When I logged into the game, everyone was gathered there. There are fire shadows, Saba Can and the others, Sharrow and a few others I saw at the zombie event here and there.

It was too sudden and too crowded... Anyway, I take Lily and the others and go to pick up the ship.

'Sorry to bother you. We're here to pick up the ship.

'Oh!　You're here. It's finished.

When I was led in, there was a single ship hidden in a cloth.

'I'll show you on my behalf!

Hugues grabbed the cloth when he said that.

'Let's go?　Are you ready for your heart?

''Yes!''

Lily and the others answer cheerfully.

'Un-un!　Very happy!　Okay, here we go!　Ta-da!

Hugues took the cloth and what appeared was a small sailing ship with a dragon on the bow.

''Oh...''

"Ugh...

Everyone laughs at us, probably because we had the same reaction. I don't blame them for this... but when I see this boat, I decide to change the name I had decided on.

Enter the name.

Arkwurm: Rarity 5 Ship Quality C
Endurance value: 200
A small wooden boat owned by Reepling. The ship is suitable for navigating rivers and other narrow waterways.
It is not armed and has no offensive capabilities. It is equipped with a small magic engine.

Looking at the name, Yug says.

''Arkwurm... it's the dragon of the Ark, isn't it?''

Hugues is right and Ark is the word used in Noah's Ark. Wurm means dragon. The moment I saw this, I knew it was it.

'It was worth it to make the bow of the ship a dragon.

Did you make that, Mr. Hugues?

'Yes. I just have a feeling that dragons would be a good fit for you and your friends, after all.

Lily is the first summoned beast.

Then everyone gets on the boat first. I get a briefing from a nice guy, a shipbuilder.

He says, "This is a small ship, so it can hold six passengers. The boat is operated from the cockpit. You use the rudder to move left and right, and the up and down levers control your speed. Up is for acceleration and down is for deceleration.

It's serious.

I used the cheapest engine I could find.　It's cheapest on a small boat, which is good enough for me.

Hmm? There's an engine.

Ha, of course there are. There are ships that use wind magic to control them, but the mainstream is the magic engine. If you want a good one, you can go to Elixir Lapis or Wizard Orb.

This is where those two countries come into play...I'd like to go there, but I can't get there fast enough.

The explanation is done and we pay. Now this boat is officially our boat.

We want to try it out as soon as possible, but we haven't gone to the mangrove forest yet, so we take the hix from the lizardman's place of residence.

As the forest came into view, Hicks suddenly lost his balance. Apparently, even the hicks can't fly. Then comes the warning info.

'The mangrove forest beyond here is a magic inhibiting area. Please note that you will not be able to fly or use magic in this field.''

I can't use magic as well as flight... it's a hopeless field for wizards and such. But I guess once I learn to disable inhibitions, I'll be able to use them. I can't learn it, so I'll just give up.

I look down and see Ruin and his friends, so I get off. Apparently, this is the starting point of the mangrove forest.

When I launch the boat, everyone has the same reaction. See, they said it will happen.

It seems that we can try out the boat, so I drove it with Lily and the others. During the test ride, even if the ship is damaged, it's going to be back to normal. They say you won't be attacked by monsters.

It's definitely a small turnaround when you actually drive it. I'm having fun and everyone wants to drive it.

Lily drives first. We see the punchline and evacuate. As a result, we hit all over the place and the boat sinks. You won't fail me.

"Hey, Aeon!　Helpoooooooooooooong.

Huh, well, that's the way it is.

After that, they all tried driving, but the ones who were good at it were Aeon, Ix, Noah, Livina, Liane, and Bran.

The ones who were not good at the boat itself were Setia, Love Fire, Kazuki, and Mir.

Lilly, Sephone, Luna, and Iyuki were the ones who were not good at driving. In Luna and Iyuki's honor, the two of them were only hard to steer because of their lack of height. They weren't bad at it.

'You're with Lily, Sephone!

It's nice to have a friend. Lilly. On the contrary, it's Sephone who is in a hurry.

Well, wait a minute!　I was just in a bit of a temper tantrum earlier, that's all!　You demand a do-over!

Don't do it. It was desperate, and we who were watching know best.

Afterwards, everyone who had gathered will also have a test ride. Since we're going to be here, let's see how everyone is piloting the boat.

There are a variety of people enjoying the boat with the engine at full throttle and others driving safely. A shallow man who rode the boat with the engine at full throttle came.

Small boats are great. It's a thrill that can't be experienced often. Thank you for inviting me to join you.

'No, you've invited me before and I'm sorry to be on such short notice.

'Ha. You're so disciplined. Well, would you like to go fishing?

That's one thing. Smaller boats are more like fishing boats. We haven't been fishing lately. But I'm afraid of what we'll catch here.

We'll catch anaconda and Nile crocodiles and stuff like that.

