Chương 84: Volume 3.6 Tangled in an Unknown Conspiracies

"There is nothing... I could give you in exchange... for saving my life. But I gave you my deepest gratitude." Maru said between the lines as he wolfed down the food Rein gave him.

"Hmm...It's alright." Rein said. "And one more thing. Our captain wants to talk with you." 

"Your captain?" 

On cue, Malaya entered the room, trailing behind her was Iris. 

'Blue hair...and eyes.' Now that Maru noticed, Rein also had the same looks but it was not as vibrant as the girl who entered.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir Maru." Malaya greeted as soon as she entered.

"Meet the captain of our ship, Lady Malaya."

'Captain...' Malaya thought in surprise. 'When did I become the captain here?' Though she was surprised it didn't show a bit to her calm smiling face. 

'I guess that would be a given since I owe this ship.'

"I-I..." panicked filled Maru's face.

"It's alright," Malaya said. "No need to stand up."
