Chapter 116

Chapter 116 \nThe End of Our Voyage\nBecause of what Tori said, my feeling of peacefulness instantly disappeared.

When it comes to Sword Fish, Ilya already explained it to me back at Esport, a fish with a sharp box cutter-fin, isn’t it?

「If I remember correctly, it’s a dangerous fish if they came in school…….」

And perhaps it’s because I muttered something flag-ish like that, silver Sword Fishes emerged in succession. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

On the deep blue sea, a large school of silver fish with large fins jumped.

I want to stare at them jump just like this but, the other parties are dangerous fishes with box cutters equipped. This is not the time to calmly observe them.

「Everyone! A large school of Sword Fish is approaching!」

Tori shouted with composure, perhaps he already experienced this kind of situation many times.

As a result, the expression of those who had been enjoying themself at the deck like Irvine, Mort, and Roomba becomes serious. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「You idiots!　All of you!　What the hell are you doing, lookout!」

The captain – Douglas – is yelling at the sailor who was on the lookout.

「I’m sorry! I didn’t realize it since they rose to the surface so suddenly!」

Oh well, they suddenly appear nearby after all. It’s also unavoidable if they fail to notice them since the lookout is spending their time being mindful of faraway objects. Even the closest one – Tori and I – only noticed them just now. You might be able to notice them immediately if you had someone with a wild sensing ability like Roomba on your side.

「Fine then, you guys just be careful there won’t be anything wrong at the more distant place! The others take position nearby!」

\n「「Yess!」」

Douglas-san gave his order right away while looking grim.

The sailors are climbing the shroud like crazy to keep a lookout on the surrounding area.

「Can we avoid it if we stop the Wind magic and lowered the speed?」

Aleutia shouts while holding her wand under the mainmast.

We might be able to evade the Sword Fish’s attack if the speed is lowered since the Sword Fishes are swimming parallel to the ship. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「No, when they’re already this close it’s not certain whether we can evade them or not, so please maintain the speed as it is, Aleutia and Alfried-sama. I will scatter that school of fish with magic」

「Got it!」

「Alright」

It was a powerful voice that gave off peace of mind to the listener, different from Ilya’s usual gentle voice.

The other side are fishes, which we don’t even know what they might be thinking. And they might change their course on a whim, but I think it would be safer if we just drive them away.

「There’s nothing from behind us!」

「Starboard side and bow are also clear!」

Irvine, Mort, and Roomba shout after checking each surrounding area of the ship.

Each member of the Silver Wind that is moving briskly and expecting things to happen is so reliable.

They are not a party that we requested to be escorts just for appearance’s sake on the ship. It feels like they are used to dealing with sea monsters.

「It’s dangerous right now so please stay near Aleutia, Alfried-sama.」 \nAs I was watching and being impressed with the Silver Wind members’ action, Ilya came here to warn me. But if I stay here, then the Sword Fishes might rush past Ilya’s interception.

Even if just one of them came flying here it was like a knife flying my way, so I’ll keep maintaining the magic next to Aleutia without hesitation. In fact, it’s better to just get back inside the cabin, but I will just observe them under the pretext of maintaining the Wind magic.

It’s alright. If push came to shove, I’ll just put up a Shield to protect myself with all my strength.

Roomba is holding a large sword in front of me, standing next to him with a round shield is Mort, giving me a sense of security. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Let’s just pray that Mort doesn’t end up like Gates. I want you to turn a blind eye if there was ever a situation where I had to protect Mort who is holding a shield.

The Sword Fishes was approaching from the port-side while making splashing sounds of water *pashapasha*. When I thought of all of those fishes as leaping knives, I became so scared that my blood runs cold.

 Sure enough, sea monsters are somewhat different.

If it were ordinary fish, then I could just use Psychic magic to hurl the net their way to get a big catch and secure food for dinner.

But it’s a shame that the opponent this time is Sword Fish since the net will just be shredded with their sharp fin.

Just when I was thinking of such things, Ilya – who is responsible for intercepting the large school of Sword Fish attack – raised her wand and chanted a spell.

「『I asketh thee　A fierce, raging heat, burst and explode 』!」

Along with the sound of something cutting through a cloth, she shook her wand.

Shortly after, a small flame appeared from the tip of Ilya’s wand and flew toward the school of Sword Fish.

It is certainly written in the magic book that it’s a spell belonging to the explosion magic group, but it appears to be lackluster. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

As I vacantly looked at them, the flame reached the middle of the Sword Fishes and suddenly flashed, and the next moment, it made a thunderous roar as it exploded.

The impact sends a lot of Sword Fishes to fly off and a massive amount of seawater rises.

I withstand the vibration from the wind pressure and waves that were delayed by grabbing Roomba’s pants.\nSo that’s why we use Wind magic to navigate for as long as we can for five days.

And so, we arrived in Kagura after six days, a day earlier than the original schedule.
