The merchant ended up asking for even more Creas and surprisingly, Emilia went ahead to give it to him without complaining which was honestly a huge surprise to me.
She assures me that the money will return back to us again eventually so I don't question her.
I was actually half expecting another pirate attack or something but it seemed like those pirates were the only ones in the area since no one else showed up after that.
There were a few ships that passed by but all of them were other merchant ships, passenger ships or patrol ships so we didn't have to fight off anymore pirates.
There was one time some kind of tentacle monster appeared but another patrol ship was nearby so they went ahead to shoot their magic cannons at it to repel it easily, meaning we did not even need to participate in the fight at all.
A few more days passed without any interruption before Anam City appeared on the horizon, the outline of the city jutting out from the landmass quite distinctively.
