Side: Roséne

At the age of nineteen, the barrier was about to break, but at a time when it was not strange.

But I'm not as impatient as I used to be, because the ship is finished and we're only going to make our way.

"Captain! I'm ready to leave!"

"Alright! Now, Nora and Rose, switch on the engine!"

"Leave it to me! Rose, are you ready?"

Sure, I'll turn it around when you want.

Nora inserts the key and places my hand on it.

For once, the owner of this ship led us to ignite our first engine.

Well then, let's do it!

Guy!!

When I turned the key off, a loud engine noise came from behind.

Huh. Magic engines sound like this.

"I-I 've kept the noise down, but... sorry."

"What are you apologizing for!" You've done enough to finish off this big ship in such a short time. Be more proud! "

"I-I 'm sorry..."

"I... I can't hold on to the best of merit anymore."

"Let's go! Raise your tongue!"

"Fufufu. Captain Orlo is a good man."

“Of course, Auro was on the boat while I was collecting the materials.”

Experience in the sea, maneuvering ships, no one can beat.

"That's right, your lover is amazing."

"You're telling me you're not a lover."

Now that I'm used to this teasing, I'll deny it without changing my complexion.

The reeds are up!

Roger that! Now let's launch the ship!

As we did so, the ship began to move forward.

"Wow, it's starting to move." You can really sail with such a large piece of iron. "

"An iron lump... was it made by your lover?"

"Ah, are you going to retaliate for what you just did?" Fufufu. Yeah, that's right. This is the best ship in the world my beloved has ever built! ”

I hugged Dig to show off Nora.

"Hey, hey, hey, Nora... hi, I'm embarrassed in public..."

That's right. These two are almost a couple passing their lover.

"Ahaha. Now then, no matter what you say, onee-chan won't retaliate ~"

"Yeah, I'm done for."

I'm going to stop saying that and ignore it.

Well then, let's increase the engine speed little by little!

"Yeah. Speed doesn't seem to be a problem either." Well then, go straight out to the shore! "

"Okay, now it's free time." Each of you, move freely around the ship! ”

On the captain's orders, the crew in the cockpit headed for the deck and left the various rooms.

And the only ones left in the cockpit were me and Auro.

Why don't you be the captain?

"Not bad... but is it really okay for me?"

"What are you talking about?" That's why you've been on a boat for the last four years, right? Take me to the Elves with confidence. "

“That's right, I'll do my best to meet your expectations.”

Thank you very much.

"Speaking of which... why does Rose want to go to the Elves?" Can you tell me already? "

"Didn't you ask Nora?"

I thought you already knew.

I mean, why didn't you ever notice?

I've heard of it, but you should ask Rosé directly.

"That's right... Well, it's only natural to speak for yourself." All right, I'll tell you from scratch. "

"Thank you."

"It's not something I'd be grateful for." I didn't talk to her, but the explanation was troublesome, and I was just putting it off. "

“I'd appreciate it if you could just explain it to me.”

Hah... whoever you say you are...

"Honestly, I've had four men before, but no man has moved my heart as much as you." Well, for a long-lived elf, couples were a formality to leave their children behind, so I feel different from that. "

"Huh? Rose, do you already have four husbands?!"

It was difficult to express, but Auro's face was surprised by 10%, sad by 40%, and unbelievable by 50%.

"I'm not here anymore." I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I've been reborn over and over again. "

Rebirth?

"That's right. Usually when a person dies, that's where it ends, right?"

Yeah.

"But when I die, I can start over with the baby."

Well, I'm trying again before I die, to be exact.

“How can I do that?”

It's a skill.

What's the difference between skill and magic?

A skill is the ability to do more than the highest level of magic at no cost.

"Huh. Does that mean that magic can be reborn in the same way as Rosé?"

"You can do that, can't you? If you're a wizard who can handle necromancers and souls, you can do it."

Maybe it was a necromancer who died in the beginning.

