Chapter 1276 – [An Eventful Summer]

The voyage lasts for several days. In the meantime, I spent time chatting and talking with Ruri.

No, I would like to talk about this place as much as possible, but Ruri only talks about her previous life.

“To be honest, I lived a little short in my previous life. But I think I will live a little longer this time!!!!!”

“Can’t you live longer if you want to?”

“Human beings will die someday. Just because they are members of the god’s family doesn’t mean they can’t live forever!!!”

The Ruri are reincarnated people in a different sense from me. It’s me who remembers my previous life, but in fact, those who have thought about their past are rare, so they usually live that life and don’t remember their previous life.

Every time I live a different life, and knowing that, I jump into the next life. So it is Ruri.

If you think about it, even during Mad Max Ruri, he died comfortably. When I think of it, my mouth hurts.

“Anyway, the place we’re going this time is the Sunfish Clan’s Safe Zone!!!!”

“No, why the sunfish?!”

“I think I’m going to die suddenly!!!!!”

“Right, it really was.”

“Oh, really?!”

“It was ruined dozens of times, but the Sunfish Clan was re-established. Among the clans, there was one that was destroyed, rebuilt, and repeated.”

“Hey, that’s no joke. But it’s rare.”

“It’s a place where you think about ruin and prepare for it in the first place, so it’s a place that runs so well that it’s difficult to find a longer history than that in this era.”

On the one hand, it seems like a good idea.

In this world, it is the individual, not the organization, that matters. Because I can’t do anything if I bounce off alone. Unless you’ve stolen or committed something very important, you won’t be able to send a pursuer.

Even if an organization collapses, people are the most important factor in rebuilding it. So they created an organization that would be ruined and built from the beginning to gather people more than anything else.

Even if it is destroyed, there must be people who think that it will be possible to rebuild it. Such people create a base of support.

I think it’s a better place than I thought. Because in a world like this, survival is better than being strong. Being strong is not a guarantee of survival, but those who survive are strong.

“Let’s go over there and get some things we need. There are so many people lined up that things like food and other things are lacking. Especially things like clothes.”

“You can just wear a swimsuit!!!!”

“Uh-huh, Eden. If you wear a swimsuit, the problem gets bigger.”

“If you wear a swimsuit or something with a fucking lewd body, crazy bastards will stick to you!!!!!”

“Hey!!! You don’t have to say that out loud!!!!”

“Devil, to be honest, Eden’s body is a fraud. Who sees him as a middle school student?”

“Mary!!! You too!!!!”

Anyway, the Neo Drum, which moved quickly, eventually arrived at the safe zone of the Sunfish Clan.

Wherever you want to go, it is a strange place that seems to have been made by attaching medium and large ships. Its appearance, which seems to have been glued together, is quite bizarre, but on the other hand, I could see that it had been maintained and repaired for a long time.

“It looks like a place where something was glued together.”

“That’s not the case. They’re good at making and fixing things that look good. Neo drums were also made here.”

“It’s like a base.”

“It’s such a nice place. I have a lot of acquaintances. Oh, can I have a drink?”

“Use up to 4 bottles as you like!!!”

“Thank you for the cool transaction”

It’s a pretty big place. Although it is built on a ship, it still has its own taste. It is said that in some countries there are places where people live on a boat.

Eventually, Ruri heads towards the back of the safe zone and parks the boat in a separate spot there. There were a lot of people visiting, so it was a fairly good place, so there was no problem with parking.

“Hey, Ruri. It’s been a while. Seeing that you’re alive and not dead, do you think you’ve gained something?”

“The harvest is great this time. How much is the parking fee today?”

“Two gold coins per day. Ten per week.”

“I don’t think I’ll stay for a week. I’ll stay for a couple of days.”

Ruri handed 4 gold coins to a person who seemed to be related to this side.

Since this is a situation, general currency does not work, and transactions are made with gold, which is valuable. Basically, they trade in gold coins, but they do it for convenience only. In fact, the currency is gold itself, not gold coins.

Eventually, we got off the ship along with Ruri. Even though I was like that, Eden and Mary covered their faces separately, fearing that they would get in trouble because of her looks.

“What is it, are you guys?”

“Never mind”

“Are you going to make a clan?

“It’s not like that. It’s just someone who happened to be with me.”

“You’ll understand that when you see it. Anyway, go in.”

