Now I'm going to slay pirates, but where are they really?
　In order to gather information, I decided to head to the bridge of the ship first.

　Fortunately, I already knew the captain.
　Before we left the ship, he came from the other side to greet us.
　It seems that the captain's family is located in Surie, and he thanked me very much for protecting the city.

　Now we go to the bridge, where many passengers are already crowding in.
　They were shouting hysterically, demanding an explanation of the situation.

'How big are these pirates!
'I hope this ship is okay!
'When will we reach King's Landing?

　The passengers' voices sound more like screams than questions.
　They were probably panicking in their anxiety.

　The captain and crew were all on the bridge, but they didn't seem to be able to handle it well.

　Now, what to do?
　I tried to talk to the captain, but there were too many onlookers.

　Just as I thought ......, one of the passengers looked at me and spoke to me out of the blue.
　He is a well-dressed man.
　He was a well-dressed man, probably a merchant or something.

''I'm sorry to ask you this, but are you not the Dragonslayer?''
...... Yeah, well,
To tell the truth, I was staying in the city of Onen until recently. I was not expecting the famous Dragonslayer to be on board this ship. That's why we don't have to worry about pirates coming to our ship!　Hahaha!

　The man's voice was quite loud and apparently the other passengers could hear him as well.
　All of the surrounding gazes were turned to me at once.

　Hmm.
　I don't want to attract any attention.

　For now, let's just get this thing over with.

"Captain, do you have a minute?
'What?　Oh, ha, yes!

　The captain turned to me in a hurry as I called out to him.

'Hey, what is it?　Dragonslayer!

　I don't have to be that awed.
　It's okay.
　Let's cut to the chase.

"Captain, you said the ship being attacked by pirates was owned by the Scarlet Merchant Company.
Yes, sir!　That's what we hear on the magic radio!
'Can you tell me in which direction the pirates are?　...... I have a bit of a connection to the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce. I'm going to go help out a bit.

　I said that, and right next to me, the man from earlier said, "Oh! I was surprised.

'This is dependable!　I'm sure the slayer will be able to wipe out all pirates in a heartbeat.

　I don't know if it will be soon or not, but I'm hoping to get this done as soon as possible.

　By the way, it seems that the name "Dragon Slayer" has spread much more widely than I thought.
　The panic of the passengers had begun to subside before long.

"If that "Dragonslayer" is here, we can rest easy.
I feel sorry for the pirates. How dare you cause a scene when the Dragon-slayer is here!
《Dragonslayer》. Can you sign it when you get back? ......?

　I wasn't expecting to be asked for an autograph, but at any rate, it's a relief now that the commotion has calmed down.
　The captain thanked me tremendously.

Thank you, thank you very much. ''Thank you so much. If it wasn't for 《Dragon Slayer》-sama's presence, the worst thing that could have happened would have been a riot: ......!

　After that I found out where the pirates were and left the bridge.
　Then I activated [Auto Mapping] and opened a map of the ship, in my head, in my mind.

　By the way, I leveled up greatly in the fight against the tyrannical dragon and gained several sub skills.
　One of them is called 【Personal Marker】.
　This is something that displays the location of any person's location on the map.

　Currently, Iris and Lily were registered in the marker.
　The two of them were very close together.
　He continued down the hallway and down the stairs.
　Just near the ship's restaurant, I ran into Iris and Lily.

'Oh, ko!　Did you hear the announcement on the ship earlier?
Of course.
"Hmmm, I see.

　Iris nodded as if she understood something.

'Pirate slaying, you're going to go, right?'
You know what I'm talking about.
Of course not. I've known Ko for a long time.
I haven't seen you in less than a month.
'If you ask me, you're right. I've been feeling like we've been together for a year or so because of all the incidents that have been going on lately and the density. ......

　It's true that the density is high.
　This time, the pirates did appear.

It's not a good idea to go to the beach, but it's a good idea to go to the beach. Or should I come with you?
No, you'll have to wait on the boat.
All right. Have a good day.
"...... Um, Mr. Koe,

　Lily, who had been silent all that time, opened her mouth here.

''Iris-san, I was lost just now.
...... Is that right, Iris?
Ugh. ......

