Chapter 338

[21st Round] Human Possibilities

This situation isnt good, hubby. If the other bugs have infiltrated the system in the same way, they will be difficult to find.

Thatll definitely be a problem.

It would be nice if the inhabitants of Fantasy could resist the bugs attacks. Unfortunately, the bugs were able to easily replace and remove the residents from the system, which was only made possible by divine power.

The fake Elfheim claimed he got his power from Fantasys Wrath.

The mercenary from s.p.a.ce, also known as the former owner of the stingray with a s.e.xual scream, received an order from that being as well.

It couldnt just be a coincidence.

I turned to Ssosiel, asking what she thought about this.

Ive already checked the mercenarys personal file, but there are gaps in it. The face and voice of Fantasys Wrath are completely hidden. I didnt even find any traces hinting my aunt transferred her administrator rights to someone else.

What about Lanuvel?

Shes on the Eastern Continent, exploring the Tombs of Heroes alone.

Hmm

I was suspicious of her, but she always presented herself as an archaeologist. To my surprise, she was currently doing exactly what archaeologists did.

Do you still suspect her?

Of course.

Only those who had experienced it would be able to understand me.

She deliberately stepped on traps when we were in dungeons, and if one were to suspect her of something, she immediately pretended to be cute.

It was really creepy.

Keep watching her.

Sir Hero, leave it to me, Shadow A seemed to agree with me.

Seriously?

Putting her divided soul together would be problematic, but if I were to do it seriously, I could send her to the festival planet in a matter of hours.

She might again find herself in the arms of the wretched Elf King, who, sitting at the window of the city hall, watched the b.r.e.a.s.t.s of female humans pa.s.sing by.

Did she want to postpone it?

Yes, Im used to waiting. I promised that I would do my best to help you in exchange for you returning me to him. Instead of helping, however, I ended up causing a bug instead. Hence, I feel the need to make amends.

There was no point in refusing her help.

I thought it would be nice to a.s.sign someone to monitor Lanuvel around the clock anyway.

I notified my wife, who happily agreed despite being a strict dictator that wouldnt even let me touch other women.

Hey! Dont make me look like some crazy embodiment of jealousy! Moreover, you have a moral problem if you think grabbing women by the neck is okay!

Lets pick up the pace.

Tsk. I got it already!

It happened in an instant.

Shadow A was moved directly into Lanuvels shadow, ignoring the laws of physics.

I was pretty certain there wouldnt be any more mercenaries now.

Once Shadow A saw signs of a summoning, we could visit Lanuvel and clarify the situation.

Fshuh! Fshuh! Fshuh!

I advanced at high speed, compressing s.p.a.ce.

The giants recreational lands, fis.h.i.+ng grounds, fields, salt farms

I slowed down to look at the infrastructures scaled to a size surpa.s.sing common sense, but only for a couple of moments.

Regardless, I arrived on the Eastern Continent in no time.

There seems to be no problem here.

Since my friend Noebius didnt kill his fellow dragons, there were now more of their kind living here than in the 4th curriculum. Even one of the Five Great Disasters, the embodiment of plagues, turned into a regular housewife because of that.

Nothing changed.

Hubby A former member of the Five Great Disasters turning a new leaf and living a quiet life is a pretty big change.

Shes just a lizard.

She was quite tough and difficult to kill, but she didnt pose a threat in combat.

Thats easy for you to say

It is.

I managed to defeat her, although my surprise attack failed due to the negligence of my companions.

Where are you headed?

Guess.

I dont know. Most of the possible companions for the heroes live here. Are we checking everyone to see if theyre bugs

Why should we check them?

Uhh

I dont know what power the bug has, but if it cant even go beyond common sense, then it should just abandon its objective right from the get-go. All itll be able to do is block the students path, becoming a great enemy and taking the seat of one of the Five Great Disasters.

Ah So you want to use it for your own purposes?

Exactly.

Ssosiel, who understood the essence of my plan, looked at me with respect.

We headed to Island W, where trade with the Central Continent was most active.

In fact, it was too large to be called an island, just like how the USA wasnt considered an island on Earth.

Using Earth terms, Eastern Continent was a huge continent consisting of four subcontinents and several archipelagos.

Thus, the local culture differed from island to island.

Buying elves!

Selling an experienced warrior thats defeated many demons!

Behold, the best product for sailors! Womens urine to ward off the mermaids!

Urgently buying a healthy male elf!

Im sailing soon, so Im selling elven females for half the price! Dont miss your chance!

There were many slave traders in the port.

Slavery on the Eastern Continent was legal and special, after all.

Slaves were only below their owners. They were equal with the rest of the people.

Hence, many found themselves with great owners. There were even some of them that lived better than commoners.

Nothings changed here.

Really?

Ah! Theres been a marked increase in the percentage of female seafarers.

Thats good! It means that women have gained more rights.

Not exactly.

What do you mean?

You seem confused. The Earthly information youve gathered through your Mollanphone has influenced you too much.

Fantasy was different from Earth.

There were no beautiful mermaids on Earth who professionally abducted men.

More female rights werent pa.s.sed because the number of female seafarers had increased.

Women were simply forced to take on difficult work because there werent enough men on the Eastern Continent.

I doubted they were happy to take up jobs with high mortality rates.

Moreover, at sea, the death rate of females was now much higher than that of males because of the mermaids, a race that showed no mercy to ladies drowning in the sea.

