Jammerg55 here; sorry for the delay folks. My intent was to have about 3 chapters per day. And its not off to a good start. With the laptop out of commission I cant do any translating Mon-Wed, but i know you came to read the story not my smelly excuses so please enjoy! New Arc!

Arc 9: Inheritance of Babylon.

Chapter 61: The Sea and a Vacation

Three days had pa.s.sed from then.

There was a bit of a frenzy but somehow Takedas territory regains their peace of mind, a new lord was decided as well. The sole king of Takedas for kings that sent the rescue request to us, it was he who had originally given the orphan Kanjo shelter.

Although it was known that s.h.i.+ngen had a son that Kanjo knew about, although he manipulated the parents, theres no problem point that out?

There is no mistake that it was Kanjo that was the perpetrator of this incident, and it is still in doubt that we fought with his true intent. His heart had been taken over by the artifact, even still he still wasnt able to lay his hands on the diseased lords orphan...maybe I was just thing about it too much.

At any rate, that son, Takeda Katsuyoriyuki would be the next lord, the four kings would a.s.sist him.

They tentatively told Oda they wouldnt be picking a fight. Well its not as if this world and my former worlds history was synchronized but its better safe than sorry. I want to be spared reports of Takeda being ruined in a few years.

The Ruins of Niruyawere a little off of an island the furthest island south in Ishens territory. Fortunately when Baba-jiisan was younger he had been there, so I was allowed to retrieve the memory from him. Honestly, holding hands and touching the forehead of a rough old man seemed like a punishment game.

Now then, father mother, and elder brother and Ayane too. We will be going

Aa, take care

Touya-san, please take care of my daughter

As we separated from Yaes parents house in Oedo to start off on our journey once again Nanae-san bowed deeply. Not knowing what to say in reply, I bowed similarly. Nearby were s.h.i.+getaro-san and Ayane-san laughing at us.

Next time, we should spend more time getting to know each other. Ill invite you to my home in Belfast

I look forward to it

I shake hands with s.h.i.+getaro-san and open agateto the ruins.

While waving at Yaes family, we pa.s.s through the gate of light out on to a sandy beach.

There was a white sand beach spreading from the sea to as far as the eye could see. In the far distance a small forest and a rock could be seen but, there was nothing else.

Looking at the map, apparently this is a completely isolated small island. Well even if you say isolated, if you were to swim about 200 meters youd reach land.

The sun glitters in the emerald green sea, glittering lights dance off the surface. With pure white sand there certainly was coral and small sh.e.l.ls laying all around which were also white.

Uwaaa, its so beautiful-

While Yumina walks around on the white beach, her eyes were stolen by the sea that stretches out before her. Kohaku was walking painfully besides her while the teddy was frolicking around. What is really going on, with its Program

Its master had opened a black parasol, from who knows where, and walked gracefully on the sandy beach.

Its been a while since weve been to the sea

Thats right, Onee-chan

The twin sisters were also walking along the sandy beach while feeling the sea breeze.

Yae follows along afterward, part way through she loses her sandals and runs on the sand barefoot.

Hot! Hot! Hoooot!

Well of course its hot. Theres that sunlight after all. Theres still a lot of day light left, the dazzling sun is hanging in the blue heavens. Compared to that the sands are a scorching h.e.l.l.

Dancing a strange dance, she kept jumping from foot to foot as she ran toward the swa to escape the heat.

This is what they would call the perfect southern resort, there was absolutely no one with any desire to examine the ruins.

That reminds me, Omohue-san said it was at thebottom of the seaCould they really be undersea ruins?

I searced the map for RuinsAnd it hit. Seriously? They really are at the bottom.

They seem to be about 100 meters offsh.o.r.e, but I cant see anything...... Do I have to dive to see them?

Rin. Isnt there any magic that you can use for going under the water?

Theres magic for doing things above the water but. I certainly did hear about some no attribute magic that could use in the water, but I wasnt interested so I dont remember it

Thats the most important part there.......

For the time being, should I dive and check out the ruins? If there was a swimsuit I would change into it but theres nothing like that in this world. Swimming in a single pair of underwear is a little embarra.s.sing.

Walking along the beach edge Elsie, Lindsey, Yae, and Yumina were all barefooted, playing against the waves. As the waves rose and splashed they frolicked enjoying it.

Its cold and feels good. If I there were a swimsuit I could swim

.........wait a moment. Um? Swimsuit?

I froze at that word that came out of Elsies mouth. I was convinced that there werent any of those in this world.

...? You could buy them if you went to a shop, I think. There have been several types being sold in the provinces recently, I heard

Lindsey answered my question. I see...theyre there normally huh, swimsuit?

Well, seeing as weve come out to the sea, we cant not enjoy this situation

If it has to do with clothes, it has to be there, we transported to Zanacks shop in Leaflet.

