Chapter 98 / Chapter 99

"This is Merry, an elder I greatly respect, hee hee~~"

Merry nodded to Makino and said in an extremely gentle tone, "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Makino smiled and said, "Mr. Merry, it's a pleasure to meet you too."

"By the way, Pirate are coming. Be careful and don't run around."

Kaya nodded, hummed twice, and said with a smile, "Sister Makino, we just heard that Pirate were coming, so we came out to see what was going on."

"To be honest, I've never seen Pirate before, not even once in my life."

Hearing Kaya mention Pirate, Makino shook her head slightly and couldn't help but smile wryly, saying, "In our village, there's a little brat about your age who's always saying he wants to go to sea."

"He always says his dream is to become the Pirate King, and no amount of persuasion can change it; he just wants to set sail and go on an adventure."

"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. I'm going to go take a look out the window."

Makino smiled Gentle and asked, "And you, Kaya?"

Kaya nodded her little head, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her smile pure and sweet, "Of course it's great! That's exactly what I was planning to do there."

"Merry, let's go over there and take a look, then go back to our room, is that alright?"

Merry glanced at the window, which was at the end of the corridor, only a few dozen meters away, not too far.

"Okay, but after taking a look, you have to go back to your room. You can't stay outside any longer."

Kaya nodded emphatically, then playfully scolded, "Okay, okay~~"

Then, looking at Makino, he said with a grin, "Sister Makino, let's go over there."

Then, the three of them walked to the window and started chatting.

"Sister Makino, what do you do?"

Kaya, holding her book, looked at Makino with the curiosity of a child and asked, "I feel that you are so Gentle and kind, I really like you."

Makino smoothed her deep green hair, smiled sweetly, and said, "My sister runs a tavern in Foosha Village."

"Kaya, I like you very much too. You seem more Gentle and ladylike than me. I should learn from you."

Kaya felt a little embarrassed by what was said, her face blushing slightly. She smiled sweetly and said, "No, I'm not as good as you say, sister."

(Hey guys, the picture above is of Kaya. I really like her too; she's so kind, cute, and innocent. In today's society, beauties like her are long extinct, lol -_-||.)

Chapter 98

Soon, the three arrived at the end of the corridor. Looking into the distance, they saw a Pirate ship rapidly approaching them.

"Kill them all! Kill everyone on board! Hahaha..."

"Damn it, Chris can put a 100 million bounty on his head, so can we, hahaha..."

"If we rob this merchant ship and kill them all, our bounty will definitely rise to tens of millions!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, faster! I'm going to kill people, kill a lot of people, hohoho-~~"

"Charge!"

Hearing the Pirate's roars and feeling their immense killing intent, the three of them could no longer remain calm.

Their faces showed fear; they were extremely worried.

Makino has met real great Pirate, but even those who became Four Emperors Sea) were very easy to talk to; they wouldn't be this terrifying.

"This is troublesome. Hopefully, the ship's security team can repel them."

Makino shook her head, her long, delicate eyebrows furrowed, her pretty face filled with worry. She murmured, "Otherwise, I'm afraid we're doomed."

Kaya gripped the book tightly with her small hands, her beautiful eyes filled with fear, and her originally fair face appeared even paler.

"How terrifying, is this Pirate are like?"

"Why are they so aggressive? We didn't do anything to them, so why are they targeting us?"

Merry was also very worried and quickly said, "Miss, it's too dangerous here! Let's go inside quickly, hurry!"

Kaya's interest in Pirate had completely vanished, and she quickly nodded and hummed in agreement.

He looked at Makino and said urgently, "Sister Makino, please stay with us, it'll be safer that way."

Merry wanted to say something, but then thought better of it.

He had a good impression of Makino, a beautiful woman, and felt that she was very Gentle and wouldn't hurt Kaya.

"Great, I'd love to chat with you."

Makino smiled slightly, her demeanor dignified and elegant, exceptionally Gentle.

Then, the three of them didn't linger and hurried towards Kaya's room...

On the deck of a merchant ship.

As the owner of the ship, Jaoine has an obligation to stand at the Front Line and take command.

"Klahadore, why aren't the guards firing? Why aren't they retaliating?"

As the Pirate ship drew ever closer, Jaoine frowned and asked with great urgency.

Kuro made his habitual gesture, pushing up his white glasses with his right palm, and said calmly and steadily, "Master, I've already instructed the security team to attack immediately."

"The fact that there had never been Pirate before made these guys complacent, leading them to live a life of idleness and complacency, without any sense of crisis whatsoever."

"When I called them just now, they were all either drinking or sleeping. After hurriedly getting up, they still had to go find guns."

