Legend

Ray was surprised for a moment that the ship he touched could not be stored in the mistering, but the surprise disappears quickly.

Basically a mystering of rays that can be stored no matter how big or how heavy they are, but there are still things that can never be stored.

It's... an organism.

It's a dog, but it's a cat, it's a monster, it's a fish, but living beings can't be stored in mysteries.

Yes, for example… even if that's human.

(No, well, seeing how this ship is aging, maybe it's not humans, rats, that kind of thing could be in the ship)

But ships that were older than the ones Ray was now touching could normally be stored in the mysteries.

If so, it remains somewhat questionable that only this ship can store it.

"Somebody in this boat?

The pirates stiffen their bodies half-reflexively to Ray's words, who shrugged so.

If this were more of a first-rate...... pirate as they say it is real, there would never have been anything so upsetting about being pointed at a star.

But here I am after all a pirate operating in such a country... such a pirate, as it is not strange to be called a pirate at the end of the day.

If that were the case, it would not have been possible, as a matter of course, to say not to be upset in a situation like this one.

"Yes... no, the..."

It's easy to understand that one of the pirates has a mouth cage, but if you look at that attitude, he's hiding something.

(Apparently, there's no rat thing going on)

Determine so, and point your gaze at the ship still floating in the sea.

"I don't know what you guys are hiding, but I'm pretty sure there's someone here, right? Then this one just takes the attitude it deserves. Seto, if anyone comes out of the ship, capture him. Maybe there are more important people on board than we can see how these guys are doing.... the guy who leads this pirate."

Ray's words upset the pirates again... and Ray could have predicted who was on the ship.

(Is this pirate's head... or the guy with some influence, even if it's not your head? I'm pretty sure they admire it for now.)

If the people below hated him, they would not imitate the pirates to take refuge.

At the point of being sheltered that way, it was certain that he was admired from below.

"Well, who is there? Looking forward to it."

That's what I'm saying, I'm getting on the boat.

I felt like the pirates were making some noise behind my back, but Ray was listening to it.

That's why I decided that the pirates couldn't do anything in the current situation more than they were all tied up.

"... I knew it, but you're an old boat for a long time. Well, maybe enough for study to develop a groundship."

The first ship to be housed in the mysteries was more ageing than the one where Ray is now.

Considering that, I needed to convince myself by forcing myself to say so.

If you look around the deck, you can see the door to get inside the ship.

There is only one decent door, but there are also several other doors on the ship's deck.

Is each of them not connected in there, or is it simply a procedure considering the hassle of travel?

Ray didn't even know the neighborhood, but he decided that if we let him in for now, the neighborhood would be clear, and he would head toward the normal door.

Maybe someone in the boat would try to escape through a door on the deck floor, but then Ray had the absolute peace of mind that he would just be caught by Seto.

As you enter the ship through the door, you can see several signs of repair, both inside and outside.

"No one?

I call it that around, but, naturally, there's no response from inside.

After confirming it, Ray explores the signs in the ship.

Downstairs, one sign.

"Down there.... I don't know what the guy in hiding is thinking, but do you really think he can hide and do it awesome?

Whimpering, isn't there some kind of trap being set? While thinking about it, Ray moves down in the ship.

But even after walking down the aisle for a while, there is no such thing as a trap activated.

(Really, what did you think to imitate this? No, well, then I hope it's easier this way)

That's how as we walk in the boat, we eventually arrive at our destination… where there are signs.

That's one of the rooms on the ship.

Except it's not a place like the captain's office, it's a normal room that's nothing.

Right here.

Stopped on his feet, Ray knocks lightly at the door of that room.

Light sounds echo around the perimeter, but there is no particular response from the inside.

After a few seconds, knock again.

Still, there's no response from inside the room, and you can hear waves outside the ship from nowhere around you.

(No, isn't it all kinds of unsavory to hear outside noises in places like this?... Well, as far as this goes, it doesn't seem to be flooded or anything in particular, so I guess it's okay)

If you are flooding just because you are moored, that is not strange whenever you sink in the present situation.

With that in mind, Ray opens the door in front of him.

"Hey, hey, hey!

The moment I open the door, the blade hits me with such a voice.

Calling it sharp for once doesn't help, but there are still signs across the door, and it's probably not hard for Ray, who could have expected to be ambushing, to avoid that blow.

There is nothing particularly surprising or upsetting about it, laying down your body to avoid that attack, while a protruding long sword...... no, grab the wrist of a man holding a weapon that should be called a sabel and use the opponent's momentum as it is to throw it.

"Bye!

The thrown man hit his back against the hallway wall, screaming and crashing to the floor, naturally.

But still, Ray gets a slightly more impressed look when he sees him immediately try to get up with the sabel in his hand.

The earlier blow threw away quite a bit of momentum.

Most importantly, it also meant that the blow of a man who had ambushed Ray was gaining so much momentum.

Anyway, the man gets up in pain and points the cutting edge of the sabel at Ray.

