Chapter 60 Underwater Combat

"Hmm... I'm getting used to underwater fighting.

"Even if it moves, there are tricks.

"I think we should try not to increase the area relative to the direction of travel as much as possible. The magic is the same as before.

"Fire magic is useless.

"Only bubbles come out below the intermediate level.

"Do you still want to challenge Sharpness Shark?

"No, let's circle around this area today to fully acquire underwater combat. Sharpness Shark is A Rank. If you don't be careful, it's dangerous.

You'll buy the aquatic monsters you defeat, and there are many monsters you can eat, so it won't be a waste.

"Ok! Um...."

"... okay, okay. I'll make you something delicious for dinner tonight.

"I did it! Ah! No… thank you!

"I procured the ingredients myself.

"Leave it to me!

Motivated Nil then hunted angry monsters.

"All right, that's it for today. It's dangerous in the ocean when it gets too dark.

Yes!

"Nevertheless... for the time being, we have enough ingredients for seafood..."

"I heard your husband likes seafood, so I did my best!

"Speaking of which... you remember that very well.

"I remember everything about your husband.

"Oh, oh..."

It was the moment I swore to myself that I would not say anything bad.

Upon reaching the beach, it blows away moisture adhering to its entire body.

"Hmm, I'm so tired as soon as I got out of the water..."

"Your body feels heavy.

"Buoyancy is amazing...

Nil. Let's finish dinner and return to the inn. I'll let you eat as good as you promised.

"Yes! Thank you!

"I'll keep the fire on fire. (CHUCKLES) I cooked rice as usual.

"Leave it to me!

While Nil prepares the rice, I take out some of the seafood I have in my inventory.

This time, it is a sashimi that can be said to be a Japanese bible! It would not be an exaggeration to say that food comes to mind first when you get soy sauce.

"Well, let's get started. That said, I'm just hanging up...."

Remove the scale, remove the belly, lower it into three pieces, and cut. That's all. When I was in Japan, I couldn't put it down into three high-tech pieces, but this is a magical world! With wind magic, it's easy to remove scales and put them down into three pieces! Long live the magic!

"All right, you're done. Lean, white. There are even squid and squid-like fish eggs in the octopus. Isn't this the strongest sashimi set I've ever eaten...?

Place it properly on a plate and take it to Nil's fire.

"There you go. Nil."

"What?! There's still rice..."

"You should be able to cook just fine while you're eating this.

"Ha, yes... um... do you eat this while it's cooking in the fire?

"No, no, no. Sashimi. Put it on the soy sauce and eat it.

"Huh?!

Well, I'm surprised. The idea of breaking my stomach if I don't cook it is common.

"Ha, yes..."

"But! Then we haven't met the real soy sauce yet. Nil-san.

"Real soy sauce...?

"Soy sauce... by meeting sashimi, it creates synergy and sublimates to authenticity. If you're scared, I'll eat first.

"Is that... chopsticks?!

"That's right. Sometimes you remember seeing me using it.

"I practiced too, so I can use it!

"Hmm. Okay. Then you should take a look.

"Gokuri....."

"First, take one of these bitter sashimi with chopsticks and lightly lower it into this soy sauce. And carry it straight to your mouth!

Bring lean clothes to your mouth with matching chopsticks. It has a good texture because it is fresh. The gentle fat of the fish that spreads to the mouth. And the fragrance of soy sauce that envelops it.

"Delicious!! Uh-huh... delicious!

"Master..."

"You want some? Nil."

Yes!

Very well. Eat.

"Thank you!............ nnh!! Nnnhh!!

"What do you think?

"To be discreet... it's the best! This is real soy sauce!

You know what I mean? How great is sashimi and soy sauce?

Yes!

"The white body is crispy, and there is no smell of octopus or squid, and the dental cuts are great. Something like squid explodes in your mouth and smells like eggs.

"Nnnh!! Nhhhhhh!

"It's too exciting.

"Amazing! What...? But what about the rice?

"You've noticed something good. Bring the rice here.

"Yes, yes.

"Put sashimi on this pure white rice... and soy sauce.

"... Gokuri..."

"This is the seafood bowl.

"Kaisen... don..."

"Even though sashimi and soy sauce have already led us to the best, when rice is added there, it will take us to the best side..."

"On the other side...?"

"Mmm! Delicious! Come on, Nil, try it!

"Ha, yes... nnh! Fits perfectly! I can't say anything about soy sauce soaked in rice!

"I don't need any more seasoning.

"Sashimi... amazing..."

"Let's stop talking stupidly.

Enjoy yourself before you go back to the inn.

Yes!

When we both ate a delicious dinner and then returned to the inn, we could immediately fall asleep as if we were more tired than we had imagined.

The next morning, we headed to the same beach again, and I was surprised not to challenge Sharpness Shark today.

"Nil, are you ready?

"Yes! Let's go!

