Golden Experience

Episode 445: No Exceptions

On Rare's orders, the ship prepared by the Moitier lord was too large for the four of us to ride.

< Normally, a boat is not just for four people. Normal ships would require a lot of sailors.

Sugar answered calmly.

She is now wearing a white robe like Rare's, a neat hood, and a mask and cloth wrapped around her mouth.

For humans, they are tall and look good because of the protrusions, but no one of this size will ever be around. It stands out, but at first glance it doesn't seem to be a monster.

"Oh, I see. That's right. I don't know how to move a ship."

"Isn't it faster for everyone to swim together?

Envy asks strangely. She is a white robe of the same design as Rare.

And Vinea the White Robe answered.

"I can't swim so fast. Me and Mr. Blanc."

"Excuse me! Don't tell me you can't swim, okay?

"Can Blanc swim?

"I've never swimmed before, so I don't know!

"Sure! Me too! All right, let's try it together!

Stop it. I was provided with a vessel of normal size because of its habitability and because it does not seem suspicious from the surroundings. You really need to take a break on your journey, and you won't be able to do that on a canoe. And even though there are no fishermen, if you're going to row out into the ocean with a canoe, it's probably something from the surroundings.

It is already quite suspicious at the time of the four suspicious robes. I don't think it's too late just to repair the ship now, but it might be better than doing nothing.

And three of them are matching white robes. Inevitably, only one Bran with a different color became prominent, and I felt like I was focusing on what I thought was the head of this group.

Someone called out to such a suspicious group.

"─ ─ But maybe Septum! Dear...? Is that it?"

And it came with Septum.

Officials shouldn't have to ask either, and only irrelevant NPCs or players can call Septum.

It was the young fisherman who spoke openly, but the black vest was strangely luxurious. Even considering the LP seen in Bran's "true eye", it is clearly a disproportionate piece of equipment.

It would have been good for Rare to call out to Septum, but the white robe rushed to Vinea without wondering about the three of them.

There is a difference in height between the three. By deciding that the closest vineyard is rare, you've actually seen a rare one. Vinea has a similar face.

Is it possible that this person knows Rare?

"Septem-sama, during this time... Oh, my chest is getting stronger than before."

"Evil Smite."

"Ah."

As soon as the young man spoke, Vinea blew 'dark magic' from the young man's neck.

The young man disappears in the light just before he falls. Looks like he was a player. I'm glad I didn't have to "appraise."

"Ki, kyaaaahh!

"Wow! I'm a murderer!

There are a lot of people in the harbor town.

If you suddenly use magic to blow people's heads off in such a place, this is obvious.

< ─ ─ I can't help it. Ladies and gentlemen, board the ship. Envy, please.

Okay, that's it.

Blanc boarded the boat in a hurry from Sugar, and Envy took off his robe and left it in Sugar and jumped into the sea.

After a little while, the ship moves on its own.

The rope that was enclosed for mooring was cut off at some point.

The ship quickly speeded up and as soon as I saw it, the land went farther away.

If you go this far, no one will come after you anymore.

─ ─ I'm sorry, Mr. Bran. I left in a hurry.....

"No, that's fine. But why suddenly? You knew her?

Ask Vinea.

For some reason, Sugar apologized, but the panic was caused by Vinea suddenly killing a young man.

I didn't mean to blame it, but I was concerned that Sugar didn't feel like scolding Vinea either.

"No, I don't know anyone at all. That vest made me feel strangely nostalgic."

Probably, the thread used for that vest was the boss's thread. I'm glad I blew it off with my head. If you were aiming for the torso, could Vinea have killed you instantly...?

"Eh!? I thought you knew her!

Maybe so. But I had no choice.

Killing that young man in Sugar seems to be the default.

Well, that's right. If I knew you, I wouldn't have told you to take it easy. "

Vinea also nodded.

I can't see the story.

"Um, what do you mean?

I'm talking about the youth earlier. My boss told me not to kill anyone who talked about Vinea's chest after seeing her face.

"Ah...."

I understand.

I understand, but I kept my mouth shut because I didn't want Bran to be killed.

The sea breeze strokes Blanc's cheek.

Nothing blocks the sun. The sea is a tough environment for vampires, but they are used to it with some notorious tombmarks.

Both Sugar and Vinea have already undressed their robes. They are not particularly vulnerable to sunlight. I wonder if it is easier to move without a robe. Needless to say, Vigna was wearing it with her wings rounded and corners pushed in.

Blanc is the only one who still wears a robe.

Although the voyage was rough at the time of departure, the voyage was surprisingly smooth afterwards.

Even though the wind is only blowing from the direction of travel, the ship runs through the sea as it sinks.

Well, when I looked closely, I didn't see any sails hanging.

"By the way, how does this ship work? He said he needed a lot of sailors, but after all, we're the only ones on board. And Envy?

Envy is pulling this ship and swimming. I've been told to increase or decrease the ship to the point where it won't break, but it's possible to speed it up even faster.

That's why Envy jumped into the sea when he sailed.

"That's right! That's nice and easy! I have to reward you later.

Ah, but are you okay? "

What's going on?

"That's what happens when you're moving a ship like that. Aren't you getting caught in a big vortex or being attacked by a big monster? Shrimp or crab...."

