242 240. Sea Road.txt




 Out of the port city of Gliard, me and Titi continued our voyage.
 It was not a proper voyage, however.

 Titi's high performance jet engines are generating wind at the stern, and she is hurtling across the ocean at speeds that are almost impossible to achieve on a ship. My high-performance navigation system keeps checking to see if I am on the right course.

 After a few days of repeated magic and sleep, with a roaring sound that seems to pierce the ocean and passing ships pointing out that it is a bizarre phenomenon - we have reached our destination, the waters near the mainland port town of Cork.

 However, the smooth sailing of the voyage is not without its problems. Rather, we found a problem, so we both jumped in.
 We found a flotilla of ships - a flotilla of ships being attacked by monsters - and the first thing that happened was that Titty enthusiastically proposed to help people. There was no reason for me to object to that, and I was to take on the boss of those monsters.

 Thus began a somewhat special battle.
 During the battle, Titi and I were shouting at each other.

Which one of us is next! Kanamin!
Left! About 35 degrees! Yes, but slow down a bit more!

 Like an arc, the massive "Living Legend" runs across the sea. Its massive mass moves at high speed, much like a skyscraper running like a bullet train. Although there is no danger to my life on a level, it instinctively makes me feel fear. If it hits land like this, it will undoubtedly gouge the map.

 And behind that dangerous object, there's one black shadow chasing after it without hesitation.


[Monster] Jiphias Spear: rank 35.


 Its body is as large as a whale and is comparable to that of the Living Legend. Its upper jaw is as sharp and long as a marlin, and its entire body is covered with scales resembling the crustaceans that are characteristic of monsters.
 It's not something we in the Living Legend could have said, but it looks like an armored car charging towards us at the speed of a sports car.

 We're engaged in a ship chase, not a car chase, with this monster at sea.

"You're going to slow down! But if you slow down, you'll get caught!
'No, the rudder will break before the monster gets you! The sails rip!
If they catch me, it's all the same! Next time I'll take a sharper left! We're going to win this one by a small margin!

 My screams at the helm are vain, and Titi blows wind magic at the bow.
 Then, with further acceleration, the Living Legend bends its direction of travel to make a U-turn while tilting its hull.

''I mean, this is drifting! Hey, dude, you do understand inertia and all that, don't you!
'Kansei? Mmmm, I'm doing this with my sensibilities!
Oh, this! I have a feeling you're not getting the message!

 The unexpected struggle and the unexpected titty's response was about to break my heart.

 I want to blame me for a minute ago when I thought I could afford to take on a rank 35 monster.
 First of all, it's hard for Titi not to be able to fight in the air to protect the ship. Furthermore, Titi is a harpy species, so she doesn't like to get wet, and I can't walk on the sea since I lost my freeze magic.
 It was only after we engaged that I realized this disadvantage. In contrast, Jiphias Spear's side is a fish out of water, as they say the sea is home, as they say.

 Nevertheless, even if they had expected this hard fight, they would have had no choice but to fight this guy.
 The fleet that had been attacked by Giphias Spear a little far away, and I see in the 《Dimension》 that they are unable to move against the Military Family. If they were full of the Military alone, the entire fleet would have been inevitable if they were dealing with the boss, Jiphias Spear.

 Right now, Titi was right, we have no choice but to take them down, even if we have to force ourselves.

''That's enough! They certainly don't seem to have a lot of room for maneuvering! Keep it behind you!
Yes, sir!

 The Living Legend tilts until the port side of the ship nearly touches the surface of the water, and then it shakes off the chase of the pursuing Jiphias Spear and, conversely--

Well, you've got my back!

 We took up a position where we could chase it from behind.
 Giphias Spear was a clever monster. So far, it had dived under water after receiving Titi's long-range magic many times and only attacked us from behind. But that advantage also ends here.
 In addition, this is the end of the 'Living Legend' as well.

''Ah! The ship's sails are torn--!

