There was a splash of water.

The dolphin flicked its tail freely in the water, then revealed its head from the water again, and made a happy "yoyo" sound: it has discovered that these humans can only understand sounds of this frequency, so they use this syllable

As gratitude.

When the other dolphins saw their companion coming back, they happily rubbed against it, and soon they were happily playing together in the sea water.

Anthony, who had been chatting with the worried dolphins before, finally breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the bow of the boat to say hello to the surviving dolphin.

"Don't be so excited when you see humans in the future——"

The little prince hugged his rose and shouted loudly to the group of dolphins: "Stay far away from human ships, it will be very dangerous!"

But those are humans.

After being warned, the dolphin slapped its tail aggrievedly, "swiped" the ground on the spot, jumped seven or eight meters high, threw up a high mist of water with its tail, "plopped" into the water again, and swam to Kitahara and Kaede's side.

Kitahara and Kaede stretched out their hands from the deck to touch its snout. They looked at the little guy who had been retrieved with soft eyes, and finally laughed: "Good boy, go back. You still have to hunt for food, so we should go too."

La."

The other dolphins also kept their promise and did not continue to pester humans after their companions came back. They gradually dispersed and began to play with their friends to continue the day. Only this little guy still lingered by the boat with nostalgia.

"Yo."

The dolphin made a sweet and clear cry, looked at the other party with reluctant eyes, and then swam away hesitantly after realizing that the other party really had no intention of staying.

"Yowu——"

I will remember you, human being.

It shouted one last time, then sank into the water with its companions and never appeared again.

Beiyuan and Feng stared at its disappearing figure and sighed softly.

He remembered that his mother was strongly opposed to him studying marine biology-related subjects. Although literature was also something he loved, it was somewhat regrettable.

But if it were in this world...

"Kitahara?"

Anthony tugged on the traveler's sleeve and looked at him doubtfully, wondering why his master was distracted again.

"Stop it, Anthony."

Kitahara and Kaede, whose thoughts were interrupted, turned their heads helplessly, pinched Anthony's face, and laughed under the blank gaze of their children.

"Don't worry, I just thought of some good things. Go and play by yourself. Do you still remember where you threw those colorful balloons?"

"Balloons?" Anthony's eyes widened blankly, and he suddenly remembered the balloons that he had thrown away and were originally intended to decorate the rose pots, so he hurriedly took Miss Rose to look for them.

Of course, there will inevitably be another complaint from a certain lady along the way.

After Byron sent the dolphins away, he went to fix the ropes - as the captain of a ship, he had to deal with a lot of things.

Even if there is no problem with the general sailing direction and there are no undercurrents or reefs around, he still has to check the sail to see if the ropes are twisted together and if there is any problem with the sail surface.

The traveler watched the blond little prince's retreating figure with a smile, continued to lean lazily on the railing, and leisurely stared at the still calm blue sky and white clouds, and suddenly felt that this was a good time to have a drink.

Like rum or something.

"By the way, what did you mean by 'changing the topic' before?"

Byron asked smoothly while skillfully separating the almost knotted rope buttons and fixing them in their respective positions.

He was still thinking about that topic.

"Ah. What I want to say is: the number of California porpoises in the world is now less than 300. The Yangtze River's Baiji dolphins were also declared functionally extinct last year. I don't know if these cetacean species will still be around in a few decades.

There are only a few left.”

Beihara and Feng shrugged, and smiled at the figure with fiery red hair above them: "I just thought of this suddenly."

"You can still laugh?"

Byron was choked and couldn't help but complained.

He reached out and tugged on the rope above. After making sure that the rope was still strong, he let go and started to check other places: "But even so, I still decided to hate them all equally for the time being... Don't you wonder why?

?”

"Why can't you laugh?"

Beihara and Feng squinted their eyes, yawned lazily in the sunshine, and asked in confusion.

After all, the California porpoises were extinct in their previous lives, but at least in this world, they still have hope of being saved.

"And, my answer is still the same."

The traveler paused for a moment and answered another question seriously and lazily: "I have no curiosity about anything that no one wants to mention."

"Is this so..."

Byron leaned on the mast, deliberately prolonging his voice, and finally laughed loudly and proudly, his mint green eyes sparkling in the sun, and he was full of energy:

"But it's not something that can't be mentioned with others, Kitahara."

"Just because that guy Shelley died at sea, in a storm, that's all."

"He was buried in the belly of a fish before me, and returned to the sea as a soul before me. He was on board the Don Juan."

At this point, the red-haired superpower couldn't help laughing louder: "By the way, Beiyuan, do you know?"
