Chapter 330: V3 Ch 18. Privateer and her seagulls

The question confused me but I quickly gave my answer.

“I am just trying to…”

“Don’t pretend.” Alba immediately stopped me.

“Pretend?”

“You know what I mean. That man would not hire someone naïve. Right now you are in the hornets’ nest, and you better be honest with me.” I shrugged my shoulders.

“Just how much do you know?”

“Only that you were escorted by the Radiant Sun of Benezio, and that you met the Doge twice. Even my hands have limit to their reach.” (A)

“How honest of you.”

“It is not me who is locked with you.” I remembered where my ship is docked, and how many guns are looking at it.

“I see. I only know that they want me to find the pirates.” Alba sat in the thinker’s pose.

After a few minutes of thinking, she lifted her head.

‘Knock-knock’

“Mother, I am back.” Patricia entered with a teapot.

Alba clapped her hands and nodded to me.

“Let’s discuss the business after some tea.” (A)

The tea was nice but a bit too hot. There was no sugar, no snacks, and no conversation.

---

After I finished drinking the cooled down tea, we all sat by the small table.

“We have bad news.” (A)

Patricia stiffened.

“The government plans to attack. We lack the supplies to sail to a different location.” Alba threw me a meaningful glare.

“Luckily, our friend here might help us with it. Am I right?” She drilled me with her glare.

“Not a problem. I just need to know where to go.” I answered without hesitation.

“Then, I will bring you a map of major shipping routes. Fetch us a few tons of provision and we’ll be even.” Alba left us.

“Just what did you two talk about?” It was Patricia’s turn to glare at me.

“Nothing.”

“Uhu.” (P)

By the evening we finished discussing what exactly I need to bring, and where I will be ‘hunting’.

Finally, I was standing at the pier, fully briefed.

“Bye-bye, work hard to please your superiors.” Alba was smiling and waving.

“Yes…”

“Phew, finally this day’s over. I’ll go and read some…” When Patricia turned around and started walking away, Alba caught her by the collar.

“Where do you think you are going, Dear? You will join your wonderful friend in her mission. It is YOUR problem to make sure we receive everything we need before those motherf*ers arrive.” (A)

“Wait! Wha…! No!” (P)

“Stop throwing a tantrum. Time is not waiting.” Alba leaned closer to Patricia.

‘It’s your chance.’ (A)

“What?! You! Mother, I hate you!” (P)

“Can you, please, stop this? I would be more than grateful if you have this talk away from me.” Finally, my patience ran low. I just felt that it will continue for a long time.

“You heard your mate. Fair winds and following seas~!” Alba pushed Patricia towards the ship. The girl immediately stomped towards ramp.

“This is not over, you hear me?!” After a couple more ‘threats’, Patricia disappeared on the deck.

Now it was my turn to face Alba.

‘Gulp’

“You bet I will not let you run away, should anything happen. You better pray you meet that person, rather than return empty-handed. Got it…?” I nodded fervently.

“Then I don’t dare holding you here any longer. Farewell, I will be waiting for you.” She smiled and waved to me until I was on the ship.

After some awkward maneuvering and zigzagging between pirate ships, I reached open sea.

All this time I was glared at.

“This is not my fault, you know?”

“As if I care. If it was not for you, I would not even be here.” (P)

The sailing continued successfully, because there was no talking afterwards. Whenever I tried to start a conversation, I was hearing rude remarks and resentment. In the end I just had to accept that this won’t work out, and focused on the controls.

In the midnight I turned around and saw that Patricia was snoozing. If it was Veronica, I would’ve covered her with something, but this person will be fine by herself.

---

By the dawn I approached one of the shipping routes between Benezian colonies, and stopped the ship by an island.

“Mhm… Where am I…? Ah, right… I am with that s*y cat…” (P)

“Good morning to you too.” I returned to mindlessly looking at the horizon.

I was bored to death. Aside from a couple of seagulls on one of the guns, there was nothing to look at. I was even considering shooting the seagulls with an AA machine gun but I was reluctant to kill my only source of enjoyment for a brief moment of fun.

To avoid spending time with Patricia, I headed to the deck and started fishing.

In a couple of minutes, I caught some fish, and the seagulls carefully positioned themselves nearby. To show my gratitude for keeping me amused, I threw them a fish. They immediately voiced their gratitude.

While I was busy looking at the seagulls, I noticed a ship in the distance.
