Chapter 56: Well, What's your answer?
1048 Words
After I showed them their guest room, they seems to immediately pass out and sleep in their room... So now, Mashura and I sit down in the Captain's Deck...
"So, what do you think of them, Mashura? Do you think they worth being in the Crew?"
"... I mean, I'll consider them as strong for now. Because they're not bad. They manage to kill a dragon in the midst of that panic situation... Granted that if we didn't come to help them, they would've died there."
She looks serious. She doesn't have any harm meaning in her words. So I understand what she's trying to achieve here...
"What do you think though? Do you think they have the potential to become even stronger? I know that David is still far from done even though he look like an old man."
"You notice that? David and Yuri is probably Seven Years apart... So probably, Thirty Four and Twenty Seven? Their age?"
I agree with Mashura math. I think they're seven years apart because Yuri look too mature to be any younger than that, and also, David look like he's really old, but you know, technically speaking... There's no way that the parents would wait for that long for the second child...
It's just... Too harsh for the first child and second child if they did do that... There wouldn't be any sibling feeling between David and Yuri if that actually happens...
So yeah. We deduct it like that...
"Regarding Yuri, she's still far from the Golden Age of her ability... But still though, she's older than us both... There's no way that she can keep growing further and further from us... But it's worth a shot though."
"Alright... You want to train Yuri to see if she is worthy to be our crew?"
Mashura immediately shake her head... So, I immediately ask for her reason.
"We need to wait for their commitment first. If I started beating her, she might lose interest in becoming our crew and eventually... What will she do? Quit and disappear. Our secret is in their hand. And if they're not trustworthy, I won't be letting her live."
Yeah... I agree with you. We do need to give them some sort of test... Just to see their commitment... They said that they want to tryout first. So, let's give them the most fun part about being my crew. Which is, Treasure Hunting...
"But what about David though, Alfredo? He's already past the golden age to train. What are you going to do with him?"
"... Well, from what I've seen... He's more like a Tank. The Frontliner of the Group... He doesn't need to rely on much technique... He's a pure, power fighter that can endure hits and also attack really hard. He doesn't need to refine his technique in any way. Pure power is the best way for him."
"I see. I trust your judgement on him... If they did become our crew, We now know our job."
I nodded and she smile. She hug me from the side and then muttered.
"Now I want to spend time with you though... Let's not talk about other people and just... Have some fun talking about the Island itself..."
I pat her head and then kiss her forehead... Sometime, she do be like this... She try to hide her disappointment but in the end, she want to cuddle with me...
"Alright then... Look at the Map along with me..."
She nodded. We both reclined our chair and then conjoined our two chair together. We just put our arm on each other and then I started looking at the map..
"So, We're going Treasure Hunting today... The spot that we're going to look today is there..."
Suddenly, a red X symbol appear on the map of Rhea... It's on the North West of the Island... It's a natural made big hole on the ground...
"Chreation told me that this spot is made because of meteorite... This Hole is actually the site where the Meteor strike, And of course, The Old Rhea Kingdom harvest the Meteorite to make stuff with it... And over Two Third of the Meteor has been harvested by that Rhea Kingdom. So we left with whatever left in there..."
"... Wait... Is it Really a Treasure Hunt if we already know the spot?"
"Well, yeah. It is a Treasure Hunt, The Treasure is not the Meteorite... There's supposed to be a hole on the wall in that hole in the ground... If we manage to get through that hole, we arrived at a quite big cave system where it's filled with all sort of mineral... For over centuries, this island hasn't been touched. So something must have been forming in the underground."
Mashura nodded like it's a good thinking coming from me... Well, it's just a common sense... Rhea Island is known for its unlimited Resources after all... The God truly are, blessing this island for them. And I'm trying to revive this island so that we can get the blessing...
"And if we manage to get into the cave system... We can look for Rheanite and other material that we might find... And with enough resources, we can drill the rest of the Meteorite to make our new Prototype... And with that, we can also mine the rest of the resources in the hole..."
Mashura immediately widened her eyes. She smiled cheekily and said.
"I know what you're trying to do now..."
"Exactly... Reviving the old Rhea City, but this time, Rhea Absolut is the center piece of it all... The Castle, will be functioning as a Living Quarter for us, but it's not going to be as great as the Rhea Absolut... We're going to use Rhea Absolut as our Main base and home. Because it can move, and probably better anyway."
Mashura nodded in agreement... A Natural smile comes out from her and then from the Radar... Yuri and David walk toward us. They look determined. I don't know if they've talked it over themselves or they're just resting for a bit before...
"... Sir Alfredo Hagane..."
The two of them stated my name like that... I turn around and look at them both.
"Well... What's your answer?"
"Our answer is..."