 The reckless operation has pushed us over the limit.

'But enough is enough! Huh, finally I can make a heroic attack!

 Titty leaps from the bow of the ship and swings the 'Flying Greenstone Light Armor Louis Finelyt' made by Alibers, shimmering in the sunlight, while swinging the 'Original Ancestor and Demon King's Demon Sword Brave Florite' down on Jiphias Spear's back.

''Eat it, 《Excessive Wind Blast》!

 Although she wasn't using magic, Titi shouted out the name of the technique.
 She had been repeating the word "brave" lately, so the name of the technique now must be something brave to her.

 Then the sword and scales clashed, and the sound of blows that seemed to break the eardrums rang out in the sea - as a result, like a plop, the 'Primordial and Demon King's Demon Sword Brave Florite' separated from Titi's hands.

''Ah! Ka, hard! Or rather, the sword of a child (wawa) aaaaah!

 That's because it's not very sharp.
 If you slammed into that huge mass with the idiotic power of a guardian, it would recoil like that. Probably, Titi had imagined that she could quickly slash her enemies. That's why his grip was so lax.

'Nah, then! Next up, the "Northern Tongue King Style Ancient Martial Arts"! Bite me, 'Whirlwind Blast'!

 Immediately, Titi regained her composure and delivered a powerful kick as it landed.

 The name of that technique is the Northern Tongue King style ancient martial arts "Whirlwind Strike".
 No, well, it's true. It's the technique of the king who ruled the north a thousand years ago, so it must be so. There's no doubt that it's an ancient martial art. There's no doubt about it ......, but for some reason I don't agree with some of it.

 However, the effectiveness of that fraudulent technique was immense.
 It attacked with a titty limb that had more offensive power than the "Demon Sword of the Primordial and Demon King Brave Florite", so naturally, the result was different from the previous one. The kick destroyed Jiphias Spear's scales like a biscuit shattering a biscuit and dug into his flesh.
 The impact slows down the enemy's movements at once.

''Alright, while we're at it, I'm going to pick up the child's sword--''

 In the meantime, Titi is about to go and retrieve the sword.

'Pick it up later! Just pull out your wind bayonet and finish him off! You get in trouble if you go under again!

 But I caution that I don't have time for that.
 Titi, angered, has no choice but to generate a bayonet in her hand and quickly insert its blade into Jiphias Spear's back. I was able to break through those hard scales with ease.
 That's the best way to go after all: .......

...... People's lives are on the line, so it's inevitable. Go through it and run! A gale!

 After being stabbed in the back, Jiphias Spear naturally tried to dive under the water to escape. But at that moment, Titi shot a wind bullet from the bayonet she had placed inside her enemy's body.
 Ignored the armor of scales, the armor of scales, and a direct hit from the magic of the guardian (Guardian), Jiphias Spear had no more chance of survival. The monster's screams echoed across the sea.

''Cease and desist--! Explode from within!

 A merciless titi magic follows.
 A bullet of wind that would have exploded inside caused Jiphias Spear to spurt blood from the gaps in the scales of its entire body - and explode.
 Thus, the monster was killed by the way it was defeated, which could not have been managed a little more.

 Giphias Spear's movements gradually slow down due to death. The same is true for the Living Legend, due to the breakage of its sails.
 Furthermore, thanks to Titi's wind-magic adjustment on the corpse of the Giphyas Spear to prevent it from colliding, the ridiculous high-speed ship chase comes to a safe end.

 The monster and the ship stand still on the sea - as I watch it, I remember that unlike the labyrinth, monsters don't turn into demonic stones here.
 The magic stone turning technique is only found in the labyrinth, so there are no drops. However, it's still a good idea because you can strip various things from the corpse.

 In the middle of checking the results of the battle, I asked Titi about something that was very interesting to me. 

'Speaking of which, what happened to that 'magic bullet (Flyshoot)' thing you were shouting about in the labyrinth?'

 It's about the technical name.

