Chapter 306. Departure of the expedition (3) However, there was someone who set fire to him again.


    “...I thought he was strangely excited after Allel-sama passed awayst time...


    There''s no way he didn''t know that Allel came and went.


    Because it was Arel who asked about Celtisten in the first ce and said she wanted to see his lectures.


    But sure enough, after he left, Celtisten felt excited about something the whole time.


    However, they did not teach me what was going on, as if I was being asked to shut down something.


    Even if you sneakily ask, ‘This man, this is the story of Arel. How can I say anything carelessly?'' Aren''t you paying attention in reverse?


    ....Who the hell is talking to whom?


    At that time, it was quite absurd, so I wasughing nonsense.


    It was clear, however, that there must be something.


    But, sure enough.


    He also heard the news a while ago.


    That Arell is nning arge-scale expedition in the name of Ernesia Kingdom.


    And, again, it passed without objection from the nobility.


    At first, he thought so, but when he heard that it was Celtisten who wouldmand the ship for the expedition, he unknowingly pped his forehead.


    Well yes!


    That''s when we talked about this!


    It is only now that I havee to understand.


    And now, this Celtisten guy burst into the dean''s office in a fit of excitement.


    “You''re not going to dry it, are you?”


    “Would you like to hear it?”


    “Do you think you will be excited?”


    I guess that''s right, Shuguillen smiled bitterly and shook his head.


    I know very well that he harbored a desire to cross the ocean 25 years ago to check the continent.


    You know how Imented it when it was frustrated.


    Now he won''t listen no matter what anyone says.


    “Still, as a lecturer, you should properly organize your work. At least take over properly.”


    “Don’t worry. Because I already told my disciple properly. Not that irresponsible.”


    “...That student looks like he''s crying.”


    At least, it must have been a one-sided tying.


    The lecture from tomorrow would have been like telling you to do it.


    It''s good in the eyes even if you don''t see it.


    Well, I have no desire to sympathize with you.


    Not in that position.


    Let''s just say that the kid was given the opportunity to work as an instructor early on.


    If he had really hated it in the first ce, he would have left after running away.


    “But are you really going to be okay? Isn''t that dangerous?”


    Crossing the sea is normally as reckless as foaming at the mouth.


    But Celtisten snorted, “Don''t worry.”


    “When was it not? Nothing different from those days. Wouldn’t it be safer and more certain now?”


    “Home, okay.”


    Well, since before, he''d easily overlooked minor dangers for his own purposes.


    If he said so, there would be no problem.


    In the first ce, the age to worry about each other has passed.


    “You look good.”


    “of course. Arell-nim speaks well. I never thought I would be able to cross the sea that I had given up on until I reached this age!”


    And when I was so excited, how could I say anything?


    pletely childless


    ‘...Arel-sama must have thought of attracting a guy like that.''


    Well, in a sense, he is the most ambitious and suitable person.


    With that thought in mind, he brushed aside the chatter of his friend before he left and reconciled.


    Anyway, like it or not, I won''t have a chance to listen to what he''s talking about for a while after that.


    As soon as the exploratory n passed, I immediately began preparing to send the expedition away as if there was nothing to stifle.


    Well, to be honest, I''ve been giving instructions secretly from before, so it was nothing more than just doing it openly.


    The ship was prepared by selecting the strongest specifications among the ships used in thest trade.


    “Really, Arell... You seem to have a knack for preying on artisans.”


    “I thought everyone would die from overwork this time, something.”


    Technicians, including Archen, cksmiths, and alchemists under Damon,ined half-jokingly about the difficult schedule.


    are you okay.


    Still, you abide by the Labor Standards Act, and you definitely pay for it, right?


    Well, even though thatw is my rule.


    “hmm? Surely, looking at it like this, even the same boat looks new?”


    I nodded my head in satisfaction as I looked at the expedition ship that was once again adorning itself in the harbor.


    Previously, when using it as a trade ship, it was painted ck for practicality, but there was an opinion that it was a bit unreasonable to use it like that for an exploration ship, and I agreed.


    How surprised would the locals be if a huge, dark ship appeared in a strangend?


    Come to think of it, it''s not like there weren''t such troubles in Earth''s history.


    So I ordered the ship to be repainted.


    I put a lot of thought into what color to paint it.


    Should I paint it red and wear horns?


    Shall I paint it gold as I like?


    But inside of me, everyone was squeamish this time.


    In particr, the golden paint made me feel like I was going to dry it with all my heart.


    What''s wrong with the golden paint?


    In the end, thepromise was...


    “It''s really white.”


    “Doesn’t it look nice?”


    Darman spoke proudly of the explorer''s freshly painted white.


    It is because he and the alchemists worked hard to create the special paint used for painting.


    During the day, it is pure white.


    However, at night... when there is no light, it looks dark, so it is secured so that it is not noticed by monsters or pirates with good night vision.


    As a bonus, it is white, but the advantage is that it does not burn.


    As long as it is not used for trade, it is safer because there are weapons and magic devices in various spaces.


    “Come to think of it, wouldn’t it be better to paint other trade ships with that too?”


