Episode 93
"Okay, is this okay?"
I looked at the shrine made by the dog troupe and nodded.
It is a shrine for octopus memorial service.
In this island octopus defeat operation, two horsemen and one mermaid have been lost. Damage much less than expected, but not zero.
For them, it was a mission they couldn't live.
And Belousa sailors have been devastated in the past.
He decided to build a stone monument to serve as both the victory monument and the memorial monument.
I'm Japanese, so I feel like "If you die, you're all Buddha."
At the same time, there is a feeling that "there is no curse to the unbelievable god", that it is good to be worshiped for the time being.
So I decided to worship the island octopus at the shrine. Even a shrine is a small wooden box that can be held under a small armpit.
The design was ordered in a shrine-like atmosphere because no one would know. However, I remember the details.
As a sacred body, the loud arrowhead of the crossbow used to bury the guy is enshrined.
"Wright, what is this?"
The dogs who built the shrine were wondering, so I answered appropriately.
"I'm doing a ritual so that the island octopus doesn't show up again. I'm not a specialist, so I'm just resting."
Alright, let's name it Shima Octopus Shrine.
I paint the paintbrush with black paint and write it in kanji on a picture frame like a Kamaboko board.
Shirobutsu, octopus bastard.
In the next world, I would recommend a werewolf.
And I board the warship Friedenrichter again.
Today, this ship is under Navy Belousa's command. This time I'm riding as a guest, not an admiral. It ’s easy.
“Admiral ! I'm about to sail! Is all of Admiral's minions now !?”
I'm not an Admiral this time. whatever.
I shouted back to Marine Belousa.
"It's everyone! I will leave everything except the werewolf corps and my aides!"
"Ok, Admiral!"
So you're no longer an Admiral.
I only go to Negro to negotiate, so I only take a minimum of escorts and aides.
Specifically, eight people from the werewolf squad, Rashii, and then Parker.
"Don't you look at my face and be rude now?"
Parker says something but ignores it.
"By the way, is Vite, can I really leave the rower to Belousa?
Gersh laughed.
"Don't worry, Belousa has plenty of force!"
When Lashie hears it, he tilts his head.
"But, according to the data of the Senate, Belousa has a population of 2,000, and the guard is assigned a hundred.
so. Belusa is a whole cove town, with many buildings lined up.
In the city, strong guards put their swords on their arms and cross their arms.
Parker mutters.
"Belusa has over 10,000 people and hundreds of guards."
Gursh had a happy face.
"Oh, I guess the population is only 2,000. Belousa is a port city. There are a lot of 'berthed' boats.
"It's a boathouse, that's it."
As I say, Gersh laughs more and more happily.
"No, no, it seems they will leave the port as soon as the wind and the waves are available!"
The captain's laughter makes his minions laugh.
Belousa has a bad deal with the northern cities.
For this reason, the city was narrowly divided and the city walls were set to prevent the city from expanding.
But you can float something on the sea.
So they built a house on the sea in the name of a berth, a ship under construction, or a pier.
It seems that kind of thing.
"Thanks to this, people are coming from here and there in the south. Everyone is waiting for departure."
Whether it's Lunehite or Chardall, you can't increase the population because you're in a similar situation because of the walls.
The north is alarming that cities near them have too much power.
The surplus population of each city then migrates to Belusa and Lozzo on the southern tip. Here you can't reach the Senate.
"My grandfather's hometown is Chardeal."
"My father is from Lünheit. My cousin is at the Lunehite Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh, I'm Tuburn. I came with my family ten years ago."
The Belousa marines greeted me.
Everyone is like this.
Gersh says:
"If we accepted the flowers properly, it was a bad city, and now we ignore the walls and houses are built everywhere. Thanks to Belousa, there are 6,000 standing armies. There is "
`` Six thousand !? ''
Lacy looks surprised and looks around.
"... I'm supposed to say. I'll call and I'll get more."
Belusa seems to be maintaining links with the north by bearing the standing army in the south.
In fact, the standing army only exists on papers, and the "standstill" lives by catching fish and building ships.
I was half-amazed and had no choice but to answer.
"It's a villain"
"Because it's a pirate"
Girsh smiles happily and orders his minions.
"It's time for the guys to set sail! Aim for Lozzo!"
"Hey boss!"
The gong, which signaled the departure, was booming, and five warships slowly began to slide on the sea.
When the ship leaves the bay, the mermaids appear as if they were watching somewhere.
Since defeating the island octopus, the mermaids have been actively interacting with the Demon King Army.
"Oh, Weid, Parker."
"Do you go out?"
"Would you like us to accompany us?"
I will gratefully accept them as they offer.
"We will check the route and go to Lozzo. I'm glad we have as many people as possible."
"I would be happy if it was that much."
If there are underwater reconnaissance personnel, it is encouraging to check the route.
It takes about two days by galley from Belousa to Lozzo. Galley boats that require rest for rowers are slower than sailing boats.
Galleys have the advantage of sailing against the wind and the tide, but sailing ships can also move upwind if they move in a zigzag fashion.
"Isn't it better that I called the skeleton?-They can row day and night."
Parker says that, but I shake my head.
"It's said that Gash's uncle will negotiate. We're scared of the Demon King's army, so we just want to keep it in the form of Belousa's army."
"It's pretty hard for humans too."
"Isn't it really human?"
Parker shrugged with a bitter smile.
"I don't need to eat or sleep, I've forgotten the crush of love if I didn't feel the pain. My human heart gradually faded."
"Oh, I see……"
Well, it was a serious situation.
But soon Parker laughs.
"Thanks to you, you can plan on dropping yourself while you sleep!"
"I'm telling you to stop it! I'll stuff oranges into those hollow orbits!"
"Oh, that's really good! Can I use that next time?"
I love you already.
In the meantime, the voyage went smoothly and Belousa's fleet seized Lozzo's port.
Girsh smiled with his arms folded.
"Land squadron ready to land!"
What came out of the cabin were the evilly prepared men.
Muscle men with mohawks and skinheads carry maces and axes full of thorns.
"Hey, boss!"
"Hychar! Is it your turn !?"
"Your arms ring!"
Where did you come from at the end of the century?
"Hey Gersh, what are you guys doing?"
When I asked, Girsh shrugged.
"If you want to convince Petro's Kojijiji, Rozzo's servant, you need at least this much persuasion."
"Is this something persuasive in Belousa?"
Violence is a mistake.
"Well, leave it here to us. I'm grateful to you. I don't think my step has been fulfilled.
"Hyaha!"
"Olaaaa!"
Is it really safe to leave it to me?
I thought about that, but decided to keep an eye on it.
