《Sinbad: High King of the Seas》Chapter 19: "Departure to the Island!"
Advertisement
Annalise stood looking down while Sinbad stood in front of everyone. She looks away as Sinbad begins to think. Sinbad was sure that he'd be victorious, but Annalise was very much afraid of what will happen if Sinbad did lose. If he manages to survive then Annalise and him will be forced into slavery and that wasn't the life that Annalise wanted to go back to.
"I spoke with the Mariadel Company. As of today, all of Sindria Trading Company's debts have been taken care of. Everyone, please return to your normal duties." Sinbad says.
"So, that means we can all continue to work for this company?" A guy asks.
"Yep." Sinbad says with a smile. Annalise fakes her smile as well with an attempt to laugh.
"Hooray!" Everyone cheers.
"For a moment I wondered what would become of us all, but I'm so glad the company is safe." A girl says.
"It's okay if we all stay here..." A guy says.
"Let's take care of all the work that we built up!" A girl says.
"So that means... the company wasn't ruined because of me. Yay! That's great!" Vittel says as Hinahoho grabs him by the back of his shirt collar.
"Show some regret!" Hinahoho says.
"Y-Yes." Vittel says.
"Looks like everyone's energy returned." Hinahoho says, "They really didn't want to lose Sindria Trading Company. It's like a home to all of us."
"Well, I'm off then." Sinbad says as he grabs his go bag.
"To that arena?" Hinahoho asks.
"It starts in three days, so I've gotta hurry." Sinbad says, "I'll be back as soon as the match is over. I'm counting on you 'till then."
"Sure. Leave it to me. Be careful and come back in one piece." Hinahoho says.
"Nah... If it's Sinbad he'll definitely be fine. He's fought us with his bare hands." Vittel says.

"He's fought all sorts of people and monsters before, so I don't have any worries about his fighting ability... I just worry that in the middle of things a woman might catch his eye and cause him to lose everything." Hinahoho says.
"Even I keep my public and private affairs separate, Hinahoho." Sinbad says.
"Oh really?" Hinahoho says and points at Annalise who was looking down. Sinbad blushes.
"That's different." Sinbad says.
"I'm going with you." Annalise says as a bag is dropped at their feet.
"Wait just a minute, Sin." Jafar says, "I'm going as well."
"Jafar? What about work?" Sinbad asks.
"I've already given out all my instructions regarding work. Everything else can be handled by our excellent employees. It's not a problem." Jafar says.
"But this isn't the type of trip you need to accompany me on." Sinbad says.
"No, it really is." Jafar says, "Annalise follows you every where and you'll need someone to look after her while you're fighting. And let's not forget that this whole incident happened because I wasn't paying close enough attention to what those around us were saying."
"Uh..." Annalise says.
"You entered enemy territory alone with Annalise and accepted this ridiculous match. Just what do you plan to do if it's a trap? You're too egotistical! Just think about how the rest of feel!" Jafar scolds causing Sinbad to smile, "What? Is there something strange about that?"
"Ha-ha, you have changed a bit. That part of you is exactly the same as it was the day we met. You're the only on that sees the bad things about me, the things I dislike about myself, and tells me about them so frankly. It's because I have someone like you around that I can be sure that someone other than Annalise is watching my back for me." Sinbad says and places his hand on Jafar's shoulder, "Thank... Jafar."

