Aldred leaned on his chair on the front deck with the morning sun above him.
"Dear, say aaa," Mary said.
"Aaa." Aldred opened his mouth as Mary fed him a sliced sea fruit.
He had been eating the fruits since yesterday, hoping for something to happen. Maybe he could get another teleportation point.
The sea fruit was sweet in his mouth and made him feel happy. It didn't give him any new ability or point but he liked that it brought joy into his life.
Mary smiled at Aldred. She put a slice of fruit to her lips and closed her eyes, enjoying each bite.
"So where are we going now?" Mary asked before feeding him another fruit.
Aldred chewed and swallowed. He summoned his astrolabe, and the arrow still pointed to the east. "We're still going east."
He frowned.
Mary noticed that and asked: "Is there any problem?"
"Well, usually we have to pass through a bunch of hurdles to reach the destination."
"Didn't we face pirates and sea monsters on our way here?"
