Episode 488 Japan [1]

“Hahaha, let’s have some fun without Kim Tae-pyeong!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“Slurp, slurp, slurp, the little testicles are going in!”

“If you add this powder to it, it becomes the best nutritious tonic!”

“Hahaha! Indeed, indeed! It feels like I’ve become 30 years younger… … Ugh.”

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!”

“Well, I have no regrets… … I wanted to go with art when I left.”

“Your Majesty! Ugh, ugh!”

“You too? Haha… … It’s nice not being lonely.”

“Mom, it’s an honor to serve you… … .”

eww…….

Ugh… … .

“Hey, what’s up?”

“Whoa.”

“What kind of dream are you having? Oh my. Even the bed is soaked with sweat.”

“A, is this a dream? Is this… is this reality?”

“You must have had a terrible nightmare. You should go out on deck and get some air. You made me lose sleep. You screamed so loud that the next room could hear you. Seriously… .”

“Ugh… … .”

Liston woke me up, shook his head, and left the room again.

Between the sound of his footsteps, the sound of crashing waves could be heard.

The view outside through the small window in the cabin was just pitch black.

It’s a bit strange to say, but only then was I able to come to my senses.

Yeah, I’m on the boat.

A ship heading to Japan.

‘That… that’s really a fucking dream.’

As Liston said, the bed was completely wet.

Because of that, I felt uneasy about going back to bed, and because of the dream, I felt like shit, so I went out of the room.

The boat was still rocking back and forth with the waves, but it wasn’t a storm, and I had long since become accustomed to such everyday rocking.

Even the ship we were on was a merchant ship, not a warship, so it was extremely heavy and, except for some rough straits, the sea was mostly calm.

It was said that one could walk immediately after waking up from sleep.

‘The more I think about it, the more it seems like a fucking dream… … ?’

It’s already been two months since I left England.

But it wasn’t just in the sea.

There were many colonies in between, so there were plenty of places to call at.

Even so, since it was a merchant ship with a mission, it couldn’t stay long…

Anyway, it wasn’t that difficult.

Wouldn’t it be strange to say that it’s hard when you’re being treated better than the captain in the first place?

It’s nothing compared to sailors who chew dried beef jerky on a piece of potato and throw lime juice in between to prevent scurvy.

‘But why am I suddenly having this dream… …?’

In the past, I wouldn’t have attached much meaning to dreams.

That’s right.

What is your dream?

But now I have become a Joseon shaman.

I didn’t declare it myself, but everyone believes it.

Even some of the things I say just come true… … .

First of all, doesn’t the fact that I’ve come back here from the 21st century mean that there’s something about me?

‘Ugh… this… this… .’

A dream where the King of England and the Duke eat, drink, and stab each other with cocaine in their testicles, and then all end up having heart attacks at the same time…

Is there another dream like this in the world?

People who don’t know the situation well might think that dog dreams are originally like that.

The big problem is that William IV and Sir Damien are still great men.

I don’t know if the country has a suppressor, but…

There isn’t any right now.

Although I left the director and Blundell behind, they are not nobles or anything, and it is the 19th century, so it would be easy for them to be swayed by rumors going around.

‘Oh… … Now that I think about it, I didn’t put down the curse.’

This can’t be happening.

The saying, “A thousand miles, one day, another day” comes to mind.

I missed one thing because I was packing everything else, but it was the most important one.

You forgot the curse you put on the king.

You’re only twenty years old with a bright future ahead of you, and you’re already this crazy?

It seems that the London smog is having a bigger effect on me than I thought.

No, actually, I’m saying that when you’re on a boat, you feel like you’re getting better?

It’s not just me.

Mr. Liston, that guy… … .

-Where did you go again?

-If you say Liston in London, it’s now known all over the world.

-So where and how do you get in touch?

-There are so many people who want to continue my excellent blood.

It seems like the energy that was already flowing has reached a point where it is completely uncontrollable.

He seduces women and sleeps with them at every port he visits.

No, I don’t think the expression ‘I slept over’ is appropriate.

Because there were many more times when I just did it and came.

-Then you get syphilis again!

-I brought a condom.

-What and how much did you bring?

-Voila.

-Hic.

There are thousands of them.

Since this isn’t something that’s wrapped up nicely and put into a square space like in the 21st century, it’s very…

It’s extremely blatant and at the same time hideous.

I had a feeling I was packing several bags, but I didn’t realize that one of them would end up being completely full of them.

Anyway, there are two important things here.

The air in London is so bad that it offsets, or rather, is worse than, the ship’s hustle.

Another thing is, I don’t know what kind of trouble our King would be getting up to without me.

‘I have to send something as soon as I dock.’

I don’t think sending it will be of much use.

Isn’t this a section where warships or ferry ships regularly sail?

Especially Japan… … .

We have not yet established formal diplomatic relations with the UK.

If you think about it, I don’t understand why these island nations are still fighting each other.

Aren’t the things they do somewhat similar?

It’s because the sizes are different…

The country that landed, pillaged, colonized the continent, and gave them culture is the one they hate the most.

‘Oh, no. I almost thought of you as baguette guys.’

What the French guys… … .

It’s true that I live a bit fancy.

