Over the Sea Vol 1 [chapter 7] : We’ll be Happy Together Forever 

It's late... The moon is big and clear in the sky. Reflecting his own shadow swaying on the surface of the water. Silence descended upon him. Only the sound of waves crashing against the harbor of a large port city could be heard.

A clean-faced girl wearing fine clothes unlike any other street kid sat hunched in the shadows next to a large wooden crate near the pier. She sits facing the sea. His small arms hugged himself tightly from the cold air of the late autumn night. However, the eyes beneath the strands of hair shone with determination...

Suddenly, the skyline appeared as a huge black shadow, like a small city, moving quickly towards the harbor. Soon it was close enough to see that it was a fleet of various forms, including junks, galleons, airships, strange-looking ships, and countless other ships. Some float in the sea. Some fly in the air

But the most notable one was the large three-masted sailboat made entirely of wood that floated in front of the fleet. The flag atop the mast fluttered in the wind. Its blue background almost blended with the night sky. Make the letter pattern and white quill on the flag stand out. The ship had distanced itself from the fleet that had stopped at the mouth of the bay. Head straight through the water and into the pier.

A small figure rose up, small legs ran to the dock and stopped in front of the wooden bridge. Waiting for that sailboat to dock. The waves of the sea crashed against the bridge, causing it to wobble as the boat approached. The noise and commotion on the deck mixed with laughter sounded lively. The big anchor was cast down. Before the main board was moved down until it touched the bridge floor

She rushed over and stopped in front of the wooden board. Not long after, a young man's slender figure walked down with ease. messy ruby ​​colored hair Very eye-catching, fluttering in the breeze at night.

“Ah?” The young man squeaked in surprise when he saw the small figure at the end of the board. “Little Miss? What are you doing at the pier so late at night? It's dangerous.” He hurriedly took a long step. Down to the bridge Then he bent his head down and looked into his eyes. “Hurry up and go home. The house will be worried soon."

“I..I'm not going back!” She mustered up the courage to shout loudly. Get the attention of people on the boat. Many sailors and sailors clung to the side of the ship and looked down.

Some people clenched their hands tightly and gathered their courage again. Then he continued without hesitation. “This ship is the ark of imagination, right!? If so, I'd like to join you on the boat too! I have always dreamed of being the creator of an imaginary bird. But my parents didn't support me. When I learned that a caravan of imaginary ships would come to my city to pick up crew,

So I ran away from my parents and waited. Even though I may not be of much help. But please accept me as a crew member!?” he said loudly. The tears that he tried to hold back broke down and fell down his cheeks. It very well draws sympathy from the people in front of you.

“Oh, don't cry, Miss,” the red-haired man reassured as he raised his hand to caress the little girl's head gently. I'll take you up to see the ship for a bit first. After that, let's talk about it, okay?" The young man's bright smile was like the moonlight leading the way on a moonless night.

The girl quickly nodded in agreement. Seeing this, the man with the smile immediately changed his expression to a mischievous one. He turned his head and shouted loudly up onto the ship, “Hey! Mr. Deputy I'll take the girl on the boat. Please come down and register the ship with the harbor guard for me!”

A stillness even greater than that of the graveyard spread for a moment, and the humming sound of the sailors on deck could almost be heard. Before a tall, fierce-faced man with long hair and an eye patch appeared, he stood with his arms crossed on top of a wooden board. There's also a big, round moon in the background... It looks like he's standing pretentiously at an angle...

“Woman?” A cold voice rang out as colder eyes looked straight down at the person shouting. “That's a lost child.” He paused as he walked down the pegboard. “Besides, I've heard the whole story. But even so Our boat caravan travels to many foreign countries.

If the child's home does not consent I probably won't let you go on the boat with me..."

“I didn't say I'd be a crew member,” the redhead said, his cheerful face turning into a scowl in the blink of an eye. “That matter. Think about it later. As for you, hurry. Let's go register the boat." With that, he took the small figure's hand and walked him up to the wooden board. But not yet halfway through the bridge. The cold voice of 'Young Master' suddenly rang out.

“What exactly are you planning to do, Captain..?”

The 'Captain' stopped his steps and the girl looked up. Only to find a frown on his face. But then that face quickly flashed a wide, playful smile again. “Thinking of sending you off to find the station's guard. Damn you, Second Sir.”

