183 Episode 183: Merchants and Flying Ships

"No, it really helped"

On a worn out ship, a man who looks exhausted says thank you to me.

"If you hadn't had the street, we would have sunk the ship in front of the harbor."

Yes, we've come a short way to the port of the East, but I happen to discover a ship that's just about to sink right now.

Moreover, there were dozens of demons swimming around the ship, and there was no escape from the ship.

You can't just not help me if I find a situation like that.

When I leave the ship's steering to the captain, I magically sweep away the demons. Then I rushed the ship magically into space.

Fortunately, the flight device was complete so that the pirate ship could move without me.

"No, never mind. If anyone is in need, it's only natural to help."

"No, no, you can't be a normal wizard, like magically floating a sinking ship! It must have been God's guidance to meet you!

"Oh, haha, you're exaggerating"

To the word God, I laugh bitterly when I remember that the pirates mistake me for a sea god.

"I do business in the nearby port town of Hatba. My name is Kiyobu."

"I say Rex. I came to this country for work."

"Oh, were you still exotic? I'm still lucky you saved my life."

Seems he assumed from my outfit that he was not from this country. Mr. Kiyobui still nods.

"The harbor is already at the end of your eyes and nose, so you'll carry it like this"

Well, there's no way we're gonna be talking on the ocean forever, and shall we go to the harbor?

Luckily, if you can see the harbor at this distance, you can carry the ship like this.

"Whoa! Thank you, Mr. Rex!

"Stream Control!

Reduce gravity with float control to move a floating ship with airflow operated magic.

Float control is not magic for movement, but wind magic can be used together to move short distances.

Operating system magic that manipulates matter is better if you move it more precisely, but this magic is easier if you want to improve the efficiency of your magic consumption in an open place.

If I magically move the ship, the captain's pirate ship will follow.

And within minutes, we arrived at the port town.

"!? ~ ~ Huh!?"

As the harbor approaches, I can confirm that a large number of people are making a lot of noise.

Probably disturbed by the shipwreck being transported.

We've seen a lot of people gathered in previous lives for questioning and rescue activities.

But then you can't unload the ship.

At times like this, it's common sense to vacate the harbor land to land a ship.

"I'm sorry! I want to unload the ship, so get out of the way!

Speak to the people on the ground with wind magic, and the stiffness on the ground grows even louder.

And when the boat reaches over the harbor, the people who were gathering together come to the edge at once.

"All right, we're landing!

When the ship approaches ground rinse, I activate ice magic to secure the ship.

"Frozen Pillar!!"

Two thick, large columns of ice grow on each side so as to support both sides of the ship.

And when the ship lands in the harbor, it leans slightly and brings it to the ice column.

"Arrival. Unload before the ice columns melt."

"Whoa! I didn't know you cared that much! Thanks! Hey, you guys! Hurry up and unload!

"" "Go!!" "

The sailors will begin work immediately to unload the load.

And when I looked at the pirate ship, the ship had landed at sea and landed on the harbor.

I'm glad you got off there.

I taught him how to move it and let him steer it in a bump production, but it's good to be able to get off properly.

"Hey! Who's in charge of this ship!?"

The pirate ship landed safely. When I was sure I could do it, all of a sudden strange men came aboard, saying something like that.

Are you an official in this town from the waist?

"I own this ship."

And, Mr. Qing Bingwei leaves in front.

"Oh, what about you!?... What's this about?!? Why did the ship fly in the sky... No, it's not, why did you put the ship on top of the harbor?!?"

At first, he was an official who had been asking questions about his presence, but as soon as he saw Mr. Kiyomori's face, he changed his attitude.

As far as this reaction is concerned, is Mr. Qing Bingwei the main owner of quite a few big stores?

"I was lucky enough to get caught in an example storm."

The expression of the official changes to the term example storm.

"Huh!? Is that the storm! But why? I thought you knew if you went offshore, you'd be caught in that storm.

"I was unlucky. I missed my path trying to avoid a bunch of demons that I stumbled upon, but while I was focusing on my demon opponent, it seemed like I was on a tidal stream, and when I realized it, I couldn't escape."

"Was it caused by demons?"

"I was on the verge of sinking a ship, but fortunately, a good wizard saved my life and brought me to port."