I have no idea what you're talking about, but I haven't heard of a large crustacean monster off the Great Aegean Sea. Even if you were, you wouldn't be Envy's enemy. I can't say anything about the vortex.

"If there's no shrimp monster, it's fine! I'm sure the shrimp monster was creating a whirlpool."

Is that so? Mr. Blanc knows everything.

The sailboat with the Blancs on board proceeded to the sea at a modest speed and stopped when the sun was dark.

I don't know if it's really stopped because it's on the sea, but it probably stopped because of the wind that was stroking my cheeks.

Immediately afterwards, Envy came up from the sea.

"─ ─ That's all for today. There are only miscellaneous fish around here, so it should be safe. It is."

"Good day, Envy! You want something to eat? There's apples!

"I'll take it. It is."

When she handed over the apple, Envy opened her mouth incredibly wide and ate it with one mouth.

I swallowed it without chewing, and found that the round apple slowly fell down my throat.

"... if you have teeth, I think you should chew them well. It seems bad for digestion."

"Should I chew it? Do you bite and eat too, Mr. Blanc? Does the Lord bite and eat?

"Yes, I have fangs! Well, maybe it wasn't a fang to eat apples. Besides, Rare probably chews and eats a lot. Rare would cut it small before putting it in her mouth."

I wouldn't wear it on an apple. I've never seen it, and I can't imagine it.

"Then I will. Thank you very much."

Bran thought Rare's family was all different.

It seems that Sugar will turn the clock during the night. Looks like he was taking a nap while he was on the move. Swarm monsters sleep for a very short period of time and are suitable for replacement staff.

Bran entered the assigned cabin and logged out with confidence.

Unlike players who can't wake up easily when they sleep (log out), NPC women will wake up if they are asleep and if there is anything unusual, and even if they say they are on the sea with no escape, there are three disaster classes and they don't think they can handle it.

The next morning.

Blanc logged in and woke up on the deck, and the body of the scaled person was piled up.

"Eh, what is this...."

Good morning, Mr. Bran. It's a nice day, too.

"That's right... No, no, what is this? You mean breakfast? Well, I can only eat fruit, because the doctor has stopped the catfish, so that's a little bit like that. I can't help but prepare my own meal..."

No way. I won't let Blanc eat anything like this.

These are the people who attacked this ship last night. In Envy's story, it was a weed hiding under the sea in this area.... >

For some reason, Envy, who was seated on deck, took over the words as an excuse.

"... there's no doubt that I'm a fish man hiding in this area. I'm pretty sure they're junk fish."

I know that. If you don't live around here, you won't be attacked by such a large crowd, and if you look at the fish, you can tell. That's not what I'm talking about, it's why they attacked me.

"Isn't that what this is about?

I heard that people can't cross the open ocean because powerful monsters attack them.

In that case, it would be natural to be attacked.

No, Master Blanc. When these men attacked, I dealt with them, but they apparently came after Envi. Probably saw Envy swimming during the day. I thought I was resting in the evening, and it seemed like I was coming up to the boat to assault the sleeper.

If they were targeting Envi, they would be Envi's acquaintances.

But it's not calm to suddenly attack. Did you trample down the debt or something?

"I wish I'd attacked the ship if I was going to attack you in bed. Why did you come all the way up here...."

"... if the ship is attacked, I'll wake up before it hits me. The only way to attack my sleep is to sneak into the ship without vibrating it."

That's what I think. After the first wave, I woke up Vinea and Envy, and I was in the sea and I was on guard, so I didn't take care of it...

Envy, if there's a potential for organized assault, please report it beforehand.

It seems that Envy is seated for the sermon.

The fact that a cute girl is sitting on a hard deck with an item in her seat invites sympathy, but when I think of yesterday's apple swallowing incident, the feeling of wonder and pity does not spring up. According to Rae, Envy's appearance was merely a pseudo-state and not really the same structure as a human body. If so, this is probably just an imitation of being scolded.

"I'm sorry. I showed you the difference in power, but I didn't think it would come. If this were the case, I should have crushed it all properly."

From the flow of the story, it appears that these fishmongers had an armed clash with Envy before. It seems that their survival has been criticized by their parents' hatred.

Certainly, it is important to thoroughly crush it in the sense of turning down the grief of patronage, but it is not necessarily the case that this situation is bad.

"So-so. This time, it may have been tough because we were attacked while on the move, but our base is on land. It's mostly inland, and it doesn't pose a major threat when these people come in big numbers.

If the mermaids are coming after Envy, I think we should kill them each time. If you attack me every time you breed, you'll get a steady experience income.

It's Rare's favorite ranch. I wonder if it's the ocean or the farm. "

I see, maybe Blanc is right. Let me suggest this to my boss.

Sugar nodded impressively and set Envy up.

Envy stares at Bran with a mix of gratitude and respect.

"Amazing. That's my Lord's friend."

"Oh, not so much! Where's Vinea, by the way?

I knocked him up in the middle of the night, so he's sleeping twice now.

After that, Sugar decided to watch out in the sea at night, and the crossing of the Great Aegean Sea ended without being attacked by the fishmongers.

I was worried that I would be able to find an island nation floating on the edge of a vast ocean, but it seems that the Far East Islands are dotted with land that lies between the north and the south for a long time.

However, the land floating alongside the horizon was covered in thicker clouds and did not appear to be in very healthy condition.
