Surviving in the 121st Century - Chapter 10

Episode 10

After all, Toby went to bed, after the sun rose the next day, and even after breakfast.

Even after finishing the meal, he didn’t say anything.

Of course, Jincheol was not happy either. It was the same for all the other camps, but Toby was special.

Hina was a more affectionate guy. He was the guy who was rolling around like trash on the riverside.

Not only did he rescue me and bring me to the village, but he was also not a bother at all while I was here.

I taught him how to speak without saying a word.

Jincheol felt grateful to everyone in the camp, including Atukai. However,

Toby stands out among them all, and if you add the affection that has developed over the past time, it is now

I was as grateful as my old squadmates who couldn’t come out. I couldn’t let them part like this.

So I tried to approach him first to try to appease him, but he saw me approaching and gave me a nod.

He just turned around and ran away.

“···”

“Haha. It looks like Toby is really angry.”

“···That’s right.”

A bitter smile remained on Jincheol’s lips. The separation was familiar. But still, on the battlefield

Compared to the breakups I’ve experienced, this kind of breakup is better. At least someone didn’t die.

Because it wasn’t.

“But he’ll show up by the time you get on the boat. He’ll be mad at you.

“It’s not that I hate it.”

“I hope that’s true.”

Atukai looked at Toby, who was starting to pack his things from a distance.

He clapped his hands together and made a clap sound.

“Well, the biker merchants are coming too.”

“yes?”

In response to Jincheol’s question, Atukai silently raised his hand and pointed upstream. That cute

I followed the silver hairy fingers and saw the slow movement of the winding river beyond.

A large ship was seen sailing.

It was a boat of beaks.

“Oh… That’s the biker ship…”

“Is it pretty big?”

It wasn’t that big. It was comparable to a small tourist ship in Jincheol’s view.

It was so big that it could not even be seen from a distance, but it filled one side of the river.

There was a strange force to the way it approached. So I imagined a wooden sailing ship or something.

Dun Jin-cheol also thought of Toby because of the ship’s appearance, which was similar to a modern cargo ship.

I forgot and lost my mind.

“Is that a sail?”

“Sails? Well? I don’t know. Ask them when they come.”

The Bikha merchant ship had something similar to a sailing ship. It had a large iron plate that looked like a sail.

It was built in the middle of a merchant ship. Thanks to this, the merchant ship’s appearance was made of iron plates.

It also looked like a real sailing ship.

The merchant ship approached quickly after it first appeared. It felt like it was moving slowly.

This was because the distance was far and the ship was large.

“Ow···”

As the ship came closer, it looked even bigger. It was the same tree that I had seen from afar.

It was a ship made of iron plates, and there was faint rust here and there on the iron plates, as if it was old.

It was also visible. A faint pulsating sound was heard inside the ship.

I thought it might be the sound of an engine.

He could also hear the commotion of people moving busily on the deck above. Jincheol frowned.

I looked at the place. The people on the deck were visible thanks to the dazzling morning sunlight.

It looked dark.

The merchant ship, which had been approaching quickly, slowed down surprisingly smoothly and then went to the dock.

The boat was tied up. Soon, a rope came down from the upper deck, and soon

Someone was slithering down the rope onto the dock.

Jincheol, who saw that face, immediately grabbed the handle of the sword hanging on his belt.

“What the fuck? Why are those guys here?”

“Ugh.”

The person blowing the air roughly was none other than the red-skinned Olog. I was standing on the dock.

The guy who was looking at Jincheol was looking at him with a gloomy face. Jincheol saw that face.

The reason he didn’t draw his sword and swing it right away was because Atukai was holding his hand.

It was.

“···Why are you stopping me?”

“That Olog is not dangerous. It’s not a ‘wandering Olog.’”

“yes?”

Atukai pointed to Olog without further explanation. Jin followed his hand.

In the eyes of the iron, Olog was looking at the food sacks piled up on the dock.

It was seen. He didn’t have much interest in Jincheol or the campers around him.

It didn’t seem to exist.

“what.”

While Jincheol was hesitating, another Olog came down from the deck.

Then the two men went to the cargo the campers had piled up, touched the strings, and made a shape.

I started to organize it.

It didn’t take long for me to figure out what the two guys were doing. On the deck of the ship.

There was a rattling sound, and then a steel structure popped out and a fish was caught at the end.

It was because the line came down like a rope.

“It’s a crane···”

The Ologs came down to hang the hook of the crane and the cargo. The posture was relaxed.

Jincheol could soon see the necklaces hanging around their necks.

A complex shape that does not match the appearance of barely covering one’s private parts with a pair of pants

It was a necklace with a hammer on it. Could that be a bomb necklace?

“Although Olog is violent, he knows that his life is precious. He is simple and stupid.

