Throwing someone out of the window was a good way of waking someone up, a good and dangerous way and I would've died if not for my borg.
"Ethan?" I turned to the voice only to find the Princess Kougyoku and her attendant who was shooting daggers at me. Now to do a rough check.
I still have my head attached along with my four limbs, aside for being mysteriously shirtless and wrapped in some sort of blanket and standing on a crater I was all in all fine.
"Princess." I greeted as I stood up, my staff wasn't with me when I searched around for it. It was still early in the morning, hugging the blanket closer to me I let out a sneeze.
"What happened to you?" She raised a sleeve and tilted her head
"I don't even know myself." My memories from last night was foggy, all I remember was waking up to freckles and with speed I didn't know a human could have, he wrapped me in a blanket and threw me out.
"Did you have breakfast yet? Do you want to join me? We could have it in one of the pavilions by the courtyard." Since she offered and I didn't even have dinner last night I agreed much to her attendant's displeasure. But I was hungry and would not let this guy ruin my meal.
Knowing Kougyoku's culture I wrapped the blanket around me so that it would cover my upper half completely, she ordered servants of her own to fetch us breakfast as we sat inside the pavilion.
The silence was kind of awkward as she would occasionally glance at me and covered the half of her face with her sleeves. The arrogant and childish Kougyoku seem to vanish as I remembered how she greeted Aladdin.
"I-I heard you are going to capture a dungeon." She started her voice was soft that I had to strain my ears to actually know what she was saying.
" I couldn't pass up the opportunity." I responded seeing how hard she's trying, she was too awkward that I couldn't help but wonder what her life was at the palace.
The conversation seem to go nowhere and since I'm a bit curious I decided to start it up again.
"Princess, what's your status in the Empire?" I knew I had hit a nerve when Ka Koubun's glaring increased ten-fold.
"Eight." Pretty low, but she was a dungeon capturer, still seeing as she's the eight she was probably still looked down since she was just the daughter of a concubine. If the Empire was willing to just let her, a dungeon capturer be brought in a possible enemy country she was either underestimated or she wasn't just an ambassador like Hakuryuu.
From eavesdropping on conversations and hearing things by Laura's stories, it was clear that Hakuryuu's blood sister was Hakuei and Kougyoku and this Kouen was probably a half sibling or cousin. She seemed like a typical princess, dressed in expensive silks, make-up and elaborate hairstyles but she was also a dungeon capturer.
A Djinn chose her, which means she had the potential to be King.
"So you're the youngest?" I asked
"No, Hakuryuu is. It's just by a year though."
"How many siblings do you have?"
"I have three older brothers, Kouen-niisama the first prince, Koumei-niisama the second prince, Kouha-san the third prince and Hakuryuu the fourth prince." All Kou? Except for Hakuryuu "Hakuei-san the first princess, and six more older sisters." Why is Hakuei the first princess when Hakuryuu is just a fourth prince? Normally he would be the first prince since they're blood related but Kougyoku haven't mentioned anyone who's name started at Hak besides the two, the way she didn't bother to name her other sisters and how her mood dampened makes me think that she was really mistreated by the six, but she seems to respect her brothers calling them niisama.
After my question breakfast was served and as usual there was fish or some type of seafood present, I think I need to talk to Laura about cooking pancakes. I requested some coffee because for some reason I feel like I didn't have much sleep. Breakfast was silent but it wasn't an awkward one as the both of us were fixated on the food, I realized she was using chopsticks she probably wasn't trained to use western cutleries.
"Where are you from?" she asked before sipping tea, after breakfast the plates were cleared away only to be replaced by tea and some sweets.
"I don't really know I'm an orphan." It was the truth, even if I was taken in by my aunt and uncle I literally have no similarities to the two, be it appearance or attitude. People here think I'm from Kou and people back at Earth say I looked kind of Asian.
Kougyoku looked shocked for a second before she composed herself, bringing down the cup of tea.
"Have you tried searching for your parents?" I shook my head, my aunt says my parents were already dead whenever I would ask how or why they never gave me an answer.