　Iris's expression froze with a jolt.

'Nah, what are you talking about, I wonder ......?'
Are you sure?

　When I looked straight at her, Iris quickly looked away.

''Ugh, I didn't expect Lily-chan to tell you: ......''
I'm an airhead, you know.
If you could read the air, I wish you would have kept your mouth shut: ......
"I read it and tried to ignore it.
Terrible!　That's terrible, Lily!

　Iris mimics wailing.
　I'm glad they both seem to be getting along so well.
　I could watch them forever, but I have some work to do.

"Thanks for the update, Lily. Iris, as I've declared, you're going to listen to me when I leave.
Ugh, yeah ....... I'm at Ko's mercy .......

　For some reason, Iris looks down as if she's embarrassed.
　I don't know what you're imagining, but it probably won't live up to your expectations.


　* * *


　Now that we know where the pirates are, it's time to leave.
　I'm going to use ...... for transportation, and I'm going to use the mechanical dragon that I just created.

　However, if we make it appear near the ship, it will cause an unnecessary commotion.

...... Shall we set the starting point a little further back?

　I activated 【Spatial Leap】.

　The warp point is a few hundred meters back from the ship.
　My body is thrown out to sea.

　If this is the case, I will fall into the sea.
　I make the mechanical dragon appear from the item box.

''Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

　I landed on the back of the roaring mechanical dragon.
If I activate [Tactical Support], a chat-like window opens in my brain.


　＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

　Mechanical Dragon: My Lord, your orders.

　Ko: Go to the northwest. Full speed.

　Mechanical Dragon: Yes, my Lord!　That's it, go!

　＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿


　It seemed a bit mechanical when they used the word launch instead of departure.

　The mechanical dragon began to fly at a tremendous speed, but the ride was very stable.
　This is because the mechanical dragon had a magical barrier around it.
　Thanks to this, the wind didn't blow against it and it felt as if it was flying in an airplane.

　Soon, two ships came into view in the distance.
　A slightly old boat was chasing after the beautiful one.

'You're just in time. I guess.

　The cleaner one is probably the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce ship.
　There is smoke coming up from the left side, and the speed is not that great.
　It may have been hit by a cannon.
　That's why the pirate ship was catching up with us.

　Of course I'm not going to overlook it.
　I ordered the mechanical dragon to lower its altitude.

　I opened the item box and changed my equipment.
　The weapon is the Lightning Cage Hand and the armor is the Diabolos Armor.
With the "Physical Damage Blocking B+", it's possible to prevent the impact of landing.

Okay, let's go.

　Jumping down from the mechanical dragon.
Thanks to the [Mastery of Dexterity], I didn't make a mistake in my landing spot.

　I landed on the deck of the pirate ship ...... trying to get off, but the momentum of the fall smashed through the floor.
　Apparently, this ship is even more ragged than I imagined.

　I landed in a small room below deck.
　Right in front of me, a middle-aged man with a beard was hunched over.

Hi, hi, hi, hi!　What the hell?　What the hell's going on?!

　The room is decorated with flags and maps.
　It has the atmosphere of the captain's office.

　Could this middle-aged man be the leader of the pirates?
　I approached him slowly.

"Oh, I'm the former A-ranked mercenary, Mr. Dasan!　f*ck, no!　Get away from me!　Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

　The man who called himself Dasan pulls out his long sword and slashes at me with a scream.
　Sweet.

　I didn't dodge the slash and caught it with my right basket hand.

''Gunununu ......!　Nah, what a hard basket case: ......!
That's not all.

　The lightning cage, as the name implies, can unleash a bolt of lightning.

'Let's have you not move for a while,'
Gaggle-gah-gaggle-gah!　Geez, ......!

　A bolt of lightning flowed through the sword and into Dasan's body.
　

　Kagome was granted 《Lightning Paralysis S+》.
　With this, Dasan couldn't move for half a day.
　He didn't mean to kill her.
　I need to find out why they attacked the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce's ship, because I need to find out.

　The other pirates would hear the commotion and come over.
There are many ways to attack the Lightning Cage, so we'll have to try them all.

　As if in response to my will, Kagome let loose a beehive of sparks.
