Skeleton Knight, in Another World

"What kind of man is a warcraft that needs to be intercepted with so much firepower in the ocean?

Enjoy the views of a smooth sailing trip and throw those questions at Arian standing aside.

Interception with artillery should be quite significant.

The one who answered that question was Chiyome, who was peering into the sea from the deck.

"It would still be Kraken when it comes to the head of this famous, and dangerous, warcraft in the South Central Sea. I've never seen a real thing, but it's huge enough to swallow a ship, and it doesn't have a torso and countless tentacles grow from its head... what the hell does it look like?

With pale, clear eyes pointed across the ocean, Chiyome leans her little neck with her elbow against the edge of the ship to give thought to the figure of its yet to be seen sea warcraft.

It was usually a chiyome without much emotion discouragement, but this time on my first sailing trip, I was sometimes feeling daunted, or my unseen emotions appeared on my tail and swayed with yura.

I twist my head by reproducing behind my brain what she told me about Kraken in this world as I put such a chiyome figure at the edge of my sight.

"Countless tentacles from the head to the size of one ship…"

When it comes to the head of what you imagine when you hear Kraken, it's like a giant squid or octopus-like mollusk.

But the characteristic of the Warcraft she said earlier she knew as a rumor is that she feels somewhat different from her imaginary Kraken statue.

─ ─ In this case, if you understand that everything from the eye of a squid to the top is the head, will countless tentacles from the head be an image of nothing wrong?

Imagine attacking a ship the size of the Lieb Berta on which you yourself ride, shaking your head and scratching off that imagination in its too overwhelming monster.

If this ship is comparable in size, its total length will be 100 meters.

"If Kraken attacked the less equipped ship of the clan, there wouldn't seem to be one."

Even with artillery, it's suspicious if we can fight it. In the case of people who do not think they have artillery technology, they are likely to pack it at the time of encounter if they do not have a means of ranged attack in place of artillery.

Chiyome looked up to this side of my prediction and gradually brought up one story.

"Kraken's name took a leap to fame on a continental expedition that inspired the empire to divide into what is now East and West. At that time, the Empire flew south in a massive convoy to make the southern continent its own territory, and I hear that it was destroyed because of Kraken."

When I heard about Chiyome, I remembered what she had previously told me about the first generation of Hanzo, when the authority of the Empire fell for a time when it aroused the "Blade Heart (Jinsin) clan”.

Did you hear this story before raiding the Etsato Chamber of Commerce in the King's Capital of the Kingdom of Rhoden?

It was a story of the intensification of factional strife over the throne of the next emperor and the division of the empire into East and West like it is today, thanks to that darkness of the first Hanzo.

"Ho, what I've heard from Lord Chiyome before is that the first generation of Hanzo worked to get the Blade Heart clan out of the Imperial Secret Service - and that was the stumbling block - is that the continental expedition to the south of the Empire failed?

Turning her gaze at Chiyome as she traced the memories she had dug up, she nodded back at it.

"Yes, the expedition in forming a large fleet took place twice, but we have heard that those two times we were almost devastated together and that the Emperor's authority at the time was lost"

I don't know how big the fleet was, but I know that not even one ship is a cheap substitute.

If an expedition to the southern continent and the aim of spreading the prestige of the Empire were to destroy the fleet twice, that would have been enough to discredit it.

Who is Kraken, the warcraft representative of the sea, who made the cut of that imperial division...

Nevertheless...

"I didn't expect Kraken to strike the fleet twice, but the emperor was lucky enough to let it go..."

It was a word against the emperor who could not forbid some sympathy, but it was Arian who had been listening in silence until now who had shaken his head and denied that it was not.

"Kraken comes up from the bottom of the sea thinking the shadows that make up the herd on the sea level are bait. So if you put a fleet together and put it in Kraken's waters, it won't be long before the algae chips in the ocean."

"... Chengcheng, did you have that reason"

That being said, he nodded to show Arian flaunting his shoulders as he sighed, as if it was a new story for Chiyome to learn.

I hammer myself to imitate it.

If the shadow that runs on the surface of the sea shows up in the fish shadow of the large bait that Kraken has always preyed on, this ship is bigger than the ship that people ride, so it seems more likely to be targeted than a normal ship that sails alone.

Asking Arian about it, she shifted her gaze from the side of the ship to the sea, tilting her neck.

"I don't know the details, but we're going to have to speed things up around here. Besides, if you're a human being, you can't deal with Kraken coming up to sea, so it's more dangerous than this ship."

Yes, while she was explaining, Ponta, who had been letting the tide wind sweep her tail over her head until now, suddenly stood up and rang out to be vigilant about something.

"Ki-yun! Kiyun!"

Then a loud bell sounds aboard as if it had signaled it.

An elf sailor standing as a lookout near the top of the tallest sail column takes some sort of yelling trick as he points forward. From one of the voice tubes stranded on board after that beat, a man's voice sounded to encourage vigilance.

"Right forward, Kraken adult!! Repeat, forward right, Kraken adult!!

