[Vol.2] Quest 179- InspectionSince they had ti to kill, Cirrus, Ai, and Nox went around the city exploring and enjoying themselves.
"These street foods are pretty good!" said Ai.
‘Very!!’ said Nox.
‘…Were lucky Ai and
have immunity but not Nox? Does she even have anything against poisons or sothing? Oh well, she's never gotten sick before, so it should be fine. I an, this street food is delicious!’
They went around for a bit before they all started to get tired.
"Shit we should have found a room first." said Cirrus.
"How about that place?" asked Ai, pointing at a fancy building.
"…Good thing I saved up all my Valis’."
They get an expensive room and stay in a luxurious room for the night, getting a nice view of the city.
The following morning,
"Is everything ready?" asked Ai.
"Yup! Get on and we can set sail!" said William.
They got on board, and sure enough, they set sail.
Woosh!
Woosh!
Woosh!
"You seem to have good sea legs." Said William, coming next to Cirrus.
"Not the first ti I went out to sea, I have sailed with Lord Poseidon after all."
"Figures! By the way, I looked into it a bit, and umm…" He leaned in. "Are you really level 8??"
"I am, does that make you feel safer?"
He smiles broadly.
"Of course! Easiest money I ever made! I’ll let you know if trouble cos up!"
Williams leaves and Ai, with Nox on her shoulders, cos by.
"So what were you talking about?"
"Just chatting, and you? How are you faring?"
"Good…a bit nervous though."
‘She’s been queasy for a while now since returning ho or…’
"Is Nox talking about
being queasy? I took the pills Circe gave , so it’s not that."
‘Can she tap into our conversation!? Is this what they call a won’s intuition!?’
"Must be the food we ate yesterday or possibly a combination of the food and nervousness."
"Hmm…maybe. Don’t you have an antidote or sothing?"
"Well I never made anything for nervousness, but I can lend you my armor to help with it?"
"No…I can stomach it for now, but I don’t know what-"
"Ship ahead!! It’s an inspection ship headed by the vice-captain of the Bishamonten Familia!"
"Ah, fuck…"
They went up to the front of the ship and looked to see an eastern-looking ship modified for travel by wind or people. On the front of the ship, one could see a white-haired Renard draped in traditional samurai armor with a red and black color sche to it.
"So…that’s your older sister, huh?"
"…Yeah." She said a bit nervously.
The ships got closer, and they eventually boarded William’s ship.
"Captain Williams," said Aki. "What brings you back to the great nation of Yamato?"
"rely transport, nothing else, and maybe so high-quality goods from so rich clients."
"Hmm…and who are you transporting?"
"Those two over there."
Aki looks over to see Ai and Cirrus with Nox on Ai’s shoulder.
"…Ai?" she said, walking over to her. "You are Shirakusa Ai, right? I had thought you had died in Orario given that Lord Susanoo nor Lady Kushida ntioned you?"
"I’m alive and well, Aki. You don't sound worried about
possibly dying."
"Well I knew you were alive. I an all of Lord Susanoo's children are tough."
"That's cool so um can we go now?"
"Why the rush? I would like to catch up with my estranged little sister! And besides, who is this handso human next to you?" She looked at Cirrus up and down.
"He’s my boyfriend."
"I see, I see…what?" Her eyes widen a bit.
"I said he’s my boyfriend. You know, a lover? Do you know the-"
"I-I know!!" she said, a bit flustered. "I’m just…shocked you would found soone…" she then muttered sothing to herself but Ai heard sothing about not having a boyfriend or sothing.
"Oh? Are you still single?" Ai began to make a smug grin.
Aki took a step back.
"N-no!! I am dedicated to my career!! A-anyway, this inspection is done! You can go now!!" She quickly took off and they returned to sailing again.
"My…she shares your blushing face." said Cirrus grinning at Ai.
"What!? You take that back you liar!! He’s not right, is he!" She looked at the crew and they all nodded. "Ah dammit!!" She then looked back to Cirrus. "Then do you find her attractive! If we have the sa blush then-"
"I'm not gonna answer-maybe." He said making a even more smug grin.
"Grr!! I know your teasing !"
"Don’t worry I won't stop with the teasing Ahem! She has a very cute blush. Right guys!"
"Hm! Hm!" They all nodded.
"Hmmm…." She said puffing her cheeks in embarrassnt.
Boom!
Boom!
Cannon fire could be heard from the direction Aki was in. They looked to see so pirate ships coming.
"Lucky us there after your sister’s ship." Said Williams. "The poor fools, they don’t know she’s a level 3."
"Hmm…you have a cannonball right?" said Cirrus.
"Um yeah? why?"
"Well as I said, I was going to deal with any pirates. Besides, it’ll be nice to have her in our pockets, wouldn’t you say, Ai?"
"Oooh! I see!"
Back on board Aki’s ship.
"Dammit! These pirates!!" said Aki.
"At least Adam’s ship left already!" said one of the crew.
"Your sister seems really nice at least?" said another.
"Yeah, you kept talking about how you wanted to et her!"
"And you never get the chance due to your work!"
"Shut up! Shut up! All n, prepare for battle!!!" she shouted.
"Uraaaa-"
Boom!!!
They saw the pirate ship get struck by a cannonball, and the pirates started to panic until another ca and the ship started to sink.
"…Um did we get reinforcents?" asked a crew mber.
"We…don’t have reinforcents." They looked at where it ca from and saw Cirrus up on top of the ship with Ai throwing him cannon balls.
"…Say wasn’t your sister a level 5 from the last bit of information?"
"Yeah…" said Aki.
"Does that an…her boyfriend is stronger than her?"
"….Ah."
