"Whoa, were you okay over there, Tanatos?
"Oh. I knocked him down because there was a big demon. It was strong."
"The fact that Tanatos is strong is a pretty good opponent. Looks like Vargas was in a lot of trouble too. This place is a little dangerous."
Moving around the jungle, my exploration team finally succeeded in finding one needy rescuer.
Apparently, he was breaking his leg bone by failing to land.
Soon I used [recovery] and went back to the tower where I was based.
I heard a loud noise along the way.
It was the sound of something fighting.
Dangerous, but we rushed to the spot to get in trouble even when we came to base.
That's where the Vargas team was fighting the demons.
It was the same demon we ran into.
Vargas was preventing that demon from attacking me as I ran around at a very fast speed, despite the big figure.
Vargas continues to withstand even attacks from demons while increasing his magic power and increasing his defense on the body's surface.
While Vargas was under attack, others were attacking him with rock crossbows and ice spears.
However, only a decisive attack had been made, which was a pattern of enduring war.
When I saw it, I immediately made a cover attack and managed to be saved safely.
By contrast, Tanatos seems to have been attacked by a big snake-like demon.
They were told that the gianted Tanatos managed to defeat them by rambling as far as their power was concerned.
It could have been dangerous if other than Tanatos had been wrapped around that serpent.
Apparently, this depressing jungle-like forest was a pretty dangerous place.
"Hmm, I don't know what to do. Vargas and Tanatos have found a rescuer. Maybe we should build a transfer magic team here and go home."
"Hmm? Are you leaving, Ars? Didn't you want to see the sea?
"Yeah, but it's just harder to get around than this. You can't fly a Magic Boat anymore, can you?
"Right. Too bad. I found the ocean."
"What? Is that true? You found the ocean, Tanatos."
"Oh. There was a cliff by the time I found the one I helped and brought back. Beyond that cliff was the sea."
"... can you guide me? You remember the way, Tanatos?
"Of course."
"Okay. Then why don't you do it right away? Let's just reveal the night here today. So, when it gets bright, let's go check out the ocean that Tanatos found."
Unexpected trouble continued, but Tanatos brought back the good news.
Apparently, there's an ocean.
I don't know how far away I was from where the Sky Dragon attacked me, but I guess I was surprisingly close.
He rested his body that day as he grew tired, and decided to go and see the ocean under the leadership of Tanatos when the morning sun began to rise.
"Ooh, you really had the ocean. You've found me well. Thank you, Tanatos."
"... wow. There's really water all the way over there, Admiral."
"Right.... No, don't you get it yet? We need to see if this is really the ocean or maybe a big lake."
"The sea has salt in it."
"It should be. Even so, I've never actually seen the ocean with this eye before, either. Let's check it out anyway."
He took the roadless path that Tanatos guided, and discovered the cliff, as he had said.
From there I did see the sea.
but it was a bit unlikely to get off the terrain, so he continued his journey toward the sea with further detours from it.
And after that, we finally arrived at White Beach.
Apparently, this place was like a cove with a cliff behind it and a big protrusion into the letter U.
The waves that reach the White Beach are low and calm, either because the cliffs stretched out to the sea keep the waves from coming.
It was a little private beach-like atmosphere.
"The water..., yeah, that's salty"
"Heh, which one?... Ugh, what the hell. It really tastes like salt."
"That's why you said it. I'm pretty sure this is seawater. Shall we check the distance from the top later?"
"Hey, Admiral. Can't you drink this sea water?
"Well, if you drink it as it is, you'll get dehydration the other way around. Just drink [drinking] water."
"Heh, but why are fish swimming when it's so spicy salt water? Aren't those guys drinking this salt water? Are you all right?
"That's the difference between freshwater and seawater fish. River fish should not be able to live in the waters of the sea. The fish here have a body that can live in salt water. Probably."
"Heh, well, whatever. You can eat, can't you? Let's get him, Admiral."
"Wait a minute. Let's build a base here again before we do that. If there's a demon here, let's make sure it's okay, and then we'll check the perimeter."
"You did. I have to go and collect the empty dragon I left behind. All right, let's just get this over with and have some sea fish. You heard me, you guys. Work the crisp."
Apparently Vargas wants to eat fish from the sea, which is also visible from the white beach, right away.
I know how that feels, too.
It was with the sound of Vargas that everyone moved out and began to build a base in this cove.
