Instant Death

"Hmm. Maybe Kraken's kind. Classic as a sea demon."

"What is this!? Are you a giant squid!? Or an octopus?

Chichika confirmed the hull.

Many tentacles are stretched out of the sea and wrapped around ships.

Big enough tentacles to entangle luxury passenger ships. If this is head and foot, I guess its body is even more gigantic.

"Hmm. You have more than eight tentacles, and you don't seem to be an octopus. Or how many are there?

"Is this a range of assumptions as trouble with navigation?

"If you envisioned the possibility of this coming, you wouldn't be making this whole resort feel"

"Right!

The passenger was in a state of panic.

An elegant journey on a luxury passenger ship turned into a horror show by the Sea Demon.

It's also impossible to talk about staying calm with this, but if you calm down and take a look, the tentacles hadn't shown any movement since they got tangled up on the ship.

I didn't crush the ship or slap my tentacles.

"No, what am I supposed to do with this..."

There is no escape anywhere because it is on the sea. There was not much in Chika's hands.

"Hey kid. Stay awake!

"It's happening now."

And when this one spoke to nowhere, he heard a reply.

This separates the weapon from the aggressor, the tentacles, and uses it as a communication device.

"We have a problem. Kraken's attacking!

'I'll take a look outside...... oh, a squid-like tentacle? You have a touch arm.'

"I want to rendezvous. I'm on my way there now."

No matter where you go, there will be no special safe place. Then Chichika also decided that we should aim to rendezvous first.

"Where are you now?

Pool around the tip of the ship.

'This is the top floor behind the ship. Then we can go around the middle. "

The ship is huge.

We would be better off moving each other. The time to assemble would be shorter.

"Takahi-kun. Take this down?

'I don't feel like killing you. So far, do you feel like the wildlife's been following you? And I feel pathetic about killing him. "

"You're twisted... if you eat a tentacle blow, you're not dead..."

"I also feel the movement is unnatural for wildlife..."

Kraken after being tangled up doesn't do anything in particular.

But as for the night fog, I guess this place is looking good for now.

"Guys, hang on! We are the bondmen of the Red Lotus. I am entrusted with the protection of this ship."

A girl in a swimsuit was talking to the passengers around her.

The Red Lotus bond seemed to be a known being, and the passengers seemed to be regaining much calm.

"As you all know, the Red Lotus bond is a mercenary regiment led by the brave Hornet. A monster of this magnitude can be dealt with by Hornet without a problem."

Sounds like a hell of a giant monster, but he can take it down if he's brave, and that seems to be a fact we all share.

"The Red Lotus bond was something of someone you'd talked to before you got on the boat, wasn't it?

Chichika remembered that Hornet was said to evaporate even on the iceberg in an instant, but that didn't seem to be a joke.

"Mm-hmm. You were the boy who came with his mother. It was with a mercenary group escorting the ship."

"... were you escorting me, that..."

I guess the two girls in swimsuits were swimming because their whole bodies were wet.

Talking to everyone from earlier was the girl with the sword, who looked about the same age as Chichika.

The other girl has a cane and looks older than the sword girl.

He doesn't seem to have forgotten his duties because he has weapons, but he still seemed to enjoy the resort enough.

"Well, let those people handle this place. Shall we hurry?"

It wouldn't be useful to have Chichika here.

Evacuation etc. can be done with the Red Lotus bond.

That's what I thought, and the ship swayed in small pieces again.

If you look around, the tentacles near you are twisting.

And then the suction cup on the tentacles ripped and something came out of it as it drifted from inside.

"Huh?"

Chichika doubted her eyes.

It was a staircase, and it jumped out of its tentacles and stretched out onto the ship.

It's a simple metal staircase.

And the existence of using such objects is limited.

It was humans who came down.

"Hello, we are pirates"

"I'm really even a pirate! Aren't you going to come out to the iceberg sometime!?"

Ten people came down from the nearby tentacles.

The stairs are coming down from the other tentacles, so I guess the same thing is happening elsewhere.

The composition of the group claiming to be pirates was cluttered.

The first man to come out and introduce himself looks like a knight wrapped in armor and has a soft waist.

But those who follow them, to those who, because they see, are pirates, boneless warrior-inspired men. There was a lot of change with craftsmanship women.

"Our aim is to hold you hostage for ransom. Therefore, I will not do harm if you keep me company. We expect you to make a wise decision."

"Is that it? Is there an atmosphere where you can't get away with something?

"Uhm. If you move poorly, it'll be a fight"

"Can't you go in there and blow yourself up or something?

"Can you! What do you think of your ancestors?

Then two of the Red Lotus bonds stood before the pirates.

"Didn't you know we had a Red Lotus bond? You're unlucky to attack this ship."

To say that is an elderly girl with a cane. He's got a rougher temper than the sword girl.

"No, because we have investigated it beforehand. And those combat personnel who are not passengers are told to end it."

"Yes. Then you don't have to hesitate!

A girl puts up a cane.

As soon as possible, a number of burning balls appeared surrounding the girl.

You didn't assume this magical scale, the pirates changed their complexion.

"I hope you regret getting your hands on this ship! I'll burn you to the bone marrow!

But that group of flaming spheres never worked as well as the girl assumed.

The flaming sphere disappeared as if nothing had happened without being fired.

The girl looks stunned and waves down her wand many times.

But her magic never activated again.

"Ma'am, it's bad for your heart..."

The chivalrous pirate spoke to a new person coming down the stairs.

"No, you guys rely too much on me, and sometimes I wonder if Koyu's would be okay."

"Our operation is powered by a young lady. You can't do this on a whim."

He was a warrior standing girl, a man dressed girl.

It seemed like a knight-style man was directing this bunch, but the girl's position seems to be even higher.

"This!"

The wand girl decided she was powerless and the sword girl moved.

But not so easily, the sword girl was in return.

A pirate-style man slashed the girl's neck with a cutlass.

"Stupid...... Mirna..."

The wand girl had lost her will to fight.

He seemed to think that the two of us would be dealing with ten of them, but no, that confidence has no shadow to see.

"Hmm. Wasn't the Red Lotus bond so much for swordsmanship alone? You must have been fighting with a gift."

"You mean the gift is no longer available?

"Mm-hmm. My powers are considerably contained, too. Fortunately, the acacia is radio operated, so we can do something about it, but it seems impossible to deform the tentacles."

"No, it's a swimsuit now, but what's going on with the tentacles?

Usually it is simulated into a piece of clothing, but Chichika thought it was impossible to do so.

"There's quite a bit of dead space in the acacia, so I'll keep it there"

"So, have you been in touch with Takahiro?

"I use the tentacles I gave the kid as mere receivers, so don't do anything about it."

"I don't know the difference!

"Anyway, we have to do something about it without touchdowns."

Fortunately, Chichika and the others are probably just passengers, too.

But if we were to move out of here, we needed to do something about the pirates.

"Oh, my God! What are we gonna do with the other one?

"Kill."

It was a quick answer.

"I always thought, wouldn't a woman be worth using?

"No. Our job is to kidnap the rich and get ransom. I can't afford to be dealing with a woman who won't be money. If you want a woman, buy a professional woman after work"

"Heh."

A pirate-style man slashed a wand girl.

The wand girl stood on a bar. I guess I had little idea of melee combat.

"Well, gentlemen. Our kidnapping is business. We will not request an impossible amount. Please rest assured that each person will be charged as much as they can pay and will be released if we can confirm the deposit."

"... pigeon, you're doing great..."

Chichika had remembered that the magical biographical dove had a payment function.