'Ha!　It sure looks like we're going to catch it!　If we catch a candle, it's a problem, and we'll have to wait until another time.

Yes. Oh, are you free on weekends or something?

I'm free. What about time?　I recommend fishing in the morning. The fish seem to be easy to catch.

Seriously....quintessential fisherman, you know what you don't know. So Saturday morning's plan was to fish.

And I was introduced by Mr. Lewin to a female player who was a crafter.

'Yes, it's nice to meet you... it's Nao, the craftsman...'

This is a serious case.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Summoner Tact.

"Oh, what?

Hmm? What's going on?

'Oh, um... excuse me, young girl Samonar... isn't it?

I wish you wouldn't call it that, but it's probably right.

Mew Mew!

Nao and Mew spoke up.

''Young girl Summoner-san is someone who gets pissed off if you mess with a young girl, and she'll single-handedly lead the attack, and I'm the best in this game! Wasn't that a dangerous man named Hee Haw?

What's the image! Is that what you think I am? ...I'm shocked. I'm so depressed.

'I'm sorry!　It was just a weird misunderstanding.

No, it's fine...I don't mind.

'Uh, uh... oh!　Here!　You asked for it!

Let me see it.

Cow ball necklace: rarity 7 Accessory Quality C
Effect:Disable disease, increase the power of sacred magic (small)
A necklace with a cow ball attached to a silver chain. It has the power to nullify sacred attributes and diseases to the wearer.

Oh... nice work! Then a multitude of eyes, the lillies. They seem to want it, but in the end it was decided that I would equip it. It's a good idea to make sure that you're not going to have to worry about your own health.

While I'm grateful to Nao-san, everyone else is jumping ship. As a result, Lisa, Yuko, Arleigh and Hikage, who got carried away and happily crashed, joined the ranks of the Lily group.

Afterwards, at everyone's request, they had to fight once. The members were Aeon, Ix, Noah, Rian and Gale.

Rian is asked to pilot the ship and we are on alert. If we proceed with the ship, we will be warned.

You can't use your magic except on the ship from here on out. Please be careful.

I see. That's like recommending that we fight in a boat, then.

We proceed slowly. Then Ion, who was alerted to the water, warns me.

'Mr. Tact!　Underwater!

Aeon!

I hug Ion, who almost fell off the ship. Aw, man. I don't want to see Aeon get attacked by Kandil.

Are you okay?　Aeon

Soooooooo... so... so... so this is Daurohu.

I don't know what they're saying because I have my face stuck to the robe.

Then something jumps out of the river. Oh, that's it!

Desnia Lv 18.
Normal Monster Target Active

This is Mr. Desnia from the past. I'm very grateful for your help in the early days. You seem to have gotten a little stronger, so I won't relent.

Blitz!

He and Gale unleash lightning magic, and Ix shoots through it with his energy gun.

That kills him, but a giant body falls on him. Not good. However, Deathnia didn't hit the ship.

''...Hmm!''

Noah skewers Deathnia with his shadow spear. Nice. So the battle ended as promised.

'How did it go?'

Mel asks me, and I answer frankly.

'It's a tricky field, no doubt about it.

What do you mean?

'I felt it earlier in the battle, but maybe the enemy here in the field will try to drop us in the river on a boat.

We fell into the river and it was game over. We could say that we deserved to be targeted. For what it's worth...

Mr. Hugues, can I ask for your fee?

'Okay!　What is it?

Can't you put a fence on it?

A fence would at least reduce the risk of falling.

'Of course we can do it. I'll leave it up to Yug, the shipbuilder!

I guess I moved on from Catapult. Dismantling Desnia was an outlier. I would have preferred a weak Desnia. As for the fence, he said he could put it on right away, and he really did. Now I'll be able to fight a little more safely.

Since there are quite a few players here, we decided to exchange information.

The focus of everyone's attention is still the sea and the desert. In particular, the sea attracts a lot of attention because they find a lot of treasure chests. But the bottleneck is the underwater combat. If you come in your swimsuit, you won't be unable to fight, but it will be pretty tough to take on a tiger shark.

The key to the quest to get into the Sandwall Desert, the Matabi, was found in the Yellow Ossa Forest. However, there seems to be only one place to be found. It would be extremely difficult to find a single silver leaf in that forest. I honestly think it's amazing.

It seems that the people who found the silver vine only found it today. But we didn't get any information from them. It's hard work, and they found it, so we may not be able to blame them.

Still, they're going to put it up for sale, so if Mel and the others can buy it next Tuesday, they should be able to get in.

Mel and the others are in the event field for the holidays. They will be in the Sandwall Desert from Tuesday.

What about you, Tact?

"For now, we're going to take down Gigarth. After that, since we've gone to the trouble of building a ship, I think we'll focus on this place, the desert, and the sea.

"Don't you want to conquer the snowy mountains?

I met an ice dragon...

All of them talked about how that was impossible. That's right!
