I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~

Episode 69: Living is Eating and Killing

The pirate ships are coming straight in the direction of the bow. From where the axis is slightly offset, it will hit and dock, and immediately burn the sail with a flare arrow before attacking in a White Army battle. Now that I'm folding the sail, the goal is quite small. It'll be hard to guess if we don't get close.

Near the bow, besides me, Cristala, and Argna, sailors preparing for battle are waiting for weapons like Kathras and bows. I'm ready to intercept. Nevertheless, basically, we're going to fight alone. The sailors take care of themselves. If you get injured, it will interfere with the operation of the ship.

There's nothing like a plan. Not to let them in at all, and to be careful not to burn the sail. Neither I nor the sailors have any experience in white warfare on board.

Christella and Argna are told to keep their posture as low as possible and aim for their feet. I read in a book before that how to stabilize the center of gravity is important in battle on a rocking ship. When my leg gets hurt, I can't step on it and my center of gravity easily collapses. If that happens, we're not going to fight.

A pirate ship is approaching. There's a big galleon over there too. Is it a little smaller over there, or is the bow height slightly higher than this one? But it's not that big a difference. As long as we can get to the dock, we won't have much trouble getting on board. And that time will come in a few seconds.

As soon as the bows of each other's ships come into contact, I kick the handrail and jump into the pirate ship. It's a must-have. I'm the only one holding a hollow position while both crew members are out of balance due to the impact.

A big, red-haired man with a beard who was formidably fighting near the bow of a pirate ship stares at me with dismay. But that's all he was able to do. I'm going to land on his face with both legs because he's out of balance. A blow to the face and a blow to the deck from the back of his head caused the bearded old man to lose consciousness. But he may have been the luckiest of the pirates in a way. Because the damage was done only with the nose bone and the back of the head tankob.

While making loud noises and vibrations, the starboard sides of both ships rubbed against each other. Both crew members endure it, so they are full and still unable to move.

The red and chestnut-haired big men with weapons lined up in front of me when I got on the pirate ship alone. They are dyed in the red light of the sunset that is sinking on the horizon, but their skin color is white without exception. Russian whiteness. They must be from the north. I mean, I'm not from around here. I suppose it's Noran's pirate? Well, we'll see about that later. Now let's focus on the fight.

Jumps back toward the pirates as he tramples the face of a fallen man. To scratch and confuse as much as possible. I don't give long enough time to shoot an arrow.

Passing between the two pirates, he pulled out the sword and sword pointed behind his waist. (12) I bought it in line with this escort request. Ordinary adventurers have as many spare weapons as they have. As always, it's a tool for mountain walking.

The necks of pirates who don't know what happened fell down with their dumb faces. It's the first time I've taken someone's life with my own hands, but I'm not particularly impressed. I'm already ready for that, and I'm not that young to worry about any of it. Physically, I'm young.

In the first place, even if it were modern Japan in the previous life, I wouldn't have been troubled.

Occasionally, some people say they fell asleep saying, "I can't believe I took the life of a creature." But if you ask me, it's shameless.

When I ask, "Have you ever taken the life of a creature?", I affirm, "No." But when I ask, "Have you ever eaten meat or fish?", I say, "I didn't kill you." It just turns away from saying, "Someone is killing me instead." Fraud and shame are unbearable.

I had food allergies in my previous life, so I had the opportunity to think deeper about food than healthy people. Because if you don't, it's life-threatening. So I was able to realize the real meaning hidden in the words "I'll take it" before the meal. It means, "Everyone lives at someone's expense." And it's not just about eating.

For example, a cop. They take control of criminals, sometimes taking lives and being robbed. Instead of us. Such sacrifices have shaped the life of modern society. Those who say it has nothing to do with themselves lack imagination.

Everyone is killing people indirectly. They're killing us. Then there is a reason to hesitate to soil one's own hands now.

I don't know if it's the killer or the killer, but it's my turn. That's all. If you don't want to die, you have to kill him. There is no reason to worry or meaning at all. That's what I think.

In this escort contract, when the pirates show up, they leave behind a few and destroy them. Because I don't divide the guards.

