"Why does it look like everyone has a magical aura around them? though it is thin, I still can see it~ Waa!" Pedro glanced over to every until he glanced to Madame Soledad who was covered with a black aura.
"Hahaha! That's because... your eyes belong to a demon from the house of Pride!" Madame Soledad chuckled and explained since only Kentaro and Alivia was awake in the CBCR.
"House of Pride? What is that?" Pedro asked in a confused manner as Alivia face palmed herself.
'It seems like, even after six years of Bearth experience in my past life, I am yet to unfold the true lore behind the game!' Pedro wore a grim smile as he shook his head inwardly.
"Seriously? You didn't know about it?" Alivia asked again with disbelief.
"Uhm!" Pedro nodded in response.
*Sigh
"Remember what I told you about the Demon's eyes... I said that it was once the eyes of an exiled god... or a demon... Right?" Madame Soledad started to explain as Alivia walked towards her seat in the CBCR.
"There was a gods and demon war before Etoros caused havoc in the world! Based on the historical records, It was said that there were seven houses in the demon faction. Each house has its distinct traits from the other houses, that set their members' common characteristics... including the visual techniques they use!"
"How did you know that my demon's eyes were from the house of Pride?"
"..." Madame Soledad smirked as she pointed to her eyes which was also colored all black.
"Your... your demon's eyes were from the house of Pride too?" Pedro was astounded as Madame Soledad nodded to him in response.
"Yes! Abilities or Skills that an inheritor gain will speak to what House does the original owner of the demon's eye belong! After you used your Demon's eyes, everyone around you was rendered unconscious... or suffer minor mental fatigue! It signified that you were looking down upon them like some animal that can be butchered with ease!" Madame Soledad tried to explain in the best way possible.
"My eyes are technically the same. I look down to everyone! That way, I would be able to draw a line that shows the difference in strength between me and anyone and create fear with it. Then, I capitalize that fear to force someone to spill information or force them to do something! Remember your hand when it took the cylindrical container? Haha!" Madame Soledad grinned as she mocked Pedro.
"Hehe..." Pedro could only laugh in embarrassment as a response.
"Well... That's the only thing I can help though! You'd explore things about your Demon's eyes on your own from now on! Although our demon's eyes were from the same house, Each Demon's eyes were unique itself, hence the inheritor himself/herself can only discover and develop the demon's eyes he/she inherited!"
"Uhm! Thank you, Madame!" Pedro bowed ninety degrees to Madame Soledad as he was full of gratitude. First, he would have waited for a long time before he can activate the legacy enhancement. And Second, he gains that much information about it and he didn't get the usual 'one percent' inherit like the other players in his past life.
"Hmm... Can you somehow wake them back up? We are kind of short in time already! We need to be in BHO main base in a few days!" Madame Soledad wore a troubled look as she glace to the still unconscious crew.
"Ok..." Pedro blinked his eyes and it returned to normal. Seconds later, crews started to regain their consciousness one by one.
"What happened?"
"Did I just fell asleep?"
"Did... did I just slack off?"
The crew gossiped to each other like someone who just woke up from his/her sleep. The moment they realize that they were inside the CBCR, they looked at each other and then slowly glance at the same time to Madame Soledad's serious figure.
"Do you want me to ask you 'HOW'S YOUR SLEEP?'!?"
"No! Captain!" Everyone shouted in unison as they went back to their stations.
Boom!
"Should we continue our fishing... Ehm... getting of the ingredients now? Shall we?" Kentaro shot out of the wall and excitedly approached Pedro.
'Ho... Ho... If what I heard earlier is right... He will cook food for us if he has the ingredients! With his demon's eyes! We can get many ingredients... hence... many foods!" Kentaro grinned evilly deep inside.
"Let's go!" Madame Soledad smirked after being reminded of the ingredients and food as she gestured to Kentaro like saying 'Good job!'.
"Go on! I'll handle things here! Just... be fast!" Alivia gestured at the like saying 'hurry and get those ingredients so he can cook and we can EAT!'.
'Why do they look like gluttons to me?' Pedro wore a grim smile inside as he shook his head.
...
*Tok! Tok!
"Get ready young man!" Kentaro smirked after Madame Soledad knocked on a wall of the ship that was like a sign meant for the CBCR. They were on a triangular formation, where Madame Soledad was in the front right, Kentaro was in the front left and Pedro was behind them, in the middle.
"Here they come!" The ship descended a bit until the deck was the only one above water. For some unknown reason, different sea creatures jumped out of the water to attack them. But before Pedro could react, the giant fish of a size of yacht that jumped out of the water was sliced into cubes and was heading straight to Pedro.
"Dang!" He can't help but curse as he faced his palms towards the incoming diced fish. He tossed the Pen-Knife in the air and opened his interface. He set aside the other notifications and only waited for the prompt about "Offer".
"This kid! Just how many secrets does he have!" Madame Soledad shook her head as she glanced to the floating Pen-Knife above Pedro that kept sucking blood.
"Woo!" Alivia's eyes shined bright as she stares at the Bloodsucking Pen above Pedro.
'After that Demon's eyes incident! I now knew that I could trust these NPCs, At least!' Pedro caught a glance of the ecstatically interested Alivia inside the CBCR and could only shake his head with a grin on his face.