When Mr. Rong Saendu was behind Mr. Rong Saendu's back, the captain took the 'woman' onto the boat and explained this and that to him. “This is the anchor winch. Over there is the mast. Above the mast was a crow's nest. A green-headed, dull-faced person there was a navigator. As for the engine helm of this boat, he rarely comes out of the engine room. And the shipping bridge..."

His soft voice cheerfully explained as he led the little girl by the hand to various spots on the ship. His playful nature seemed to be endearing and affectionate to all the sailors and crew members. This was different from the vice-captain from earlier... who seemed to be even more respected than the captain...

“Captain,” a small voice called out. After the young captain took a tour of the ship. and brought them to stay and watch the sea at night at the stern of the boat “Are you...really not going to let me go with you..?”

That question immediately caused the young man who was enjoying the calm atmosphere of the sea to frown. “I also want you to go with me. But if that's the case, it will be like what the Deputy said... Your parents will be worried.”

“But I...”

“Young lady, try to have a future for yourself…” The young captain interrupted in a gentle tone. “Me too. Until I become the captain of this ship I went through stories that were both sad and happy. But it was a lesson. And it is the result of my own determination.”

“Your own volition..?” The girl repeated. “Does that mean your parents don't support it?”

"A..." The tall figure raised his arms and placed his chin on the bow of the boat. “Is that so? I don't know.” He tilted his head slightly in thought. "If you're not bored, Shall I tell you?”

“Yes.” Little Miss nodded shyly. “Captain, can you please tell me a story? I like listening to stories.”

The young man laughed cheerfully at the request. Those eyes shone softly. The expression on his face at this time was different from his irritated expression. Completely previous “Haha, okay, then... Once upon a time, long ago... Ah! No, it wasn't that long... There is a handsome boy who dreams of becoming the creator of an imaginary bird...

...He loves all the imaginary birds very much... Keeping an eye on you all day and all night until your mother gets angry. In anger, the mother attacked the imaginary birds until they were injured. boy crying sad But he didn't abandon his dream. He keeps saving his pocket money every day...every day. To buy imaginary birds to fulfill his dreams forever...

When the boy grows up to be a young man He had the opportunity to meet two friends. It's the cold boss and the dumb broker. All three of them love fantasy birds as well. They are very close. and love each other like brothers

But then one day The young man suddenly realized that in a world where telepathy was so advanced that societies that were once far apart were now close to each other just by connecting their minds. Beautiful language is beginning to be transformed into visual information that is more accessible to people. The imaginary bird that made beautiful sounds began to decline because people were not paying attention.

So he tried his best to bring together bird creators and those who still love imaginary birds. To drive the dream of engraving the stories of imaginary birds into people's memories. But at that time His dream was viewed as just a child's vain, idle dream...

Time passes The young boy grew up to be a young man. But his dream remains unchanged. The young man consulted with the cold master and the dazed broker. about his dreams Both of them agreed. and helped save money to buy a big boat Announcement seeking a sailor with a passion for imaginary waters to become a sailor of the ship.

A dreamy young man accepts the position of captain. While Mr. Yen is vice-captain. and the confused broker

The three of them sailed to pick up the bird creator. Including general people who are interested in birds and waters, go on boats. Go on an adventure in the waters of imagination. Docks to various cities to receive crew From one person... Two people... became ten people, a hundred people, a thousand people... from just one ship. Another ship was added. It eventually became a caravan of imaginary ships.

Many times we have encountered storms, whirlpools, sea monsters, ghost ships, or had to fight sea cucumbers. and countless other matters they faced, but the three were always able to bring every crew member out safely. and continue to pursue this big dream Even if you have to go on an adventure or face any other dangers...

“Until now... That good-looking captain still didn't know that. How can a cute little kid who is fascinated by imaginary birds grow up to be the cool and talented captain of an imaginary ship?” The young captain finished the story. Calling out soft laughter from young girls very well

“Captain, but you didn't tell me that the captain was the same age as me. What kind of life does he live? He must be a lot more special than other kids, right?”

“Not at all!” The thin figure shook his head vigorously. “He was just a naughty kid. It's worth pinching the cheeks of an ordinary person who didn't run away from home. I'm not just dreaming to the point of losing my job. In fact, I'm really no different from other normal kids.”

