"Didn't expect this time to actually be an anime world. And it's the anime Black Lagoon."
Aiden furrowed his brows. Although he had watched this anime too, it had been some time, and he only had vague memories of some of the plot.
Of course, that only refers to the plot. In fact, he had a deep impression of a few characters from this anime.
"Looks like the system does understand me, tsk, the maid chief, tsk, the big sister boss…"
"But, what does that question mark mean? And the characters from other worlds are… linked worlds?"
Clicking his tongue in surprise, Aiden suddenly remembered Tip 2 he saw just now. While being puzzled, he opened the mission interface.

[Main Mission: Not yet activated]
[As a traveler, your main task is to appreciate the scenery along the way. So, at the start of the plot, please fully enjoy this rare leisure time.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
After reading the mission introduction, Aiden was stunned for a moment. But thinking about it, he felt it was quite good. Having no clear mission meant he had a high degree of freedom in this world. So he closed the mission panel, lay down on the bed, and waited for the 15-minute protection period to pass.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly.
As soon as the protection time ended, Aiden's five senses immediately became clear.
The salty and fishy scent of the sea, the sound of waves hitting the ship's body, the cries of seagulls flying overhead.
All of this inexplicably lifted his mood.
"As expected, this is why so many people yearn for the sea."
Taking a deep breath, Aiden got up from the bed, stretching as he spoke. Then he left the guest room, planning to take a stroll.
In fact, the ship Aiden boarded was a mixed passenger-and-cargo cargo ship, not much to stroll around. So Aiden just took a simple walk around the ship's interior, then came up to the deck.
There were a lot of people on the deck, most of whom were workers traveling with the cargo to the destination. Only a small part were tourists like him.
Aiden scanned the people present, trying to find the protagonist of the Black Lagoon world, Rokuro Okajima.
After all, the first episode of Black Lagoon anime takes place on a ship. And most people on this ship were Western, so finding another Eastern person like him should be easy.
But unfortunately, he couldn't find him.
Then he remembered something. Before Rokuro turned dark, he was a proper gentle man, mild-mannered and introverted, the kind of person who's easy to bully.
Looking at the people on the deck again, they were basically seasoned sailors and workers. With the protagonist's personality, he probably wouldn't have the courage to stroll on the deck.
Shaking his head slightly, Aiden decided to put the task of finding the protagonist aside for now. He walked to a relatively quiet spot, leaned against the railing, lit a cigarette, and enjoyed the feeling of sea breeze brushing his face.
Maybe because the wind was favorable, while Aiden was puffing out smoke, he suddenly heard a few people's conversation not far away.
"I found out, that kid is living in the guest room area on the third floor."
"Really? No wonder we couldn't find him these past few days."
"Hehe, that's perfect. That place is relatively remote anyway. Easier for us to make a move."
"I can't wait to properly teach him a lesson."
"This is… revenge?" The strange conversation made Aiden glance sideways, and he found a few sailor-looking guys gathered together not far away.
But soon, the next line of dialogue made him dismiss that thought.
"Teach a lesson? No no no, that kid looks very weak, don't break him while playing. We're going to properly love him."
"True, haven't seen such a top-grade one in a while, hehehe."
As the perverted laughter came, Aiden felt a chill, goosebumps rising all over him. He instantly thought of a certain unspeakable group.
For a moment, he lost all desire to enjoy the sea breeze. Fearing being mentally polluted by such words, he turned and prepared to leave.
But after walking just a few steps, he heard one of them say, "I heard from the crew member who received him that he's Eastern. If we do something, will it cause any trouble?"
"What's there to fear? We are gods in their country. If they're so brave, let them kick out the stationed American military first."
"True. In that case, let's act soon. The ship's about to dock in Thailand. It'd be a shame if he escapes."
"Alright, we'll do it after lunch. He'll definitely go to the dining room anyway. Let's go wait there. It's almost meal time…"
Watching the figures of those unspeakable people leave after making their decision, Aiden frowned.
'Eastern... could it be him?'
Thinking of this, Aiden decided to follow and take a look.
———
Lunch time came quickly.
Aiden sat in a corner, casually eating the food on his tray, while his eyes kept fixed on the dining room door.
Before long, a young man wearing a suit, with a briefcase slung over his shoulder, cautiously walked into the dining room.
Seeing his appearance, Aiden didn't even need to think, he guessed he must be the Black Lagoon protagonist, Rokuro Okajima.
After all, very few people are as rigid as Japanese, still wearing a suit and tie honestly in the hot and humid weather at sea.
Not to mention, he was carrying the briefcase that pushes the plot forward.
"E-Excuse me, is anyone sitting across from you?"
Soon, Rokuro Okajima, having picked his food, walked over with a tray and carefully asked Aiden in English.
Aiden glanced at him and shook his head.
"Then… may I sit here?" Rokuro asked again.
Aiden nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"Thank you so much." Rokuro Okajima breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put down his tray, and sat opposite Aiden, burying his head to eat.
At this time, Aiden noticed a few glances sweeping toward them. Turning his head slightly, he saw that it was the sailors from earlier.
Noticing his gaze, one of them gave him a threatening look. But the sailor next to him threw a meaningful glance at him.
Aiden's expression instantly turned cold. He then said to the protagonist in front of him, "Be careful of what's behind you when you go back."
"Huh?" Rokuro Okajima looked up, confused, and asked, "Are you… talking to me?"
Aiden subtly nodded, then picked up his tray and left.
Watching Aiden leave, Rokuro felt confused. But he quickly realized something, hurriedly shoved the food into his mouth, and also left the dining room.
As soon as he left, the few sailors who had already finished eating exchanged glances and followed.
Rokuro Okajima hugged his briefcase, walking quickly toward his room while glancing back. But all he saw were a few sailor-looking men following behind.
'That guy said to be careful of behind me. Was he telling me to watch out for these sailors?' As the Black Lagoon protagonist, even though Rokuro hadn't turned dark yet, he was just weak in personality, not an idiot. He quickly realized who Aiden meant.
But he couldn't figure out. He hadn't offended those sailors. Why were they following him?
Soon, he understood.
At the last corner before reaching his room, a thick arm wrapped around his neck. Just as he was about to shout, a hand covered his mouth.
Rokuro Okajima struggled desperately, but couldn't break free, and was dragged by several sailors into the storage room.
Their movements instantly reminded him of a rumor his colleague told him when boarding the ship. That some of the sailors liked men.
Thinking of his upcoming ordeal, Okajima Rokuro struggled even harder, but it was still of no use.
Just as he was about to be dragged into the storage room, suddenly, a voice interrupted the sailors' actions.
"Do you want to know what the most beautiful relationship in this world is?"
"It's the love between a man and a woman."
