Chapter 511 Tyrant Swordfish

After a dinner of Cold Pasta, which I a.s.sure you is so much more delicious than it sounds, we went to bed early.

Thanks to the horror of facing Charybdis, we were all exhausted. Well, I dont think my familiars were horrified, but we all fell asleep quickly enough.

The next day, I woke up refreshed.

A new day!

A day for new horrors!

No need to be bogged down by yesterdays doom!

Hahah!

Members of the [Ark] also woke up with a new mental state.

Its too late to go back anyway. We can only struggle ahead, said Gaudino-san sagely.

We can only do our best,

Indeed,

Yes,

Despite the short answers, there was a calmness to their att.i.tude. I guess they must have achieved some sort of enlightenment?

Well, people who regularly fight monsters and challenge dungeons should have pretty strong mental health, right?q

Rather than resigning or giving up, they choose to be philosophical about it. I can only applaud their good att.i.tude.

To that, I could only say, W-well, lets have breakfast first.

Todays breakfast consisted of a plain omelette, consomm soup with plenty of vegetables, and a b.u.t.ter roll. It was one of my simpler Western-style dishes.

Naturally, this simple breakfast was for myself and the [Ark], although I did expect to have to give Feodora-san a little something extra later. I doubt she could resist the Gigantic Minotaur Steak Bowl that my familiars were chowing down now.

A hearty breakfast later, I was shocked when everyone from the [Ark] asked to try the Steak Bowl (with Feodora-san eating three full bowls by herself), we all boarded [Mizumaru] and headed out into the open sea once more.

Today, the sea was a gentle marine blue under the brilliant suns.h.i.+ne.

Id have enjoyed this trip better if this was not a dungeon.

No, wait.

The sea in this entire world is horrifically dangerous, infested with Krakens, giant fish, giant squids, whirlpools with teeth and other deep sea horrors.

Nevermind.

Oi, whats that thing? Siegwald-san squinted into the horizon.

An island?

It looks like its moving

Is that doesnt it look like a dorsal fin?

Whats a dorsal fin?

The fin on the back of a fish.

That cant be I was suddenly reminded of the Jaws movies back on earth.

By now, I was squinting against the sunlight along with members of the [Ark], trying to see what that sail-like black thing was.

I think its a fin, said Dora-chan.

No duh.

[1]

Suddenly, the shadow leapt out of the water.

Splash!!

A fish? Wait, how big is it?!

For a moment it looked like the fish was suspended in the air, backlit by the false daylight. That long pointed snout, that sharp under lip, that sail-like fin on its back and crescent moon tail

I-its a marlin?! I have only seen these fish in fis.h.i.+ng magazines, but there is no mistaking the shape.

There is a reason why fishermen liked to pose with this fish. Even back on Earth, its huge! This one, however

The second time it leapt into the sky, it looked significantly bigger. About 20 meters? No, 30 meters? More? Even taking that long nose into consideration, thats still too big!!!

O-oh my, thats thats probably a Tyrant Swordfish Gaudino-san muttered.

A Tyrant Swordfish?

Yes, its an A Rank monster you only meet at sea. Its said to be as troublesome as Krakens since it could sink large s.h.i.+ps

S-seriously?

With one poke of that long nose

We all stared down at Suis transparent body.

Say began Gaudino-san. Slimes are incredibly st.u.r.dy, right?

I- I think so, I said. So, um, like, I think we dont have to worry about that fish sinking us More importantly, I turned to look at two sleeping lumps next to us. They dont seem to be worried.

I was actually suuuper anxious, but I dont want to look bad in front of professionals!!

Its coming!

The quiet Feodora-san actually shouted.

Aruji~ big fishy~ big fishy~

The Tyrant Swordfish was speeding at us so fast that it created a wake behind it.

Eh, ehhh!!!

No lie, I lost all my cool then

Gotchu~~!

Sui!

Somehow, Sui manages to wrap her tentacles around the Tyrant Swordfishs long spear-like snout.

Hm? Umm~ Aruji~!?

Instead of slowing down like a sensible, normal creature, the Tyrant Swordfish splashed its tail and shot forward, its spear-like snout actually stabbing through Sui.

Sui!!

We all struggled to maintain our footing as Sui was pushed back.

Ou!! Ill finish it off! Hold it down, Sui!

Dora-chan took off into the air and Ice Spears stabbed through the fishs head and body.

Ah~ Sui wants to kill it~~!!

Hey, Im helping you because youre being pushed back.

Mu

, its Suis prey~!

As my two smallest familiars quarrelled, I cleared my throat and beamed at members of the [Ark]. Ahem, as you can see, theres no need to worry.

Indeed, said Gaudino-san. In a way, your Slime is actually safer than any fortress.

Considering how Fenrir-dono and Ancient Dragon-dono are still sleeping

Well, it certainly is an experience,

Many strange experiences

I dont know what to think about Feodora-sans strange experiences remark lets just ignore it.

Meanwhile, Dora-chan and Sui were still arguing. Im so glad that the [Ark] couldnt hear their childish quarrels

Still, better put a stop to it.

Ahem, Sui, Dora-chan, dont argue. Does the Tyrant Swordfish has any Drop items?

Ah~ hmm here~ theres this~!

Suis tentacle rose from the sea and dropped a lump onto the [Mizumaru].

A meat Drop?

Is it delicious~?

Hmm, I pretended to study the meat as I cast [Appraisal]. Looks like it should be delicious when grilled with Teriyaki sauce or Garlic Soy sauce.

If its anything like the real Marlin fish from Earth, it could only be good.

Ou!! Delicious you say? Hear that, Sui?! Dora-chan crowed.

Yes~!!

Lets hunt em all!!

Wh-what is that pocket monster hunter-like battle cry??!!

Alright!! Ill fly ahead, you just follow me!!

Lets go~! Fishy~!

Uh, you guys- Before I could say anything, the two of them had already decided things on their own.

A fin! Righ ahead, Sui!!

Yay~!!

Ooff! I actually stumbled from the sudden increase in speed.

Hey, said Gideon-san. Whats going on?

Uh

So noisy, keep it down will you? Fer grumbled.

Oh, the young ones are hunting fish? Hmm, good for them. I shall rest here

Uh, Mukouda-san?

yes?

Are we hunting Tyrant Swordfish?

I dont know about we, but Sui and Dora-chan are hunting Tyrant Swordfish.

Aaa

Indeed,

[Gumihou: Here we go again!!]
