Chereads / Captain! Await your orders / Chapter 5 - What's your order?

Chapter 5 - What's your order?

Zelena is standing behind a young man wearing uniform consists of a dark navy blue suit coat and trousers that are nearly black in colour, a white shirt, and a black four-in-hand necktie, along with his white combination cap. On the center of the lid have a symbol of a ship's anchor coated in bright gold, shine under the sunlight reflecting through the command bridge windows.

"Captain, you look great in the uniform." Zelena smiles, admiring her Captain. Maybe, she does have yandere in her. Dammit, it is perhaps just the stats, her mind was conflicted while standing next to her Captain.

"T-Thank for your help, Zelena." Sean felt awkward but also familiar with this strange Spirit, the moment she steps on the Galeon ship his eyes trained on her, and because of it, the Slave Merchant thought that he ignores him, but in fact, he was captivated by the female stranger.

It is not because of her beauty nor her ability to destroy the entire mercenaries, but the aura around her. It felt like he is meeting a goddess who just descendant from heaven, maybe it is her Spirit ability. However, he knows one thing, she is divine.

What he did not expect is the goddess he admires chose him as the Spirit Holder. Despite the current status as a Slave, he knows a few things about Spirit, especially Marine. One of it is when Marine chooses someone to become their Spirit Holder, the Marine must be robust to break the common boundary. For most, Spirit can't pick their Spirit Holder.

"Captain, Do you need to rest? Look like you are about to pass out." Zelena closes the gap between them as her hand reaches for his forehead, making sure her Captain did not get sick.

"Ah, I am fine. Thank, Zelena."

"Your face is red; it looks like you catch a cold." Her brows knit together, watching her Captain making a distance between both of them while waving his hand in fright.

"I am all right, Zelena. I need time to comprehend. It is hard to change from a Slave to a Spirit Holder."

Sean walks around the command bridge, his hands slide along all the console on board the ship. Curious about the flashing light and noises created from the weird, weird looking shape in this room.

"What all of these things for?" He looks toward Zelena, sitting on the chair with her legs crossed.

"Oh, it is used to monitor our ship. Such as the engine power of the vessel or weapons. However, it does not matter, because I can control with a flip of my hand"It is true, thanks to Zelena powers as a Ship Spirit.

"So you can control everything on board this ship? Without distance restrictions." His brows raise with interest. It is the first time he ever has a conversation with a Ship Spirit, especially one under his command.

"Yes, but I only do so if my Captain order to." She smiles, sweetly at him with her arms crossing under her breasts.

"All right, but I still don't know much about this ship. It is the weirdest ship I ever see in my life. It is big yet move and battle effectively without a hitch."

"Don't worry, Captain. Touch the tattoo on your right hand; it'll provide you with all the information regarding this ship." She uncrosses her legs and walks toward him, pointing her delicate finger at the tattoo on his wrist.

"Like this-?!" Right, when he touched the tattoo, a rush of dizziness hit him before falling unconscious.

"Huh, the same thing happen to me. Well, I hope you learn more about your ship and me~ Captain." With a wave of her hand, the Captain lifted into the air. Zelena walks toward the Captain quarter with her Captain floating behind her.

-------------------------------------------------------------

An hour later, Sean opened his eyes, looking around him before getting up from the bed.

"Ugh, I was overwhelmed with information and lost my conscious." Rubbing his head to ease the dizziness,

"I'm glad that you are awake, Captain." Zelena is standing next to the Captain's bed, watching him with eagerness.

She hopes her Captain learn more about his role as a Captain of this vessel and how their ship function, especially learn more about -her. It's selfish, but it can't help, she hopes he knows more about her.

If not, she shoves everything he needs to know about her in his head~

"Zel-Zelena! You are an S rank Spirit?" Seal can't contain his excitement.

"Umm, yeah." Zelena gave him a wary smile, looking down toward the floor.

It's extraordinary for a Spirit Holder to have an S rank Spirit. Power is everything in this world; it decides your fate. The Strong do what they want, and the weak suffer what they must, having a powerful Spirit serving you. Be that it's the King, the wealthiest merchant, people bow down to you.

After entering the strange space, cover nothing but emptiness. The blue glowing orb appears in front of Sean; curious took over as his hand reach out for it.

When Sean's finger touch the orb, a screen appear in front of him with pieces of information about the ship and his Spirit. His eyes enlarge, as mouth drop opens upon the information displayed to him. It's tell everything he needs to know about the ship such as weaponry, the mobility of the vessel to utilities provided on board. Most important is her rank, the god created the ranking system to judge not on the Spirit's powers but the danger or casualties they can cause. In this case, SS is the highest, and her rank is S which is second from the top follow by alphabet from A to the lowest is F. But in decades only two powerful Spirit emerge, one is the Demon Lord's Spirit and the other Spirit is known as Mist, both are S.

Recover from the shock; Sean looks toward his nervous Spirit standing in front of him. With a broad smile, he stands up from the bed and hugs her.

"Waa, why are you hugging me?" She was taken by surprise when her Captain suddenly hugs her, with a blushed face she tries to pull away.

He let go of her, "Well, I was just emotional for a bit when my Spirit is a legend and my life partner." Embarrassed, he stretched his head.

"Well, please don't do something like that again -Even I don't hate it..." She played with her hands as her voice got smaller at the very end.

"What?" Sean asked.

"Nothing. Captain, I assume you already know all the information needed, correct?" She changes to another topic.

"Yes, I understand how the ship, no, how 251 functions and its abilities." It terrorizes him the power this ship had. One can't judge base of the appearance, for it's a tiger camouflage as a kitten.

"Well, you don't have to do any action but make the decision, I entrust my life to you, Captain. As your Executive Officer and Assistance, I do my best to serve you, Captain." Facing Sean, she saluted.

"I-I'll be in your care as well." Sean returns the salute with clumsiness.

-----------------------------------------------

Sometime later on the command bridge, Sean seated on the Captain chair looking out the vast ocean, trapping himself in his thought.

"So Captain, what do you want to do now?" Zelena is floating next to him, break the silence.

"I am thinking about going back to Dinas, which is the opposite of where the ship I was previously on went." Sean reply, tapping his fingers on the chair arms.

"Dinas?" She never heard that name before. It will be the first civilization she came in contact after arrived in this world.

"Dinas is the port city located on a large island. During a visit, I got abducted." Sean recalled the horrible memory of how those Slave Merchant sailors treated them, and it was inhuman.

"What's your order, Captain?" Zelena asked him.

"We'll head to Dinas and process further after reaching there." Sean leaned back against the chair.

"Roger that." With a grin, Zelena flew toward the bow of the ship. Eager to execute the first task as a Marine.

Zelena immediately sprints to action as difference rings form around Zelena, circling and radiating colourful light. Several screens appear in front of her.

"Captain, everything is green," Zelena speaks through telegraph thank to their connection as Spirit and Spirit Holder.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Set sail, full steam ahead!" Sean stands up from the chair, strike his right hand outward.

251's double propeller starts spinning, pushed the ship forward into the horizon, followed by a trail of smoke released from the funnel. From now onward, Zelena journey truly begins along with Sean, her Captain.

----------------------------------------

An island not so far from where Zelena first arrive in this world. A wooden cabin lies deep inside the forest, isolated from the rest of the world. The door crept open as a young man appears behind the old wooden door. The young man wearing some uniform, based on the design, black colour as the central theme, outline by golden, and on his shoulder boards is four-star. Representing his rank, one can guess, it's Admiral.

"So you have arrived, my Marine" The man smiles, under the shadow of the forest his eyes shine.