"Magically ship!? Is that possible?!?"

"And I can't believe it... I've never even heard of such magic!?"

"Yes, who the hell did it!?"

When I heard the words, the gaze of Mr. Qing Bingwei and the sailors turned to me simultaneously.

"... Ah, yes. I did it with wind magic."

"Huh?"

Is the official really with Mr. Kiyomori? Turning his gaze all the time, Mr. Kiyobui nodded with a serious look.

"You... oh, no, you took this ship?

"Yes, I floated this ship, which was about to sink with floating magic"

"So the other ship was magically floating, too?

Oh, you mean the pirate ship.

"No, that's not me."

"Oh well. Right. I just can't believe we're magically moving two ships!

There's no need for the officials to snort.

The wind magic, unsuitable for precision manipulation, makes it a little dangerous to string precisely to the harbor because of size problems. And even more so if that's two ships.

It would be tough if you accidentally misaligned and broke it in contact with the docks.

"Yes, because that ship is a ship with a magic item that grants the ability to fly."

"So long as it's done, is that a magic item...?

"" "What, magic item duh duh duh!?" "

For some reason, it's not just the officials, it even raises a surprising voice to Mr. Qing Bingwei.

"Oh, was that ship picked up a magic item?!?"

"Ah yes. There were so many holes in the ship when the storm hit me that I built a sassy flying device to evacuate to a safe place."

"" "Sassy magic items!?" "

"Well, it's an emergency evacuation product, so it's a sneezing device that can only float and move around."

"" No, no, no, not to that extent at all... ""

"Oh, but that ship is pretty worn out by the storm, too, so I don't think I can sail without a full repair and it's flooding again..."

"Wow! The water's coming in!

"Hurry up and float the ship!

Just as I prove my words, another flooded pirate ship rushes to the surface.

"And well, that's the way it is"

"" "... ha" "

Um, maybe we should dismantle that ship already.

Not even offshore, I guess it's too dangerous to go out into the outer ocean and head to the continent.

"And I thought I was going to die..."

After loading and unloading the baggage and disembarking from the ship, the captains of the pirate ship also took the ship down to the land of the harbor and escaped from the ship that had been overthrown with a crawling body.

Good day, Captain.

"Ah, this is the sea... Lex's husband"

The captains who saw my face stretched out their spines and lined up in front of me.

"The ship has become a shame."

"Heh! Nevertheless, with a species with life. Come on! Without Lex's husband, we'd all be seaweed!

"" "Exactly. Come on!

"That's more than anything you can say. Then it's okay if you can't get on the boat."

"Hey, but, well, get a new ship right away and get out to sea. Come on!

The captains forcefully replied that even if they lost the ship, they would not see it snap, and Ning Ro would surely return to the sea.

"Good luck. But there are things you can do before that."

"Do you...?

To my word, the captains lean their heads.

"Officials, these people are pirates. He tried to kidnap me and my people."

"" "" Huh?

"Oh, really?

I tell the officials that the captains are the pirates who tried to kidnap us.

"Yes, so catch me"

"Wow, okay. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

"" "Ha!!" "

Soon the guards in the harbor will tie up the pirates in Kyoton.

"" "What... yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?" "

"What the hell is this? Come on!?"

Why does the captain say this to me?

"No, because you're all pirates. We have to make amends before we go back to the ocean."

"Oh, no..."

The captain turns blue and enters Henahena.

"Oh, you can't run away. If you run away and get caught, you'll be punished more severely."

"" "" Hie!? ""

The captains imagining the sight tremble as they blued their faces.

Because once a captured sinner escapes, the sin gets heavier. Hey.

Besides, sinners are very unlikely to succeed in escaping because they can install tracking magic items when caught.

If you are caught in this state, you will be forced to work in disregard of your will until you are cursed so that you cannot resist and atone for your sins.

If that's what you see, it's better to honestly atone for your sins.

You got it, guys.

"" "" Heh, heh!! I will seriously atone for my life!! ""

The pirates stretch their spines and are taken by the guards with a serious face.

"Yeah, if you admit your sins and earnestly atone, you'll be able to regenerate one day."

Come on, pirates!

"That doesn't look like such an inspiring sight..."

"Shit, there are things in the world that you should be comfortable with."

"Ha..."
