บท 73: An Unexpected Reunion?

"Treant!" Pedro glanced to Tan who was standing beside Faunia.

"Yes? Young... master?"

"All treants will remain in the ship and will serve as its protector. The sea here is deep, even for giant creatures like you."

"How... about... the... goddess?"

"She'll be with me! Don't worry about her! Besides... what can 'humans' do to her?"

"..." Tan remained quiet as the treant and Faunia shifted their glance to Pedro.

"What?"

"Coming from you? We won't be worried!" Faunia mocked as she shifted her gaze to the Naga Kingdom.

"So... you guys are saying that it is not safe for her to go alone?"

"Uhm!" The treants nodded in unison that made Pedro shook his head.

"I am with her, ok! What could go wrong?"

"CAPTAIN... WAIT!" A crew member ran out of the CBCR in a panicked mode.

"What?"

"Who would... defend the ship when you are gone? I mean..."

"Them!"

"Trees?"

"Ehm... where's... your... manners... Human?" Tan shifted his glance to the crew.
