BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

The next morning. Of course the sky could not replace it. Even as the sun rises, a bitter black cloud covers the sky. Every day I can't even feel the coming of a new day. I can't help but feel depressed by the residents.

Two people, Raven and Joe, were visiting the Limia Tourist Riorg Branch, as Anderson told them. Heading to the boarding yard, there was a sailboat that was much bigger than what happened when the two of them went fishing with Anderson.

"You, Nelson, are you a young aquatic builder?

At the boarding yard, there was a person who spoke up to two people who were longing for the giant ship in front of them, and when the two looked back, a muscularly brave man stood. Unlike Anderson, it looks very dependable. There are a few scars on his face, and from his eyes, I can ask about the strength of his core.

"Yes."

"Was I still? I'm your captain, Lambert."

The man who showed up before Joe and Raven. That was Lambert Anderson said yesterday. Even though I was able to survive as the last captain in this town, I can only snort by the looks of it.

"Regards"

The two were horrified to see Lambert. If Lambert was a little fat middle-aged man like Anderson, they were just getting anxious about sailing ahead.

"Still, you guys were lucky. It's nothing but bad luck for me to lose my boat in this town."

The words of Lambert were a little disgusting. He is the only captain in Riorg who is free to move the ship. He was a little drunk on the wine.

"I thought we wouldn't be able to get on the boat the whole time."

Joe had mixed feelings of anticipation and anxiety. It is a pleasure to be able to take the boat out to sea again.

But the sea surrounding Riorg was terribly rough, and I had to worry about my upcoming voyage.

"Don't worry. My Misericordia has crossed this cursed sea many times. Don't worry, you're going to be on a big ship."

Lambert was seeing through Joe's anxiety.

"So when are you leaving?

Joe and Raven were wussed because they wanted to get on the boat quickly. I haven't been aboard in months. Finally, we can step into the sea of nostalgia. Waiting ahead is a job with a chance to grab a grand.

"You should be able to leave in less than an hour. The crew and passengers are all here. You should look inside Misericordia until we leave."

Lambert had the expectation that the two of them would have great expectations for their upcoming voyage. Even if it's not him, you can tell by looking at the two excited faces. Finally the man of the sea can return to the sea. We can go back to where we belong, even in a few moments.

Shortly after they replied, they rushed inside the Misericordia. Seeing the two shagging like children, Lambert sighed gently.

"I can't believe I got on such a big boat!

Raven raised his voice unexpectedly. Misericordia was a big enough ship from the outside, but from the inside, I can feel its size again.

"Oh, absolutely."

Joe couldn't return a big word. I was so obsessed with the view that I couldn't find a word to say.

"You're a face I don't see. Guests?"

A man came out looking at two people who were in love with Misericordia's interior in a strange way. He is a little short and has a big cob on his face, but from his deflected sleeve, he sees a muscle in his elbow.

"Ah, yes. We're going to Adford."

Having enjoyed the luxurious sight for a while, Joe took a little while to respond.

Even in the meantime, Raven was looking at the interior without worrying about how this one was.

"Adford? So you're going to be a coal miner?"

"That's right. We were at Nelson Fisheries, but I don't have a job staying here."

Joe's eyes telling that were somewhere sad. It reminded me of a sad day when I went to the coast every day to think of a place I loved after an endless storm.

Now it's filled with bright feelings, but until yesterday Joe and Raven were filled with dark feelings.

"Now it's impossible to cross this ocean outside of Misericordia. It must have been tough. I'm Hank. For a short time, thank you."

Hank gave Joe his hand.

"I'm Joe. This is Raven. Best regards,"

Joe exchanged hands with Hank.

"Hahnk! Help me over here!

In the meantime, I heard that from a little far.Unlike the two of us, Hank is a crew member.

I left the ship shortly. Joe and Raven watched their gradually distant homeland wet from the deck into the rain. Two people staring at their dwarfing homeland forever.

But there were no feelings of remorse or untrained there at all. I'm going to wait because I know it's a bright future. Finally, we can get out of the irreplaceable dark days.

"Hey you guys! Stay in the guest room! If you stay here, you'll catch a cold!

Lambert, who was taking the helm, calls out to the two of them. Not to mention the only ship that can navigate the sea of curses, if you're on deck, you'll be immediately affected by the storm. There are rooms available but you don't have to bother to get wet from yourself anywhere.

