Island huh... I'll investigate this island later but first
"Let me introduce myself, I am Lyan Timberwolf, nice to meet you guys" I introduced myself.
"I am Clay Asval, nice to meet you captain" Clay said as he bowed.
"Rivera Green, hi captain" Rivera grabbed the hem of her skirt and bowed.
"I am Talia Crystal, Nice to meet you Sir.Lyan " Talia bowed but she bowed towards the other direction.
Rivera was about to correct her but I stopped her by waving my hand before moving to the direction Talia bowed to.
"Please raise your hands, we're a team now" I made a good impression, probably.
"Never thought captain would choose me" Rivera said, seems like she's a carefree person.
"Why'd you say that? " I asked
"Because I wish to be a priestess in the religion of light." she said as she scratched her cheek.
"Oh, is that it? I don't really mind if you're aspiring to be a priestess for the religion of light." I'm really fine with it.
"Thanks captain" Rivera smiled.
"I might be blind but I can do a lot of household chores" Talia meekly said.
"Talia isn't there something you wish to be?" I asked I don't want Talia to be left out on our adventures.
"I-I always wanted to be a mage..." Talia said as she played with her fingers.

"A mage huh, well, let's hit the library tomorrow" I said as I pat her head.
"Thank you very much sir Lyan!" Talia smiled but in the wrong direction so I moved to the spot where she smiled again.
"Captain, Thank you very much for taking us all in" This time Clay kneeled respectfully.
"Oh yeah, Clay, Talia, and Rivera lets all train after 2 days" their levels are a bit low so I'll have to help them.
"Sure thing captain" Clay agreed but Talia and Rivera were happily chatting in the corner and didn't hear what I said. Clay was about to apologize but I only waved my hand.
"It's fine, It's fine, let's all go to the blacksmith, you guys need some new gear" I said as I called Talia and Rivera.
"We can't possibly accept this captain" Clay said.
"I'm your captain now, your lives are more valuable than money" I said as I started walking.
"Then, Thank you captain" Clay said
"Don't say thank you, this is only natural" I laughed, I heard too much 'thank you's ' already.
"Tha-" Clay was about to thank me again, but his mouth got slapped by Rivera shutting him up.
After upgrading Clay's gear from Leather Armor, Iron sword, and wooden shield to Steel armor, Steel sword, and a kite shield.
Rivera now also has a priestess' robes, and rod.
Lastly, Talia received a new set of clothes, because the one she wore before was a bit old and torn here and there. She also received a Mage's robe and a grimoire that transmits the spell directly to the mind of the user. It was worth a fortune to the three of them but not for me.
"Sir.Lyan, this is really too much" Talia said as she started sobbing.
"hey, it's ok, don't cry..." I tried my best to comfort her but in the end, she still cried.
'SHUT IT Bitch! You better be grateful master Lyan laid his eyes on you' Rea couldn't take it and protested in my mind.
"Okay guys, let's all go home and rest up." I said before remembering something and giving them some money before saying
"Use this and go stay at an Inn for a week" I handed them a pouch with 3000 silver coins, a single day in a high-class inn was worth 10 silver coins, food was included.
"But this is too much..." this time even Rivera got embarrassed.
"Split the change and send it to your families" I remembered that these guys came from a poor family.
"""Than-""" they were gonna thank me again but I gave them a death stare.
"See you guys tomorrow" I said as I walked away.
""See you captain"" Clay and Rivera were synchronized.
"See you sir.Lyan" only Talia was different.
'Goddamn it bitch, who told you to use Master Lyan's first name?!' that was Rea's goodbye.
I walked back home while talking with Rea about a bunch of stuff.
