Chapter 183

CHAPTER 183: SEA

Ah, Seiichi! Here here!

Oh, Im going now!

While I was looking at the sea, I was called by Saria, so I headed to the sea .

Well, its no use thinking about a lot of things in the past and things I dont know about the future! Lets have fun now .

Then, here I go!

I ran into the sea, and jumped in it as it was!

Buhe!?

However, instead of jumping into the sea, for some reason, I think I plunged into the sandy beach from my head .

Peppe A, are? It wasnt the sea yet

Shit, this is embarrassing .

Me who was going to dive into the sea with all my might, dug into the beach from the top of my head .

Nn I thought I had leaped into the sea for sure . Whatever! Lets try again!

I run out again, and jump into the sea .

Fubera!?

I cant!?

Why!?

I had thrusted my head into the sandy beach again, and raised my face vigorously .

No matter how I think about it, its weird! Im sure that Im in a position to get into the sea right now!

I raised my face, and looked in front of me, and I was lost for words with my situation .

Thats because

The sea is avoiding me !?

Yes, as if there was a gaping hole in my spot, the sea beautifully disappeared around me . Rather, its getting away from me .

Hey wait! Please!

As soon as I stood up, I ran towards the sea .

However, at the same time, the sea moves and continues to avoid me .

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? Let me swim tooooooooooo!?

The sea avoids me as I chase and chase after it . What am I saying?

But, it really is .

That is, if I take this a little seriously, Ill catch up with it, but if I do such a thing, this entire sandy beach is likely to disappear with my first step, and I dont know if this planet can withstand it . What am I really saying?

However, as I say many times, it cant be helped because its really the only way .

Seeing me desperately chase after the sea, Al who was playing with Saria nearby, looked at me with half-open eyes .

What are you doing? Seiichi

The sea is running away from meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I dont know what that means .

I dont even know toooooooooooooooooooo!

What is it that I cant swim, even though I came to swim in the beach!? Can anyone even explain this situation of me being avoided by the sea in the first place!?

Whether my wish has been granted, Brain announcer-san unexpectedly called out to me .

It has a lot of fear to touch Seiichi-sama, so the sea avoids you .

What is that being feared by the seaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

From the perspective of us humans, I think nature is more fear-inspiring and great!?

When the sea breaks on its own, the story of Moses, who is famous on earth, comes to my mind, but its contents are completely different .

Even that Moses-san, broke the sea with some kind of Gods power or just great power .

At least the sea didnt broke on him like what happened to me!

Or rather, I cant swim even when I come to the sea!?

What did I come here for? To aim for the dusk? Thats not good!

As I continue to do endless tsukkomi, brain announcer-san reservedly speaks to me .

Uhhmm if you want to cross the sea, should I open a way?

You dont have to open iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

What, such unconditional treatment manner . Scary .

I! just want to swim normally! I dont care if I get wet, so make it normal!

Ye, yes If you say so

When I thought that the voice of the brain announcement had disappeared, the sea that was avoiding me, as I approached it little by little with a feeling of reluctance, at last, I was able to enter the sea .

I did I did it Im, in the sea!

No, what are you seriously saying?

I dont even know!

I had no choice but to answer Als calm tsukkomi .

Whatever! Then Ill swim right away!

When I regained my mind, I floated in the sea and tried to swim as it was

I was made to lie on my back before I knew it, I floated without any resistance, and I was moving on the sea without my knowledge .

Whats more, it carries me in the direction that I want without my consent . It didnt take me any effort to do so .

Saria and the others were silently staring at such a figure of mine .

I didnt say that it was this kind of swim!

Su,such!?

What are you surprised at!?

No matter where and how you look at me, Im just floating, though!? I look like a corpse in the water depending on whos looking!?

When I got up while tsukkomiing involuntarily, I heard the brain announcements voice again .

Bu,but, it will put a burden on Seiichi-sama

Im just swimming, so theres no burden or anything!?

In any world, there are people who move while getting entertained by the sea!

Moreover, this is something that only I, who was floating, can understand, but It dexterously manipulates the water stream and massages my whole body like a waterbed while carrying me at a comfortable speed . You thought this was fine for me!

But what I want to do is swim, and not like a drowned body!

I appeal to the announcement in my brain from the bottom of my heart .

If you can help me in any way you can, help me more normally in the form of a skill! Im in the sea, so adapting to that environment, or something like that! Thats alright with me, so!

