"Carol, I can chase you!?

"No, I can't. If it's covered in water, it won't leave a smell. And behind this mansion is the river? If I can escape to the sea, I'll be fine."

Carol raised her hand like a long time ago.

"But we have to go after him. Woff probably went to unseal Quadriga. Whatever you do, stop it."

"Right. Rambrick, I knew you couldn't get the ship out?

I nodded at Saluena's opinion and Toslin said so.

"Oh, oh... it's the mountains I want to get out, but it's gonna take me another half day"

"Okay. Carol, contact Mr. Kutuna and the others. I'll go after him on the Flummy."

"Point-aware"

Carol jumps out the window where Mr. Woff walks out and runs away to tell the roof. The speed was just like the wind.

"Rambrick, even if we can't get the ship out, sailors can get it out, right?

"Wait a minute, my head is hanging in there right now..."

"Hold on, Lambbrick"

"Caah!?

Saluena punched Mr. Lambrick in the butt.

"Become, hey!? So, what are you doing?!?

"Now is the time to help. We're gonna get a couple of sailors on loan, okay? All right?"

"Wow, ok!! You can take as many as you want, not to mention a few. And, just in case, we'll get the city ready to evacuate."

"Okay, that's fine"

"But when I come back, I'll have you explain. Hey!? Nice!!

"I wish I had time."

"Okay, that's settled. Then we'll head to the harbor."

"Well, from here on out, it's not a battle with time."

We wasted no time explaining to Mr. Lambrick and we ran to the harbor.

Even though you can't get offshore, at this hour of the week, the harbour is crawling with ships from the inland waters and rivers.

"Mr. Kutuna!!

Among the people unloading, Mr. Lambrick's men led us to the ship where we were safely destined.

Our Flummy was moored in one of the battleships with three masts standing with lots of artillery. Maybe even if not, this big ship next door is the one Mr. Lambrick has for you. Look at the real thing...... No, I looked up and found out how correct Mr. Lambrick's words were when he said it would take time to prepare.

"Carol told me the story. All aboard, please."

After seeing the battleship, the Flummy, which should be relatively large among the merchant ships, looks smaller. I crossed over as Mr. Kutuna pulled my hand over the shaky talap.

"All three of you, I'm sorry to call you out of the blue. But it's a matter of contending for a moment. Then I want you to help me."

The last time Saluena went down to the deck, she spoke to Mr. Kutuna and the Seeds sisters that way.

"If it's all right with us, I'd love to"

"So where do I go?

"We'll take you anywhere. Nevertheless, the outer ocean... is a little harsh on this ship."

Mr. Peachsees and Mr. Plumsees are winding up the mooring rope for both of us. A dozen of Mr. Lambrick's men, who were contacted and moved from the next battleship, begin to help. With enough personnel, the Flummy instantly sailed and was quickly ready to leave the port.

"I see, I understand. We need to avoid the rocky reef, so we'll be a little far away, but I think this ship will get us there in about half a day."

When I showed you the map I brought, that's what Mr. Kutuna said.

"All right, then, will you get on your way?"

"Yes, I understand. Then Peach Seeds, Shh..."

"We're leaving the port! Destination is east coast!! Catch the wind and move on at once!!

Instead of Mr. Kutuna, Laplice, who was out of his bag at some point, screamed like that on the watch deck all the time here.

Though for the treat, he was stressed out because he was in the bag the whole time.

The Flummy left the harbor and a few hours passed. Now it's just the ocean, either way. Sometimes you can see the shore in the distance, but the Flummy, which proceeds to glide over the sea, quickly leaves that view behind.

"Wow, the ship is really fast..."

My first voyage has so far gone well. The pirates never show up, and the monsters haven't attacked me so far.

Occasionally, a little far away for fish, something big jumps and bubbles up, but that's all. There seems to be no imminent danger.

"Well, the Flummy is the fastest state-of-the-art ship the Golby Chamber of Commerce has."

As he stood at the bow and bathed himself in the sun's rays and sea breeze all over his body, that's what Mr. Peach Seeds, who stood next to him at some point, said. Her dark hair and brown skin floated in her hometown of Sorletta, but it's so natural under this blue sky. Healthy and somehow dazzling and beautiful.

"Really?

"That's right. It's inferior to a three-mast ship on a boulder, but I think it's the fastest ship this size. At least there wasn't such a great ship in my country of birth."

"Really...... Would it be all right if you lent me such an amazing ship?"

"It's okay. That makes Golby a decent guy. You saw me unloading in all kinds of cities until we got here, right? Don't worry, you're making a good profit."

"Well, that's fine..."

"... than that, hey... is it true you were kidnapped?

Mr. Peach Seeds lowered his voice so that the sailors around him wouldn't ask.

"Uh... uh...? Who the hell did you get that from?

I'm not sure if I can talk to you, and I'll pinch the question to the question.

I heard your sister talking to Kutuna.

"Oh, right. Uh, yes, it's true."

"Were you okay? Were you hurt?

If your sister talked to you, you don't even have to hide it. When I thought so and nodded, Mr. Peachsees instantly looked worried.

"Yes, I had a little mole (bruise)..."

