Chapter 192 - Chapter 192 An Interview With The New Pirate King

As Thomas sat there in the inn beside the window staring at into the ocean he mumbled "Its already been a week." Thomas leaned back and yawned as he asked "Why is it taking so long?" Lily glanced at him and said "Maybe you should ignore that and think about how your gonna fit Mira on the boat." Thomas stared at her and said "I thought it was obvious that I already thought of a way." Poppy stared at Thomas and said "Your gonna keep her in the subconscious over the trip right?" Thomas nodded and said "Yup, otherwise we may not be able to fit her on the boat." Poppy stared at Thomas and said "You could say it a little nicer, some women are sensitive about there size." Thomas sighed and said "There's a lot you should probably tell me before I mess up on." Lily stared at him and said "It's better if you learn from experience, or else you'll end up with other weird habits like bathing with a blindfold on when your with others." Lily pointed at Thomas and said "You don't even have to worry about wearing that thing when your with us." Thomas stared at her confused and said "But isn't it also rude?" Lily sighed and said "I'm just a kid and I'm sure Scarlett and Ocis wouldn't mind." Thomas stared at her and said "Better safe then sorry." Poppy stared at Thomas and asked "Are there other reasons you wear those blindfolds." Thomas nodded and said "When I accidentally went to the other dimension and met Kate there was this thing called a tv that shown a man getting slapped for accidentally looking." Lily stared at him and said "I don't really know what your talking about but you shouldn't worry so much." Thomas stood up beside the window and said "There's no telling if the others will be upset or not so I'd rather avoid it." As Thomas hopped onto the windowsill Lily stared at him and asked "Where are you going?" Thomas glanced at her and said "The others are out on quests so I'm gonna go find something to do." Poppy stared at Thomas and said "Wait take me with you, it's been a while since I've gone anywhere with you." Lily picked Poppy up and said "I'll go with you too!" Thomas jumped from the window and said "Alright I'll meet you down there." As Thomas landed a man stared at Thomas and said "There's the man we've been looking for!" Thomas stared at him and asked "Do I know you?" The man walked towards Thomas and said "Relax we don't know each other and that's the problem." The man pulled out a piece of paper and said "I've been searching for you so I can get a few words from you." Thomas peeked at the paper and seen a sketch of him and asked "What's up with that?" The man shown Thomas the drawing and said "I only had time for a quick sketch of you after the Pirate king left and I got word you hadn't left this town yet." The man stared at Thomas and asked "Can I get a word or two from one of the new pirate kings?" As Lily and Poppy arrived calling Thomas's name the man glanced at them and asked "What are your connections with the pirate king?" Lily stared at the man and nervously said "I own him?" The man began to write something on the paper as he said "Very interesting, anything else?" Thomas stared at the man and asked "Is any of this really necessary?" The man stared at Thomas and said "Every little detail, now why don't you tell me a few things about yourself." Thomas glanced at Lily and Poppy as he asked "Will these words be heard by others?" The man glanced at Thomas and nodded as he said "Of course after all I am a rather experienced reporter." Thomas stared at the man and said "Fine you want a few words, I was told that people would be against a demi human pirate king, and if they have a problem with it feel free to come at me with everything you've got." Poppy stared at Thomas and sighed as she asked "Are you trying to make even more enemies?" The man began to write as he said "I can't really tell if your words are threats or an invitation." Thomas began to walk away as he said "As if they need to know, let them figure it out." Lily stared at Thomas and said "You should take this more seriously, what if they send an army at you?" Thomas glanced at her and said "I'm just a demi human to them so they wouldn't think to send more then three people." The man stared at Thomas and said "Actually sending armies is highly likely." Thomas stared at the man and said "Then bring them." Lily stared at him and said "But if more of them come your gonna end up killing them." Thomas glanced up at the sky and said "Yeah your right, but as long I've got you guys around I should be fine." As Thomas glanced back at Lily her face was bright red. Thomas walked towards her and asked "What's up with that look?" Lily turned away and asked "How can you say such embarrassing things with a straight face?" Thomas stared at her confused and asked "Did it sound stupid?" Poppy stared at Thomas and said "It's probably because you don't usually say things like that." Thomas glanced at the reporter and said "We're dome here you can leave." As the man walked away Thomas tapped Lily on the back and said "Hey if your done with whatever you were doing we can leave now." Lily turned around completely startled as she stared at him and said "R-right we should go now." Poppy glanced at Thomas and asked "Where is it we're going?" Thomas shrugged and said "Dunno, I was gonna look for that dungeon." Lily stared at Thomas and said "But Ceil and Poppy said you weren't gonna go." Thomas began to walk off as he said "I never said I wasn't going to I said I probably wouldn't." Poppy stared at Thomas and said "I'm just glad we got to go with you." Lily nodded and said "Yeah you normally ditch us and leave us completely worried." Thomas glanced at her and said "I've come back alive so far, or at least mostly alive." Poppy stared at him and said "You've already had a few near death experiences, let's try to avoid another." Lily nodded and said "If you die my adventure ends here." Thomas began to walk away as he said "Even if I die I'm sure your adventure will continue, it might actually be easier without me." Lily stared at him and shouted "Don't say stuff like that." Thomas glanced at her and asked "Why not?" Lily pointed at him and said "Even if it is easier that doesn't mean it'll be fun." Thomas turned around and asked "What if the odds would turn in your favor?" Lily stared at him and said "As long as you belong to me I won't let you leave us and I definitely won't let you give yourself up for us like before." Poppy glanced up at Lily and said "Maybe it's best not to remind him of when he was drunk and fighting the king." Thomas turned back around and said "Alright I get it." Lily stared at him and said "I don't think you do but I'll trust you do." As Lily walked beside him she grabbed his hand and asked "Do you even know where it is?" Thomas glanced at her and said "I wasn't doing nothing this hole time." Poppy stared at Thomas and said "I know, you already figured out where it was." Thomas nodded and said "Yeah I was just waiting at the inn listening in on the conversations about the place." As they began to walk Thomas said "They said something about the creatures." Poppy stared at Thomas and asked why wasn't this in your memories?" Thomas stared at her and said "It was but I couldn't really hear him." Poppy sighed and said "That could've been vital information." As Poppy climbed onto Lily's shoulder and up Thomas's arm Lily asked "Do you think just the three of us will be able to make it all the way through?" Thomas shrugged and said "It's worth a shot." Poppy stared at him and said "Wait you were seriously gonna go even if you knew nothing about it?" Thomas nodded and said "Yup, it's a good way to kill time." As they stood outside of a doorway Thomas stared at it and said "Looks kinda old." Lily nodded and said "This one isn't considered a dungeon because some creatures moved in, this one is probably older then the world itself." Thomas glanced at her and said "Seriously, does that mean they're just born here?" Lily nodded and said "So long as a demon lord lives this dungeon will continue to give birth to monsters." Lily pointed at the doorway and said "But luckily the creatures inside can't leave this place."
