Aggressive As F*ck
After they were far enough from the other Saviors that all of them wouldn't hear whatever they would say, Jake and Blake stopped walking, but the two of them could still see Aksel and the others, and so did they. Jake then immediately asked Blake about what he wanted to talk to him.
"What's the matter?" Jake asked casually.
"I apologize for what I've said to you earlier this morning, I realize those words were too harsh, I was too rude towards you, I'm sorry for that," Blake replied just shortly after, he didn't show any specific expression when he apologized to Jake, he just acted like how he usually acted, with his usual facial expression, eyes look, and body language, but he looked directly to both of Jake's eyes when he apologized to him.
Jake was silent for a while after Blake apologized to him and didn't show any specific expression either, he looked the same as he was before Blake apologized, and he made unexpected quite-long eye contact with Blake during their silence after Blake apologized.
"Just it?" Jake made sure after a while, his expression changed a little bit by showing slight confusion.
"Yes," Blake responded afterwards.
"Oh, I thought you would tell me about what you saw when you ran the little mission I gave you, Rosemarie, and Curt," Jake said transparently while scratching the back of his head for a second, it wasn't itchy though.
"I can't explain it to you, you have to see it by yourself, I don't want to get any question from you after I explain it to you because I also totally have no idea about that," Blake told Jake, he still hadn't made any change on his facial expression.
"I won't ask you anything after you explain it to me, that's a fair deal, isn't it?" Jake still tried to make the boy give up.
"No," Blake answered briefly.
Jake then sighed. "Alright, I'm just gonna ask Curt or Rosemarie then, you have nothing more to say to me, right?" he spoke to Blake afterwards.
"There is one more thing, I don't want to call you 'captain' anymore, I couldn't, and can't really do it," Blake replied to him immediately after.
Jake frowned after he heard that. "What do you want to call me then?" He asked this to Blake just shortly after he heard Blake's words, obviously.
"You have a name," Blake quickly responded.
Jake was actually quite surprised to hear that because he didn't expect that Blake wanted to call him by just his name, but on the other hand, he also wanted all the teens to have the freedom to express anything they want, so he couldn't get any further on this surprising thing.
"Well, it's up to you, I don't mind," Jake said a moment later, it was quite a lie since he actually did mind that just a moment before.
Blake didn't give any specific response afterwards, he didn't even say anything towards Jake's response that allowed him to just call the Captain by his name.
"But I'm sorry if I can't be the perfect Captain and if my actions didn't satisfy you, it's okay if you expressed them though, I don't mind at all," Jake continued after quite a while, he also smiled sincerely when he said that.
"This is not because of your actions, I just can't really call you 'captain' since the start, don't mind that, besides, you don't need to try to be perfect because nobody's perfect, just keep doing the best you can, even though I can't lie that most of your actions didn't satisfy me at all, I also don't understand about them and what actually was going on your mind when you did those things, but I'll try to believe that you were and are just trying to do the best you can," Blake told Jake afterwards, they were also sincere words just like Jake's.
Realizing that those were said sincerely, Jake then smiled, this was so unexpected to him, because at first, he thought Blake would forget about what was going on between the two of them this morning just like that, he even had the thought that the boy would just pretend that it never happened, but turned out Blake apologized to him and aware of his mistakes.
"That's more than enough though, thank you," Jake said to Blake afterwards with the same smile that hadn't faded yet, while Blake didn't give any change towards his expression since more than 5 minutes ago.

"It's all done, judging by how this plant works so far, I think your wound will be gone in less than an hour," Chandler spoke to Rosemarie after he was done treating her wound. His words were of course shocked everyone, they also immediately turned their respective heads towards both Chandler and Rosemarie.
"L-less than an hour?" Rosemarie made sure to Chandler.
"Yeah, amazingly and surprisingly," Chandler replied while smiling.
"Bruh, that is so quick, it means we'll still be safe even if Chandler hasn't gotten his mana points again soon, right? Wow, that is absolutely unbelievable," Curt said while looking at Rosemarie's wound that was still covered with the medicinal plant.
