After got off the merchant ship, Flan and I headed to the center of the island using the dock.

There were pirates could be seen here and there, well, of course, since they were pirates, they’re so filthy.
They were using something like scrap of pelt on their arm and shoulder but keep their belly bare, aren’t you feel cold? Is there any means to wear something like that? It’s giving such feeling.
Instead of armor, they crown them self in the skull of demon as strength appeal, it look very heavy. It’s not like they were working under the blast of the sun, so a hat wasn’t necessary right? Even though they use it as a helmet, it wouldn’t be good to keep using it since if the enemy come they would immediately know right? Or something like that.

While walking with such though, the mock of the pirates coming together.

“The merchant today is excessively small!!” “Is she on errand?” “Too small I thought she’s a bug!” “Child should go home and drink your mama’s milk!” “That’s knight is nice! She has a nice ass!” “Let’s play with this oldman!”

Et cetera, et cetera. The uproar made me wonder whether they were really adult or not.

And all of that made a vein bulging on Flan’s forehead.

“…Nene-sama, may I cut them off?”

“Don’t.”

“But, they are insulting Nene-sama… it’s unforgivable! Let’s finely chop them and use it as bait for fish. We could make carpaccio from the fish we  got.”

“I don’t want to have dinner with fish that we caught using pirates’ meat!!”

Flan was really bloody, may be because she had become mercenary for a long time. May be she was even more violent that the pirates here.

“If we don’t have to fight, then it’s nothing better than that, peace is the best. Violence is not good. Because life is precious thing!”

So I tried to say something somehow! Life is… precious… precious? Really? Yeah! I don’t understand what I was saying!

“If Nene-sama says so…”

Flan stopped from drawing her sword, but her hand not moving from the hilt so she could immediately chopping any pirates who cross the line.

While accompanying by chirping from pirates with intelligent lower than chimpanzee, Flan and I arrived at the boss’ mansion. Their chirping is really noisy, it was like getting into parrot’s nest!

“Excuse me! We are coming to meet the boss!”

I give the boss a lively greeting.

The boss was sitting in the big chair covered in leather. It was so majestic that it could be called a throne, however the decoration was not gem but bone and horn from monster. There were also a lot of skeleton decorations.

Pirates were really like bone right? I know that feeling! Bones are really cute and nice right!?

“What are you kids coming for?”

The brawny boss who seemed like muscle monster ask.

“There’s small request, I have something to consult the boss, is it no good?”

“I can’t give good or not without hearing the contents.”

“Umm… it’s simple! Give me one of your pirate ship! The best and the coolest one!”

I reached out my hand with a smile.