Following Ruri, he enters the safe zone of the sunfish clan in earnest.

The top was not so high, perhaps because this place was built by tying boats together. The ship is a little big, but it’s not like a container ship or a battleship, it’s a place made of ferries, so there are only about 2 or 3 floors above.

Even so, this place has its own unique smell. The fishy smell of fish, and the smell of rotting fish. I can’t say it’s good, but its unique smell is quite attractive.

“Wow, that’s great here”

“Isn’t it cool? Later on, if we go to the safe zones of larger clans or nations, they will be wider and more impressive. Some of the larger ones are operated based on floating cities that have not yet collapsed.”

“Huh? But that must be pretty awesome.”

“I’ll take you later. Earn money first. Then you can buy what you need.”

All we can sell now is the alcohol Eden brought. There are medicines, but we decided to put them aside because we might have something to use. If there are any left over, you can just give it to Ruri.

Basically, the first floor is the main structure, and the second and third floors are additional. It was almost nothing more than a wild structure made by making a frame with rebar or steel frame and adding plates.

However, the structure itself made of such wild plants gives off a unique atmosphere. Even though it is crowded, you can feel the unique culture here.

“Let’s go to the place where the Sunfish Clan is located.”

“Isn’t it like the mayor if it’s a clan leader here? Can we meet?”

“I have my own personal connections!!!!!”

Hagisa Ruri Considering her skills, she must have some personal connections.

We follow Ruri to the upper floor. It’s about 3 floors at best, but the higher you go up, the fewer facilities there are, and only the facilities you care about are visible.

Such facilities passed by and entered the most prominent building. A separate person with a weapon similar to a gun guarded them, but they exchanged eye-to-eye with Ruri and didn’t particularly stop them.

“Do you know each other?”

“This episode’s mom is from here. I was born here too”

“Ruri, was that person also Ruri?”

“Don’t think that all Ruri moms are Ruri!!!!”

If you think that everyone is Luli just because they are of Ruri’s lineage, then it’s really Ruri……. Ah, Ruri’s Gestalt collapse is coming!!!!

Anyway, when we entered the clan leader’s room, we were greeted by a bald, brown-skinned man.

“Oh, no marker. You’re here again. Are you still alive?”

“Ah, what’s wrong with being alive? It’s good for you too if your first love’s daughter is alive.”

“When are you talking again!!!!!”

“I’m going to have to worry about the story that the uncle liked my mother for the rest of my life!!! Isn’t it natural that I have to boil it and eat it until the ingredients are soft?”

The conversation between the two was quite informal. He seemed to be an old acquaintance, but judging from what he said, it seemed like he was an acquaintance of Ruri’s mother this time around.

He seemed to be of such an age……. Even to me, he seems like a pretty good person. Bald, but that’s okay.

“So, what business did you come this time? Are you still looking for that absurd thing called the dry land?”

“Because there really is such a land!!!!!”

“If there was such a place, someone would have established a country long ago. You have to know how to see reality.”

“Why don’t you have a dream!!!!”

“I’m afraid I’ll die then. You, you won’t live long if you act like that.”

“Then what will you die?”

Ruri said simply. However, this did not mean that she took it lightly, and on the other hand, it also meant that Ruri was risking her life for what she was doing.

I’d rather die than bend my will. If you just dream of an ideal, you are only a dreamer, but if you risk your life there, you are a confident adventurer, no matter how absurd your dream is. So, of course, Ruri was an adventurer.

Before long, Ruri introduced us to the sunfish clan leader.

“Ah, these are the people who will accompany us this time. Greetings.”

“My name is Worst. This is my daughter, Eden. And this is Mary.”

“Nice to meet you. Call me Jamie.”

The language Ruri used here was English. The language he and Ruri spoke with was also English, so I decided to write my name in English as well.

He shakes his hand and greets him in his own way. There are some good people, and I think it’s probably because Ruri acted as his parent while staying here.

“Anyway, Mister. Did you find something new this time? Buy it for me.”

“Ha, what did you bring with you that made you so confident?

“Let’s see and talk”

I can see why Ruri is here. This is because it is difficult for someone who can properly pay for the luxury of alcohol unless they have that much money or power. There needs to be trust.

In a world like this, if you have something of high value, it’s easy to lose it. If possible, it’s good to have someone who can sell without stealing it, but if you think about that, Ruri was looking for a perfect partner.

