Side Story 13

"A voucher for a special room?"

What is this all of a sudden.

Me and Perez looked at each other blankly.

"We're having an event this time! It just so happens that you two are the 100th passenger on the cruise today!"

"Congratulations!"

I almost laughed at how bright the smiles of the two cruise workers were.

"Then could you wait here for a moment?"

"I will check to see if the special room is ready."

The staff who said so quickly walked away.

"A special room voucher, didn't this kind of thing happen last time?"

"This kind of thing?"

"Why, last time at an inn in Arcadia. The innkeeper changed the room we rented to the best room because there was a leak."

"Aa."

Perez nodded as if he remembered.

"Lucky things are good things."

Is it really just a lucky thing?

It was when I thought so.

Just then, I heard a conversation between a pair of men and women passing behind us.

"It feels like a dream to be able to go on a honeymoon to the East."

"We're lucky you got a cruise ticket, aren't we?"

Honeymoon.

As soon as I heard that word, I realized it.

"Perez, maybe this..."

"Is it the work of the Pellet Top?"

As expected, Perez noticed.

I glanced around and spoke in small voice.

"Yes, I think winning this event is a gift from Violet."

It was Violet, who was particularly interested in the wedding of me and Perez, whenever I saw her from time to time on the occasion of the Pellet business.

And she was more regretful than I was that Perez and I couldn't go on our honeymoon because of our job.

"Maybe it's Violet's mind to enjoy even a fake honeymoon to the fullest."

However, since there is a risk of exposing our identity to take care of it openly, she must have given a special room to me and Perez in this way.

"I'll have to go back and send a special gift to the top owner."

"Well, that's too much."

That's what I said, but when I get back to Lombardy, I'd like to say thank you to Violet separately.

Surprised by the questionable luck, I now have enough time to look around.

"As expected, it's lively."

The large wooden cruise ship was crowded with people.

People loading and unloading things, people seeing someone off, and people leaving.

Everyone was moving busily together.

"The wind is nice."

The air that was blowing seemed as light as the excited people.

Is it because of the cool breeze?

My heart started pounding a little too.
