Chapter 162: No, I really think that’s impossible

Starting the design of the large ship, I concentrated drawing the plan. Doganbo-san and Golan-san went to collect ores from the mine in the south.

There were many things that were necessary to plan out for the ship’s exterior, controllable pitch propeller (CPP), and magic turbine. Additionally, including the planning, the construction of the large ship will take time. That’s why we have to do it alongside our other projects in the Sanctuary.............

Aside from the ship construction, I was busy with house construction, field clearing, infrastructure maintenance, and alcohol brewing.

Then Undine, together with Sylph, called me who was stuck to a desk.

「I found it. We’ll lead you from here on Takumi, Sophia, then Kaede-chan should be on standby in Takumi’s Subspace. Sylph can carry two people.」

「You found a Sea Dragon?」

「That’s right, I was thinking that it will take an instant for Sophia to bring it down using me with Spirit Magic, but Takumi will be essential in the recovery and have Kaede-chan secure it just in case. Now then, let’s go quickly!」

「Ah, yeah, we’ll get ready immediately.」

「You don’t need to prepare.」

「Okay, let’s go!」

Undine forcibly got me off the desk, then Sylph covered Sophia and I in a swirl of wind.

The moment after I thought my body was floating, I shot up towards the sky with intense momentum. The mysterious thing was that I couldn’t feel any wind pressure. It seems Sylph was protecting us with wind.Alll latest novels on novelbin/(.)com

Upon reaching several hundred meters high in altitude, we were momentarily suspended, then once again accelerating at intense speeds but horizontally this time.

「Uwaaaaaaaーー!!」

The place we arrived at after an hour was a 360° view of ocean as far as the eye can see.

「Have Kaede-chan on standby.」

Still...................

「As expected, I don’t know what to think of killing a Sea Dragon so simply.」

「It’s fine, to a Great Spirit, dragons and goblins aren’t much different.」

「Still, stop treating it like that.」

The Sea Dragon, a creature in the upper ranks among the dragon species, looked so pitiful.

It somehow felt like a wine and dine, but it raised Sophia, Kaede, and my level well.

「Now then, we’re returning. Sylph, please.」

「Leave it to me!」

「Wai, slowly! Uwaaaaaaaーー!!」

Sophia and I were on the ground exhausted when we returned to the Sanctuary. We didn’t feel wind pressure, but that was too fast, Sylph.

It was also troublesome after that. It’s great that we were able to hunt the Sea Dragon, but dismantling a gigantic monster over 100 m long was too much for just us. I conscripted Titan to assist in the mass production of golems, and we somehow managed to get it done with additional help from Doganbo-san and the Dwarves, the Elves managing the orchard and wine making, and the small-bodied Cat Siths. Though, actually, the ship’s design isn’t finished yet so the dismantle parts will stay put in my item box for now.

The Sea Dragon was being disassembled on the beach west of the Sanctuary. Though the older kids like Wappa and Colette were feeling frightened, the younger kids like Lala, Sara, and Shirona squirmed close to the Sea Dragon and excitedly tapping its large body.

Afterwards, as if par for the course, we had a barbeque. It was more successful than the Sea Serpent barbeque we had just recently. It seems dragon species taste much better the higher the status. The Elven parents and children were also happy eating it.

Fluna-san said she had mixed feelings about the reversal of having a scrumptious meal made of Sea Dragon, a monster which had been hunting them before.

Doganbo-san, Golan-san, and the Dwarves were responsible for mining ores in addition to the alcohol brewing. We obtained Sea Dragon scales, leather, and bone. We need to secure Treant Wood too, but the crucial design was a considerably high hurdle we couldn’t progress through. The Controllable Pitch Propeller and Magic Turbine in particular were making smoke come out of my head.
