I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 164: To the East!(4)

"Sweet! We got glimmering gold from the ship we just blew up!"

"Val, you're not going to snatch some gold again and buy new weapons in the black market, right?"

"Ha... Hahaha, of course not..."

Valerie Ardenclaire I, a girl with vermillion hair that glimmers in the sun, but better known as the lost princess, smiles nervously at her crewmate, Paris. Valerie frowned as Paris sighed at her and snatched the money pouch from her grasp. Paris then locked his gaze on her.

"I know what you're up to; don't try to fool me."

"Awww, but Paris-"

"Do not attempt to bargain with me; it will not work. Now go back to being on the lookout."

"Haa, okay, captain."

Valerie then turned around and began walking forward with her binoculars on at the top of the deck. Paris simply shook his head and stuffed the money into his chest pocket. Paris then went to the rest of his crewmates and told them about the damage their ship had sustained as a result of the latest ship loot.

Valerie just pouted, her gaze fixed on Paris from above. When she felt something bumping on her foot several times, she turned her gaze to it. And there she is, looking up at her with sparkling eyes, a fat but healthy-looking piglet. Valerie smiled and patted the piglet on the head.

"Do you want to eat?"

"Oink! Oink!"

"No? So, do you want to be on the lookout alongside me?"

"Oink!"

"Good girl."

Valerie rubbed the piglet's head with a smile. She then carried the piglet and started to look around the vast ocean. Even though Valerie dislikes being the one on the lookout, she can't deny that the view while on the job was spectacular.

"Ahh, this is why I became a pirate... It's so big and wide!"

As if it can understand her, the piglet nodded in return, making Valerie chuckle.

"Ah right, I forgot to include you."

"Oink! Oink! "

"Haha, I know I'm so- hmm?"

Valerie came to a halt and narrowed her eyes to get a better look at what she was seeing from a distance. She then noticed a black dot on the horizon that was slowly taking shape as it seemed to get closer and closer. Valerie frowned and put on her binoculars to get a better look at the black dot.

Valerie focuses her vision and immediately becomes serious after identifying the object on the horizon as a boat. Valerie's brow furrowed as she observed this.

"What in the world is a boat doing in the middle of the ocean?"

Valerie narrowed her vision and slightly gasped as she noticed a figure dressed in black sitting on the boat.

"What in the world... Is that boat possibly stranded?"

"Oink?"

Valerie then turns her attention to the piglet and nods. She then made the piglet put on the binoculars so it could see while she raised her voice to attract Paris' and the others' attention below.

"Stranded person on a boat approaching from 1 o'clock!"

When Paris and the other crew members looked up, they noticed Valerie pointing in a specific direction. Then they all turned their heads to see what she was talking about. Paris then gasped in amusement.
