Unmoor — Chapter 4 (Part 1)
Low-Speed Sailing Astric returned to the room almost as if he were fleeing, as though Valerius might come chasing after him from behind. After catching his breath, he perched on the edge of the bed. A moment later, Sheniba opened the door and stepped inside. “Ente, if you run around like that right after eating, won’t your stomach hurt?” “……I’m fine.” Astric answered Sheniba’s worried question in a tone that suggested it was nothing serious. Sheniba stepped closer and let out…-

Unmoor — Chapter 3 (Part 3)
“Why are you standing there looking so scared? I don’t eat people. Your name was Ente, right?” Like a child who had found something fascinating, Ivan examined Astric’s features one by one as he muttered, “Sheniba didn’t introduce you to me, so I had to ask Kinta to find out your name. I almost got offended at my comrade Sheniba. Ente, let’s get along from now on.” Hearing the faint amusement in Ivan’s voice sent a chill through Astric. He couldn’t explain it, but instinctively,…-

Unmoor — Chapter 3 (Part 2)
“…Yes. Understood.” Astric nodded as he replied. At the same time, though, a question arose. Why did Valerius need an errand runner in the first place. He didn’t recall Valerius assigning errands back on the ship. Maybe, as he’d said earlier, he usually had Sheniba or Resh do them. Scratching his cheek, Astric subtly moved to stand behind Valerius and waited for the next instruction. Perhaps he hadn’t expected such ready compliance, because Valerius gave him a faintly strange…-

3. Stopover Port As expected, Ivan was inside the room where faint sunlight filtered in. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, reading a book, and he did not spare Kinta even a fragment of a glance. That, more than anything, made Kinta uneasy. “Ah, Ivan…” “Kinta, I’m reading a book right now. We should be considerate of our comrades.” “S, sorry.” Ivan spoke dryly as he turned the page. The plan to confess first and beg for forgiveness ended before it even began. With his…-

Unmoor — Chapter 2 (Part 3)
After a moment of consideration, he flipped a few pages ahead and jotted down everything he had seen and heard so far, even the smallest details. The rough workings of the Scepter, what the pirates here usually did to pass the time, who he needed to watch out for, who was responsible for what on this ship, who was close to whom. He did not know how much this would help him uncover the traitor, but for now, it was the best he could do. He had yet to see anyone aboard the Scepter whose words or actions…-

Unmoor — Chapter 2 (Part 2)
“Anyway, Disheptator is admired by other pirates, but it’s not completely different from anywhere else. Just like other places, there are trashy, irredeemable people and opportunistic, sly ones who only look out for themselves.” The first group likely referred to Ivan’s followers, while the second was clearly aimed at Resh. “When you decide to become a pirate, you should dream of restoring honor and seeking revenge, not money. Maybe this is why people say pirates aren’t as ruthless as…-

2. Storm Preparing for a storm was surprisingly simple. Drop anchor and endure it in place. It was nothing complicated, but Desmond said the reason for gathering everyone and speaking with such gravity was to instill tension and, at the same time, a sense of responsibility for each person’s role. Astric decided to prepare food for the storm together with Desmond in the kitchen. “Anyway, Ente, storms are something sea folk are familiar with, just like sea monsters, but they’re still…-

“He is pretty, though. Way more refined than those brats who came in claiming to be apprentices.” “Don’t you think Croc’s going to make a move again this time?” “Hahaha! If it’s that guy, he definitely will. Want to bet how long this rookie lasts?” “A bet? Sure. I say a week.” “I give him four days. He looks like he’s got some grit, but even so, there’s no way he lasts more than four days against Croc.” “Yeah, I heard Croc’s already got his eye on…-

Unmoor — Chapter 1 (Part 2)
Letting out a shallow sigh, Astric sank deeper into the tub. The warm water rose nearly to his nose, but he continued thinking, his face blank, as if he felt nothing at all. Meanwhile, the staff member who had guided Astric to the bath was still lingering nearby. After quietly listening for any sounds from within, he moved stealthily and stopped in front of Astric’s room. “If he’s navy or nobility, the harbor’ll get noisy.” Muttering under his breath, the staff member pulled out a key…-

1. The Disheptator Pirate Crew. The Millard family’s greatest headache. A wretched creature who wasn’t satisfied with killing his own mother at birth and went on to devour his father as he grew up. Those were the kinds of labels that usually clung to Astric, and he never made any particular effort to deny the long chain of epithets trailing behind him. It was true that his mother had died after enduring a brutal labor. It was also true that his father had been buried in the deep, quiet grave…-
