Magical Adventure Book

[Chapter 42-2] Massage Plus-Plus Beach Edge

Finally, we arrived at Velbar Island. The place to stop that should have been a day ago had Andapala entourage entered, to fill the food stock and rest for a while.

What to say. It has survived the ferocity of the big ship alone, has become a big advantage. Congratulations on the artificial storm, whose idea came from me.

Camn it!

After successfully sinking the ship that could not be sank, we stumbled to sail with five remaining ships, which then reduced again one fleet in the middle of the road. Already unable to pay off - the wood extends below the hull which becomes a refutation of the entire ship - carrying the load, while the waves are so hard near the waters of Velbar Island.

The remaining four fleets of Sunkalopa, plus one black ship belonging to Captain Sando. It is anchored at Velbar pier, which is located in the country of Lasto. The Andapala Kingdom.

Were it not for the insane battle yesterday, this place with a shady tropical climate, I would have enjoyed it to the fullest.

A relaxed and calm atmosphere, plus the hospitality of the locals. This place is indeed right to be a tourist destination, for tourists from various countries.

Getting off the ship, we were greeted with hospitality, by the head of the area and his entourage. A very nice welcome as a guest of honor.

Naturally, because Andapala and Lasto establish close relationships in various fields, even have the same historical grassroots. That was according to the welcoming speech, by the head of the area, whose stomach was as distended as Falcoa's.

I was a bit upset, as the guests were welcome to move into the inn. Not because only a few vehicles were provided, to transport the crew to their destination, but because of Leo's attitude that returned to me.

Yes, his attitude while on the ship is still continuing. Cue the bodo period to me and the blonde Yenz-man in the carriage-carty troupe-and even tail Falcoa, though the Buncit made him like a lackey with no pride.

Surprisingly, he was treated like that. Really pisses me off. I didn't think he had natural talent as a sycophant!

Indeed, he was given better food, service, and other facilities than anyone else. Ride a luxury train in the car of the Governor of Sunkalopa. But, was it comparable to the harsh treatment he received?

Ah, the bodo time. The thought made my body, which was already this crumbling, scream more and more in pain.

The distance from the port to the inn, it is not too far away, but with the condition of the body that is not fit, it clearly makes this short trip so excruciating.

"Sir, need a massage?" The words of a short man, wearing an unbuttoned beach shirt, brought my steps to a halt.

"Sorry, there's no need. I now just need to rest, and sleep a long time," I replied to the man in short pants, with the upper bald head, who wore a patterned headband. The typical decoration of this area seems to be. Because, many islanders, including the head of the area earlier, also wore such objects.

"Don't hesitate, sir. I guarantee you'll be satisfied with my plus-plus massage." The talk of the origin of the chirp, even more makes me resolve to reject his offer.

What does that plus-pluses mean. What I know from the internet, the meaning of the sentence is commonly used to show taboo.

"Sorry, I don't need it" I refused as decently as possible.

"Come, Master. Cheap rates. Only fifty pieces. You can still bargain again. Please, Mister. I need this money to eat. It's been a long time since pirates started coming into the waters near here. Please help me, sir."

Damnit damnit! Hearing him grovel, made me so full. It was just rude of the pirates. Because of them, many people are miserable. Including me in it.

"Ok, fine then. But I warned you! Don't you dare fuck around! Especially about the plus-plus you said earlier!" I said while looking at him directly with squashed eyes.

The sparsely-toothed man laughed at my threat.

"Calm down, sir. I am a professional worker. The plus-plus point was, additional service while massaging. You can tell me to tell stories, to tell stories, to sing, even if my voice is no better than the neighing of a horse, or just chatting. If you want, even I can be a good listener. Guaranteed, my Master's story will be saved and brought to the bottom of the ocean to die though."

Calm down my heart hears that.

The local native of Velbar Island, named Pud'e, led me to the beach. The title of the mat that he had been carrying in a handclap. Among the shady trees are thin-stemmed shrimp the name of the tree if said Pud'e-which is planted neatly, along the coastline.

I undressed according to his instructions. Rather doubtful, because it is still remembered about the plus-plusnya sentence. But the bodo, it is. We were at the beach, which is, the majority of the men here, don't care even bare-chested.

Even if he dares to mess around, jotosan Margo certainly can make himself horrified.

I slept on my stomach, with both hands folded as pads. Comfortable can also rest like this in the wild. My body is sick, it feels a little treated, by the positive energy released by the atmosphere of this beautiful beach.

Pud'e's thin hands started to spread warm oil over my back. I hope he's not amused to mix with disgust, when he sees and touches Margo's hairy gorilla-like body.

Honestly speaking. I myself, too, feel uncomfortable every time I bathe and see mangrove forests flourishing, in the large body of this man.