If you defeat the pirate, you may get the ship. Bandits and pirates belong to the exterminated, and in this case to us. For this reason, the shipowner asked me to sell the ship once it was acquired. If we can get a new ship, the business opportunities will expand. That includes the escort contract.

But even if we get the ship, we have to take it to the harbor once. Certainly, some of the sailors of the ship will be carrying out the maneuvers for this purpose. There's a danger that pirates will get away with it. But then the manpower is critical, and we can't afford to divide the number of guards. Then it would be better to leave a few people for the investigation so that we don't need surveillance from the beginning. We prioritized safety and rationality.

The pirates are upset at the sight of the fellow decapitated. I know you were willing to board the opponent's ship, but you weren't expecting it. It's convenient for me.

Stay low as you land and run vertically and horizontally between pirates. Cut both pirates' ankles as they slip through.

"Ahh!?

"Yikes!? My feet, my feet!?

It was a flat and sharp sword. Even if I think it is only cut, it is actually cut off. Well, neither is a problem. The point is, you can't move. I can't shoot an arrow because I'm running around, and I'm doing my job.

"Damn, what's going on!? There's something fucked up at my feet, watch out!

Did you think that density would lead to more confusion, or did you just want to keep away from danger? Pirates spread out from each other. There was a gap and I was exposed. Nothing in particular.

"Seriously, you're a kid! Don't lick me!

Any pirate with a bandana wrapped around his head shook Kathras down. Twist your body as you push in front of you and squeeze the approaching blade with a few centimeters. I'm good at cutting it out. With a twisted body back recoil, he lays down his sword and cuts off the pirate's knees.

"Ghhh!?

"Damn it, don't let me near you! Kill him!!

Some of them have spears... but it's got a return, so they're poking at me. I'm not a fish.

Once the distance is taken in the back step, the ship runs to the starboard side.

A pointing weapon, such as a spear, is usually on the right side. Then I put my left foot forward and poke it, but when the opponent moves to my right, my body opens naturally, and I can't let go of the strong poke. Move right, clockwise.

Even though I am accustomed to rough things in piracy, I can run at the same speed as an Olympic athlete by strengthening my body, but it is not something that ordinary people can chase. It's impossible to even grab a punch with an open body and no waist.

One of the pirates lightly feints the poke he inadvertently fires, and circles under the return pocket to fill the gap. A surprised pirate panicked to unleash his next thrust, but it was too late.

"Ha!? Gyaaa!?

I jumped into my pocket and slit my flank with my right hand jaw so I could pass through the right side of the pirate. An unexpectedly beautiful pink intestine spills out, but this is not the case if you are observing it for a long time. I'm familiar with dismantling intestinal monsters.

Behind a pirate with a broken flank, another sailor throws a poke. Good timing. Cut off the tip with the sword on the left. Cut off the left arm of the pirate by cutting up his right hand without putting it in his hair.

"Ahaah!? My arm, uhhhhh!?

Run straight back to the bow. Turn around and see what's going on... yeah, nose screaming. Pirates who had their hands and feet slit rolled and there was blood everywhere. About half of the total, about 14-15 people couldn't move. The rest of them look at us in a blue face. Looks like you lost your game, but there's no reason to bother.

... sad, but this is a war.

I'll sing you a memorial Buddha, so don't get lost and become a Buddha. It's not what I could say when I was reborn without becoming a Buddha.

I was the only one who survived the piracy. I survived because I was stunned until it was all over. I knew he was the lucky one. Even so, pirates, like bandits, can only be tied up or enslaved if caught.

The pirates' bodies aren't on board. I mowed all my necks and threw them into the sea. The monsters will taste good.

It took about an hour to fight. The sunset is already setting on the horizon, but the rest of the light is still a little bright. If you work hard, you'll be able to clean up the bloody deck before it gets dark. I can't do it alone with the boulders, so I have to ask the sailors of the merchant ship.

Looking at the merchant ship, the sailor and the captain were stunned with their mouths open.... yeah, the usual guy. If I saw a seven-year-old ravaging more than 30 pirates, I'd look like that. I don't care because it is now. Maybe she was immune to it. To my heart.

"Master Beat, it seems that there are still survivors in the warehouse! Please be careful!

What, are you still here? I'm getting hungry, aren't I?
