Nido Tensei Shita Shounen wa S Rank Boukensha Toshite Heion ni Sugosu ~ Zense ga Kenja de Eiyūdatta Boku wa Raisede wa Jimi ni Ikiru ~

A single battleship continues along the sea route of the inner ocean.

"Ha ha ha, that's the sharpest battleship fast! You'd think so, too, Mr. Rex!

"... yeah, that's right"

I barely reply to Mr. Byrne, who is coming. [M]

"This brave figure! My beloved ship, the Good Luther, is just the champion of the sea!

While the newest sharp battleship with a very ominous name felt a little damp overall, it was thrusting the sea lane gnarly.

"Suggy this ship! Quickly! The neighborhood fishermen's grandfathers' boats don't look like shit!

Gyro, I'm excited about the speed of the ship you wind off.

"Ha ha, you're right, boy! Anyway, not only does my ship get wind, but wind wizards and water wizards are taking turns accelerating the ship! It's 1.5 times faster than a regular battleship!

"Captain, please don't talk military secrecy briefly"

The deputy leader complains as he wrinkles between his eyebrows.

In fact, the figure of 1.5 times is pretty awesome.

Besides, at cruise speed, a sole means more speed when it's combat speed.

However, ships that are too fast place a strong strain on the hull due to water resistance and strong winds.

This ship could have achieved an overwhelming speed, probably because enchanted plants are used in many of its materials.

"This ship made of enchanted plants, which can be light and stiff, is just the right performance to call it an unsinkable ship!

Uh, didn't you overturn it recently?

"But it's really fast."

"Or is it good to be on the most advanced ship to us?

"We're Lex's disciples, so is Lex's party."

Mina and the others are excited about the speed of the ship without thinking about the details.

I don't know why this is happening, or why Gyro and you are here.

Everything goes back a few days, yes.

"Is this an investigation of estuaries?

We came to the Adventurer's Guild when Mr. Ronzen called us.

And Mr. Ronzen asked me to investigate the estuary, the exit of the inner ocean.

"Oh, the Kraken incident that has plagued the inner ocean here recently, plus the recent arrival of Megalo Whale juvenile fish. I just think there's something going on out there."

Mr. Ronzen spreads the map over the table and starts explaining.

"The Inland Ocean is an inland ocean where large craters and giant cracks stretching from them connect to the sea. In that sense, it's close to some kind of artificial lake."

Point to the inner ocean, and circle at your fingertips as you follow the narrow line that extends from it to the estuary on the outer periphery of the continent.

"So the river width is narrow for the depth of the water compared to the normal straits. Perfect terrain to stop aggression from other countries."

He's a tough guy to attack.

"Nevertheless, as in this case, if you get attacked by a big, S-ranked demon, you can do nothing about it."

The most advanced warships have been overthrown twice.

"If you're an enemy on the ground, you can still do it, but if you can escape in the water, you're lucky."

I couldn't crusade for the same reason when I was in Kraken, could I?

"If Kraken dwells near the estuary and Megalo Whale comes after it, we need to deal with it in a hurry. If we stay like this, there's a chance the Kraken and Megalo Whale kids will be living in the inner ocean in a while."

Sure, if you want to fix the problem, you have to get rid of the cause.

"It's just..."

And here Mr. Ronzen puts his finger between his eyebrows.

"Is something wrong?

"The sea in the estuary is the territory of another country. So if we're going to do an investigation, we need to be accompanied by an envoy from our country."

"Are you a national envoy?

"Oh, in that case, we need people who work in the inner ocean to explain things smoothly."

Is that it? I kind of have a bad feeling...?

"In other words, human beings involved in the inner ocean in our country..."

It was when Mr. Ronzen's verbal butt got smaller.

"That's me!

The van and door open and someone comes inside with Zukazka.

"My name is Byrne Dobag! I'm captain of the latest battleship, the Good Luther, as head of the Rosewood Domestic Knights of the Sea!