"Yes!"

When they replied, they went into the room, looking back several times on their home town as they turned away.

Even as he entered the room, he heard a lot of rain and wind pounding against the walls. How the hell is this storm spreading across the board?

Misericordia had more than 100 rooms, most of which were available, especially on this operation with few passengers.

In the rooms there was a hall for passengers to interact with each other. There were several tables in the hall, as well as a counter. I was able to laugh while drinking.

Joe and Raven never went into a private room. Because I thought it would be better to walk around the interior of this large Misericordia or talk to the guests on board than to be two people in a small room.

When the two headed into the hall, the first thing I noticed was a well-fitted skinhead man. Wearing a thin dirty shirt, he was drinking, staring into the universe with a worrying look somewhere.

Obviously the best thing to do is not get involved with someone who might have a problem, the two of them knew it and tried to get past it, trying not to look at the guy as much as possible.

"You guys left Riorg to look for a job, too?

Two thoughts were also vain, and the man called out. Though he drinks, he seems to be someone who is well conscious and able to talk serious.

"... Yes, it is"

They were two people who tried to pass by pretending not to notice for a moment, but decided to have a conversation with a man. I can't reveal the fact that I already have a decided job in front of the man who left Riorg to look for a job.

"Right... I'm Thomas. I'm a root-seaman. And yet, what the hell is wrong with you? The sea of Riorg has been cursed. If you stay in Riorg, you'll lose my place."

Thomas, the man of the sea, started talking about himself even though he hadn't heard. He worked at sea just like the two of us, but it looks like he lost his job because of the storm.

"That never-ending storm in Riorg, where most of the work on the ocean was... I'm not really twisted"

Joe sympathized with Thomas. Joe was right, there were few jobs in Riorg that did not involve the sea. I mean, most people are losing their jobs.

"Oh, not at all. I thought about staying in Riorg and looking for work, but there's nothing I can do about it unless that storm's over."

Thomas had a non-floating look. How much alcohol I drank, I couldn't do anything about this nasty thought. He sincerely wants to go out to sea again.

"With you, Mr. Thomas left Riorg looking for a job, too, didn't he? Where are you going?

Raven hit Thomas with a simple question. To say “too" would mean that he also left his beloved hometown for the same reasons as Joe and Raven.

"Regrettably, yes. I can't live without leaving my hometown anymore. I have a family, too. Not if you're always into your hometown."

Thomas' face, speaking so, was distorted by remorse. His love for the sea in his hometown, I guess, is considerable.

But what you can't live with just what you like is life.

"... I see. So, where are you looking for a job?

"Where... then where is this ship going? Only Brace River is close to home and can work at sea."

"Is that where you find a job?

"You, you don't know Brace River? That's a city of trade that can't compare to Riorg! It's not like Riorg to only be involved with the surrounding countries! Over there, ships gather from all over the world. We have sailors from all over the world!

Thomas' tone gets stronger.

"Is that true? Can a young man like us do another job in the ocean?

Raven's heart was shaking. He's also a man of the sea at one end. Because of my dream of becoming a millionaire, I was going to abandon my ocean work to live, but if I could make money doing what I wanted, I'd never go beyond it.

"Raven!"

It was Joe who spoke to Raven, who was completely fascinated by the story of the rooted sailor. Joe stares at the sky raven completely above him with a frightened face.

"What are you thinking? He's right, Brace River may have sailors from all over the world. But you don't always have a job, do you?

Joe whispered in Raven's ear, not to sound like Thomas.

"Ships come together from all over the world, don't they? I have work to do!

Raven was completely obsessed with Thomas' story. With Thomas as he is, I guess he's going to be a man of the sea again at Brace River.

"Even so, I can't let the president's favor go unhindered. I was introduced to my job. For the president's sake, let's go to Adford. Besides, I just think looking for a job in Brace River is gonna be a long way off for your dreams."

Raven is bewildered by the sweet story in front of him. That's what Joe thought. Indeed, a new path may open up in Brace River.

That said, I didn't have to go out of my way to risk it here.

"It's..."

For the first time here, Raven went home to me. It was a dream, he was drawn back to reality at once. It was Raven who was trying to argue at first, but he lost his mind as he thought about it.

Thomas looked strangely at how those two were doing.

"Rita!

Doing so, suddenly such a voice reached three ears. The Lord of his voice soon understood.

