Blue Demon and His Princess {bl}

Part 14: Hart Harbor

It was the next day, Denis called everyone to the deck for an announcement. There was some confusion among the crowd until Seika stepped up.

Everyone: *shocked. Captain?!?! What are you doing here?! Isn't it the cycle?!?!

Seika: *laughs. Relax guys, I'm fine now.

Everyone: ??

Seika: *takes Asari's hand and smiles gently. Asari and I made a blood pact. *does a half bow. I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you guys! I know it must have been hard working under a captain like me. I hope you'll forgive me.

There was a long silence, then a loud cheer and a thunderous applause.

Everyone: YEAHHH!!!!!!

Seika: ?!

The crew members were all cheering with joy and some were even crying.

Seika: *confused. What? Are they that relieved that they won't be killed by me?

Asari: *laughs. What are you saying?

Denis: We're just happy that you won't be suffering by yourself anymore. It's only that.

Seika: You guys. . . *touched.

Asari: *grins. Smile, Seika. Aren't you happy?

Seika: . . . *looks around, then smiles. Yeah, I am.

They spent the next few days celebrating Seika's release from his curse. Genji decided to grill even more strange foods and Gray was actually awake this time.

Seika: *chuckles. Alright you guys, that's enough celebration. We're reaching land in a few days so I want you guys to get ready.

Everyone: Yes, sir!

Everyone cleaned up and got ready for bed. Seika and Asari were also getting ready.

Seika: *lays on the bed a bit tired. Phew~

Asari: *changes clothes, also gets into bed, stroking Seika's blue hair. Tired?

Seika: *rolls around and hugs Asari, nibbles on his neck. Yeah. . .

Asari: *smiles. After the pact, he seems to have made a habit to nibble on my neck, how cute. . . By the way, at what times do you need to drink blood?

Seika: It doesn't matter so long as I get "some". I really could drink anytime I want when I feel like it, it wouldn't hurt you. Making a pact means that the more blood I drink, the stronger I get.

Asari: What about when it's the full moon but I'm not there?

Seika: I could drink a lot in advance and that could keep me replenished for awhile.

Asari: I see. . . Where are we going after this?

Seika: In a few days we'll reach Hart Harbor, we'll get some more supplies for the ship and us, it's also the time when the members could take some rest on land. I'll show you all the famous tourist spots.

Asari: *excited. Alright.

Like Seika said, they reached land in a few days. Hart Harbor is one of the bigger ports and is famous for their tourist spots and brothels. When they reached the port they saw bustling citizens, merchants, and all kinds of people shopping and enjoying their time.

Asari: *amazed. Wow, this is amazing.

Seika: Yup, it's one of the largest ports in the world~

Denis: Specifically the third.

Gray: *gets down. Captain, I'll go.

Seika: Yup, we're counting on you! I also reserved a room for you at a nearby inn.
