Neither of the two of them waved at me, and neither did I. The boat quickly drifted away from the beach. The sun was slowly setting, closer to the horizon, and it felt like we were sailing out to the ocean.

It had been a long time at the dock and the food was plentiful, so it was a bit of a lively party, but it was still awkward when I joined the drinking game. I excused myself to rest and returned to my cabin.

In the game, the ship was a ghost ship that had been abandoned at the entrance to the black market for a long time. That meant there was at least one ship that had carried the pet, hoping to get to the secret market.