"Even if I did try I have no leads." I did try to search for them but for some reason I couldn't even find any details about them, my birth certificate was mysteriously hidden away, only my aunt and uncle had access to it (that's why it was hard looking for a job). It was like they haven't even existed in the first place.
" I see, it is a big world after all." I sipped my tea just in time for the great bell to ring meaning two hours had passed. Standing up I gave a nod to the princess.
"I'll be leaving first, I still have some stuff to do." She nodded and waved me away, I still need to get my staff and magic carpet back it was still probably at Ja'far's room.
Now how does one sneak inside a fire breathing Ja'far's room?
It would be two days before we would leave the dungeon and I couldn't help but be giddy in excitement, it was the first time I would be riding a ship and the first time I would get out of the country island. Everyone was training hard and of course I would join in occasionally sparring with Ethan. Speaking about Ethan there was something strange about him the past few days, ever since he got thrown out of the window he had been strangely silent most of the time as if he was thinking about something. Whenever I would ask about it he would brush it off saying he was just thinking about the dungeon, Ethan might be a good liar but I spent years with him so I knew if he would lie or not. He knows this of course but he was still not opening up.
I had a feeling it had something to do with Ja'far the two never got along the first time we met but after me and Sinbad witnessed him take Ja'far to his room I thought that maybe there was improvement on their relationship. Sinbad says Ja'far was pulling more all-nighters than usual and it was worrying him along with the other generals.
I let out a sigh, with my left arm at my back and my dagger at my right I proceeded to attack the marble column, it had a few dents here and there results of my attacks earlier, I'm pretty sure Sinbad wouldn't mind me destroying one column.
"Stop attacking the column please." The sound of Sinbad's voice startled me a bit, lately he's been hanging around me more so than usual, not that I mind his company. He usually invites me to tea or would just strike up a conversation.
"You want to be it's replacement?" he chuckled and shook his head, I wonder how can this guy stand me at all, every time he would strike up a conversation I would be either sarcastic or just plain rude.
"You'll be leaving in two days, have you made preparations?" Oh, since he had been to dungeons himself maybe I could learn a thing or two.
"Can you suggest some things?" he brightened at that
"Why don't you come with me to the treasury?" Treasury?!
The treasury itself was typically one big room full of gold, silver and other precious elements. I had to squint my eyes as the sunlight hit the piles of treasure making it shine. Weapons, chalices, jewellery you guessed it, this room had everything.
"Some things I've collected in my travels and conquering dungeons." He said as he knocked on a gold chalice.
"Now if you're going to a dungeon, you need a better weapon than that." He pointed to the dagger strapped to my waist, I had two one was the dagger Alibaba had handed to me before and the other was the one Hina bought for me, the hilt had a blue gem embedded on it and it's blade was a bit curved.
"Not only a weapon at least some light armour, maybe some greaves to protect your legs and some bracers to protect your arms even if you aren't an archer." He suggested and started to search for something in the pile of metal and jewels, I watched with furrowed brows he set out a sword and placed by his side. It was similar to Alibaba's sword, except the design was much more simpler the hilt looked like silver some amethysts surrounding it, it was covered with a simple leather sheath the blade curved. I picked up the sword, the grip wasn't that bad and it wasn't that light nor heavy, just right to inflict some serious damage, against humans anyway.
He was still searching around the pile and set out what looked like some metal wrapped to protect the legs, it was made of iron and had some sort of symbol, a bird? Etched onto it. I slipped it on, it covered just the top of my ankle to just a few inches below my knees. It was a bit heavy but after a few walking I got used to the weight. Sinbad glanced at me, nodding he then again attacked the pile. Walking over to him, just in time he handed me what looked like the ones wonder woman wore at her arms, a diamond shaped sapphire was embedded on the front.
I slipped them on and proceeded to bring my arms together as the metal let out a harsh clink, I walked around the treasury in circles trying to get familiar with the added weight on my body.