"I'm used to adaptive water, and my movements are perfect. Today, if Sharpness Shark is going to be where he was sighted and we can take him down, we can take him down.

"Is it close to where Sharpness Shark was seen?

"It's not that far. I mean... I hunted monsters around here yesterday, so it was easier with few monsters around.

But be careful, there are people hiding in gaps and dark places.

"Yes."

As you walk along the vibrant sea floor, the view of the sea floor changes in a few decades.

"It's getting dark.

"As it got deeper, the light from the top stopped coming. Let's use the lights to make it brighter.

From here on out, the trench is like this, and it gets deeper all at once, so keep an eye on your feet.

"I see. The sunlight was very beautiful, but I feel creepy when it gets dark.

"It's supposed to have the same view.

The light can be seen in a range of at most five meters. Above that is complete darkness. Imagine suddenly your big eyes and mouth popping out from behind dark water, and you get scared.

"Still ahead?

"There are two large rocks around here, and it seems that the Fisherman tribe was found nearby..."

"Do the Mermaids see in the dark?

"Depending on the type of fish underlying it, it still looks like it's this deep.

"Wow... I don't see anything..."

"They have eyes that allow them to see things even with little light.

"It's different from one race to another.

"That's right... hmm? What is that?

"... light...?

I see a white dot a little further. Looks like someone's using an underwater lantern to see Yurayura moving.

An underwater lantern is a glowing nocturnal jellyfish that is placed in a glass container and is used to illuminate the area underwater.

Light Jellyfish is a one-centimetre jellyfish that emits intense light from the whole body as it enters the sea. If I put about three of them in a glass container, they will produce the same amount of light as the magic of the light I am using right now.

"Someone's here, isn't it?

"There's been a report of Sharpness Shark here, so I don't think there's anyone inadvertently approaching... but I don't like it.

"What do you mean?

"There must have been a rare shellfish around here called Blue Shell.

"Shellfish?

"It's a plump double-shell shell that creates blue gemstones called sea droplets in its shell.

"I've heard of it. It was a very expensive jewel. It was famous, right?

"That's right. It's a rare gem, so it's traded for a lot of money....."

"On the sign at the entrance to the sea, it said no blue shells, right?

"A shellfish with weak reproduction. It is a species that is threatened with extinction. That's why the Mermaid King has banned the harvest and has decided how much to harvest for a year.

"You mean the poacher...?

"Turn off the light and approach quietly.

"Yes."

By turning off the lights, Nil and I are wrapped in darkness so invisible to each other.

"I can't see this... Nil.

"Yes, yes.

"Let's get hands together.

"Hahaha! Yes!

When I grabbed Nil's hand by hand, it twitched, and then I gently grabbed it back.

As Nil and I headed toward the moving light, a shadow of three people appeared between the two large rocks.

"This is... where Sharpness Shark was witnessed, right?

"Definitely here.

"You're picking something... is that the Blue Shell?

Of the three figures, all three are tribal men. A thick scallop-like shellfish with a knife and fist in its hand.

"That's right. Definitely. Except for the licensed Fishermen, I don't think they have permission to harvest Blue Shell.

I can't believe you're even touching such a little baby shellfish... you barely have any gems yet... "

"I've heard that people are greedy... ah! No, Master is not!

"No, I'm not mistaken. I want to believe it's not as greedy as them...

Now we have to deal with those poachers.

"Is Sharpness Shark OK?

"I don't know... I don't know because I can't see it at all, but it shouldn't have been that much of a wandering monster, so if the sightings are true, they should be nearby.

"Is it possible that they gave false information to poach?

"... I don't think so. If you become an Alliance or an A-Rank Monster, you will be able to investigate well. The Magic Stones will also get tangled up.

"So, you're somewhere in this darkness… if you're poaching the Blue Shell on your own, there's something more decent you can do.

"If he could think like that, he wouldn't be a poacher.

"That's right... what do you do? Do you want to enchant me with magic?

I see. Sharpness Shark's crusade will be stopped tomorrow, and the three of them will be killed first... "

If you look nearby, you see one of the poachers slightly cut his fingertips in an attempt to harvest a blue shell.

Nil!

"Hmm?!

Immediately hug Nil and hide in the shade of the rock.

"What is it?!

"Be quiet. It's not good...."

The three poachers continue to harvest the Blue Shell without showing much haste. But if we knew about Sharpness Shark, we would have understood how dangerous they were.

A creature called a shark on Earth is said to be sensitive to the smell of blood. There are two large rocks in this area, and the current is intense. If there is a sharpness shark nearby, you will definitely notice the smell of blood flowing into the water stream first.

I feel something big moving in the dark.

"You're here..."

"Nil, get ready. Prioritize Sharpness Shark's crusade over hunting poachers.

"Yes."

…………

Draw a magical formation and pull out the Slasher.

The three poachers are still unaware of Sharpness Shark's approach.

A man bleeding from his hand, holding the wound and drifting, saw a huge shadow shining brightly behind him. It looks like a silver thresher shark.