The massage session begins. I grimaced a few times or screamed. Do not expect that people with a small posture that stores a large energy. Not too surprised anyway, because it has often also seen the magic power, from the young man jamet the brash sycophant.

"It seems like Master has made a long, heavy journey huh?" ask Pud'e while pressing on my shoulder blade.

I grimaced before answering. "so. I've been through a lot these past few months."

"That's obvious. The joints in the Master's body are indeed a lot of stiffening. Good thing you met me. You'll feel like you've just been born, after a good night's sleep."

I laughed hearing that. "You're like a fortune teller. But I admit, your massage does have a steady."

"That's how it should be, sir. After all, for an experienced masseuse like me, reading a customer through his body, is not impossible and difficult."

I'm starting to get interested in hearing his chatter. "Read what you mean?"

"Virtually like a fortune teller, but not the supernatural science that shamans have. Just a prediction and guess from looking at the condition of the Master's body."

Ah, I think I understand what he meant. Maybe like the expertise of the British detective cangklong. Even though the story is fictional, but I believe there are people who can do it.

It'sit's nothing. Because, I have seen and admired him several times directly. A great skill called hot reading or cold reading.

Who else would have done it if it wasn't Tama. With that skill, he could easily figure out our hidden intentions - me and Wanara - and retaliate with insolence, which left us only able to gouge.

Well, for those of you who yesterday asked, "Why did Tama know Wanara would be like that?" In the first arc of the book, that is the answer.

Understand right? Yes, let me continue my great story.

"Then how do you read me?" I'm more and more interested in the greatness of Pud’e.

I moaned when this shoulder he squeezed tight.

"This master is a person endowed with great luck. Unfortunately, you often feel hesitant and afraid in making decisions. So, on many occasions, you lose a good moment, which you might take."

Waita minute! This guy is reading Margo or me, actually? Apart from luck, his words about my nature have a point.

"Trust me, sir, for the decision you make. As long as you hold on to the value of kindness, there will be no regrets at the end."

Pud'e moved to massage my hand.

"Seeing the condition of Master like this, I'm sure there will be great events waiting for you later on. Believe in the decisions you make, and also the friends who are with you."

I was shocked to hear that. The figure of the young man jamet with his illuminated crest, vaguely imagined in the eye patch.

"Then, what about friends who just walk away, for the sake of luxury?" my many. Started to shake off Leo's strange behavior.

He did not answer directly. Move to the other side, to massage my other hand.

"I believe and hold the principle of cause and effect. Nothing happens without a trigger. Maybe before you judge others, you try to correct yourself. Not to patronize, but sometimes we alpha our attitude toward others."

The shit's starting to suck. After all, as far as I can remember, until now Leo never worried, nor did he care for him. Contrary even to the actions of Falcoa.

Well, indeed, for two weeks in Kalopa, he was a lot of times I had to make it. But I did it politely and well.

"But man is a complicated creature. Sometimes there is a hidden purpose and purpose to his actions. If that's the case, then you should see, how he treats Mister, in a time of really precarious conditions."

Waitaminute! If Leo really wanted to stay away or hurt my attitude, then why did he fight to help me during the incident against the red ship? Could have been, right, he told someone else to save me? Or maybe just leave without caring about me anymore.

I was still silent crammed with a lot of questions, until the massage on both legs was done. End of this hairy body treatment session. And still I can't find the answer.

"Alright, Sir. I'm sure tomorrow you'll be fresh and fit, like a newborn. And, one more thing. As after service." Pud'e took a clear bottle containing a brown powder. "Mix this for warm water soak sir. This one bottle, can be used for three times. Guaranteed to invigorate your body, and perfect my massage."

I picked up the bottle, after I finished putting on my clothes. This guy is right.

'Thank you, Mr. Pud'e. Oh yeah." oh yeah." I reached into my pocket and offered the money I had taken to give him.

"It's mostly, sir. Twenty-three dem. My fare is only fifty puck." She's flabbergasted.

"For the plus-plus service you've been given, that amount is worth it." Look, mother. Your son is following what you have taught. To give more to those who have sincerely helped us. After all it was easy money, given by Falcoa to me during Kalopa.

Pud'e greeted me while continuing to feel gratitude. Very friendly this guy. Maybe if next time we meet, I'll ask him to massage me again.

"One more thing, sir. I pray for you, to continue to be blessed with good luck. Because, what you're aiming for right now, is a place full of untold entanglements of temptation and latent danger."

I was amazed to hear that. This time I'm sure, his words are not merely from reading. Even impressed like the talk of a psychic.

I looked back, to see what had not been long gone. Honey, I lost track of him, in the middle of a large group of tourists passing around the beach.

I'm starting to believe that Pud'e has the power of divination, like the Indigo. If I see you again, I'll have him join the television show, to kiss the fate of people with his power.

Such a job certainly makes more money, than just a masseuse on the beach.