"Perfect, with those on then at least you'll be partly safe. The Dungeon creatures are harsh to face." He lectured as I nodded motioning him to continue
"When in the dungeon the Djinn controls everything, that means it's his or her domain to control. Watch out for hidden traps or passages, the testing depends on the Djinn some might test you through riddles, some would test you by the dungeon creatures. Your goal is to get to the treasure room that's where obviously the treasure is and where the Djinn resides. When you arrive at the dungeon you pass through the entrance which is the starting point, try not to get separated." He explained
"You'll feel like some kind of membrane feeling when you enter the entrance, now another thing important is that time runs differently on the Dungeon and of the outside world. You may feel like it's just hours but you never know that it might've been months already so try to conquer the dungeon as quickly as possible."
"All right I've made it this far, I'm going to conquer that dungeon!." I raised one of my hands
"You do realize that you could die there." I didn't like how the tone of his voice changed, placing both hands of my hips a faced him.
"What's there to worry for? We have a two magicians one of them is a Magi, a finalis , a dungeon capturer, a prince." Then pointing to myself "And a swordswoman. I'm with friends in which I trust so I'm not worried at all." Honestly even though it sounds unbelievable I don't feel nervous at all just plain excitement. But Sinbad's tone haven't changed as he frowned.
"I do suggest that you take this seriously Laura, in my home country more than 10,000 men had died on Baal's dungeon and even if I did conquer it there were times that I faced death." I let out a huff a bit annoyed
"You had Drakon with you didn't you?" Sahel did tell me brief tales about Drakon, imagine my surprise when I found out that he was the first general Sinbad met
"Sinbad, I have more than one person to help me out. Besides, you were just like us when you had your first dungeon, completely normal and human, stop worrying didn't you promise to stop underestimating me?" though I wasn't coming out as harsh I didn't miss the dark look in his eyes, even if it only lasted a second, it didn't look like him at all.
"I understand, if a woman could tackle the High King of the Seven Seas then a dungeon would be an easy match for her." he winked, the look earlier disappearing completely leaving no traces behind.
"It's a creature of the southern sea!"
"A creature of the southern see has appeared!"
The shouts of the crew made me snap awake from the hammock I was sleeping at, its been days since we've been at sea and I was expecting for a southern sea creature to attack, don't get me wrong but I would like to see a close up of the creature but did it really have to happen on my nap time?
Groggily I made my way to the outside of the bunk just in time to see Pisti calm the creature back into the ocean, seeing her riding on one of the birds made my mood even worse not that they tried to snap off my limb or anything like that, animals for some reason had always taken a liking to me I didn't mind it but, with a bird the size of a motorcycle constantly tries to get your attention anyone with the right mind would freak out.
"You're a good obedient girl aren't you?" she caressed the creature's chin "Now return to the sea!" the creature completely charmed by the small woman did as it was told. Yawning a bit I walked over to Morimor who was staring at the previous events
"As expected, as long as we travel together with Pisti we'll be safe." The soldiers behind us exclaimed, before I could ask where the boys were two dolphins appeared carrying Aladdin and Alibaba. Pisti who was still at the bird turned to us both.
"Do you want to try Mor? Ethan?"
"But I've never swam in the sea before." Morimor declined
"Why not?" I said stripping off my shirt, it looked fun and I wanted this body to wake up from the nap earlier.
"It's alright, the dolphins are docile. They're friendly thanks to my flute!" she explained to Morimor and tried looking for a dolphin for me.
"With my rukh and my voice, I can match the wavelengths of their rukh and make the animals my friends." Though household vessels weren't on par with metal vessels they could do great things as well.
Riding on a dolphin was the most terrifying and fun swim I had, I couldn't count the hundreds of times I thought I would fall off. But it popped my joints and stretched me so I was as awake as I could ever be.
After the swim we dried ourselves with the towels Morimor brought for us
"Ahh that was a good swim." Alibaba said with a smile
"It was incredibly fun!" Aladdin exclaimed
"Could've died but I survived so I guess it's alright." I shrugged, Pisti wasn't affected by my dark humor as she gave us a smile
"Really? That's great!"
