"Oh no~"
Early in the morning, Alena was shouting at the dining table, it seemed that she was in big trouble.
"Dad can't come. He said he has to fight with a pirate leader soon and has no time to get away. He asked me to figure it out on my own." Alena said disappointedly.
"Wow, so that's the case. It seems we should take an airship after all." Lettice said with a hint of gloating, holding up her folding fan.
"We'll probably have to wait a long time for the airship." Alena said, lying on her side on the table, looking at everyone like a dead fish.
Because the Hinazuki Council and Lurna don't like it very much, there are very few airship routes to the Southern Islands, with basically only one trip per month.
"Let's find another ship." Bumansa took a sip of tea and said, time is not so urgent for both of them.

On the seaside alley.
"I didn't expect that the sheets in the blanket yesterday were more valuable. I'm so lucky." Triton touched the purse in his arms and sighed softly.
The bed sheet that felt extremely smooth was said to be produced in the far East. It was made entirely of silk and was embroidered with flowers and birds. It was extremely exquisite. After selling it, the little fat man made a lot of money.
Bedsheets are relatively private items and are easier to sell than gold and silver jewelry. Jewelry and other items might be recognized, and revealing their origins might be embarrassing. However, bedsheets are kept in the bedroom, hidden from view by all but a few relatives, making them less likely to be discovered by outsiders.
There won't be any subsequent problems after the sale, so that particular store also gave a higher price.
With this money, I can finally do something big, Triton thought to himself, and began to perfect the plan he had been conceiving for a long time.
He had worked as a doorman and waiter in a hotel for nearly seven years, and had seen many wealthy people make their fortunes. Comparing his experiences over the years, he gradually summed up some experience.
Working like Sister Su Lisi did for others was just enough to earn a comfortable life at best. If you wanted to become a big shot, you must have found a lucrative business at some point.
He didn't want to live a life of such low status, working as a servant in a hotel. Although his life looked good, the gap between his status and his mentality made him feel resentful. He wanted to rise above others and enjoy the same comforts.
Forget it, let’s give it a try.
Although the plan still had many problems, he decided to give it a try. Sometimes, no matter how long the plan takes, it is better to do it yourself, even if there are huge risks involved.
Pushing open the door of the courtyard, Triton walked in.
Allen hasn't come back yet. He's probably helping people haul goods again. Sigh, my good brother is being wasted. He thought, shaking his head.
Allen used to be a rickshaw driver for the Filura Chamber of Commerce. Because of his good looks and decent skills, he was always the driver for the nobles. Unfortunately, after the Chamber of Commerce collapsed, he was forced to leave his job and now can only haul goods to earn a hard-earned living.
The two knew each other before. After the chaos two years ago, they sympathized with each other, supported each other, and became good brothers. Although they had different personalities, they had always had a good relationship.
I definitely can't do this alone, I have to get Sister Su Lisi and Allen to help me. He sat on a bench in the yard, basking in the sun, thinking about how to convince the two "good people".
As he was thinking, a little girl slowly walked out of the house and covered Triton's eyes with her hands.
"Guess who I am?" The voice was childish and clear.
"Little Luna." Triton answered as a matter of course.
"The answer is correct." The little hand opened, revealing a cute face.
Triton looked at the girl in front of him and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
In the evening, after Sulis and Allen came back, they all gathered around the dining table to eat.
"Ahem." Triton straightened his throat a little to attract the attention of the others.
"I recently thought of a way to make money."
"Speak." Su Lisi glanced at the little fat man and continued to eat the black bread.
"I heard that the Great Eastern is coming soon. We can go up there and look for opportunities."
"Is that the cruise ship where dignitaries gather? But how can we get on it and what can we do once we get on it?" Su Lisi had heard of this famous cruise ship.
"This, I have already planned." Triton wiped his hands and took out a few pieces of paper with stamps on them from a small box beside him.
The snow-white paper was relatively thick, with intricate patterns printed on the corners, and a few lines of words and instructions written in the middle.
"Twilight Brigade? How do you have such a thing?" Sulis looked at the lines of words and immediately guessed Triton's plan.
These pieces of paper were exactly the certificates of the "Twilight Brigade" opera troupe. It was unknown whether Triton forged them or got them from somewhere else. His purpose was naturally very simple, which was to pretend to be the "Twilight Brigade" and board the "Great Eastern" to make a fortune.
"I hosted one a few years ago, and when I was cleaning the room, I naturally found the one they had missed, and then I copied the whole set based on it."
"Besides, because of my reception, I am very familiar with the process of their performance, so it is not difficult to impersonate them."
"Not difficult? What sweet dream are you having, Triton?" Sulis touched the fat boy's forehead to make sure he was not crazy.
"First of all, we don't have enough people. Second, we don't have that much skill. Finally, how do you know if anyone on the cruise ship has ever seen the real 'Twilight Brigade'?"
"These can all be solved." Triton looked at Allen and Luna who turned their attention.
"Only 5-6 people are needed, because we are just a branch of the 'Twilight Brigade'. Besides, the performance at sea is not very large, so it will mainly be singing and simple operettas."
