Chapter 58: Last Night of Moonlight
Kyaa!
Oh, Im sorry!
The hand, which held my cool arm, was taken back in surprise.
Ahem, Because you were standing so precariously that you were about to fall Please forgive me.
He was a blonde gentleman neatly dressed in a gray coat. Why is this calm face strangely familiar? Reminds me of that friendly server at the coffee shop?
Then he grinned.
By the way. What a coincidence.
Ah!
It was only then that I remembered that he was a gentleman who helped me board at the port. The man with a mask and hand on his chest politely showed courtesy.
I am Leon Anderson.
Ah, thank you. At that time, I couldnt greet you properly.. I am Melissa Collins.
Miss Collins,
He continued in a very serious tone.
Im glad to see you again, but you look very pale.
Ah, I have a little motion sickness
Boom, boom. Suddenly, fireworks exploded in succession, and excited cheers were heard. I managed to continue as I watched his cool face turn red in the light.
If I get some air, Ill be fine soon.
Have you eaten?
No, today.
You mean you havent eaten anything? yet?
Because Mr. Anderson looked incredibly shocked, I hurriedly tried to remember and say something. Two meals.
Miss Collins, if you dont eat anything, your motion sickness will worsen. Didnt you know?
That
No, you cant. Ill go down and get some food for you at once.
Mr. Anderson spoke as gravely as a doctor who faced an emergency patient. Maybe hes really a doctor. He was a first-class passenger, too.
Please wait here. You must stay here.
..Hes a strict doctor. I nodded helplessly.
Looking at his back, who was descending the stairs in a hurry, the strength in my legs loosened, and shortly, my whole body slid down.
Haa
Behind me, the noise was mixed with excitement and music. I could hear the loud laughter of those who were drunk and in a better mood from time to time.
Is it because of the mood? I feel like Im drunk without even drinking.
Its not the mood.
Unfortunately, its not because Im excited, but because my motion sickness is getting out of control.
My stomach was churning and I was in so much pain that I couldnt stay still. But it was very difficult because I didnt have the energy to get up. And in a few minutes, chills and headaches weighed on me.
I groaned in the worst motion sickness I had ever experienced in my life, and I held onto the railing with a desperate look. It took quite a long time to get up again.
All right. Lets go to the deck behind the ship. Lets go and vomit it.
In fact, I dont know if theres anything to vomit right now. The only thing I ate all day was a few sips of water. I just had to try vomiting something. If I dont spit all this disgusting stuff out right now.
Ugh..
At last, my legs moved. Although I was told to stay still and wait, I didnt want to become a spectacle with the partygoers here.
I only hoped that Mr. Anderson would take a little longer to bring the food, so that I wouldnt keep him waiting.
(T/N: shes is planning to go to her cabin, vomit and come back here, thats why she is hoping he comes back late so that she would do her vomiting and come back first)

The faces of the two men who came out of the crowd with their masks off roughly were distorted.
Shit
As they got closer to the stern from the ballroom where torches were lit everywhere, the chill and darkness of the night sea grew thicker. As if unable to bear it any longer, the two men smoked cigarettes at the same time.
You cant reach a high-class woman, Dick, the ship will arrive tomorrow afternoon, so todays the last night. At this rate, it will be morning.
how much was the ship ticket? I cant leave without having fun!
Its like a fucking speedboat. The man, called Dirk, gasped indignantly. There were many small scars around the messy moustache that had not been trimmed
In the first place, we set the wrong goal. If you had worn a coat, you could have pretended to be a royalty from(somewhere)
Should I steal one now? Im not on the ship to play with scruffy women, damn it.
They were still foolish enough to believe that their clothes were the only reason why they did not win the ladys heart, even though they were obviously dirty and indisposed.
At that moment, Dick lowered his voice as he pulled the group together roughly.
Matt, look over there! Theres a woman!
A woman?
The two men leaned down in a hurry. (f)reenovelkiss.com
There was a woman standing on the back deck, which was empty. She wore a thin shawl over a rough green poplin dress.
Shes not an upper-class lady
Shh, watch her!
They held her breath as they watched the strong night wind on the stern engulf her body. Because of the wind and her leaning so heavily on the railing her dress showed off her graceful body line.
It still works, doesnt it?
Well
Her body wasnt voluminous, but he liked the flowing curves like flowing water. No, the man called Matt agreed as he was fiddling with his shaggy mustache.
Definitely,
Then Dick showed his yellow teeth and quickly said,
Fetch something to drink, at once.
Lets make good use of It. His secretly whispered eyes glistened with dirty greed.

