As we entered the room, I saw the minotaur man from that day sitting on the edge of the bed, already fully clothed.
"Oh, Cecil? What's up?" He asked casually, raising his head.
"We have a job."
They began to have a conversation about the job Cecil secured from fooling the sailors last night. I listened to their conversation, and Cecil also told her brother about me.
Surprisingly, he was okay with me tagging along when Cecil said I was obedient to her and was her plaything. I swore I would make her regret calling me that in the future.
How did I say it? I didn't expect both of them to believe in me so easily. Crane didn't even meet me yet. It could also be due to their overconfidence in something they kept a secret between themselves. At least he was still a bit wary when Cecil mentioned about me earlier.
"Did you have fun with that girl, Crane?" Cecil asked her brother, looking straight at him.
The minotaur guy grinned, "Oh, yeah. She was willing to wear a costume I bought, so I asked for her. She's a bit expensive because she was a virgin, but it's worth it. Her tight pussy is the best!"
"Is that so?" She added. "I also had fun with my boy last night, so I won't scold you this time."
"You're the best, sis." Crane chuckled lowly. "I am now interested in that boy."
"He's on the ship. And he's so cute and handsome."
Their conversation derailed slightly before returning back to the scam protection business.
My attention went to the bed. To be exact, to a girl with nun clothes that lay motionlessly on the bed, covered in various liquids, including a pink and white one. A sweet smell penetrated my nose, and I knew that the pink liquid was an aphrodisiac.
Cecil pinched her nose and only gave a side glance to the girl before resuming her conversation with her brother.
The girl wasn't a real nun, as the clothes' quality was way lower than what usual Castitas Church's nuns wore. It was just a costume. There was no way a nun would work at a place like this as a prostitute, even when they were desperate.
That poor girl… This man probably couldn't handle a girl and only satisfied his desire. It was by her choice to be here, but I thought she deserved to be handled with care too, just like how I wanted to give all girls who slept with me pleasure and satisfaction.
Unfortunately, I wasn't a saint. So, I wouldn't do anything for her. But…
'Don't worry, girl. This Crane will stop sleeping with girls carelessly or even stop altogether after I finish my plan.'
As I thought so, their conversation about the business was over, and the minotaur guy, Crane, said something that caught my attention.
"Alright. Because they seem wealthy and have a lot of ships, let's bring them to that place where we hide that thing, shall we? It will be risky, but we will get a big haul this time if we succeed."
"I agree." Cecil nodded, grinning widely. "And I can show off to my new boy to make him trust me. That way bringing him to Domination House will be easier."
"Hahaha! I hope there will be a virgin in those sailors' ships too. If so, then I can also dominate her and train her to be my slave!"
"Do as you please. I will allow only one, though, as I only have one too."
"Alright alright." Crane shrugged his shoulders. "Let's get some thugs to hire them. They will be perfect for our plan."
'Lady luck is with me.' My lips curled up into a grin in the shadow as I heard that.
The fact they wanted to hire thugs meant the first event had almost started. Their first appearance in the game was on the ocean with their ships filled with thugs, attacking the protagonist's ship as he went to investigate the area with the least sea monsters.
Meaning they had stopped this scam protection and went full pirate mode again, as they realized it was more profitable than extorting people from protection money.
'And this job is probably what makes them change their mind about their operation.'
At that moment, I heard a notification in my head.
[Ding!]
[A new Quest has appeared.]
[Find the hidden Pirate Treasure!]
This notification only served as a confirmation that this hidden thing was something I sought and probably was closely related to the first event.
My bad, Cecil. But things wouldn't happen as you planned.
Because if we followed the storyline, this was where your plan branched.
***
To not bring any suspicion, I returned to the ship first and changed my clothes to a luxurious white shirt and black pants, waiting on the hull while reading a novel I bought on my way back.
This way, I would look like I was resting and not draw any suspicion from Crane, seeing how he looked wary when Cecil mentioned about me, although his expression quickly shifted.
I also had time before they returned as they stopped at a certain place to recruit some thugs, so I checked my new quest.
Quest:
- Find the hidden Pirate Treasure!
Quest Description: The pirate siblings seem to hide a treasure they used to scam people out of protection!
This treasure is important and has a direct connection to Sins Paradise's 'Sea Monster Paradise' event!
Secure this treasure, and you will get a reward! If you fail, then a scary and wild Scylla will appear!
Deadline: 7 Days
Reward: 20 Sins
I wanted to hold my hand and curse loudly so badly if not for the fact that I was currently infiltrating a pirate ship and acting like an innocent boy.
Now I was sure someone was watching me and my bonus stage. It must be that guy who told me I couldn't return and asked me to choose the bonus stage.
'Fuck.'
The choice was whether I chose to finish the quest to get 20 Sins or cure Isabelle's trauma by letting this monster be released.
From the description, this treasure or magic item seemed to have sealed Scylla or could command Scylla. In the end, I should still find this treasure.
Based on what Isabelle told me, this Scylla was probably a Boss-rank monster. Unlike a normal one, a Boss-rank monster's status could break the limit as all of them had <Limit Breaker> title and were usually defeated by a party or many parties in a raid.
In short, it was an unbelievably strong monster that even Level 90 Tristan and her party were wiped out easily.
Of course, it would be easy for me, but this complicated many things.
"The pirate sibling has a treasure like that? I might need to resort to violence if they don't show me the treasure after they are done with the job." I muttered and looked at the bright, blue sky devoid of clouds.
My mission was to secure the treasure, not to find it. I could just think of my next move after I saw the treasure and appraised it.
On the corner of my sight was the radar, and the minotaur siblings already reached the port and approached the ship. In fact, they had already walked up the bridge to board the ship.
I pretended that I didn't notice them and looked at the book. Their footsteps got closer and louder. Then they appeared, smiling at me.
"Boy." Cecil called out to me, and I raised my head to look at her with a bright smile.
"Cecil!" I replied cheerfully, putting up a happy face. Then I looked at the green-haired man with a wild look beside her. "Who is he?"
"This is my brother, Crane." She introduced, pointing at him. "He's the captain of this ship."
"Hello, boy. I heard from Cecil that you were asking for our protection for a few days. Don't worry! We will protect you as long as you stay on this ship!"
"That's reassuring! You also look strong, so I am relieved."
I shook the hand he offered me and smiled. His eyes showed no wariness, and he looked down on me because I just looked like a naïve, handsome boy who ran from his home.
"Can I call you captain, if you don't mind? I am looking forward to working with you!"
"Hahaha, sure!" He laughed loudly, pulling his hand away. "Just ask Cecil if you need something. She's a good girl, so I know she will take care of you to the best of her ability."
"I really appreciate it, thank you," I responded.
'She treated me really well. And I will treat her really well too, Captain Crane.' I added in my mind, hiding a smirk that glossed over my face for a second.
'I know you will regret it when the time comes after you ask her to take care of me.'