The Lord of the Voice was an old man. Wearing a worn thin shirt, he holds a thin, dirty, thick book. The cheeks are lean, enough to know the skeleton.

Those eyes were lost their liveliness and vain as if they were out of focus anywhere.

"We need to get out of Riorg as soon as possible! That town is cursed!

It was those words that emanated from him that seemed to make the people around him unhappy. He was right, the Misericordia had not yet left the waters of Riorg.

This sea area, once called the sea of treasure. It took time to break through, so to speak of Misericordia, who continued to sail in the storm.

No one tried to speak up to anyone who was likely to suffer misfortune just by getting involved. Except for one...

"Why do you think so? I'm Joe."

One of them is about Joe. He's cursed, but he seems interested in stories like that.

"... it's Ruth. This sea is no longer a treasure sea. The Sea of Curse. This is not just a storm. I saw it! The culprit of this storm!

Ruth, who had never dreamed of being spoken to by others, answered Joe after a while.

"What the hell is the culprit?

Ruth's answer added to Joe's interest. Indeed, a storm that never ends for a long time is not normal, no matter what you think.

"I was watching. Horizontal. All the way from the coast...... I saw that one day. Something horrible. I didn't think it was very much of the world. That's the devil! The devil cursed Riorg."

Ruth's eyes, which were vain, were opened at once. In his hands is held a book entitled "To Protect Yourself from the Devil”. Ruth's answer is whilst increasing Joe's interest.

The demon who brought the storm to Riorg. That's the only thing Joe can think of when he says it. I witnessed him on his last voyage in Riorg, the alien captain.

"Ha! Ridiculous curse? Devil? There's no way there's such a thing!

Raven, who was listening, laughs it off aloud.

Joe is cursed by demons, and he's intrigued by stories like that.

In contrast, Raven did not believe in any such story. Even though I actually witnessed it with those eyes. For Raven, who doesn't believe in “superstition," Ruth's story was an absurd mere fabrication.

"What are you talking about? ⁉ Raven, you saw it that day, too."

"I haven't seen anything. If you saw it, it's a bad dream."

Raven didn't change any of his policies. Indeed, he witnessed a terrible captain that day. That was so horrible that I didn't want to admit I saw it.

Besides, it is now clear that the devil exists, but in this day and age there were still few who knew the existence of the devil, but few who believed themselves.

"Stupid... really stupid. Why don't you just admit it! Demons exist in this world! They're always after us. If we don't know how to protect ourselves, we're in big trouble! Anyway, we have to leave this ocean!

Whatever Ruth was told from around him, he wasn't even willing to change his opinion. Demons exist in this world.

For humans of this age, that may be a crappy delusion, but Ruth was capturing the truth. In all times, those who go beyond the times will not be understood.

"Joe! Don't believe this nonsense! Don't listen to this old story!

Contrary to when Raven is distracted by Thomas' story, Raven is now trying to detract from Joe's interest.

But that was futile. Joe's interest in supernatural phenomena cannot be dismissed. From the time he met the cursed captain, Joe may have been put on a kind of curse.

"I'm not talking absurd! You're the one who makes fun of the devil and looks at his painful eyes."

It was Ruth, who did not lend ears to the opinions of others, but did not put up with Raven, who kept denying it head-on.

In this day and age, those advocating the existence of the devil were ridiculed. That was something I had no choice about. Even if you were telling the truth, if that's a flying thing, you just seem like a freak.

"Uuuuuuuuuuu"

Raven, with his brains cut off by Ruth arranging too many ridiculous opinions, shouts out loud and takes one step to Ruth.

Gatan

It was that moment. The hull of the Misericordia on which they ride rocks enormously.

Everyone in the hall had a physical imbalance. Some fell to the floor, others just had to fall apart. Regardless, the lean Ruth was falling to the floor.

"Sneaking around! Sneaky!"

Ruth keeps screaming like crazy. It was a cry that included grief.

Looking at Ruth from the side, he just seems to be forcing all the phenomena that occur in front of him to be linked to the devil.

On the other hand, Joe also felt something about the current phenomenon. The ship may have been seated in the storm. Or is there anything more? He could not contain the feeling of deviation.

Now, if you go outside, I feel like something big is waiting for you. Joe, who didn't feel that way, ran up the room stairs without thinking about anything else and headed to the deck.

Realizing that, Raven rushed after Joe.
