"Wow..."

"Haiyi, Haiyi, why did you choose that big guy's stall out of all those stalls?"

Do you like them that big?

Dragged along by Haiyi, the girl in the white dress muttered innocently.

Haiyi's face twitched.

"I don't like that!"

"Then why did you try to chat her up?"

"Well..."

"Could it be that you're a cow or a horse, and you want to drink that swill? Oh, I see. You're afraid someone will see that you have this hobby, so you're asking first, and then sneaking over tonight to drink it like a cow! Right?"

The girl tilted her head and chirped like a little sparrow.

They're both cute and annoying.

"......"

Haiyi remained silent.

His lips twitched. He couldn't very well say that this was the location set by the "check-in system," could he? He also didn't know why the "system" had located the check-in point there...

Yes!

【system】!

Right after that damn [Azure Domain Relay Race] ended, Hai Yi was inexplicably bound to a [System].

As a native of Blue Ocean Star, he initially didn't believe the voice in his head.

Can...

After one attempt, he couldn't stop.

The [Check-in System] guarantees rewards for visiting the places mentioned!

The sign-in at the "Young Master's Bedroom" of the "Hai Mansion" gave Hai Wuliang information about his plans.

The "Young Lady of the Collins Family" bedroom check-in event gave her the strongest "Spring Ship" stats.

What's next? Go to the [Netherworld] to sign in and get the special ship girl [Ghost]?

Haiyi went there!

And then, he had all of these things!

The fact that his brother, Hai Wuliang, was actually the [King of Mithril] shocked him for over ten days. The skills of Collins Laura, the eldest daughter of the Collins family, were even more outrageous to him.

certainly...

After all these trips, what he felt he gained the most from was the little boat girl beside him.

The Ghost Ship!

The seemingly harmless little girl is not as simple as she appears.

"call..."

"Sneaking away from the Collins family means I'll be completely at odds with the Hai family and the Collins family from now on... Oh well, it's pointless to stay there every day, being forced to drive by a bunch of foreigners..."

"[Ghost]...Let's go! Let's explore some more!"

Okay~

The girl clung to the boy's arm as they continued exploring the [Pharmacist Ship Island]...

......

【Contract Association】.

A huge treehouse was built directly in front of them using plant roots and stems, and the three large characters "Contract Association" were carved in wood grain at the entrance of the house.

Many of the passing navigators paused here for a moment, looking thoughtfully at the notice board in front of the Contract Association.

[The Contract Society: Founded during the annual "Adventure Race".]

To ensure the safety of highly talented navigators, simply demonstrate your navigator talent to contract any "Medicine Ship" from the "Contract Guild." The "Medicine Ship's" skills are even more advantageous for navigating the "Shaking Spider Forest"!

[Prerequisites for establishing a contract: (1) The navigator must have an S-rank talent. (2) The contract is for a short period of one month, during which the contracted healer ship will have a status comparable to the "first ship girl". (3) If both parties are satisfied, the contract can be upgraded to permanent.]

"oh?"

"The [Pharmacist Ship Family] has considered things quite thoroughly?"

"They're actually sending temporary ship girls to highly talented navigators?"

Looking at the information from the [Contract Association], Haiyi was about to step into the treehouse.

"Snap!"

A pair of strong hands gripped Haiyi's shoulders tightly from behind.

"No...you're not allowed to...go!!!"

The ghost puffed up its little face like a pufferfish and looked into the treehouse with displeasure.

Inside there...

They are all uniformly majestic mountain peaks and older sister-type "boat girls".

Although she pretended to be nonchalant and teased Haiyi on the surface, once she saw that they were really going to make a contract, Xiaochuan Niang's possessiveness exploded!

"Well..."

"Can't I even go in and take a look?"

Haiyi gave an awkward smile.

He admitted that he had indeed been thinking about expanding his fleet.

after all!

I have an SS-level talent, after all!

"OK..."

"Go ahead... just go in... I'll keep watching you... forever..."

A ghostly, yandere-like gaze came from behind, and Haiyi felt a chill run down his spine. He immediately shook his head, took her hand, and walked away quickly.

"Rustling..."

Not far from them, the thin-skinned woman stared in their direction, doodling in her notebook, and then immediately shook her head.

[Haijia Haiyi: Lacking conviction in her choice of ship girl, her resolve is wavering! -20 points deducted!]

Overall score: 70 points, PASS!

......

"Bang!"

Just as Haiyi left, the doors of the Contract Society were flung open. A wrinkled, gray-haired "middle-aged man" was violently thrown out by a "ship girl"!

"Get lost!"

"What C-level talent? You dare to come here asking for a contract?!"

The boatwoman looked at the middle-aged man with disdain. The middle-aged man was thrown to the ground and rolled several times before slowly coming to a stop, his face ashen: "You bunch of clueless bastards!"

Do you know who I am?!