"Oh yeah, good...... no, not good though. But I'm glad you're okay."

"I'm sorry to bother you"

"Absolutely. I'm not done paying you back, so be careful."

That's what Mr. Peachsees said and laughed as he tapped me lightly on the shoulder. You look adorable just to be normal, but when you laugh, your white dog teeth peek and look extra cute.

"Yes, I'll be careful"

I get a smile on my face, and I smile back like that, too. But it was then.

"Ugh..."

My gaze lifted up gleefully and unexpectedly. Immediately after that, my gaze drops on my own this time.

My feet stopped forgiving me and I grabbed the abyss of the ship in a hurry.

"Are you okay?"

Mr. Peach Seeds rushed over to me and grabbed my shoulders.

"Ah, yes. It's okay. But..."

"You don't have to worry. We were talking before we left port, weren't we? There's a rocky reef ahead, so we need to make a detour offshore."

"Oh, so that's this shake, huh? Awesome wave......"

Push up the deviated glasses, stare at them and look offshore. Then there were a number of high waves. I guess the Flammy suddenly started to rock because the aftermath is constantly pushing over here.

"It's not just the waves. There are lots of vortexes out there. If you're a big ship, you'll still be dragged in by a small ship."

"Dragged in...... Uh, what about the Flummy?

Imagine the sight of each ship being sucked into the bottom of the ocean, with its spine relaxed.

"You don't have to worry. Because Kutuna won't be such a jerk."

Mr. Peach Seeds didn't say he was fine. I guess that means that a ship this size will swallow it.

"This is why Mr. Lambrick said you can't get out of the ocean..."

"What do you know about him? Now..."

Mr. Peach Seeds looks around and squeals so. At the end of its eyes are sailors who unnecessarily expose their burnt skin to the sun and move around laughing happily among their peers. They are all of Mr. Lambrick's children (which is what he really said), more skilled than the Seeds sisters in manipulating the ship.

"Thanks to you, I can't help it."

"Excuse me......"

"It's not about you apologizing, is it? You really are humble. I wish I'd been more prestigious because I became a princess."

"No, that's..."

"I know. That you're not that guy."

Mr. Peach Seeds poked his finger at my head laughing. When I met her, I only saw her face, so I didn't know, but this guy is a good laugher. And someone whose expression changes a lot. 'I never get tired of watching' people if I borrow Carol's words.

"You have a quadriga sealed at the bottom of that ocean."

"Mr. Peach Seeds, too, the legend of that city?

"Yes, in general, the sea of wishes has become more famous and completely tourist, but among us adventurers, this city is still the sleeping city of the wind tyrants."

Mr. Peach Seeds' eyes are heading straight offshore. Under the blue sky, dancing crazy and twirling sea surfaces.

"Sailors have never seen the sea so rough. They said it might be Quadriga that's responsible for this big deal."

"... of Quadriga..."

"... could it have something to do with the fact that I'm in a hurry right now and the large (...) keg (...) in front of me?

Mr. Peach Seeds turned his curiously colored gaze to me. For a moment I wonder how I should answer this question.

You can't tell her the situation from scratch. Because if we try to do that, we'll have to talk about dark elves, too. But she is responding to our request and cooperating with us. I also wonder if it would be unreasonable not to tell such a person anything.

"Not yet, I don't know"

So I just answered yes.

Don't lie to me, but do what you can, to the best of my ability.

"Yes..."

Mr. Peach Seeds could not have come any further. Instead, he grabbed my shoulder lightly again.

"You should be through the rock reef in about an hour. That way, the destination is at the end of your eyes and nose. I think it's time we started getting ready to disembark."

"Yes, I understand."

When I left the bow, I watched offshore again for the last time. The rough pattern of the sea, visible even from here far away, I see, also seemed to be the Lord of the Wind waving his authority, called the tyrant.

Zapah, Zuzu... and the tip drew the sand from the beach, and the Flummy stopped.

When the sun passed Jomtien and began to tilt. We passed the ladder down to the beach.

"The place shown on the map is a short walk west of here, isn't it? It basically feels like walking along the beach, but I think we're just going to cross the desert a little along the way."

Kutuna explained that to everyone while pointing to the map your sister had, but the last words were directed at me. This is what she says out loud. 'Are you all right?'.

"By then the sun will be tilting and the sun will be somewhat weaker"

Your sister looks at me and says so. Unlike Mr. Kutuna's considerate gaze, which your sister turns to me, it's no different than usual. Speaking of differences, did you ever slightly catch your mouth the moment you saw me? 'The eyes say things as much as the mouth,' but only this time, that mouth was the one that spoke. 'So you're gonna be okay, right?'.

I don't want to betray your sister's trust in me. I don't just want to be sweet about kindness. So I carried my backpack firmly and nodded.

"All right, I'll go then."

Mr. Kutuna and the others are supposed to stay here and wait for us to return.

When will you come back to fulfill it? Is it tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or... more later?

(At that time, I hope you're with Mr. Woff)

With that in mind, I started walking following my sisters.

The skies I looked up to. I feel something at that end and my eyes turn to you naturally.

Far off the coast sky. I made sure to look down at the rough sea, and there was a big big black cloud floating around.