"Yeah thanks! Pis….ti?"
"Shouldn't you call me Miss like you do with Yamu?" Aladdin who seemed to compare their height looked confused
" 'Miss' you say?"
"Yes I'm a year older than Alibaba!" because of her height and youthful appearance Pisti was often mistook as a child, but since I got to know her more than the two I understood their confusion. Stepping forward she tugged on Alibaba's shirt.
"Even though I look like this, I'm older than you, plus I have much more experience than you!" I slapped a hand on my forehead as Alibaba blushed, this woman..
"Don't give the kids ideas Pisti." I scolded and before we knew Aladdin was in front of Pisti his hands trying to grab Pistis's chest but seeing as Pisti lacked any he took a step back, disappointed.
"Miss?" If I remember she did grope Laura on their first meeting, kid or not I do not tolerate perverts, grabbing the kid I forced my knuckles on his head and he let out a yelp as Pisti hugged her chest screaming.
"Wahh you're hurting me!" he shouted, was his voice always this feminine?
"Then don't be a pervert." I scolded
"Everyone, lunch is ready!" the energetic voice of Laura made us all face her, she and Hakuryuu stood side to side with trays on their hands.
Various dishes of fish, meat, soup and rice were served as everyone fawned over them,
"To make a guest, furthermore a prince of a country and Lady Laura cook!"
"Ah don't worry, I couldn't just sit back and do nothing since I was indebted to you so this is my thanks." Hakuryuu humbly said
"What's wrong with us cooking? I did promise Aladdin after all." Laura winked at the blue hared boy as we all sat down to eat.
"My sister taught me that I should provide for my own necessities as much as possible." Is he poor or something? I've read cases like these, even if they were titled prince sometimes they don't even own anything at all. But that's a good way to teach a younger brother I suppose.
"Wow, your sister is strict towards her little brother." Pisti said, Hakuryuu at the mention of her sister gave out a fond smile.
"Yes she is almost like a mother to me."
"I see, and its thanks to her that you've become such a reliable boy, in the future you will be a perfect husband." Pisti fawned over him
"That's right, men who could cook great dishes, furthermore a prince are rare to find." Laura agreed.
"That's right Hakuryuu is so reliable even though he is so young."
"Your cooking is so good!" both boys stated while eating messily
"You should thank Lady Laura as well." Hakuryuu smiled towards them.
"You should learn a little from him, okay?" Pisti scolded and even I agree.
Hakuryuu and Pisti seemed to have a world of their own as the rest of us stared at the two.
"When I heard he was a prince from the Empire, I imagined a quite different person." Morimor started.
"Yeah, but he is a prince with social standing right? The dungeon conquest, even though it's something really dangerous I wonder why he was so anxious to come with us." Alibaba stated
"He's probably the least lethal member of the royal family." I said as they all looked at me
"Least lethal?" Aladdin tilted his head
"I talked to Kougyoku before, She, Hakuei and the rest of the princes are probably also metal vessel users while he isn't. I say he didn't just come to Sindria to study."
"Was he ordered by the Empire or something?" Alibaba questioned as I shook my head, hearing about his scheme before meant that capturing a dungeon was probably one of his plans.
"I don't think so, he is a prince yet he knows how to cook which kind of implies that he was neglected." It was common of course but I have a feeling Hakuryuu's mother isn't a concubine or consort seeing as his sister had a high status "Alibaba, even if you were illegitimate, people still took care of you right?" Alibaba nodded
"With Kou's culture, it was common for the children born of concubines to be disrespected unless their mothers were favoured by the Emperor himself. But sometimes the mothers don't even care about their children at all."
"That's horrible!" Aladdin exclaimed
"He's right, even in my country the king could have a harem if he wanted to. Our culture on polygamy is kind of similar to Kou. If you were favoured by the king meant you would have a comfortable life at the palace." Alibaba said a faraway look on his eyes
"Huh? But I thought everyone who lived in the palace had comfortable lives." Well he's just a kid, he still has a lot to learn
"That's not really the case every time, do you know that the Emperor's harem isn't allowed to leave the palace? They'll be stuck in there forever." I explained
"But what about their families?" Morimor asked
"The least they could do is visit the palace, though you'd be lucky if the Emperor would permit you since no one is allowed to have contact with anyone of the harem." Alibaba answered
"That's like the Emperor treats the women like he owns them." Laura said as me and Allibaba spoke at the same time.
