The next day, Matty and Captain Reina were sending me off from the docks. Still dressed as a girl, I said my goodbyes to the two Regalia members.
"You're always welcome to return to the Regalia whenever you want." Hearing Captain Reina say that made me smile, "Thank you Captain."
"Just Reina is fine for you." She placed a hand against my hat to pat it. "We'll meet again someday."
"Yes!" After answering Reina, I focused my gaze over to Matty. She was wearing a frown on her face.
"Till." Reina urged Matty, who bit her lip in return. Slowly, Matty lowered her height to hold out her arms. As if she was asking for a hug, but not out loud.
A small sad smile formed as I walked over to return Matty's hug. She hugged me tight and said, "Remember what I've taught you."
"Yes." Releasing the hug, Matty got up to pat my head.
As I watched the two sky pirates head back to the ship, a man that was walking by with a flyer had their mouth open once he spotted Matty and Reina leaving.
"Ahh! The Regalia's here again!"
"What?! The Regalia!"
"Those blasted pirates!"
