Perplexed and Smitten (44)

The captain decided to return when the rain became lighter.

They stood at the harbor to wait quietly.

The weather was rather strange, because about half an hour later, the initial drizzle grew into a thundery shower that was even heavier than before.

At this moment, another ship approached.

"No matter where this ship is headed to, let's just board it for a while."

"Okay."

Once the ship stopped over at the harbor, the two of them talked to the people on the ship and paid the fare before boarding.

The ship was rather old and worn out, and it reeked of a strong stench. They decided to pay a little more for a cubicle.

However, the cubicle was merely a partition made from wooden planks.

Although the space was rather limited, there was at least a small washroom inside.
