#231 - Chapter 231 Tezulo
At dawn, the sun hung horizontally.
A ray of morning light slowly drew back the curtain, and a colorful morning descended upon the world with freshness.
Involuntarily, it made people feel relaxed and comfortable.
The Sabaody Archipelago, with its lush foliage and gentle breeze, allowed sunlight to filter through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows.
A young man stood in the sunlight, a smile on his face.
The young man had a head of gray-green hair, scattered messily, and his dirty work clothes were covered in mud and sweat, but his infectious smile made him impossible to ignore.
His eyes sparkled with hope, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a firm arc.
Although he worked hard every day, with heavy burdens on his shoulders, the hope in his heart kept him smiling.
He wiped his sweat with his rough palm and looked up into the distance. The sunlight was dazzling, but it made him feel warm.
"Stella, wait a little longer, and I'll be able to set you free soon."
He murmured to himself, his voice filled with fatigue, but even more so with the joy of his impending expectation.
The image of Stella appeared in his mind, the girl who was still enslaved.
He still remembered the girl's singing when he was at his most desperate, a scene he would never forget in his life.
He knew that she was waiting for him, waiting for him to save enough money, waiting for him to take her away from that dark abyss.
The young man clenched his fists, his fingernails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't care.
Every drop of sweat, every bit of hard work, was for that goal.
He took a deep breath, filling his lungs with fresh air, as if this could wash away the fatigue and pressure in his heart.
The leaves rustled, and the breeze seemed to be encouraging him.
"Tesoro, there's work to do, get over here!"
A loud roar came from the nearby coast.
Tesoro lowered his head, looked at his muddy palms, smiled, and stood up again.
He knew that the road ahead was still difficult, but as long as there was hope in his heart, nothing could stop him.
"Just a little more effort, just a little more persistence, Stella, I will definitely set you free."
He murmured, his eyes flashing with determination.
Tesoro started walking towards his work. The sun shone behind him, casting a long shadow. Every step was steady and strong, every step filled with hope and determination.
The morning on the Sabaody Archipelago was still so beautiful.
The air was filled with the fragrance of leaves, and birds sang merrily in the branches.
On this beautiful land, Tesoro held on to his beliefs and continued to move towards his goal.
In his heart, Stella's smile was the most beautiful sunlight.
It was this belief that gave him strength and courage in his daily labor.
No matter how difficult the road ahead, he would persevere to the end, because he knew that there was someone waiting for his rescue.
......
"Is this the Sabaody Archipelago?"
Toki Kozuki stood on the pier, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
She turned around, looking in surprise at the colorful islands, as if she had entered a dreamlike world.
"It feels so dreamy..."
Her voice trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes reflected the stunning scenery of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Jin stood beside her, his gaze gently fixed on her.
He smiled slightly, then looked up at the huge tree.
A number was prominently marked on the trunk.
"What does this 30 mean?"
Toki tilted her head curiously to look at Jin.
"The Sabaody Archipelago is made up of 79 trees, and each tree is an island,"
"The one in front of us is Island 30."
Jin explained, his voice tinged with emotion.
He didn't expect to come to this place again after so many years.
"Oh, I see."
Toki nodded, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes.
"Let's go in from here."
Jin walked steadily ahead, leading the way.
"Why not start playing from number 1?"
Toki followed behind him, asking as she walked.
She had only heard that the Sabaody Archipelago was a good place to visit, but she didn't know much about the specifics.
In her mind, when you come to a place, you should visit the whole place.
"Because numbers 1 to 29 are lawless areas, there's nothing fun there."
Jin's voice was calm, but with a hint of aversion.
Toki's heart trembled slightly. She knew very well that where there are people, there will be darkness.
But she still found it a little difficult to understand how the various areas were so clearly divided.
She took a deep breath, trying to relax.
She knew that she was here to enjoy this rare time, and she shouldn't let those dark things affect her mood.
"Let's go, we're here to have fun, don't think about those things."
Jin looked back and comforted her with a smile.
Toki nodded, trying to adjust her emotions.
She knew that this was a rare opportunity to spend time alone, and she didn't want to waste it on unnecessary worries.
"There are quite a few interesting things here."
Jin exclaimed, his eyes lingering on the bubbles constantly rising on the island.
The sunlight refracted through the bubbles, giving the entire island a dreamy color.
"I didn't have time to explore the island properly last time, so I guess I owe it to you this time."
Jin turned to Toki and said with a smile.
Toki's eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement. She looked around, like a child entering an amusement park for the first time.
Everything on the island made her feel new and interesting.
Bubble cars moved slowly on the roads, bubble Ferris wheels stood tall in the sky, buildings seemed to float on bubbles, and bubble culture permeated every corner of Sabaody Island.
"It feels so interesting!"
Toki cheered, her voice as crisp as a silver bell.
She reached out and touched a bubble that floated past her, feeling the slightly cool touch of the bubble's surface, and her face showed childish surprise.
They strolled along the island's paths, Toki exclaiming from time to time, captivated by the scenery before her.
"Jin, look at this!"
Toki pointed to the things that moved her heart in front of her, her eyes sparkling.
The bubble Ferris wheel rotated slowly, and tourists overlooked the beautiful scenery of the entire Sabaody Archipelago from high in the sky.
Toki looked up at the Ferris wheel, her eyes shining with longing.
"Let's ride the Ferris wheel."
Toki suggested, looking at Jin with anticipation in her eyes.
"Okay."
Jin readily agreed, since she was so excited, it was impossible for him to disappoint her.
Toki cheered and took Jin's hand, running towards the Ferris wheel.
They slowly rose on the Ferris wheel, overlooking the entire Sabaody Archipelago.
Toki leaned close to Jin, her eyes full of joy and satisfaction.
The bubbles sparkled in the sunlight, like countless small dreams floating in the air.
The beauty of the Sabaody Archipelago made them forget their worries, enjoying this rare peace and happiness.
At this moment, their hearts were closely connected, sharing this beautiful time together.
"......"
After riding the Ferris wheel, they walked in the sunlight, the warm light shining on them both.
Toki followed behind Jin, her eyes sparkling with anticipation again.
Along the way, flowers were fragrant and birds sang sweetly.
Toki looked at everything around her, and her mood gradually relaxed.
She took a deep breath, feeling the peace and happiness that this beautiful land brought her.
Jin looked back at her from time to time, his eyes full of emotion.
He knew that Toki longed for this time, and so did he.
They talked and laughed all the way, walking into other parts of the Sabaody Archipelago, starting a wonderful journey.
Toki followed closely behind Jin, her heart full of joy and anticipation.
With the beautiful scenery in front of her and Jin's company, she felt that at this moment, all the waiting and effort were worth it.
