Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri (LN)

Episode 146: Towards the South Sea Islands

Two days after the welcome feast in the village of Tax.

We set out for the South Sea Islands.

"Cross this great river by boat"

A short distance from the village, the vast great river was blocking the way to go.

We'll cross here in the boat that Raylan has prepared for us.

"That's a pretty big boat."

It's a boat for transporting supplies, Yamato.

The boat was sturdy made of wood and veterinary skin.

Raylan says it's okay to get a carriage.

"Once you cross this great river, all you have to do is take the land to the water capital"

Confirm her and future routes.

The South Sea Islands, the final destination, cannot be approached by a boat with rough waves.

That's why they need a special boat.

To rent a boat, we stop in the capital of the Nanban tribe.

"All right. It's time to get a carriage on the crossing. Don't forget the fixation."

I give instructions to everyone in the wagon carriage.

There are many other horses in the carriage this time.

Cross the Great River in several parts for that purpose.

There is a distance to the opposite shore, but the waves are also calm, so there will be no danger.

I, the person in charge, gave the instructions and decided to cross them at the end of the day.

"Hmm, kid. You've finished what you asked for."

Gaton comes to report during such a journey.

They said I finished what I asked for. I spent two days in a taxi village renting a blacksmith's workshop.

"This. You're as good as ever, Mr. Jii."

"Hmm. Onushi's the same rough kid."

poisoning with the gatons while checking the finished product.

They Mountain Hole tribes are stubborn and poorly spoken, but their character is straight and pure. I don't hate that kind of interaction with Gaton either.

"Hmm. And you're gonna need such a weird weapon, kid?

"Oh. This southern tree sea environment is special. Just in case."

What I asked for was a new weapon.

That's also from a special use like never before. That's why Gaton was wondering.

"Aquatic spiritual beast. That's more troublesome than everyone thinks. So you might need this."

I'll explain it to Gaton again.

The other day, when I fought Odail, I felt like I was in danger.

In any case, the aquatic spiritual beast was an unprecedented opponent.

The Daiju (Odail) was able to win that time because they came up to land.

But what would have happened if there had been another kind of attack from the water?

He must have been struggling.

"So I'm going to need this... I have a feeling so"

"Hmm. You mean that? Still got my head around me."

The new weapon was based on data from the battle against Daiju (Odail).

It is for combat against underwater spiritual beasts and has no other use at all.

Since handling is a dangerous weapon again, I would like you to end up worried if I can have a hunch.

While we were talking about that, things were going well with the handover.

"Well, it's the last time I give it to you. Let's go, Mr. Jii."

"Hmm. The Washi and the Mountain Hole tribe have ships..."

"Give it up, Mr. Jii"

The Mountain Hole tribe is very vulnerable to vehicles. Among them, the ship is the greatest natural enemy.

I was forced to take responsibility for Gaton's refusal to board.

Safe crossing of the Great River, a few more days.

The wagon carriage was on the beast path towards the water capital.

"If we go this way, we'll reach the Water Capital tomorrow"

The road was going well with guidance from Raylan.

They could have shortened the time to this point on the route known only to the Nambarians.

The first destination, the Water Capital, is finally approaching.

"Nevertheless, Raylan. Weren't the coastal roads shorter?

Hit Raylan with the mundane question.

The taxi at the point of departure was a settlement along the coast. And the water capital beyond is also along the coast in directions.

Then it should have been more linear and closer to going along the coast from the taxi.

"Unfortunately, Yamato, the road along the coast is close to the South Sea Islands. The ancient spiritual beast... is within the reach of the Dragon King."

"I see, is that what you mean"

Convinced by her explanation.

As Sildria told me the other day, spiritual beasts had descended on the seas all over the continent.

Especially in the South Sea Islands, it is said, home to the most horrific spiritual beasts.

And the Nambarians called the spirit beast King of the Water Dragon in awe.

"Aren't the Nanbans going to crusade King Shui Long?

When we first met, the South Barbarian warriors called the South Sea Islands “cursed islands”.

In other words, there will be no good impression on the Dragon King.

"Indeed, the Dragon King is dangerous. But if we don't get close, there's no harm."

Raylan talks about the history of the Nanban and the Water Dragon Kings.

That spiritual beast is in the sea, and he says there are limits to the scope of life of the Nanban people. Few victims have so far.

But I can't help thinking that disaster is the other person. That's what everyone in the Nambarians says they're giving up.

"That's why it's Yamato. It's hard to say, but the coverage that a man named Maria lives..."

Touching on that topic, Raylan clouds his expression.

Maria's flight was also an island in the South Sea Islands. It is the sphere of action of the Water Dragon King and a dangerous place that even the Nanban warriors cannot approach, he said.

"Raylan, don't worry about that. Mr. Riesha, Maria will be fine, won't she?

"Yes...... I think it's ok so far"

Close your eyes a little and then Risha will answer.

She was using it with the power of a slightly lingering soul key (Mana Key).

And my sister Maria felt safe in the South Sea Islands.

"Maria is strong. You won't even win this one with your mental strength."

I remember the great Virgin.

She beat the Heavenly God curse and never lost hope at any time.

I have never succumbed to a single spiritual beast. I sincerely believed that.

"Yamato is right. And, oh, look, Maria's a foodie. I'm more worried about you."

"Right, Sildria. Let's make a treat and pick him up soon!

Everyone but me believed in Maria. As a companion to the painful, they were bound together by hard feelings.

"A companion... a companion over a hedge of peoples or nations..."

Raylan stared narrowly at us like that.

Maybe it's an incredible relationship for her to grow up in a closed tree sea.

"Compared to that... we... I..."

Raylan groans so small that he comes up with a look that comes to mind.

And he turned forward, lest anyone should understand, and returned to guide him to the Water Capital.

"All right, we're gonna camp here tonight."

At my behest, the wagon carriers stop.

The journey on this day also proceeded well, making it time for the camp.

After the camp is ready, have a light dinner. And it was time for sunset bedtime.

"Mr. Riesha, ask for the children. I'll check the perimeter."

"Yes, Mr. Yamato. Take care."

I just put the kids to bed, and I'm going out on patrol.

When the wagon carriers camped, they always set up alert traps around them. It is a response to a dangerous opponent approaching.

He also made regular patrols to confirm the trap.

"All right. This will be all right tonight"

Patrol around the camp to see the last trap. There is no killing power in the trap, but if there is any anomaly, the alarm goes off.

Besides, I don't mind either. It was a body that would wake up instantly if there was any abnormality.

"Well, suppose we go back. Hmm... what's that?

It was when he tried to return to the camp.

I felt signs of people a little further away. We approach quietly as we guard our surroundings.

"Is that Leilan? What's going on here?

It was Raylan who was there.

Fountain a short distance from the carriage. That's where I was all alone.