A,adaption, is it? In my humble opinion, I wonder if even the omniscient and almighty God is a necessity for you*, the God of trash(kami sura gomi) , but

The hell, who are you talking about?

What is even trash God!? Also, dont call me you*! (TN: *the you used here is (onmi) an honorific or respectful way of saying you in sonkeigo)

In spite of that environmental adaptation, is still necessary?

Eh, youre going to ask me there!?

Anyhow, Seiichi-sama doesnt have to adapt, since the surrounding environment will match to Seiichi-sama, so

Let me be a human!?

? Of course, Seiichi-sama is a human being, you know?

Its divergence from the image of a human being inside me is great . !

No matter how you think about it, dont talk about me being human . Im already, a human-shaped Nanika* . (TN: Something which isnt known)

I just, want to enjoy the sea normally! Thats why, I just want the ability to match it!

That is, a peaceful skill that feels like a Swimming skill!

Hah, if Seiichi-sama asked that much, then

Then, the announcement in my brain replied, although I appeared to be not somewhat convinced, of whether my complaint was understood by it or not .

Skill Aquatic* has been acquired (TN: The kanji used can also mean living in the water)

Not just swimming! I can even live here!

Its a ridiculous difference just by contrasting one letter!?

Apart from that, I dont plan to live underwater!

Why doesnt it feel like a normal swimming skill!?

No matter how you look at it, thats very far apart from a human!?

To me who continued my surging waves of tsukkomi, the brain announcement raised a voice of approval for some reason .

Ah! I see, that was very discourteous of me . But it is certainly so!

Oh, you finally understood huh .

Will I get the Swimming skill with this?

I can swim without it, but itll be somehow different if there was a correction .

Skill Aquatic (no oxygen required) has been acquired .

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?

Thats very far from humans! Its worse than before!?

This means, that I dont even need air in the water!? Even fish breathes!

Brain announcement, where do you want my body to go!?

? Did you have any inconveniences?

There are only inconveniences, though!?

However I thought that this would be suitable for Seiichi-sama, who is a Human Being, but

Its not a Human Being that I know!

At least I dont know any humans who can spend time in the water without breathing .

Well, isnt that fine? With this skill, Seiichi-sama will be able to fully enjoy the sea .

Hah!? No, just a little!? At least, the Swimming skill

Well then, have a nice day-off!

Waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

Come back! Please! Come baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

No matter how much I scream, the brain announcement did not answer .

As I was battered, Saria and the others approached me .

Whats wrong? Seiichi .

You, are noisy wherever you go

So,somewhatDue to the excessiveness of the world, Ive become able to live underwater

What happened in this short amount of time!?

Al, thats what I want to ask too .

However, the brain announcement had no reaction which is the other party I should questioned, and I have no longer any choice but to accept it .

Damnit! This is a mess! Ill swim to my hearts conteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeent!

Oh!

I, I dont really understand, but whatever, if youre that eager, then lets swim together!

While being invited by Al, I swim in the sea together with Saria and Al .

Saria, who originally caught fish in the river of the Forest of Endless Love and Sorrow, is also good at swimming and she swims smoothly in the sea .

Al has rarely come to the sea, and she hardly went outside until she met us, so she didnt even have a chance to swim, but still, shes swimming beautifully without any worries .

And speaking of me

Seiichi .

Yes?

Thats not called swimming!

I know right .

I was running under the sea .

It may not make sense, but I want you to feel assured .

I too dont even know what this means .

However, I am not swimming in the water, but I can move freely in it as if I were moving on the ground .

With that outcome, just like running on the ground, I succeeded in running underwater .

Whats more, I dont have to touch the bottom of the sea, and I can build a foothold just by the momentum of the water stream, so its literally running underwater .

Its possible for me to swim normally, but this one has a faster movement speed as you can see .

Oh, thats amazing, Seiichi! Then, Ill try it too!

Eh?

Then, when I thought that Saria, who was watching my movement, suddenly turned to her Goria form, in underwater or rather, she started sprinting on the surface of the sea .

I did it

Scaryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Among other things, its the terror of the Gorilla who is sprinting on the surface of the sea with her whole power! Moreover, her posture is super beautiful! In what place did she become a track and field athlete!?

Al, who was watching the scene the same as me, muttered .

I am, the most normal here .

No, even I too

Youre not .