"Is that so?" After all, there's so much the world doesn't know. "

"I think that's what it is. Most people around the world die knowing nothing about this."

I've known this for over a thousand years.

But you want to know that there are still things like this in the world, right?

"Maybe so." Are you sure you don't want to talk about me anymore? "

"Oh, I'm sorry! I was trying to talk to you, but you derailed me." You said Rosé was reborn, right? And is there any connection to why you want to go to the Elves? Ah, I see. You said you were the husband of an Elf, and Rose was an Elf in her previous life, right? ”

What do you think, name reasoning? Even if you look like Doya, that's the only answer.

"Yeah, that's right. So you're not surprised you're reborn?"

"Ah, should I have been surprised?" Somehow, I'm impressed that some people can do that... "

"What the hell is that?"

I'm impressed, and I don't really understand the choice of words.

"I mean, I'm stupid, I'm not like Rose, I just know things all the time." Is that possible? I've been living like this every day, so I'm used to being surprised. "

"... that's it. Well, I think it's good to be you."

I see? Well then, I will continue to do so!

“Yeah, but I'm sure I can't help but be surprised when I hear you explain.”

"Are you going to tell me such an amazing story?"

“Yes, I will tell you the truth about a world that only a few people in this world know.”

"Oh, I don't feel like I need to ask you that much..."

"There's no turning back anymore." You have to hear it all the way to the end. "

As a captain, you absolutely must know if you're going to take us to the island.

Then I taught you about the battle of the Reincarnated that has been going on for a thousand years.

"Is that why you're surprised?"

"No... there's so much more information than I thought, I can't afford to be surprised."

“Yes, but you understand what I was saying, don't you?”

"Well, maybe... there are a few people in this world who have memories of other worlds, and Rose is one of them." So, those chosen people had to kill each other somehow... and Rose, being targeted by the strongest among them, ran away to us using her resurrection. But I've been trying to build a ship because I can't just leave my friends home to die. Is this right for you? "

"It suits me." Well, I want to help my predecessors. If you just remember this, you won't have a problem. "

"Yeah, I think I can remember that."

Dossun!

What, what's the wobble?

Suddenly, the ship rocked like it was bumping into something.

Did you hit something?

"No way, this is the sea?" There's nothing to bump into. "

"Well then... what?"

Hello? Auro

"Neria, what happened!?"

"Ah, onee-chan is there too." Then it's easy to explain. A shark-shaped monster about the size of a whale crashed into the ship and it felt like it was shaking!

Certainly, that explanation would be incomprehensible without the knowledge of previous generations.

Well, I understood what kind of monsters were attacking me.

Is the ship safe?

Of course. There's not a single scratch. It was worth the effort to collect Mithril. "

I'm glad you were able to do the endurance test.

So, what happened to the monster?

For now, I'll fight with only the weapons on my ship. Right now, Dig-kun is shooting cannons at the monster. ”

How can a cannon be effective against such a large monster?

It doesn't seem to be a problem! I don't know the details, but the magic seems to be mixed, and there are many holes in the shark like a whale. "

Dwarfs' technical abilities. It's perfectly crafted to the smallest detail.

If so, then there's no problem.

Yeah! If it doesn't work with the cannon, don't worry, I'll take care of it with Keel ~

Well, I'm not worried.

"I'm begging you."

”Is that monster... delicious?”

"Maybe it's delicious." Do you want to take it back with you to the ship? "

Great! Today's the feast!

"Originally, we were going to have a feast today to celebrate the completion of the ship." Well then, as soon as I hear the report of the monster's crusade, I'll turn the ship around and go home. "

Roger that!

Well, now we know that the ship is fine.

I talked about what I had to talk about, and I didn't leave anything to regret anymore.

We're ready to go. We're ready to go.

Guys... just a little patience. So, please, stay safe.

I prayed, staring in the direction of my home island, the final battlefield that would have been far ahead.
