Chapter-48
—----------------
After the meal…
"Was the food to your liking, Youngsters?" The middle-aged lady asked this in a kind voice as she came to the dining table
"It was very delicious," Robin said in a sweet tone as she cleaned her mouth with a handkerchief
Meanwhile, Yoriichi and Ember both agreed to Robin's statement making the middle lady happy
"Really? I am glad to know it" The middle gas lady said this with relief in her tone since she was worried that Yoriichi and Robin wouldn't like her cooking
Since they are from outside of this land she thought that their taste might be different than the taste of the food she cooks but she seems to worry about nothing
Not to mention she likes both of them very much like her children especially when she doesn't have the blessing of having her own children
After that, this lady offered them some dessert, even though Robin wanted to stop her since she already is very full as she felt that if she ate anything then her stomach would explode
But before Robin stopped her, the middle-aged lady had already gone back into the kitchen and even started to prepare the dessert for them which she had in her mind
Robin looked at this with helplessness clearly written on her face as she looked to her side or to be more precise towards Yoriichi because he had eaten way more than her, so she thought his condition must be more worse than her own
But to her surprise, Yoriichi was totally fine in fact he looked like he could easily eat more food very easily which made her wonder where all the food he ate had gone
Meanwhile, Ember's condition is pretty bad compared to Robin, because she lying on the table defeated while her stomach looks like some balloon
Seeing this, Robin couldn't help but want to touch her since she found Ember right now really cute than usual
...
After the middle lady finished making the dessert, she brought it and served all of them what she made including Ember being no exceptional
Right after they started to talk about the world outside of this island since the lady was also curious about this like the rest of the people on this island
Robin as usual answers all of her questions patiently even though indeed asked these people yesterday that if these people want to get out of this island then they can help them
They can only come to this island due to Yoriichi's unique ability to control the sea kings and that's the reason both Robin as well as Yoriichi feel Guilty for giving them false hope
Because of them now they think that exiting this island is possible which is nothing but an empty hope because they only came here due to Yoriichi's unique ability
But they can't able to tell this to these people since Robin does not want to expose Yoriichi's unique ability which she thinks will attract unwanted attention as well as Yoriichi doesn't speak at all because seeing such pur smiles on their faces, he has no heart to break their hopes
So instead Robin makes up some excuses saying that it was all due to the luck that they managed to come to this island safely meanwhile Yoriichi stays silent since lying is something that he can't do
Even though on the surface people believe those excuses some people know that these are all lies since there is no way luck is the only thing that brought them safely here but none of them forced Robin nor Yoriichi to tell the truth or maybe these people know that they won't tell the truth
But right now people on this land immediately refused their proposal because they considered this as their home
Not to mention most people on this island already passed tried prime age meanwhile others are children who are too young to travel
Robin couldn't help but feel bad for these people because lived their life in a cage since she could relate to them
Because she also lived her childhood on that island and since most of the people on that island are scholars, so they prefer to study rather than adventure
Fortunately, unlike her home which got destroyed by the world government just because of some baseless reasons, this island can't destroyed
That fact that this island is surrounded by many dangerous sea monsters and fog as well as other dangerous natural sea disasters
....
After 3 hours…
Finally, after 3 more hours, they were ready to departure Not only that but all the people came to see their departure even though people were very worried as well as sad about their departure
Worried because even about them exiting this island safely since even though they entered this island without any scratch
And sad due to their departure since they are the first people who managed to come to this island safely, so naturally they would be sad knowing that they are going back especially when they still have a lot of questions regarding the outside world
But none of them could have stopped especially with the determination they have, Robin, wants to explore the world and find out about this world's history and for Yoriichi it's his master mission that he needs to fulfil which can't delay especially when Rayleigh did so much for him and his friends
This is why they need to get out of this place and go towards their next destination and since their objective for coming to this island is already completed
So now they don't have any other reasons to stay here and that's why it's time for departure
After getting everything that they would need for their journey on the ship, Yoriichi finally sailed the ship as the ship started to move
