42-042-The story of voyage

128 years in the life of the King, 40 days in the green moon

＜The Jewel of the West Coast, by sea.

We left the port city of Aquaria as planned, heading for the western island nation of Frost Kingdom.

In the world I once saw, the brave Kanemitsu and the diva Marinella impressed (?) After the farewell to our party, the brave party had taken a passenger ship from Aquaria port to the west, but we commoners don't have the financial means to do so.

Therefore, we were not passengers, but merchant ships, hired as an escort, heading west.

I'm going to go out for a while.

"Take care of it, please.

"I've got it.

Me and Elena walked out of the cabin with the two little guys and joined the sailors on deck.

Then a man on top looked up at us and shouted, "Just in time, Miss Ane!

'Just in time, Miss Ane-san!　I need that thing up front, please!

Hearing those words, Elena is genial with an expression on her face that looks like she bit down on a bitter worm.

I'll do it properly, but please really don't call me that way!

Now, why is Elena called Miss Ane-san by the merchant sailors?

It goes back to two days ago now.

....

...

128 years in the life of St. King's, Green Moon, 38 days.

"Umi~!　The sea is so big!

Elena, you're in a good mood.

'Yes. Sea, sea, sea, sea!　Anyway, the amount of mana is amazing, and I don't have to eat for a while with this one~''

I see, Elena had said that the supply of power had been stopped by the gods, but it seems that in an environment where there is plenty of water, it can replenish itself.

''The ocean is a special thing for water spirits, isn't it?

"Yes. It's not a problem if you fire a little water attribute magic in rapid succession now... You can even build an ice pillar with a bang around there!

No, you don't have to do it.

Icicle pillar!

Boom!

Why did you stand up?

But right after I voiced my protest, the sailors started buzzing.

I spoke to one of the sailors, freaked out that I'd caused some kind of problem with my current shot.

'What's going on?'

There's a Kraken hiding in the same place where your lady friend just put her magic in!

What did you say?

If I'd missed it, he'd have put a hole in the bottom of the boat and I'd have been saved!

....er...

Elena. Did she see you coming?

"...moreover of course!

There was a strange pause until I answered, and my eyes were strangely glazed over, but I didn't dare mention it.

And then I thought to myself--

That will be really great!

I think I'll be ready for this cruise with you in it!

It's rude to call me "you". From now on, let's call her Ane-san!

"Oh!

...

.........

And, well, it's like this.

To be honest, I had it coming, but I popped Elena's shoulder, who was screaming in protest with tears in her eyes, and I shook my head, shaking my eyes down.

'It's okay. Still, Elena is Elena.

"Ahem!　That's an extra scratchy way to say it!

As Elena stood at the bow of the ship drearily, she looked straight ahead as if to relieve her exasperation and shouted.

'Aquaspred!

A large number of water bullets fired by Elena landed on a group of flying monsters that were poised far away in the sky, and the demons that were caught by surprise fled in a flash.

''Phew, that's all right.''

When I returned to the ship after finishing my work, I was immediately greeted by smiling sailors.

"Thanks for your work, Miss Ane-san!

It's always good to have you around, Ane-san!

"Whoa!

128 years in the life of the King, green moon, 41 days.

Despite Elena's many hardships, we were heading to the snowy island nation, fighting off the monsters smoothly.

However, the incident occurred in spite of my hopes that we would arrive at our destination without any problems.

Oh my God!　There's an iceberg ahead!

"f*ck you!　What the hell were those guys on duty doing!

Oh, I was watching you.　That big, stupid iceberg just grew out of nowhere!

This is bullshit!

The ship is in an uproar over the cursing of the argument.

As we wove our way through the bewildered sailors standing around the bow, there was definitely an iceberg in the distance ahead.

To the untrained eye, I say, "Why don't we just turn the helm and avoid it? But looking at the sailors' situation, it seems it's not an easy story.

In the midst of such a commotion, Elena, who had been staring at the iceberg while gazing at it with her eyes fixed on it, gets a horrified expression on her face.

''Kanata-san!　That's an ice golem!

What did you say?

It's true that ice golems do appear around the Frost Kingdom, which is a snow country, but this place is still on the ocean and quite far from the habitat area.

And I've never seen a golem so huge that it could be mistaken for an iceberg, not even once have I seen one like that before!

"My skills cannot damage an ice golem...

Elena's main skill is the water attribute, which naturally makes her extremely incompatible with ice golems.

Although the additional effect of the necklace has given her the holy attribute, it is almost exclusively a defensive skill, and naturally it would be impossible to defeat an iceberg-like giant ice golem.

Even Satsuki, as expected of this situation, just cringes with anxiety.

'Onii-chan, what shall we do!　I can't swim!

You'll be fine. If I could swim, Elena would be the only one who could save me from being thrown into this f*cking cold sea.

Wow, that's not all right!

While soothing Satsuki, who was crying, I glanced at that of the middle finger on my right hand.

''Oh well, we'll just have to do it!

I pour my magic power into the ring while focusing on the middle finger of my right hand.

The languor hits my entire body after just one, and I feel like my entire consciousness is going to be reaped, but somehow I manage to clench my teeth!

Oops....

When I staggered back a little off balance, a thin hand gently supported me on my back.

''Don't take it too hard, please...''

I smiled proudly at the anxious Elena and raised my hand straight from the bow to the ice block.

'Go!　Efreet!

A wolf covered in huge flames emerged from the ring, and with a dazzling light, it released a huge flaming bullet!

When it went straight into the iceberg...

Doggone it, doggone it, doggone it!

A tremendous roar erupted and the iceberg exploded in a massive explosion.

Faster than I could comprehend what had happened, Elena opened her hands and shouted.

''Sacred Holy Shield!

Elena's dignified voice echoed across the ocean, and a rainbow-colored shield spread out in front of the ship.

It is a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what to expect when you go to the beach.

I'm glad I was able to make it in time.

What is this...?

I muttered as I looked at the ice chunks still gunning against the barrier, and Satsuki said, "Ah! I raised my voice.

'When I was frying, my mom said I should never put water in it!

'Ahhhhh...'

In other words, the ice golem that had been eaten by Efreet's huge flames must have been vaporized all at once, and it must have exploded in the sea.

I was only thinking about defeating the ice golem, but I had completely lost track of what happened after that.

''...By the way, did Elena know and do the magic you just did?''

''Eeeee. Somehow, about right before Kanata-san summoned Efreet, the water suddenly started making a lot of noise. The mana increased abnormally, so I had a bad feeling...''

Hmm, as expected of a water spirit.

Maybe they react much more sharply to such changes than humans do.

''At any rate, you really saved me, thank you, Elena.

"Eh, oh. I'm glad I was able to help you. "Ehehe~

Looking at Elena, who was smiling shyly and happily, I looked back again.......and this time, I was met with the passionate envy of all the sailors who were looking at me.

Not only are you a summoner, you're also a summoner, people don't look like that!

"Hey!　What do you mean, people are not always what they seem!　Kanata, you look so cool too!　Pfft!''

Oh, f*ck.

And so, to celebrate the defeat of the ice golem, there was a celebration on the deck, with a lot of drinking and singing.
