From day to night, I always feel drowsy during the day but become extremely excited at night.
This is mainly due to not living at sea for a long time...
It is quieter at night, and the sound of the tide is very loud under the moonlight. People who are used to entertainment during the day and sleeping at night usually find it difficult to sleep at this time. Moreover, the shaky cabin is not as comfortable as on land, and they are usually prone to insomnia.
After a few days of this, your entire biological clock will become one where you go out to party at night and sleep all day.
Sean's words were better.
Although Lucille had been in a fleet when she was a child, she had not traveled by sea for so many years, so she probably had lost the habit.
At night she still couldn't sleep...
The two of them lived in a small cabin room. The bed was right at the entrance, and the beds were placed together horizontally and vertically. An adult like Sean even had to curl up his legs to lie down.
There are no windows in the cabin, but you can hear the sound of wind and waves outside!
"Teacher, are you asleep?" Lucille's question came in the dark night.
"What's wrong?"
Sean is a person who stays up late, and he would not fall asleep in such an environment. When he heard the other person talking, he replied.
"I can't sleep..."
There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone.
If Lucille had been raised by him for the past ten years, their relationship would have been like family, far surpassing the relationship between master and apprentice. Lucille didn't talk to many people on weekdays. Although she could meet some playmates of the same age in every area, she still followed Sean everywhere.
This is probably the only place where she can act coquettishly!
Sean certainly understood her, but after the time difference, he couldn't imagine the vicious Lucille she'd become, actually being an ordinary girl at her age. He replied into the darkness, "It's really not a good time to sleep at sea later."
"Shall we turn our heads together?" Lucille suddenly suggested.
The two beds were arranged in a continuous "7" shape. They were currently occupying one end each, with their feet together. If they switched sides, their heads would be together, with their feet spread apart...
Maybe the little girl wanted to talk, so Sean had to move so that they were leaning on the same turning point.
When the hair is close to each other, you can feel the temperature of the other person's head, but it does make it easier to talk when you are this close.
"Teacher, do you miss home after being away for so long?" Lucille suddenly asked.
This...
Sean didn't know how to respond yet.
Home.
That has to be something to be called a home. After getting married ten years later, I do have a home, but this time I asked to go to the timeline to understand the reasons later, so this can be regarded as a business trip.
If I want to go back, it is also relatively easy. I just need to go back to the time when I was sleeping at home and wake up. Besides, this time I will only be away for a while so I won’t miss home.
I wanted to say no, but considering the current environment, I still have to say something else...
"Hmm?" Lucille seemed to be waiting for her answer.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, he asked questions.
"Home? That's something we need to have first. Maybe I'll have a home someday. You will too... but before that, you'll mostly be wandering around the world."
"The whole world is my home?" Lucille seemed not to understand the word.
"It means that wherever you go is home," Sean explained.
"But... I often hear those civilians and businessmen say that after a long time, they will also miss home." Lucille asked back.
I don't know who she heard that from.
According to the stage of this period, the two have lived in the southern region for many years, and they may have made some ordinary friends on Lucille Road.
"Most people would, but think about it, the world is so big, you can't stay in one place forever... Although for many people, they may live in a small area their entire lives, or even haven't left too far for generations, that's their problem, but as for you, are you willing to do that?"
Sean began to speak, but at this moment he recalled what the old driver said when he first left the town a few years ago.
"Many people can't change anything in their lives, or are simply unable to change. Even the most idealistic people will eventually compromise with reality and the environment. This is also true for those who go out to work hard. After a few years, most of them return to their hometowns disheartened. They may achieve nothing in their lives, or live a dull life, but one day they can recall the courage they had to go out when they were young, and they will feel that it is a treasure."
Sean no longer remembers the exact words, but the meaning is roughly the same.
I didn't expect that after bypassing the confusing timeline, I would actually talk about it with young Lucille!
"Is the mentor a person who travels around the world?" Lucille asked again.
"It can be said that..." The last one was not said out loud.
Suddenly, Sean wondered if he had changed something. If so, that was the reason why Lucille was traveling around ten years later.
“Lucille.”
"Hmm!" a soft voice came.
"You shouldn't travel too much in the future. If you really need to travel, it can't be for a lifetime. When the time is right, you need to settle down and find a city you like to live in."
"Well, if the teacher gets married, then I will live with him. Wherever he lives, I will live too!"
"Oh~Okay, if you're willing then."
Sean didn't take the teenage girl's words seriously...
Just like those wishes we made under the night sky in childhood, no matter how beautiful they are, most of them cannot be realized!
Well?!!
???
Suddenly, there was a moment when Sean was stunned.
In her normal timeline, Lucille had changed her ways after returning from Kserk and was willing to stay. Could this be the reason? However, her and her identities had never been made public, and even if she did, they wouldn't believe it after so many years.
But from what the other party said just now, Sean had a vague feeling that he was filling a hole in the future!
"Then it's a deal. I will live with my mentor from now on!"
"ha……"
Clang~
The boat shook again, probably because the wind and waves suddenly became stronger, but the sounds of people pedaling and raising the sails were still busy.
……………………
The next morning, the two woke up.
Getting up early...
And most of them were woken up by noises.
Lucille went to the food supply area early to get a kettle of water and canned goods to prepare for breakfast.
There is almost no fresh food when living on the sea. Except for fish, everything else needs to be preserved for a long time, otherwise it will go bad in a day or two in this stuffy environment.
