I found another fault in my career as a maid.

... I have seasickness.

In the morning, after a sleepless night, we boarded a ship.

This ship will take us straight to the Griffin Island.

The journey from New Hope to the Griffin Island takes about 12 hours.

That means... Umm... 5 more hours of suffering.

Uuu... Just thinking about it makes me- Mmmmmm!

"Awuuuuu!"

I don't think I can survive.

Miss, I'm sorry.

I think I'm dying.

... It would be also nice if you didn't watch me vomit all over myself.

It's embarrassing, you know?

Miss didn't let go of my hand since morning.

Uuu... I even had to...

"Latifa! Why is your face getting red all of sudden? Are you okay?!" Miss asks worriedly.

I'm not okay! Alright?

I look pathetic! Alright?

My hand is all sweaty! Alright?

I feel nauseous! Alright?

I have to- Nevermind! I will hold it in!

... I couldn't hold it in.

At least I was able to persuade Miss to turn around this time...

However, Miss is at least concerned about me.

The two princes on the other side...

One looks at me like I'm some kind of animal in a petting zoo.

And the other one looks at me with a number of weird expressions.

He looks at me with a smirk for a while, then it changes to anger?

I don't know. If I say that he is hard to figure out, then he will have something common with Miss.

Therefore, he is really easy to figure out! I can tell what he is thinking every single time! Really!

Nevertheless, this ship is really fast.

After 8 hours on the sea, we have begun overtaking other ships.

One ship, two ships, five ships, ten ships, twenty ships...

There are so many ships!

All those people come here every 5 years?

Won't the Golden Griffins get exterminated at this rate?

Seeing my expression full of questions, Prince Shiyu starts explaining.

"You see, the ratio of humans to Griffins is 1:10. Even with this great number of people we won't be able to kill more than 20% of Griffins."

"They numbers mysteriously increase every time they fly over." He adds.

He speaks like a veteran.

Isn't he just a few years older than me?

I look at him with questioning loo- Eh? Where did he go?

This is strange... Why does he disappear every time he stops talking?

He is cultivating a stealth technique after all!

Prince Shiyu, I Latifa see you in a new light.

... Though I can't see you anywhere.

We have caught up to a big luxurious ship.

That ship is almost the same size as ours. I mean Prince Si'.

Among the numerous ships we have passed, this one looks the most expensive.

Is it a ship of some famous noble?

"Isn't that my future Brother-in-law, Shayde?"

A man shouts from the big luxurious ship.