If you feed it well, it will do what you tell it to do. Thanks to that, I can put on a leash like that.

They are very useful when you make them do manual labor or work. They are surprisingly suitable for slaves.

“I guess you could call it a race.”

It was an unfamiliar voice. The tone and speech were clear and orderly. I turned my head and saw a footstep.

A being was seen slowly descending to the dock on a rope with a hook attached.

His smooth, moist skin, with a bluish tint, was limited only to his eyes, ears, and shiny hair.

Only the rim was exposed. He was wearing some kind of mask that covered his nose, mouth, and neck.

It was like that, but in Jincheol’s view, it was like the breathing part was separated from the gas mask.

It looked like a shape.

Beneath it was a black coat and leather shoes that came close to the knees. Those shoes and

The pants and gloves were also black, with other colors visible inside the coat.

It was just a white shirt.

In short, he had a modified gas mask instead of a fedora, although the shape was a little different.

He looked like a gentleman who wrote:

His turbaned eyelids fluttered from side to side as he stepped down from the line with a stiff movement.

I saw something wet. It’s not a reptile, what is that?

He said.

“It’s been a while, Atukai. How have you been?”

“We’re always doing well. How about you, Captain Romuto? How have you been?”

“This trip didn’t carry much cargo. It only went as far as Santesia.

If you guys didn’t have cargo, you would have suffered a loss. Fortunately, there was a special guest in the middle.

“It was fortunate that we were able to make up for it when we had a real customer, but we almost got into big trouble.”

“Oh, really? Then does that mean all the rooms are full?”

“No. We can easily accommodate one or two guests.”

His gaze naturally turned to Jincheol. Jincheol, who was staring blankly at him,

I flinched at the sight of the wet fish eyes staring straight at me.

Because there was something eerie about it.

“It’s our first time meeting. Would you please introduce me, Atukai?”

“Ah, this is Jincheol, Jincheol of the Kang family. He is the benefactor who saved the children of our village.

“He is the guardian who defeated the beasts of the forest, and is also the most precious friend to me.”

“Huh? Why are you going that far again···”

Jincheol’s face fell at the blatant praise and admiration. But Atukai was

He said with a small smile.

“Isn’t it all true? And you didn’t ask us for anything. You

“It must be the !@#$@ that Mother Tree sent me.”

“What is that? It’s a word I’ve never heard before.”

“Really? Toby didn’t teach me this. I’ll figure it out later. Oh, this way.

“Should I introduce you too?”

Atukai continued speaking, gesturing towards the Bykain.

“Captain Romuto. As you can see, he is a Baika and has been with us as a merchant for a long time.

We’ve been there. They’ve always been fair to us and sometimes they’ve given us the things we need.

If there is a friend, he is a good friend who goes far to save you. He is a good friend to you too.

“I hope it becomes a ball.”

“Captain Romuto Quebec.”

Captain Romuto introduced himself and extended his hand. As expected, the handshake was a success.

Is this a common greeting? Jincheol shook her hand naturally. Romuto

The captain’s eyes glanced at the hand.

“This is Kang Jin-cheol.”

“The Kang family. This is the first time I’ve heard of that family. Where are you from?”

“Where are you from? Why?”

“I have traveled to many places and met many races for business, but I have never met someone like you.

Stand up. Also, those who have a family must know each other’s status.”

What kind of nobleman is he? Jincheol answered obediently while thinking that.

“Ah. Korea. I came from a bit far away.”

“···korea?”

“Don’t you know?”

Captain Romuto was about a foot shorter than Jincheol. He looked at Jincheol with wet eyes.

He said while looking at my face.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not very knowledgeable, so this is the first time I’ve heard of this place name. You speak Camponi fluently, so maybe

“Can you speak in another language? In Esai, or in Rabito.”

“I’m Korean, so I speak Korean. But the way you look at me with your fish head is kind of disgusting.

All. Do you have any complaints about me? Speak more easily. You are already using unfamiliar language.

“Looks like my head hurts.”

Captain Romuto tilted his head at Jincheol’s Korean words as he smiled broadly.

It was because the words that came out of his mouth were so unfamiliar. Soon his eyes narrowed.

Well, it seemed like he was smiling.

“It’s a unique pronunciation. It sounds like the old whale language, or something similar to the northern Esai language.

“It seems similar. What did you say?”

“It’s nice to meet you, and let’s get along well from now on, that’s about it.”

“Oh, I see. But well, we’ll have to wait and see.”

What the hell is this kid? He’s really secretly annoying. Jincheol thought that, but there was a smile on his lips.

He smiled gently. He had done a few things to please the idiot executives.

After a few years, this level of camouflage was nothing.

At that moment, a loud clang was heard from the crane that was lowering the rope.