The voice was followed by a voice giving instructions to various places, making the ship a temporarily noisy atmosphere, but there was no rush in the movements of the sailors, rather it seemed to be moving agile and acting as a role.

I gaze from the bow deck to the sea to the front right when I see Kraken's actual object, which I and Chiyome were also talking about, and I gaze at the great sea plain that spreads in front of me.

But no matter how many eyes I stared at, only the blue sky and the sea were wide open, and I could not find what it looked like.

"I don't see a Kraken-like thing in my eyes... do you know Lord Chiyome?

Even looking at him in such a way as to embark himself from the edge of the ship, he could not confirm how he looked, and stood next to him and similarly spoke to Chiyome, who looked out at the sea.

"No, it doesn't even look like me"

But her reaction was the same as hers, and she answered it by shaking her head small to the side.

Whether the ship had steered off to the left abruptly there, the sail with the deck tilted slightly diagonally and the wind made a bumpy noise.

Looking out onto the ship, the Elves' sailors and crew uniformly looked forward to the right, but the other Orcs' crew could see their gaze flying in all directions in search of Kraken's appearance.

This, perhaps, turned her gaze to Arian, next door, and she nodded with a slight grin in her face, returning her gaze to the sea again.

"Did you notice Ark, too? Adult Kraken shows up at sea from time to time, but you can take the surrounding landscape into your body and hide it, so you can't normally find it from this distance. If you don't have the power to see magic vegetables like the Elves, you won't find Kraken out at sea."

Hearing Arian's words, he stares at the sea to the right, too.

Though I seem to have the ability to be the end of the Elves at first, it seems that the Elves are lower than the Dark Elves, who are said to be relatively weak in their ability to see.

I don't know if there's too much distance, but my eyes only show the blue sea no matter how far I go.

"When it comes to assimilating into the landscape, don't notice it until it hits you even if you get close by mistake..."

And, with that sentiment in his mouth, he marvels at Kraken's amazing ability.

"Kraken has such abilities..."

Chiyome was also honestly revealing her surprise at this.

Capturing and assimilating the surrounding landscape is, in other words, optical camouflage.

Squids, octopuses and the like are known for their ability to alter body surfaces and wrap around protective colors, but in this world, aliens also seem to be high-take creatures with astonishing optical camouflage abilities.

No, the fact that the magic vegetable (mana) can be confirmed by being visible means that its optical camouflage is realized by magical force.

"They don't know why they're coming up to sea level, but the Elves are the only ones who can find Kraken assimilated to that landscape beforehand. This one's pretty big, looks like a mountain sticking out on the ocean..."

Ariane was a little good at talking, but she was obsessed with the size of the Kraken she was seeing by taking such a trick as to look at the Kraken they didn't see.

I feel a little regret that I can't see the spectacle of the Great Ocean raw, but I sigh and jaw on the edge of the ship wondering if a safe voyage is best.

The crew of the other beasts return to the ship without a heart or an unfortunate look.

"... Kraken won't come after you?

I mouth such questions as I gaze at the sea blurry as I put such a look into the edge of my eyes.

But besides, Arian turned against his chest as he slapped the hull at hand with a pessi pessi.

"With the speed of this ship, we can't keep up with the adult Kraken. If we can keep up with the speed of this ship, it's Kraken, the toddler. I don't think we're ever gonna run into each other."

Yes, the ponta that was over her head reacted slightly to her movement, whether she was finished or not. At the next moment, a huge impact runs on the ship and the ponta that was over his head slips a little off his helmet.

"What happened!?

Pay attention to what's going on around you as you push the ponta back to its original position.

Then someone shouted at the stern.

"There's a larval Kraken on the stern port!!

The movement of the people who were on the deck stops for a moment, as if they had reacted to that voice.

The next moment - it was not a scream, but a roar similar to joy - that wooded the ship.

"Hi-ha!! Bastards, hurry to the stern!!!

"Yikes!! You'll lose your share of the late guy!!!

"I've been waiting, Kraken!!!

It was the same race of beasts who reacted so prominently as Chiyome. Each takes a weapon and runs out to the stern at a glance.

That makes me look like I opened a department store on the day of the bargain sale.

Conversely, it is the Elves' sailors and crew who have a slightly troubled and incomprehensible feeling about their condition.

It was supposed to be an attack of warcraft feared in the sea, but there was no such thing as gloom there.

"I have some feeling about the festival......!? All of them, I'll take a ride."

Alone, he pulls out the "Sword of the Holy Thunder (Karadborg)" he was lowering and runs to the stern.

Eventually, when we reached the aft deck, it was a hell of a picture of the beasts with weapons in their hands swarming down their weapons so that they could flock to a giant squid about ten meters.

Some of them may have been blown away by Kraken's legs, but they can be seen running to Kraken again with a weapon while wiping their nosebleeds to see if their body was originally sturdy.

A man who appeared to be one werewolf in that was slashing off a bottle of Kraken's leg and lifting things high in heaven to raise his ambition.

I find one long toucharm looming from behind it, and I quickly step in there.