Males who disappeared after being in the water sometimes ended up on the sh.o.r.e after a month or two, but the females had a 99.99% chance of dying.

By the way, Ssosiel.

Hmm?

Why dont you know that? Your age allows Ugh!

Never speak of a womans age. Anyway, I was active only on the Northern and Central Continents. I didnt have the opportunity to go into the curriculum in detail like my husband did.

You traveled with Fugitive Senior, right?

Yes, but when that idiot noticed there were many unmarried beauties on one of the continents, I wasnt interested in why there were so many of them.

My seniors talents never cease to amaze.

I took Ssosiel and Green Cake to an inn by the pier, finding many sailors gathering there because it hired mermaids as waitresses.

Wolves among sheep.

They didnt even pretend to be human by hiding their webbed ears and blue skin.

Upon their appearance, they would immediately declare their race, stating, Gentlemen~ I am a mermaid~

Ssosiel poked my side.

Whats the matter?

If mermaids are a problem, as my handsome husband said, why arent the people fighting them?

It isnt that simple.

Everyone now considered mermaids as weak creatures that had allied themselves with humans.

After all, their race was imperfect in the sense that they wouldnt be able to reproduce without humans.

As a result, the mermaids treated everyone around them as harmless creatures, even saving human crew members from drowning for free.

Ignorance.

I was familiar with this.

Just like them, though, my cowardly wife knew little about the life on Fantasy.

Dont nitpick my faults.

If theres something you dont know much about, then gladly absorb new knowledge instead of complaining.

But just by looking at the results, one could immediately tell that mermaids werent all harmless.

Among the people who had fallen overboard, only men survived. The rest died.

In addition, the men rescued by the mermaids, for certain reasons, returned to the sh.o.r.e only after a couple of months, completely exhausted.

So why werent they considered dangerous?

n.o.body directly blamed the mermaids for anything. Thanks to the painful lessons our ancestors left behind, we knew that catching one or two mermaids wouldnt solve the problem.

There was no need to anger the mermaid race.

After all, all sea routes would be completely blocked and isolated if we did so.

That would indeed cause a lot of problems.

My ignorant wife is finally using her brain.

Im not ignorant! I just didnt know the influence of mermaids on the Eastern Continent is this great. If you give me time, then I will quickly master everything!

Okay.

At that moment

Pshss!

Large amounts of water and food spilled over Ssosiels head as she sat behind the table.

The mermaid waitress immediately said:

Oh! I apologize, madam. I just couldnt take my eyes off your handsome husband I will bring you a towel and a change of clothes~

It will take a little time, but if you want, we will compensate you~

Everythings fine. Such is the karma of the woman who is lucky to have such a beautiful husband. I hope youre not overly jealous.

Tsk

The defeated waitress hastily left.

Looking at my wife, I said, This is the essence of mermaids. That being said, Im surprised youre not mad.

Hmph! Dont look down on me. I learned to control myself on Fantasiart. The women there are much worse than mermaids.

Really?

Ssosiel didnt even lift a finger to wash her face.

Instead, Master Mollan took over, peering out of her chest.

Mollan~

The Great Being walked from her head to toe, completely removing moisture and stains.

He then returned to her cowardly chest.

Did you see that, hubby? This is Mollans real ability. He cant teach others and turn them into deities.

Dont make me laugh. Master Mollan just cleaned up his hideout.

Just admit it already Hey!

G.o.ds~

Pshhhh!

Her clothes, which Master Mollan graciously cleaned, became dirty again.

If I were in her place, there would have already been fish heads flying, but my wife just resigned herself from what was happening.

I couldnt understand why.

Because Fantasy is the place my mother left me. To be honest, Im a little annoyed, but I feel responsible for all of its residents.

Im having a hard time understanding that.

So, hubby, why did you come to this tavern? To pull your wife into trouble?

No.

I just thought she needed to learn about this places local culture.

What I came here for was just about to begin.

Conjure up some money and give it to me, cowardly wife.

What do you need them for?

Ill be using them to spread rumors.

Bang!

I hit the round table with my palm and stood up.

The visitors eyes immediately turned to me.

The Righteous Hero, an expert in Fabrication and Incitement, loudly addressed the crowd:

People! Today was a good day for me! Whoever asks why

Why?

Give a gla.s.s of beer to this daredevil!

Hahaha! I thought you were a new guest in these parts, but you know our traditions!

Now I had completely captured their attention.

I met the ruler of the seas!

How did you meet him?

A beer for that brave man! But it doesnt matter how we met. Do you know why?

The result of the meeting is important!

Hahaha! Another beer! Lots of great beer hunters have gathered here! Its all about the treasure! The ruler of the seas told me about the location of the treasure!

What treasure?

I shouted out its name.

It is a legendary s.h.i.+p, also known as the cruise s.h.i.+p of the G.o.ds! Flying s.h.i.+p Laurita!

Wow!

Woah!

Amazing!

The flying s.h.i.+p was stolen long ago by the guardians of the Northern Continent, but only stupid sheep gathered here, so it didnt matter.

My cowardly wife had a strange expression on her face, making her look like a mermaid who just witnessed the prowess of an outstanding man.

Why do you look as if its your first time seeing your handsome husbands face, Ssosiel?

Youre not wrong. This is the first time Im seeing you in such a good light.

Huh?

What was wrong with her?
