Chapter 269 – Inversion

#269.

─Chwaaaaagh!

The moment the ship rises to the surface. The archipelago caught my eye. It was a shape that reminded me of Japan on Earth. There are islands lined up in a row, and several pirate ships are placed at regular intervals in the waters in front of them.

“Then please.”
“Do not worry.”

Pew!

Kiris and I jumped into the air at the same time.

We were torn in two to take control of each major facility. With the sound of air bursting, my body shortened the distance to the island at a terrifying speed.

On the pirate ship, they hurriedly gathered the sailors and fired cannons and fired bullets, but I couldn’t be defeated by such a thing. Rather, he took offense and began to sink it with a strong baptism.

Even so, my speed did not slow down at all, and in the blink of an eye I passed the sea and reached land. Expanding the detection range, I picked up my eyesight and scanned the surroundings thoroughly, found the place I was aiming for and landed right there.

– Stop it!
─Go to the communication room! Expunge all records!

Communications room. Although it is not a place with high-tech devices like the modern Earth, the coordinates of those who have a close relationship with the Searaster Pirates, such as the Emperor of Japan and the Samurai, are recorded here.

To be precise, it was where the communicator had the coordinates recorded. In other words, if you take control of this place, you can also figure out the base of the rest of them.

The guys desperately blocked it, but what about the last few things? All of the best are already sunk in the depths of the sea.

They couldn’t even resist the slightest bit and were hacked to pieces by the pitch-black sword. Digging into the communication room without the slightest delay, I killed the guy who was just about to erase the record and shoved all the communication devices in it into the inventory.

He said he could only bring the most important things, since all of them are impossible with Kiris, but it’s annoying to categorize them that way. After 5 seconds had passed, I left the communication room and moved to the next island.

There, other vigilantes were fighting the Siraster Pirates.

“Sue-“

Breathing in, I narrowed the gap between the jet-black swords that were lined up around me as if to guard me. It rotated furiously with him and began to vomit terrible vibrating noises.

The thorns of destruction created by mixing waves and savagery mercilessly bit the pirate ship.

Quagga gagagak!!

─Aaaaagh!
─Run away!!

There was no way the wooden boat could survive the strong winds. The dismantled ship turned into powder and scattered in all directions.

Those who were unintentionally swept along the path met the same result. No matter how good the country is, the sight of people reconciling with the blood fog and scattering in all directions made my stomach ache.

In that way, he hurried to the next target while sinking several pirate ships.

***

Chew!

“Keep it… !”

After slashing the last one, he raised his head and saw the reddish sky. The sight of the sunset coloring the blue drawing paper red was enough to get wet in the sentiment.

When he lowered his head, he saw the same red-stained earth. Hundreds of corpses have fallen and the ground is soaked in blood. The glow of the sunset shone on the pool of blood, creating an even more eerie atmosphere.

“Whoa… It’s over now.”

The fight that started in the afternoon continued for hours. An archipelago is made up of dozens of islands. As such, many facilities were scattered here and there, and it took a considerable amount of time to take over all of them.

Even the number of lives cut today would exceed four digits. When did you become such a great killer… This world made me this way.

Percussion!

The moment I was immersed in useless sentiment while watching the shimmering surface of the water. A sign went down and a voice was heard.

“Great job.”
“The captain also worked hard.”

Turning her head, she saw Kiris. Red hair, red eyes, as well as the red sunset and blood-stained earth. Red all over

But only Kirisu was shining with a beautiful red color. A strong presence that overwhelms all other reds. Kiris sighed, furrowing one eyebrow.

“Leader… ?”
“Yes. How long can’t I just call you you? Others call me the captain, but wouldn’t it be more convenient for me to call myself the captain as well?
“… Certainly.”
“You can just call me True, Captain.”
“… Please follow me.”

Kiris did not agree to my suggestion to call her by her first name and turned away. I tried to reduce the distance between each other with this, but it seems to be a failure.

Shrugging her shoulders, I followed Kiris to an island.

When we arrived on the island, we saw numerous corpses. All wore clothes with crossed muskets. These were the vigilantes who were sacrificed in this fight.

The members standing in front of it looked at the corpses with dark expressions and smiled brightly when they saw us. All of them had minor or major injuries on their bodies, and their clothes were stained with blood.

It would be a friendly smile to others, but it was completely different from the position of accepting it.

Even if the grim men are laughing, they are holding swords with dried blood on them, and it is just a horror movie. If this picture had been circulated on Earth, I would have thought it was a collection of serial killers.

‘Ah, is that right?’

Come to think of it, the people here are really serial killers. It is not at the level of a few criminals, but if caught, the sentence will basically be thousands of years.

Of course, if it had been Korea, he could have bribed and escaped with bail money.

When I was alone in such stupid thoughts, Kiris’s voice rang out loud.

“Good job everyone! The Siraster Pirates have been completely erased from this world! What we have done so far has not been meaningless. In the future, we can keep going. We will be able to drive out all the pirates in the end without stopping here.”

