180 Episode 180: Storm Landing

Three days have passed since the pirate ship was remodeled to make its way to the East.

"I see land!

"Land!?"

When we hear we finally see land, we all go out on deck.

But across from the ship were all the seas, and I could see no land anywhere.

"Dude, where's the land?

"I can see it right."

and I can hear voices from the watchtower above the mast.

"Do you see it if you go up there?

"Whoa! Up there!

Gyro, when you fly magically up there, everyone goes up next to it.

I also jump with physical strengthening magic and ride on top of a sail column.

Then I saw something stretching thin across the ship.

"Is that... a mountain?

Yes, at the end of the ocean, I could see the tip of a potpound and a mountain.

"I can only see the mountains without seeing the land."

"Hey, that's the tallest mountain in the East, on Mount Amatsukami. Come on"

"" "" "" "Mount Amatsukami?

When I went up over the ship with flying magic, I finally saw the whole thing.

"Wow. I can't see the land at all, but only the mountains can clearly tell"

That means that Mount Amatsukami is a very large mountain.

Maybe it's a good size to say mountain range.

"That's a hell of a size."

"How big is that mountain alone?

Everyone is overwhelmed by the size of Mount Amatsukami.

"Anyway, it's finally land! I miss the ground!

Haha, because it was definitely on the boat the whole time. I'm used to shaking my body.

"Hmm? What?

and it was then.

A pirate watching the perimeter on a watchtower points to the nearby sky.

"Hey, look at me, it's a rain cloud"

When I saw it, dark clouds were approaching from across the sky.

"That distance would get us to land first. Even if you get caught in a storm before you get to the worst port, you can do it if you dock near land."

The pirates are immediately discussing dealing with the storm.

It feels like the men of the sea are good and evil around here anyway.

"Well, with the speed of this ship now, we can get to land before the rain clouds come"

"So is that!

"" "Ha-ha-ha" "

Sure, you wouldn't have to worry about getting caught in the storm unless it wasn't so much trouble because the speed of this ship would allow you to travel faster than the rain clouds approaching.

I thought...

"Hey, that's crazy."

The other pirates on the watchtower raise their voices in surprise as they look around.

"What's the matter?

"Rain clouds are approaching too fast. Besides, it was a blue sky earlier, but it's surrounded by clouds!

"Huh?"

True. The sky is becoming more and more cloudy when I notice it.

"And this cloud, it's getting darker and thicker."

"What is this? I've never seen weather like this..."

The pirates are also baffled by this strange weather.

"I have a bad feeling! Hurry up, we're going to land!

"" "" Hey, Captain!! ""

The sailors who perceived the danger moved fast.

But...

"What is the speed of that cloud spreading!?"

Cloud speeds spread faster than expected, wrapping the surrounding side with dark rain clouds.

"Shit. This wind...... it's gonna be a storm!!"

As the captain put it, the waves get a little higher and the ship starts to shake.

"Ah, storms come so suddenly!?"

When Mr. Liliera, who has no experience of storms, speaks out in confusion, the captain denies it as he defies the shake.

"Yes, no, I've never had such a strange storm. This can't be happening!

The ship has already been hit by considerable shaking and the pirates are struggling to work on the shaking deck.

"When this happens, you're lucky to have a wind fence on your deck with wind pressure control."

Now if it had even been affected by the wind storm, the pirates would have been thrown out into the sea by now.

Besides, the fact that the strength of the hull has been increased by modification also plays a role.

You don't know what life can do for you.

"Husbands please go back to your room before the storm gets full!

The captain tells us to go back to his room with a serious face.

"Right. I'll leave you to your post and we'll be quiet."

"Okay."

Everyone returns to the ship honestly saying that there is nothing they can do with natural phenomena.

But then. A large wave struck and the ship swayed heavily.

"Whew!"

"Ahhh!?"

Everyone rolls over to a sudden big swing.

"If you can't see the view outside, you can't handle the looming waves."

This really sounds like you should stay quiet in the room.

But things don't seem so easy, and new problems arise.

"Oh my God! There's a hole in the bottom of the ship with the current shake!

"What!?"

Oh, my God, if there's a hole in the boat, the water will come in!

"You shouldn't! We need to help fix this right away!

When we got to the bottom of the ship, the ship looked awful.

There are already a number of holes in the bottom of the ship, and the pirates are desperate to make repairs, but they are very untouched.

"What to do, brother!?"

"First, you magically block the hole! Freezing Cube!"

Freeze the water flowing in with ice magic.

"So much so that freezing sea water prevents water from entering! Then we can do it too!

Liliera and Mina, who saw my way, freeze the other holes with the same ice magic.

"Ugh..."

"Are you all right? God, a healing miracle. Healing."

Mr. Norb is healing and treating wounded pirates.

"Shh, excuse me"

"I just blocked it temporarily, so do your repairs now"

"Wow, I get it!

But you did. I also increased the strength when modifying the hull, but on top of the low strength of the original material, this ship itself is not very well built, so depending on the strength of the storm, the ship may not hold it.

"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!

"Wow! There's a hole over here!

No, there seems to be a problem elsewhere.

"If we don't protect the ship from the waves, we're not going to fix it."

As soon as I get out to the deck, I'll check my surroundings.

The storm is getting pretty strong, and the pirates are holding onto it and stomping to avoid being thrown off the ship.

"Yes, sir! It's dangerous, please go back inside!

He tells me to go back while the captain grabs the rope tied to the sail column.

This is the deck. Then it doesn't look like it's going to be maneuvered.

"I will protect the ship from the waves! Floatfield!"

When I activate the magic, the rocking of the ship subsides.

"Hey, what? Did the shake subside?