“This is what I’m selling. It’s alcohol, will you like it?”

“If it’s for alcohol, I often come in… Wait. Is that fruit wine?”

“Well, how about it. Would you like a sip?”

“Good”

Lurie Pong! And unplugged the fairy tears. Then, the rich fruity scent begins to spread throughout the room.

Fairy tears belong to high-class alcohol even at the dimensional level. Not to mention, in this post-apocalyptic world… It was practically nothing more than a cheat key. Originally, I didn’t intend to bring it, but Eden brought it and I use it like this.

“Oh no, this is…”

“Does it smell good? Take a sip.”

Ruri poured fairy tears into one of the glasses on his desk. It is not a transparent and clean glass made in modern society, but it is a glass that seems to have been made with the utmost effort, and thanks to this, the pretty sky blue of fairy tears is reflected.

On the contrary, thanks to the rugged exterior, the light of the sky was diffusely reflected, giving a more strange feeling. More than that, of course, is the scent.

“Uh, how can such a rich scent…Fruit? No, it’s not just one, it’s more numerous and thicker than any fruit scent I’ve ever smelled…!!!!”

“Isn’t it better to drink after evaluating it?

“Mmmm!!!”

He immediately tilts his glass and drinks the sky-blue fruit wine. And while feeling the taste, my eyes trembled as if I was ecstatic, and even tears flowed.

How would it feel to drink the luxury of fruit-based alcohol in a place where it is difficult to eat even one fruit? It’s probably inconceivable to me. It would be a pleasure that only the person concerned knows.

“……It’s good, it’s good. It’s worth risking your life for this cup.”

“It’s not just that.”

“What?”

“This is a legacy from before the Great War. Look at the old man’s gray hair.”

“Grey hair? No, it’s been 10 years since I haven’t grown hair like that. What is that…… Huh?! Uhhhhh?!?!?!”

I had a sudden thought. Fairy tears have the effect of curing hair loss.

The effect is immediate. If you drink it, your head will grow from the moment you drink it. However, the reason why its effect is not in the limelight is that fairy tears are mainly consumed by dimensional civilizations, and hair loss can be cured in places of that level.

You can treat hair loss with other things, but you don’t have to drink alcohol to treat it. I don’t know if there isn’t a certain hair loss medicine like there is on the other side of the earth. In dimensional civilizations, fairy tears are more expensive than hair loss pills.

You don’t think that alcohol made at Nature Garden is cheap just because you drink it often at our house, right?

In any case, he was startled as he touched his hair, which had sprouted out of nowhere, to be exact. Since he overcame the punishment of being bald, his reaction is understandable. I’ve never been bald, so I’m not sure.

“Three, my God!!! How did this happen!!!!”

“It tastes good, but it’s a legacy from before the Great War that also cures hair loss. How is it?”

“Awesome, but how did you know this? It would have to prove its efficacy, but was there a bald person in the party?”

“After drinking that, my hair became thick. The jungle is always sunny and then cloudy!!!”

“I guess I’d better not hear that.”

Ruri, what you’re talking about… No, let’s not. Ruri is originally that kind of kid. And it’s better to say it than to explain it in detail.

“How much are you going to pay? Since you’re a man, I’ll do it cheaply.”

“How many bottles are there?”

“About two”

“Buy all of them. A thousand gold coins per bottle?”

“Ugh, they’re pretty expensive. Is it okay to use that?”

“Well, it’s money that I was saving anyway. It would be nice to use it like this.”

“Okay, then give me about 500 in cash and the rest in safe zone bills”

“I get it”

Because he is the ruler of this place, he was quick about administrative processing. For cash, I just had to take it out of the safe, and for bills, I just had to make a separate certificate and sign it.

The money jumped right away. I don’t know how much 2,000 gold coins will be, but at least I don’t think it’s cheap. That should be enough money for a while.

Ruri, who took the bill and cash, waved it at me.

“Oops!!! I made money!!!!”

“I don’t know if I’ll have enough to buy this and that”

“It’s going to overflow. Today I’m shooting!!!!”

Seeing Ruri and me like that, Jamie asked us.

“You look pretty close.

“While we’re done”

“…………”

Jamie’s complexion hardened at that. Then he took out a gun-like weapon that was next to her and pointed it at me and shouted.

“I’m against this marriage!!!!!”

No, that person is also the same person as Ruri’s father this episode!!!!!
