"See my ship card?" Helen's tone was obviously unhappy, "Why do you want to see my ship card? What's the point of looking at it?"
"I remember it was said in the "Details" that the ship card is everyone's only identification," Tasia explained with difficulty, "I know it would be a bit ridiculous to say this, but...if I never confirmed you but any If you have proof of identity, I will give you my ship card. I...I——"
Helen reached her back, quickly took out her boat and waved it in front of Tasia.
"This won't work..." Tasia's voice became softer, "I have to make sure that your ship card is complete and has not been damaged-"
"Are you done yet?" Helen said coldly, "If you still want the brooch -"
"If you refuse to show me your ship card today, then you don't have to ask me to cooperate with you in anything in the future!" Tasia took a step back, "I told you, I can show you my ship card." Here you go, if that will convince you of my sincerity - but Helen, I am your equal on this ship! I am here to ask for your help, and if you think a brooch alone will suffice Do whatever you want with me, then you——
"Okay, okay," Helen put her arm around Tasia's shoulders, "...see how anxious you are, of course we are equal -"
"In short, trust is mutual." Tasia took out a ship card from her bag, "You want me to hand over the ship card to you, but you don't even want to do basic identity verification, so how can I I believe you will be willing to help me get through tonight?"
Helen looked away in amusement, thought for a moment, and handed her ship card to Tasia again.
Just as Tasia was about to reach out to take it, Helen reminded her softly, "It's yours."
The two exchanged ship cards, and Helen kept her eyes on Tasia's hands to prevent her from doing anything.
However, Tasia didn't seem to attach much importance to the ship card. She just took the card and flipped it over twice before returning it.
"...Is this good?" Helen accepted the ship card, "Just look at it twice. If it is a fake card, you won't be able to tell."
"Can you give me the brooch?"
"How can I carry it with me..."
"Then when will you give it to me?" Tasia asked, "or when will I get it from you?"
Helen looked at Tasia and said nothing for a moment. Sometimes she marveled at Tasia's gullibility - Tasia seemed completely unconcerned that the hand-in-the-boat trick was a free-for-all.
How can people be so unprotected...
"Helen?"
"...Whose guardian are you going to be?"
"It's not decided yet," Tasia replied truthfully, "I want to ask Philip first -"
"That young man who wants to chase you?"
Tasia blushed.
"Okay!" Helen raised her hands and did a stretching motion. "After becoming a guardian, you can do whatever you want."
"I, I won't-"
"Afternoon...at half past two, take your risky passengers and wait for me at the door of the infirmary," Helen said softly, "You must have a ship card to register as a guardian. I will temporarily return the card to you at that time, and the brooch too. How about giving it to you when the time comes?"
"It's a deal."
Helen nodded happily, and she stood there watching Tasia trot and disappear behind the door. Even on occasions like this, Tasia still wears high heels when going out.
The sound of the heels hitting the ground reminded Helen of a young deer that strayed into a hunting ground.
Helen suddenly felt an inexplicable disgust.
Yes, there are always some naive people in this world... Whenever such people appear in front of her, she always feels that something tragic should happen to these people.
Otherwise, I would be sorry for the stupidity they exude.
…
"Why did you come!"
Bernhard's voice collapsed, and he slapped the iron door hard, making a horrifying sound.
The iron door opened, and Hestad saw Bernhard falling out of a narrow room where he could neither stand upright nor sit down. He lay on his side on the ground, stretched his limbs with a painful expression, and let out a series of unexplained groans.
"Excuse me," Hesta looked at the crew members aside, "This is the confinement room. Why is there such a place on your ship?"
"Originally it was used as a niche entertainment facility..."
"entertainment?"
"entertainment."
"Where's his gun?" Hesta said softly, "Keep it for me."
Several crew members packed the collected weapons and handed them to Hesta, "Please fulfill your duties as a guardian."
"What if you don't fulfill it?" Hesta glanced at the crew, "You throw me in too?"
"Ah...of course not," the crew member replied, "but next time there will be other means to correct the behavior of risky passengers, and they will be upgraded every time."
Hesta stretched out her foot and kicked Bernhard's hand: "Did you hear that?"
Bernhard stood up from the ground with a look of disgust on his face. He twisted his neck repeatedly to relieve the soreness.
"Is there anything else?" Hesta looked at the crew.
"there is none left."
"Then let's go."
Just as Si Lei was about to push Hestad's wheelchair, Bernhard grabbed the position without any hesitation, "I'll do it, I'll do it..."
After leaving the place of detention, Bernhard coughed several times in succession, "Ms. Hesta..."
"General," Hesta sighed, "there are only four rules for dangerous passengers, not many, right? Why can't you remember them the next day?"
Bernhard suddenly choked on what he was about to say, his throat moved, and after a long time he said: "I was too impulsive this morning..."
"You are indeed too impulsive," Hesta said softly. "After all, Gustav came back from last night's banquet unscathed. His experience is very important. No matter what he says, you should let him After you finish speaking, whether you listen or not is completely different."
"Yes, I... I actually realized it right after I said it," Bernhard suppressed his irritation and lowered his voice as much as possible, "If it were normal times, I wouldn't be like this."
"Usual? Isn't this morning normal?"
"...I'm so hungry," Bernhard whispered, "I only ate two bananas, an apple and some blueberries last night, and that's basically what I ate this morning..."
"Then you go have lunch quickly. Officer Si Lei will take me back."
"No, no, Ms. Hesta..." Bernhard squatted next to Hesta, "It's impossible to eat enough with these things, it's not even life-threatening! If this continues, I will go crazy. It fell!"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I remember it was said in that booklet that the rules are not fixed. As long as you discuss it with the guardian, the scales in it can be adjusted... Can you -"
"Oh, I understand," Hesta said softly, "Okay, you can go to Bishop's restaurant now and tell the crew that I gave you authorization and you can eat as much as you like."
