Legend

After purchasing a spear for throwing, specially made for sea monsters at a blacksmith, and a barrel filled with plenty of blade fragments and scraps of ore that could be called trump cards, Ray and Seto had come to the harbor early and early.

What I felt when I saw the harbor was surprised and convinced.

The surprise was that few more adventurers existed in the harbor until a short while ago, and now the majority of those in the harbor were men and women loading their luggage onto ships.

The few but remaining adventurers are probably those hired as escorts for the ships leaving the port.

Is it satisfactory that the number of ships that had docked in large numbers had decreased to such an extent that we could tell? Even though it's only been two days since we defeated Rem Race, that information is completely widespread and I guess a ship left early that doesn't want to waste any more money as a berthing fee.

Of course when it comes to the ship that left first thing yesterday morning, it was a truly frightening departure. While the captains and shipowners of moored ships gathered in the harbor to watch with breath, ships that could not be in the harbor any more financially received gold from guilds, administrations, or other shipowners and left the harbor. You can tell what happened to that result from what's going on in the harbor right now. The profit-savvy merchants have left the port with us, or even the appearance of new ships entering the port.

"Thinking about it, I guess the ship that just entered the port yesterday was lucky"

You would undoubtedly have been fortunate to enter the port without encountering a monster attacking the ship from the sea, the Rem Race.

At the same time, I ask the guards assigned to the port to go through the procedure of leaving the port.

"No, did you say Ray or something? Thanks to you, the harbor is finally calming down."

"It was crowded when I got here, so that looked normal."

He talks to the public as he gives him the guild card and the obedient devil's neck ornament that hung on Seto's neck, and soon he gets permission.

"This is the process. But why go out to sea when there's no more lem racing?

"One way or another, it was the city of Gilm on the side of the mountain. Sometimes he wants to deal with sea monsters. You can buy materials and stuff from your guild."

A guard who listens to Ray like that and gives him a look somewhere frightened.

Try being a guard, and you won't know how Ray feels about wanting to fight monsters from himself on purpose. Especially since Ray is also rumored among the guards that he sold off that material and got a lot of money, although it was the prize money hung from the lem race that he hasn't received yet.

There's no reason to realize the confusion of such guards, but Ray's gaze is directed toward Seto, who wants to get out of the ocean quickly.

"Besides, we have to prepare Seto's meal."

In that word, the guard, who knew rumours of how much Ray and Seto would eat, gives a heartfelt convincing look.

It's only a rumor, because I've heard that the stalls Ray and Seto stopped by and the sales of the stores selling food were up about 10%.

Of course I'm not spending that much money, so it's just a rumor, but there was still something I could convince myself of when I saw guards shopping around the city for Ray and Seto before.

"Surely if it's this big, it sounds like a lot of one-time meals.... Okay, you can go. However, if you can, it won't be directly from this port next time, but once you're out of town, it'll be helpful for you to head to the sea. For once, this is where the ship is processed."

To that word of the guard, Ray opens his eyes for a moment.

Up until now, we had almost moved out of the harbor, or flew directly out of the harbor when flying over the sea to attract the lem race, so we didn't even notice the area.

"Sorry, I'll be careful from tomorrow"

"Ha ha, do that"

That's what the guards call me, sometimes I'm worried about trying to cross into Seto's back, and I call the guards again.

"With that said, do you know what happened to the party that has the Magic Item Ship? I think we did have a couple of pairs."

"Hmm? Yeah, most of them would have left the city of Emotion yesterday. There will be some pairs left, but some of those pairs will leave within close range. Having a magic item ship would mean you have more than a certain amount of strength, and I guess there are other places you can make money. Aim for the bounty neck, or normally defeat the monster and sell the material"

"... right"

Ray looks subtly sorry.

If you try Ray, who has a hobby for collecting magic items that can be used in action, there are times when you wanted a magic item ship if you could. Especially when crusading monsters in the sea like this one, because it's a must have magic item when you want manpower other than Ray.

(I hope Seto can get about a few other people on besides me...... can we just hope they grow up sometime)

"What could I do for you?

"I was wondering if you could give me that magic item ship. There will be considerable leeway for the purchase of rem racing prizes and materials for the gold. Well, we're a while away from actually getting the prize money."

"Uh, I see. But Magic Item ships are pretty expensive... or rare, I don't think I would imitate them so easily. I honestly think it would be quicker to buy some magic items at a store that sells them."

I nod when I can't help the words of the guard, crossing into Seto's back again.

"I can't help it, this time I'm going to give up the Magic Item Ship"

"There are only a few magic items in that hand. It's not that easy to get in your hands because you're after it. Rumor has it, they sometimes find it in a dungeon or something..."

"... a dungeon"

Elaine's figure passes behind Ray's brain.

(It was a magic item aim like a pair of orbs, but if you can get a magic item ship or something, that might be good too)

Convinced internally that way, the guards speak out again to Ray, who tried to signal Seto to leave.

"I'll give the devil's necklace to the main entrance, so when you come back, turn to the main entrance, not the harbor."

"Oh, that helps. Seto!"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Ray gives a brief thank you and gives a gentle kick signal at Seto's torso as he straddles. Then at the next moment, after a few steps of aid as Seto rang high, he wings and moves to make sure he runs up in the air.

Looking up from the ground, the guard man was seriously worried about what to do with his surrounding gaze, which was focused on him by Seto's ringing voice.

