Boatswain

[Boatswain]

It looks a lot and large. How about cutting down some?

Doll, check.

Bell, check.

Dried Star Lilly, check.

Rope tied 33 times, check.

5 creases on the sail, check. Good!

What! Who broke this Pussy Willow branch!

Hello, I am

[Sous Chef]

......

Oh, you are the newly trained adventurer setting off on an adventure to the new continent. I am fond of an adventurous spirit. I used to travel from a place to another when I was young.

[Helmsman]

Exactly when was it? How long ago?

Not long ago. It feels like it happened just yesterday.

Yesterday, you were running on the deck in the middle of the night.

Phew, such nonsense.

Hey, I get it. It is too noisy there. You may go now.

.......

The Sous Chef is always on the edge before sailing off. don't take it personally.

A mature Doram doesn't hold on to such things. You may go. We are about to set off.

It is almost the time for us to sail off. You should go back.

5 creases on the sail, check.

You seem to be in trouble. What is the matter?

You don't seem to be experienced enough to resolve my problem. Come back after gaining more experience.

We need to take off anytime soon, and the preparation for sailing is not made properly.

I don't know much about sailing, but none of those sounds relevant to the ship.

It is not your business... Well, a stranger from a new place is supposed to solve this problem.

I am the sailor of sailors. The real seaman. I am the boatswain of this ship who is in charge of taking care of tough sailors and all the business on the deck. The story I am about to tell you... You shouldn't tell it to anyone else.

Then you would learn how fearful a sailor can be.

Then go back to your spot. You shouldn't expect any favors from me from now on.

Good. I like the attitude that you don't give in for threats. So do I. Well, so did I.

Why do you use a past tense?

Do you believe in invisible things? Like those which don't really exist? Especially the special ones that appear in the night...

Oh, the dead.

You are right. I had no fear. I enjoyed running into adventures and stuff. That's how I ended up in Lasagna and became the boatswain of Con-Chliina after meeting Captain Gamberi.

I have been to everywhere. And one day, I found it.

There are numerous islands on the sea where no one lives. Sometimes, you find a pot buried in the middle of an island.

When the ship was anchored in an unknown island to replenish water, I explored the island as I always did. And I found a sealed pot there.

I shook it, but there was no sound. I was wondering what was in there making no sound when it had been sealed so carefully.

Gamberi who came there tried to stop me, but I opened the seal. There was nothing in the pot, and nothing happened.

I threw away the pot and got on Con-Chliina. And it happened that night.

Oh, I guess we are getting into the good part. I really like it.

Oh the night, I listened to this song. I could hear it anywhere. I could hear is from the creases in my palm, near my ear and the silver waves.

It felt like I could grab the tune with my hand. When I was walking, following the sound, someone shook me hard. The next thing I noticed was that I was being held by the crews just before jumping off the ship.

Enchanted by the song?

I thought so. I went to sleep with my ears closed. The strange thing is that it happened again the next day and the day after.

Every night, I saw a dim silhouette or couldn't fall asleep because of the chattering noise in my ear. When I did fall asleep, I felt this weight on my body and woke up, covered in cold sweats.

The pot turned out to be a pot in which an evil ghost has been sealed. Gamberi knew it and tried to stop me. However, it was too late. I had already broken the seal. I grew up in the land, and did not know about that at all.

I have been suffering from the supernatural phenomenon ever since.

You mean whatever in there has cursed you, right?

Gamberi took me to the Shaman meow to get a counselling, but it didn't work. This evil ghost is too old, strong and possessive to be removed.

The only thing I could do was to weaken it as much as possible each day.

Is depending on all kinds of superstitions the way to weaken it?

No other crews of Con-Chliina, except Captain Gamberi and I, know about this.

The Shaman meow has told me a riddle that a stranger from a new place will solve this problem. It is not a coincidence that we have met.

Please go and tell this story to the Shaman meow and bring me the remedy. I'll do anything for you if you get rid of it.

Anything? Is that a promise?

The Boatswain of Con-Chliina doesn't lie. If you don't trust me, you should trust Gamberi who has hired me as the Boatswain of Con-Chliina.

I'll be back soon.

The Shaman meow lives in a secluded place near the entrance of the village.

Shaman meow is living in a secluded place at the entrance of Lasagna. I hope that a stranger from a new place like you take care of my problem.

Dear adventurer, did you meet Shaman meow?

[You told the Boatswain the story you had heard from Shaman meow.]

What? I should become a Shaman meow? What a nonsense! I am a sailor! I shall die on the sea as a sailor!

I'd rather spend the rest of life fighting than living with the ghosts!

Shaman meow is not as bad as you think. Why don't you go get a counseling when you have time.

I'll just pretend you didn't say that! I don't give a damn about a Shaman meow saying those malicious things!

The evil ghost will absorb the life out of you. You won't last many days like this, dear Boatswain.

What? Wait... That is...

You can survive through a day with a daily amulet. I guess you should be closer to the Shaman meow now.

And today's amulet is 20 Basils and 5 Basilrocks. You can get them from the basilisks.

Ba... Basilisks... Out of the frying pan into the fire. I don't like to deal with those dirty things.

Well, That's it from me. I should get going...

Yeah, the stranger taking care of this problem. It must have been our destiny.

Actually, it meant that you would die and the evil ghost would find a new host.

No, no, never. You cannot get out of this like that. It must have been our destiny. It is a fate! You should help me.

...Well, just as I heard from Shaman meow. I was told that the Boatswain would make me do it.

That Shaman meow sure seems to have the vision. I am a believer now. I believe the amulet is really effective. Please go get me one now. Please.

OK, I can't help it. Just for today.

Today's amulet is 20 Basils and 5 Basilrocks! The sun will go down anytime soon!

Here are the Basil and Basilrock.

Argh... Give it to me. No, no. Not like that. Just wrap it a little so that no one can see. Right. Like that. Give me all you have.

This is difficult.

This... This is...

What do you think?

It feels like the black fog neat me is lifting! I don't hear the whispering sound anymore! My head feels so clear in a long time.

It is unfair that I haven't known about this method so far!

It only lasts a day. When it expires, it will be burnt up. I guess you should be close to Shaman meow from now on.

No, never. I don't intend to be friends with Shaman meow or hunt the basilisks myself.

What are you going to do then?

Well, don't I have the new helper in front of me?

I knew it!

I will reward you handsomely. However, you haven't been able to solve the problem permanently so I don't have to keep the promise I have made.

This is unfair.

I will reward you handsomely. Please do me another favor tomorrow.

We will see. I'll come back if I want to.

Oh, you would come. I have a hunch.

I am pretty sure that it is the evil ghost talking to you.

I'll let it slide since you have done me a favor. I'll see you again tomorrow.

Did you bring the amulet for today? You seem to be empty-handed. Is there anything wrong?

Please give it to me now. I feel the power of the amulet fading away now.

This is the amulet for today! Give me all the Basilrocks you have.

It feels like watching the blue horizon on a clear and windless day. It is refreshing.

It feels like watching the clouds go by lying on my back on a green hill.

It feels like seeing the sunshine through the black fog.

Thank you for getting them for me. Please come back tomorrow.

You said you would come if you wanted to.

The amulet is still effective. Go to see Shamanyang after 4:00 am and bring me tomorrow's amulet.

However, you shouldn't have come to me. You should have gone to Shamanyang and asked about today's amulet.

I am counting on you then.
