It would be very hard to convince the Ministry that they were okay without their help. "Hmm?" Eino was lost in thought when Kurumi spoke to him. He really wanted to, but he couldn't find a way to board the ship. "How do we get up there?" He looked around. There wasn't a ladder or anything that would give them a boost.
Well, how to get on was rather obvious, wasn't it? You just simply walked up to the plank leading from the shore to the boat and walked acro-----
Oh...there was none. Well, now THAT was interesting. How were they going to get on the boat. Kurumi supposed the better question would be how did other people get on there?
"
Do you think everyone else swam out to it?" she asked already knowing that that idea sounded a bit ridiculous. "
Oh, what about if we try using that?" she asked pointing to a rather large piece of wood floating by the ship. Perhaps it had fallen off from the deck, but it looked like it was large enough for both her and Eino to stand on and then they could use their hands, or make oars from something, to paddle their way out.
