In truth something has been going on sense this morning. The Marines for some reason are being extra nosey today. They are asking too many questions. I clearly wasn't hiding this well enough. Was it that noticeable? I was just carrying around a notebook with me. Did it stand out that much? It wasn't bright colors or anything. At this rate they will know what is going on. Maybe I should have just left it in my room? No...one of them would have tried to read it if I left in there. I was trying...to think up a proper proposal. But...it wasn't going well. Putting my words to paper was much harder than I thought it would be. She said it wasn't necessary. But I wanted to do this right. I asked her in an odd way, and it didn't sit right with me.

Each time I thought of something I wrote it down. But after reading it back to myself I didn't like it. I would quickly cross it out. "Ugh...why is this so hard? it really shouldn't be..." I mumbled to myself. I had found a hiding spot in the cargo hold trying not to be found by any of the marines. They been popping up everywhere I when today. In truth it was worrisome. I know without a doubt if I take too long with this...they will find out what is going on. I don't want any of the Nemo series to know. If they do, they will try to 'help.' I really don't want that...for some reason I can see them ruining the whole thing.

I sighed heavy closing the notebook and setting it beside me. "..." in truth I was still very happy she said yes. I couldn't hide that fact. I'm sure the marines also noticed my mood change. It had been two days ago, but I still felt a bubble of happiness inside of me. She had been so honest with me than. "Master...~" I really want to see her now. I really...do think about her too much lately. I couldn't help myself. My wish...it wouldn't be long before it comes true. Soon she will be my...I felt my face heat up and pressed my face against my knees. It wouldn't be long... away now.

"Captain?" I really hope I was hearing things. I slowly looked up to see a marine standing there, "Ah!" I quickly took hold of the notebook and back away from him. What the hell did he find me?! "What are you doing in the cargo hold, Captain?"

"M-Me? why are you here?!" How the hell did he find me?! There is no way...there just no way he should have found me! "Huh? Baker sent me here to find something in the Cargo hold." ugh...why is it always her? I feel like she's always plotting against me. First the ring, then the chocolate now this. If she isn't...I would be surprised. "So why are you here, Captain?"

"That's-That's none of your business! Get back to work!" I quickly fled the Cargo hold. "Suspicious...~" the marine smiled hearing baker voice through their mind connect, "So what was he doing? ~"

"I'm not sure...captain had a dreamy look on his face when I found him."

"Most likely thinking about Master~" It wasn't hidden how Captain had been acting. The Nemo Series as a whole knew. "What about the notebook? ~"

"He grabbed it as soon as he heard me."

"Shoot. you will have to be sneaky next time~"

"I wasn't being sneaky?" The marines still didn't know what sneaky meant. "Nope. Guess we will try again later~" Hmm...could you make yourself look any more Suspicious if you tried captain? hiding in the cargo hold writing stuff in that notebook? Clearly it was something important. He wouldn't go this far to hide and do that if it wasn't. "I wonder...if Master could have answered Captain very bad proposal...? ~"

"Huh? You think that's why captain mood changed so much?"

"Could be~ I mean...that would make him super happy after all~"

"B-But if that true...that would mean!" It would have explained Master reaction too... "Master did look embarrassed earlier too..."

"That must be it~"

"But...that doesn't tell us what...the notebook is for."

"Hmm~ I guess all we can do is more spy work~" Without a doubt whatever it was for...was important. Captain had been trying to write something but from what the marines saw he wasn't happy with what he wrote each time. But clearly this was super important to Captain. More Research was needed~ "This time for sure, I will be sneaky!"

"Right..."

The marines did not learn what sneaky meant that day...
