Chapter 115 – Southern Sea (2)
We decided to leave the cherries in Perne and move on to the next location.
Renia flew up as one with the Spirit King, and all the remaining members rode on Minercia’s back.
“If it is a southwest square, it is ultimately located in the south. Jinu, do you know anything about the south?”
“I think I heard that the south is… A place close to the sea. Sometimes, when seafood comes in, I think I heard that it was caught in the southern sea.”
When ordering seafood at restaurants around the world, you won’t necessarily be able to say that it was caught in the south, but you’ll likely hear the word “Southern” A lot.
When I think about it, it seems like it’s been a while since I’ve seen the ocean itself.
If it were the original world, I think it would have been a scene that you could see whenever you were bored, whether on TV or on the Internet, but now it’s hard to know what it looks like.
All that comes to mind is the sight of countless blue waters lapping.
“Wow, so we’re going to the sea? I’m excited! Let’s go to the sea, wear pretty swimsuits, get in the water, swim and have fun!”
“Yuria, we are not going out to have fun. Concentrate on controlling Minercia.”
When Yuria heard the word sea, she got so excited that she forgot she was piloting Minercia and turned her head towards me.
As Yuria’s excited face turned back towards me, Ellie frowned and pointed out Yuria’s behavior.
“Anyway, Mine is smart so she goes well, huh.”
After hearing what Ellie said, Yuria turned her head with a sullen expression on her face and looked in front of her again.
“It’s going well, just like Yuria said. I don’t think she needed to point it out.”
“Because it’s good to be prepared for any unexpected situation. If we fall from here, we don’t know, but Jinu will be seriously hurt.”
After hearing Ellie, I looked down and realized once again that, although I already knew, the trees in the forest were flying so high that they looked like small dots.
“That’s right. But do you guys know about swimsuits?”
Just now, I heard the word swimsuit come out of Yuria’s mouth.
Is this the swimsuit I imagine?
“A swimsuit is a swimsuit. Isn’t it something you wear when you go to the ocean or a valley? Is there a different concept of clothing in Jinu’s world?”
“No, that’s not it.”
Surprisingly, it seems that swimsuits also existed in my character’s world.
Well, if you think about it again, there were various swimsuits in Elion’s avatar.
Generally speaking, women’s swimsuits range from the basic one-piece shape that comes to mind to bikinis and even slingshot swimsuits.
I also had that swimsuit avatar, I guess…
As summer approaches, I change all of my character’s clothes into swimsuits to keep in mind the summer concept.
I don’t know if it exists as a reflection in that world or if it was originally there, but I guess it was there anyway.
“What is it, master? Are you imagining us in swimsuits? We might take a step back when we get to town again, hehe.”
When I couldn’t answer properly, Noah, who was sitting behind me, was tapping me and laughing.
“Well, you’re not wrong. You’ve all worn swimsuits before, right? I imagined what it looked like back then. If you don’t get hot when you see that look, you’re not a man.”
“Uh, huh? Really? I didn’t know you could be honest.”
I remember characters with large breasts wearing some type of bikini, and characters with small breasts wearing one-piece swimsuits.
And I don’t know why, but among the Elemental Master’s avatars, there was an avatar that looked like a woman’s swimsuit, and of course I dressed it up in that to match the concept of Rachel’s character.
“Then, when you go to the sea, how about trying on a swimsuit while taking a break? If your master wants it.”
When I said I imagined everyone in swimsuits, Lien raised a good idea.
“That’s not bad either. Let’s first find the equipment indicated by the compass and then rest for a day.”
Thinking about everyone wearing swimsuits that I had only seen in games, I started to get a little excited.
Even though they had already seen her naked body except for Noah.
Since I’m in the south, should I spend the night with Noah?
Unless Noah refuses.
“So are we going to the sea? Hehe, I’m excited!”
Even though it took three days to fly, it took three days to arrive at a place located in the south.
We landed near the village as it came into view.
“Where is this again? It seems like it’s another country.”
“Last time I researched at the library, it was said that the Arpe Continent has one country each in the north, south, east, west, and center.”
Listening to Ellie talk, I think I’ve seen that too, but my memory is vague.
“The center is the Kingdom of Brittinya where Arya was, the Kingdom of Francia is to the east, the Kingdom of Aldora is to the west, and the Kingdom of Gabondi is to the south.”
“Ah! That’s right, I think so. This is the Kingdom of Gabondi.”
I’m starting to feel like I’m going to have to look around the entire Arpe Continent to find equipment for summoning.