"A state-of-the-art battleship is certain..."

That's the ship that was being thrown by that Kraken or overthrown by a megalo whale juvenile, right?

"Yes! A miracle ship made of material from the legendary S-ranked demonic enchant plant to enhance the naval power of our country!

Well, I think it's a great ship that hasn't sunk yet.

This request will require you to act with Lord Dobbag.

"Whoa, my thing is good at burn! You and I are going to be on the same boat!

Wow, I don't know... I guess he's not a bad person, but what is it?

This fortitude reminds me of Mr. Roddy, an S-rank adventurer.

Maybe the kind I'm a little bad at.

"I've heard about you guys. You're an expert in marine distress rescue who saved me and my men thrown out into the ocean. Right! Thank you for saving everyone's life!

"Huh?"

What am I talking about? and turn back to Mr. Ronzen.

"Well, that's it. You don't want to get into too much trouble, do you?

Oh, Cheng Cheng. He said he didn't want to stand out at the Squid Festival, so he considered the area.

That's just getting into guild length status, and I'm good at drawing around.

"I would have liked to thank the adventurer who crusaded that giant demon if I could, but he told me he didn't know the details about the man either. I wonder how itchy he is."

Oh, Mr. Ronzen turned away behind me.

Is he supposed to tell me what it is?

"That's why the adventurer couldn't do it, but I think this guy would be helpful in the investigation."

"Well, we've actually been saved, so I have no objection to letting you join the investigation team!

"Er, I didn't say I'd take the request yet..."

I hope you don't take it personally.

Then Mr. Ronzen speaks to us with a serious face.

"Honestly, this country isn't the only problem with Kraken and Megalo Whale. And the battleship that I put in with the ringtone was like that."

"Oh, that was just not used to my newest ship yet! If my men get used to handling the ship, they won't be afraid of Kraken or anything! But I think it's cheating to attack with a lot of tentacles!

That's Kraken's basic method of attack.

"Because of this situation, I want at least the means to protect the sailors. I'm not asking you to step forward and fight, but why don't you help me with the investigation?

Hmm, I mean, Mr. Ronzen doesn't have to risk fighting and finding out his identity.

At the very least, you want me to protect the sailors.

Surely then you are not worried that the Knights will find out about the evil conspicuously?

"Okay. If you want to rescue a shipwreck, I can help you."

"Thanks, brother."

"Oh, thank you, boy!

Mr. Byrne comes shoulder-to-shoulder.

"Uh, it's Lex."

"It's Liliera. Well, if Mr. Rex takes it, I have no objection either."

"Uhm! Nice to meet you both!

Thus we went to investigate the estuary in the form of cooperation with the Knights... but that was not the end of the story.

"I found it, brother. No!

A familiar voice sounds in our ears coming out of the business reception room.

"Is that you, Gyro?"

Yes, it was the gyros who called me.

"My brothers won't be here when I get back, and I have a letter to put down. So I rushed after them -!

"Thanks to you, we will rest in peace, and soon we will be forced into this town."

"Hey, take a break, will you...?

"I want to have dinner"

It wasn't just you, Gyro, it was Mr. Mina, Mr. Norb, and Mr. Megli.

"Maybe they're all chasing us?

I left a letter just in case, but I didn't expect to catch up because I wasn't willing to stay that long.

"Naturally! I'm your brother's cousin!

"You can't leave this fool alone, can you?

Cheng Cheng, Gyro, you ran out and everyone rushed after it.

"Hmm, are these boys one of yours?

Mr. Byrne sees Gyro as worthy of you.

"Ouch! We're Lex's brother's brothers and disciples!

"No, because we're not brothers."

"Well, I mean, you guys are master apprentices in maritime distress rescue!

"I don't know, but I do!

"Don't tell me. Don't answer me!

Wow, I'm getting a chaotic sight -.

