Another journey

No cross, no crown

"I can't believe that we have to buy food!" Kluke was upset.

The two girls and Zola stood in the only food shop on the island. Their assignment was quite easy: They had to buy nutriments for the group.

"I see, you're determination is definetely not to buy food." Zola said. "Well, at least it's better than the boys job." She added quickly, trying to cheer Kluke up. And really, the girl smiled.

'But it's really better.' Zola thought.

And she nearly emphasised the boys.

But as they say:

A miss is as good as a mile.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"I can't believe we have to clean the boat, maro!" Marumaro was indignant while he scrubbed the deck with a dust mop.

"Yeah! Why us and not the girls? !" Shu asked angrily. Then he added, enraged and sour, "By the way, where on earth is Jiro actually? He has been away since half an eternity..."

"Since half an hour, you mean." Marumaro corrected him. "Anyways, where's Konrad? He's missing too... Hey, the girls are back!" He suddenly shouted overjoyed.

"You know what?" Shu said delighted to Marumaro. "I think the boat is clean enough!" Marumaro nodded like that was pretty obvious and they ran into the living area, where the girls placed the food on the fitting places.

Konrad already sat in a armchair in the living room, looking happily when the others came in.

"Can we watch TV now? The boat is clean and Zola, Kluke and Bouquet are back too!" Shu begged the knight master.

He chuckled. "Of course."

That was the sign for which Marumaro had waited since they had seen the living room the first time.

He grabbed the remote and turned the TV on.

While they watched a TV-show named 'The cupcake master', Jiro went into the living room. He stood in the doorframe, arms crossed and looked very annoyed.

Shu shouted, "Aww, Jiro, are you gracing us with your presence again?"

But Marumaro said, sounding panicked, "I'm hungry, maro! I'm starving again!"

With a wistful glance he starred into the TV, where many peoples were making cupcakes as fast as possible.

Zola sighed deeply; then she applied to Konrad, "The building behind your boat... Is it a restaurant?"

Konrad nodded. "Shall we go now?" He asked.

Zola looked over at Marumaro and Shu, who panted whenever they saw one of the cupcakes.

"Yeah, I think we should." She said, eyebrows raised up.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

The menu cards lied already on their table, and the group tried to decide what to eat.

Which was, like always, everything but easy.

While everyone looked into their menu cards, Zola threw a glance at Shu, who looked at a white ball placed in a bowl in the middle of the table like hypnotized.

"Are you okay, Shu?" She asked him, actually a little bit worried.

Shu didn't avert his gaze of the ball. "Do you know what this is, Zola?" He asked curioulsy.

"No idea..." Zola answered thoughtfully.

Konrad peeked over the edge of his menu card.

And his eyes widened.

"Shu, don't-" He shouted shocked.

Shu shrugged his shoulders and sticked the 'it' in his mouth.

A second later, he disgorged it.

Everyone looked at him surprised.

"Garlic butter..." He chocked.

Everyone laughed, besides Shu who looked pretty disgusted, and Konrad who shook his head in disbelief.

"Well," the latter said, trying to catch the attention of the group. "Tomorrow we will start. But I have to warn you: My boat is moving faster than the ships you know."

"Will we get seasick, maro?" Marumaro sounded worried.

"There are really a few things you shouldn't do if you don't wanna get seasick." Konrad answered.

"Order number one: Don't eat too much, especially no sweets." Bouquet tilted her head.

"Why not?" She asked sulky.

"It's possible that you have to throw up then..." Konrad explained, and Bouquet swallowed.

The former sighed, but continued anyway.

"Order number two: If you feel sick, don't lie down. You should go outside, maybe you will need fresh air." Konrad looked at each of them, making sure that everyone paid their attention to him.

"Number three: Don't jump out off the boat; we won't get you."

Everyone laughed. Well, everyone besides Jiro.

The latter just smiled and chuckled.

"OH MY GOSH! JIRO IS SMILING AND CHUCKLING! THE WORLD MUST BE ENDING!" Shu shouted, as loud as it could be called a miracle if someone wouldn't have heard it- in a circuit of 100 miles.

The group looked at him.

Then-

"SHUT UP!"
