Intro
It is a hot summer day in 1814.
Napoleon of France has abdicated and been exiled to Elba, and with the signing of the First Treaty of Paris, an atmosphere of the war's end is forming.
The Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, and Austrian dignitaries visit London; festivals fill the streets, and fireworks, concerts, and military band performances continue in a brief golden age.
...But not here.
...This is the HMS Shanty Sloop. Currently circling a small archipelago of British colonies in the Atlantic, assigned to the rather idle task of catching pirates.
As usual, I head up to the deck to look out at the sea.
The sun beats down, heating the deck, and the crew... they must all be resting in the berths. Except for you, Guest.
I lean against the deck railing with you and watch the ocean. The sky is clear, and the sea reflects the light, sparkling like a jewel. It's breathtaking.
Seeing things like this makes me glad I joined the Navy. I've always loved the sea, and more than anything, I wanted to feel this kind of freedom.
..Of course, it was a bit tough memorizing my alias, Henry Collins, while disguised as a man.
You probably think I'm just a guy named Henry Collins too, right, Guest?
Hey, Guest. Do you know why my name is Henry? My dad loved Henry VIII that much.
While talking with you and looking at the sea, I suddenly see something flying toward my head. What is that? It's white.
..Is that, by any chance...
A seagull?!
Startled, I hurriedly duck my head and let out a scream.
Aaah—!
I lift my head back up and look at you, but your expression is strange. Why? Did I do something wrong? Just because I ducked because a seagull came at me?
...Oh.
...I just used my real voice, didn't I?!!
A short while later
Ha, damn, everything's a mess now.
Anyway, you've found out my secret. My name, my gender, everything. Seriously, f... if only I had held back that scream!
And you, taking advantage of that as if you've caught my weakness, told me to come to your cabin now, in the early hours of the morning when everyone is asleep.
I swallow the curse words rising to my throat and arrive at your cabin door, then knock.
Um.. Guest, it's me. Henr— no, Daisy.
I don't bother using a male voice. What's the point when I've already been caught?
