Chapter 281 - The Might Of The Argo (III) (1/2)
Holia handed me a mug of ale but I declined since the taste and smell of ale make me a bit dizzy even in the game.
”That's a shame. You should try it some time since ale is one of the best drinks you can drink while traveling,” Holia then chug down the mug of ale in one serving.
”You barbarian, why are you drinking while we are currently on duty?! If you got drunk, who would be the navigator if we ever got lost?!” Tora then grabbed the wooden mug in Holia's hands.
”What a killjoy as always, Captain. It's just one mug and you are already overreacting over it. You should at least have to drink to keep yourself energized and awake throughout the whole journey!”
”I am fine without drinking it. And besides, it's already a frigging morning! Why would you need to drink this to stay awake?! In fact, if you got drunk after all of that, you would be knocked out and will no longer be able to function properly!”
”Ah, ah, ah. Are you forgetting that I have a high alcohol tolerance and I can stay all day drinking and I would still be fine!”
”What the heck are you talking about?! Out of all the crew of the Argo, you have the lowest alcohol tolerance! Don't you dare try to trick me!”
Tora and Holia continued to bicker that the other crew can only shake their heads.
”Don't be surprised about this, man. Those guys are always bickering but that is normal and it never escalates into something worse.”
CLANG! BANG! BOOM!
”Yeaaaahhh... Perfectly normal,” I nodded even though I am hearing the clanging of the utensils and other things being thrown alongside the shouting here and there.
”Captain! Two Black Drakes are currently eyeing our ship!” the guy who spotted the Wing Worm before shouted, alerting and halting the bickering Captain and First Mate.
”Looks like it's your turn to shine, yeah?” Tora looked at Holia as he rub the small bump on his forehead.
”A drake huh? It's been a while since we meet a drake from our travels. I thought they have already gone extinct,” Holia pulls out a long barrel gun. It looks like a shotgun at first but when you observe it carefully, you can see the difference between a shotgun and the weapon on her hands.
”Drakes are on sight!”
”YOSH! LET'S GET WILD!”
Spinning the long barrel gun, she aims and two rapid shots were fired in the direction of the Drake. It was so quick and you won't notice the second shot due to how the sound blended to the first shot's noise.
After the two rapid shots, the other crew members throw out a large net in the direction where the shots were fired.
Two loud growls echoed in the distance. After the growl can be heard, the crewmates immediately pull the net they throw out. They are pulling it so hard that I am not sure whether they have indeed captured something.
Tora went to the rear of the deck where everyone is gathered and checked below where the other crewmates threw their nets.
”Keep pulling guys, it seems our main dish for tonight would be a Drake recipe from yours truly!” Holia shouted with enthusiasm.
As she said that, everyone roared in unison and pulled the net with all their strength. Just by that alone, they pulled the net in one go, dragging the two lifeless drakes inside the net.
