Back To the Beginning
The Road to Breithorn Harbor

A long journey to cross the ocean. We only need to pass one night to arrive at the port of Breithorn by noon tomorrow.

There's nothing special about me and Noland doing on the ship. We just lay down and chatted for a moment and then went out to see the sunset with the other passengers.

From the boat, we could see the yellowish sun as if it was slowly beginning to sink to the bottom of the sea, and finally leaving us for a moment in darkness.

Please note, the ship we use today is one of the best ships owned by the port of Monte Rosa. Therefore the room to stay or the room for us to sleep is comparable to the nobles.

Well, originally this was indeed a ship reserved for nobles.

There's a lot of stuff I don't know about in this room... Only Noland fiddled and told me the function.

After Noland told me the function of the tools, I didn't need them at all... So I let it.

I slept leaving Noland who was still not satisfied fiddling with the tools.

......................

The morning had come, when I woke up my body felt strange. Maybe because I woke up no longer in the same place as before.

Earlier I fell asleep and woke up in one of the rooms in Evelyn and Ms. Ariadna's house. Since many of the rooms were empty, Noland and I had their own rooms and were responsible with them.

We wanted to stop staying at their house but they could make a strong excuse to keep us there.

And in the end, me and Noland stayed in their house until the last time.

I am so grateful to them.

When I woke up, coincidentally Noland on the bed next to me woke up.

I realized I was greeting him too. "Good morning, Noland," I said.

I'm working around the table.

"Ehm... Good morning, Arthur... Heh?! Morning?" Noland immediately sat on his bed, as if forgetting his drowsiness earlier.

"Why morning?" many confusions.

"I have to go to the Association immediately!!! Lots of documents waiting. The schedule! I have to make a schedule and give it to Eh... Uh..." Noland finally realized it.

"ahaha! It has become a habit..."

"Huh... You're right Arthur, I had a reflex to think about it, right," Noland said, placing his hand on his forehead.

Noland was assigned by Mr. Meinhard to take care of and organize his various documents as well as schedules and other matters... It is almost the same as the job of secretary.

While I was assigned to supervise in the field. Are the workers working well? Is the work step right? Is the content on the material perfect? and sometimes my brain gets squeezed by it to get some ideas.

It's very difficult for workers to admit me to watching them at work. They do not want to be ruled by someone with a different age from them. But with time and some events, they finally acknowledged me more and began to listen and follow my advice and orders.

Maybe this is what Mr. Meinhard called an exercise.

For Noland... I don't know the obstacles at all, he never told me.

"Hey, Nolanda. How about we grab some breakfast in the dining area over there?" take me to Noland who's still trying to make a total sense of himself.

"Hm? Breakfast...? Ah, yes. I remember that. I'm coming, Arthur!"

In full clothes as well as with the gray scarf and black gloves that were my trademark, I went walking towards the room door to look at the situation and while waiting for Noland.

Maybe because I was used to it, I no longer felt the waves from the bottom of the floor. It was as if I had already fused into one with the ship I was aboard now.

I was waiting in front of our room, on the outside there was a passageway leading to the outside of the ship that emitted a light that captivated anyone who saw it.

A few people started walking around in front of me from the workers to some high-class families. Right now I was leaning against the wall that was the separation between the hallway and our room to monitor the conditions.

Paying attention to something more detailed has probably been a habit ever since I worked with Mr. Meinhard.

Of course the passersby in front of me always looked at me for a moment, making me a little uncomfortable.

The person who passed me in front of me always walked in pairs or groups, rarely did I see anyone alone.

Not yet had time to think further, the door beside me opened slowly which indicated that Noland was ready to leave.

Sure enough, a few moments later appeared the figure of Noland with his full brown clothes that he really liked.

For your information, the clothes she currently wears in front of me are her birthday gifts that are celebrated with Ms. Ariadna, Evelyn, and of course me.

In addition to being a birthday gift, the clothes are also a gift for his hard work with Mr. Meinhard so that perfume sales are increasing and famous.

"Heh... You like her so much?" ask him who seems ready to leave at any time.

"certain... I didn't expect to get this before" Noland replied happy about it.

"It's not just you who don't expect it, I also don't expect that you forget your birthday, haha. Did you really forget that time?"

Me and Evelyn and Ms. Ariadna surprised Noland on her birthday, but Noland's response was confused... He asked what really happened.

"I forgot that time, Arthur! I don't know why I didn't think about that kind of thing at all."

"It looks like Mr. Meinhard has already managed to influence you. Noland, let's go right now."

I agreed that Noland would come along next to me to go get some breakfast.

......................

Arriving at the dining area, I was shocked because of the crowds of people inside here. Not like last night.

If you look at a glance I can not see a single table and empty chair, but there must be some empty seats if sought earnestly.

It was predicted that at noon we would arrive at the port of Breithorn, so this was our last chance to be able to enjoy the noble class ship food.

There are still many different types of ships available in Monte Rosa, but somehow Mr. Meinhard urged us to use this transport ship?

Did he expect something would happen? ... Seems not. Well, although actually many people around us who seem to not believe that we are able to ride this ship.

With the training from Mr.Meinhard, we already had a bit of a no-brainer and kept going to grab some of the food provided up ahead.

After picking up some of the food I recognized, we did not bother to look for any more since many people had finished with the food and left to enjoy the rest of the time.

Because we will be exploring the kingdom of Breithorn later. We need a lot of energy right now! So then...

Welcome to everyone~