'Hm? The most important thing to remember is that it's a technique that Kanamin taught me, not a technique given by a child. I'm sure it's a stronger shot than that one, but ...... unless you're in a tight spot, you won't scream.
'I knew that was my name, didn't I? But why don't you use it unless you're in a tight spot? Flyshooting is easier to say and cooler, right?

 If it's the "Gale Dancer" and the "Magic Bullet (Flyshoot)", the "Magic Bullet (Flyshoot)" is the one to choose without a doubt.

''No, isn't the Kid's move cooler? All of those technique names over there are kind of strange. To be honest, I don't know the meaning of many of them.
Well, the magic bullet you used before, the "Nachtkult Gram" (Nachtkult's sword), it's really good, isn't it? I think the meaning of it is well conveyed.
Is that so? Hmmm, I don't really like it because it doesn't feel like a special move. ...... I'm sure he's going to bite his tongue when he's shouting ....... To begin with, isn't that too many letters?
The more the merrier: ......

 I've been fundamentally denied my own theory.
 Apparently, my sense is going in the opposite direction from Titi's. And I feel like that's a direction that will never intersect again.

 But it's an important conversation for us, but it's one that would be dismayed with a sigh if Maria or her sister Yotaki, for example, were to hear it. In the auditory hallucinations, I hear things like, "Neither of us are the same. They are on the same level." or something like that.

Hmmm. If you're going to go that far with Kanami, the final clinching move is to take a pause: ......
'Ah, yes. I was relieved to see that the big guy (the boss) had been defeated, but there were still some servants left.

 Giphias Spear is dead, but the Military Aquatic Monsters are still attacking the fleet.
 However, with the Dimension, there doesn't seem to be any danger.
 There are more than ten fleets, most of which are military ships. The people who seem to be military personnel are shooting magic from the ship and intercepting small monsters. What's more, the military personnel show solid training marks, and they're keeping their movements intact in this situation. As long as these elites are around, they will be safe as long as no big monsters appear.

I'm sure you'll be able to find your way to the center of the fleet while shooting down the small fry. There's no end to what we can do with them one by one.

 As long as they were counted in the 《Dimension》, the number of their enemies exceeded a thousand.
 It seems that unlike the labyrinth, the number of monsters in the great outdoors increases to this extent.

That's right. If you use great magic there, you can wipe them out and everyone will see how brave you are, so you can kill two birds with one stone!

 Without any particular objection, Titi and I head to the far-flung fleet in The Living Legend. Although the main sail has been ripped off, the sub sails are still in place so we can use wind magic to move.

''Ah. But please remember the location of the Brave Florite that just fell off with Dimension. I'll ask Kanamin to pick it up later, you know.
Okay.

 Maintaining the 《Dimension》, I slowly divide the route to the center of the fleet.
 All of the ships are brave, and are as large as the "Living Legend". It's not equipped with firearms - but long-range weapons made of magic stones on its side. Due to the differences in the development of civilization, there seems to be a difference not only in the power of the magic stones, but also in the weapons.

 While thinking that it would be a problem if our ship was attacked, we cautiously approached it from behind the fleet.
 However, that worry is unfounded. The person who seemed to be the captain rank commanding the ship had stopped the attack on us. He seemed to understand that we had kept the most troublesome Giphias Spear away from the fleet and then defeated it.

 We forced our way to the center of the flotilla, amidst the writhing crustacean military monsters that resembled crabs and crayfish. Then we hit the largest and most luxurious ship and jump onto it.

''Excuse me. Is it correct that this is the ship that leads the entire fleet?

 I ask without hesitation at the opening.
 Even though they had pulled up to the ship and the boat, there was still quite a bit of distance between them. Since they had leapt between them, it was inevitable that many eyes would turn to them.
 Immediately, the woman who had been signaling in the middle of them tried to answer.