Before I even finished, she denied it I just yearned being normal a little .

When I was enjoying the sea with Saria and Al, I heard a voice from the sandy beach .

Seiichi-oniichan .

Nn? Olga-chan what is that!?

When I turned my gaze towards her voice, a super-splendid castle was completed there .

A,are, when did you?

Come now its just, I could see Olga and Zora playing together on the beach, so I guess they made it together .

So big!

As Saria said, the sand castle near Olga-chan is, no different from our height .

When I went to Olga-chan and the others to see the castle near them, Olga-chan stuck out her chest .

Nn . I did my best .

Its amazing!

Mufu . But its not just with my power . Its thanks to Zora-oneechan .

He?

Perhaps because she didnt expect that shell throw the dice at her . Zora raised a surprised voice .

This castle is sturdy, because its been solidified, by Zora-oneechans ability .

Hee! I see .

When I was involuntarily impressed and turned my eyes to Zora, Zora shyly turned her gaze away .

Well, that lately, for some reason, Ive been feeling better I used to indiscriminately change my surroundings, to stones regardless of my will . But now I can control it freely of my own will . Moreover, I can now control the strength of petrification .

Were surprised that she has, grown like that .

Zora-chan, youve done it!

Ah, I think thats amazing . I know how happy you are not to be swayed by the power youve had trouble with .

Zora laughed happily at Als words .

Then, Zoras glasses are relieved from its duty?

Those glasses were originally made to suppress Zoras abilities, but if she can control them now, then its not needed anymore .

I think she heard that, but Zora shakes her head quietly .

No, this is . . Seiichi-san produced this thing for me . Because of this, I was able to look at people without being afraid, and I was able to see the outside world without fear . Thats why, this is, my treasure .

I,is that so .

Yes!

She turned a straight smile towards me, which made me feel quite embarrassed .

For me, I just acted on my own, hoping that I could get rid of Zoras troubles even for just a little, so I was very embarrassed to be thanked this much, and to be told that that glasses were a treasure .

When I was thinking about changing the topic somehow out of my embarrassment, I suddenly noticed something .

Come to think of it, wheres Rurune?

Are? shes certainly not here?

Everyone doesnt seem to know Rurunes whereabouts, so when we look around .

Milord!

Eh?

I heard Rurunes voice from the sea, so when I turned my gaze toward that voice

I caught this!

What did you catch!?

What the, Rurune was heading towards us, while blasting the surface of the sea, just as the time Goria ran on the surface of the sea .

Whats more, for some reason, there is an ominous creature on top of her .

Its ridiculously huge, and its appearance looks like a mollusk, just like octopus and squid, with tentacles extending from all over its body .

While we are all dumbfounded by the too unexpected creature, I activated Advanced Appraisal on the mysterious creature .

Evil God: - (TN: The evil god has been defeated by Rurune perhaps she can defeat the Demon God too?)

What did you briiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

Evil God! Its Evil God!

Where did she get it!? No, why is it here!?

No matter how I look at it, its more dangerous than the true Bahamut that she defeated yesterday! Because it doesnt have a level!

Rather, its not the same being as the ultimate goal of the Demon Gods Cult in terms of category!? Youre kidding me!?

It looks like Im going to loss a bit of my sanity since seeing it, but is that okay!?

If my eyes arent being strange, I think that its a dangerous guy as I see it, but

Altria-oneechan, its okay . I believe its dangerous even if I see it .

Tha,thats true Somehow, it looks frightening

Its twisting and turning .

Saria . You, really had strong guts! No matter how I look at it, its like the end of the world is about to come!

Then, my All Language Comprehension skill got activated, and I heard the words of the Evil god in front of me in my head .

did do nkey donkey that . donkey . Is scary

Rurune-san, what did you do?

I see the evil god shivering in fear without its own silhouette, you know?

I was stunned as I stare at the thing that Rurune brought Or rather, when I looked up, Rurune was floating an exuberant smile .

How is it, Milord! Doesnt it look delicious!?

Sorry, I dont have the sensibility to say that this looks delicious! Why did you bring it in the first place!?

In response to my natural question, Rurune turned an apologetic look .

Thats Ive caused a lot of trouble to Milord yesterday, so so, you can call it an apology of mine Im going to let not only Milord but also everyone else eat what Ive caught .

Rurune

No way, we were surprised that a word came out of Rurunes mouth that shell gave away her food .

