Is that... dolphin?

Is the dolphin being chased by something...?

Something seems to be following us from behind.

There's a big dorsal bile standing on the water... like a giant shark in a movie...

Are you a shark...?

Is there a shark in the river...?

No... there are dolphins, and no wonder there are sharks.

Whatever it is, it's a different world...

"That's a river dolphin. The river shark is after me. If I don't help you, you might get eaten!

That's what Nia screamed.

"If I could eat it, I'd feel sorry for you!

"I just have to help ~"

Lillii and Chappie were about to jump into the river, so I stopped in a hurry.

"It's hard to fight in the water, so stay here!

That's what I told the two of them, and I sent Nia my gaze.

Nia nodded contentedly as she waited and immediately flew off the ship.

When Nia reached the overhead of the shark in a high-speed flight, she took out the "Ruyi wheel rod" and set it vertically toward the water surface.

And through the magic, the 'Ruyi wheel rod' stretched long down, piercing the water!

The ultra-speed, stretched "Ruyi wheel rod" seemed to pierce the head of a giant shark and cause it to die instantly.

The "Ruyi wheel rod", which remains stretched, remains pierced by the shark's head.

There the "Spirit Oul" hoo flew away and grabbed the "Ruyi Wheel Stick" and moved it out.

Apparently, they'll bring us to the ship.

I've approached the ship, but I can't let it on board because it's a giant shark with more than ten meters.

I decided to retrieve it to "Wave Storage" once.

Sharks can be used in a variety of processes.

Maybe I can eat a shark fin......

Well, we'll take it slow later.

To us like that, the dolphin they were chasing approached me and put my face out of the water.

White beautiful dolphins!

Something's so cute.

Nia's story says that in this world the big river is inhabited by a dolphin called a river dolphin.

It seems rare to have river sharks, but it seems to mean that river sharks also live in such a large river.

"Queue, queue, queue"

The dolphins say thank you.

So cute.

We all waved at the dolphins.

The dolphins jumped out of the water happy, spinning in the air.

It's like a dolphin show in the aquarium.

When the dolphins approach the ship again, they show their faces, and they don't really try to get away from us.

"This kid... don't you want to be one of them...?

Nia said that abruptly.

"Do you want to be one of us?

With Nia's words, I asked unexpectedly.

Then the dolphins look happy...

"Queue, queue"

I cried twice and jumped off the water.

What if...

When I checked the list of 'Serviced creatures (Tamed)'...... they were still one of us.

(Thank you for helping us where we are in danger. I'm a benefactor of my life. Let me repay you)

The dolphins have spoken in readings.

Being one of us made reading sense.

Are you hurt? I didn't have to be forced to be one of them because I helped...)

That's what I said.

(No, this is on some kind of edge. It's an inevitable encounter. I knew right away that you were strong and warm. Please join us)

When the dolphins said so, they moved more than half their bodies out of the water, lowering their heads into small pieces.

It's really like a dolphin show......

(I don't mind being one of them, but I hope you live here as freely as ever. Are you alone? Don't you have company?)

(Yes, I live with my people. in the nearby tributary river, where we live)

Don't you have to go back to your people?

(Yes, I think I'll go back. Could you come with me, if you don't mind? I think my people will be happy)

Dolphins have said that with crushed eyes.

"That sounds interesting. Let's go!

"Lillii wants to go to Mr. Dolphin!

"Chappie wants to go play too ~"

Nia, Lillii and Chappie said that and jumped.

Well, I'm on a test voyage, and I don't have a destination, okay...

So the dolphins led the way and proceeded with the ship.

It would be inconvenient for the dolphins not to have a name, so I gave it a name.

The name became Queer.

I put it on with Lily and Chappie.

A little south of the river, it was connected to a river of tributaries on the east side.

This river is about to merge into the Great River, so entering the river will be counter-current.

Even as a ship's operational test, it would be just fine.

He changed the direction of the ship while manipulating the sail well and entered the tributary.

The wind is still weak, so I asked Lynn to wind up with a magic wand to increase her propulsion.

A little back down the river, it became like a smaller canyon with cliffs soaring on both sides.

There's a big hole in the cliff on the north side, on the left from us in that canyon.

Looks like river water is pouring in.

I guess it has a cave-like structure......

I was somewhat concerned and asked Queer about it.

(It's a cave over there, and there's water running inside. It was originally our playground. But people have been living there for months, and I can't go play. I'm a bad person. We know)

Queer answered my question like that.

Bad people...... lived there for months...

This is... maybe... around!

It would be the Ajit of Ten and Eight Nine "Righteous Claw Marks".

It's the only place you can get in from the river below this canyon.

The slimes we're looking for from the ground, we can't find them.

If I hadn't come into this tributary, it would have been a place I would never have known.

That's why I've never been able to find it.

Maybe the cave itself in the river was some kind of ruin.

I asked Cue what was going on inside.

(Once in the cave, there is quite a lot of space and plenty of water. Even this ship can be fully admitted. And there's quite a bit of land space without water, and it seems to continue deep. We can only get to where the water is)

If there is a lot of ground space, it would definitely be Azito.

You should carefully explore what's going on inside here.

Lynn from Stable Infiltration Personnel "Emperor Slime" is here.

"Lynn, can I ask you again?

"Yeah. Okay. Good luck for the rub!

That's what Lynn said, bouncing twice before jumping into the water.

And I gently touched the queen.

The next moment, Lynn, she became queer.

Using the 'pervert' of the newly acquired 'race-specific skills', it seems to have become a 'river dolphin'.

As a dolphin, they infiltrate as far as they can swim.

From there, it looks like we'll go back to slime and explore the ground.

We were not well alerted to the presence of the ship, so we headed straight back to where the dolphins lived.

Just in case, near the cave, he left a 'Spirit Oul' hu.

To keep an eye on the sky and from the top of the cliff and get them to respond to unforeseen circumstances.

It's Lynn's followers.