    Even if it wasn''t so, I often heard opinions that other countries trembled because the ck belly was so intimidating.


    Do I have to do that too?


    Even to me, the white belly looks a lot more friendly than the dark one.


    “...it takes extra time and money to produce the paint. There are no conditions for us.”


    “okay? Then let''s do it slowly.”


    As soon as I told him to make additional paint, I saw the faces of the alchemists, including Darman, harden in fear, and I couldn''t help but be merciful.


    yes i watched Do you want to go home today?


    When Yun-heo says it''s okay to leave work, some take out handkerchiefs and pretend to be impressed.


    ....Really, what evil business owner am I?


    While being dumbfounded, Aken, who returned after instructing the crew on what to do, continued to report.


    “For now, I have taught you what to teach the technicians who will be on board, including the sailors.”


    “Well, I think you must have done well on that point.”


    “It didn’t matter if I went if it was fun, right?”


    “No, that doesn’t work.”


    why am i letting you go


    never let go


    Others don''t know, but you don''t.


    I said firmly.


    We can''t send our father-inw on a boat on a long voyage.


    I have to change them in the future...


    no, how many things do they have to do to make them active, but how do they send them a long way?


    I can''t do that!


    how do i send you


    You guys should go back and grind... No, you should contribute to the infinite development of our territory.


    Aken looked at me with such eyes and made a face as if he was fed up with something.


    “…I feel like it would be better to get on the boat right now.”


    “It’s an illusion, an illusion? Now, when you return to the manor, the next task is waiting for you.”


    “joy! It might be better to get on the boat now.”


    Maybe he''s used to it now, but Aken just snorted at my joke and then walked away, saying he had something to check.


    I also finished the small talk and checked the rest of the medicines, food, weapons, and personnel to be loaded.


    It''s because I can''t tolerate a sloppy finish as much as I expect.


    We have prepared everything that can be dealt with within the predictable range of medicine.


    Manuals and documentation for emergency repairs.


    And all the parts for the spare mana engine were equipped.


    All personnel have received consent so that no one goes on a voyage unjustly, and even in case, even if an emergency happens, they promise to treat the remaining family members with certainty. You won''t hear anyints.


    This is not just a distant continent.


    You may be able to navigate around this star once.


    Not only telling the truth, but telling the truth.


    Thinking so, I was confident.


    Yes, I thought I could send it at this point.


    After all the preparations, the time has finallye for the expedition to depart.


    The day two days before theunching ceremony of the Ernesia Expedition Corps.


    I personally called the expedition party to Fahilia to go out by boat and gave a banquet on purpose.


    I deliberately called them to the castle and opened the wide banquet hall to invite them.


    They cheered as if they were moved in front of all kinds of food and various kinds of alcohol that could only be eaten here, as if they had never thought that I would host a banquet myself.


    “This is a little bit of how I feel about what I expect from you.”


    I gave a pre-banquet speech in front of them.


    It is meant to boost their morale by making them feel that they are expected enough.


    After all, alcohol and food are thew to boost a person''s redness.


    “Now, I wish you a sessful exploration, and don’t hesitate and enjoy today!”


    “Ooooooooooooo!”


    “Long live Ernesia-sama!”


    In front of the blessing of food and drink, everyone raises their sses and shouts as if moved.


    The reason why the banquet was deliberately not held the day before was in consideration of a hangover.


    Everyone is moved by this sense.


    When you give, you have to know how to give. Proper loyalty follows.


    Those who dream of bing a great lord should underline this.


    Yes, when you write, you have to know how to write.


    I intentionally only appeared at the first banquet, and slipped away after that.


    Is this also a sense?


    Traditionally, it is a virtue to miss a boss at a dinner party.


    There is no hobby of drinking with sweaty muscr sailors.


    I quietly and coolly moved away.


    Well, the reason I left was because I didn''t have to deal with the crew.


    Because the hair has to match the hair.


    Now, in a separate room, I am sharing a ss with Celtisten, who will lead the expedition.


    “Hmm,e to think of it, Celtisten? Did you prefer hanging out with the sailors rather than here?”


    “Oh, that''s fine. They''re the faces you''ll get tired of seeing when you start sailing anyway, so what''s the point of joining them even one day sooner?”


    “That''s a very sad word.”


    “Originally, it is necessary to strictly lead in order to achieve achievements. Being too close is sometimes not good heh heh heh heh.”


    “is it?”


    It''s something that makes me tilt my head as I make everyone do things every time and go out to y and disturb them when I''m bored.


    Well, even if I think about it, I''m a bit nasty.


    “And wouldn’t it taste better to drink when no one above you was there?”


    “Ah, I can’t help but sympathize with that.”


    “That''s right.”


    Celtisten passed the drink I brought down his throat casually andughed happily.


    I''m excited I''m excited


    Even if he said it like that, he had alreadye up with the words while discussing with the sailors one by one in advance for smooth exploration.


    Even if he said that, I already know that he remembers every name of the lower end sailors.


    Even if he looks away, he is subtly taking a friendly approach to his subordinates.


    The face is just a scary-looking professor with nomunication skills.


    I can''t be very honest.
