Chapter 14

[erasedpages]

I'm taking the day off, Smoker. I need to catch up on reading books that were written in this world. I'm up for suggestions. Oh, and better watch out for the fruits. It looks like everyone's running into them lately.

That's it.

What type of genre of books do you like to read?

[erasedpages]

History books, usually.

[climatacted]

Ah, really? We have a lot of those kinds of books on the ship.

Have you read up on Gol. D Roger yet?

[erasedpages]

Yeah ~ A lot, you say?

I've head a lot about him, but I haven't gotten to any books yet.

[climatacted]

A good number I'd like to think.

I'd suggest you try a book by Fredrik J Saul. I can't think of the name right now, unfortunately. You should be able to find it.

Mah, mah, I'm jealous.

I'll remember that. Do you read a lot too?

[climatacted]

They don't have books in the Marine HQ?

I read more than most of the people on this ship.

[erasedpages]

Already read most of them.

Smart and beautiful ~ ?

[climatacted]

Pretty smart. I guess that's to be expected from a Marine.

Sorry, but flattery won't get you anywhere.

[erasedpages]

Being a Marine is just my second job.

I'm only saying what's true ~

[climatacted]

Your first would be?

Thank you all the same, but I just wanted to make myself clear. It won't do you any good.

Bookman ~

Don't worry. My compliments don't come with bad intentions.

[climatacted]

You mean like a librarian?

The thought never crossed my mind.

[erasedpages]

More like a historian.

[climatacted]

That would explain the like for history books. I hope it turns out to be a good read.

[erasedpages]

Thanks~ I don't think I got your name, by the way.