"That's because he does." Alibaba gestured for me to continue
"Offering a woman to the Emperor is like offering him a chest of gold, that's just how it is. Women are often used as bargaining chips, only a few are recognized by their talents." Which is probably why Kougyoku captured a dungeon, she wanted to prove herself but she was still used as a chess piece and almost married Alibaba's brother.
"You sure know a lot Ethan-nii."
"Nah, we both still have a lot to learn."
When Aladdin spotted the island everyone headed to the side of the ship to get a closer look, it was a cluster of islands with odd shapes and plants growing around them, strange I don't see some building, was it behind the island?
"Is the 61st dungeon just after this reef?" Alibaba questioned and pointed to the cluster
"But a big ship like this will not do, we will have to get aboard a small boat." Ethan explained, after our conversation I couldn't help but be a little jealous on how much does Ethan know, I did try to read but after discovering how my language had changed completely it was kind of a shock to me.
"Ah that's right! This island isn't part of Sindria's territory, there are natives here so don't do anything rude!." Pisti reminded
"Natives?" Aladdin asked
"I wonder what kind of people they are." Mor said while carrying a pack
Actually after my shock, I did read about the Torran people, how their language was different from the rest of the world. Turns out that this world had only one language so anyone from different parts of the world could understand each other completely.
And another thing that kept me excited was because the Torran language could be found in dungeons
"We've arrived!"
The island was surrounded by odd plants that curled at the top and were way more taller than us, two mountains were visible as we docked at a port. I grabbed my pack containing the armour that Sinbad had picked out for m even though Mor insisted that she carry it as well I declined, she was already carrying most of our stuff anyway.
"If a woman could tackle the High King of the Seven Seas then a dungeon would be an easy match for her."
Your damn right about that idiot king.
The port was lively men, women and children with some tattoos on their bodies were either fishing, selling their wares or just playing surrounded the ports. They did look like Indians with their feather ornaments, face paint and clothes. Me and Ethan, being the oldest ones around tried maintaining everyone on one group as most of them were distracted. Though I did see some people who weren't part of the Torran people and looked like us.
"Where's the garrison? He told us to go there first." Alibaba put his hand above his eyes, Sinbad did say something about Alibaba meeting someone but he didn't mention who.
"Hey you're late Alibaba we've been waiting for you." A voice suddenly said as all of us turned to face the said voice.
The trio looked shocked, while me, Hakuryuu and Ethan just looked at the two men in confusion. They were both wearing what looked like the Torran people's traditional clothing, face paint and all. But I kinda have a feeling they weren't part of the Torran people at all. One of them was pudgy a permanent frown on his chubby face while the one who I assumed did speak looked frail and a bit skinny a smile on his face.
"Brother Sahbmad?! Brother Ahbmad?!" Alibaba's brothers? They don't look like this blonde ray of sunshine at all! Then that means one of these two was the previous King of Balbadd, I haven't really heard anything positive about him but to think that Sinbad would take them in as well.
"Hehe, you were surprised right? Long time no see Alibaba." The taller one spoke, seeing the atmosphere around him and Alibaba, this must be the deputy king and the other one was the king itself.
"We were entrusted with guiding you a-and um." I looked at Hakuryuu in concern but he just greeted them again with his hands clasped in front of him
"Sinbad has already told us of the situation with the Kou Empire's prince, please don't be concerned." He continued.
"Ah I was really surprised! What's with the appearance? What are you doing right now?" Alibaba began to pester the taller brother.
"Sinbad didn't say anything to you eh, we are working here on this island thanks to Sinbad's arrangements, as members of Sindria's archaeology investigation group."
"So that means you guys try to understand the Torran people eh." I muttered as the taller brother smiled at me.
