Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 278: To the Wide Blue Sea

After Wade and the others went back to their respective towns and got back to normal business, we also had a bit of a break from our special assignments and enjoyed our normal lives.

Speaking of our robotic doll business, we investigate and develop the planet Izanami.

And the front line is the navy blue sea that Wadatsumi looks forward to.

"In the meantime, renting a boat or not buying a boat is a lot of activity."

"No matter how much money you have to buy it, it's not enough.Not only the ship itself, but also its maintenance costs, warehouse rental costs, fuel costs, etc. "

"You don't have to be so realistic about anything."

Amy got tired of the expense list Letty was pointing at.

"If you rent at the Ship Management Office, it will be easy because it will all be paid in one lump sum."

"... because we haven't developed it yet, we can only buy ships with low performance"

the lizard who was checking the wiki pointed it out.

It seems that the various production bands are working hard to say that the aircraft is next to the ship, but it is still quite difficult.

Let's go to the Ship Management Office.

The sound of lact cranes led us from the docks to the Ship Management Office in the middle of the harbour district.

The Ship Management Office, which is treated as a baseline as an indispensable facility outside the central control area, has a simple appearance like pure white tofu, with many players passing through its gates one after another.

"Is this the Ship Management Office, commonly known as" Ship Management ”?"

"It's the same as the other baselines, but it's a different field inside."

Looking out at the simple interior based on white as well as the appearance, Letty is stingy and zero.

As Lacto said, it seems that crowd control measures are implemented in the same way as in skin shops, which are idle compared to the number of people coming in from the outside.

That's a nautical chart.

The three-dimensional projection hologram is slowly rotating in the center of the lobby, surrounded by a blue sofa.

In addition to the three-dimensional display of the Onokoro Heights and the surrounding Kiryu Mist Forest, markers were placed in each city, and slightly waved fields were spread out from the surroundings of the walnuts.

It hasn't been pioneered at all.

Standing next to the toca, Letty looks up at the sea like a cat's forehead.

It appears that the marine field was liberated at the same time as the construction of the Wadatsumi Central Control Tower was completed, but progress still seems to be slow a few days later.

"At first, I didn't buy the information because it seemed like it was completely fun to see it for the first time, but is the energy strong?

"I don't want to hear about it at first sight, so let's borrow a boat to try it out."

Lactos are not actively gathering information either, inflating their breasts into new heavens and earth that they haven't seen yet.

We arranged for reception and decided to rent a ship from the NPC as soon as possible.

"Welcome. Welcome to the Ship Management Office!

It seems that the intelligence level is unlimited in the same way as Wade's NPC, and the beautiful sister responds with fluent words.

"I'd like to rent a ship.In the meantime, six people a day. "

"What about the power?"You can choose from four types: canvas, BB engine screw, and BB engine jet."

A window appears in front of Letty with the NPC's words.

(12) The price goes up in order of canvas, screws and jets, and the performance seems to be comparable.

"What do you want to do? Even canvas is a good price."

Untie the window mask and Letty will show you the pricelist.

It seems that when all six people get on board, the cost will rise proportionately.

"I'm just going to wait and see what's going on off the coast, and I think it's okay if you do it.

"You don't even need mechanical skills, do you?Me too. "

Then I'll turn it into a pigeon.

When Letty selects a ship type, the rental fee is deducted from her wallet.

"The ship type is SSP-G6-0042, the maximum number of passengers is six, the recommended area of activity is offshore, and the power is two pairs.Seed 01 - Docked at Wadi Tsumi Management Wharf 03, please use with caution for damage and sinking. "

"Yes, thank you."

At the same time as the fee is paid, Letty is granted the right to use the ship.

Now she and her authorized personnel can board the moored vessel.

"Happy sailing!

A smiling smile drops us off.

Walk through the harbor area to the location on Letty's map, where there were many white colored canoes lined up.

"Er, this is it.Ssp-g6-0042!

Walk along the wharf to the middle.

There was a boat tied to the mooring column.

"... it's tiny."

"A boat. Canoe"

"Six people are about to get on."

"Pretending to be a servant is a voicemail."

"... can you ride the white moon?

A canoe that rises and falls slowly with the sea.

Two seats in each of the three rows would certainly fit six people, but it seems like it needs to be pretty tight.

"- Who's riding where?

Lacto's words made Letty and the others look serious.

"This is Letty, after all.Letty is a good choice if you want to move the left and right handlebars in close collaboration. "

"Balancing power balances is important.Letty and Toka are a little too muscular, aren't they?

