[Sea adventures log 3: the second month]
It's been 2 months and 2 weeks after our sea journey began, we finally integrated our arachnid friends successfully as our new crewmates, at first there were some hiccups from some girls who tried to see how far they could go before punishment was dolled out, but overall those girls have really good manners, as long as they are fed that is, but with the ever increasing number of monsters friends compared to humans, our next order of business is recruiting more human sailors, so, onwards to Port Natalia!
As Roman closed his book Lime and Princess came around demanding his attention for something really important
"Roman, roman~" "Roman dearest~"
"Yes this is Roman, what's up?"
"We need a referee for our latest competition~"
"Again? Please try not to break the mast of the boat in half this time"
"Puru~ last time it was a mistake, and princess used her silk to mend it so it's all well~"
"Cervantes would say otherwise, I'm sure each time we do our dose of mischief i see that man's hairs becoming even whiter"
"Maybe it's time to relieve him from his duties then my Lord"
"And losing the one sane man in this group of lunatics? Never! I'll didn't even craft him a paper fan to improve his reactions when we do funny things yet!"
"Puru, I don't understand why he needs a paper fan that but sure~"
"Sometimes this Hime wonders what goes through your head Roman dearest"
"Pianos!"
"What?!"
"I want to play a piano, we need to buy one when we dock at Natalia"
"Why exactly a piano, Roman dearest?"
"WHY? So i can play our main theme announcing our presence when it's time to make new friends of course"
"Puru the jiggly pirates will have a main theme yaayyy~"
"But the acoustics are not good inside a ship... Why not write something and ask the Sirens to sing it?"
"Because that's not fun, also the songs i have in my mind would play better through a string instrument than by voice... Hmm but hearing acapella from the Sirens would feel nice... Okay I'll blast my enemies away with my sick piano moves while the Sirens intensify it with their voices, time to improve the brass phone"
"Puru~ but before that your captain wife and second wife demands you to act as our referee~"
Suffice to say that on that afternoon Cervantes cursed to the heavens once again as the ship's mast was destroyed.
"It's a draw once again"
"Puru... I was sure i would win this time..."
"Fufu this Hime won't ever let her guard down around you captain"
One week later
"Here it is, port Natalia, apooooooort!"
"Hai hai!"
"Phew, finally I'll stretch my legs out, time to fill my face with booze hahahaha" "To the mermaid pub your rapscallions!" "But didn't we had lots of mermaids playing with us all this time already" "Son you wouldn't understand"
With conversations like these happening, the ship that had seen better days crashes across one of the many piers of pot Natalia, scaring the populace before they calmed down and noticed it was just the Jiggly pirates.
"Well that could've been done better, still points for trying Lime"
"Puru~ one day I will park the ship without crashing it!"
"No time like the present, let's restock, find someone to repair our ship, buy a piano and recruit new members"
"Hai hai~"
The presence of the Jiggly pirates and the loads of cash they had from all the treasure they discovered was a boon for port Natalia business after the attacks of IliasKreuz, they also acted as deterrents for the zealotic terrorists, after all pirates had no sense of morals, and with the amount of new members they got people would think twice about crossing them, or so the common people thought, in reality the pirates were pacifists, unless they decided you would be a new friend.
"Hmm these humans look weak, fufu I missed the gazes of terror upon me" Hime and the spiders loved the attention they were getting, their current attires being a mix of traditional clothing with pirate trinkets made them look even more menacing.
(As long as they just enjoy the scared and sighs perverted... stares and don't kill anyone)
"Roman look, that mermaid is selling some funny looking dishes, let's eat, let's eat~" Lime began pulling the man towards a stall that gave an evil aura
(Oh god, not the mermaid with the CENSORED that made even Alice refuse food that one time)
"Ermm Lime, it's better we don't, those fishes look poisonous, really poisonous, you really don't want me to eat bad food and go ill now do you?" Roman pleaded
"Puru, of course not, sorry Roman" Lime's mood took a hit
"It's no biggie Lime, you just didn't know better that's all" Roman patted the girl and brought her spirits up again
(and i live to see another day)
"So Citizen A, tells us again how the Jiggly pirates conquered the seas and recruited the spiders"
"For the last time girlie my name is Cervantes!" hic "Anyways"
The mermaid pub, one of the biggest information hubs of Sentora, thanks to all the booze, good food and nice women loosening the lips of the crewmates who kept retelling the exploits of their beloved leaders making each new retelling more fantastical than the last time, soon enough the fame of the Jiggly pirates would reach the the ears of the big shots both from the human and monster sides of the world.
"And this is why these last weeks the ship's mast always gets broken in half, please have mercy on meeee hic" Cervantes began crying while being comforted by his assigned hostess
"There there, Cervantes had it hard didn't he, having to rein in his crazed bosses being the one sane man, how about nee-san here make you forget all your problems for today~"
"Neeee-san hic"
Roman and Lime would later find their friend and a bunch of sailors turned into a little boys being pampered by very horny mermaids, lots of befriending would soon follow to turn the men back into adults
"Guess what Lime, let's go back and buy the things that mermaid was selling" Roman had a malicious idea after going around and shopping with Lime all the things they needed currently.
