140 Level Forty One! (1/2)
”How long before we arrive at our destination?” Pedro's Aunt Veronica asked Paul as sweat drips on her troubled face.
”We'll be there in a few minutes.” Paul Solares answered, calmly. Then, he glanced at Beatrice who was the second in command of the Naval Team and said, ”Be ready to fight. We'll arrive at any moment.”
”Tch!” Beatrice crossed her arms and flicked her tongue in response. Then, she complained, ”Is there really a need to fight? I mean... Shouldn't we join hands together and fight the freakin' monsters instead?”
Despite the complaint of Beatrice, Paul simply frowned in response and said, ”These are the Captain's orders! If you have complaints, tell him directly! And... I am sure that there were reasons for his decisions.”
Hopeless, Beatrice sighed and left the CBCR. She headed towards the front most part of the deck and stood there with her arms crossed, while her attention was focused on their front.
”Fighting other humans?” Beatrice said as her face wore a frown. ”What is that bastard thinking?”
~~~~~Attack Team's POV~~~~~~
Just when Pedro started grilling the birds, Sabrina woke up next to Yojiro. Knowing that she was amongst the last ones to logged off, Pedro can't help but gaze towards her out of concern, thinking, 'Did she even eat or take a bath? I know that she wanted to spend time with me, especially after what had happened. But... I am worried that her health might get compromised just because of that!'
Consequently, Sabrina gazed at him, eyes to eyes, as if sweetly asking, 'Is there a problem, dear?'
Her simple and innocent eyes made Pedro blush 'inwardly' and it, consequently, made him avert his gaze--shifting his attention back to the bird he was grilling.
Pedro shook his head a couple of times--seemingly trying to shake off the embarrassment that he felt, and thought, 'How embarrassing! I hope that she won't make a big deal out of it! Speaking of which!'
Yojiro chuckled lightly in response when Pedro averted his gaze from Sabrina after they stared at each other with a 'tinge' of intimacy. His chuckle was loud enough to break the awkward silence and, consequently, make Pedro fake a few coughs as he glanced back towards Sabrina.
”By the way... I have something for you!” Pedro said as he handed two books and a Random Creature Transformation Skill to Sabrina.
Since Pedro was grilling with his right hand, Sabrina took the initiative to stand and sat beside him whilst receiving the books and the skill. Then, she checked the two books first, since she was already familiar with the Random Creature Transformation Skill.
”Myself? Leveling up is not my problem. So, it's better if you'd use them instead,” he said, calmly. Then, he gazed towards Sabrina with a smirk on his face, and said, ”Besides... I want to fight along side with you. How would it be possible if you are asleep?”
Sabrina could only force out a smile in response. Her heart raced suddenly at that split second, rendering her speechless. That said, she was able to control the happiness and excitement that she felt deep inside, probably because of the after effect of her Demon Eyes.
Pedro was slightly dismayed by her lack of reaction to his 'spot hitting' words. Hence, he simply shifted his attention back to the birds and asked, ”Won't it be fun, don't you think?”