"That's right, this island is the island of the Torran nation."
Everyone looked shocked at our mentions of the Torran people, the two brothers began to lead us around the village, I could see some members of Sindria as well wearing those cream coloured robes as they waved at us.
Suddenly two children began to call out Hakuryuu, Ethan and Aladdin, Ethan who was too fond of children kneeled down and Hakuryuu followed, I let out a laugh as the children began to place crowns of seashell and face paint on the three.
"Ah! That's not for free! You have to pay!" Ethan of course didn't mind it as Hakuryuu and Aladdin refused to pay, out of his pockets he began to give the kids some kind of fruit and a hand followed.
"Ahbmad.." Ahbmad? So the pudgy guy was the former king? Ahbmad nodded to Ethan as he handed out the fruit, he spoke in Torran and to my surprise one of the kids hugged him, like I said I never really heard anything positive about the former king. He looked at Alibaba as if daring to question him.
"Well….ah, thanks."
"You don't have to thank me. I just don't want any problems with the islanders, because otherwise, they wouldn't let us proceed with our research on the Torran culture." One of the kids still hugging him.
"You're quite zealous about this research on the Torrans." The blonde continued
Ahbmad gripped his pack "That's right, this s the best thing I can do right now. That's what I decided." He bagan to walk ahead of us.
I couldn't help but admire the guy a bit, no matter how bad history would say about Ahbmad I'm sure he loved his country as well, here he was instead of loathing Alibaba or cryng over a ruined country, instead he decided to start anew.
"Ahbmad he has somewhat changed." Alibaba said, his eyes following Ahbmad's figure
"He has the chance to contemplate about many things, this time I want to talk about those things with you, Alibaba and Aladdin. Anyway let's go!" Sahbmad began to lead the trio and me, Ethan and Hakuryuu was at the back.
"Don't look at them like that prince, they're different from you." The dark tone of Ethan's voice made me turn around but at the same time Alibaba called out to Hakuryuu as the Kou prince strode over to Alibaba's side.
"What was that?" I asked Ethan who just gave me an impish smile
"You'll see."
"We're at the village chief's house." The voice of Sahbmad stole my attention as he pointed at a tent. "We need his permission to go to the dungeon!"
"No!"
"WHAT?!" all of us exclaimed but I'm pretty sure it was me and Laura who shouted the loudest.
The village chief was a small man, the top of his head was bald but he had hair on the sides of his head, he was placed on top of cushions with a cane to balance him.
"You cannot go into the dungeon, that's the mouth of the devil! It's dangerous!" Sahbmad translated and I had to supress the urge to shout that all dungeons are dangerous.
"It's alright, we've already conquered a dungeon!" Yeah that too.
"The other dungeons are different, the 61st dungeon Zagan devours those who want to conquer it. The people that go near it get dragged inside!" That's one horrible Djinn.
"The dungeon drags the conqueror's inside by itself?! That's impossible.." it is after all the Djinn is in charge of it's dungeon.
"A lot of people from the village were devoured by Zagan and none of them have returned, therefore I've created a law decreeing that none may go inside." We've come this far, there's no way we'll back down now.
"But we're willing to get sucked inside!" Laura reasoned and really she has a point.
"But, chieftain this is a request from the King Sinbad."
"Indeed King Sinbad sent them." A small discussion between the chief and some people of the tribe seem to happen, as I nudged Laura beside me.
" 'We're willing to get sucked inside'?" I drawled as she let out a huff.
"I'm pretty sure all of you agree with me." She glared at the other members of the group who were pretending to not notice her.
"Alright I will give you my permission!" why the sudden change?
"That's great!' the trio exclaimed
"But if you must go, let these children guide you with their ship." The chief waved at the three people who suddenly appeared, two of them were men with some tattoos on their bodies while the other one was a girl probably thirteen or fourteen. "These are my grandchildren. They are experts when it comes to steering a boat near reefs."
"They will obviously only be able to accompany you for a certain distance towards the dungeon." The girl seem to stare at me and Hakuryuu, since she must be good as staring contests, I stared back.