The Olog that was down shouted, “Woah!” As the cargo was raised, he turned to face this way.

It seemed like he was shouting, “Be careful.”

The campos that had been huddled together retreated to one side at the sound and

I watched the crane lifting the cargo with a look of joy. The dogs gathered around.

It felt like I was seeing a strange landscape.

Then Atukai said:

“Jincheol.”

“Yes, Atukai.”

“Go and say hello. You’re not planning on just getting on the boat and leaving without saying anything, are you?”

“Why don’t you pay the fare to get on the boat?”

“Don’t worry about that. I’ll talk to the captain. You go and talk to those guys.

“Just say hello and come.”

Jincheol thought for a moment and nodded.

“···Thank you. Then I will go for a bit.”

Now it was really time to leave. Jincheol said to Atukai and Captain Lomuto,

I made a quick eye contact and approached the campers who were huddled together. I was standing on the crane.

The campers who were watching the load being lifted noticed him approaching.

“Jincheol! Look at that! It’s really amazing!”

“Haven’t you seen it before?”

“Hehehe. This is my first time following you.”

Chakai smiled shyly and scratched his head. Was this guy really a kid?

Look. At that moment, Jincheol saw Daramba with a hardened expression. The guy’s eyes were

Olog is waving upwards like a day laborer under a crane.

There was.

Jincheol’s hand covered Darumba’s head.

“···Jincheol?”

“Don’t worry. If those guys come running here to eat you, I’ll kill them all.

“I will give it to you.”

A smile slowly appeared on the frozen face of the man.

“···Like those guys the day before yesterday?”

“Yeah, like them.”

“lol···”

As I was patting the smiling guy, other campions gathered around him and

They started to chatter about it.

“Jincheol! Are you going now? Are you really going?”

“You’ll come back later, right?”

“Goodbye, Jincheol! Thank you for saving the kids! Really!”

“Jincheol! You call this a babana? Here! Take it!”

Not a banana, but a banana. Jincheol is holding a bunch of bananas that Han Camponi is handing him.

He accepted it and snickered. The girls, whose waists were as long as his, surrounded him.

The chattering scenery was like a scene straight out of a children’s cartoon.

As I watched the guys talking cheerfully, I suddenly remembered the old squad members who were looking for him.

Of course, these little buggers were much better looking than those ugly ones.

though.

Then he suddenly realized that he couldn’t find the guy.

“Toby?”

“Toby? He seemed angry earlier. I told Jincheol to tell me he’s gone if he comes looking for him.”

“···I see.”

In a short while, Jincheol’s luggage started to pile up. Starting with the bananas he had received first,

A pouch containing rice and beans for eating, a bracelet carved from wood, feathers and beads

A necklace with a string, a piece of soft cloth of unknown material, etc. As the luggage increases,

He even gave me a bag to put it in.

In the end, Jincheol, who had only one small bundle, laughed heartily while carrying a bag the size of his body.

It was. For some reason, when I left my grandmother’s house on a holiday, I felt like I was getting something.

It was.

After receiving all the gifts, Daramba suddenly hugged Jincheol tightly. He was

He buried his head in the iron boat and said.

“Thank you for saving me, Jincheol.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Jincheol laughed as if it was nothing and ruffled the guy’s hair. Then

The other campons around also shouted “Wow!” and ran towards Jincheol.

Jincheol was surrounded by Boksil and didn’t even realize that dog hair was entering his mouth.

Hahaha I laughed.

“It looks like a mess.”

“Is that so?”

Atukai’s words to Jincheol, who approached him after finishing his greetings, upon seeing his hair flying

It was. Jincheol chuckled. Atukai also just laughed heartily.

“I’m done talking to Captain Romuto. The captain and this ship will take you to the city.

“I’ll give it to you. I’ll even prepare a meal for you, so eat well.”

“Thank you, Atukai. I don’t know if I paid for this meal.”

“What? What you did for me was much bigger than this. Oh, and ask the captain for a gift too.

“I’m ready, so look forward to it.”

“A gift? I’ve already received many. This is enough for me.”

“Okay. I’m done talking, so you just accept it.”

Atukai reached out his hand. Jincheol grabbed his small hand.

“Goodbye, Jincheol. Come back anytime. You are the village’s benefactor.”

“Yes, I will come again. I don’t know when.”

Jincheol, who had finished greeting Atukai, looked around the surrounding docks for the last time.

But the guy I was looking for was nowhere to be seen. A gentleman came to Jincheol.

I came.

“Are you done with the greetings?”

It was Captain Romuto. When Jincheol nodded, the captain went up to the upper deck and gave a signal.

Then he lifted the cargo of the campos and unloaded the boxes of medicines and miscellaneous goods.

The rope from the dropped crane slowly came closer.

