Chapter 381: Leading the Way
"Vic! I want to go too! I want to go with you!"
As soon as Vic finished speaking, Rebecca's eager voice rang in his ears. He didn't know whether she wanted to be alone with Vic or was too bored on the warship and wanted to land early.
"You and..."
Vic wanted to refuse Rebecca, because he didn't have the ability to lead anyone, but he couldn't bring himself to ask it, so he gave the old man a look, wanting him to ask it first.
But before he could finish his words, the old man turned around and looked at the sea as if nothing had happened. It was obvious that the old man didn't want to get involved in what was going on between them.
The old man is not blind, he has also been through a lot when he was young. When he was young, he might not have understood much about love affairs, but now he is at this age, what does he not understand?
He knew exactly what Rebecca was thinking, and he didn't want to interfere in what was going on between them, lest he be blamed for nothing. As for what the final outcome would be, you guys could figure it out on yourselves. I'm just a deaf and blind old man.
"Rebecca! Don't you know my abilities? I can't lead anyone when I'm in elemental form. Why don't you just wait for me on the warship?"
Ignoring the mischievous looks from Wendy and the others, Vic sighed and tried to persuade Rebecca to stay. He said that he really couldn't bring anyone with him in his elemental form, and it wasn't that he had any tricks up his sleeve. Other ways of traveling might cause delays, and that was not what he wanted.
"I don't want you to take me with me. I can fly on my own. I'll find you when we get to the island. Please just let me go, please!"
Rebecca walked up to Vic, hugged his arm, and shook him, acting coquettishly. However, her movements were a little stiff, and her face was a little red. She didn't know where she learned this trick, but she hadn't mastered it yet.
Others would shake their arms to act coquettishly from a certain distance, but she did the opposite. She just hugged Vic's arm against her own, and when she shook it, she would respond.
Vic's whole body was also stiff, and a soft feeling rushed straight into his heart, making Vic shiver. This was the first time in his whole life that he was so close to a girl's private parts. If he was completely unfamiliar with the matters between men and women, it would not be a big deal. The key point was that he understood it all, but he had never put it into practice.
"Okay... okay! Fly the sword yourself... be... careful, I'll wait for you on the island!"
Vic glared at Wendy and carefully pulled his arm out of Rebecca's arms, rolling with the ball again.
Feeling the smoothness of the arm's pressure, wrapping around it, his heart trembled again, and an unknown fire surged up and down in his lower abdomen. Fortunately, before the fire burned his heart, he completely pulled his arm out and quickly took a step back.
In his eyes, Rebecca was still too young. Although there were things like spirits in this world and humans developed earlier and faster, according to Vic's subjective will, Rebecca was just a minor now. He felt a little guilty and secretly cursed himself for being a pervert.
"Hey! Then wait for me to find you!"
Rebecca was fine, as she had already made up her mind and quickly let go of the romantic feelings in her heart, but the blush on her face had not yet faded.
As early as the night she met Ian, she wanted to give herself to Vic, but was rejected by Vic, who treated her as a minor. However, she had developed well in the year since she joined the navy, and she had long regarded herself as an adult.
She was willing and looking forward to doing some adult things with Vic. This was the signal that this mature body gave her. She just thought that Vic was unromantic. After all, Vic even rejected the mature and voluptuous Zhi Yuan. She never thought of him as a minor.
But who made her like him? She had been living with a man like Vic, so who else could catch her eye? Vic had already broadened her horizons. If Vic couldn't be with her in the end, she would definitely choose to live alone until the end of her life. There was no dogma in this world that "there are three unfilial acts, and the greatest of them is to have no offspring." There were many people who didn't get married.
"Then I'll go first. You check the direction of the record pointer before you set off." Vic told Rebecca, fearing that she would get too excited and get lost. This girl can be a little silly sometimes.
"Old man! Take out your Den Den Mushi and put it in your hand, so that I can't find you when I try to contact you. Don't be like someone who keeps talking to the anti-wiretap Den Den Mushi. It's so funny!"
After Vic and Rebecca finished speaking, they said something to the old man, and before he could get mad, they turned into lightning and shot straight into the sky.
He was trying to urge the old man to stop being so confused. Although he had things to do, he also wanted to take advantage of others with words, but he was afraid of getting beaten and ran away after saying it.
Seeing the old man turning around with a bad look on his face, Rebecca and the others laughed, but there was no trace of Vic on the deck.
Vic used to be a very serious person, but why did he start to act funny when he met the old man? It turns out that when two people stay together for a long time, their personalities will become closer.
The old man couldn't find anyone and could only sulk, muttering to himself that he would teach Vic a lesson next time and beat him until he called him grandpa.
Rebecca smiled for a while, stretched out her right hand and made a gesture, the sword box behind her opened instantly and a flying sword flew out. After the sword box closed, she took a step, stepped firmly on the flying sword and flew away.
Although Rebecca can fly directly after eating the Float-Float Fruit, she still prefers to fly with a sword. Since using the Float-Float Fruit to fight is also flying with a sword, why not use the whole set!
She had just looked at the direction the record pointer was pointing, so she didn't hesitate for a moment.
"Wendy! Please keep an eye on Ian for me and don't let her run around!" Although Rebecca flew, her voice still reached the warship.
"I want to go too. I want to fly too. I want to follow Vic!"
When Ian saw that Vic and Rebecca had left, she pouted and muttered to herself, but she didn't say anything because she saw that Vic didn't even take Rebecca with him. However, she could not take away her unhappy mood.
She has a lot to learn every day now. Vic and Rebecca take turns teaching her. She lives a childhood that only the children in Vic's previous life would experience! What a miserable child, even more miserable than Tashigi who stayed in the Navy Headquarters.
"Ain! We're almost there at the Seven Waters City. We'll be able to see Vic and Rebecca soon. Let's go! Let's go study. Today I'll teach you about the geography of this world. We'll probably be there by the time the lesson is over. Let's go!"
Although Ian's muttering was soft, Wendy, who came to her side, still heard it. In order to prevent Ian from running around, she chose to give Ian a lesson to pass the remaining time, but she did not notice Ian's eyes that were about to roll up to the sky.