"There is no problem because delicate force exertion and reduction leads to living together.I am more resistant to unstable scaffolding than that, and I have higher walking skills. "

Letty's head is pointing up and she talks about it with enthusiasm.

Is it so difficult to manipulate a ship?

"The daughters.If we don't get on the boat soon, we'll leave the port! "

The strange Amy calls out.

Letty and the others raised their heads and looked at us with dismay.

"Hmm, why is Mikage-san with Reggie!?

"That's my seat!

"Oh, there are some things I can't forgive with my brother...!

"No, I was kind of busy, so appropriately.Mikage is breathtaking, and he has high walking skills, so he will stably support his posture. Isn't that right?

Me and Mikage, sitting on the bow side, gripping one by one.

The white moon fills a small space on the bow of the ship and snorts its nose.

Amy sighed helplessly and summoned Letty to the pier.

"Simply think, Lacto is not good for hard work.Letty and Toka are more efficient with each other as a rear power source, and I can't hold them because I need to prepare a shield for Enemy's onslaught.

Isn't it inevitable that the arrangement will be decided?

"Gunu...."

"Sometimes the theory gets worse than anything else...."

Kh!

Letty and the others embarked on the boat with a strong lip bite.

Letty and Toka sit in the back seat, Amy and Lacto sit in the middle seat, and the arrangement is decided.

"If you take the mooring rope, you'll be able to leave soon."

Letty unlocks the rope when everyone is ready.

When I held the water in unison, the hull began to move more powerfully than I had expected.

"If this happens, I will give up!Toca, let's row!

"Fufufu, leave it to me!

Letty and the others at the stern are in a good mood, spinning around with Zabzab.

If the two of you, who are a tight fighter, breathe with your strength, it seems to produce as much power as the engine.

"Rowlers can't look forward.Amy and Lacto are on the lookout. "

"Leave it to me. Let's get out of here."

The rower is sitting backwards against the boat, so the situation ahead is unknown.

We leave vigilance and defense to the two of us, and we will only row in chaos.

"Yeah, it's going well.It's not as fast as you think!

I wonder if manpower is okay.We're not machines, are we?

"I don't care about details!

The waves are gentle and have little shaking.

Behind Letty and Toca moving the paddle at high speed, Amy and the others were looking at each other as they laid low.

"Letty, have you heard from Enemy?

"You don't know anything about boulders.The rabbit is only deaf, so you won't know if it's attacked from the ocean. "

"I see. We need to think of something."

Pass through the swarm area and enter the nearby sea.

On land, Letty can detect proximity to protozoa at an early stage, but not at sea.

Mikage, who usually buys veterans, can't afford to do that this time.

"The sea is peace itself.The size alone doesn't seem to collide with other ships. "

Lacto says with his hands on his eyes.

Sometimes it is the front line of the daytime offensive, and there are various ships, large and small, floating around besides us, but it seems that there is no danger of contact with each other at a sufficient distance.

"If you don't come with some protozoa, we won't have any tension..."

And that was when Lacto was about to say it with a spare face.

Letty's ears twitched and stood up.

"Hmm! There are countless sounds approaching from below the sea surface!

"I'll take care of the guards!

Letty didn't see any signs until she allowed us to get close enough.

Amy deployed the barrier in an instant, but a few flew inside.

"'Wall Guard'!

Amy squeezes her fist shield sideways and deploys a large area of defense.

And that's what keeps me from falling to the surface.

"It's a little fish!It's elongated and pointed!

"Biometrics."It's called "Screw Sadding."

"I wonder if it's going to fly like a screw.I'll be back!

The water bubbles and countless shadows appear.

Small fish like silver slender bullets pop out one after another.

"'Frozen Region (Coldfield)'!"

The circular area around the boat raises the cold air.

The invading twists were frozen instantaneously from the bow to the bottom of the boat.

"Lacto's. That sounds incredibly useful."

"Mio-san taught me that the other day.The effect time is short and the range is narrow!

The frozen area disappears while you're talking for a few seconds.

It was then that Letty and the others who stood up were on the brink of war.

"Wow, there's a big shadow coming up!

Amy screamed as she watched the water in front of her.

The sea water rises large and the canoe is wrapped in lumps and shadows.

"Helm!?

"It's a different kind. There are so many diagrams!

Letty calmly stood up to Lacto in surprise.

The white belly is approaching with splashes on silver scales.

The strange fish suddenly appeared trying to crush us with a body press, with the momentum that jumped out.

"The Bite Flow, Two Techniques -"

The opposite is our greatest destructive power.

Lowering his hips, Letty stood on the bottom of the boat with her strong feet, holding a giant black iron barrel.

"What!?

--I stepped through the bottom of the boat.