After our reunion after such a long time, we hurriedly talked about what we came here for, apparently it was going to get hot soon and he had gotten a large s.h.i.+pment of swimsuits. What good timing!

Even though theres no sea nearby, I voiced by doubt about the swimsuit demand but apparently they swim in the river and if you travel about half a day theres a lake. There also seem to be pools at rich peoples houses.

For the time being the girls went and picked out their swimsuits and went back home for a little bit. Because everyone looks like theyre having so much fun, it would be sad if they were left out.

The sea?

Uwaa~ thats nice~

Cecil-neesan, whats the sea?

When I returned to the house I broached the subject with the three maids. Well I didnt think there would be any opposition so Lapis-san, Cecil-san, and Rene went through Gateto Zanacks shop.

Afterwards I went to the kitchen and invited Clair-san, as well as Julio san from the garden to come as well.

I cant really leave the house unguarded so I couldnt take Tom and Huck huh? Well Ill get them something nice.

Lyme-san wasnt going to swim so I took him and went straight to Duke Orutorindes house. I knew if I didnt invite them then theyd be noisy.

Ishens sea!? Nice! Lets go!

Father! I was the one that was invited!

Like I said, is this country that free? Why is the duke the one thats the most rearing to go......? His wife Ellen-san laughs as her husband frolics.

For the time being, with the dukes household including the butler Reimu-san I opened thegateto Zanack-sans shop and then suddenly the duke said something completely unexpected.

Lets invite elder brother and them toohe said.

Hohou, Ishens sea? That Al, he really is attentive isnt he?

I thought youd want to feel the sea breeze after such a long time

Are the state of affairs so relaxed?

His majesty, the king, and Queen Yueru were in high spirits.

Me

The schedule for this afternoon just opened up. I thought about calling over Al for some Shogi anyway. So there should be no problem

I wonder if its really good or bad timing. So because the couple were wearing something that stood out too much I had them change into plain clothes. If Zanack-san were to see that crown on his head hed fall down.

I went over to General Leons place to see about getting some guards a.s.signed but the general said he would go personally. Seriously? (you underestimate the power of the sea)

What would happen if His majesty didnt take me along for his vacation!? Ill also be enjoying myself along the way!

He says in a loud voice while beating my back. I said that hurts!

By the way, I invited Charlotte-san, but once she knew that Rin was going she refused. Is she that bad with her......?

After changing into plain (although they still looked pretty expensive to me) looking clothing, I took the group with the King and returned to Zanacks place with GateOu, there seem to be quite a few people huh.

Huh? Why are Silver Moons Mika-san and Parents Aeru-san here?

Long time no see. Have you been well?

We were invited by Elise-chan. Were going to the sea so you should come too she said

Elsie invited them? Well its fine. The people that had swimsuits were transported to the beach. Its really annoying so I fixed theGateso it would stay open.

On the beach, fromStorageI took out some iron wire and used Modelingto make pipes to make a simple tent so that they could change clothes. The girls site was wide, while the mens was small. The girls went immediately to change and Elsie waved me away. Dont treat me like a dog.

After that, should I make some beach chairs and parasols to relax? And I made something like a fairly big sunshade. Heatstroke is terrible after all. I guess I could also make some life buoys as well as a beach ball from the rubber?

The people came out one by one after they finished changing on to the beach. There really are a lot of them....

Um, Me, Elsie, Lindsey, Yae, Yumina, Rin, Lapis-san, Cecil-san, Rene, Clare-san, Julio-san, Lyme-san, the duke, Ellen-san, Suu, Reimu-san, The king, Queen Yuela, General Leon, as well as Mika-san and Aeru-san. (plus 2)......21 people. And 1/3 of the group is royalty. Well in the 1/3 of the male group is that.

Now then, everyone had purchased a swimsuit and was here... so close the gate...... hey, I didnt buy myself one......?

I picked out a random adjustable pair of trunks. Theyre black. These arent nylon or polyester? They look like it...... The materials are good plus its perfect for swimming. I heard from Zanack-san that its string made from the coc.o.o.n of an insect called the Aqua b.u.t.terfly. They seem to be used for expensive umbrellas as well.

I thanked Zanack-san and returned to my house living room in Belfast and fixed the connection point for the Gate. It would be bad if they couldnt use the bathroom. Food to, maybe we should have a barbeque? I prepared charcoal for a fire and an iron plate for later. There should be quite a few things in the storehouse like meat and vegetables. I also want something to drink. Should I use ice magic and make some ice to cool fruit juice down? After that...... huh?

......From a while ago it seems that Im the only one doing all the work, it must be my imagination. Isnt it my imagination that Im the only one working, is it? (not just a repeat)

Why you, I have to play as hard as I can!

Wait? Why did we come here in the first place again?
