179 179 stories Ex-piracy ship, heading back to the Great Sea Plains!

Having returned the pirates disguised as merchant ships, we decided to head straight to the East.

"Wow, seriously, it's gone to nothing."

Gyro is surprised that the ship has gone out into the ocean and you can't see anything around it. [M]

"Even when I went to the seaside country to investigate the megalo whale, I could see the land, but now it really doesn't look like anything. The ocean is really big."

Liliera and the others were just excited about the size of the ocean.

"If you fall here into the ocean, you may drown without being able to return to land."

"Don't be scared!

Mr. Norb screams at Megri for suddenly saying that.

Megli, stop it.

"If you stay so far from land, even flying magic won't keep you magic"

"Well, then you don't have to fall off the ship, do you?

"But there's also the risk of a storm. People thrown out of ships in a storm don't seem to help first."

"Ma, are you serious..."

Gyro swallows Gokuri and spit in Mr. Megri's narrative.

"Phew, that's why I'm coming under my clothes with the bathing suit Lex gave me! Because you can breathe even if this falls in the water!

That said, Mr. Megli took off his jacket and showed off the swimsuit he was wearing inside.

"Whoa! You're a genius!

"No, no, you're just too worried, aren't you? I mean, treat me like I don't know!

Yeah, because Mina's right, the pirates around you are staring at Megri in her swimsuit with a gnawed face.

"No worries if you're ready. Bandits think about what they might have done, what they might have done."

"You threatened us to brag about it."

"It's a joke."

Everyone shouts when they realize that the threat is the result of wearing a swimsuit.

"Totally. You can't let me fall into the ocean that easily."

"Yeah, well, don't bother trying to get back to shore in the first place, if you go back to the ship, you won't have to worry about losing your magic."

"Meanwhile, we all went back to getting dressed."

Oh, really.

◆

A few days have passed since I left the harbor.

"Um, I'm free"

That's right. I went out into the ocean and for a while I was hunting and cooking for demons who had fished and attacked me, basically because there was nothing on the ocean.

I really don't have any entertainment to spare.

I see, that's why the luxury ship you hear rumors about was so big and entertaining in vain. I've never been on it.

"Brother, I'm free."

The first one was Gyro, who said it was perfect for training sea demons opponents, but the demons don't always strike either, and if they're weak demons, the pirates are the only ones who can defend them enough, so I was totally free now.

"How many days until the East?

"Sure, it's gonna take a month."

"" "" A month to!? "" "

We scream when we hear such boredom lasts for another month.

"Ugh, do you want to fly magically out of the sky anymore?

"No, no, you can't fly a month's distance to a boulder."

Too bored to say something unscrupulous to Mr. Liliera, who is usually calm.

"Ugh... I can't stand a life where I don't make money for that long..."

"Ahhh!? I imagined a long period of unpaid living. Megri has withdrawal symptoms!

Huh? What's that withdrawal symptom?

"I mean, why is Mr. Megli so obsessed with money? I thought you didn't have to worry about money because you were an Idra shadow warrior.

Mr. Megli's obsession with money has been questionable for a long time, hasn't it?

"I, my mother told me from a small age that I could make my own money..."

"Huh? That's not normal...?

"Like, food money."

"It wasn't normal!?"

You pay for your own food!?

"When I was raised so that I could do it on my own to some extent, I was suddenly told that and thrown out to my grandfather in the country. So it really helped me to be an adventurer and be able to make my own money... and by the way, the only expenses I needed as a shadow fighter were out of the country"

I see. Mr. Megli's obsession with money was caused by his mother's Spartan education, wasn't it?

"Just pay for it and food comes out and a decently furnished life is the best"

I don't think this is going to work...

"Uh, I'm free."

Gyro, your blur reminds me of our spare time.

"Um, it'd be easier if you could just let me retrofit the ship."

Exactly that...

"" "" That's it!! "" "

"What!?"

"That's it! It's a ship modification!

"Right! Fucking slow ship, too. I just need my brother to modify it!

No, Gyro, that line is dangerous with the pirates in the back staring at you with great eyes.

"Right, that was certainly a blind spot. If you could just modify it, you'd get there sooner!

"Yeah, let Rex modify it"

"As good as it gets, it's a good idea."

Yes, no, I just said as one of the analogies, it's a bit...

"All right, I'll listen to you!

"Whoa, Captain. Whoa!

"Hino!? What is it, boy?!?"

Gyro rushes over to you and the captain screams.

I don't remember doing anything that screamed like that.

"Nah, can I remodel this ship?

"What? Modifications?

Suddenly they say it's a remodel, and the captain tilts his neck and looks over at us.

Uh, yeah, all of a sudden you're confused when they say that.

"Well, I was hoping I could install some magic tools to speed up the ship's travel."

"Demonic props!? Does my husband even have them like that!?"

Something's calling my husband.

"Yeah, so I was hoping to remodel the ship a little for installation."

"Demonic props, speed increases...... work accomplishes...... Huh!? Please!

The captain gave me permission to modify the ship with his eyes sparkling.

