Moses and his companions boarded the Ellen.
As they got inside, the captain quickly came over, and his face is full of respect.
Moses and Menchi were surprised by the captain's reaction. Their first thought wasn't that the captain was ill, but rather the realization that the captain probably knew Linne.
And indeed he did.
The captain came directly to Linne, bowed respectfully and said: "Linne-sama."
"…"
Linne just raised her eyes to look at the captain, then ignored the captain and motioned to Menchi to help her to a place where she could sit down.
The captain seemed to be used to Linne's attitude towards people and didn't pay much attention to it. He had already instructed the crew to bring out Linne's favorite recliner in advance.
"Over there."
Pointing to the recliner, the captain whispered to Menchi.
Menchi nodded and helped Linne over to the recliner.
Moses stood still, glancing at the captain. With him as a reference, he suddenly felt that Linne's attitude towards them wasn't bad at all.
The sea breeze blew gently.
And Ellen set sail and sailed through the waves.
Because of Linne's boarding, Ellen directly changed its original route and headed to the port closest to Swardani City.
The captain's decision caused complaints among some passengers who hadn't disembarked yet, but these complaints were quickly suppressed by the captain.
Where the ship would dock didn't matter to Moses.
The Hunter Exam had ended, and the Heavens Arena had been over for three months, so they had probably lost their qualifications.
Moses hadn't thought of a destination yet. So he felt that following Ellen's route for now and then visiting Swardani City wasn't a bad idea.
…
A few days later.
Ellen docked at a port called Saida.
It was only half a day's journey from here to Swardani City.
If they want to go faster, they can take a detour to the airport and then take an airship directly to the Swardani City, which will take about two hours faster.
Moses chose to take an airship to Schwaldani City.
After making the decision, Moses symbolically invited Linne to come with him, but was rejected.
So, Moses and Menchi bid their farewells to Linne here and took a taxi to the nearest airport.
Then Linne watched the taxi drive away.
The captain of Ellen stood respectfully behind Linne, ready to receive her orders at any time.
After a while,
A black luxury car stopped in front of Linne.
"…"
Linne motioned with her eyes to the captain of Ellen to leave, and then slowly got into the back seat of the luxury car.
The captain of Ellen touched his nose and watched Linne leave.
"Moses, Menchi..."
Turning his eyes to the direction Moses left, the captain of Ellen whispered to himself.
'To be 'taken seriously' by Linne-sama...'
'Their future must be expected.'
…
Evening.
Moses and Menchi arrived in Swardani City.
As the city where the Hunter Association's Headquarter is located, there is naturally a Linne Food Market here.
So, after Menchi got off the airship, she happily ran to Linne Food Market.
She has just mastered the rudiments of her ability, and is full of demand for any high-level ingredients.
On one hand, she wanted to practice her abilities, and on the other hand, she wanted to make various delicious dishes for Moses.
"Feel free to use it."
Moses handed a card to Menchi.
There is about 7 billion Jenny on the card, and it could withstand Menchi's spending even at Linne Food Market.
"Master, then I'm going."
Taking the card, Menchi looked towards Linne Food Market in the distance.
"Um."
Moses nodded with a smile.
With the permission granted, Menchi immediately ran towards Linne Food Market.
Moses then headed to the Hunter Association's Headquarters.
'Let's first find Cheadle to find out the progress in the Nen Space, and then, go visit Sanbica.'
He called a taxi and soon arrived at the entrance of the Hunter Association's Headquarters.
Moses got out of the car and walked quickly towards the entrance of the Hunter Association's Headquarters.
Just as he took a few steps, a figure rushed over.
Moses looked over and saw the figure pounce on him.
"Waaah, you've been out of contact for more than three months. I thought you were filled with cement and was sank into the sea, or that you were eaten by wild animals until you had no bones left, I was so worried."
That figure was Pyon, clinging to Moses' neck and sobbing with her head buried in his chest.
Of course, apart from being quirky, not a single tear was shed.
Black lines appeared on Moses's forehead, and he pried open Pyon's hands off his neck.
"I'm really sorry, I wasn't cemented into the sea by someone, nor was I eaten clean by wild beasts, sorry for making you worried."
"It's okay, as long as you're still alive."
Pyon let go of Moses, stopped the sobbing act, took a step back and looked at Moses with a smile.
"Eh?"
She suddenly discovered something and circled around Moses.
"It's only been more than three months since I last saw you, and you've grown a lot taller!"
"Yeah."
Moses nodded calmly.
For the past three months, he had been eating wild game carefully prepared by Menchi every day.
As a result, his height suddenly surpassed 1.7 meters.
For those who don't know, it's hard to tell that he was only 14 years old.
"What have you been up to during this time? Your phone has been off all this time."
Pyon asked.
Moses looked at Pyon's somewhat interrogative reaction and asked back, "Didn't I tell you?"
"…"
Pyon narrowed her eyes, and couldn't help but think of the previous phone call with Cheadle, and suddenly said word by word: "You... didn't... tell... me!"
"Then maybe I forgot."
Moses raised his hand to his chin, then shook his headand said, "It's all in the past, and it doesn't matter anymore."
"!"
Hearing this, Pyon was filled with anger. She opened her mouth and bit Moses's arm.
"Ouch!"
Moses raised his hand and put it on Pyon's forehead, trying to push her away.
However, Pyon hugged him directly, with no intention of letting go.
"Hey, you are a rabbit, not a dog."
"Even rabbits bite when they're anxious!"
Pyon mumbled vaguely.
Moses was speechless by this.
Not far away.
Kanzai, who was about to go out to find food, passed by and saw Moses and Pyon entangled together.
'The world is really changing...'
He shook his head and quickened his pace to leave.