But that doesn’t mean they’re good.

We British people took over French land, didn’t we?

cadet…….

Human civilization has already gone to the moon, really.

I’m not joking, they reset civilization periodically.

When I look at that, it really resembles a large country somewhere in East Asia.

“T.E.P. Young. What are you doing? It’s cold outside.”

“Ah… Captain Charles. What are you doing instead of sleeping?”

As I was leaning against the bow like that (holding onto the rope) and feeling a little depressed, Captain Charles approached me.

If you think about it, it’s a captain’s position, but it’s much higher than a normal captain’s position.

Because he is the direct subordinate of the Earl of Elgin, James Bruce, who can be said to be the representative of this ship at present.

Maybe that’s why he approached me without hesitation, even though I had long been an object of fear for everyone.

Today was no exception.

“Isn’t it almost time to arrive? I’m a little worried, that’s why.”

“worry……?”

“I heard from Portuguese kids that Japanese people are not usually aggressive. What did they say… … Huh… … Installment?”

“Ah, installment payments are scary, but it’s seppuku.”

“Ah, Harbuok.”

“Well… … Anyway. That’s true, those guys.”

Smoking is not allowed on board ships.

This is not just a recommendation.

What if a sailor gets caught smoking?

Then you get whipped.

This isn’t some kind of metaphor, it’s real.

You might say, “This is Britain and it’s the 19th century, isn’t it?”, but I’d respond with, “What can I do?”

“after…….”

Aren’t pears made of wood?

As we all know, wood burns well.

If we get on the boat, we’ll all be lost.

So that’s why I’m losing… … .

As always, the higher the position, the more the laws that apply.

Our proud British Empire in particular follows that tradition very zealously.

Noblesse oblige?

What the heck… … .

That’s why they say things like that because they don’t do it enough.

Why else would there be a nobleman whose nickname is the leader of rape?

“If I go… … and His Majesty the Count gets stabbed by a sword? Then it will be difficult for me to return alive.”

“Haha, you wouldn’t think so.”

“Among the Portuguese, there were some who went like that?”

“That’s because it’s Portugal. How bad must they have been for the Lord to punish them with a great earthquake?”

“Ah… … So you’re interpreting it that way again.”

“It’s good. Isn’t it because of this that Britain has become stronger?”

In fact, Portugal was already in a state of decline even before the Lisbon earthquake.

But even though they were rotten, they were still leading a pretty fierce fleet, but the earthquake changed everything.

When you say Portugal, the only thing that comes to mind is ‘Oh, them? Those guys who are out of the blue?’

Plus I know a little bit about the future.

Even though I’m like this, I did pretty well on the CSAT.

I haven’t studied Japanese history, but wouldn’t it be possible to gain a general understanding of China or Japan just by studying their national history?

‘The Anglo-Japanese Alliance was in fact the first alliance between a European country and an Asian country… … The fact that it was possible means that the two must have gotten along quite well, right?’

Common sense tells you that if two people fought each other, would they form an alliance?

At least for Britain, Japan was its most reliable partner in Northeast Asia.

Well, if Russia hadn’t been trying so hard to move south, we probably wouldn’t have formed an alliance.

The point is that Russia is screwing around, and that’s probably the way things will be in the future.

“That’s true. But… … do we really not have to make a treaty with Joseon?”

As I was thinking this, our Captain Charles asked me.

If you listen to this without knowing the context, you’ll think, “Is this kid crazy?”

But if you know Britain, you know this is true.

These guys… … .

So the British Empire believes that it is leading the many inferior races around the world onto the right path by exercising the white man’s leadership spirit.

There is no need to ask why unequal provisions are included.

In the first place, since we are not the same human beings, why would there be any reason for us to be equal?

‘What… these kids don’t even see Irish people as fellow human beings.’

I think that maybe they are actually closer to being egalitarians than they are to being true racists.

Yeah, better than those baguette guys.

They are… … .

First of all, they are the ones who shout freedom, equality, and fraternity in the front, but then say, “Huh? Not you? Are we going to have freedom, equality, and fraternity only among ourselves?”

Rather than that, wouldn’t it be much better for us, the Yeonggili people, to be the same on the outside and inside and be able to prepare in advance?

“Ah… … I’ll just go to Joseon for personal reasons.”

“Hmm… … I think I can help you a lot though.”

“Haha, I’m not very good at that.”

“Are you the best doctor in the world?”

“doctor…….”

In Joseon, doctors are middle class.

No, leaving all that aside, the current king of Joseon is Heonjong.

Heonjong… … .

Because he was a king in the late Joseon Dynasty, and because there were so many unfortunate kings after him, including Cheoljong, Gojong, and Sunjong, he doesn’t receive much attention, but this period can be seen as the period when the Andong Kim clan really started to mess up the country.

He’s probably young too. Maybe 13 or 14 at most?

I don’t want to add Britain to the already struggling wages.

“Well, that’s true, but I just wanted to visit.”

“Is that so? I guess you all have your own thoughts.”

“And now let’s just think about Japan.”

“It’s reassuring. Since you are an expert on Japan… … .”

“Well, that’s true.”

More than anything, I think it would be more fun to go to Japan and cause trouble.