"... ahh..."

When you hear a voice that comes out when your belly is pushed hard, one person who was bleeding is sandwiched by the mouth of a sharpness shark for four meters and taken away into the darkness. Red blood and poached blue shells remain in the strip and flow into the water stream as the man is taken away.

"Fast!"

"Oh no... it's moving in the current between the rocks, so it's 30% faster.

"It's impossible to lock that up..."

"My whole body is a knife… I put a wall lock in front of me to stop moving. Make sure you get ready to drop in at once.

"I see.

Nil holds a black shield and pale fireworks.

The two poachers are in a hurry. She holds a knife in her hand and leaves her back in the rocks, busily moving her right, left and face.

"... I'm here!

Sharpness shark swims in front of the big rock from behind at incredible speed.

"Wow!!

I'm swinging the knife, but I can't compete with it.

Bakung!

The sharpness shark that can be heard in the water closes your mouth.

One of the poachers who was swinging the knife could only fit from the waist into the mouth of the sharpness shark. Blood and viscera flow out of the remaining lower body cuts into the water, wrapping the face of the remaining one.

"Now!

Zugh!

A wall lock that occludes between the big rocks.

Shit!

Destroy a part of the Wall Rock and the Sharpness Shark's head comes out.

Sharpness Shark, who hit his head hard in a stone wall that was rattling and slowly collapsing, had a concussion or twitching.

"Aqua Blade is coming!

Near Nil unleashes finished magic. Intermediate Water Magic Aqua Blade. It is magic to create a water blade, but it does not extend the flight distance in the water, and the effective range is about two meters. That's why you release it when you're close to the tip of your eyes and nose.

Bwah!

The water blade released from Nil's magical formation hits the tip of the sharpness shark.

Gary!

Rigid sounds come through the water. The scales on the tip of my nose peeled off and I got a scratch but I got injured.

The sharpness shark, who twisted his body and pushed out the debris, opened a big mouth toward Nil.

"Huh?!

Gakin '!

The previously applied magic shield is activated to protect Nil from the fangs, but the magic shield is cracked with a tingling sound.

"Back off!"

Bachin!

The magic shield collapses and a large mouth is closed in front of Nil. If I hadn't stood back, one of my arms would have been eaten.

"Daaa!

Shit! Shit!

Slash down the slash knife from the slight scratches on the nil.

The scales on the tip of the nose were shattered and blown into the water, causing deep cuts.

Blood is flowing into the water from the wound of the shaking sharpness shark.

"Don't let him get away!

"Yes!?!

Bucky!

Sharpness Shark's swinging tail flies all of Nil's magic shields in one blow.

Gah!

Ugh!

Nil, who caught the tail in front of the shield, lost pressure and flew vigorously through the water.

"Shit!

Gagging!

The scales fell off with a blow from a slashing knife that hit the side, and Sharpness Shark's body hit the big rock, spreading sand and dust in the water.

"Hey, you! Get back!"

"Ah, ahh..."

It's strange to help poachers trying to catch them, but there's no need for Sharpness Shark to bother eating them.

Goww!

"Huh?!

Sharpness Shark jumped out of the dust, and opened his mouth and attacked me without eating me.

Gah! Gah!

The stone wall that jumped horizontally from the rock directly behind me hit Sharpness Shark's nose.

"Nil?!

"Master!

"Well done!

A sharpness shark that sweeps through the water because of a direct wound. Shake the slash knife again towards the wound.

Shit!

The blade further opens the wound and finally cuts the brain in half.

After twisting your body a few times, your stomach stops moving while twitching and twitching.

"Master!

"Nil, are you okay?

"Yes, there are no major injuries.

"Good. He'll put it in the inventory and chase the escaped poacher. I can't let you go like this.

Yes!

The poacher, desperately fleeing, was immediately found. He was hurt in the leg at some point, and he barely advanced.

Hey!

"Nh!!

"Unfortunately, we can't escape anymore.

"Eh...."

"Be honest with me.

"Because I'm not right for the guy who cut it... don't miss it...

"I feel relieved to know. If you don't want to die, take me with you.

"Life is a waste.

Men are held up honestly.

After getting dressed out of the sea, Nil and I will take the man to the guild.

"Ah, Shinya-san!... who is that?

"One of Blue Shell's poachers.

"What?!

"My leg is hurt. I'll leave it to you.

"Ha, yes!

A few Guild employees show up in a hurry and take the man.

"Is he the only poacher?

"No, there were three of them, but two of them were eaten by Sharpness Shark. I think it floats with the contents of the stomach in the vicinity of the sightings... There's a current and there's a lot of monsters around, so there's probably no trace.

"What?! So you caught the poacher and crushed Sharpness Shark?!

"That's right. It's... not good to let you out here, is it?

"That's right. I don't want monsters of that size released here. I don't mind if I just use the certification part.

Naturally, she knows that I am a stranger.
