Episode 68 Reunion, Lord of Floating Ships
After that, after receiving the ship Bahamut threw at us, we decided to return to the empty island.
Because to ensure the safety of the sailors who would be in the protected ship.
To make sure the sailors on this battleship, the Goodluther, are safe.
Fortunately, Bahamut just threw a boat at me and didn't look like he was going to chase this one.
It was probably intimidating to throw a ship at me, too.
However, if Bahamut, which I know, was a bit of a clap out because he hasn't hesitated to chase me at a time like this.
And for that reason, we are fortunate enough to drop the Goodluther on an empty island and enter the ship.
"Are you all right?!?"
The ship was lit with magic lights, and the situation inside could be confirmed, albeit dim.
Dishes, tools, etc. were scattered all over the ship, as if they had encountered a major cloud.
Fortunately, the chairs and desks were fixed to the floor, so that didn't seem like something that would get the injured out.
"Who..."
A familiar voice was heard from behind the ship.
The voice was stiff and a strong vigilance was felt.
"It's me, it's Lex, Mr. Byrne!
"... Rex, you say!?"
Mr. Byrne showed up as he made a noise of hitting or kicking something with a gatando tan from behind the ship.
You hit it somewhere, scratches everywhere.
"Oh. aren't you really a boy!?"
Mr. Byrne gives a happy voice.
"It's been a while. Is everyone else all right?
"Oh, I managed to be safe! Well, if I suddenly thought the ship rocked so badly, now I was wondering what happened because it was suddenly quiet, but what if you helped us!?"
"Well, is that what happens?"
"Ooh! Still?"
When Mr. Byrne speaks loudly of joy, he speaks toward the back of the ship.
"Pleasure, gentlemen! Less... Rex, you rescued us!
"... Rex?
"Lex?
Little by little, the sailors begin to see their faces from behind the ship.
"It's true, it's Lex."
"Did we really help that Lex was here?"
"Naturally! It's that Rex!
"Isn't that right!? Lex would be one shot at a demon like that!
Wait, did you just overestimate something about me or do you not recognize it in a weird way?
But I'm sorry to water the sailors' delights, so I dare to swallow those words.
"Mr. Rex!
Turning from behind the ship to the voice calling me anew, there was an unexpected figure there.
"Mr. Meilene?
How dare you stay there was Mr. Mailene from the seaside country.
"Why would Mr. Meilene?
Is that it? Mr. Byrne and Mr. Mailene are people from another country.
And yet, why are you even on this ship to Mr. Mailene?
"Lord Rex, what's going on inside?
And I hear Mr. Carm from the outside.
You shouldn't, you have to explain the situation to them, too.
"Let's just go outside. You'll also need to treat the injured."
◆
"Area heels!
I treat the wounded gathered in one place with a range healing magic.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, so I'm glad it was just an easy treatment.
"No, it's Lord Rex to recover a dozen wounded in an instant."
With that said, the vice president comes to say thank you.
"No, it's easy range recovery magic."
"No, such restorative magic is my first ear..."
With a sweat on his forehead, the vice president says that.
Church of the Inner Ocean. So no one can use range restoration magic?
Well, a cleric who thinks about fattening his personal belly doesn't keep his magic training busy, so maybe he can't help it either.
"If it's a big church in Wangdu, some people can use range restoration magic, right?
"Yes...... is it?
The deputy director frowned and feels half-hearted, but there are usually plenty of people who can use range recovery magic.
"... What Lord Rex calls the King's Capital, if any, the King's Capital of the Holy Land? Indeed, in that country, where the Virgin is present, there will be monks who can use the same great magic..."
The deputy chief started thinking with a bump, so I headed down to Mr. Carm and Mr. Byrne, who are discussing it.
"Thank you for accepting us this time."
"It was originally decided to capture intruders into our country for whatever reason, but if your lords are friends with Lord Rex, we would welcome them."
"I appreciate that. Less... thank you for your guidance, Lord Rex."
"Yeah, absolutely."
He usually calls me Mr. Byrne, a boy, but in times like this, he calls me by my proper name.
But why is my name in the conversation anyway?
"By the way, where is the Holy Sky Kingdom Seraphium? I had no idea where I was flying because that giant demon rushed me aboard when I was taken to the sky."
Uh, sure, if you're not hiding in the ship, you don't know when you're gonna be upside down on the ground.