I think last nights dinner removal was quite effective . No, I think it was too effective, but .

Anyway, Rurune seems to have brought this evil god to us with her own meaning of yesterdays remorse .

To have us eat it .

Rurune, you

Milord

Im sorry, I cant eat this!

Su,suuuuuuuuuuuuch!?

No, Im happy with Rurunes feelings, but in what world are there people who will eat this evil god!?

Even if it does look like an octopus No, its impossible after all!

When Saria and the others nodded to my words, Rurune also seemed to have realized that all of us wouldnt eat it, so she dropped her shoulders .

Tha, thats right I cant force you to eat it I understand . I will responsibly eat it

Eh?

When my eyes were dotted to her unexpected remark, Lulune opened her mouth and ran to the evil god!

Gyaaaahh the hell the heeell donkey scary he,heeeeeeeeeeelp

Mogumogu after all as I expected Its good even if its raw the saltiness of the sea what is it

The evil god steadily fitted inside Rurunes belly .

At that time, I could hear the evil gods death cries, but I didnt hear anything . I couldnt hear anything!

And finally, when the last tentacle entered inside Rurunes mouth, Rurune stroked her belly with a smile .

After all, it was delicious as I expected!

I . is that so? Thats good, right?

Yes!

For the time being, Rurune grew a little (?) and what she had done, made me honestly pleased, that this city had escaped from the crisis of the world .

When Seiichi and his companions were having fun in the port city of Southern, Ranze, the king of the Kingdom of Welmburg, was busy with work .

The report of this territory, and the amount of tax collected are strange . I know that there was a poor harvest last year and the tax revenue was low, but there are no rumors or information like that this year . I will have you submit it again, and find it out .

Hah!

Under Ranzes instructions, the soldier receives the documents and leaves .

Without looking at the soldier, he moves on to the next paperwork, but after seeing the letters written on the documents for a long time, the color of fatigue appeared in Ranzes eyes .

Kuh Im having trouble with my eyes getting tired recently Thanks to Seiichi, my life expectancy has been extended, and even though I am in good health itself, if I cram my root too much, it seems that it will eventually break my body

Involuntarily looking at the documents piled up on his desk, he blurted out .

Then, the door of Ranzes room was knocked again .

Enter

Hah! Pardon me!

Im sure you are one of the soldiers in charge of patrolling near the border, right?

Hah! Its a great honor for me to have His Majesty remember my face!

As the soldier says, Ranze knew not only his name, but the face and the affiliations of each soldier .

Therefore, he immediately knew the affiliation of the soldiers who came to the room in this manner, but he tilts his head at the same time .

So, whats wrong? The fact that you came all the way here what happened near the border?

Hah . Actually

Upon hearing the report from the soldier, Ranze expressed a look of doubt .

Nn? Lately, youve seen the Kaiser Empire move near the border?

Hah! Apparently, they were looking for someone, but

I dont understand why, but theres a lot of distance from that country to ours, and above all, they didnt come into contact with the border . But theres indeed soldiers there It definitely smells like trouble

Ranze, who seemed to be tired, deposited his body on the back of the chair .

Besides I dont want you to work near that area too much . Im worried by the Mountain that appeared . The hell, what purpose does it have ?

What would you like for us to do?

Lets see . If theyre searching for something as you said, it may be important to the Kaizer Empire . Go call Louise .

Hah!

Once the soldier step back as it is, he came again with Louise in tow .

Your Majesty, I have brought you Louise-sama!

Thanks for the trouble . Please withdraw .

Hah!

When the soldier falls back as it is, the remaining Louise approaches Ranze .

Your Majesty . It was said that you have called for me, but whats wrong?

Actually, it seems that the figures of the soldiers of the Kaizer Empire near the border towards the Mountain can be seen . Apparently, they were looking for something or someone, but I want you to see the situation .

Hah but, Im not really good at covert operations, though

You dont have to worry about it . In the first place, it wont be a problem even if it is within the border, and above all, its troublesome when a Mountain emerged . If they get in your way, you can attack . Thats why, take the Sword Saint War Maiden (Valkyrie) , and find out what the Kaizer Empire might be looking for .

Your will

Louise bows her head and leaves .

Ranze sighed, as he looked at her figure .

Geez, that country doesnt do anything decent I want to take a bath as soon as possible .

Ranze sighed again, and when he regained his mind, he started his next job .
