Henry "Bastante province"
Jack: "Bastante province?"
He responds,
Emilia: "I think I know who you are talking about, but why is he in Bastante province?"
Emilia asks Henry,
Henry: "Because he got punished to do social work there"
Emily: "I really missed out on a lot"
Jack: "Okay, alright but how do we get to Bastante province?"
Henry looks at Jack, thinking that Jack would have known the answer already.
Jack: "What's the matter? Did I miss something?"
Lenny: "We are on a boat and Bastante province is a bay area"
Jack: "You guys think we can easily go to Bastante province with a boat? No one here can drive one"
Emilia raises her hand,
Emilia: "Sometimes, I had to drive a boat when we robbed a freighter on the ocean"
Jack: "So we got our captain, bravo Boss"
Jack says to Henry, frightening Emilia again.
Since after the battle, Emilia got a small tick, she receives a small fright every time she hears the word "Boss", it's like if she gets hit by a small electric shock.
Lenny: "Wait you robbed freighters?"
Emilia: "Not my proudest achievement"
…
Bastante province is the northernmost province in the Great Empire.
Bastante province has a rich history, originally part of the Kagetsu Kingdom, the Great Empires neighbor, the Bastante province still holds onto their ex-traditions, being the only province with traditions from two different countries.
A large river named the Tsukikawa river flows between the Kagetsu Kingdom and the Great Empire, only needing 20 minutes with a boat to drive from the Bastante province to the southernmost province of the Kagetsu Kingdom, the Mitsunaga province.
Bastante province, originally called Mitsunaga province was once part of the Kagetsu Kingdom, making it the only province behind the Tsukikawa river in their history.
It became part of the Great Empire after the "Great imperial war", a conflict between the
Great Empire and the Kagetsu Kingdom from more then a hundred years ago.
To end the war, the Kagetsu Kingdom gave up the Mitsunaga province, handing it to the Great Empire, leading to the Mitsunaga family to flee from their own land, establishing a new province at the other side of the river, leading to the Bastante family immigrate into the land and taking it over.
Now, the Great Empire and the Kaketsu Kingdom are really close allies, even planning on having one of the sons of the Bastante family, marrying one of the daughters of the Mitsunaga family, mixing both cultures together.
…
The ocean is pitch black, night had fallen over the coast of the Great Empire.
Henry: "Are we there yet?"
Henry asks, before leaning over the boat to vomit into the ocean.
Emilia: "We are driving along the coast of the Empire, so we will be there between 2:30 and 4 pm, since it's night we are driving very slow to none, so get some rest"
Henry: "O-okay big sis"
He replies before again vomiting over the boat.
In the interior part of the ship, the sleeping section, Jack and Lenny are spending
their time resting.
In the sleeping section are four loft beds with mattresses at the top and bottom, making room for eight people to sleep there at the same time.
Lenny took over the top side of one of the beds while Jack is on the bed underneath him.
Lenny: "So what do you think of Emilia?"
Jack: "W-what do you mean, like if I like her?"
Lenny: "No big bro, I think she is cool, a strong girl who hides a soft core within"
Jack: "Ah that's what you ment, be more careful how you approach someone with your
question"
Lenny: "Why? You like her?"
Jack: "No I don't, stop saying things like that"
Jacks face gets really red because of Lenny's question.
Lenny: "I can't see your face right now but I can imagine it being really red right now"
Jack: "You don't know what you are talking about Lenny"
Lenny: "Anyways, who do you think the friend of Henry is like? You think he is strong?"
Jack: "I don't know Lenny, and Im really tired now"
Lenny: "Come on big bro, you can at least tell me what you think"
Jack: "I really have no expectations this time, but I'll trust Henry…for now"
Lenny: "I hope that he is alright"
Lenny then takes his blanked and covers it over him,
Lenny: "Sleep well big bro"
Jack: "Yeah you too, Lenny"
Henry enters the room, with swolen cheeks and a pale face from vomiting too often.
Jack laughs from the sight of Henry,
Jack: "Whoa what happened to you?"
Henry: "I only drove once on a boat in the past, since then I guess I get seasick when im on one"
Lenny and Jack bursts out laughing, while Henry walks to his bed, resting.
Emilia is up at the captain's room. As a girl, she does not want to sleep in the same
room as the boys, but also as the ship's captain she has no other choice then sleeping there, watching over the boat's course.
Emilia: "I wonder how mom is doing right now, she probably called me often but since i
don't have a phone anymore I can't call her. I'll ask Henry when he wakes up if we should visit her when we have nothing to do."
Emilia then also falls asleep, driving the ship slowly on autopilot function the Boss had built in back when it was his ship.
…
The sun rises over the horizon, reflecting over the wide ocean.
Emilia is the first to wake up, drinking a cup of coffee while sitting on a chair at the table, on the top area of the ship.
The second to wake up is Jack, who walks up the stair, looking like he just woke up a second ago.
Emilia: "Good morning sleepy head, need a coffee?"
Jack: "Morning, you have coffee here?"
Emilia: "Who do you think I am? Of course I have coffee"
Jack: "I mean afterall you are a criminal, fog princess"
Emilia: "You done your research, congrats, storm dragon"
Jack frightens by the fact that Emilia knows that name.
Emilia just smiles, taking a sip of her cup,
Emilia: "What, you think you are the only one who did their research?"
Jack: "Mind keeping it a secret?"
He asks in his cool-boy tone,
Emilia: "Don't worry I'm good in keeping secrets"
She answers with a smile, sipping on her coffee.
