225 Chapter Four   going abroad





 It was supposed to be a boat ride from the city of Mishinga to the Kermes Beast Kingdom, so several knights, including Cain, and deacons sent by the church were gathered there.
 The ships anchored in the harbor were medium-sized sailing ships, and although Hagnes explained that there were also large sailing ships, because of the urgency of the situation, they visited the Esfort Kingdom in a fast-moving medium-sized ship.
 The foodstuffs and other items purchased from the city of Mishinga had already been brought into the ship, and they were just waiting for its departure.

''Cain-dono, make sure you come back safely.
Yes, of course.

 At the harbor, Count Legant and Cain, who was also the lord of Mishinga, shook hands forcefully.
 It was actually faster to fly through the air than to go by boat, but when Cain alone headed there, the Kermes Beast Kingdom side couldn't handle it, so he had to accompany Hagnes.
 Cain finished his greeting and boarded the ship.

''Schuppah!''

 The ship slowly begins to move forward as the ropes tied to the harbor are untied and the sails are set.
 This was the first time in Cain's life that he had ever been on a ship, but he had been on one many times in his previous life, so he had no fear. However, the knights and church officials who accompanied him were terrified.
 In the midst of all this, the ship proceeded to the ocean.

 Cain was guided by Hagnes to the highest class stateroom.

'This will be Lord Cain's room. I would like to have a meeting with you soon, so I will show you around.

 He walked after Hagnes and dived through the door to a large conference room. A few people were already seated, and as Cain took his seat, a man who appeared to be the captain of the ship began to speak, pointing to a nautical chart.

''We're going to follow this route according to this chart. So, on our way to the Kermes Beast Kingdom, depending on the condition of the wind, we will arrive in about a week.

 Since this world is dominated by sailing ships, the ships will not go on without the wind. However, since the war had begun and there was an urgent need for it, Cain made a proposal.

'I can use magic. I can use wind magic and put the wind on the sails and we will arrive there faster.
''I appreciate the suggestion, but only court mages or high-level adventurers can use magic for such a long time. For a beginner or intermediate wizard, an hour of wind would cause them to run out of magic power.

 The captain says in denial at Cain's words. He understands that wind magic is actually useful, but he knows that it cannot be maintained for a long time.
 However, Cain is not a normal amount of magic. Sleep was necessary, but it was easy to sustain a moderate amount of magic for long periods of time.

'No problem then. I'll send the wind in your sails. I can't do it day and night, but now is the time to make the most of it. Let me help you to the best of my ability.

 Cain's mind was filled with the summoned heroes. The longer the battle against the brave men of incomparable ability was prolonged, the more tired the Kermes Beast Kingdom would surely become.

''Lord Cain, is it alright? If the wind is good, I think we can shorten our arrival time. As for the rudder, the co-captain will adjust it, so as long as you keep the wind in your sails, you should have no problem.

 When the conversation was over, Cain went up on deck. It is true that the wind is blowing, but it is not that strong, so the ship was moving slowly.
 Cain used his magic to create the wind and apply it to the sails.
 However, it is Cain's magic. It couldn't be the same as an ordinary wizard. The speed of the ship gradually increased. As the speed of the ship increased, a large curling spray of water flowed into the ship. The shaking was also becoming more and more intense. The ship's hull began to creak, and the assistant captain, who was operating the ship, shouted impatiently.

The ship is going to collapse at this speed!
I understand. Well then.

 Cain put his hand on the deck and poured the magic into the ship.

"Matter enhancement.

 The hardened ship ceased its earlier creaking sound. Satisfied, Cain resumed casting his magic on the sails. The vice-captain raised his eyebrows, but he reaffirmed that his top priority was to reach the Kermes Beast Kingdom in the shortest possible time and turned his gaze ahead.

 ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

 After the sun had set, Cain had finished his duties and was enjoying a cup of tea opposite Hagnes in the guest room he was assigned.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. You've been going on until evening and you don't show any signs of fatigue.
No, no, I was desperate to help the Kermes Beast Kingdom as soon as I could.

 In fact, the sailors who were used to riding ships on a regular basis were fine, but the knights and church officials who accompanied them from the Kingdom of Esfort had all suffered from seasickness, until Cain had cast a recovery spell on them when they took a break.
 Even Hagnes, who was used to sailing ships to some extent, was stuck in her room due to seasickness, so Cain was in a hurry to cast a recovery spell on her.

'It looks like we'll arrive sooner than I expected. I spoke with the captain earlier, and he said that at this rate, we'll arrive in two days if we give ourselves plenty of time.
'I see. ....... I just wish I could arrive as soon as possible. The more people who can use recovery magic, the more people we can help.

 By the time Hagnes went to the Esfort Kingdom to help, there were already many casualties. That was also due to the brave men. It was unclear from what world they had been summoned from, but Cain knew that the brave men who had succeeded Yuya should not be going to war between countries.

 The next day, the ship was still going briskly from the morning thanks to magic, and before the sun had set, the continent was visible in front of their vision.

''I see the Kermes Beast Kingdom! I've been here for two days! Don't let up until the end.
「「「「 oh! 」」」」

 The sailor replied to the vice-captain's call.
 It had been planned for a week or so, but thanks to Cain's efforts, they would arrive safely in the Kermes Beast Kingdom in two days.
