「───My destination is the deep sea」

What did you say!? Deep see is deep sea, right? You can’t go there in a swimsuit… ?

「Ah, don’t worry. I know how to use water magic」

「Then it seems to be okay」

「Eh… ?」

Suzu is completely at ease. I don’t know how she can be so assured. I wonder if water magic is that versatile… ? Well, I don’t think there’s much downside to me dying, but Suzu dying… I don’t like it…

As I was thinking this, the boat had departed.

───

「It’s around here」

「? There doesn’t seem to be anything… ?」

「I’ve been here a few times」

「Hee… Why didn’t you go alone?」

「… The sea monster was stronger than I thought」

「I see…」

It took us about 2 hours to get to the spot right above our destination. He reminded us not to let our guard down, as the monsters were said to be strong in this area.

「Then I’ll use water magic」

「I understand」

「Ah, yes. Please…」

For now, let’s trust the water magic. If it comes to it, I won’t be able to do anything…

「《Water Resistance》」

「「Ooh~!!」」

Our bodies are covered with a thin layer of something. It’s probably water. That’s not surprising since it’s water magic.

While distracted by the layer of water, I took out my sword from my inventory. Then the layer of water engulfed the sword. It was amazing. It’s the Black Wolf King’s Magic Sword again today. I won’t use Reizanmaru just in case, since the handle and scabbard are made of wood.

「All right. Let’s go」

「「Un!」」

And so we dove into the sea. Suzu also clutched in her hands the Eight Colored Staff of Abundance Prison that I had made… I wonder if she wants to keep it that badly… ? Well, I guess it’s because the material I used was rare.

『You two okay?』

『『!? I can hear you!?』』

『It’s friends chat. Handy, huh?』

『Yes, it is』

『…… You two can keep your eyes open, you know?』

『…… I know that, but I’m a little scared』

『… Un…』

I open my eyes fearfully.

What I saw was a large ruin. It was so enormous that I couldn’t even see the back…

───……

『Yoichimaru-san, monsters are coming』

『… I’ve never seen anyone use detection magic (physical) before…』

For some reason, he muttered in a dumbfounded tone and set his bow in the direction of the monsters that are coming towards us…

「────」

───Jabon!!!

He shot the arrow while uttering something. I couldn’t hear what it was because it was underwater, but I guessed from the movement of his mouth that it was 「Enchantment Hard Shot, Enchantment Water Resistance」?

The arrow flew at great speed, without any water resistance even though it was underwater, and pierced the brain of the fish-shaped monster that was approaching a few dozen meters away… The fish was also very fast…

Admiring Yoichimaru-san’s skill, I appraised the same fish that had just come from the ruins.

《Appraisal LV. ☆→☆1 》

The fish seemed to be a male. By the way, the name of the female ones is Mesakesan. When I told them the results of this appraisal, Suzu tried to cast magic, but I hurriedly restrained her.

『Ah, that was dangerous… We almost got electrocuted…』

『Don’t drag our allies into this… ?』

『Uu… I’m sorry…』

『When we get into the ruins, you’ll be active, so wait until then』

『… Yes』

So the 2 of us took up our sword and bow and intercepted the Sakesan army.

Author-san

A beautiful loli Ryuto in one piece holding a sword under the sea… I don’t know what’s going on here.