Yeah, yeah, I figured if you're a man of the sea, improving the performance of your own ship would be romantic.

"Ha-ha-ha! Magic Gear will boost the ship's performance -! Hyah ho!"

"Hey, Mr. Rex"

As the captain skipped back to work, Mr. Liliera spoke with a difficult face.

"What is it, Mr. Lilliera?

"No, don't agree with me. What, those people are pirates?

"Yeah, that's right"

"I don't know if I could modify those people's ships, but I think they'd do worse damage on that ship. Are you okay?

Oh, Mr. Liliera's worried about that, isn't she?

"It's okay. When we get to the East, we'll stick it out to the Knights."

Because those people are pirates. We need to keep it where it belongs.

"Oh, yeah. If you think about it properly. I'm sorry. Listen to something weird. Yeah, that's what happens when you think about it."

Mr. Liliera is worried.

"Well, then I guess I'll modify the ship!

What kind of modification do we do first?

"First of all, we need to speed up the ship. And to withstand the speed, and to increase the strength of the hull when it accidentally hits a rocky reef. When the speed increases and the shake increases, there is already a built-in impact mitigation mechanism. And we need protection so the crew on the deck doesn't fall off the ship."

Yeah, I can see the direction.

"Let's make the increase in speed a double propulsion by wind and water pressure combined with wind and water magic, and let's make the steering a water rudder formula that magically moves the surrounding water, not the rudder"

Once the proposed modification is consolidated, I will take the material out of the magic bag and proceed with the modification of the ship.

Construction work ignoring wobbles by magically fixing materials and components in the air.

Install all sorts of finished magic items on the ship, and attach reinforcement members to the ship's fortifications while flying with further flying magic.

And once all the magic props have been installed, strengthen and protect the entire hull...

"All right, done!

"" "" "" Fast!? "" "

"No, because it's an easy modification to say it's early"

"No, no, because that's not the problem. It hasn't been half a day since we started remodeling!?"

"Huh? Seriously? So this is it?

When I told him the ship was finished remodeling, for some reason everyone was turning their eyes round.

"At first glance, I can only see that I put some magic props and metal plates on the ship..."

"I'll magically make up for all the features I need. It's not a modification that would overhaul the hull itself. I don't think we can do this without a dedicated dock."

"That means you can make any further modifications..."

"And it's too soon..."

As a matter of fact, this is a simple modifying magic prop for an existing ship that I built in previous generations.

It's an old, better built from scratch ship, or a technology developed for emergencies that need to be modified.

The downside is that it performs at all less than the most advanced ships designed specifically for that matter.

"Then I'll get it up and running!

When activated, the shipwreck first fits perfectly by the impact mitigation function.

"Hey what!? No more shaking!?"

The shaking of the ship subsides and the pirates are upset.

The wind junction to prevent outboard falls is then activated and the wind around the ship stops.

"Ko, now the wind has stopped!? What's going on!?"

"So far it's been designed, then let's move on!

When you activate the Demon Prop for movement, the ship moves out.

That speed was unparalleled earlier, and at that speed I was under the illusion that clouds over the sky were moving at tremendous speeds.

"Ku, the clouds are moving at incredible speeds!? What do you mean!?"

Yeah, yeah, it's working fine.

And that's when Dobba!! sounds awesome.

"What's that noise now!?"

When everyone who is surprised by the sound stops by the boat, they discover something.

"Co, isn't Koitsu the ship's wrecker Pile Shark?!?"

"Dude, what's going on!? You're gushing like a crushed banana with a pileshark drilling a big hole relentlessly that would be a warship with awesome thrust and horn hardness!?"

Apparently, the ship's hull enhancements are working properly, too.

I saved you the trouble of testing it.

"" "" Yes, what the hell is going on?!? ""

The pirates screamed as they hammered beautifully.

"The ship's performance test is done, and then it's time to head to the East at full speed"

"Hey, hey, Mr. Rex. That's good, but shouldn't I explain something to those people?

And he asks me if Mr. Liliera should not explain to the pirates.

"Then didn't the captain do it?

"But I don't think you know what's going on."

"Uh, the guy at sea likes to flirt on top of the nori. I'm just kidding around with this performance test."

Even in the previous life, the sailors were good at crushing their leisure so that they wouldn't get bored on long journeys.

So I guess the ship's performance test is also like a little show if you put it on them.

If you think...

"Ko, what the hell is this?!?"

A skipped captain crawled over to ask what was going on.

"Oh, my God, I was commissioning the ship after it was remodeled."

The captain takes exaggerated reactions, too.

Whatever it takes, you won't lose your hips to the extent you've increased the speed of the ship.

"And, commissioning!? This is it!? or we started modifying it in the morning, right? Are you done yet?

"Yeah, because it was an easy modification"

"Ko, this is easy......?

The captain, who heard my explanation, shuddered for some reason.

"Ko, is this easy?... this is...?

I don't feel like exaggerating a bit, but, well, if you're having fun, that's fine.

"Then for the East, let's go!

I turned on my demon props and resumed my journey to the East.

"Ya, I got involved in Yabe's..."

Hmm? What does that mean, Captain?
