After a while.
The sky had darkened into a deep, velvety blue, but the deck of the new ship was brightly lit by softly glowing mana crystals.
"Young master?" Liana asked Javier, who was focused on pulling in a fishing line while mumbling, "I got you~"
Javier hauled in a huge, silvery fish, which Buddy promptly snatched and placed neatly on the growing pile on the deck.
"Hmm?" Javier turned and looked at Liana. "Yes?"
"Tonight the sky is clear, and the stars are beautiful. I was hoping we could enjoy the night sky… perhaps slow the ship down a little so we can truly enjoy the cruise?"
"Oh? Sure, Liana~ Anything for you. I didn't know you liked this sort of thing." Javier tapped his mana watch and adjusted the ship's speed to a gentle, leisurely pace.
"Thank you, young master." Liana smiled and kissed his cheek.
Javier grinned happily, then turned back to unhook the huge fish from his line.
"Alright, Buddy! I think this is enough for everyone, right?"