"Puru, why the sudden change Roman? Didn't you say they looked bad?"
"Well... considering how nasty those things are, imagine using one of those against future friends who are too hard for us to beat?" (MGQ isn't ready for biological warfare, it will be my ace!)
"Woao that's mean Roman, i expected more of you" Lime crossed her arms and gave him a disappointed look
"Ohhh my adorable Lime, we both know you also think it will be a good prank"
"Puru~"
As the pair finished everything they set off to do, their last objective in this town was stocking lots of the food that mermaid of Port Natalia was selling, for safety measures they would need to quarantine it so no one would ever try to take a bite and die.
(If Ilias ever looked at this city for one second she would never need to use Black Alice to regulate all that dark energy and thank god she didn't)
"Welcome friends, are you interested in buying some snacks?" the happy mermaid offered her food and began explaining what those things were supposed to be
"Y-yeah... " "Puru..." the couple had no words for how wrong the description of the food was compared to the real thing
"Here you go~ try a sample~"
The things served to the duo did not sit on the plate so much as squat malevolently, hating all and being hated by all, reality itself tried its best to erase such a mistake threatening to corrupt it further but was failing miserably
(Is this the true form of chaos i wonder) Roman couldn't stop gazing at the crime against culinary, he felt his sanity depleting fast, but the affront to existence was too mesmerizing
(that thing is scary!) Lime didn't fare better, seeing IT up close was too much, and to think she wanted to eat this earlier.
"We... won't be eating it right now... Could you please sell us everything for take out?" using the last shreds of sanity he had, Roman focused on the mermaid instead, pleading for mercy.
"Of course friends, thank you very much, i thought i would never get to sell them sniff"
The mermaid was overjoyed with her first clients in ever, she finally would get herself ridden of these failed recipes, maybe being a cook wasn't her life's call at all, finally Roman and Lime took a deep breath as the crimes to everything that lives got covered up with the packaging.
All around the world many unrelated parties felt shivers down their spines, for something nasty would be forced down their stomachs in the future thanks to the evil machinations of a insane man and a mischief loving slime on this day.
Erubetie felt shivers all over, her many personalities screamed of untold danger and that a poison that could affect even her was unleashed upon the world, Undine giggled at the over reaction of her friend.
Black Alice laughed maniacally welcoming the challenge.
Ilias finally was alarmed of the interlopers presence, but dismissed it since the plan with Luka was more important.
Luka felt as if he would die in a very unpleasant way and Alice's stomach grumbled.
Days later
"Isn't it beautiful Lime" Roman was proud of his handiwork, together with the blacksmiths and shipbuilders following his instructions to adapt modern era machicolations into their ship, the ship reformations made it double in size, now they could comfortably fit in all the monsters they had, the old and new sailors and about a dozen more of future friends inside the ship before having to rebuild it again to increase space.
"Hmm~ will you play something on that monster of a organ now Roman?" Lime referred to the thing that almost took the entire captains cabin, Roman wanted a Pirates of the Caribbean Davy Jones feel to it and the craftsmen delivered far more than what he asked for
(That's too much!)
"Yeah! call the sirens and the mermaids, we need to introduce this beautiful girl to them" Roman wanted to try it, his fingers were itching for it
"Attention sirens and mermaids, please come to the cap'n cabin, Roman wants to play song together~" Lime announced before sitting at the chair together with Roman
Roman slowly began playing and humming a song from home, Lime soon followed humming together with him
"Fufufu, this Hime is impressed, my lord Roman is a man of the arts and, I thought you were joking when you said you wanted a instrument, fufu this Hime also likes the decor, it's somber just like home" Spider Princess was the first to come and complimented how changed the captain's cabin became, it looked like a final boss room now.
"Ara~ would you look at that, the first mate can pull his weight with his music, you'll end up conquering all the girls outside~" the chirping sirens came around and sang together with the mermaids following soon after.
"Didn't i tell you it would be nice to have an instrument Lime?"
"Puru~ i can't wait for our main theme~"
"Me too... Lime"
Roman began playing the main theme of Monster Girl Quest, because in all honesty it really fits as some intro to a grand and silly adventure, earning giggles from the girl.
"Let's visit Undine's spring to officialize our relationship Lime"
"Puru~ let's!"
"You heard our leaders you sea barnacles, let's goooo!" the crew took their positions and began moving the ship away from Port Natalia, next stop Grand Noah and Undine's spring
Roman began playing the theme of the slime girls mountain from paradox while everyone else moved out.
(I wonder if Levia exists in this world, it would be nice recruiting that queen class sea serpent, once we get famous enough it will be time to build the Navy).
