Joe leaned on the stair railing while facing Marvelous.
Joe: "It's better that we go to the party, rather than Luka sneaks out and go alone. Then, no one will know what happen between them.
Marvelous still in silence.
Joe: You worried, aren't you? You worried if Luka decided to go with Cain and leaves us for good.
Marvelous astounded. Looks like Joe managed to read his mind. "Yeah, what if that happen?"
Joe: Remember last time Cain came but Luka decided to stay with us. So, what makes you think that she will go with him this time?
Marvelous: Now that Cain has made her dream come true to build a planet for orphan across universe and he is a trillionaire, nothing can stop her from leaving.
Joe: Well, you have the greatest treasure in your possession. That should be enough.
Marvelous: Yeah right. Like these rangers key can buy her a planet. Marvelous sounds sarcastic and disbelief
Joe: I'm not talking about these rangers key, you idiot. Joe smack Marvelous's shoulder, making him coughing out of sudden. I'm talking about the greatest treasure that everyone is hoping to find in life.
Marvelous: What?. He asked with full anticipation.
Joe: It's about time... You tell Luka your feeling. Perhaps, that will hurt your pride but it surely will make her stay.
Marvelous: Wwwhatt feeling? I'm... not in love with her. I j-just don't want Luka to leave us. It won't be the same if I lose one of my dear comrades. Everyone wil get affected and I'm a captain. So, it's logical anyway...
Marvelous stuttered and turns his face away from Joe, refuse to get mind reading from his first mate. He rapidly find excuses in his mind for next counter attack of questions.
Joe exhales heavily. Then, he gives that little teasing smile towards Marvelous. "Who said anything about love anyway?"
Marvelous blushed. He is speechless.
Coming from the kitchen, Gai and Doc are whispering to each other. They don't want their captain to hear what they are going to say. If not, they will receive a backhead smack from their captain.
Gai: Ano, I wonder when will Marvelous-san will admit his feeling to Luka-san?
Doc: It just the matter of time. Let's hope they'll make it before it is too late.
Gai: I hope so. Marvelous and Luka complete each other anyway. Perhaps, they don't notice how good they are when they are together. Hakase-san... one day, I hope we will find the one too. Perhaps, I shall introduce you to a beautiful earthling.
Doc: Yeah...yeah, what is love anyway. Gai, hand me the plate. Doc is busy preparing foods for their for their comrades, he doesn't even have time to think about his personal life as he is busy taking care of his shipmates like a great dad.
At Crow Nest,
Ahim: Luka-san, are you okay? Ahim hugs Luka shoulders from the back, try to comfort her sisterly comrade.
Luka: Ahim... Luka tries to carved some smile, but her emotion shown. Yeah, I'm doing fine.
Ahim: I know how bad you want to go to the party, just to see your dream finally come true.
Luka: Guess, I can't lie to you. Yeah, of course I do. I want to see how beautiful planet Milcain is, and most importantly finally I can see my late sister's final wish come true.
Ahim: Never mind, Luka-san. Joe-san and I will try to talk this matter with Marvelous-san. Who knows he might change his mind. Ahim try to be hopeful.
Luka: It's okay, Ahim. Marvelous has his reasons. We just have to believe what he has decided. He knows better. He's our captain anyways. Later on, if I decided to go to the party... I'll try talk to him myself and go on my own.
Ahim: Luka-san... I think he was trying to protect you...
Luka: Well, obviously... He wants to protect all of us.
Ahim: No, I mean he really... really wants to protect you in special ways
Luka: Special ways? I don't understand, Ahim. I'm not a child, I can take care of myself. I bet Marvelous knows about this.
Ahim: No, what I'm mean is... I think he have some feeli... Ahim didn't finish her line as she got interrupted by Gai.
Gai: Minna-san... Dinner is ready! Come, join us here.
Luka: Come, Ahim. I'm hungry.
Ahim: Luka-san, I'm not finish yet..
Luka pulls Ahim's arm and walks down the stair. " That can wait". She tries to run from the topic.
Ahim: Luka-san...
Marvelous and Luka have the same sense of appreciation when it comes to good food and when they don't have to cook.