"Oh, look! There's a ship floating around!

"" "" What!? ""

The pirates, realizing the ship was floating, rush to see the sea level from the edge of the ship.

"Ho, it's true. The ship is floating... What the hell is going on?

"Could this be my husband, too?

I assumed it was me who did this. The captain asks terribly.

"Yeah, I magically floated the ship, so I need you to fix it now."

"Ma, seriously, did my husband do it!?"

"Su, suge, I can't believe you let the ship float in space..."

"I can't believe it..."

The pirates stare at me in dismay, but they can't stay forever.

"Come on, fix it while you can!

"Heh, heh! Hey, you guys! I'll fix the ship right away!

"" "Hey, Captain!!" "

And when the pirates head to repair the ship, Mr. Liliera and the others come back to replace them.

"Mr. Rex! We're done with the first aid!

"Good luck to you all"

"Suddenly the shake is gone, but the storm is over?

"Yeah, it's still windy and rainy. Now I'm magically floating around to fix the ship."

"Floating?... Oh, really. It's floating."

"I've accepted that the ship is floating, but you're doing something insane again."

"I can't believe you can float something this big with purely personal magic instead of modifying it with magic props and flying in the sky... I knew Lex's magic was outrageous"

"No, no, it's a matter of surgical compatibility. This float field has unlimited zero gravitational effects on any material in space. It's a special kind of hauling magic used when large vehicles are broken in places where there are no repair facilities."

"I've never heard such magic before."

Anyway, first we have to wait until the ship is repaired.

Float fields are not magic for travel.

"I need to give the ship the ability to fly now so that we can avoid the effects of waves."

"Wow!!"

It was then. The pirates who were working on the deck were screaming and pointing back.

"Oh, is that!?"

That was a huge wave.

More than a few dozen meters, a huge wave came at us floating in the sky.

"Come on! Evade!

Though we managed to avoid the big waves, the big waves strike one after the other.

The Great Wave is the size that will reach this ship, all of which is floating in the sky.

But I shouldn't have been distracted by the big wave.

A high wave struck me hiding in the big wave, hitting the bottom of the boat and the boat swaying with glitter.

"" "" Wow!! ""

And unluckily, the pirates who were working on the deck fell into the sea.

"You shouldn't!

Shit! We have to go help the people who fell!

But if we go help them, the floatfield will run out!

Looks like I've got another hole in the bottom of the boat in the current high wave, and I hear anger coming from the boat.

Then we can't bring the ship back to sea!

What are we going to do?

"Leave this place to us!

That was the time. Mr. Liliera and the others jump out to sea.

"Everybody!?"

"They'll help us, so Mr. Rex has a ship!

"But!"

"We can do this, too! Believe me, brother!

And while I'm at it, everyone accelerates with flying magic to save the falling pirates.

"Okay! I'll leave you all to it! But when you do, use the underwater respiratory function you planted in your swimsuit! And then in the ocean, you pull out your body and you go in the direction of rising!

Loud magic adds volume and delivers advice to everyone exposed to wind and rain.

"I get it...!

The voices from Liliera and the others are small and I'm worried if they really got their voices, but I'm sure everyone will be fine!

"I'll take care of it, guys!

I also rushed to assemble and install magic tools to fly the ship while protecting it from imminent waves.

◆

"Huh, looks like you managed to get through the storm."

Then, having managed to complete the rapid flight device, I left the ship's steering to the pirates and magically blew the big wave blocking the ship's path to land.

And the storm suddenly stopped as the coast approached.

"But what the hell was that storm?

As it lands near the coast, the anchor is unloaded and anchored once.

The pirates did the first aid, but we should be sure to check the ship once.

"Then repair the ship before you go to the harbor... Huh?

Turning around, for some reason, the pirates were grounded against me.

"Huh? What?

"" "" "Thank you, God of the Sea!!" ""

"To?"

Sea God? Who?

"There's no way we can just be humans, like protecting us from that nightmarish storm and getting to land safely while flying through the sky! You are the god of the sea!

Huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!?

What are you talking about, these people? No, no, no, no!?

"You've come to punish us and to save us for your cruelty to pirates."

The captain, no, all the pirates stare at me with a sparkling look.

"Huh? No..."

"That storm defiled the ocean. Was it anger at us? We were supposed to be seaweed. But you gave us a chance, too. In that storm, you sincerely regretted and repented of your evil deeds, and only saved your life!

"" "" We reflected from the heart! No more bad!! "" "

No, no, no, no. I'm not even thinking about the shards.

This is a complete mistake!?

"And those of you who dive into the stormy sea to save our people... you are your squire, God's family!

"No!?"

Don't, keep it up and these people are accelerating their mistakes.

We need to make him understand that it's a mistake soon!

"It's not really like that! Because we're normal adventurers!

"Yes! I hope we behave that way so that God of the Sea can easily operate on earth!

No, it's not coming through!

"Look, you guys! You pretend you don't know anything so you don't bother God of the Sea!

"" "" Hey Captain!! ""

Wow, what do I do?

The captains have stubbornly read our statements in weird depth, too, and if we don't spread weird mistakes anymore, should we keep them quiet?

"Besides, the problem is with Liliera and the others."

After the storm, I looked around from above.

But I didn't see you anywhere.

I don't think we're going to drown because we're all wearing special bathing suits with underwater breathing and water pressure resistance that we used to give away when we were investigating megalo whales in seaside countries...

"Can't you think about it? Believe everyone is safe and let's get to fixing the ship now! Just in case it's okay to get caught in that storm, we need to make sure the flying gear is decent."

Whatever it was, this is how me and the pirates landed in the East.
