92 The Migratory Flocoloso Birds. (1/2)
”We are about to log off!” Sabrina waved goodbye as she and Loren started walking towards the second of the three rooms in the Control room.
”Take care! Don't forget to remind everyone to keep everything a secret. The fewer people that know about our progress the more we have an advantage against them.”
”You don't need to worry, blockhead!”
”Then... ” Pedro smiled as he approached Sabrina.
”Then?” Sabrina was confused. Loren can only watch the events unfold in front of her.
Pak!
”A~a!” Sabrina was astounded after Pedro flicked his finger to Sabrina's forehead. He didn't give Sabrina a chance to retaliate and placed his head near Sabrina's ears.
”I love you...” Pedro whispered into the ears of Sabrina.
”Y~y~youuu!”
”Bag!” Sabrina sent a strong punch to Pedro's stomach that made him curl up.
”A~a! Cough! Cough!”
Sabrina took this chance to escape as she pulled Loren's hand. The two entered the room but before the door was to be closed Sabrina sent a slight smile to Pedro.
”These two lovers... Sigh...” Loren shook his head as she lies in the bed and log of the game.
...
”Hah... I expressed my love and I got a punch in return.” Pedro stood as he shook his head. He sighed as an NPC crew walked towards him.
”Captain! We detected an unusual amount of energy ahead of us!”
”Ho?” Pedro became serious as he walked with the NPC towards a 'magical monitor' that was shining a bright light.
”Can't we circle and avoid it?”
”About that Captain. It would take us months to reach the BHO HQ if we circled it.”
”That long?”
”Yes.”
”I see... Then we have no choice but to head forward!”
”As you command!”
”You. Go find Faunia and tell her to come here.” Pedro pointed to another NPC Crew who saluted in response and immediately left out of the Control room.
”I have a bad feeling about this.” Pedro stared at the far distant sea. As the ship continued to sail forward, the cloudy sky in front of them started to become dark.
~~~~~~~
”Human, What do you need?” Faunia arrived in the Control room minutes later.
Pedro was still standing staring in the dark sky and vast sea ahead of them. He didn't glance at Faunia as his face had a troubled look while his hand was rubbing his chin as if in deep thought.
”Look.” Pedro pointed forward which made Faunia shift her glace in that direction.
Faunia's eyes stared deep in the far distance. She looked like someone trying to spot something in the distant. Seconds later, Faunia seemed to spot something that made her frown, slightly.
”That...”
”Huh? What is it?” Pedro glanced at Faunia troubled.
”Relax, Human! It's nothing. There are just some pests around that area.” Faunia smirked confidently.
”Pests? You mean... Monsters? Isn't it dangerous for us?”
”Dangerous?”
”Yes, Dangerous?”
”They are measly pes~monsters, human!”
”Hah... We have the firepower to fight monsters. But, Ain't it better to reserve our strength for now?”
”For what? Don't tell me that you are scared, human.”
”Of course not! It's just that we are already operating with the least amount of crew. If we suffer casualties, won't that be a huge problem?”
”No, You Ignorant Human!” Faunia sighed as she shook her head.
”Huh?” Pedro and everyone else was astounded.
Pedro's analysis was correct. If they are to suffer casualties, the speed upon which they would reach BHO HQ would be reduced.
Considering that they are already traveling the slowest pace, Pedro knew that they can't afford to be of any slower.
Else, They might end up missing the recruitment event that they badly need.
”Tch... I am here! Did you forget?” Faunia scolded. Then, She walked towards the door of the Control room to the Deck of the ship.
”Eh?”
”Eh..”
”Eh?!”