"Master, the security team is no longer of any use; we have to rely on ourselves."

Upon hearing Kuro's words, Jaoine swayed slightly, but Kuro quickly steadied her.

Jaoine shook his head slightly, sighed, and said with a bitter smile, "It's over, it's all over now."

"These Pirate are all vicious and ruthless; how could they possibly let us go?"

A glint of wisdom flashed in Kuro's eyes, and he said calmly as always, "Master, there is no other way but to abandon ship and escape."

"Let's get on the spare boat and leave immediately. That's the only way."

Jaoine is a very loving person; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to raise such a Gentle and kind girl Kaya.

How could he possibly abandon the passengers and escape alone?

How can his conscience possibly allow him to live with himself?

"No, this won't do. I'll be putting everyone in danger. I can't abandon them."

Jaoine shook his head repeatedly, refusing without even thinking.

Knowing Jaoine's character, Kuro had already guessed he would say that, so she said calmly, "Master, even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Miss."

"These Pirate are ruthless killers, evil to the core."

"They like women, and once they find a beautiful one, they will never let her go."

"Miss is so beautiful, what if this is discovered?"

Looking at Jaoine, Kuro feigned urgency and quickly said, "Master, we can't wait any longer! Please take Miss away quickly, I beg you!"

This blow struck Jaoine like a heavy blow, and he reacted instantly.

Kaya was his most precious treasure, more important than his own life.

Even if something happens to him, he would never allow his daughter to be in any danger.

"Quick, quick, let's get Kaya and leave right away!"

Without saying a word, Jaoine immediately strode forward and ran quickly towards Kaya's room.

Kuro glanced at the Pirate ship not far away, his eyes filled with malice, and he cursed under his breath.

"Damn Pirate, how dare you disrupt my plans! You deserve to die!"

He desperately wanted to kill them all, but that would undoubtedly expose his identity. He could only glare fiercely at the Pirate ship before quickly following Jaoine away...

Kaya's room.

With a bang, Jaoine quickly opened the wooden door, looked at Kaya inside, and hurriedly said, "Kaya, come here quickly, let's get out of here right away."

The three people in the room were all startled by the sudden appearance of Jaoine.

Hearing his urgent voice, the three of them became even more uneasy and tense.

"Father, what happened?"

··· 0 requests for flowers · 0

Kaya immediately stood up and asked in a flustered manner.

Standing in the doorway, Kuro said quickly, "Miss, don't ask so many questions now, let's get out of here quickly."

"We can talk about it on the way; we can't delay any longer."

Just then, the ship shuddered violently and began to rock.

All five of them swayed and almost fell over.

"Kill them..."

"Kill all the men, leave the women alone, hahaha..."

"Help! Please spare me! I have money here, I can give you all of it, ah..."

"Spare me! I have an eighty-year-old mother and a two-year-old child at home. Please have mercy!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill them all! Hahahaha..."

A cacophony of sounds erupted from outside: the roars of Pirate and the pitiful pleas of tourists, rising and falling in waves.

The situation has reached a critical juncture!

"Hurry up..."

Jaoine grabbed Kaya's small hand, her face filled with panic, and urged her on quickly.

"Yes, Father."

Kaya was about to take a step when she suddenly remembered Makino and quickly said to Jaoine, "Father, this is Sister Makino."

"Let her come with us. Sister Makino is a very nice person, I like her very much."

Only then did Jaoine notice the green-haired girl. Without hesitation, he said, "Okay, let her come with us. Let's all get out of here quickly."

"Thank you Father!"

Kaya, innocent and lively, had no sense of danger whatsoever. Looking at Makino, she quickly said, "Sister Makino, let's leave quickly!"

Makino was deeply moved by Kaya's consideration and care for her.

My impression of this girl with light blonde hair was absolutely fantastic.

"OK."

Makino didn't say much, and quickly followed him toward the door.

"Hahaha, I heard a woman's voice! It sounds so good! I'm really in luck now, I can have some fun, la la la~~"

Before the five of them even reached the door, a wildly arrogant voice suddenly rang out from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a dark-skinned, tall, and burly Pirate appeared at the door.

"Ouch..."

"Wow, there are two beauties! I'm rich! I'm really rich this time!"

"Before those guys get here, I'll have some fun first, hahaha..."

(After reading the comments, some readers said it was padded. Well, actually, it was all for the sake of writing about Kaya and Makino. The author didn't want to padded it at all! The author's integrity is top-notch, how could I possibly pad the word count? It's all for the sake of the plot o(╥╥)o.) 10.
