We haven't visited Fleur's embassy in a week and explained to Kengo and the others that we've been sourcing equipment that has been granted 'protection of aquatic habitat'.
Then, in no time, an underwater exploration team was to be formed.
It's a big party with a total of 38 people, more than Reid.
Apparently, apart from the 30 + 3 gear we brought, how many Earthlings (players) can dive into the ocean?
You're the lucky guy who's been getting his own gear with 'protection of aquatic habitat' for a long time now, and some of the top jobs derived from piracy.
This is appreciated because it is also desirable to move as many people as possible to counter the fishermen.
And this underwater exploration team includes both the Wolves and Meermill forces, as well as their forces.
Although there is more Wolves momentum, there is no such thing as just one or the other.
Three days after these groups of Wolsmee Mill mixed teams were formed.
To perform the underground labyrinth, we set foot in the ocean.
Thanks to the "protection of aquatic habitats," you can breathe even in the water.
Plus, I get a firm foot on the bottom of the ocean.
Although there is a slight sense of resistance to the movement, this will allow you to move almost as usual.
Well, it's a pre-checked matter around here.
"... I didn't know Gardia's guy was getting so big"
When I started exploring the sea like that, a little while later.
The van next to me shrugged as I watched Gardia.
"Oh, I'm surprised too"
Growing up means staying that way.
Me, the van, and Mary, Phil, and Sakya are on the back of Vestified Gardia, traveling in the ocean.
Because it was big enough to get that many people on board.
Gardia is far bigger now than we are, even in our seats.
I didn't know you were going to be this big when you grew up.
"That's so comfortable. That's the Beast King."
"Gargaloo!"
The ringing, which used to be untied, also sounds rife now.
It's emotional how such a little girl grows to this point.
You're a little too big, I don't even think so.
"... even so. We got mixed up with the Marine Survey team, and it's really good for you? Sin?"
Hissohisso was called out from the van.
This guy, and Mary, are also invited to participate in this exploration.
When I recommended these guys when I elected them, they went through scrutiny and they did.
I guess that means our say was the biggest because we've bought a ton of equipment needed to explore the ocean.
Nevertheless.
"Come on? Isn't that nice?
No van, no merry, never weak.
The level seems to be 99 for both of us, and enough, we can talk about our fight.
"Something seems fisherman friendly, a little distracting... and the average level of this team seems to be 103"
"As low as a little below average level, what do you mean?
"Well, maybe it does..."
Until Merry, he says something slightly weak.
Doesn't sound like it, both of you.
I thought you were on this expedition with my connections, and it looks like you're constricting.
"I didn't recommend you to the exploration team because I'm close to you guys, did I?
Van and Mary are strong.
They're never the kind of guys who get their feet together.
That's why I recommended these guys.
"But I guess it's a little awkward for Atashi and the rest of us to join aside from the main force of the [Meermill Coalition]"
"[Meermill Union]?
"It's the name of the biggest guild on the Meermill continent, to which Atashi and the others belong."
Is there such a thing?
Meermill, I didn't get much information about the momentum, so I've never heard of it either.
"What kind of guys are the main forces of that [Meermill Coalition]?
With interest, I decided to ask Mary and the others.
"The main constituency of the [Meermill Union] is mostly high school students."
"High school students... who are my age are the dominant ones"
"You will. I don't know what it's like in Wolves, but the most motivated layer in Meermill is the high school group."
"Without a group of college students or a group of social workers?
"Right. For some reason this time, I don't think one of the high school students has joined us."
"Ho..."
When electing members, there was nothing like intentionally hubbling the Meermill momentum (or asking Kengo not to do that), so their non-participation should be voluntary.
I'd like to see you when I get a chance.
It's a shame you're not on this investigation team, but I just want to see what they look like.
"... leave that story aside. Because you recommended us, let's change our minds here and dedicate ourselves to discovering the underground labyrinth, Mary."
And, if I was honking my chest thinking about the rival candidates I haven't seen yet, the van has been doing the talking track fix.
Looks like you went back to talking a lot earlier, Conne.
If it looks like this, does the van finally care about it?
"Oh, right. I think Sin relied on you again."
"That's the intention, both of you."
I'd be happier if you were motivated, even as I invited you.
I want these guys to stick around and do some exploration.
"............! Five minutes from now, there's a fisherman coming to us fast!
If we were interacting like that, Kengo, who was ahead of us, shouted up.
