Young God↬ Teen Sinbad [1]

Young God, Chapter Three

As promised by Sinbad, I steered the ship. I loved it up here, I can see everything. Even Ja'far and Sinbad being constantly scolded by Hinahoho's wife, Rurumu who was teaching them manners and basic skills. It was funny seeing Ja'far have mental breakdowns every five minutes. I would be down there but we have separate lessons due to the fact I need to be trained to be elegant and all that other sophisticated stuff. I love having Rurumu onboard, I wasn't the only girl which was refreshing and what also is refreshing is the fact that she doesn't smell like the boys.

I watched Ja'far write and I couldn't help but smile as I saw how happy he was. It warmed my heart to see him like that, so happy and full of life. I owe it all to Sinbad and his friend.

We finally docked at the Reim empire, people gathered in awe at our ship. I followed everyone else down to the ground as we began to find a place to set up shop.

We finally found one and set up all our goods, we waited as Sinbad yelled out to advertise our products.

People began rallying up to look at the goods, my eyes caught the sight of Sinbad flirting with a girl and I rolled my eyes, men.

Girls crowded around him and I couldn't help but feel sorry for them, where is their dignity?

I walked over next to Hinahoho, "he's ridiculous" I commented and he nodded in agreement. I walked over to the crowd, "okay that's enough you desperate no goods" I growled as I grabbed Sinbad by his sleeve and pulled him out of there. He smiled like an idiot and I couldn't help but narrow my eyes at him.

"Wipe that stupid smile off your face!" I scolded as the group of girls dispersed from my intervene. "What? Jealous?" He wiggled is eyebrows and I scrunched up my nose.

"No, I'm saving you from getting a disease that one of those girls probably have. You're welcome" I let go of him.

"I never said thank you in the first place" he remarked. "You just did, genius" I pointed out with a smug smirk.

He's shook his head with a playful smirk back, about to say something when two Reim guards walked up to our setup.

"You aren't permitted to set up shop here" the one in front of me said, I put my hands at the sides of my hips about to counter his statement but Sinbad beat me to it, except he kept a civilized persona.

"Sorry about that sir, we'll begin the appropriate procedure right away. Where do we go?" He asked. The guards looked baffled by his answer, "You're saying you don't know anything about selling in Reim?"

The short and stubby guy let out an exasperated sigh. "All commercial transactions have to go through the Reim Merchant Union which manages and controls everything" he explained with a bored expression but continued to talk, "Only those companies approved by the union are allowed to do business here."

Then the tall man spoke again, "If there are no more questions, leave, and that goes for all of you too!" He gestured out to the common folk who let out gasps and quickly dispersed along with the guards.

I let out a sigh and look to Sinbad, "What are we going to do?"

He looked to me and smiled, "Get approved by the Merchant Union, obviously."

I rolled my eyes playfully but kept a serious face. "Yeah but it can't be something simple, it must cost a lot or have a catch. Something" I told him and he nodded in understanding.

"Who is the proprietor here?" A mysterious man in a blue cloak, Sinbad and I made our way towards him.

"That'd be me, is there a problem?" He pondered and stopped in front of the man as I stopped beside him.
