The light gradually approaches.

Even so, this is the time of year.

It's not that bright... I just could see the characteristic, burning red light slipping slightly from heaven.

By contrast, deep darkness peeks all the way down mine.

However, if you look closely, some people will notice that there is an odd building there.

That is the Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God, which is said to be the most difficult of the labyrinths present around Lucalis.

Where I was diving until earlier.

And it didn't yield any results... is that too much?

Even so, it's where I couldn't get what I wanted.

Of course, I understood in today's exploration that I'm not going to give up yet, but going ahead inside seems tough.

I've dived many times, and I can say I've searched all over for shallow layers, and I'll have to step a little deeper tomorrow, to the point where I'm determined.

While I'm thinking about it, the water comes close.

And as soon as I stuck it out of my face to break the distracting surface of the top of the sky, my breath became painful.

Asphyxiation is visible as it is, so hurry, but calmly remove the "Air Pipe" that was attached to your mouth and what Lucalis' humans call the "Curse".

Only the "Curse Device" does not immediately lose its potency, and it becomes plain anxious with lugs until it is broken.

But still, in about a dozen seconds, my lung function returned to what it was supposed to be, and I began to inhale the air drifting around as if it were infinite.

"... Phew. Is it sundown already? The ship..."

I try to look around while standing and swimming in the ocean.

In order to get to the Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God, we must always have a boat and a sailor.

Naturally, I didn't leak into that example either, and I had a well-armed sailor and a considerably larger ship.

Sometimes it's hard to find it from here even if it comes up because it's very small.

It was necessary for safety to have a ship the size of which was easy to find, even visually.

Well, if you are somewhat familiar with Chi, it is also possible to scan around a kilometer, and if you say that I am excessively worried because I have the skill, then I can say that it is possible to become a feather that wears off in the Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God and rises without being able to use Chi.

Given that, I'm still not willing to put my life in the hands of a very small ship.

"... there it is. Hey!"

After a short while, the ship was found.

Grab a mirror in your hand and signal as you reflect the sunset, you're approaching this way.

In addition to that ship, there was a regular ship, but the truth is I didn't take advantage of it.

The price was cheaper and it would have seemed better if I used it every day, but when I asked about the situation at the harbor, it was possible that I would have stopped.

The Adventurers' Guild also recommended regular ships, but that's why I personally sign with the sailors to go here every day.

The price is expensive, but not all bad, and it's pretty accommodating, so it's easy.

The regular ship has to swim from here no matter how far up from the sea, but the contracted ship is only me besides the sailor, so he can get as close as possible if he calls me.

And when I got there in front of him, he threw me a rope, so I grabbed it and went up to the ship.

"... intact today? But you don't look very happy, do you?

Only one sailor man who is the crew of this ship... called Mazrac... said that to me when he went from a drifter to one on board.

"Well...... I still didn't get what I was looking for today. You won't even be able to float."

"Doesn't seem like a handful for that..."

"Oh, I've secured quite a few demon stones, demon props, and curses. In the meantime, I need to sell this guy off at the Adventurers Guild and sprain your reward..."

"... my employment fee isn't that high, is it?

"Let's use the rest in the liquor store. You're coming, aren't you?

"Are you sure?

"Well, to the extent that it doesn't stay tomorrow, it is. You're the only one who still lets me out of the ship like this, except for the regular ship... and you're talking about not even letting me out of the regular ship tomorrow, right?

"I'll give you as long as you give me the money. So you need to care...... Huh!?

No, I was about to say, the complexion of the muzzle rack changes.

I also looked in the direction where his gaze pointed, and I saw some shadows approaching this way as they slid over the water where the sun set.

"... you're a kelpy rider! We're getting away!"

Mazrac immediately says so, pulling the reins in his hand and giving instructions to the puller under the water (...).

Then the ship we were on started running to Lucalis in the opposite direction from the current wind direction.

This is what surprised me the most when I first got on the boat at Lucalis.

Lucalis' ship... especially the smaller ships don't move with the power of the wind or magic.

Like a carriage, let the creature pull it and move it.

So, like Mazrac, there is quite a few things about being the owner of a ship this size, but one crew member is the captain.

And depending on the sailor's arm, we can move on wherever we want.

Mazrac is also a finger-fold sailor in this Lucalis, and I know that the technology deserves credit because this has happened many times already.

"... a kelpy rider? I knew that too...... is that what you mean?

Kelpy rider.

It is a term used to refer to a demon general who rides a demon, also known as a sea horse.

I was on my back...... I didn't see it clearly because it was far away, but probably the Sea Knight.

It looks generally like a human being, but I'm pretty sure it's from a distinctive silhouette with an unusually pointy head and a squid impression.

Mazrak nods and then answers to the words I ask.

"Ah. He would be the one who offered the great" Sire of the Demon King ". I don't know what the hell I've ever done to Lucalis... He seems to be a May fly anywhere now."

"Doesn't seem like a big deal for it... I don't know that much about it either, but" Demon King "seems to have all the troops that can destroy a country."

"Sure... intimidation or something? Well, I'm just a seaman, and I don't know what you think of The Demon King. Just..."

"Just?"

"I can only say that they never catch me."

"That's good. I asked for Lucalis."

That said, Mazrac nodded to me, and the ship was able to increase its speed even further... and finally get to the harbor without being caught up.

The best reason I could do that was with Mazrac's arms, but the sea knights stopped chasing us on the way, and pulled.

I'm not sure what the hell it was for...

Well, we have to keep going to the waters around there.

I thought if you weren't careful.
