[Aiya!]
On the deck of the Green, Roger and Lina looked at the lively little man flying in the air in front of them in silence.
She seemed to be expressing her wonder at the sea.
[… Oops, I should have known not to bring her along. ]
Lina covered one of her ears, feeling a little depressed.
Although the gardener elf's voice is pleasant, her mouth is too chattering.
Originally, Lina didn't plan to take her with her.
Unfortunately, the gardener elf seemed to have set his eyes on Lina and was determined to sail with her.
Roger thought that there were crops and flowers grown by Lina on the boat that needed to be taken care of anyway.
It can also be used to find the gathering place of the gardener elves and send her back, so he might as well take her with him.
[Meow～]
Daju took a lazily look at the gardener elf in the air, and then looked away.
Roger thought that Daju would be very interested in the gardener elf.
But now it seems that Daju prefers to sleep more.
[Why don't we give her a name too?]
Roger said, stroking his chin.
[How about calling me Little Jizha?]
Lina's mouth twitched when she heard that.
This guy is really bad at naming.
[Let’s call her Iya.]
Anyway, she likes to babble.
Lina thought.
Roger's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought it was a good name.
So, the name Iya was decided.
After automatically filtering out Iya's surprise, the two began to discuss the next voyage.
[Giant Claw Sea Area...]
[Then we need to sail eastwards, passing five small islands along the way. ]
How come it's like passing a bus stop...
Roger couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
The Giant Claw Sea is the sea where Lina's parents' merchant ship wrecked.
According to old Nelson, Lina's parents' merchant ship set out from Big Claw Island.
So, they have to go to Big Claw Island first.
Lina no longer feels as sad as she used to for her deceased parents.
But her desire to find her parents never changed.
This is also one of the reasons why she chose to go sailing.
Rogge would naturally not refuse this.
He now had only one goal, which could not even be called a goal, and that was to find Doyle DeWeese.
However, in this huge world full of sea water, trying to find someone who is nowhere to be found is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
In the future, there may be extraordinary powers or props related to finding people.
Now, let's take it step by step.
[By the way, why is this place called the Giant Claw Sea? Is it because it is shaped like a claw? ]
Rogge took out the nautical chart and took a look at it. Even though the pixelated style looked a bit blurry, he felt that the shape didn't match the claws.
[Well…]
Upon hearing this, Lina revealed a mysterious smile.
[You will know after you go to Big Claw Island. ]
Roger was a little surprised when he saw this.
[Have you been to Big Claw Island?]
[No.]
[That’s why I said you’ll know once you go there. ]
Lina had a matter-of-fact expression on her face.
[…]
Roger suddenly discovered that Lina had a talent for dry humor.
[By the way, today we have to go to the planting area to turn the soil over and fertilize it so that we can plant the crops tomorrow.]
Lina pressed her finger to her chin and began to think about what to do next.
Oh, right!
I also need to find a separate area to plant the exotic grapes.
Rogge suddenly thought of the secret treasure from the sea in his inventory.
So the captain and the deputy captain of the Green began to get busy.
After Yiya came to her senses and found that the two were gone, she flew over quickly, babbling.
…
[You signed a contract with the captain of the Black Brick Pirates? ]
[Why do you want to do such a dangerous thing?]
Lina frowned and looked at Roger, a little angry.
Because he wanted to grow some exotic grapes, Rogge told Lina the whole story of the Black Brick Pirates.
After all, Lina is his partner now, so it’s okay to tell her about this.
However, Lina's focus is not on exotic grape varieties.
Instead, he looked at Rogge with some worry and anger.
[Well…]
[I just want to know why he is so sure that I will want to kill DeWeese after I find him.]
Roger scratched his head and answered honestly.
That's exactly the reason, he was just having fun.
After listening to Roger's explanation and looking at his honest eyes, Lina was silent for a moment.
Although she is now close to Roger and is a member of the same ship.
But everyone has their own interests and dreams.
Roger told her this, obviously out of trust.
She felt that perhaps she shouldn't interfere too much in Roger's choice.
[…Do less stupid things in the future. ]
[I don’t want to change the captain in 20 years.]
Lina sighed and said helplessly.
[Okay, thank you for your concern, baby Lina! ]
Seeing this, Roger chuckled and said shamelessly.
When Pixel Little Lina heard this, her face instantly turned red.
[Who... who is your baby! ]
[rogue!]
After saying that, Lina looked as if she was angry. She turned around and walked to the stairs of the planting area with thumps on her feet.
But she paused again, turned her head, and spoke angrily, speaking very quickly.
[…Remember to bring honey to Iya! ]
After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.
So cute!
Hey hey!
Roger couldn't help but smile in front of the phone screen.
Lina was obviously not angry, just shy.
Roger then began to plant exotic grape varieties.
This thing definitely needs a separate space to be grown.
If it is planted on the deck, Roger will never have to eat fruit again.
In order to make it easier to eat the fruit in the future, Rogge cleaned out a new empty room next to the storage room and put the seeds that had been prepared long ago into a large basin.
The next step is to move the soil and apply fertilizer.
After finishing these things, Rogge dug a small hole in the soil and carefully placed the exotic grape seeds in it.
Then I took out the shower head and poured some water on it.
It's finally finished.
Roger breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the game popped up a few lines of prompts, and the soil where the strange grape seeds were buried also emitted a faint light.
[After independent exploration, you have gained some preliminary understanding of planting, learning progress +1. ]
[Planting: Learning progress 1/100.]
Can exploring on your own also increase your learning progress
Roger's eyes lit up.
It has to be this kind of cheating game, the degree of freedom is really high!
[Strange grape species' favorability towards you +10.]
[Current favorability: 10. ]
At this time, a favorability increase appeared above the strange grape species.
Seeing this, Roger was a little surprised.
Are all the secret treasures on the sea so impressive
There is even a separate favorability system.
Why can't I see any favorability rating above Lina's head
Good steel is used on the knife handle!
Could it be that he wants me to capture a grape seed? !
Pah, bad review!
One ball a day!
