The candlelight was soft in the dark.
The sound of the waves was clear to the ears.
Amidst the peaceful atmosphere, Kieran and Ohara unconsciously looked at each other before shifting their gazes away.
Ohara blushed a little, tilting her head and looking outside the narrow window.
Kieran lowered his head and dug into the food on his plate.
He wanted to use food to divert his attention.
It wasn't a good idea.
But it was the only thing that Kieran could think of before his eyes.
As for the result?
As Ohara joined in the meal, an unknown silence appeared between the two of them, mixed with a sense of awkwardness.
Throughout the entire dinner, only the clashing of the cutlery and plates were left.
It was very subtle as well.
Both of them were very careful, trying their best not to make any noise.
There were only two words to describe what Kieran felt at that moment: troublesome and strenuous.
In simpler words, Kieran had never eaten such a torturous dinner before.
"I'm full!"
After swiftly finishing his portion of food, Kieran strode out of the cabin.
He really couldn't stay any longer.
At that moment, he would rather Ohara tell him more about his past than to be like this.
.quldu.
Silence.
What a torturous meal!
After walking out of the cabin, Kieran let out a long breath while facing the sea breeze and looking at the starry night sky and the moon.
Kieran had made up his mind, before Ohara returned to her own cabin, he would never step into that cabin again.
After putting down his backpack and the box with Arrogant Word, Kieran leaned on them and squinted his eyes, waiting patiently.
A few minutes later, Kieran opened his eyes.
It wasn't because Ohara had left but because Azinder appeared in front of him with a smile.
Looking at the captain of The Coral who prepared an unforgettable dinner for him, Kieran raised a brow. His instinct told him that he should also leave an unforgettable memory for the captain.
"Azinder, have you heard of night swimming?"
Kieran asked.
"Night swimming?
"Of course I know!"
"It used to be popular among the youngsters on the West Coast for a long time. It was only until the appearance of the Predator at night that people gradually forgot about it.
The captain of The Coral, who thought he had done a good deed, didn't react at all. He simply followed up on Kieran's words.
"Yes, I want to see people swimming at night."
Kieran nodded and said calmly.
"Now that I think about it … Ahhhhh!"
Before Azinder could finish, he was thrown off the boat by Kieran. A series of agonizing screams broke the silence of the night.
"The captain has fallen into the water!"
"Hurry up! The captain has fallen into the water!"
…
The people on duty on the deck shouted loudly. Those who had fallen asleep were also startled awake.
When Azinder was fished up to the deck, it was already 10 minutes later.
Azinder's face blushed when he saw the crew members staring at him in astonishment without knowing what was going on.
A captain falling into the water was nothing to brag about.
Especially …
Someone had to save him.
If it wasn't for the fact that the ship belonged to the Sanctuary and everyone on board was a member of the Sanctuary, Azinder would be doubted if he could continue to be the captain based on that point alone.
After all, no sailor would willingly serve a captain who didn't know how to swim.
After chasing away the sailors who were watching the scene, Azinder walked towards Kieran angrily.
He wanted to question Kieran why he did it.
However, when he saw Kieran's calm expression, Azinder's anger couldn't help but vanish. Instead, a chill ran up the back of his head.
"Before …"
"Did I do something wrong again?"
Azinder finally reacted to the situation since he wasn't an idiot.
Therefore, when Azinder stood in front of Kieran, all that was left on his face was a bitter smile.
"I think no matter what happens, we should use words to communicate!"
The captain of The Coral said.
"But sometimes, we need to use other methods!"
Kieran didn't refute the captain but insisted on his own opinion.
Instantly, the bitter smile on Azinder's face got heavier.
Just when Azinder was about to give up on the unnecessary conversation with a stubborn person like Kieran, Kieran suddenly asked, "What do you think about the ambush that happened in the evening?"
The bitter smile on Azinder's face instantly vanished.
The captain of The Coral looked at Kieran with a serious expression.
"Did you notice anything?"
Azinder asked.
"Nothing!
But at least I know it wasn't a coincidence. It's almost impossible to lock down a special ship like The Coral in the vast sea but the enemy did it. How do you think they did it? "
Kieran said with a ruminating expression.
"There will never be a traitor on my ship!"
Azinder emphasized.
The captain of The Coral looked even more serious than before, the beard on his face was standing up because of his clenched lips, as if he was a hedgehog that had curled up into a ball.
"Maybe there is, maybe not, who knows?"
Kieran then picked up his backpack and box and headed back to his cabin.
He clearly saw Ohara carefully avoiding the others and returned to her own cabin.
It seemed like Ohara didn't want anyone to see her for some unknown reason.
Still, it fell into Kieran's eyes.
Kieran shrugged and didn't care at all.
Instead, after he returned to his cabin, he started to explore Dawn Force.
As for the possible traitor on the ship?
Kieran believed Azinder would handle it properly.
...
After the sudden ambush, The Coral didn't run into any more enemies for the next three days.
The journey was smooth and smooth.
It felt like the ambush before had become unreal.
However, Kieran who was on The Coral could clearly feel the jitters under the calm atmosphere.
Even though he didn't step out of his cabin often.
After three days, the exploration of Dawn Force still didn't make any progress.
Fortunately, thanks to the dinner that night, Ohara was in an unknown state and didn't dare to appear in front of Kieran.
It made Kieran heave a huge breath of relief.
Carrying his personal belongings, Kieran couldn't help but curl his lips into a grin when he saw Hologest Port getting clearer.
Although it wasn't the real West Coast City, the thought of it being less than three hours by car from West Coast City lifted Kieran's mood.
In his plan, before heading to Ciaran City, he would have to return to West Coast City for a while.
Not only because it was the place he was most familiar with, but also because he had questions about Alchemy and Potionology that he wanted to ask.
Charles and Simones for advice.
Pro level Mystical Knowledge was far from enough for Kieran.
Even though Kieran wasn't sure which of his four skills, Alchemy, Potionology, Astrology and Research of Mystical Beings would be upgraded to Master level.
However, if he wanted to upgrade his Mystical Knowledge to Master level, the remaining three skills had to be at Entry level. It forced Kieran to continue taking care of them.
However, accidents always happened.
When The Coral docked at Hologest Port, Kieran saw Ellie Jones and Charles and Simones behind her.
The young lady also noticed Kieran coming down the ship.
Her face was filled with joy.
However, she let out a cold grunt right after.
Ohara had somehow arrived beside Kieran and was walking side by side with Kieran.
Ellie Jones immediately threw an unfriendly gaze at Ohara.
Ohara replied without showing any weakness.