What's more, the place in this country is more surprising than Mr. Byrne thinks, isn't it?
"Mr. Byrne, this country is one above the plains just south of the seaside country."
"On the countries of the South? I mean, a little more than north, right?
I'm sure Mr. Byrne thinks of geography near the inner ocean in his brain, but it's a little different.
It's not on the plane drawn on the map, is it?
"No, not on the map, literally on the sky"
"On the sky?
Tilt your neck to see what Mr. Byrne means.
"This is an empty island, an island that floats above the sky."
……
What's Mr. Byrne talking about? He just looks at me with his eyes.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It can't be that the island floats above the sky."
Well, I was willing to be told this from the reaction you had when you were Liliera.
It seems that these days people don't really want to know anything other than where they live.
If you do a little research, you'll get as much information on the land outside as you can.
Although the ex-Refugee Carm's can't help it, isn't it bad to be oblivious to information outside until the Byrnes, who have long been a family of knights?
"Mr. Byrne, and the sailors, please come here."
At times like this, it's faster to show the real thing than to explain.
I'm taking everyone on the Good Luther to the edge of the empty island.
"Watch your step and look down. Oh, don't get too close to the edge!
Mr. Byrne and the others look down.
What was this at first? So, it was the face that gradually changed the look on everyone's face when they blued or rounded their eyes.
"Shit, boy!? What the hell is this?!?"
Yeah, yeah, looks like we all figured out where we put ourselves.
"As I said earlier, this is an island floating in the sky called an empty island. You've all been transported to this island by Bahamut."
"Sky... Island..."
◆
"After the boy left, we were to discuss the treatment of the demon."
Though Mr. Byrne was shocked to learn that they had been brought to the sky, putting some time aside allowed him to calm down a little bit and tell his story.
"There was intense rhetorical strife between us, who started the Kraken case and captured the demon, and the two countries, who claimed that the demon was in their own hands because it was a case that happened in their own country. As a result, the demon's identity was taken over by both countries to extract information."
So, is it true that Mr. Mailene was accompanying him as a messenger from a seaside country?
"But when we were carrying the devil by boat, that giant demon suddenly attacked us, and we were taken away from every ship to the sky. We fled aboard in a hurry to avoid being dropped on the ground, but at that point the devil fled us."
"The magically sealed demon escaped!?"
That's crazy. There is no way that the demon man who was placed under arrest could escape on his own.
And that reminds me of Bahamut, who grabbed Mr. Byrne and the others by boat.
Could it be that Bahamut, like Kraken, has a demon involved...
"Later, Rex, as you know. I really appreciate your help."
When Mr. Byrne salutes me, the sailors behind him salute me.
"No, I didn't make a big deal out of it because I just picked up a flying ship."
……
What's the matter, guys? Such a serious face.
"Mr. Rex."
"Yes?"
"Do you mind? Normally, a human being can't take a ship?
"Yeah, I know. So I used magic in combination to take it. I can't take it for myself."
"" "" You know what I mean!! ""
What are you talking about? Why are you yelling?
"Well, it's about Mr. Rex."
Ms Liliera is following up with a bad idea. That's not a follow up, is it?
"Uhm, I'm sure it's you, Rex"
Huh? That convinces everyone!?
"But you're in trouble. How am I supposed to get off the ground, like an island in the sky?"
Having regained their calm, Mr. Byrne and the others begin discussions about the future.
"I'd have to think about bringing home this Goodluther, which the military paid a fortune to build, but I can't even figure out how we're gonna get back before then."
Uh, it's a state-of-the-art battleship.
If you leave this on an empty island, it will be devastating.
"Lord Rex, if you were Lord Rex, who can use flying magic, would you be able to bring this ship down to the ground?
That's when the deputy chief looked at me and asked me that.
"Oh well! I'm sure it would be possible for the boy who took this ship!
Hmm, put this ship on the ground...
"I think I can do that..."
"Oh, you mean!? Let's go!
"There's just no river around here with as much depth and width to run this ship, is there? It's an inland area."
"What!?"
Yeah, I didn't see a big river like that until I got here with flying magic.
So just putting it down on the ground would end up requiring a great deal of personnel, budget and time to carry.
Negotiations with neighbouring countries will also be necessary.
"Ooh, I didn't know there wasn't even a big river..."
There's nothing you can do about all the bad locations.
"Well, let's talk about the ship later. If it's just Mr. Byrne and the others, we'll take you to the ground."