I mean, I suddenly got busy as soon as everyone got here.

"Who is this old man, by the way, brother!?"

This man, Mr. Byrne Dobbag, is our client.

"Last name means noble!?"

Correct your posture while Mina says she sucks.

"You don't have to worry about it. Call me Mr. Byrne if you like."

"Ha ha..."

He's a pretty frank guy.

"But right. A boy's apprentice? Hmmm......"

Mr. Byrne puts his hand on his jaw so that he can think of something.

And you made a decision about something, and I slapped my hand in the pom.

"Be good! I'll allow you to join the fact-finding team as boys' apprentices, too!

"Huh!? What are you talking about!?"

"Oh, I don't know what it is, but you're the one who understands the story! Yes, I'm Lex's brother's best apprentice! Helpful!"

"Ha ha, he's a mighty boy!

I kind of agree with you two.

"Uh, Mr. Rex...... can I ask you for an explanation?

Mr. Norb, who had just been cut off from breath, finally recovered and asked me for more information.

"Uh, a little bit of a request from the Adventurer Guild. So now you've decided to join us."

"Huh? Why are we even here?"

"I hope so, especially Gyro!

"Oh, oh!? My brother expects me!? Seriously! Finally, I'm the one who told you to forgive me!?"

In my words, Gyro, I give you your thankfully moist voice. [M]

Yeah, I hope so.

As Mr. Byrne's counterpart!

We got a new request and we were supposed to rendezvous with the Gyros.

◆

"Hey, Mr. Rex. Can I ask you a favor?"

Liliera talks to me from the edge of the Good Luther.

"What is it, Mr. Lilliera?

It sounds strangely disturbing, but is there something bothering you?

"Actually, I have some magic I need you to tell me."

"Is it magic you want me to tell you?

What the hell do you want to learn to bother asking me to?

"Yeah, I want you to tell me the magic."

"Yes."

"It's flying magic!

What a flying magic Mr. Liliera used to ask me to carry Mr. Liliera and Moffmoff.

"I don't mind that, but why at this time again?

Nothing. I'll be fine when I get home from Wang Du.

Do you want to devote this time to training because you're free on the move?

"'Cause you almost sank this ship twice. So I'm afraid I'm going to eat the convoy if I don't make sure I have the means to escape!

"Cu!"

I'm totally convinced.

Yeah, I do know how that feels.

Honestly, I was worried that I might sink again.

"Well, if that's the case, you can't help it."

"Yeah, I mean it! Before it sinks again!

"Cucumber!"

Isn't it rude to think about sinking just as definitively?

◆

"Hey, you."

I was talking to Mr. Liliera about his upcoming training, and the sailors on the Goodluther talked to me.

"Yes, what is it?

"The captain told me that you were helping us when the Megalo Whale turned us over and threw us out into the ocean?

"Huh? Oh, yes, for once"

"Oh, because I didn't do anything. He's the only one who helped."

"I knew you were."

When the sailors nod, for some reason, the other sailors gather to me.

Oh, Mr. Liliera, don't take your seat off silently! Even Moffmoff!

"Thanks to you, I'm saved! Thank you!

"" "" Thank you!! ""

The sailors bow their heads at once and thank me.

"No, no, don't worry about it. Wouldn't it be natural to help if someone was in trouble!

But the sailors shook their heads to the side.

"No, accidents at sea are always on paper with death. It's not often that it doesn't help how quickly you act. Besides, if that's a storm or a demon raid, it's even worse. We were saved because of you. How grateful or not enough to be alive right now!

Trouble is, I'm not thanking you for exaggerating like this.

"Besides, you must be the one who took the ship that was thrown away during the water intake ceremony, right?

"Huh? What are you talking about?

I'm sorry to hear you exaggerate any more.

Let's just say that this is a place to rip Shira off.

"... if that's what you say, that's what I'll do. But we appreciate your help twice. So if anything happens, I promise I'll help you! Hang on to the honor of the man of the sea!