We all got up as Alibaba went over to the chief and shook his hand. "That's more than enough! Thank you for your kindness."
Getting out of the tent, Sahbmad, the chef and the three grandchildren led us to a more livelier part of the island, it looked like a fair as different kinds of people were trading with different kinds of goods.
"Look it is thanks to King Sinbad that this island's market is so prosperous. It's because Sindria's garrison over there. The traders from off the island come here to visit us because they can sail and trade peacefully." Huh, I guess I shouldn't underestimate the power of trading after all.
"Also, King Sinbad welcomed us as equals. Since olden times, our people have been prosecuted as an ancient clan and we were driven out of many lands." Why do I have a feeling that this is where Sinbad had his local wives.
Suddenly someone called over the chief and pointed to three people wearing black cloaks.
"We've come from the Reim Empire to buy folk craft articles of the Torran people, chief please bless us with the Torran baptism and your permission!"
Two of them were men while the one who spoke was a woman, I know I shouldn't judge but black cloak wearing people? Definitely suspicious.
The natives then showered them with sand as Sahbmad spoke "When the merchants enter the market, they are purified that way by the silver sands of this island." He explained as the three of them passed over us. One of them was wearing a mask and the smile that the woman gave me just made me more suspicious, judging by how silent the group was they were probably thinking same lines that I do.
Well then, your departure for Zagan will be tomorrow morning!"
Sharing a boat with Hakuryuu was not a pleasant experience, I prefer a stuttering Kougyoku than him. It was probably because of what I said earlier and now he was just staring at me with those mismatched eyes. The one steering our boat was thankfully not staring and doing her job at guiding us through the reefs.
"After we pass those two islands, we will arrive at the dungeon!" one of the men shouted
"Alibaba, Laura-niisan, there are gold, sparkling fish in the water! Gold!" Aladdin pointed on the water as the both looked down I stole a glance and there was indeed some fish sparkling, though I doubt it was gold.
Suddenly the girl tapped me, she seemed to be asking something but since I couldn't understand the Torran language completely I shook my head. I could only understand a few words but not enough to hold a conversation. She frowned and approached Hakuryuu and probably asked the same thing.
Hakuryuu seem to know enough as he and the girl were holding a conversation, he looked at me for a moment and continued speaking to the girl. Before I knew it the girl was shouting something at Hakuryuu tears on her eyes.
"What did she tell you?" I asked as I tried to calm her down, he seemed hesitant for a second
"She wants to come to the dungeon with us." But before I could even ask or react at all the shouts of the two other guides could be heard.
"We've arrived, this is the island where the Zagan dungeon is!
Hi everyone! I just recently found out that Aladdin's Japanese voice actor is female, and now I can't look at Aladdin the same way again...but Aladdin was supposed to be female, along with Sinbad. I'm really curious though, do I have male readers? Do let me know.
Leave a review please! And state your name please so that I could address you guys properly, thanks!
LADY SILVERFOX aka charita rai:
I agree, a teen Sinbad is indeed hot af, you're lucky you could get access to anime merch easily while I still have to go travel or online and none of my relatives even know what I really like so I just end up having clothes for gifts T-T.
After finishing the manga of Magi I can't help but feel sorry for Ja'far, he's like a dog waiting for it's master so while I was doing this fic why not give the guy some lovin?
Sophie:
Next thing we know Sindria's full of pink rukh XD
Since I just paired off Sinbad and Laura I really want to build their relationship first, I don't want Sinbad just casually flirting with her and her either ignoring him or falling for his womanizing ways. As for Ethan and Ja'far these two are very tricky, considering their attitudes but like I said I love messing with Ethan and him being thrown out of the window is just one way XD. ( And I have a ton more ways to mess with Ethan's feelings. WAHAHAHAHA him having a lot of talents come with a price you know.)
More virtual hugs and cookies are on the way!
Nawal:
Strange name you got there, and thank you for your review! And yes I am planning on doing just that after the Zagan arc, look forward to it! ;)
