Thnks for the chapter!

Instead of the most trusted captain of the royal navy, for example.

Hmmm. Honestly? I'd be pretty sus of even the most "trusted" officer. Because in stories like these it's usually some "trusted" military leader who will be standing there, watching impassively as your head rolls on by.

That's a valid point, but a drunkard and an unknown, unexplained person aren't an epitome of trustworthiness either. An officer at least should be loyal to those he's sworn to protect, whereas nothing, logically, suggests Harold should be loyal to anyone. He's just desperate for a second chance. Does it matter who gives that second chance? But like someone said, in a traditional storytelling way he might be trustworthy. But what the heck is that other dude, Gora, though? It's like he was planted there blatantly as an enemy spy or even as Harold's manager. What role exactly does his presence serve otherwise? It's either that or a red herring.

Harold was a captain when he has a ship and business before he got mutinied and went bankrupt. As much as he trust his own skill, he still need navigator to help him find his way while sailing.

Gora as Harold told Yuri is a navigator and Gora is probably the late navigator's grandchild. assuming this series apprenticeship follow the medieval era, their professions were inherited so the Gora would have been taught every bits of knowledges and tips of the trade that the previous navigators in the family learned of.

And Harold mostlikely choose to honor the last wish of the man he has known to be loyal (the old guy was probably sided with Harold when the crew mutinied) by ensuring Gora is taken care off (in this case has a job).

But that said, there is a possibility that the witches try to meddle with Yuri's by attacking those that conducting business with Yuri like Harold (i assume the mutiny was planned by the witches as Yuri seems untouchable due to his connection to the royal family). And Gora might have been 'compromised' until we know for sure as the story move on.

You know what? Can I convert to Yeesusism and made an oath with Ether sensei as witness?

Yeah I get that the real world culture representation in this one is bad, but as a non Cristian and an uninvolved party (in laymen terms: don’t know shi) I just don’t look too in depth in the world’s structure and focus on the amazing character writing (mc too cool man).
then again, maybe because I’m uninvolved personally that I don’t understand how insulting this could be to y’all, to which case I’d say… it’s just a manga

Which chapter is this in WN?

I don't like to wait long to know what happens next...

the naming, atleast, feels cheap, unless the vestiges of present day nations and culture survived to that point of time.
