Chapter 460 - 25. Eggs
"Hello, my name is Ossie."
"Nice to meet you... nice to meet you..."
The Iceberg Queen swayed slightly at night, but Fisher, engaged in engraving magic on the cutting board with a kitchen knife, was not alone—after all, a Grey Bird Species girl was repeating conversations with a parrot in the next room.
Previously, Fisher had seen her everyday secluded atop the mast, thinking she preferred solitude over interaction. But it seemed that might not be the case...
As a "Healing" circlet emerged on the cutting board, Fisher sighed gently, relaxed his fingers for a moment, then wiped a bit of magic powder onto the edge of the knife, before continuing to engrave the Main Ring.
"Steel Blade, I just saw that the captain and that man were holding hands. I think it won’t be long before Alagina marries him... But when we were in the Female Country, Alagina and I both were quiet, and now she’s getting married. That’s why I feel a bit envious. I want to try communicating with others, I can’t always rely on you to speak for me. What do you think, Steel Blade?"
"Fool... fool..."
Steel Blade’s response was rather vague, leaving Fisher guessing the general idea, but Ossie could converse fluently with it, probably a natural talent of the Grey Bird Species,
"I know, I’ll try talking to others later, but I still need your help now... Huh, didn’t I say the same thing to you last month?"
"Co-coo... co-coo..."
Second Officer Ossie’s conversation with Steel Blade was stealthily overheard by Fisher, who was still busy in the kitchen engraving magic and initially felt a headache from using the kitchen knife as a tool, but this unexpected eavesdrop eased his head and hand, making the magic engraving swifter and smoother.
Fisher remembered struggling to find a reason to study Ossie before but hearing her monologue-like conversation with Steel Blade gave him a clue.