A werewolf man reacted to such an appearance on this side, rubbing it sideways that turned into a look of surprise, slashing and skipping the touching arm that was approaching his back up from the bottom.

A thick touch-arm falls onto the slab deck as he feels a definite response on his arm.

"You can't be alarmed."

"Oh, thank you, brother."

Shake off the sea water on your sword as you speak to the werewolf man. Turning his gaze forward, there was an appearance of the beast races who were already cheering around Kraken, who had become a bug breath.

"That was unexpected..."

As I saw such a sight with my sword in my sheath, the werewolves I had helped earlier came with the toucharms I had slashed off.

"This is your brother's share! What do we do?"

That's what I said. I put my arm up on this side and showed it heavily.

I hope all of you are happy, this response, is there still a purpose?

"Do you still eat this Kraken?

The Warcraft Kraken, though, is a giant squid there. That's all I can think of for use.

And the prediction was apparently a hit.

"Oops! Fresh. Now you can shake salt and raw, huh? And then there's the tide! Broiled and eaten, it's good for booze!

"Ho ho" "Kiku ~ n "

Listening to Kraken's eating course by one and one from a werewolf man, two Ariane and Chiyome came late from behind.

Show them the tentacles you got and ask them if they would eat and they reacted differently.

It was Arian who first shook his neck vigorously to the side and backwards.

Speaking of Chiyome, on the contrary, he stepped forward and tailed himself with an intriguing face.

There, as usual, it was Ponta who showed tachitashi and protest from above his head.

"I know, don't worry, there's plenty of Ponta."

"Ki-yun!

After such an exchange, myself and Chiyome decided to tide dry as they had just learned.

Those who were fighting over other areas had also reached a settlement, each of which had begun to move into work parallel to the dismantling.

As many as ten meters of giant disappeared within a glance, and now a large number of Kraken fillets are bracketed on ropes such as the socket supporting the sail of the Lieb Berta, exposing them to whilst still sweeping the flag.

The seaweed, in other words, dried squid overnight.

I washed it in sea water and stuffed it, cut it into easy drying sizes and dried it until the surface was dry. It was a fairly easy way to make it, but I wanted to swallow spit when I watched the sea breeze swallow it.

If you want soy sauce and sake if you want to broil squid, but I have never seen raw hate and such substitutes among the elves.

At this point, I don't want to talk about luxury.

I look up at the dried Kraken fillets and soothe my mind to the way Ponta and Chiyome's tails are swinging left and right to synchronize, attracting my own baggage at hand.

A water bottle containing hot spring water at the foot of the Dragon Crown Tree (Road Crown), drawn from inside this morning, is sucked up using My Straw (Straw), while the paper bundles and writing fixtures bought yesterday in the Landfriar are removed from the luggage bag.

There's a little while before Kraken's tide dries out.

That's what I thought, I sat down on the deck of the ship, waxed, and rolled the first page of the bundle of paper.

"Hmm, your helmet is still in the way..."

Take off your helmet with such a leak of soliloquy, put it aside and run the line over the paper with a primitive pencil pointing a little at the black coal stick, even if you say the writing fixture instead -.

Lightly take the line around, and then overlay the line on the paper so that it takes a rough shape.

It's been a long time since I've painted like this, and with that in mind, I look at the deck landscape of the ship that is the object of the photograph. As he drew the line carelessly, Arian accidentally peered into the painting in the paper from his side and leaked an admiring voice.

"Ark, did you even paint? You're pretty good."

"Is that so? Well, to the extent that I've grown hair in amateurs."

Yes, I remember the old days as I gave it back to her.

He has always been a good art artist and has been in exhibitions several times.

When was that? - A girl in a class once looked at her painting and praised me, but I thought her painting was somewhat more atmospheric and better.

But it was my painting that ended up in the exhibition, and I remember somehow feeling sorry for the girl.

Speaking of which, what is that girl doing by now?

Delaying in thoughts that had no such benefit, Arian's face suddenly entered his eyes wide, trying to block his gaze.

"What's the matter, Ark?

The golden eyes characteristic of that Dark Elf tribe were directed to see what was going on here.

Hi. With the flesh back, it seems that backwards feelings that are usually unconscious come out on the table, in case of wanting to go home.

I shake my head gently once and take a deep breath as I breathe a cup of tidal sea breeze into my chest.

He then shifted his gaze to Arian's big chest and changed his mind.

"No, I was wondering if Lord Arian's slightly skinned chest was tanned."

And the moment I spoke that far, the palm bottom flew to my face from Arian, who had Zhu up his cheek.

"I'm worried about you. I lost you."

That's what Arian said. He put his arms around her to hide his chest and pointed at her.

Her flat hand enters the nose column unexpectedly hard and tears accumulate at the edge of her eyes.

I sighed slightly louder, wondering if I could control my emotions myself, if I drank soy sauce in the squid broil in this condition and sipped sake.

Still, if you look up at some Kraken fillets like a flag, it's a good trend to have yourself enjoying imagining the flavor of broiled Kraken that you'll be able to do around this evening.

Now I just... I decided to think so.