Kiris, who continued to speak for several minutes after that, cut him off once. The ship became quiet and the atmosphere subsided slightly.

“… Of course. Our victory was possible because of their sacrifices. Even though they close their eyes here, they will always be with us. On this back! On the chest! We will continue to live as one!”

At the same time as Kiris’s words, sniffles were heard among his members. Maybe she thinks she can’t shed tears because she’s old enough, but she holds back the tears she couldn’t stop.

But it wasn’t long. Kiris, who looked up at the sky as if they were there, laughed and shouted.

“So it’s a celebration! No sorrow, no tears! Every. It’s just a luxury of today. We’re going back to being vigilantes tomorrow. Got it!”

─Yes! Captain!!

Along with everyone’s loud voices, tears flowed from Kiris’ eyes. The dripping drops flowed down my cheeks and soon formed on my chin, and then tap! And fell off

She went with him and a fire rose from her corpse. The members waiting in advance carried the torches to the corpse with tears streaming down their faces. A huge fire rose from the tree under the corpse.

A musty smell stung my nostrils. The smoke rising from burning corpses stung their eyes and noses, making them suffer, but no one bowed their heads.

Haha! The smoke stings my eyes!”

It was Garos. As if the reason for the tears was because of the smoke, he rubbed his nose with his fingers along with a hearty laugh. All the other members who saw it burst into laughter and shed tears.

Until all the bodies are burned to ashes. All the sadness was blown away along with the smoke that scattered into the sky.

“… It’s all over. Are there any idiots still crying?”

Kiris, who wiped away the tears before she knew it and returned to her normal appearance, looked back at everyone and said that. It was faint, but the smile on his lips was beautiful.

“Haha! Do you still have a guy like that?”
“Could there be such a person? If there was, I’d kick your ass!”

When Orbin opened fire, everyone smirked and said one word at a time. If you look around and see someone really crying, you’re ready to kick their ass.

“Then now that the mourning is over… Shall we have a festival?”

─Ooh oh oh!!
─The leader is the best!

As soon as Kiris made such an offer, cheers pierced the sky. Perhaps thinking that it is not good to remain in sadness forever, Kiris quickly gave instructions to the members and started preparing.

Although I had already taken care of everything, I wondered if it was okay to have a drinking party here, the enemy’s stronghold, but Orbin and Garos were of the opinion that there was no problem.

Anyway, the number of people was divided and some decided to watch the sea or something. I’m sorry to those people, but they say it’s okay, so you should enjoy it.

Because each of the vigilantes put their energy into training, the preparations were made quickly. A drinking party was set up on the shore, a short distance from where the bodies were cremated.

As expected, it was Kiris who announced the start.

Standing with his back to the sea, holding a beer mug in one hand, Kiris looked around at everyone and vigorously stretched out his arms and shouted.

“Then let’s all eat and die!”

-Waaaaa!
-I’ll drink it all!

With Kiris’ declaration, everyone started drinking. For the first drink, they say that one-shot is the national rule or something. I tilted my glass as I watched Garos shouting and gulping down his beer.

Orvin, who was usually polite and tolerant, also drank like crazy. It’s as if he doesn’t care about the hangover he’ll have tomorrow.

Everyone was like that, so I, who was swept away by the atmosphere, had no choice but to drink in accordance with the level of drinking.

The beer was cold. Although there are few vigilantes, sorcerers also exist. The beer they had frozen using ice magic formed thin ice, and when they drank it, they scratched their necks gently, giving them a strange pleasure.

As if washing away a body stained with blood, the cold air that takes over the whole body trembles and kyaa! Exclaimed in admiration.

Haha! My brother is drinking well! Now, drink more! Drink!”
“As much as you like. I’m probably the strongest here.”
“Ugh! Guman full of confidence! Let’s see where we go!”

At my confident remark, Garos chuckled as if excited, and put his entire glass into the barrel and then took it out.

The beer, which had risen to a dangerously high level as if overflowing, flowed down his hand. He immediately took it, gulped, and set her glass down.

I forgot to hang out for a while, but now I can’t see Kiris. How could the captain fall into a position like this? Garos said to me as I looked around thinking that it was nonsense.

“Haha! Are you looking for the captain? After all, you’re interested!”
“… I never said I wasn’t interested. Isn’t that natural for a man?”

How could a man with a pepper refuse a beauty like Kiris? Garosu also nodded and shook his head at my calm remark. His body staggered from side to side as if he was getting a little drunk.

“Gorum! Gorum! Of course it’s our leader!”
“So where are you going? Don’t you like to drink?”

He drinks every time we talk, so I thought he was a huge drinker, but why did I fall for this position. At my question, Garos looked up at the sky with a bitter smile.

“Hmm… If you like it too, you will like it. Probably drinking alone in a quiet place. Would you like to go?”
“… I drank a lot of beer and I need to pee. I’ll be gone for a while.”
Haha! Excuses… Come on!”

I knew everything, and left the drinking party, leaving Garos behind with a smirk and a smirk on his lips.
