Of course, the reason Yaen praised Robin was not particularly important. The touch of her fingers was only a small part of it. More importantly, Robin's ability to assist with handling affairs and intelligence was simply impeccable.
It's a pity Robin is still a little too young. Otherwise, she really would make an excellent secretary.
At this thought, Yaen could not help imagining Robin's future intellectual, mature-woman appearance, along with a fitted women's suit.
Hmm, it should... It should be pretty good!
By then, he could hand more important matters over to Robin, while he focused his energy on more important things.
Robin, whose face had unconsciously taken on a faint blush from being praised, noticed that Yaen seemed to be deep in thought about something and could not help asking.
"Big Brother Yaen, is there some flaw in the plan?"
"No, I was just thinking about the future."
Then, Yaen said seriously, "Robin, the warship will reach 741 Marine Base soon. Go back into the Castle for now."
"Mm."
Robin answered, then helped Yaen sort the scattered intelligence, documents, and other materials in the cabin. Only after everything in the cabin had been gathered and organized did Robin return to the Castle to rest.
Afterward, Yaen also briefly straightened his white suit and put the "Zen" cloak back on before opening the door and heading toward the deck.
"Officer Yaen, we'll be able to reach 741 Marine Base in about ten nautical miles," reported the Marine Division Lieutenant serving as the adjutant of the warship.
"Mm."
Yaen nodded and instinctively spread his Observation Haki, extending it in the direction of 741 Marine Base.
"Hmm? That's not right! Why are there so many warships?"
The next moment, Yaen sensed the direction of 741 Marine Base and immediately noticed something unusual.
