Sins Paradise: Domination System

Chapter 377 377 – A Pirate Showed Up!

?

My date with Cecil was fun. She wasn't lying when she said she knew the best seafood restaurant. I even ordered more to be put inside my inventory so I wouldn't need to visit this city many times if I wanted to eat it.

After that, we just walked around and bought some clothes for her: some long-sleeved crop tops, leggings, and pareo.

The date continued with visiting the beach and playing around. Night arrived quickly, and we rented a nice hotel to continue having fun inside.

We only did it once as we already had enough fun for the day, and she asked me to rest. The next morning, Cecil went out first to get the refund Marny promised. I accompanied her because I was a bit worried the tavern girl would plan something else, but that worry was unfounded.

Only the old man was inside, with some sailors who spent the night drinking.

"This is the refund. Sorry for my girl's behavior yesterday. You won't see her again, I promise." He said so, handing us a bag with 10 thousand Golds inside.

"Thanks." I took the bag and put it inside my inventory. He looked at me in surprise but quickly erased his expression again.

"No, it's our fault. Also, I heard from my daughter that you are investigating Mr. C?" He asked in a low voice, and I nodded. "I see. As my apologies, I will tell you about him. Whether you trust me or not after what happened yesterday is up to you."

"I appreciate that."

It was my intention from the start, so I was glad he took the initiative to tell me about it. Just as he said, whether I trusted his information or not was up to me, especially after Marny gave me the wrong information yesterday.

Cecil seemed to trust this old man more than Marny, seeing she wasn't angry at him.

According to this pops, whose name was Gon, Mr. C was Viscount Steelwill's second son, born from a mistress he had previously slept with. This world allowed polygamy, but cheating was still seen as Sins.

So, to save his reputation, he ended up marrying the pregnant woman, much to the first wife's dissatisfaction. This happened more than two decades ago. He also explained the situation of the Steelwill Viscounty in detail, including what problem they had.

It turned out there was a war of succession too, as the current Viscount was nearing 60 years old already.

The second son, feeling threatened, chose to use what his father left alone and took over the Assassin's Den, giving them a ridiculous mission with less to no pay. He became Mr. C, who turned the previously feared Assassin's Den into a bunch of miserable wretches.

After giving us that information, old man Gon told me Mr. C's real name was Mair Steelwill. He also told us the name of the Viscount and the first son, Jonathan and Colten.

I thanked the old man and left the tavern after leaving 3 Golds for the beer he gave us while listening to his information.

"You can trust pops, boy. He has experienced something bad and will stick to his rules, and that's not to betray the trust of his guests." Cecil spoke as we walked back to the beach to find a ship to return.

We didn't use [Teleportation Gems] because that would be boring. Besides, I also wanted to fight some sea monsters to increase Cecil's Level. The world might become dangerous if I fail to finish this Quest.

For insurance, I would also take Eliza to Level Up and tell her to train more with Emilia again.

Anyway, finding a ship in the early morning was easy. We didn't take any room and just stayed on the deck. It wasn't to save money, but it was so other people could also board and stay in the room safely.

Cecil still had the [Ogre Club] behind her back, making it convincing to the ship crew that we could defend ourselves. The crew was happy that more people who could fight boarded the ship, but the hired mercenaries didn't.

They were the same people who saw us flirting when we sailed from Lima Port City to Tiga Port City.

"Hahaha, these people are looking at us with jealous gazes." Cecil laughed as the ship started to sail, leaning her back against the railing. "How about we show them how to kiss, boy?"

"That would be interesting, but I'd rather not show them your sexy face," I answered with a cheesy line, feeling a little bit embarrassed because of it myself.

"Feeling possessive, eh? But you got a point. Lately, I felt disgusted when men looked at me with lecherous eyes." She said, looking around the ship.

"Yes. I am a greedy and possessive man. So I want to keep you and the others for myself."

"You're now really good at talking." She giggled, covering her mouth with her hand. "Are you not embarrassed with those lines?"

"Well, compared to when I need to give speeches in front of an entire Capital City's citizens and other Duchy, it is not as embarrassing as that," I answered with a sneer as I turned around.

The vastness of the sky spread in front of me, with a dot in the distance hidden behind a cliff, seemingly moving toward us. I narrowed my eyes and heightened my focus.

Noticing my sudden silence, Cecil looked at me and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm, well… There is another ship over there." I replied and pointed at the dot. The outline became clear as we moved closer slowly.

"Where?" The minotaur girl asked once again as she leaned against the railing, pushing her breasts onto it. Her ass raised, jiggling slightly from her movement.

Thankfully, she was wearing a pareo, so the outline of her ass wasn't visible.

'Focus, Arthur. You should see the ship in the distance and not your lover's ass. You had enough of it last night.' I scolded myself.

Shaking my head, I took out a telescope and handed it to Cecil. She took it without any question and used it immediately.

"It's there," I said, pointing at the black ship approaching us. It didn't seem like it was following the wave, as the hull of the ship crashed against big waves as it tried to reach us. "Is that what I think it is?" I asked, my lips curled up slightly.

"It seems so," Cecil answered and put down the telescope. "What are the captain and the vice-captain doing?! They should've informed the passengers and the sailors!" She growled in anger.

There was no sign of a warning. The sailors were still walking around, doing their usual jobs, such as cleaning the deck and controlling the sail. No one seemed to notice a ship was coming toward us.

Even the hired mercenaries hadn't noticed them yet. They were too busy staring at Cecil and me with jealous gazes. I wondered whether they were even skilled and that they managed to detect monsters yesterday was only luck.

Cecil's eyebrows creased as she turned around in frustration over their lack of professionalism and shouted, "Men! Tighten the mast and spread the sail! Go over the north at full speed. There is no time to waste!"

The sailors stopped and looked at her with a strange gaze, wondering why she suddenly shouted like that. But Cecil didn't budge and stepped forward, causing a loud creak to ring from the deck.

"Didn't you hear me?! We have a pirate at bay, aiming for us! Move right now if you don't want to die! Spread the sail!" She yelled a thunderous roar once again, slamming her club into the deck and created a hole in it.

"Y-Yes!"

At once, they began to run and followed Cecil's command. The authority behind her voice and her charisma from commanding a pirate ship for a few years caused the sailors to follow her.

I didn't know what to say about it; besides, she looked cool when she took command at once. I smiled, took out a captain's hat from my inventory, and gave it to Cecil with a bow, imitating a certain pirate movie I knew.

"Your hat, captain."

Cecil looked at me strangely. But when she saw a red captain hat that I had in my hand, her grin widened.

"Aye. It's time to run from the pirate, mate!"
