"Oh, are you okay, Tanatos?
"Oh, there was a big monster, so I took him down. It was strong."
Tanatos is a strong opponent. Looks like Vargas was in trouble. It's a little dangerous here. "
Moving around the jungle, my expedition finally succeeded in finding a rescuer.
Apparently, he failed to land and broke his leg bones.
Soon, I used Heal to get back to my base tower.
I heard a loud noise along the way.
It sounded like something was fighting.
It's dangerous, but we rushed to the base to get in trouble.
Then our exploration team in Vargas was fighting monsters.
It was the same monster we encountered.
Vargas prevented the monster from attacking as it ran around at a very fast speed, despite the huge figure.
Vargas can withstand attacks from monsters while increasing Magic and Defense on the surface of his body.
While Vargas captured the attack, others were attacking with a rock crossbow stick and ice spear.
However, it was only a decisive attack, and it was a pattern of enduring combat.
When I saw it, I immediately carried out a backup attack and managed to help.
In contrast, Tanatos was attacked by a monster like a big snake.
I was told that Tanatos, who had become a giant, had managed to defeat him with all his might.
If only Tanatos had been surrounded by the serpent, it might have been dangerous.
Apparently, this gloomy jungle-like forest was a pretty dangerous place.
"Hmm, I don't know what to do. Somehow, both Vargas and Tanatos have found rescuers. Maybe we should build a transporter magic team here and go home."
"Hmm? Are you going home, Ars? Didn't you want to see the ocean?
"That's right, but it's really more difficult to get around. You can't fly a magic airship anymore, can you?
I see. That's a shame. I found the ocean. "
"What? Is that true? You found the sea, Tanatos."
"Oh, there was a cliff before I found the one that brought me back. There was a sea beyond the cliff."
"... can you guide me? Do you remember the way, Tanatos?
"Of course."
"Alright, then we can't do it right away. Let's spend the night here for now. So, when it gets brighter, let's go check out the sea Tanatos found."
The unexpected trouble continued, but Tanatos brought me the good news.
Looks like there's a sea.
I don't know how far away it is from where the sky dragon attacked me, but it must have surprisingly come close.
On that day, I was tired and rested, and when the morning sun began to rise, I decided to go to see the sea under the leadership of Tanatos.
"Oh, there really was a sea. Thank you for finding me. Thank you, Tanatos."
"... that's amazing. There's really water all the way out there, General."
I see.... no, I don't know yet. We need to see if this is really a sea or maybe a big lake. "
"In the ocean, salt was in the water."
"That should be it. That said, I've never actually seen the ocean with my own eyes. Let's check it out anyway."
As Tanatos guided him along the road, he discovered the cliff.
From there, I could indeed see the sea.
However, the terrain was unlikely to get off a little bit, so I continued to move towards the sea while making further detours from there.
And with that, I finally arrived at Shirahama.
Apparently, the terrain was like a cove that protruded into a large U-shape behind a cliff.
The waves reaching Shirahama are low and calm, either because the cliffs stretching towards the sea keep the waves from coming.
It had a little private beach-like vibe.
"The water... yeah, salty."
"Heh, which one?... uhh, what is this? It really tastes like salt."
"That's why I told you. I think this is definitely seawater. Let's check from the top later."
"Hey, general. Can't you drink this seawater?
"Well, if I drink it as it is, I think the dehydration symptoms will also appear. Drink only [drinking water] water."
"Hmm, but why is the fish swimming even though it's so salty? Aren't they drinking this salt water? You all right? You all right?
"The difference between freshwater fish and seawater fish. Fish in the river cannot live in the water of the sea. The fish here live in salt water. Probably."
"Heh, well, whatever. You can eat, right? Let's get him, General."
"Wait a minute. Before we do that, let's build another base here. If the monster comes here, I'll make sure it's okay, and then I'll check the surroundings."
That's right. I have to go and retrieve the empty dragon I left behind. All right, let's get this over with and eat some sea fish. You heard me, guys. Work hard. "
Apparently, Balgas wants to eat the sea fish that can be seen from Shirahama immediately.
I know how that feels.
Everyone started moving in response to the call from Vargas and started building a base in this cove.