When they finished saying that, the sailors returned to their quarters as if nothing had happened.

"... for Christ's sake, this is why the Han of the Sea is so stiff in law"

I remember the Hans of the Sea who saved a dangerous place in their previous life. [M]

I didn't really remember who I helped or anything because I fought as a hero then, but I still remember well when I helped the Hans of the Sea.

Honestly, I thought they were hot and bitter then, but now that I remember, you haven't changed the minds of the Hans of the Sea in years, you feel a little tickled.

"What's the matter, Mr. Rex? Sounds kind of happy, though?

Suddenly Mr. Liliera stares at my face as she says that.

"Huh? No, anything."

"Hmm. Well good. It's kind of unusual, 'cause I looked like I'd miss something."

Wow, it's surprisingly good to guess.

But...

"By the way, how could you just run away from us earlier?"

Yeah, I haven't forgotten.

"Let's get back to training!

Right. Looks good. I'll think about your training!

◆

"Captain! Something's coming from the front! It's not a ship!

We were on a smooth sailing trip, but it looks like we're finally in trouble.

"All personnel alert!

Following Mr. Byrne's instructions, the sailors move to all parts of the ship with bows and long spears.

"Confirm what the subject looks like! It's a bunch of demons!... many!?"

The sailor on the lookout raises his surprise.

"If it's a lot, I don't know! How long have you been here?"

"I don't know! Too many to know how many there are!

To Mr. Byrne's reprimand, the sailor on the lookout also voices confusion.

"Captain, I see you!

Hear the sailors in formation at the bow, and everyone's gaze concentrates forward.

There was a flock of demons of aquatic habitat enough to fill the edge to edge of the river width.

"" ""... many!! ""

That's really as many words as there are.

Long depth as well as width.

The demons are too close to each other to count the numbers, not very much.

"What a number!

"More than that. Then we're gonna bump into a ship! There's no gap to avoid."

"The demons aren't trying to avoid us either!?"

As if something were chasing us, the demons are coming this way with great momentum.

"Ican, I can't get around to intercepting!

Mr. Byrne speaks in a hurry.

"Do you want to help?

"No, can't you guys say that your job is to help with investigations and emergency rescue... etc. Excuse me, I need your help."

"Okay."

"Brother, we can help you too!

"I can now use simple attack magic, too, and I'll cover you."

Gyro and Liliera seem willing to fight together. [M]

"All right, then I'll magically break the enemy avant-garde posture, so everybody just focus on the attack."

"Okay."

"Leave it to me."

"I'll treat the injured when they get out!

"Cu! Jurli"

You're all motivated.

"Gentlemen! We will cover you with magic! You're about to tease the enemy's nose, so do it where you're frightened!

"Ouch!

"Leave it to me!

The sailors make a grip and respond.

When I head to the bow, I unleash magic to intimidate the first enemy.

"Then come on! Blazing geezer!!"

Magic is activated, and the water column rises directly below the impending demons.

Blazing Geezer, that's offensive water magic that generates tons of geysers and blows enemies away.

Even so, well, all you can defeat with that is the miscellaneous fish, and it only helps to the point of breaking posture or poking an impression that your strong enemy is your opponent.

But in a situation like this, suddenly being attacked from the bottom helps to deflect the target's consciousness.

"Come on, guys! I'm on it!

I send everyone a signal of attack. [M]

"... that?

But for some reason, no one is attacking the demons.

"Hey, guys, what's going on?

Turning around, everyone is pointing up.

"Up?"

There are many black dots floating in the sky when you look at them.

And everyone pointed their fingers forward.

"Previous?"

Looking forward, there was not a single demon.

"Is that it?"

There's a lot of black dots up there, and there's no demons in front of you.

"That means..."

"" "I don't have anyone to blow it all up and attack." "

Yes, you are all right.
