"Dear passengers, this is the captain's office of the Laurent, a company owned by the Nari Development Company. Thank you for choosing the Nari Development Company's flight. We have arrived at the destination of this route, Saint-Neali. I wish you all a happy journey again. Once again
Please check your belongings and report any lost items to the headquarters of Nali Development Company within 7 days."
The captain's announcement sounded on the ship again. Fisher sorted out his thesis manuscripts, sealed them carefully with brown paper, then put them under his arm and picked up his cane.
"Renee?"
The cruise ship slowly sailed into the huge port of Saint-Nali. Even while still on the ship, the noisy chatter outside could be heard. There was a magic duty post in the sky to check the order, and the inspectors holding firearms were maintaining the order.
According to the order below, there are always one or two cases every month of tourists fleeing because of prohibited items found by customs. Of course, there are also cases where wanted fugitives are discovered.
Fisher put on his gentleman's hat and called Renee. After waiting for a second or two, Renee came out of the room after changing her clothes. The conservative black dress she wore before was from Cardoo.
Dress up, but underneath I put on lace stockings that understands male psychology.
This time, her dress changed into a Nali-style lady's outfit. She wore a pale golden silk dress that highlighted her curvy figure. Her long hair was tied into a knot, and she used a white rose hair accessory.
Finally, the whole outfit ends with a white hat.
She looked at Fisher with a smile on her face, then stretched out her hand to straighten his bow tie and gentleman's hat, but touched his cheek with her fingers and said,
"What's wrong, you're stunned? Compared to Kadu's conservative clothes, you still prefer the Nari style, which is both beautiful and elegant, isn't it?"
"I've been wanting to ask you before, where did you get all these clothes?"
Fisher was more confused about where this guy's clothes came from, because Renee didn't bring any luggage with her this time, but she often changed clothes.
"I went back to Saint-Neali to buy it."
"...You went back to Sanali to buy clothes and then ran back to the boat? Why bother? Why not go back to my house first and help me clean up."
Facing Fisher's incomprehensible words, Renee pinched the muscles of Fisher's arm with a dark face and said in a very dangerous tone,
"I want you to take care of it!"
"..."
Following the flow of people outside and walking out of the boat, Fisher bumped into Laiba, a businessman he had met on the boat before. He saw the graceful Fisher behind him and took the initiative to slow down and walk to his side, taking off his hat to say hello.
,
"Sir, it's a good thing that the pirates before didn't rob my goods, otherwise I would have suffered a lot this time... By the way, this is my business card. If you need any cigarettes and wine, you can go to the store on Enke Street to find it.
My employees, you will get a special price after showing this business card."
"must."
Fisher took the business card he handed over and discovered that this store was a chain store that he had often seen in Saint-Negli. It seemed that the store was not a small businessman as he said.
Putting the business card in his arms, he said goodbye to Leba and got off the boat with Renee.
There were many local young children in front of the customs below. Their eyes lit up when they saw the passengers carrying luggage off the ship. They hurriedly approached and asked if there was anyone who needed help. However, the luggage carrying service is not free and costs about 10 yuan per time.
to 20 euros, it all depends on the weight of the customer's luggage.
If you pay more, they are willing to help the guests carry their luggage to the carriage outside, but this time Fisher's things are all left in the Southern Continent, so they don't really need their help.
"Fisher, I'll wait for you outside."
Arriving in front of the customs, Renee, who did not have an identity document, could not pass the government inspection with Fisher, so she whispered in Fisher's ear and slowly and unknowingly disappeared among the people walking towards the customs.
, only the Hart bird paused above the customs gate indicated that she was still nearby.
Fisher glanced at the Hart Bird above, then carried his luggage and walked into the customs inspection hall. This floor was mainly used to check whether passengers had brought dangerous goods into Saint-Nali.
I brought back many large snails from the Southern Continent, and as a result, the river in Saint-Nali was filled with such large snails, and I couldn't kill them all.
Then the Parliament promulgated the most stringent customs ban in history. Unless special approval is given, passengers are prohibited from bringing all animals and plants through customs to avoid repeating the story of the giant snail in the southern continent.
Fisher did not carry any dangerous items with him. After showing his ID, he passed through the customs and entered his hometown, Saint-Nali.
The oncoming sea breeze carried a thick smoke of fireworks, and everywhere there were people coming and going, government workers, nearby residents, newsboys, students, and government posters plastered all over the port's publicity boards.
