Someone Nauseated, Someone not Affected

「Fuuaaaaaah! The wind feels good!」

「And the view is also beautiful! The blue color spreads out and it’s like the sea and the sky is mixing together!」

Sylvio-niisan and Mina happily screamed while holding down their fluttering hair that got blown by the sea breeze. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

It’s been tens of minutes away since we left the port, but the two of them are still looking excited.

It’s probably a lot of fun for them to see the sea from on top of the boat for the first time.

The other members are only looking pleasantly at the two of them happily reacting to anything on the boat.

Even Titus-san - who steered the boat - also had a gentle expression on his face as his frightening look collapsed when he looked at them.

「Ahh! There are people over there!?」

「You’re right! What are they doing?」

Looking in the direction Mina’s finger pointed to, there are children doing something on a rocky area.

Just as the three of us are puzzled over what they do, Eric - who noticed that - came to our side to explain.

「Those are children from the village, fishing. Although, they are hunting the clinging shells and growing seaweeds at the bottom of the rocky area instead of fish. In such shallow waters, even small children can work well enough」

Just as Eric says, those children have the wet and glistening seaweeds in their hands if you look closely. Some of the boys, for instance, look to be showing mischievous behavior as they set the seaweeds to the girls who dislike them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Are those wet and glistening things seaweed?」

「That’s right. They are generally like that before being dried」

Some kind of seaweed even spread to Koryatt village - which is surrounded by mountains. Most of them are dried seaweed, so I think this is the first time we saw them in their original state.

Mina and Sylvio-niisan stare at them, looking interested.

「Even though you run around the rocky area and often fall down. I think it’s dangerous though.......」

「I know, right」

It’s a dangerous act not only for adults but also for children to do something like running around in the rocky area but surprisingly, the children appear to be used to it.

「……the people who live in this village were raised and sustained by the sea. If it were that kind of rocky area, even the children will be able to run around and instantly judge a safe path to take」

「Even so, that is not recommended」

Eric say, as if to add more to Lunsan’s explanation.

It’s as they say. I don’t think it will end up in something like a scratch if you were to fall on the rocky area.

「Hey, it’s dangerous over there, don’t run around!」

「「Ehー」」

「I’m not gonna bring you out to the sea again then next time you mess around, ya hear」

「……understood」

「Heーi」

While we are anxiously watching them playing around, an older girl came and stopped them.

It’s really bad for the heart, seeing small children running around in such an unstable place like that. Thanks to that girl, my heart also feels relieved now. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Luna, what are they doing over there?」

As I think about that kind of thing while absent-mindedly staring at them, Eleonorneesan pointed to a place further back this time.

When I turn my eyes in that direction, I saw a place where the water is deep, with walls of rocks scattered around the place, it makes a stark contrast with the rocky area before.

There is also an almost naked man over there, holding a long harpoon in his hand.

「Kyaaa! Wait a minute Eleonorsama! What are you showing us!」

Mina’s face turn red as she scream and covered her face with both hands after seeing the almost naked man.

However, perhaps she’s interested in it since it seems like she’s still observing the man through the gap between her fingers.

「He is wearing a cloth around his waist, don’t you think that your reaction was exaggerated?」

Eleonorneesan says in a seemingly exasperated tone.

In contrast to Mina’s first reaction, Eleonorneesan looked really calm. As though she’s used to seeing something like that.

「That is not the problem here! Rather, Eleonorsama, you’re really calm, aren’t you?」

「You will get used to such a scene if you were having joint-training with a man」

「……when a man sweats, he will immediately take off his clothes」

The quickest way to escape from the heat is to take off your clothes after all. Manual laborers in this world will immediately take off their clothes.

The two of them would not raise a scream if they saw a man naked, since they have participated in joint training with men on a daily basis. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「E, ehhー, is that how it is? ......somehow only I - the oldest here - am flustered by this scene, I’m offended 」

That’s because those two are special, I think that a normal noble young lady will also become flustered by it though.

「So in the end, what is he doing? Is it warrior’s training to fight in the sea?」

「……that’s harpooning. You dive underwater, then you catch a fish by stabbing them with that long harpoon. But there are also monsters in the sea, so you have to be a first-class warrior to have that occupation」

I see. There are monsters that are attacking people at sea. Even if it’s an unfavorable terrain like in the sea, you need quite a considerable ability when it comes to thoroughly bringing down monsters. So I’m convinced you have to be a first-class warrior to be one.

「Heeー, that sounds interesting」

Eleonorneesan fearlessly smiles and laughs. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Why are you showing an interest at such a dangerous thing....... I can’t help but wonder about it.

「……if it’s Eleonora, I think that you will be able to handle a harpoon and dive underwater. Do you want to try it next time?」

「You’re right. I’ll observe him for now」

「Okay」

After that, the boat passes through the coastal part where you can see people living their life and continue to head toward the open sea.

The wind is getting a little stronger, and the waves also became a little stronger when we head to the open sea.

As the waves become stronger, the swaying of the boat naturally also becomes stronger .....

「……somehow, my stomach feels awful. What is this feeling?」

「……maybe, it’s the so-called seasickness? Uuh, I also feel bad」

Mina and Sylvio-niisan spectacularly got sick.

They made a sudden transformation from their lively appearance from before. Their faces are as white as a sheet, and they look tired and don’t seem to be able to stand anymore.

「Aah, it turns out like this in the end. Are the two you all right?」

「I’m fine. Since I’m not the type to become nauseated」

「What do you mean by ‘all right’?」

I’m the type of person who is strong against motion sickness. It’s a fact that has been proven even in the voyage to Kagura. You probably don’t even need to ask about Eleonorneesan.

After Titus-san breathe a sigh of relief seeing me and Eleonorneesan don’t get seasick, he emptied some space for the two of them to sit. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「It’s small but, please sit and rest here」

Mina and Sylvio-niisan silently nod and proceed to walk to that space at a ghost-like pace and sit down.
It’s as though they instantly aged and become an old person or something.

「Hey, Al. What does he mean?」

Just as I watch the groggy duo, Eleonorneesan pokes my shoulder and asks.

「It means that when you ride a ship, the swaying from the waves can make your body feel awful. It’s the same condition as a person who is not used to riding a carriage getting nauseated and feeling sick」

「Ah, so it’s like that. I don’t know how it feels though since I don’t feel nauseated at all」

Actually, it should be a symptom that occurred when your autonomic nerves were in disorder, caused by the difference in the information sent from each of your eyes and ears to your brain, resulting in confusion inside you.

It’s an explanation that I suitably simplified, but it looks like Eleonorneesan was satisfied with it.

Even though she’s curious about it, she doesn’t show any more interest in the subject. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

It feels like she doesn’t care about the reason behind it as long as she knows the result. But if it’s Sylvio-niisan, he will pay attention to it, then greedily looked into it, and think about the reason.

That’s probably the biggest difference between Sylvio-niisan and Eleonorneesan.
