In front of quarter decks railing, Tiana overseeing the game of run and catch, her pretty face shone under gentle sunlight, from her back, Daigin approached slowly, his serious face betrayed his intention as his heart beating faster feeling nervous.

  Noticing Daigin stood beside her, Tiana smiled, stunning Daigin as he couldn't extricate himself from her pretty face,

  Daigin stood around 210cm while Tiana was 180cm making her a head shorter, Rattling his head, Daigin cleared his throat and attempting to have a chat,

  "cough*, well, our course is steady, the weather is good, in a few hours we'll approaching Kuen Isnd."

  Tiana hummed, her twinkling voice seems melted Daigin heart.

  "How do you do?" Asked Daigin awkwardly.

  Tiana supress her ughter as she noticed Daigin awkward attempt to start conversation.

  She narrowed her eyes as he turned her head around pyfully. "I'm fine thank you, and you?"

  Daigin was stumped, the big and serious man like him had lost his ability to speak in front of girl he fancied!

  Tiana and Daigin were among Kimimaro first inital crews he gathered on board, they had long been know each other, while Tiana showing her affection toward Kimimaro openly without care, Daigin hope that Tiana could find happiness with Kimimaro, as, his heart was still fickle, he also silently pray that Kimimaro won't accept her, despite such action could broke Tiana's heart.

  Daigin had Tiana in his eyes ever since their first meeting, he was cold and serious man and Tiana was cheerful woman with bubbly personality in contrast of Daigin demeanor, making him felt attracted towards the ter.

  Seeing Daigin difficulty to construct words, Tiana let out a giggle, "By the way, thank you for your souvenir, it is pretty."

  Daigin tried to smile which he obviously couldn't used to it, his smile looks like a grimace. However, Tiana felt that Daigin was little cute.

  "How is it? do you like it?" Daigin soon rexed, he tried to not shown such obvious reaction.

  Tiana hummed, "Uh-huh, those pearl looks so beautiful, thank you. How much is it?"

  Daigin once again stammered, if he revealed the true price for pearl neckce he bought from Flevance, Tiana would undoubtedly try to pay him back, he doesn't want that! Daigin was sincere.

  "Euh, well, it was cheap only 300 bellies. I'm sorry i didn't get the expensive ones." Daigin scratched his head awkwardly.

  Tiana gnce at the big man besides him, she knew that Daigin was lying as it seems the ter forgot that the pearl neckce still has price tag slipped inside the box.

  300? More like 300 thousands. Tiana thought, However, she felt warm due to Daigin concerns and care. She nodded with a smile.

  Soon both of them kept quiet as they enjoyed each other companionship along with miserable cries coming from those marines who gotten caught by Enel.

  The unfortunate crews need to swim behind the warship and catch up with them for punishment, prompting twinkling ughter coming from Tiana's seductive lips.

  Meanwhile,

  Rome was quite nervous as he looked carefully toward Kimimaro who leisurely sitting ln his Captain seat, the tter had been reading thick book since he had entered.

  Rome was feeling lost, he saw the book title was "Scarcity Value, Author: Clover" which dispyed how serious the book content was, however, under Rome dumbfounded look, Kimimaro seems giggling and letting out small ughter here and there!

  Is the book really funny? Thought Rome, It doesn't looks so, however he kept silents and waiting.

  Kimimaro didn't let Rome waiting too long, finishing his page, he closed the book and threw it nonchantly on the desk.

  Rome could see a small other book with fancy color peeking out a little from between the thick book's page!

  Noticing the same, Kimimaro cleared his throat and tidy up the book, subtly hiding it from Rome's weird gaze.

  "Uhm, well Rome, do you know the reason i called you here?" Asked kimimaro calmly.

  Rome shook his head, Kimimaro stood up and went around to sit on the sofa, Rome followed.

  "Sit." Said Kimimaro as he poured a warm milk for him to enjoy.

  Rome sit opposite Kimimaro, he had tons of questions lingering inside his mind.

  "Cough*, well, Rome, I notice that you have a particurly sharp hearing. Did you notice anything weird all this time?"

  Rome tilted his head, as if he tried to understand Kimimaro's point.
