[EXPEDITION] Wild Ocean

"But why did they bury you?" the orc asked, puzzled.

"Well..." he hesitated for a moment, then said. "I had a few drinks there, fell asleep... I guess I slept really soundly! And they buried me. It was worse when I woke up."

When the girls reached the place where the road became even, Akane, breathing heavily, lowered Snow White to the ground; now they could take their time. First, they found the captain and told him about the madman they had found in the swamps and the strange hole in the ground, which, as they thought, was the source of the earthquake.
Covered in mud from head to toe, tired, and emotionally drained, they inquired about where they could rest. Would the governor provide a couple of inns for the ship's crew? Or should they go to the nearest one themselves and rent a room at their own expense? Of course, the option of being able to wash and have their clothes cleaned was a must.

"I can assign you to the barracks; after all, you are just as much servants of the Kro Empire as my people," the governor said. "Of course, you will be able to wash. In the river or in the sea, as you wish."
"I think your lodging will be more pleasant than mine," added Navarro. "And your information... well, it's good that you found out. But I'm afraid it doesn't really concern us."
"How can it not concern you? Sanchez, do you think that the problems of my city don't concern you?"
"Well, I mean..."
"And you don't think that if you helped me solve them, I could not only help you but even go with you?"
"I think that's not a good idea."
"Of course, you don't think so! You're always like that! Well, let's not make the girls listen to our bickering," the governor called a guard. "Please, take them to the barracks. Or do you still want to stay somewhere in a tavern? Perhaps the conditions are better there."
