(At the ship's dock. The conversation continues.)
SKYE
How's the ship the fastest in the East Sea?
MARCH
After the ship was built it was tested, together with other ships. Most ships usually pick the wind at a slow rate for it to start sailing in the sea. But for the Santa Maria, it picks up the wind at a fast rate and starts to sail smoothly. Around 5 minutes later, you're already 20 Km away from the island.
VEE
What do you think Ryujin? Are you going to pick this ship?
RYUJIN
Yeah. This should save us from being captured by the marines… wait how did you become knowledgeable about ships, March?
MARCH
Because I started working here for a month.
RYUJIN
A month?! Does that mean you arrived in this world, earlier than me?
MARCH
Yes, that's why I was feeling lonely when you didn't show up.
RYUJIN
Okay, now that I'm here. why don't you join my crew? We really need your sniping skills?
MARCH
Okay.
SKYE
You're good with guns, March?
(March forms guns out of nowhere and spins her pistols.)
MARCH
I'm good when it comes to guns. I've never missed a target.
(She shoots at some cans that are about 10 Km away.)
VEE
That's amazing. I've never seen a pirate who has good sniping skills like you March…
MARCH
Of course, I have a keen eye sight…
RYUJIN
So, let's start sailing… since we found a ship and a sniper.
MARCH
For you to sail The Santa Maria… you need to ask the owner of this shipwright company.
VEE
What's her name?
MARCH
Her name is Risa. She lives in a mansion that's located at the far end of the town. I can take you to see her.
SKYE
What's your connection with this girl called Risa?
MARCH
Friends. Like best friends. I'm sure she'll be happy to lend you guys The Santa Maria. But don't mention anything to her about being pirates…
RYUJIN
Why?
MARCH
It's because she has bad history with pirates…
RYUJIN
…
VEE
…
SKYE
…
(Ryujin's stomach starts to grumble.)
RYUJIN
I'm so hungry. Let's stop somewhere to eat.
VEE
You just ate a while ago.
RYUJIN
I burn more calories than you guys…
VEE
What kind of human are you?
MARCH
I do know a good restaurant that serves some delicious hamburger steak. Wanna go and try it out.
RYUJIN
Yup! Let's go.
(They start to walk.)
SKYE
They better have some booze.
(March eyes at Vee suspiciously as they walk to the town.)
VEE
Something wrong with my face, March.
MARCH
No, it's nothing.
(At the restaurant. Ryujin takes in more of the hamburger steak.)
RYUJIN
It's so delicious! I never knew that they serve some good steaks.
MARCH
I was the same as you Ryujin once I had this steak for the 1st time.
RYUJIN
Have some Vee… it's really good.
VEE
Yeah okay. And stop talking with food in your mouth.
SKYE
Waiter! Can I have another booze?
(The waiter brings in some bottles of booze.)
MARCH
That's a lot of alcohol you're taking in Skye.
SKYE
I can hold my liquor very well. Do you wanna drink with me March?
MARCH
Sure.
RYUJIN
Don't give her alcohol.
SKYE
Eh?! Why? Is she a minor?
MARCH
I'm not a minor!
RYUJIN
The reason is… she gets drunk easily after having one shot.
MARCH
No, I don't!
(She pouts.)
(Meanwhile in a mansion a young blonde maiden stares at the sky.)
RISA
I wonder when March will come to tell me stories about her world.
