Epilogue-To the Blue Country; Scene 1

♣ Yukina ~In the Former Lucifenia Territory, “Port Town"~
.
The weather was fine today.
A port on Lucifenia’s western coast. Anchored there now was Marlon’s esteemed warship, the “Royal Victoricia”.
A bearded sailor was shouting angrily down at the people below him from an observation deck built into one of the ship’s three masts. You could see similar scenes all over the deck.
According to the Victoricia’s captain, Admiral Dylan, such was commonplace. Land troops were nothing compared to the crudeness of a sailor’s temperament.
We still had quite a bit of time left until departure. The admiral had advised me to rest in town, but I wasn’t going to do that during an opportunity to ride in a warship. Since I was already up there, I decided to look around the place until departure time.
“Even though you’ll just look around whether I want you to or not once the ship goes out anyway. You’re a curious one.”
The admiral was surprised, but he granted me permission to observe everything on board. I just wasn’t allowed to touch the artillery.