“Environmental Protection Bill—Take our blue skies back from factories!”
"Pioneering the party's mid-term campaign bill, the fourth block renovation plan."
“The agenda to focus on war orphans has passed!”
"The Southern Continent Asian Human Protection Association is under construction. Paying attention to life is our slogan!"
Many citizens who had not seen each other for a long time stopped in front of the political column. Fisher was one of them. He quickly locked on the information above and roughly guessed that the Development Party... which is also commonly called the New Party still supports
After the rate was quite high, he withdrew his gaze, picked up his cane and walked outside.
The road that has been formed in front of him is not dirty mud, but a clean stone road that has been carefully paved. There are horse-drawn carriages on both sides, and there is a track for public tram traffic in the middle. Fisher briefly looked at the station.
, it takes about seven stops from here to his rental house.
Renee didn't know when she appeared behind Fisher. She looked at him and started to observe the site again, curled her lips, poked his shoulder and said,
"Don't take the tram. I'll ask you to take the carriage back."
Fisher glanced back at her, not knowing that she suddenly had so much money. She also bought a cane for herself before. She obviously ate and used her own food when she was around him, but how could she become rich as soon as she left him.
"Where did you get the money?"
"A lady's little treasury, men don't ask~"
She dabbed her lipstick coquettishly, then pulled Fisher's sleeves and walked to the other end of the street, passing many hurried travelers and scenery along the way. The buildings by the port were covered with blue and white griffons. The flag symbolizes that this is the core of Nali, Saint-Nali.
"How do you feel when you return to Nali? Do you feel that your breathing has become easier?"
"It's not bad, at least I can drink real wine and coffee."
"That's good...I'm going to leave again in a few days. This time I really want to go to the south of Kadu to see it. I'm very happy staying with you for a while, not bad."
Originally, he wanted to find an excuse to drive Renee away, but at this moment when she said she wanted to leave, it took on a different color, making Fisher want to keep her. When Fisher turned around When he looked at her, he found that she was looking at him with a wicked smile, as if she was waiting for his words of retention.
Or maybe, one look is enough.
"Take good care of yourself."
There was nothing to hide from. After all, even if Renee was not the immortal witch he was looking for, she was still a close friend he knew. Facing her teasing gaze, Fisher's answer was very serious and serious. True.
"Humph, I know you can't say anything nice. So what are you going to do next?"
"Publish papers and make some money, but my family is worried about it."
"If you hadn't given the carriage to that dragon race, wouldn't you have been able to uncover the truth?"
"The 1,500 euro ticket I bought for you was the straw that broke the camel's back. In this sense, there is no difference between you two."
"...We should share yours and mine?"
"'A lady's little treasury, men should not ask'..."
Fisher expressionlessly repeated what Renee had said before, making Renee furious. In Renee's eyes, was Fisher not the man she thought had the worst temper?
The two of them were chatting while walking towards the carriage. The carriage could take them to their destination, so they didn't have to wait an hour in a crowded train to get to Fisher's rental house.
It has to be said that the environmental protection bill may really be effective. The sky unexpectedly became clear on the day Fisher returned to Saint-Nali. The sea breeze from the port blew over the faces of every resident of Saint-Nali, bringing with it the ocean of aroma.
"Sir, would you like to see the latest coffee in our store?"
"Welcome to the maid drink shop!"
"Sir, can you help me? I haven't eaten for many days..."
Fisher paused slightly and looked towards the source of the last voice.
Next to the church in the port, I saw a group of dirty beggars lying under the rain shelter of the platform. It often rains in Saint-Nali, so this place becomes a gathering place for beggars. The police sometimes drive them away, but No matter how you drive them away, they will always come back.
It was early afternoon when Fisher arrived in Saint-Ery. Many beggars were taking a nap. Only one or two of them were still shouting hard to the street, hoping to meet a good person like Fisher.
Fisher stretched out his hand, threw two Narios into the beggar's hand, then picked up the cane and walked forward.
"May the Mother Goddess bless you!! Welcome to Sainte-Neali!!"
The beggar behind him kept kowtowing, but Fisher said something he couldn't understand at all without looking back.
"It's better to believe in Lamastia, He can hear."
The beggar held the coin in his hand and tilted his head. Of course he didn't know what the well-dressed gentleman meant.
