Chapter 487: Raising Flags Of Disaster
After the farewell to the Morror Continent, I tell Nix to leave the Dungeon gate open in the room we prepared inside the ship, so everyone can come and go as they want, after that, I go to Marcos who is in control of the Ship.
When I go up to the room where he's piloting the ship I see him concentrating on what he's doing and I wait until he notices me.
Sigh
It takes a few minutes for him to crack a smile and sigh before looking to the side where I'm finally noticing my presence.
"Sorry for not noticing you earlier, when I'm at sea I have to pay close attention to everything, especially since it's my first time with this ship." (Marcos)
"Alright, I could see you were really focused." (I)
"Need something from me?" (Marcos)
"I just wanted to talk to you a little to understand a few things." (I)
"Let me see something first..." (Marcos)
Marcos looks at the ocean and then at the sky, then he smiles before calling for one of his crew to take control of the ship before descending with me to the deck.
"Leo tells me you like to fish too, so why not talk while we're relaxing?" (Marcos)
"Fine by me, let's go." (I)
We go over to the place on the side where I always stay and I set up two chairs and pull two fishing rods out of my storage item handing one to Marcos.
"What did you want to know?" (Marcos)
"I wanted to know more about what it's like to sail the ocean." (I)
"As you seem to have sailed for a long time, including in dangerous situations, I decided to ask you." (I)
"Navigating the normal ocean is simple, the hard part is surviving in the open sea." (Marcos)
"Are there divisions at sea?" (I)
"There is, the normal sea is the one around the continents where the water is shallower for miles, we are in that normal sea now." (Marcos)
"How do you navigate such dangerous places?" (I)
"The most important thing is to be careful and calm, see how the water is, look at the sky, make sure there's nothing that draws the attention of a dangerous monster on the boat, etc." (Marcos)
"But one thing that always really helps is luck, I've been in some situations where I didn't even believe I was going to survive, but I'm still here today." (Marcos)
"..." (I)
Why did he have to say luck is an important factor so to me of all people, has no one said anything to him until now?
Doesn't he know I'm basically a bad luck magnet?
Why can't I just be happy for once and have a smooth trip?
Why do you always have to fall short of raising the lucky flag like it's some kind of tease for me?
"I hope you're wrong, I really do." (I)
"(I really just want a smooth and peaceful trip, so if there is any lucky God I ask you to grant me this simple request.)" (I)
"Why do you look worried all of a sudden, everything is going well, you have nothing to worry about." (Marcos)
"Please stop raising flags, don't test your luck with me around or..." (I)
Boommm!
"..." (I)
Before I finish talking to Marcos, I hear the sound of an explosion and a very strong glow in the sky almost blinding me coming out of nowhere.
"But what's going on!?" (Marcos)
"This is what happens when you raise a flag next to me..." (I)
"(IF THERE IS A LUCKY GOD I SWEAR I'LL PUNCH EVERY BELIEVER I MEET!)" (I)
"I FOUND YOU DEMON HERETIC..."