Five minutes later.
In "Forecasting the Future," you must have seen it happen.
Let's keep our minds peeled so we can fight whenever we want.
By the way, Kengo is riding alone on the back of bestialized Garcia.
Garcia now has a physique that makes old Gardia a little smaller, so one passenger is the limit.
But to take full advantage of Kengo, one of our most powerful class attackers, is arguably the best delicacy.
When it's battle time, let's have a big run around the battlefield.
I'd love to put a scratch on the leader not to be on the front line, but, well, it's Kengo.
By the way, when Gardia, Garcia, what's wrong with Gardina, she can be on fire and crawl.
The fire is just behind us, and they don't take part in exploration or combat.
He came with us to enjoy the view of the sea.
It's amazing, but he's got a lot of help from us.
Let's meditate our eyes on this much.
".................. mmm! It's an enemy attack!
Qatar, who wanted to look around us as a scout, contacted me like that.
Looks like the fishmongers are just around the corner.
"Oh, there he is."
As Kengo predicted, five minutes later, he appeared like a fisherman.
Fish people are in the shape of people, but they have fins or urchins, and their skin is also watery.
Breathing also seems to be basically Ella breathing, so the body seems to be made quite different from ours.
About 10 such fishermen are trying to get close to us.
Even so, that was as far away as I could tell that I could see critically.
Around hardly getting closer to us, you're apparently exploring how things are going here.
"Oh."
As I was doing an analysis of the situation, the flock of fishermen began to turn back on clams.
…… You're going home... "
He has a look like Phil puts a question mark on his head.
I guess you find the behavior of the fishmongers inexplicable.
"Maybe I went to get some company. Think there's not enough people to fight us."
"... I see"
Sakya answered the question.
Then Phil fell to his heart, and the wrinkle between his eyebrows disappeared.
I was thinking the same thing about Sakuya.
From the fishmonger side, you think it's easy to crush us, not sea creatures.
However, there is still a fourfold difference in numbers.
Just in case, I won't make a bad attack until I have the same number of heads as us or more... and so on.
"What do you care? The quality of the Fishman's army looks good."
I can't do things that are unscrupulous only by taking advantage of the local interests.
The fishermen who were so close just now seem to be definitely going to get rid of us, even in the ocean, without ever being alarmed.
"You guys! Those guys earlier are just scouts! You scared the hell out of us, or you think you're wrong!
Kengo also puts in a drink so we don't get alarmed.
Shit, we might need to raise the alert level another step.
Another 30 minutes have elapsed since those events.
In the meantime, we were not only traveling, but also fighting against the monsters of the sea that struck us.
Naturally, but in that short time, we could not discover the underground labyrinth.
Finding an underground labyrinth from within this vast ocean will still take considerable time.
"! Finally here we are! There's a huge crowd of fishermen!
Kengo screamed.
The content was what we had hoped for.
A large group of fishermen is coming.
I guess this means they're pretty serious over there.
"... Fine. I don't care how many of them come, they're all gonna do it."
"I'll show you what Atashi and the others are capable of!
Bang and Mary are highly motivated.
Of course, me and the other members.
Call me from anywhere, Fishman.
We fight with our feet on the bottom of the ocean, whereas you will swim and attack freely underwater, but you will not lose.
…………
When another five minutes had passed since Kengo's warning, a large group of fishermen finally appeared.
Look, there seems to be over a hundred of them.
I guess he's been rallying fishmonger soldiers around here from one end to the other.
"To tell you the truth, our aim is only to explore the underground labyrinth. It's not a war with the fishmongers."
Kengo placed an order on us as we saw a large group of fishermen approaching.
"Of course there will be if you have to, but as much as possible, don't kill. Fight with policy. Just show them what we can do."
Kengo is right.
We dived into the ocean to explore the underground labyrinth.
Fighting the fishmongers is the only way to go.
If we can avoid a fight, we want to avoid it as much as possible.
Because I want to avoid leaving the roots of evil and persisting in disturbing the Labyrinth attack.
Then, for us, an indestructible victory would be the best outcome.
And getting that result isn't that hard for us right now.
"We can fight just as well in the water as on the ground. Show him our strength, make him look good!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
The air on the field has been booming as well.
Well... then let's get into combat too.
"Come on, let's go! Fish people! This is our power!
That's how we started the battle against a large group of imminent fishermen.
