the sailors came to Hendri's place after hearing the dagger's cry,
"what's up!? did the pirates attack you!?" ask one of the sailors
"who told you to come here! go back to work" ripe ordered
"but.. "
"quick go! continue the assault"
hendri continued his negotiations with the dagger, until hendri and dagger made a treaty
"we agreed"
"alongratulations" hendri and dagger shook hands, and,
"from now on you can call me violet if you want, as long as it's not in front of other people"
"alright violet"
suddenly some sailors came from the other side of the ship's bridge,
"that's my scabbard, get him!"
violet immediately ran away from Hendri,
"catch that fucking woman!" the sailor shouted with anger
"should I help him" hendri thought
.....
.....
time passed to 7 days later, the cargo ship troupe finally reached the waters of ghana.
Ghana, 03 October 2063
on a sunny morning hendri, ripe, violet prepared to get off the ship.on the bridge, icarus who was having a casual coffee while watching the transfer of cargo was visited by a sailor,
"wouldn't you drive assault graham and jacob ripe mr icarus?" ask the sailor
"no need, my relationship with the Assault is not that close.you too, just keep an eye on the work of your men"
meanwhile on a pirate ship,
"be careful lord jacob ripe, you are also lord assault, good luck" said grandfather mund
hendri and his comrades said goodbye to the sailors except for the hated violets, each of whom was given a long black jacket to cover themselves with.
hendri holds ripe's shoulder,
"what about the pirates who were arrested?" ask ripe
"we plan to bring them to America, to be at least a low-paying employee at the port, but if they refuse then next they will deal with lord icarus"
icarus is not seen anywhere.it is only natural according to hendri because their relationship is only limited to temporary alliances.
the sailors gave hendri and ripe each a nuclear-armed pistol as a soevenir.
"creepy souvenirs" hendri said, shivering in horror
hendri, ripe and violet hide in boxes with the help of sailors they pass through the harbor and are escorted to a small inn.
arriving at the nearest inn the sailors put a pile of boxes and took out the henry
"thank you everyone. This is a tip for you" Ripe gave tips to the three sailors who escorted them
"See you jacob and assault. Good luck" the sailors left
hendri is no longer in his country which means hendri cannot get help as before.
"now where are we going, Mr Ripe?" ask violet
"we will wait for an invitation to pass through ghana.our goal is to Egypt"
"just relax, the invitation will come in 3 hours so while waiting let's book a room"
hendri tried to cover his face, when he entered the inn but still some people in the inn looked at Hendri with a strange look.
"why are they looking at me like that?" hendri
hendri realized that what the person saw was not himself but violet. ghana is a country that is predominantly black, so it is natural that white violet looks very different. racism is not just a difference.
"this guy never saw a beautiful woman?"
they also arrived at an inn room that was specifically for three people
"finally, the difficult journey through the sea of ice ended as well" hendri breathed a sigh of relief because he did not need to feel seasick anymore.
"i'll order food to the receptionist.You two wait here" Ripe said
"don't ask me why. Hendri with such a physical you can't go out carelessly"
"while a dagger, a white, smooth-skinned woman like you will attract the attention of many people outside"
"i know that, don't worry" replied Violet
"remember! don't do anything when I'm gone, do you hear Hendri?" hendri did not listen to Ripe
hendri raised his thumb while coolly looking at the book there. Ripe took the book held by hendri, hendri,
"where'd you get the book today?" hendri pointed to the bookshelf
"don't do anything weird when I'm gone"
"good well. "hendri nods.
"i am 20 years old" hendri lamented
ripe left, hendri and violet did not talk much to each other. Hendri was writing in his book while the violet who had no activity decided to sleep.
but when the violet will close her eyes a paper plane falls right in front of her.on the wing of the paper plane it is written "read"
violet woke up and looked at Hendri, shendri also looked a little at violet. Violet also opened the paper plane and read the message hendri.
"be careful of jacob ripe, he is a black leaves official who wants to catch me. This trip is a gamble, if he acts suspicious then I will fight him"
hendri throws a few more paper planes..
"there's a chance he's fooling us and he's taking us to black leaves, so I made a plan to fight him, we have to be careful in communicating he can watch our movements"
"this is my plan.get it well!....."
after reading all the letters hendri violet curious about who hendri really is. hendri is very careful and observant around even he plans to fight ripe if needed.
violet was hesitant about the plan made by Hendri, but she was also forced to follow him to achieve her own goals.
hendri took something out from under his cloak and gave it to Violet
"my advice, how did you get it?" ask violet
"i stole it from icarus" hendri said as his hand came into contact with the dagger
"can't be called stealing anyway, it's not his" hendri thought
a little later, Ripe came accompanied by two servants who brought food. after the food was served ripe took hendri and violet to eat.
while eating ripe tell the route they will travel. they will pass through several countries such as burkina, niger, libya to egypt. in Egypt hendri will get an entrance test of the hunter organization. if successful, Henry will be able to meet his grandfather.
"then what about me?" ask violet
"would you like to join the hunter as well? if you want I'll register you" ripe replied
"no, I don't want to"
"if you don't want to be able to stay in Egypt later.the hunter does not prohibit anyone who wants to be a civilian"
after they finished eating they waited for an invitation that would come in 2 hours.
violet spent time combing her hair, while hendri discussed it again with ripe,
"why did the hunter choose to rule Egypt? are there not many other more advanced countries" hendri asked through the notes
"i don't know, but if I may theorize, maybe because the Egyptian mainland holds something strange"
"formerly Egypt was one of the countries that fought against black leaves"
"but after the counter-attack the associations between the countries were destroyed.Black leaves unleashed sonillapostle to destroy Egypt and some other developed countries such as qatar and yemen"
"however, strange things happened, the sonarlapostles were found dead before reaching the settlement.When the rest of the association heard the news, they went straight there"
"thanks to the help of prof. Erick Graham, the rest of the association managed to find secrets on the land and worked with the governments of the countries in the middle east to survive the black leaves counterattack"
"after 11 days of fighting, the black leaves in the middle east were defeated, so until now Egypt, Yemen, Sudan and the surrounding countries have been the bastions of association against black leaves"
"so this African continent is completely not ruled by black leaves?" ask hendri
"africa is not ruled by black leaves or the hunter. the hunter only reigns in the middle east to central africa while the rest of Africa is an independent country including this ghana"
africa is a country rich in natural resources even though most of its landmass is desert.
"there seems to be a conspiracy on this continent"
