"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 ga.
...
"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 beca 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 co here." Pedro pointed to another NPC Crew who saluted in response and imdiately 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 beco 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 soone trying to spot sothing in the distant. Seconds later, Faunia seed to spot sothing that made her frown, slightly.
"That..."
"Huh? What is it?" Pedro glanced at Faunia troubled.
He was having a second thought of sailing through the dark and mysterious area.
"Relax, Human! It's nothing. There are just so pests around that area." Faunia smirked confidently.
"Pests? You an... Monsters? Isn't it dangerous for us?"
"Dangerous?"
"Yes, Dangerous?"
"They are asly 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 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 recruitnt 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?!"
The NPC crew gulped their saliva as the sky above them beca darker.
On the other hand, despite being nervous, Pedro followed closely behind Faunia and exited the Control room to the Deck.
"Can you at least tell what kind of monster is it? Please don't tell it is sothing very big." Pedro's Pen-Knife slid off his sleeve and started to hover above them.
On his right hand, he held his Faithpursuer Katana.
"Big?! More like small. Those are Migratory Flocoloso Birds!"
"Birds?"
"Khek. More like pests, Human. A Million Flock of Migratory Flocoloso Bir~pests!"
"A million? Are you kidding ?" Pedro jumped from shock.
He knew that Faunia won't lie to him because of many reasons. Hence, even though what Faunia said was hard for Pedro to believe, he can only trust what Faunia said.
"I am not. See it for your self."
Faunia pointed to a black "duck" looking bird that started circling directly above the ship. So of them started charging towards the ship.
"This~" Pedro was speechless.
He wore a grim look as the first batch of Flocoloso birds arrives.
"Faunia! You can transform into your dragon form."
"Tch~ For such pests! I don't need to be in my true form to handle them." Faunia sent a glare to Pedro.
Faunia started jumping up and down while killing the birds with her palm. She looked like a kid who was given a 'fly swatter' and started her revenge on the flies. This ti, the 'fly swatter' was Faunia's hands while her target was the Flocoloso birds.
As usual, the blood of the dead birds was sucked by Pedro's Pen~knife. Almost half a minute after the birds started to attack the ship, a bird was finally able to luckily pass-through Faunia's 'swatting'.
'Oh?' Pedro focused his gaze to the descending Flocoloso bird.
He grasped a few stones on his left hand while the other held the Faithpursuer Katana. He threw a stone to the bird when it was just a few ters away from him.
"Aaaack!"
The bird stagger for a bit but was able to stabilize itself. It aid its sharp, shiny, black beak towards Pedro's neck.
"Swoosh!"

The familiar system notification rang on Pedro's head. The bird was able to make a direct hit as it started to circle and deliver another critical strike.
"Heh... Only Bronze-rated? I was on guard for sothing that is just a re Bronze-rated?" Pedro sighed after being able to scan the bird.