"Um, right. Saving your life, but wanting you to carry it to the ship is just a luxury. I'm sorry, boy. Could you take 85 of us to the ground?
"... 85 people?
"Mm-hmm? Yeah, not only because of the sailors on my ship, but also because of the messengers, including Lord Maureen, who was planning to head to my country more than Vertino.... No way!?"
Mr. Byrne is in a hurry, but there's nothing wrong with just carrying him.
But it's also a pain in the ass to carry that number.
One person at a time would be the limit if Mr. Liliera helped me, and Mr. Carm and his blades were repaired and performance returned, but it's basically for one person, so it's kind of a good idea to carry an adult male.
Hmm... it's a hassle, so I was wondering if I could modify it so I could fly the ship.
Fortunately, there are many materials on this island that can be converted into flying magic items.
"Mr. Byrne."
I speak to Mr. Byrne. [M]
"What boy?
"It takes a little time and effort to carry you all one at a time. So, can we work on the boat a little bit to get everyone together?
"On the ship? Well, it's useless as it is. If it's meant to be used to get you down to the ground quickly, you can have it. We'll have to stay here one way or the other."
All right, I also got Mr. Byrne's permission, so Mr. Carm's next.
"Mr. Carm. I'd like to ask the Sky King for permission."
"To Your Majesty?
Mr. Carm asks me what it is. [M]
"Actually..."
"Ha, do you want a lot of stones on this empty island? You don't even need permission if it's about stone, but if Lord Rex says so, I'll ask."
Yeah, because you want the gravium contained in the land of the empty island.
Nevertheless, gravium was once a prohibited product in the sky continent.
So for once, we have to get permission from the King of the Sky, the King of the Nation.
And a few hours later, permission to use Sky Island material was granted via Mr. Carm, who returned from Sky Castle.
"If the troubles just disappear, you can give me as many stones as you want."
Apparently it took me a while to get back because I was reporting on Mr. Byrne and the others.
"Normally, Lord Byrne and the others would have to be captured, too, because after hearing that I knew Lord Rex and he looked terribly nasty, you said to let him go home."
I don't think it's the Lord of one country, but it won't take much extra time, okay?
Now I can do the material athe, and I'm going to finish the modification.
Sometimes I modify it as a regular flying magic item, but the size of this ship is a bit short of handheld material right now, so let's modify it into a Gravium-based airship this time.
◆
My name is Byrne Dobag.
He is captain of the newest battleship, the Good Luther, as head of the Rosewood Domestic Knights of the Sea.
And now he's the man who's equal to losing a real ship.
A man who was then also escaped by his captors.
Well, the more I think about it, the harder it gets.
But fortunately, thanks to the boy, the lives of all his men were saved.
I was surprised at a place called the Empty Island, but thanks to the boy, Ate was able to return to the ground.
Love ships will be lost instead.
Oh, what harsh punishment awaits, such as the loss of the army's newest battleship, after less than a month.
My stomach is hurting now.
Besides, the love ship said that the boy would do something to get us off the ground.
Probably going to make something like a big tanka out of the deck to carry multiple sailors together.
It's pathetic that the end of a ship made of legendary demons, enchanted plant materials, is Tanka.
And the next morning, a boy came to us who had a wild boarding house and revealed the night.
"We're done improving the ship!
An improvement, or a magnificent turn from a battleship to a tanka.
"Well, this is what the new Good Luther looks like!
And, what the boy pointed to was my love ship, which was supposed to have been dismantled parts of the deck.
"Boy, what's new?
Didn't you make a tanka to carry us to the ground?
"Whoa, you don't know just from the outside, do you? Then I'll actually move it."
That's how the boy goes up on the ship and grips the wheel.
"Move?"
I don't really understand what the boy is trying to say.
"Now, the nascent Good Luther is on its way!
Yes, the moment the boy said it, my ship rose.
It floated in the universe.
"" "" "" What...?
The ship is floating.
It's not a mistake, you can see the bottom of the ship.
"What's this all about, boy?"
Didn't my ship get made of tanka material!?
"No, I had trouble carrying them all, so I converted this ship to a airship so I could carry them all at once."
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
"This would be easy to carry you all around, wouldn't it?
I don't know, but there's something I can say for sure.
That's...
"" "" "It has to be easy!!" ""
Now the sailors of the Good Luther and the guests from Vertino are in one mind.