If this were some kind of story, wouldn’t it have them find one in the south and one in the west, summon the remaining two, and then go north and destroy Numeron, the dimensional gate?
I think I would have done that if I were a writer.
I checked to see if a new village had appeared in the 〈 Return 〉 skill list I had acquired this time, and there was a new item called Libreville.
“Now, looking at the 〈 Return 〉 skill list, I see a new item called Libreville. I think this is Libreville.”
Then it’s time to bring in the cherry.
We told you not to wander around outside while we were away and to wait safely at the accommodation, so you can go there.
“Then I’ll bring Cherry.”
“I want to go with you, Jinu. If you go alone, you might end up in danger, so I’ll go with you.”
As I was about to use the 〈 Return 〉 skill, Renia raised her hand high and stopped me.
“We can come together anyway, so let’s do it. Just in case. Now, hold my hand.”
In fact, now I no longer have to be in danger.
This is because there are 〈 Return 〉 skills obtained this time and Time Stop, which is a raid skill.
Unless it was an attack that I was not aware of, if I used Time Stop to slow down time and then used the 〈 Return 〉 skill, I could get out of a dangerous situation at any time.
It’s almost a perfect survival combo.
Unless I am attacked without my knowledge and die in one hit, I will never die anymore.
Still, just in case, it would be better to take one person with you rather than going alone.
When I stretched out her hand, Lenia smiled brightly, as if she was happy, and took my hand and clasped it.
“Me and Lenia are going to bring her Cherry, so you guys grab your compasses and do some research beforehand.”
I handed over the compass I was holding to Ellie.
“Yes, Jinu. Take care.”
I held Rhenia’s hand and waved to everyone who remained of her and used skill 〈 Return to Fern 〉.
Then, as a headache that I had not yet gotten used to shook my head, the scenery around me changed.
“Ugh, this is the pain Ellie and Lien were talking about.”
“Ah, there’s nothing I can do about this useful skill. I guess I’ll get used to it as I use it.”
Enduring a pounding headache, Renia and I returned to Fern and arrived at the hotel we were staying at.
When I entered the accommodation, I could see Cherry lying on the bed and sleeping quietly.
I walked up to Cherry and pressed my finger into her plump cheek.
Cherry frowned as she felt her cheek being pricked, then turned in the opposite direction and lay down.
That kind of look was cute to me, but it doesn’t seem to be that way for Renia.
Seeing her cherry’s appearance, Lenia made a scary face and slammed her fist into her cherry’s head.
“Ahh! Your head! What are you talking about…!? Boss, Renia!”
“What are you talking about? It’s us. Are you sleeping well, kid?”
Cherry woke up to pain ringing in her head and screamed in surprise when she found us.
“Haha, Cherry. I arrived in the south and came to pick you up.”
“Hey… If you had come, you could have just woke me up…”
Cherry covered her sore head with her hands and made a sullen expression.
“That’s because you’re just sleeping cheekily. You don’t know when Jinu will come, so you should have been waiting.”
Renia still seems angry.
“It’s okay. Let’s just go.”
“If it’s okay with Jinu…”
We joined hands and used skill 〈Return〉 to get out of the dorm and move back to Libreville.
As expected, a headache that I was not used to came on me, and the scenery around me changed.
Not only me, but also Renia and Cherry were holding their heads and suffering from headaches.
Of course, she told Cherry about the headache before she left.
“Boss… It hurts a lot more than you said…”
Still, it hurts.
We walked along the outskirts and entered the village entrance, enduring a painful headache.
“This is Libreville. It’s amazing because I’ve never been outside of Fern!”
“Definitely… Maybe because it’s close to the sea, there are quite a few water spirits.”
We slowly looked around the village.
I had already whispered to Ellie that we had arrived.
We were told that we would wait at the entrance to the village because we might accidentally pass each other while moving.
“Is there any equipment here that can be summoned?”
“I hope so. If it’s the equipment the Void guys used, it can’t be helped.”
I just hope it goes smoothly without any special events occurring.
What a tiring life it is to have something always happening.
I just hope in my heart that it will go smoothly.
As we were waiting at the entrance, the girls who had been looking around first came back.
“What do you think? Have you confirmed where the equipment indicated by the compass is?”
“I was going to tell you that. I did find the direction to the equipment, but…”
I feel a little uneasy when I see Ellie slurring her words unusually.
What else is happening?
I held my breath and waited for Ellie’s next words.
“Perhaps the equipment is located in the sea further away from Libreville.”
What?
In the sea.
How can I find it again?
Jinu’s eyes went dark!