(T/N: this scene will switch from 1pov to 3pov again and again, it will also change from Dicks pov to Mels pov, I tried to make it constant as much as possible)
I stood alone on the stern, where the gaslight flickered faintly. Passengers either enjoyed the entertainment of the masquerade on board from a distance or returned to their cabins to sleep. It was such a deep night.
My body trembled as the sea breeze playfully stroked my hair and stroked my cheeks for a long time. The stabbing headache was getting worse.
However, it was painful to be unable to vomit anything. If I go back to the cabin like this, my motion sickness will get worse. I had no choice but to spread my shawl as wide as I could and shrug my shoulders.
At that moment I heard a faint whistle.
.
Tired and exhausted, I didnt look back. I only looked at the waves that hit the hull and broke into pieces hoping that the symptoms would subside.
Hello, miss,
It was then that a strange man spoke to me. I turned my head in astonishment.
A faded coat and sweaty shirt. His hair was disheveled and his eyes were bloodshot. Then the suspicious man pulled up his scarred lips and came closer.
Oh, its good night, isnt it?
.
Seeing the clear brown eyes trembling, the man immediately recognized that the woman was wary of him.
You have a bad complexion, miss.
The man who said that was obviously not saying anything out of the ordinary. Not only was the woman in front of him was visibly pale, she looked like someone seriously uncomfortable somewhere.
But the mans face had a fishy smile, and his strange expression didnt seem to really worry about her.
When I frowned, but said nothing, the man continued to speak calmly.
Ah, Im the crew on this ship. Its a great cruise ship, isnt it?
Youre a crew member?
Melissa asked with a puzzled look in the midst of a precarious situation as if she was about to collapse. She had never seen such a messy crew member. It wasnt just a matter of not wearing a uniform.
Oh, cargo! I work in the cargo bay. Cargo workers are also crew employees
.
When the man spoke in a haze, Melissa, who had been choosing an answer for a while, suddenly shut her mouth. It was because her whole body was drained and at the same time a sense of nausea rushed in.
However, nothing will come out again this time. Id better go back to the cabin now.
Just then, I saw another man running this way. The man that had spoken to me previously snatched what was in the running mans hand and spoke in a friendly tone.
Youre very seasick, arent you, miss? Heres some water to drink.
The water in the transparent glass was twinkling before her eyes. Melissa had no idea where the cup of water had sprung out of nowhere, or what she had missed.
Ah..
All of a sudden, everything felt overwhelming, but the most burdensome thing now was this terrible motion sickness. Melissa staggered with her hand on her head, and the glass stuck out right in front of her chest as if it had been waiting for her.
Come on. Its cool water.
.
Youll be much more comfortable after drinking.
Two men with dirty beards were staring down at me. This situation was hard to understand, but Melissa was eager to believe it was true.
Then a sudden uncontrollable thirst struck her.
thank you.
A pale, thin hand took the glass of cold water. Melissa drank the water sweetly as if it were life-giving water. Panting like a poor fish thrown ashore.
The water was so cool and refreshing, as the man said.
Did you melt it properly?
Yes, Dick,
And as the man said.
What do you think, feeling more comfortable?
Yes, I think so
Then Melissa felt the world spinning.
Aww, you stupid bitch.
As she staggered, Melissa grabbed the railing and brooded over the mans sudden ridicule. Thinking that motion sickness is now deafening her ears.
ah.
A belated sigh broke out. It was so quiet that no one could hear it. Melissa belatedly understood the whole situation when she saw them, who had a fishy laugh and were finally bursting into laughter.
But there was nothing I could do.
What will happen now? Melissa went into a vain panic in the flashing consciousness. She was dragged helplessly by a tugging touch on her waist, and fell down, unable to overcome gravity.
There was no sensation in my palms and knees that touched the cold floor. It felt like I was simply drowning in a remote swamp.
Ill carry her on my back, Dick.
Lets go underground! Theres a garage there.
.
Even though they were clearly in front of me, their voices sounded very distant. My consciousness, which was about to break, seemed to have reached its limit. And at that last moment, I felt the deck vibrate slightly.
Then, the sound of hard shoes walking on the floor and quickly approaching was heard.
Darksparkling.
Suddenly, a shining brilliant mane of dark hair entered my retina as if engraved on the inside of my eyelids. Even though my eyes were closed.
Hes tall what a sweet end.
Melissa finally fainted. So she had no idea what had happened after that.

Uh, What do you want? Dont disturb
Wait, Dick! This man.
The gentleman, dressed in a fine tailcoat, seemed unwilling to listen to the idiots. His eyes were as arrogant and daunting as if he were looking at a dirty bug.
He knocked the sloppy man down with his long legs and coldly said,