“But…” the young man continued. “He always believed that Just dare to think, dare to dream, dare to imagine. and determined to make that dream come true No matter what the present is The future must definitely be as you dream.”

“You too, right? Even if now it's not as dreamed But if I'm still determined The future must be like what I dreamed of, right?” the girl asked, her big, beautiful eyes looking up at the person in front of her. When he saw the other party nodding in agreement, She closed her eyes. Looking at the ground with a sad smile on his lips.”

That was also my refusal to board the ship. Mr. Captain..?”

"..." The young man was silent... raised a warm hand and rubbed his head gently. of the small body gently "Five or six more years..."

"yes?"

“About five more years... When you grow up to be a strong and beautiful young woman. Parents are not worried anymore. I'll come pick you up again. At this pier at this time... you have to wait for me..? Promise?”

"..." The young girl had tears in her eyes. But he didn't cry again. She jumped into the captain's arms. Saying many thanks from the heart The young man just laughed loudly. and teased the mischievous little girl until she revealed a cheerful smile. The tears suddenly evaporated and turned into a spark of happiness in the eyes...

Meanwhile, on the other side...

“Have you returned yet, Second Sergeant..?” He greeted the young man with a dark expression absentmindedly. Walking towards the other party who had just returned to the boat. “The moon is beautiful tonight... The imaginary bird is singing the song of the moonlight…”

“Thank you, Tonhon,” the handsome deputy hurriedly cut in before Mr. Tonnon could speak to the end of the rainbow. He set out to find the captain. Leaving the young navigator who looked up from his notebook and continued to look at the moon...

Until the stern of the ship The vice-captain was surprised to find the mischievous captain sitting on the deck floor. There was a troubled little girl sleeping soundly on my lap. When the captain saw him, he smiled widely. Pat the floor next to you as a gesture for them to sit together. The young vice-captain then walked over to him. “What are you doing, Captain?”

“Just sit there,” the young man replied teasingly before changing the subject. “Here, Mr. Deputy. I've made up my mind about this young lady. Tomorrow I will take her home. I'll leave you with the arrangements for recruiting a new crew member.” He said, “Five years from now. I will dock here at the same time.”

Thin eyebrows raised suspiciously. “Are you thinking of raising Toi?”

The captain turned around and stared until his neck nearly hurt. The blood vessels near the temples throbbed in a cha-cha-cha rhythm. “Have you ever died? The second nobleman?”

“No,” the second noble replied with a deadpan expression. “If I really die You also have to do all the work yourself, Captain. Consider it my order.”

“Then don't die. Stay with me for a long time." The young man pouted as soon as work was threatened. "But... it's not just because of work, I don't want you to die... Both you...and the navigator...everyone..." a soft voice said softly...

“Everyone... they're like my family...” The thin figure was a bit quiet. Before I could think of it, “Ah! Don't be too happy. I didn't pay any special attention to you!!”

The Vice-Captain heard this and a smile curled his lips like he had not seen in years. “Yes…” He responded, reaching out to ruffle his red hair. of the respected father of the captain

Then the captain grabbed the deputy's hand. He shouted loudly until the girl woke up. Then there was the chase and catch extravaganza. Causing laughter from the sailors and crew. As for the navigator, he continued to look up at the moon...

and happiness... gradually overflowing throughout the ark of imagination...

Talk !!

Hello, I have come to write a special chapter for a special book given out at special events like

Carnival Fantasy

Together with the beloved writers and Nong Prae.

DarkPhoenix

The writer felt extra happy than any other occasion. I am just a no-name writer. Even the works on the internet still take a year to be published. When I had the opportunity to do this duty, it was very special. (Even though I got this right as one of the organizers who had to prepare to play the role of captain, haha)

Because the problem is the captain. Normally, the captain would be happy about Pachinko. And everyone wrote about the captain in that light. When you receive a question, write to the captain. Therefore, I would like to present the captain from the perspective that is the reason... Why is the captain the captain? Not the deputy, not the navigator, but the leader...

Although this story is not as hilarious with the captain's mischievousness as the others. But I hope readers will also be impressed by another side of the captain. Although it may not bring a funny smile from the reader. But the writer wants the time for readers to read now to be over. You will be able to smile happily from your heart as well.
