Lin Qiu also unleashed his culinary skills, managing to draw all of Mona's actions and expressions one by one.
Do you think Lin Qiu is Mona's chef? No, he's a water-type chef.
Now you know why the first elemental power he exchanged for was water.
Now readers are going to become fans too! Mona is so cute, readers are all becoming Arnold!
Xin Yan didn't have many feelings about the island; she just asked the travelers if they felt sorry for her performance.
She didn't play rock this time, not because she disliked it, but because music is a 'language' for expressing emotions, and you should play the right music for the right occasion.
If given the chance next time, she could also play rock music for travelers.
Lin Qiuzhen really wanted Wendy to learn from this professional attitude. The last courage test was ruined because Wendy insisted on playing the drums.
I was about to see Little Fufu cry!! Pay me back! Or you can cry in front of me!
Unfortunately, Wendy showed no remorse whatsoever; his attention was drawn to the Traveler and Xin Yan's suggestion to "invite Wendy for a drink."
They were going to offer to buy me drinks! Wendy's eyes were brimming with 'tears,' a testament to his deep love for alcohol.
It's a pity that I invited him for drinks because his future self introduced this tourist paradise to everyone, but his present self doesn't have that, so the drinks are gone.
Wendy looked at Lin Qiu with a resentful expression, only to find that Lin Qiu was also looking at her with a resentful expression.
What kind of look is that? Did I get caught stealing their wine? Did you tell me to drink it? Is this some kind of honey trap trying to ensnare the gods?
Okay, I admit I drank a tiny bit too much, but really just a tiny bit.
Not daring to meet Lin Qiu's gaze, Wendy continued reading, while the last remaining person, Wan Ye, paused on his island to bid farewell to the past.
He wouldn't dwell on the past, but with this last chance, he should take a good look at the scenery here.
[Manyo: "Before I leave, let me take one last look at the wind and the moon here."]
You can only say that cultured people speak differently; just look at their choice of words and sentence structure.
If it were me, I could only say, "Holy crap, look at this moon, it's so big and so round."
The story truly ends here; the protagonists' tale is over, but the island still holds another story.
In addition to the main characters on the island, Lin Qiu also wrote a side story about the 'big meatball' ship.
The story goes that after the traveler finished dealing with the dream, he found the giant meatball again and learned that it was actually a large pirate ship under the command of 'Ako Hyakume-ki'.
A pirate ship with talking crew members—this isn't a giant meatball, it's the Going Merry!
Readers will recognize Akako Hyakume-ki, as she has appeared in previous stories.
But how come his pirate ship is so small? It's cramped with just a few travelers, so what makes it so big?
The 'Big Meatball' tells the traveler that this ship is not its original body, and its original body must still be nearby. It needs to find its original body to go back and pick up its companions.
Although it can talk, it is just a boat. It won't move without a driver and can only float. So it asked the traveler to take it to find something.
If the traveler helps it find the 'body', it will tell the traveler the location of the 'treasure'.
As you know, the traveler and Paimon have never been able to resist such temptations, and they immediately agreed.
The 'Big Meatball' didn't actually know where the treasure was hidden, but it could 'sense' its location, which it called 'pirate's intuition'.
The first treasure is on a small island—no, it should be called a reef, it's too small here.
There was nothing on the island or reef except for a broken ship; there was no treasure at all.
The broken ship was in a terrible state, covered in dust and overgrown with weeds.
This has prompted readers to wonder: could the giant meatball be sensing its own body?
In the story, Paimon and the traveler, having failed to find the treasure, return to inquire about the 'big meatball'.
[The two women, hands on hips, exclaimed in unison: "Hmph! Big meatball!"]
"There's nothing on the island except for a section of broken shipwreck."
'Big Meatball' also felt something was wrong. It clearly sensed that this was the place. There was nothing it could do but take the traveler to the next place.
On the way, Big Meatball was still lamenting that he wished he could speak sooner so he could chat with his companions.
As we chatted, we arrived at the second place, which, unsurprisingly, was another section of a broken ship. This time, the broken ship was on the top of the island, and there was less weeds covering it.
However, without the cover of weeds, everyone could clearly see that the paint on the hull had peeled off, revealing its dilapidated state.
This almost confirmed the readers' previous guesses; this must be the body of the giant meatball.
It seems that the big meatball's 'body' is already pineapple-pineapple (broken and battered).
The traveler took photos and showed them to the big meatball, asking it to judge.
The giant meatball denied this possibility, as it was very confident in its 'body,' being the exquisite craftsmanship of the shipwrights of Qinglai Island!
[Big Meatball laughed and retorted, "Haha, how could that be? This broken ship, where did it even come from? It's scattered like this, it's truly tragic."]
It boasts about how large and exquisite its 'body' is, telling travelers that its 'body' must still be moored somewhere.
"Then you'll see... my side panels are painted with the finest paint, making me look incredibly majestic when sailing the seas."
The big meatball spoke with great pride; it could practically picture itself in that state.
The once magnificent ship sailed the seas, but now it is less than a tenth the size of that ship.
A large ship sailed past it, and the waves it stirred up were enough to make it lose its balance. How cool was that! I can almost picture it!
Then why not just believe it?
[The big meatball said proudly, "You'll see when you see me. I'm worlds apart from this broken ship..."]
Big Meatball was optimistic, and Paimon easily believed him.
However, readers are not optimistic; they are not as easily fooled as Paimon.
Or perhaps Paimon is simply more inclined to believe in beautiful things, while most people are much more realistic.
----------
Character Voice - Mona: About being tricked
"I'm not someone who's easily fooled. What? You know Lin Qiu's divination methods? Tell me!"