“There is a hook below, so put your foot on it.”

There is no safety law to be found here either. I put my foot on the hook as Jincheol told me to.

The captain gave another signal, and the rope began to move upward with a clank.

“Wow!”

“Goodbye, Jincheol!”

The campons followed Jincheol’s feet and waved their hands.

As he waved his hand, the crane quickly lowered him onto the deck.

“Oh.”

On the spacious deck, there were quite a few boxes of different sizes and shapes piled up.

On the other side was the cargo of the camponi that had been uploaded a little while ago, and there were the two logs from before.

In addition, several laborers were seen moving luggage.

“They’re all wearing those things around their necks. Are those really bomb necklaces?”

There were about five or six Ologs. There were also about eight or eight laborers.

They were all camponi. Of course, I’m not talking about the camponi under the ship.

“···It’s Camponi, right?”

Unlike the campons that were close to the two-legged stool, Jincheol’s eyes are visible

The laborers were much taller than the Boksils, had short, black hair, and a thick neck and a

It had pointed ears. It had long limbs, and in summary, it was a Doberman.

It seemed like he was standing on his own two feet and walking around dressed up.

“The Atukai tribe is unusually pastoral and simple. They are small in size and not aggressive.

You’ll have no choice but to live like that. Compared to that, the Black Foot Campions are strong.

They are honest and excellent city workers. Those with big bodies work as mercenaries.

“I pray.”

These were the words of Captain Romuto, who followed him up. Jincheol, who was secretly annoyed by him, did not respond.

No. Instead, he quickly clung to the railing of the ship and waved to the campers below.

I was so busy.

Captain Romuto looked at Jincheol for a moment and then quickly turned around.

The ship, which had finished loading its cargo, dropped from the dock just as it had shown its amazing maneuverability a moment ago.

The pier was moving away, and it was already small.

The Dunn camps looked smaller. They were all waving their hands toward Jincheol.

There was.

At that time, Bok-sil was hiding in a corner of the dock, in a place where there was a pile of broken stones.

This one popped out. It was Toby.

The guy ran along the dock, following the boat that was getting faster and faster. Jincheol’s eyes were filled with tears.

The face of the guy who became me was revealed.

He shouted.

“Toby! Take care!”

The guy ran along the dock panting with his face wet with tears. And yet he kept on calling out to Jincheol.

The crab waved its hand.

“Bye! Bye Jincheol! Thank you! I’m sorry I got mad last night! Thank you-!”

Jincheol felt his nose tingle for no reason and shook his hand even louder. Toby

So that the campons can see him from afar and remember his appearance.

Then I saw Toby fall over with a crash. Oh my, that guy.

The guy quickly got back up, but the ship was now too far away to catch up.

was there. The guy stopped running.

Instead, he shouted.

“Jin-cheol-! Si-baal-! Si-baa-al!”

“What? Puhahaha-!”

Jincheol couldn’t help but burst out laughing at the guy’s sudden shout. Ah,

My sin is truly great. To have corrupted that innocent boy to this extent.

It’s to the point where you can immediately curse at a traveler. What kind of unbearable pleasure is it?

Feeling overwhelmed, he ended up shouting too.

“That’s when you call him a son of a bitch! Son of a bitch-!”

Toby became quiet, then shouted again.

“Jin-Chul-! Shit-Rom! Shit-Baal-Rom-!”

“···Hahahahahaha!”

Toby, you are the best. Jincheol waved his hand and walked along the pier that was getting farther away for a while.

I laughed. I laughed like that for a long time, and then they disappeared from view in the winding river.

Only then did he stop waving his hands.

“···”

Behind a big smile, there is an inexplicable emptiness. It seems to fall as high as the big smile.

A drop. Jincheol placed himself on the edge of the cliff and stared blankly at the river.

Then someone approached him.

“Kang Jin-cheol?”

Jincheol, who turned his gaze, at first thought he was Captain Romuto. But soon he realized that it was

Ika’s outfit is a little different from the captain’s, and furthermore, the shape of the top of the mask.

I could also realize that it was a little different.

Our eyes met and he nodded briefly and said.

“I am Parm Wyrson. I am the ship’s medical officer and navigational recorder.”

“Uh… Kang Jin-cheol. What do you need from me?”

Palm Wirsson nodded, carrying his pack on his back.

“From now on, I will teach you the Baika, Esai, Rabito, and other dialects, etc.

I ended up teaching. Of course, if you have any questions other than language, I will answer to the best of my knowledge.

I will answer all of your questions. In addition, I have a degree from a public university.

“He is a good doctor, so you don’t have to worry too much about the truth of his answer.”

“···what?”

Jincheol, who was blankly staring at the gentleman, only then realized what the gift Atukai had been talking about was.

I was able to realize it.