 She was tightly dressed in what appeared to be a women's military uniform, but with a faint hint of nobility. Her age is higher than me and Titi, and she looks to be in the twenties. Her long blonde hair was braided into a braid and gathered in a bun at the back of her head. Only the side hair is unusually long, and the bangs are neatly trimmed. His face gives him a dignified image. Checking his name from his status, I can see that he is a relative of Elmirad Siddharq. Although his level is low, he seems to be good at commanding people.

''...... I'm very grateful to you for pulling the large monster away from the fleet earlier. Indeed, this is the head of the fleet.

 The woman understood exactly what was going on and gave a calm response along with a thank you.
 First of all, I thought she was too calm. It's as if she's used to it if she's an entity like us.

 The woman's name was Chloe Siddharth.
 When they saw that she had entered the negotiations, the other crew members tore their eyes away from us. They are busy dealing with the monsters that are trying to get on board, but it's clear that they believe in Chloe Siddharth more than that.

''I am going to wipe out all the monsters now. Would you be willing to help me a little?

 I don't have time to talk about it in a distant way. I'll state it briefly.
 It was the same for Titi next to me.

I'm going to use the Great Magic of the Wind now. I'm going to use the Great Magic of the Wind and I want everyone to know not to be shaken off the ship. If you can, get caught and don't end up on the edge!
'Are you wiping out with great magic ......? Who are you--

 Naturally, the soldiers will try to make sure it's safe.
 However, they wanted to get this done quickly if possible. Even though I'm keeping an eye on them with the 《Dimension》, there's no danger of any deaths occurring at any moment.

 Therefore, I'll be taking the name of the example.
 It's a prestige. It's a good idea to use it at a time like this, or else we'd be talking about when we're going to use it.

My name is 'Ayka Wakanami Christ Eurasian Waldhusiers von Walker'. I saw you and your people on the ship's journey and I have been presumptuous enough to assist you. I was an explorer in the Eastern Confederacy, so I'm confident in my skills. Of course, if you are imitating me by going out too far, I will leave immediately. However, I would like you guys to let me help you if I can.
Oh, that rumored ......?

 Hearing the name, Chloe-san was surprised.
 That's why I - like that rumored 'hero', a strong and noble and gentle explorer, but also the 'Dancing Tournament Winner', 'Guildmaster' and 'Dragon Slayer', who looks like he's from a story! -- is intended to be a setup, and I'll smile confidently.
 I don't want to be a convenient 'hero' thing, but I'll still use it. Otherwise, it won't be worth the stress of being called 'Ayikawakanami Christ Eurasian Waldhusiers von Walker'.

'Yes. Of that rumor. So, believe me. We have a magic formula to wipe it out. Can you just give us a moment?
Or rather, if you're a child magician! Remember, it's the magic of this child, not the Kanamis! The winds of Titi, the great hero, will drive away the monsters!

 At that suggestion, which would normally be laughed at, Chloe-san ponders it with a serious expression. Then, after taking a good look at our two magical powers, she quickly begins to act.

''...... I understand. I'm proud to say that I have eyes to see. Let's trust the two of you.
Thank you for believing in me.

 It was readily accepted and I breathed a sigh of relief.
 Maybe this person who was in charge of the commanding officer was watching from a distance as we were defeating Giphias Spear.

''--all hands! A broad spectrum of wind magic is about to go off! Stop intercepting and brace for impact! All ships, tell everyone! The area of effect is the entire ocean!

 Then the order flies.
 The order is quickly passed on to everyone and propagated to each ship. Thinking that this is a group of soldiers, we too begin to prepare by ourselves. No, Titi didn't have to wait for a response, she was already building magic.

 There is no 'chanting' like when we were fighting behind the sixty-sixth layer, but it still foreshadows the great magic of an outsider using vast amounts of magic power.

''Now, shall we do the same? I'll give you the locations of all the monsters. Don't screw it up, Titi.
Who am I to argue with you? You are the most powerful magic the child has ever seen.

 Titi raises her bayonet and manipulates the wind around her.
 I extend my arm towards its back.

