“Chapter 281: Their Journey”

Ralph had already prepared for the trip. It was up to me to give the orders to depart.

We have 3 to 4 days to reach the place and come back with the Unbreakable.

– Grandmaster, are you leaving already?

Raksha will be in charge of the work while I’m away.

She was a bit reserved at first, considering the powerful friends surrounding me, but now she’s firmly accustomed to us.

– You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be back before you realize.

– I trust you enough to know you’ll be fine. But I want you to take this with you.

– Nebula!? Are you sure?

– I’m sorry to say this, but I don’t think my hand is dexterous enough to make full use of it. I think it would be better suited to accompany you on your journey.

– …Alright. It’s yours, after all. I’ll take care of it.

– Thank you.

I put the knife in my waist, grabbed the rest of my equipment, and left the store to meet with Ralph at the harbor.

– Yo. Did you make sure to pee? (Ralph)

– I made sure to mind my own business. So, how did the deal go?

– Great! They’ll take us halfway through.

Our destination is the middle of the ocean. We paid a fishing boat to take us as far as they could before going their own way.

– Aaah~ Good old sea. Brings back memories.

– Memories?

– I was born in a small fishing village on the seashore… But it’s gone now.

It’s not an unusual occurrence. It’s known that the beasts lying at the bottom of the ocean tend to rise and attack villagers on the coast.

Luckily, nothing like that has happened at Bay Road. And even if it did, we would be ready to jump into action at any time.

– No need to dwell on the past. We’ll be setting sail soon. And we’ll have a lot of free time until we reach our destination. Might as well grab a rod and fish. We could cook whatever we fish… You can cook, right?

– Yeah.

Boarding the large boat with fishermen, Ralph and I left Bay Road while gazing at the buildings growing smaller.

– Takayaa~ I hit the jackpot. Can you take a look at this little gu- What are you doing?

– Hm? I’m getting ready.

– Is that diving equipment? You know I can use magic to make air screens around us, right?

– Well, it never hurts to be overcautious. We don’t know what’s down there.

The Unbreakable is situated at the bottom of the ocean. Who knows what kind of magical beasts will attack us?

If for some reason Ralph’s magic stops working, I’d like to have a backup resource available.

– Hey, you kids! Come here!

One of the fishermen called out to us with a panicked tone.

– What’s wrong? (Ralph)

– You’re adventurers, right? One of our crewmates was dragged by the fishnet!

– Takaya, let’s go.

– Right.

Rushing to the front of the boat, a loud roar made our floor tremble.

– A magical beast. (Takaya)

– Yep. It’s a Devil Kraken. I’d say it’s a small one. Or medium-sized.

From the water emerged a giant squid-like beast as big as a cargo ship, swaying its ten tentacles.

– Do you think we can digest one of those? (Ralph)

– I wouldn’t know, I’ve never had one. But I don’t think they taste good. (Takaya)

– Shame.

– Why are you two talking about eating!? We need to abandon the bo- (Fisherman)

– Ah, but I could other parts, like the ink sac.

– Roger that, boss.

It’s unfortunate that these fishermen happened to encounter a magical beast this dangerous.

But it’s unfortunate for the kraken that Ralph was on the boat.
