...
When Rein emerged from the sea, dragging the enormous corpse of the plesiosaur, Bask was utterly stunned.
"Rein, you... you succeeded so soon?"
"Or is this..." Bask turned his head to look at Master Ganther.
Master Ganther understood Bask's meaning; Bask was asking if it was he who had helped Rein kill the near-shore plesiosaur.
Master Ganther shook his head and said, "It was Rein who killed it alone! Bask, don't just stand there, the blood of the plesiosaur will attract many other ferocious sea beasts, hurry back!"
"Alright! Master!"
Although Bask agreed outright, his expression still betrayed his surprise as he bound the corpse of the plesiosaur to the rear side of the boat and began to row rapidly.
Yet as he rowed, Bask's gaze kept alternating between the huge plesiosaur corpse bobbing in the water and the calm-faced Rein on the boat, and his heart was filled with inexplicable shock!
