Saphira giggled. “May I sit down?”


    “Of course,” Aldred said. “How can I let a beautiful girl such as yourself stand while all of us are sitting.”


    Saphira blushed at the praise before sitting down. “If you don’t mind me asking, Sir Aldred. Where do you n to go with your new fleet?”


    “Looking for the treasure of course. But I don’t know the exact location. The astrbe will lead me to it. But I heard the blue sea will be our next journey, that is why I prepared a fleet. And if you ever meet the empress, please ry my thanks. Because of her I got a big discount.”


    “I will do that for you.” Saphira smiled. “But the blue sea is a dangerous ce, Aldred. Are you sure you want to go there?”


    “I heard people say that. How dangerous is it really?”


    “The blue sea is filled with powerful creatures that even tinum Rank would never feel safe at sea without a proper boat. Because of how vicious the sea was, monsters were known to have Gold Rank strength at minimum, and tinum Rank beasts were abundant. You might even encounter a Diamond Rank monster on your journey.”


    、 Aldred nodded. “It may be a dangerous ce. But if others dare to do it, then why shouldn’t I?”


    “Indeed.” Saphira smiled. “I admire your bravery. It is no wonder a man such as you would be apanied by beauties in your journey. Looking at them, I can feel their bravery and power. But most importantly, I can feel their unbreakable trust in you.”


    The girls smiled when they got praised by her.


    “The blue sea is a dangerous ce, but that was where opportunitiesy. Only those who are willing to risk their lives will prevail and reach the peak. I really admire you, Aldred.” Saphira nced at him with an adoring gaze.


    “You know so much about me, miss Saphira. But I have to apologize for myck of knowledge. I only know you recently, and I don’t even know the existence of Phoenix Military School.”


    Saphira giggled. “You don’t have to speak with such formality. I have heard of your unique personality, and would like to know your true self.”


    “Why don’t you see my true sizeter in bed as well?”


    “…”


    The girls looked at Aldred dumbfoundedly in awkward silence, until Saphira broke it with augh.


    She cutely closed her lips with one hand while giggling. “You are a charming man, Aldred.”


    Aldred smiled. “I will take that as a yes.”


    Saphira nced at him, but did not deny anything.


    So there was probably a chance. Though Aldred didn’t actually want to take the risk. She was the daughter of the headmaster from a renowned school. Her father must be of nobility to obtain that position, and he did not want to offend a noble, especially if that noble was on his side.


    “Would you like to visit the school to take a look?” Saphira asked.


    “Good idea. What do you girls think?”


    “We can take a look,” Mary said. “I want to see the school as well.”


    They all nodded in agreement.


    “Well, why don’t we eat more food before we visit the school.”


    “Yay! We will eat again!”


    Saphira shrugged her shoulders with a smile. “Please eat as much as you want. I will cover the bills.”


    It was really nice having a rich beauty as a friend.”


    “No need to do that, Miss Saphira,” Zafrina said. “You have covered our bill earlier. This time, I will be the one who covers it.”


    Saphira nced at her elegant demeanor and was impressed at how noble-like she portrayed herself. Just by her posture in sitting down, she could tell that this woman was a noble.


    “May I know who you are?”


    “I am Zafrina Chanterre, Daughter of Count Aleron.”


    “So you’vee from Thignia. Chanterre is very far from here.”


    “It is. But the longer I can be with Aldred, the better.”


    Saphira smiled. “Even the daughter of a count said to be as powerful as a duke is in love with you, Aldred. All men in this continent must have a dream of living your life.”


    Aldredughed. “Yeah, some even tried to kill me.”


    Saphira giggled. “Oh look, the dishes areing. Please enjoy yourself once again.”


    When the waitress put all the tes down, they immediately stuffed their faces with food. Only Zafrina, Mira, Rachel, Kiara, and Mary ate their food elegantly.”


    They ate so gracefully, that one might stare at them for hours and not get bored.


    “Hey, you guys heard about this Aldred guy? His bounty is everywhere.”


    Aldred raised an eyebrow when he heard his name being called.


    “How big was the bounty?”


    “It was 25 million gold coins before, but now it was increased to 75 million gold coins.”


    “For the smell of my dad’s armpit! What the hell did he do to get thatrge bounty? Even a tinum Rank might be enticed by such arge sum.”


    “You fool. Are you living in a cave? How could you not know Aldred the Golem Master and the Ruler of Death.”


    “If you know something then tell us. Don’t insult us like that.”


    “I heard he cleansed an entire province of bandits using his undead, and then he went to a dangerous dungeon and wreaked havoc there. But what made his bounty so high was his action in Paphia-Yevieleria war…”


    “What! He sessfully conquered a city in less than a day?”


    “How could a lone Gold Rank do that?”


    “His army of golems was said to be asrge as the ocean, and the power of his undead enveloped the sky with darkness. He also has a mysterious power that can paint the sky red and suck your soul out slowly. During the process your body will feel weak and heavy.”


    “How is that possible? Don’t give me bullshit.”


    “Trust me, bro. I heard this from a reliable source.”


    “Man, fuck your source.”


    Meanwhile, Aldred ignored them and continued eating his meal.