Chapter 464 Hibiki Asase, what have you been protecting?
From the readers' perspective, such a large ship, even if it didn't break apart, would likely suffer the consequences of prolonged neglect...
Fortunately, the feelings involved this time weren't deep, so this scheme wouldn't hurt me. With that thought in mind, I continued reading.
The traveler arrived at the third place the giant meatball had experienced; this place was even smaller, just a reef.
There were only two planks on the reef, and a bird's nest was built under the planks.
Still no treasure, the big meatball is still trying to find something for itself.
It means that finding bird eggs on reefs during long voyages at sea is already a rare delicacy, and for pirates, it is a treasure.
Even Paimon, who is usually easily fooled, didn't believe these remarks.
Just kidding, Paimon is easy to fool elsewhere, but when it comes to treasure, Paimon is very shrewd.
Aside from the bird eggs, all that's left here are those two wooden planks, which the traveler tries to touch.
This touch brought the illustration to life, changing the traveler's perspective to that of the ship, showing a bright, sunny sky that makes the ocean sparkle, and the ship is at the seaside.
Dozens of people tightened the rope, shouting "Hey!" as they strained together.
These dozens of ropes are pulling a magnificent ship, whose new paint shines even brighter than the ocean under the sunlight.
The large ship crashed into the water, waves crashed on the surface, and the biting cold corroded the hull. The ship was about to begin its journey to conquer the ocean.
"Auntie Shrine Maiden, this is another amazing ship! You should give it a good name!"
"May this ship protect you and bring you home safely; therefore, let's name this place after it..."
As the scene ended, the big meatball's voice became somewhat heavy, no longer as cheerful as before.
[Big Meatball's deep voice: "I've finally figured out where this plank came from, Traveler, Paimon. What you're seeing is my memory."]
When a boat enters the water, the side planks usually go in first, and this is the side plank of the "big meatball" on this reef.
In addition, the traveler has a strong sense of inspiration and, with Nasita's help, was able to see that memory.
The giant meatball understood; what it sensed wasn't treasure, but rather a connection to its own 'body'.
[The big meatball chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I was laughing at that broken ship before, but I never thought I'd be the one laughing at myself in the end. Haha... I've really embarrassed myself this time."]
It was smiling, but there was no real smile.
Just a moment ago it was proudly boasting about how powerful it was, but now it is facing a cruel reality.
Now it was Paimon's turn to comfort Big Meatball. Although she was greedy and had low emotional intelligence, she was really gentle.
Big Meatball had originally planned to make a trade with the traveler using the treasure, but now that the treasure was gone, the trade was naturally canceled.
But Paimon said they were willing to accompany Big Meatball to the last two places they could sense, without needing any transaction, because they were friends!
The reader had a bad feeling; why did the emotions seem to be getting increasingly off?
I think I'm starting to get a little emotional? What's going on? We're not even that close.
The fourth location is on an island, where a group of Hilichurls are digging something. The traveler gently sees the Hilichurls off, only to discover that they are digging up a wooden sword.
The wooden sword, which looks like a toy, triggers an illustration again when touched.
Hundreds of feet of waves crashed against the ship's hull, which looked somewhat damaged due to the battle.
In the pitch-black night, a man whose face was obscured leaped onto the deck.
"Give up, Zaemon! Beg for mercy now, and you might still live!"
The man with the sword pointed at him did not panic; he remained extremely calm and retorted:
"I am Zaemon! I am Kiyora's immortal demon!"
"I am a true man of the sea, and I will never yield to the mercy of my enemy!"
The two men clashed weapons, their fight growing increasingly intense.
But somewhere they weren't looking, a pair of purple wings spread out!
Suddenly, a bright flash appeared in the dim sky—it was lightning!
The cry resounded throughout the universe, and a thunderous purple lightning swept in, reaching the heavens and the earth.
Flashes of light, a blinding purple all around.
Thunder rumbled, an incessant thunder that filled my ears, each clap making my heart race.
The towering waves gradually turned into whirlpools, making it impossible for the large ship to discern its direction. The people on board could only crawl on the deck and grab onto anything they could.
Finally, what came into view was a thunderbird, soaring through the sky like a celestial being.
As everyone knows, it was Asahi Hibiki who released Kapachiri's lingering regret.
Previously, we saw it from Kiyotomi's perspective, but this time it's from Akako Hyakume's perspective.
Previously, it was either Qinglaixiang's incomplete perspective, or Capachelli's own perspective, or the perspective of a terrible movie that wiped it out in one shot.
Now everyone has a more direct view of Capachelli's power, and this is only the residue!
Such a terrifying Thunderbird was taken down by Thor with a single arrow! What's there to say?
Although Capachelli had gone mad at the time and lost her mind, unable to dodge, it was still terrifying that she could instantly kill such a being.
That's where the memory ends; it cuts off after a thunderstorm.
[Big Meatball: "Can mere resentment possess such terrifying power? Wow, it's truly unimaginable."]
However, it cares more about Qinglai Island and its 'home' than this terrifying lightning meatball.
[The large meatball spoke with unusual impatience: "Traveler, have you ever been to Qinglai Island? Do you know what happened to Qinglai Island afterward...?"]
The traveler had actually been there, so she told Big Meatball about the current situation of Qinglai Island.
[Big Meatball: "We stood up against the shogunate precisely because we didn't want our hometown to be ruled by the shogunate, and to protect the island's inhabitants..."]
[“The island of Seirai, which we were willing to fight against the shogunate to protect, ended up like this... My lady... why is this happening...?”]
