"What do I even pay you for?" The merchant and owner of the ship seethed at me.
This guy, who had immediately gone to hide himself in a far corner of the ship when the pirates attacked, was now berating me for even letting his ship get damaged to begin with.
In fact, according to Katsuki who had been below deck during the fight because some of the Merfolk pirates used the portholes to climb inside the ship and she had been busy dealing with them… That merchant was prepared to abandon the ship and escape himself using a small boat.
Not that I expected him to fight on the frontlines with us to begin with but even if you weren't going to show us appreciation for what we did to protect your ship… Berating us for the damages it suffered during the fight is pretty rude, don't you think?
But well, he is still our employer so I just stood there and let him speak what he wanted while just staring blankly at him.
"All these damages, I'll have to bill you for the repairs!"