Ray occasionally turns his gaze to the surface of the sea as he looks at the horizon that stretches everywhere.

I'm looking for a monster in the sea that's what I'm looking for, about an hour flying out of the harbor. Happy or unhappy, I could never find that figure.

"Grrrrrrrr"

You were making a brave squeal when you flew, Seto, but you're just getting tired of not finding the monster, or are you still looking? and he turns to Ray with his throat rattling all the time.

"Well, if you can't find the monster after a few more searches, why don't you go back to shore and take a break?"

"Gru."

Nodding at Ray's words, Seto flies over the sky like he's regained his mind.

Ray and Seto themselves weren't aware of it at all, but there are actually few monsters around the city of Emosion right now. That was the same not only in the sea, but also on land. Why. The reason is extremely simple, and Ray has relied on Grimm to force the lem race to transfer.

Grimm's magic unleashed like a sonar to probe the rem race and the magic used during the forced transfer that occurred shortly afterwards. All the monsters around them were fleeing without fear to the overwhelming magic of being the rich used in those two. It would therefore be ironic to take it to Ray that it was going so smoothly that there was no more to leave the port after the Rem Race crusade.

"Hmm, you seriously don't have a monster. You can't even find it in Seto's eyes, can you?

"Gru."

I'm sorry, Seto ringing his throat like that.

Ray stroking me not to worry about Seto's neck like that.

"If you're doing this and you can't find it, why don't you go a little farther after the break? Even if you can't find it near the city of Emosion, if you go offshore, you'll probably be there.... I hope he's here."

I squirmed at him somewhere unsure, then suddenly Seto looked down... and sounded sharply as he looked at the sea level.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

"You found the monster!?

I thought so and followed Seto's gaze Ray, but there were two ships there. It's nothing strange in itself. Because some people are fleeting and doing business on a few ships. But those two ships were close in distance. Normally, the distance between the ship and the ship is several hundred meters, even if it is a fleet, and about 1 km is open if it is bad. However, at the end of Ray's line of sight, the two ships are moving together in a position of almost contact. It was also obvious what was going on there when we saw arrows and magic go between each other's ships and ships.

"Pirate."

Pirates originally existed in this area as well. It would certainly have been a better place for the pirates than near Emosion, the largest harbour town in the Kingdom of Mireana. But that's where the lem race shows up and starts attacking the ship.

If the only ship attacked was a ship headed for or departed from Emosion, there would have been no problem as a pirate, but there is no way to distinguish between ships attacked by Rem Race, which is also a monster. As a result, quite a few pirate ships sank, and as a result, the pirates withdrew from the waters, deciding that their damage would not be foolish to stay here. But...

"You'll be back soon enough. He was probably letting his men sneak into the city of Emosion...... well, was he lucky or bad? As far as this goes, I'd just say you're unlucky no matter what you think. Seto!"

"Grrrrrr!"

In response to Ray's call, Seto descends to those with the ship.

I guess I eventually noticed Seto approaching. Neither ended the bow or magical attack, cheered by one ship that knew Ray and Seto existed.

"When we're happy to be here, apparently it's the side that's being attacked. Then..."

Give Seto a signal and go down next to the ship you think is a pirate ship and speak up.

"I ask you, you're pirate ships!

To that voice, a stunned gaze at Griffon, where most of the people who were on the ship suddenly appeared, and a few of them floated their teeth.

He came back to this waters knowing that the lem race had been crusaded, so naturally the majority of the pirates knew about the adventurers who defeated the lem race. It was also naturally in my ear that the adventurer was using Griffon as his obedience. So we didn't even think we could beat adventurers like we could beat a lem race, we just toothpick when it comes to what we could do.

What would have been unfortunate at this time would have been the lack of information circulated by the men lurking in the city of Emosion to the pirates. Regardless of their ability to follow Griffon, the pirates lurking in the city could not be informed without knowing that they had been given aliases in the war against the Bestian Empire. Hence...

"Whoa, whoa! Die!"

One of the pirates throws his axe toward Ray with the thought of regenerating his death rather than grabbing him like this.

However, the hand axe that flies as it rotates does not reach Ray and is lightly knocked down to the sea by a blow to Seto's forefoot.

"... Hmm? I see, apparently, you're not willing to get caught by an adult. Do you want to be the algae chip of the ocean here?"

Throw the spear you took out of the mistering with that word. At the next moment, he breaks through the floor under the feet of an axe-thrown pirate and disappears onto the ship.

"Well, what do we do? Let's ask again. Can you fight me like this and sink the ship, or will you be caught by adults and sold off as a criminal slave? Choose who you like. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not in trouble with the money right now, either way."

Seeing Ray's blow now, I guess he decided there was no winning shot in the fight. Instead of being sunk into the ocean and everyone losing their lives... most of them chose to surrender. Among other things, a small number of them were attacked towards Ray rather than becoming criminal slaves as they were, but they broke about a few ribs with swinging spears again, which would cause them to pass out.

Note that the pirates were not killed at this time simply because Ray decided that if he were to sell them off as criminal slaves, he would not have killed them in vain, and it would have seemed to be Ray to say that he did not have a merciful heart.

Wasn't the ship being attacked particularly devastating, or as it were, handed Ray some gratuities to go back on the voyage and Ray would take a pirate ship back to the city of Emosion.
