around, it was a big-nosed Westerner, who even waved at the five-colored rooster head good-naturedly

In addition to the familiar name, I found that I was also familiar with the person hi rin and gave the seasoning jar to the Westerner

“This is great, I can’t believe you actually found it” The big-noses Westerner took the seasoning jar, revealing a joyful smile, then picked up a napkin nearby and wiped off the stains on the jar, putting it on the shelf lovingly: “This one totiht it ht’ve fallen into the sea”

“Hehe, it was actually Yang~who found it” Giving me a push, the five-colored rooster head pushed ht shoulder

The big-nosed Westerner turned his gaze to htly for a ain”

“Uh, hello, what a coincidence” Sure enough, I didn’tpersonHe was that uncle (not literally) I met as a child

The five-colored rooster head looked at me, then looked at the Westerner: “You two know each other?”

“Uh…I can’t really say that we ‘know’ each other, in factWe’ve met before” I looked aroundHe didn’t have any reaction though

Wait…If I reht you knew him from schoolThomas doesn’t see ti as a chef hereHe’s a skill-based robe level” The five-colored rooster head pointed at the Westerner and toldappetites here in the original world, so I thought a friend from the sealed world probably came, which is how Ithe inside story behind why the kitchen wasn’t afraid of the five-colored rooster head eating them out of service and allowed him to eat as much as he wanted as well as take the leftoversTurns out, after going around in circles, they were all froain deeply experienced the terrifyingness of the Guild

“But like I said before, Ming Yang really is a qualified personYou are welcome to join us in the future” The Westerner stretched his hand out, and I hastily took it, shaking hands before letting go, “Since you two kids helpedthat you won’t be able to eat easily, whether in the sealed world or the original world”

He s jar that we returned

“Oho! You’re going to use this!?” The five-colored rooster head’s eyes lit up completelyIt see~want to eat!”

“Then alright, please go to your seats first and wait” Turning the jar, I sao leaves pass through the glass bottle and slowly float outThe instant they were exposed to the air, the leaves turned into a slightly transparent color, then a very faint aro them in a small plate at the side, Thomas said with a smile: “Wilerdo’s leaves take a while to fully release their deliciousness”