''--Distance Mute.''

 The instant death spell is inserted into Titi without hesitation. Titi accepts it without any doubt.

 I temporarily build a 'connection' and tap another magical information.

I connect with Titty and share the Dimension.

 Now Titi should have understood the information I got from The Dimension.
 It's a bit forced, but something close to a resonance magic is completed.

''Mm, I see it! Well, that's right... I'm going to respect Kanamin. --The wind magic "Limit Break The End Burst"!

 As soon as she understood the enemy's position, Titi released her magic power.
 First, one gust of wind blows in the waters.
 Next, a further gust of wind, from another direction, immediately blows. Then a third and fourth - gusts of wind collided with each other from every direction. More than a thousand gusts of wind intertwine, and in less than a second, a huge tornado is completed that envelops the entire ocean.

 That instantaneous manipulation of the weather caused everyone on board the ship to shout in amazement. But that's it. Screams rose, but no one was being blown away by the wind.
 Due to Titi's terrifyingly accurate magical manipulation, the tornado hit only the monsters with precision. Even though the ship doesn't move at all, the monsters attached to the ship are ripped off and lifted into the air by the tornado. At the same time, the wind takes the monster out of the water and sends it up into the sky.

 It's a brilliant magic.
 It's a good thing that the name of the magic is better than before.
 It's just barely, but it's good enough to give it a passing grade.
 However, I want more accents. For example, writing "Unrestricted, Endless Ripple Wind" and then saying "Limit Break Zealous The End Burst" was--!

Oh, your face! No more guessing! This is a child's skill, you know!

 Maybe it's because I'm temporarily making a 'connection', but Titty complained about it.
 I'm a little disappointed, but I have no choice but to stop thinking about the name of the technique.

 Or rather, there's something I need to do rather than that.
 Titi's magic is brilliant, but it's still too powerful. Little by little, the hull of the ship began to shake in the aftermath. I stopped Chloe, who was about to fall down nearby, and shouted to Titty.

'Titty, slow down a little more! The ship is turning over!

 But to which Titi retorts.

"But we can't drop all the ones stuck to the ship without this!
'We'll do the details by hand later! That's pretty much it for now!
Do not lick it! A child would have plenty of control over this level of wind!
No, I think you're vulnerable, you know that! Don't think you can control it the same way you did before!
'Mmmm! I don't think so!

 He was a bit bare, as if he didn't want to admit that he was weakening himself.
 He doesn't listen to my advice and lets the magic continue.

 I know because of the 'connection'.
 The titty guy, if someone falls into the sea, he can pick them up later - as long as they're not dead - he's thinking like an overly prehistoric (black) general.

Ha, well, you can't blame him: ......

 In the midst of the great tornado, no more everyman could stand.
 I lead Chloe to the main mast and explain to her as I hold on to her.

'...... little I'm going to go follow the dangerous parts of the ship around us. You'll have to hold on somewhere, too.
Here, in the middle of this storm? It's dangerous!
It's okay. Trust me. I'll go in a flash, and I'll clean up in a flash.

 In order to reassure her, she smiled back with a lighthearted smile, like the rumored 'hero'.
 Hearing those words, Chloe-san opened her mouth and was surprised.

 However, I can't continue to be concerned about Chloe's strange reaction. I immediately run out and jump from ship to ship in the storm.
 I already know where the person in danger in the Dimension is. With the strength and speed of my body, I grab the people who are falling off the ship one after another and carry them to safety. Occasionally, a storm will interfere with my movements and I will also fall into the sea, but I will follow up with a "default".

 I'm sure you'll find that the tornado's magic is at its best when it's completely divided between Titi attacking and me defending.

 --And a few dozen minutes later, the tornado's magic was at its best.

 Finally, a few minutes later, the tornado's magic is over.
 In an instant, the weather in the sea area changed to calm.
 As a result, all the monsters that had been soaring high into the heavens fell and were killed by the impact of hitting the sea surface one after another.