"Th-That's just a natural part of a subordinate's job! More importantly, if something happens during the sword match, what do you intend to do about it? Being left without the head of the company is no laughing matter, is it?" Jafar asks as he blushes.
"I said I'll be fine. I don't plan to lose when it's Annalise's freedom as stake. You don't need to worry but... just in case... I'll leave behind a plan for the future. Right? To put someone in charge temporarily, let's discuss it and decide together. Wouldn't someone like Rurumu be good? She's got a good grip on things." Sinbad says.
"ha-ha-ha-ha! She might just be better in charge than you." Hinahoho says.
"What? Wait just a minute!" Vittel says, "I'm here because Sinbad and Annalise are here! I can't image this company without you two! So please don't say such careless things!"
"Vittel..." Sinbad says a bit shocked.
"Vittel, Sinbad is just joking around. There is one thing that is true. When it's come to protecting me, he's always been the best at it. This is just another stepping stone for him to face on the road to securing... our future." Annalise says as she begins to blush.
"But... you two..." Vittel says.
"Hmph! You have the devil's luck as always, Sinbad." A voice says and they look over.
"You're..." Sinbad says.
"Princess Serendine." Annalise says.
"Being kidnapped by a business rival... moreover a female trader isn't that just like you and your company? With that lewd look on your face, she probably seduced you too didn't she? How deplorable... where's your humility as the leader of the company? Even that worthless Fanalis couldn't stop you." Serendine says.
"Princess, that's not what—" Jafar and Annalise begin to say in unison.
"Well?" Serendine asks.
"She's the same as always... Let's get going before this turns into something trouble-some, Sin." Jafar says and Sin walks towards Serendine.
"Sin?" Annalise asks.
"Young Lady. I get Annalise... but what I don't understand is your anger towards Annalise when she did nothing. Could it be that you are jealous? Oh... I see now. Even though you say you hate me." Sinbad says before he lowers his voice, "If I wasn't already deeply in love with Annalise... I'd be impressed by this cute side of yours."
"W-What are you saying? I don't—that's ridiculous!" Serendine says.
"But you were waiting here just to see me off, weren't you? Even if you won't admit it, I can tell that it's true. What's more surprising is that there's a leaf in your hair. I wonder just how long you were here waiting for me. I have to say I respect that, but again, if I wasn't already in love... I'd be happier about it. But it wouldn't be good for you to catch a cold waiting out here." Sinbad says.
"You two are in love..." Serendine says.
"Yes, which is why I'm going to win. I'm going to save up enough money so that if we ever run into the man who bought her so many years ago, I can buy her freedom. I refuse to let the woman I love return to slavery." Sinbad says and then looks over at Annalise who stood listening with a deep blush on her face, "Alright... Let's go."
"R-Right!" Annalise says and she and Jafar walk after him.
"The three of them... with how Annalise treat Jafar as her son... They look like..." Hinahoho says.
"A family." Vittel says.
"A-Amazing! This is... this is... the headquarters of the Mariadel company? Ria Venus Island?" Jafar asks.

Wet world wonderland.
A young girl of 16 years dies by drowning, and is reincarnated as a living Puddle of Water.Through many fantastical fun filled and wacky adventures our Protagonist will lead a better life than her last.Thank you for your time. Something I want to add, is that this story is written in first person, and I plan to carry on with it for a LONG time.-(Maybe thousands of chapters in size, until the story literally runs out of any potential to keep going.) So yes, there's still a lot of mystery and build up I have planned for future adventures. Wet World Wonderland is a story primarily concerned with the depth and complexity of its world and characters. So forgive me if something seems off, or isn't made immediately clear. I would love to talk, but try and consider that I might have something planned.(Not that you can't still criticize, of course. If you've got an opinion on something, I'd love to hear it.) If you plan on rating WWW, please read until chapter 20. WWW isn't the kind of story you can start judging from the first five chapters. Although, I admit I'm not so sure if 20 chapters in is good enough to judge it either, but I would still advise reading to at least that point. Also, if you have a problem with something in the story, please PM me, and I would love to talk about it. As of 1/19/2021 I have just added WWW's (Wet World Wonderland's) New Cover-Art. I know it's a bit weird, and probably sudden. And with all things considered, it may never make sense. But canonically with lore and info that has, or will be revealed in coming chapters, you might be able to put something together. Anyways, I hope you like it. Also, new symbol, at the top left of the image, hope you all like that too.As of 5/16/2022 the revised cover art for WWW has been uploaded, same as before with the first cover art. I hope you like it. Cover Art Credit goes to Itreallyisyaboi. They're on Instragram.
