Chapter 4
December 25, 2023 at 6:18 AM
Working as a mop at the behest of a cyborg, I snorted, freaked out. And it so happened that I accidentally pushed someone. When I turned around, I saw that there was a huge pirate behind me, who was moving boxes and carrying ropes.
"Look around, girl!" He said to me in English, but I still didn't understand. But I still continued to wash the deck, snorting.
"I saw your mop in the coffin, Fat-bellied Degenerate!"
Then I heard something on my left shoulder. Of course, they spoke English all the time, but you could tell they were clearly plotting against someone. However, when I watched these extraterrestrials, they immediately noticed that I was watching them. When I noticed that they were now looking at me, I continued to wash the deck, and then I heard one of them try to say something to me in Russian, but he did much worse than that fat and large pussy with a piece of iron in his hands. I keep forgetting his name.
"What are you staring at, little girl?!" Horned said to me. Then the same thing was asked about the headless torso, but in English.
Suddenly, I felt someone's horrible-smelling breath lean into my ear and hiss.
"It seems that our cabin boy needs to be taught not to poke his nose into other people's business...
I snorted back at him, not taking my eyes off the deck.
"Do you have anything to hide, Cockroach?" I said with a hint of sarcasm. However, the stinking bug did not like it so much that he grabbed me by the collar and pressed me against the mast with one of his hands, that is, his claws.
"I see you've lost your hearing, my darling?" He hissed, bringing his stinking mouth close to my face, but I answered:
"And you, my dear, seem to have problems with hygiene?" Your teeth are yellow and your mouth smells like a toilet in college!
The beetle immediately pinned me even tighter against the mast, holding my throat, trying to strangle me.
The whole team began to approach the scene of the incident, clearly wanting to see how someone would finish me off on the spot. And I myself no longer hoped that I would be protected.
But then it was. Their captain, that pole grabbed the spider by the claw with his robe-hand.
— Mr. Scroope, do you know what happens if you squeeze this plum hard in a juicer?
At these words, the fat man wrapped his other hand behind his back, that the beetle hissed in pain and he let go of me, that I fell on all fours.
— All right, everybody in their places! Get to work quickly, loafers! Okay, everything is in its place! Hurry up to work, slackers! The pirate roared, dispersing the crowd. He helped me to my feet, but he quickly threw the mop into my hands that I could barely hold onto. "I see that you're not doing your job, lessie?"
"I worked until that bug came down here and threatened me. And I—" I began to look for an excuse to wash him off. Even though I knew I had stupidly provoked him. It's his own fault, though.
"Put it aside!" The pirate shouted at me, taking my hand, shaking me with all his might. "Wash the whole deck so that it sparkles like the pearls of your teeth." Look, I don't encourage this filth. He turned to the pink thing with big eyes. — Morph, keep an eye on this girl. And let me know if something happens here again!
The Terminator was gone, and that thing Morph was watching me work. I'm so sick of it.
In order to kill a day of washing, while keeping my brain busy, I decided to talk to Morph like this:
"You know, Morf," I said, looking at the jelly. "I don't know if you understand me or not, but I want to tell you something.
Judging by the fact that Morf began to squeal and whirl around me, I knew that he understood me and wanted to hear the story.
"You know, when I was little, I loved watching cartoons.
"Cartoons," Morph repeated, as if the Russian language was not an obstacle for him.
"Yes, it's like saying... Pictures that come to life. I continued.
"They're coming to life... Revive! Morph began to repeat like a parrot again. I started laughing with him.
We talked in such a way that I didn't notice that it was already dark, and I had only washed one quarter of the ship.
Morph also decided to help me with my problem, but he was where I washed and my shoes were also there. Free shoe washing. When I stopped to arch my back, I sighed as I continued to chat with pink snot in Russian.
"Well, it's been a great day, haven't you, buddy?" I asked him, pulling on a tired smile. "I've made new friends. Like a spider-like jerk!
Morph took the form of that spider, as the pole called it, Scroope? Oh yes! Mr. Scroope.
"A spider-like asshole!" A spider-like jerk! Morf repeated my words. It's just some kind of repetition. Well, at least I'm having fun with him.
"A little uglier?" I giggled. Morph made him funnier and more realistic. "Looks like it!"
There was a moment's silence again. As Morph scurried around the deck, I spoke again.
"You know, when I was a child, I couldn't understand the task. An old man was asked how old he was. He replied that he was 100 years and a few months old, but that he had only 25 birthdays. How could this be? Don't you know, Morf?
Then I heard an answer, but not from Morf. Turning my head, I saw the pirate coming out of his cabin, smoking his pipe.
"This person was born on the 29th of February, which means that he has a birthday once every four years. The pirate began to explain, being quite far away from me. "And when I see you've got a meteor, you're cleaning the deck so nicely, it's been dirty, and it's still dirty."
I started snorting to myself at him. The Basurman does not know the Russian language, but he teaches me there. The goat is fat. But he was right. I spent everything on idle chatter instead of work. For some reason, I felt very ashamed.
"Listen, Captain, I've been thinking about it for a long time... And most likely, I've only come to the conclusion that... Well, anyway, thank you. For what you did then... Without you, they would have killed me on the spot for nothing.
The pirate looked at me at first as if he didn't initially understand what I meant. And then he answered quite seriously.
"Didn't your daddydaddy teach you how to choose your opponents?" He asked, looking at me. Remembering that my father had been gone for a long time and that my mother had kicked me out of the house, I turned my back on him. Trying to drive his anger and resentment to the mop, diligently rubbing the deck without answering the cyborg. "Or does he teach you nothing at all that his child should know?"
Filled with anger, I threw down the mop and knocked over the bucket of water, I yelled at him:
"No! What do you care about what my father taught me or not? Yes, he taught me to stand up for myself and fight back! But he didn't teach me to be sorry, to worry and to forgive. The fact that he passed away suddenly made me go to waste! His mother kicked him out of the apartment. On my skinny scholarship, I didn't go to buy normal food for myself. All the time I was on the same test. And then you took me captive and made me a scapegoat!
In order not to show that I was crying, I turned away from the pirate and looked at the stars. I couldn't stand it all. Everything is painfully disgusting to me. And life was unsuccessful and got bogged down in the swamp itself. That's the Russian lot.
The touch of the kidnapper's hands made all those thoughts drift aside. But anger, pain and frustration sang along with tears. Which caused me to hit the railing with my fist.
"I'm sorry, sweet girl." Silver said, squeezing my shoulders to calm me down and make me feel more confident.
"All right. The past cannot be changed. I shook my head, trying to unhook the pirate captain's hands from me.
"Are you sure?" The fat man asked sarcastically, then pulled on his grin and spoke. "Well, since you're going to my ship cabin boy, I'm going to show you that you're my girl here to work and not cry."
I couldn't believe my ears.
"What?!" I exclaimed in indignation.
"From now on, I won't take my eyes off you, I see?"
"You have no right to talk to me like that!"
"As long as I'm the captain, you won't eat or sleep without my permission. You won't even get off the ship without my knowledge!
"I'll do without you somehow!"
"Oh, you can be sure of that, Lassie girl. You can be sure of that, my dear!