"... you're young"

This is how we face each other, staring at the man's face for the first time, Ray grunting so.

Young, of course, looks a lot older than Ray.

As for my age, I just got into my twenties...... no, young enough to think maybe I'm not even twenty.

Even less, none of the pirates Ray captured was younger than the man in front of him.

From the upper fifties or so and the lower twenties or something like that?

"What are you talking about! There's no such thing as a kid like you telling me you're young!

The man screams as he blushes as he points the cutting edge of the sabel at Ray.

Well, that's right... and while I was convinced of the man's anger, Ray wasn't in any hurry.

If you are normal, bare hands are more overwhelmingly disadvantaged in a situation where you have no weapons or anything, where the other person already has a sabel and is ready to wield it at any time.

But that's only if the power is the same.

If there is a difference in power to the point of being overwhelming...... yes, in the case of a relationship like Ray and the man in front of you for example, it doesn't matter what weapon the other person has.

"Well, I guess so.... So what do we do?

What do we do? And the man who said that turns his gaze to Ray in a way that he doesn't understand what he's being said at first.

"What are you gonna do?"

"You mean keep going like this. You know what I'm talking about? What's the difference between me and you?"

To Ray's words, a man gets stuck in words.

In fact, the difference in power between Ray and a man is between a child and an adult...... no, it's obvious there's more to it than that.

There's no chance that a man can beat Ray, that's all there is to it.

Not only can you not win, but there's no chance you can even escape thinking about it in terms of running away from this scene.

At the point where I know that, I wonder if I'll still resist. That's what Ray asked.

"Gu,... damn... so you can't just crush these pirates you just took over!

"Uh, I see. You know what?"

In the words the man uttered, Ray also understood why such a young man was doing the head of the Pirates.

Still, the fact that those below took refuge is certainly admirable.

Just a blood connection to succeed the Pirates, but if that were all, it wouldn't have meant that the other pirates would admit the person.

"So... so I can't lose or get caught here in a big way, you know!

At the same time as you scream, if you miss the hands of those who don't have a sabel, you try to tap it to the ground...

"Too bad"

With that word, my hand stops moving any further.

Soon... really at some point Ray, who was traveling right to the side of the man, grabbed the man's hand.

Until a moment ago, they would undoubtedly have pointed the cutting edge of the sabel, but if they noticed, they'd be next to the man.

What happened... I had no idea how that could happen to a man.

And without understanding, the hand being held gradually gained strength, and if he noticed, what the man was holding fell to the floor.

It was a matter of a cube large enough to be completely hidden by the palms.

(What? I tried to slap him on the floor in that situation, so he's definitely a tool with some effect... or a magic item, I guess)

What Ray came up with in this situation was a metastatic stone previously used by the people of the Bestian Empire.

But there's no magic formation on the floor, as it should be.

For example, can metastasis just be done by tapping the matter in that cube? And for a moment I didn't even think that such a country pirate could do something that even a state-of-the-art alchemist with whom the Bestian Empire had.

"What is this?

If it's something you don't understand, decide you should ask the guy you know, and Ray asks the guy.

Originally a man tried to use this magic item and thoughts, so it could never be that he didn't know what effect it had.

"Ugh! You can't teach that to your enemies!

"... enemies?

The man gives Ray a strange look for a moment with a questionable look on his face...... eventually realizes that he is not even seen by Ray as an enemy and pulls his cheeks together.

I was a mighty enemy... and that's why Ray didn't even recognize himself as an enemy when he said he felt like a brave man - a pirate - challenging a mighty enemy that he couldn't help.

In fact, given the strength of a man, he can't even be recognized as an enemy from Ray's point of view.

Good point, prey to capture...... something like that.

"Whatever the enemy or not, what kind of magic item is this after all?

"Oh no... you think I'm going to be honest with you about being dealt with like that!

"... you won't tell me? No, well, that's fine if you're going to, but I don't know if this magic item... but I want to know how it works. We're not going to choose any more than that, are we?

Tell him so, Ray puts a little, really little, but effort into the hand that's catching the man's arm.

A man who could only be gently tightened at first, but gradually the power of Ray holding that hand intensified, which distorts the man's face into agony.

"Crouch! but ahhh! Ouch! Damn it, get off me, get off me!

"Unfortunately, I'm not going to do that until you're honest."

Ray could also imagine that it would be a magic item with considerable effect because he tried to use it on such occasions.

What was unhappy for the man was that Ray had a hobby of collecting magic items that would be useful, starting in action.

If you try to lay it like that, you want to know the effect of this magic item, even if it is not.

Not to mention the pirates who know that, and Ray doesn't even have to think about their safety.

The arm of the man being gripped is already tearing his skin and his flesh is crushing.

If we leave it like this, even the bones will definitely be crushed.

The man looked at Ray as he endured the pain...... he felt something cold in his spine.

No, you would be right to say that you felt your life was in danger.

"Ah, it's a smokescreen! This magic item creates a smokescreen based on more than a certain impact!

In the end, the man answered about the magic item.