"Yeah, but probably not as safe as if Chandler always has his mana points. Plus, Chandler's skill is very useful and helpful, it has saved us from death, while we still don't know whether or not these medicinal plants can save us from that kind of thing," Cheryl responded to Curt's word a moment later, she was also still looking at Rosemarie's wound.
"Yes, about such a thing, these plants are obviously not on the same level as Chandler's skill, but at least they're still helpful though, and I actually didn't expect that they have this kind of speed in regenerating wounds, it's so amazing and unbelievable," Aksel told Cheryl just shortly after, he looked at her while talking to her.
"I know right?! I didn't know the Earth actually has these kinds of plants, they're so amazing! Where did you guys actually find these medicinal plants? I want some," Curt said to everyone near him afterwards. He looked so enthusiastic about these medicinal plants, they amazed him even when he hadn't seen they were being used. Curt also turned his eyes from Rosemarie's wound to Shawn, Cheryl, Aksel, and Chandler's faces when he for the second time asked them about the place they found those plants.
"Well, the place we got these plants is actually quite from here-"
"Dude, I don't mind! Just tell me!" Curt immediately interrupted Shawn who still hadn't finished his words yet with the same enthusiasm.
"Curtis, we don't have any more time to go to that place, besides, what's the use of you keeping these plants? Don't do more unnecessary things like putting my spaceship suit above a big tree, please. I am now in a very good mood, you know, if I'm not, I would definitely destroy you into the smallest pieces, you know!" Cheryl spoke to Curtis, and by the end of her words, her tone went high as she also went mad a little bit towards Curt because she thought about her spaceship suit again.
After hearing what Cheryl had just said, Curt immediately swallowed his saliva and looked scared a little, but he still chuckled afterwards. "I-I'm sorry for that," he replied to Cheryl.
"Hmph!" Cheryl then harrumphed because she was annoyed with Curt.
"But is the place that far though?" Curt immediately changed the topic of the conversation, he wouldn't dare to keep talking about Cheryl's spaceship suit, however.
"Yeah, quite far actually," Shawn answered very nicely, it looked like he didn't want to get involved in his sister's problem with Curtis and absolutely didn't mind it.
"Yeah, we even talked about some things while walking over to that place, and you know what, Curt-"
"What? What?" Curt interrupted Aksel who was being silent immediately after Curt interrupted him, Aksel looked so enthusiastic when he said his last words so Curt was so interested in what he was gonna say.
"Shawn had done harem! He dated twenty girls at the same time back then and all the girls knew it and they were fine with it!" Aksel continued enthusiastically because he knew it would be a very interesting and shocking thing for Curt since Curt loved this kind of thing.
"Man, what the fu*k?! Twenty?! Goddamn!" Curt exclaimed as he turned his head towards Shawn. Curtis's facial expression explained very well how shocked he was about the fact that Shawn dated 20 girlfriends at the same time back then, there was also amazement on his face because of the same reason.
"Hehehehe," Shawn could only chuckle shyly while scratching the back of his head.
"Damn, Shawn, I can't even imagine how big your balls and sausage would be," Curt said to Shawn still with the same amazement, but he wasn't shocked anymore.
"Why would you imagine it though?! What the hell?!" Cheryl immediately replied to Curt.
"B-balls …? S-sausage …? What are you guys ta-talking about?" Rosemarie unexpectedly joined the conversation shyly, she also looked doubtful if that was the right question to ask because she was actually kinda suspect that they talked about something sexual, but she just wasn't 100% sure about it so she asked it.
"Dick and testicles," Jade answered Rosemarie's question casually and transparently, she just got back after doing the quest her system gave her.
"Aa-ah, wh-what …?" Rosemarie screamed a little because she was shocked to hear Jade's answer, she also became shyer afterwards and ended up turning her head away from everyone because her face immediately became red after she heard Jade's transparent and honest answer.
"Damn, lady, you're aggressive as f*ck," Curt told Jade several seconds later, he and everyone else was also shocked because of Jade's answer.
'Did she throw away my rose?' Chandler thought as he realized that Jade was no longer holding the rose he gave her, the rose wasn't seen on her either, this, of course, made him sad since it was a special thing for him, but he decided not to ask Jade about the rose's whereabouts.