 To put it bluntly, it was quite fragile. Softly and metaphorically, it was as if a large number of tomatoes had been slammed into the concrete with great force.

 When all the monsters were reduced to crushed tomatoes, Titi raised her bayonet in the middle of the fleet and gave a victorious battle cry.

''Hahahahaha, how's that! Victory! Don't worry about it! The monsters that attacked you have all been taken out by this boy! This titty is everything!

 From his background, he's probably used to the sight of these massacres. Titi, who still has the same life-and-death outlook from a thousand years ago, is not afraid to brag about this horrific event.
 But for those who live in the warm world of today, it's a don't-so-subtle thing.

 Surrounded by blue faces, Titi continues to laugh. However, one of them, Chloe, is the only one who thanks him firmly for his superior's sense of responsibility.

''Or, thank you. 'Aika Wakanami Christ Eurasian Waldhusiers von Walker' ...... and the Great Wizard of the Wind.

 Hearing those words, Titi felt better and took a step closer to her.

There's no bother. And you should call him "My Lord the Brave" instead of "Wizard.
'...... is, yes. Thank you, brave man.

 Chloe nodded and stepped back.
 That's when Titty finally noticed.

'Oh, hey there ......? You're a little scared ......?
That's a lot of work. You'll see.

 I coldly retort to Titi, who is in a cold sweat.

'Um, is that person a friend of the 'Aikawakanami Christ Eurasian Waldhusiers von Walker' ......?

 Chloe asks with something like trepidation.

'Yes. I'm sure it's safe to say that he's a sweet guy, despite his appearance. And if this guy does something stupid, I'll take care of it, so you can rest assured. Also, please use Kanami for me. I don't like that long name.
'Okay, Kanami-sama ....... I'll believe the words of that famous 'hero'.

 He's an oddly understanding person.
 If his last name is Siddharth, I thought he was a proud man, but apparently not so much. Chloe and I smile, and we shake hands as well.

 However, Titi is the only one in the back who doesn't seem to be convinced.

''Kanamin is the main one and Doe is treated like a sub ......? All we fought were children, so why?
Well, that's all. And they saw you punch that big guy in the face. I'm surprised you could understand what you're going through.

 I was in the same situation as Titi is in now, when I went on a boat trip before.
 Seeing her make the same mistake makes me feel a little nostalgic.

'But unlike a thousand years ago, not a single ship has fallen down! I want more praise for the child who worked so hard to take it easy!

 A thousand years ago, they were said to have defeated the enemy while dropping one or two of their allies' ships. It's no wonder they called him 'Mad King' and 'Demon King'.
 However, if this is the case, I'm sure it will make a lot of noise until tomorrow morning, so I pat its head by Titi's side.

I'm sure it will be noisy until tomorrow morning, so I pat its head with Titi's side. I'm sure you'll be able to find it. Great, great.
Hm? Mmm, just Kanami. Well, we'll have to put up with it this time.

 Normally, this would be an act of mockery, but Titi, who was of young mental age, was pleased with it and reluctantly lowered her pent-up energy.
 He crossed his arms and convinced me with his mouth agape.

'If there's a next time, I'll do the big one. We've saved everyone this time, so let's call it good.
I can't help it. --Next time. The next time you'll be pampered. Good morning. Someone's attacking us. Good morning.

 He hasn't given up on his heroic activities yet.
 He kept his eyes peeled and searched for his next prey.

 It was a bit of a joke, but Chloe-san, who was close by, let out a small scream of "Hee". To Titi, it may have been just a slight battle cry, but to an everyman, it seemed to make him cower.

 If you look closely, everyone around them is frightened of the 'Demon King''s descent.
 Thinking about whether it would be better to teach that to Titi, I finally check the situation with 《Dimension》.
 There are some injuries, but not a single person has been killed.
 Relieved by this result, I thought to myself about what to do in the future.
